Meant To Last
An- Love you all! Seriously, I never thought my stories would reach past 50 reviews. Thanx soo much! My new story is actually out now. If you're interested, check it out. This chapter is dedicated to LunarEclipse360(for making a banner for 'Summer Love') and HSMandChelseaFCfan(she won the trivia). The answer to the trivia was reading her book. Everyone got that answer. I'd be here all day if I listed all the people. I think thats pretty much it. I seriously have no clue how long this story will be. I'm pretty sure it will be my first story over 14 chapters though. That's all for now! Oh, I'm skipping some time, because I don't want to go throught Gabriella's entire pregnancy.
Disclaimer: Sadly, I own nothing.

Chapter 13
It has been three months since Melissa left. She kept her promise and came back to help me pick out the ring and plan a proposal. It's very simple, and No, I'm not telling anything about it. Gabriella wasn't so happy when she saw Mel giving me a hug goodbye. Let's just say that night ended with a huge argument...and lots of cuddling. Now, we're getting ready to go to Zeke's for a barbaque. We haven't told them about the baby yet. Gabriella's not ready to. I can understand that. I'm not exactly ready for Shar's squeals. "Troy, are you ready to go?" Gabi called from my bathroom.
"Yeah, I just need to tie my shoes." She walked out from the room and smiled. Gabriella was wearing one of those shirts. You know, the ones that are like kinda loose and everything. I think she called it a baby-doll top. I don't know. You couldn't even tell she had a growing bump.
"So, how do I look?" She questioned, nervously. I took in her apearance, she'd definitely gotten more fuller in some departments. I mean that in the best way possible. Of course, I wouldn't dare say that to Gabriella. This whole pregnancy has made her a bit more...moody. I swear, if I so much as say something like 'Cheesecake is the worst food ever.' she'll bite my head off(i would too...jk)!
"You look absolutely amazing." I motioned for her to come over, and she obeyed. I wrapped my arms aroun her waist and held her close.
"Yeah, but I think my bottom has like expanded..." Time for a hilairous joke!
"Yeah, but it's always been big, so no one would notice. Although it is nice that you've got more junk in your trunk." She hit me playfully on the arm.
"You checking me out Bolton?" See!? That's the same thing Mel said!
"That I am." She smiled up at me and I returned it.
"You can't tell, right?" I shook my head to assure her. She smiled proudly and gave me a soft kiss on the lips. "They won't think I'm some kinda slut right?" Her question shocked me.
"No way Gabi. There's no reason for anyone to ever think that." I explained.
"Yeah, but there's the whole not being sure who the father is thing..." Her voice trailed off. The doctor never told us who the father was. She only informed us that we'd have to wait until the baby was born. On the upside, we can find out the gender in exactly one week.
"They'll be trilled. We won't even have to say anything about that, because I'll be helping with the baby no matter what." Gabriella kissed me once more with passion. She nibbled on my lip gently before pulling away.
"Do we really have to go to Zeke's?" I asked, still in a daze from her kiss.
"We do if we want to tell are friends." She giggled. I groaned playfully and she dragged me out of the house.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Yay! You made it!" Sharpay screeched, the very second we entered the yard. She immediately hugged Gabriella. She stared at Gabi's stomatch when she pulled away, but then shook it off. Gabi shot me a concerned look and I just shrugged. There was nothing I could say. "Okay, so make yourselfs at home, eat up, and we'll play a game later."
"What game?" I asked. If it was something to do with alcohol, then Gabriella wouldn't be able to play.
"Well, it was going to be our classic truth or dare, but Shar just told me she wants to play twenty questions or something." Zeke answered. I gave him a quzzical look, but he just shrugged. "She said truth or dare was getting old." Gabriella and I took our seats and began talking with the others. A few minutes later, Zeke severed up some burgers, hot dogs, salad, fruit, and his special crembrulee(i don't know if i spelled that right). Gabs was completely exstatic. I laughed when she asked for some bacon. We were all in deep conversations. Gabriella and I were listening intently to one of Taylor's famous and hilarious puddig stories. Chad, Zeke, and Sharpay were speaking of something else. Gabi wondered over to a nearby tree and sat on a blanket and I followed. I had my arms around her while her hands rested protectively on our baby bump. I kissed her softly on the lips and she glady returned the gesture.
"Hey! Why don't we play the game now?" Our friends asked as they came over. They ruined the moment.
"You guys are serious mood killers." Gabriella stated with a smile. I laughed and kissed the top of her head as the others seated themselves around us.
"Okay, so we're going to play twenty questions. It's going to be limited to two questions since there's so many of us." Sharpay directed. "Who wants to start?" Chad, of course raised his hand. He waved it frantically until Sharpay told him he could ask.
"Okay, so Taylor what's your favorite dessert and what's the stupidest thing you've ever done?"
"My favorite snack is of course pudding." She stated in a 'duh' tone. We all laughed as she contiued. "The stupidest thing I've ever done is losing touch with you." She and Chad shared a kiss. "Okay, I pick Shar."
"Ask away! I've got nothing to hide!" Sharpay exclaimed confidently.
"What happened to your twin brother and where is he?" Taylor asked. Shar's expression dropped a little. She had a brother?
"Well, Ryan went off after high school Juliard I think. it's performing arts school. I haven't seen him since, but I think he's in New York." Everoyne just nodded.
"He's really talented Troy." Gabi whispered into my ear. I nodded my head and turned back to the game.
"I pick Gabriella now." Gabs seemed surprised. She sat up and shook her head for Sharpay to continue. "Is there something that you're hiding?" Gabriella tensed up as all eyes fell on her.
"Yes. Now I get to choose the next person..."
"That was only one question." Shar interuppted. I hated it when she got all pushy. "My next question is what are you hiding?" Her eyes were focused on the brunette in my arms. Gabriella looked up at me and I nodded. It was time they found out.
"I-I'm four months pregnant." She said softly. The shocked and surprised faces our friends had was proof that they heard.
"That's amazing Gabriella. Come here." Taylor was the firts to break out from the shock. She leaned in and hugged Gabi. Everyone else soon followed.
"How did you know I was hiding something?" Gabs asked.
"Well, when I hugged you, your stomatch kinda pushed me away. Your hands are sorta protecting your stomatch, and Troy's always giving you these looks and he kept asking if you were ok. I didn't know you were pregnant, but I knew something was up." Sharpay explained.
"You've been very observant Sweet Potatoe." Zeke said. I'm going to pretend I don't see them eskeemo kissing.
"Alright, I choose Chad." Gabriella says. "What time did you wake up today, and did you shave?" Chad looked at her for a moment, but shrugged and answered her qustions. Incase anyone was wondering, Chad woke up at eight in the morning, and he did not shave.
"Alighty. I pick Troy." I looked up at Chad and waited for his questions. Truth be told, I'm a little afraid of what he'll ask. "Question one, Do you love Gabriella?" Easy answer.
"With all of my heart." I say looking directly into her eyes. She leans up and kisses me. Chad clears his throat and continues.
"Question two, when are you going to ask Gabriella to marry you?" Why what better time then now?
"Funny you should ask that." I stood Gabriella up and got down on one knee. Took her hands in mine and looked directly up at her. "Gabriella Joy Montez, I love you with all of my heart. I can't imagine my life without you. College was hell. I wished every single day that we hadn't broken up. I was miserable. When I moved came back, I thought I'd get another chance. Then I saw you with Jason, and my heart broke into even smaller pieces." Her eyes were filled with tears. I'm not sure if thats good or bad. "I know that we've both made mistakes, and I know that what we're going through is complicated. Years ago, you told me that you knew we were meant to last. That we were more than just 'summer love'. Let's show it to the world that we're more than 'summer love'." I pulled a velvet box from my pocket and slowly brought it up to her veiw. I opened the box up and let her see what was inside(picture in profile). "Will you marry me?" Tears were flowing freely from her beautiful brown eyes. She opened her mouth, but nothing came out. She took a deep breth before attempting to speak again.
"I..."

Cliffy! Sorry, but the chapter would've been too long if I kept going. I can't promise anything in the next chapter since I haven't made up my mind yet. What do you think she'll say?
REVEIW!
