Lying in bed, Troy turned and stared at his sleeping pregnant wife. The word caused smirk to turn into a grin. He was so excited to be a dad and for the first time in months, Gabi was truly happy. Every time she rubbed her belly, he felt his heart swell.

"You're a million miles away." She mumbled before turning over and kissing him good morning.

"Just thinking . . ." he trailed off.

"What are we going to do today?" Gabi wrapped her arms around his waist before placing a kiss on his lips.

"Hm . . . I kinda like chilling here in bed with you." Troy grinned.

"Or not . . . we have to do some planning." Gabi grinned.

"Which by the way, we have to figure out how we're going to tell everyone." Troy said looking at his wife.

Rolling back over, she ran a hand through her hair before smiling. "I don't know. I want it to be something creative yet something they'll never forget."

Troy grinned. "Hand me the phone."

"What are you going to do?" Gabi gave her husband an evil glare before compiling.

"I'm going to give Aunt Tess and Uncle Aaron the good news." Troy grinned. "You can do Uncle Drew and Aunt Abby."

"Troy!" Gabi hissed. "Nolan might be asleep . . . and you don't want your sister hanging you for waking up your nephew."

"Never mind that . . . she'll be too happy that she won't care. By the way, where is your dog?" Troy asked in reference to Duke.

Raising her eye brows, Gabi double took. "Since when has Duke been my dog? You were the one who begged and pleaded that we get him."

Troy put his hands up in surrender. "Duke . . . come here boy."

And before either one of them could react, Duke was up on their bed panting happily. "Good morning boy."

"Gabs . . ." She looked away from Duke before smiling. "Love you babe."

"Love you too." Petting Duke some more, Gabi turned to her husband. "Are you going to call your sister or no?"

I was waiting for so long
For a miracle to come
Everyone told me to be strong
Hold on and don't shed a tear

Picking up the phone, Troy quickly dialed the number before putting it up to his ear.

"Hello?" The joyful voice of his sister's came on the line.

"Yes hello . . . is an Aunt Tess there by chance?"

"I'm sorry but you have the wrong number. There is no Aunt Tess here."

"Oh I'm sure I have the right number. Now may I speak to an Aunt Tess?" Troy's grin grew wider.

"Now I've told you once . . . there is no Aunt . . ." Tess trailed off as Troy winked at Gabi before smiling.

"Troy . . . what are you trying to tell me?" Tess' excited voice asked.

"By next March you'll be an aunt. Gabi is pregnant." And before he could react, Tess was screaming into the phone.

Gabi laughed as her husband rubbed his ear. They could hear the reaction as Tess shared the information with Aaron.

"Congratulations you two! You guys are going to be great parents." Tess gushed as the two smiled.

"Thanks Tess. We'll see you later, all right?"

And after saying bye, the phone was disconnected before another set of numbers were dialed.

Through the darkness and good times
I knew I'd make it through
And the world thought I had it all
But I was waiting for you

"Hello?"

"Why hello, is there an Uncle Drew present in the household today?" Gabi's cheery voice asked.

"I'm sorry but he stepped out of the room. May I take a message?" Drew's smart comment came back.

Gabi grinned at her husband. "Well tell him he's going to be an uncle for the second time by next March."

"Gabs?"

"Yes Drew?"

"Congratulations. You and Troy are going to be great parents." Drew's excited voice told her.

Mouthing 'I Love You' to Troy, Gabi smiled. "Thanks Drew. Will you tell Abby for us?"

"Sure. We'll see you guys later."

"And that's how you tell your siblings you're pregnant."

Gabi grinned before kissing Troy. "Should we tell Joe on the phone or in person?"

"Call him, Gabi."

Picking up the phone, Gabi dialed her brother's cell phone number before listening to it ring. He picked up after three rings with an excited voice.

"Hey Gabi. What's happening?"

Shrugging her shoulders, Gabi smiled. "Nothing much. But I do have news to tell you."

"What kind of news?"

I see a light in the sky
Oh, it's almost blinding me
I can't believe
I've been touched by an angel with love

"The kind that is going to make you an uncle in March."

"What?"

"Joe, my younger brother, is going to be an uncle when March rolls around."

Lacing her fingers with Troy, Gabi listened to her brother try and make sense of the news. "Congratulations, Gabi. Tell Troy for me?"

"Will do, Joe." Pausing, she kissed Troy. "Will you not tell mom? Troy and I'll be over later to tell her."

"Sure! That won't be too hard. I'm outta the house all day."

"Thanks Joe. I'll talk to you later . . . I love you."

"Love you too Gabs. Bye!"

Throwing the phone on the bed, Gabi smirked. "And that dear husband is how you tell your brother you're pregnant."

"We did a pretty good job didn't we?"

"We sure did." And the two rolled over and started their own personal activities.

Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls for a new, new sun

1:00 pm

"And how dear husband, do you know both set of parents will be here?" Gabi hissed.

"Because I just talked to dad and he said your mom is coming over for a late lunch." Troy rolled his eyes.

"Just wondering . . . don't get all pissy."

"Love you babe." Troy smiled sweetly at his now angry wife.

Throwing her arms around his shoulders, Gabi leaned into him before kissing his lips. "Sorry . . . I'm just worried how they're going to take this."

Leaning forward, Troy pushed the doorbell as Gabi returned to his side before lacing her fingers with his. The opening of the door caused their smiles to brighten.

"Troy, Gabriella. This is a surprise. Come on in." Meghan opened the door with an equally bright smile.

Hugs were given, before the three walked into the sunny kitchen. "Look who I found at the door."

More hugs were given as Gabi and Troy smiled at their parents. "What brings you guys here today?"

Jack looked at his sun and daughter-in-law suspiciously as Gabi turned to Troy. "Can't we stop by and see what our parents are up to?"

"Not when you two look like that."

"Look like what?" Troy crossed his feet at the ankle before grinning at his parents and mother-in-law.

"Look like you're going to burst if you don't tell us something." Shrugging his shoulders, Troy turned to Gabi.

"Should we tell them?" Pulling her closer to his side, Troy kissed her forehead before looking at her.

"They're going to have to know soon . . . or we won't be able to hide it." Gabi looked up at him.

"Just tell us all ready!" Meghan and Anna yelled.

A new day has come
A new day has come

"Well . . ." Gabi smiled dragging it out. "How do the names grandma and grandpa sound to you?"

The instant the question was asked, tears sprung in both of the mom's eyes. "You're pregnant?"

Nodding her head, Gabi smiled. "Yes, Troy and I are expecting in March. You guys are going to be grandmas and grandpa."

Right as the words left Gabi's mouth, Meghan and Anna both jumped up, rushing over to Gabi and Troy. Wrapping her arms around her daughter, Anna cried tears of joy onto Gabriella's shoulder.

"I am so happy for the two of you." She told her daughter and son-in-law. "I have faith that you two will make amazing parents."

Smiling at her mother, Gabriella let tears of joy spring to her eyes.

"Mom, we didn't know how you guys would react, so we decided to tell you all in person instead of on the phone like we told Abby, Drew, Tess, Aaron and Joe." Troy looked at his mom as she shook her head.

"You both have nothing to worry about. We are all so happy for you." Meghan said, congratulating them.

"Should we all go out to celebrate tonight?"

Where it was dark now there's light
Where there was pain now there's joy
Where there was weakness, I found my strength
Hush, love

I see a light in the sky
Oh, it's almost blinding me
I can't believe
I've been touched by an angel with love

5:30 PM

"Gabriella, Troy, tell us why we are all here. We want to know!" Sharpay exclaimed as she looked up at two of her best friends. They were all gathered around a ten-people table at Applebee's restaurant.

"Calm down, we're going to tell you." Troy hushed the group of friends as they all remained silent. Turning to his right, Troy smiled at Gabi.

Not being able to keep it in any longer, Gabriella smiled at all eight of their friends.

Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls for a new, new sun

"Troy and I are going to be parents in March." She shouted as all of them were left with gaping mouths. Sharpay, Nicole, Taylor and Kelsi all jumped up, rushing over to the dark haired girl as they all congratulated her.

"Troy, dude, you guys have a bun in the oven now." Chad clapped his friend on the shoulder as Troy casually rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, too bad you and Taylor don't have one yet."

Looking over in his direction, Taylor sent Troy a death glare as he put his hands up in surrender.

Pointing to Chad, Troy laughed at his friend's face. "It was all him."

"Congratulations you two!!" Sharpay smiled at them. "You two are going to be truly remarkable parents."

"We hope so . . ."

The eight friends looked at one another before looking at the newly announced parents. "You guys are going to be fine. You have us, your parents and siblings to help you along."

Gabi turned to Troy with a smile. "Think we'll be able to handle this?"

Kissing her quickly, Troy grinned. "With you by my side, I think we can handle anything."
