Troy sighed heavily as he landed his body to his bed. He has never been so exhausted. He and Gabriella finally arrived home from their honeymoon. The honeymoon turned out to be really fun and exciting. Gabriella was mostly enjoying herself on the trip with visiting all the beautiful sites of France while Troy was busy doing everything to impress Gabriella.

When he said everything, he meant everything. He even made a list on how to get Gabriella to fall in love with him. It's ridiculous but jotting things down helped Troy to think.

List to get Gabriella to fall in love me

1. Be nice to her. No matter what.

2. Listen to her. No matter what.

3. Impress her with my 'talents'.

4. Bring her to places she might like.

5. Act like I know what I'm doing at anything.

6. Bring her to some place romantic and fancy so she'll know I'm doing it for her.

7. Tell her that she looks nice (not beautiful but just nice because we have to take baby steps in this.) randomly.

8. If any of those don't work, after when we get back to New York, buy women's magazine and search for what do women like about in a man.

9. Tell her the truth.

Unfortunately, most of the things on the list did not work one bit. He had a hard time being nice to Gabriella because she's too easy to make fun of. For example, one time she was too busy looking into the travel's guide that she walked hit a wall and fell down in front of people.

"OW…" Gabriella said after hitting the wall.

"Are you ok?" Troy said, trying to hold back his laughter.

"Yeah, just a headache. Did everybody saw that?" Gabriella asked.

"Yup. But don't worry. Many people are always looking forward to clueless tourists who can't keep their eyes out of the guidebook," Troy said, making fun of her.

Gabriella scowled, "Thanks for making feel all better, Troy. You're an amazing husband," she said sarcastically while walking away.

Troy tried to take her to places she might love, like the Eiffel tower and he suggested walking there because it might be more fun that way and also because he wanted to use the map to try and find the Eiffel tower so Gabriella will be impressed by his sense of direction.

"Alright, I think if we turn to our left, we might see the Eiffel tower…" Troy said while reading the map. He totally regretted not taking a cab. He had no idea to read a map whatsoever. Whenever he's going to places he didn't know, he'll use the GPS in his car. Too bad he didn't bother to buy a portable one.

"Or, you can just look up and then you can see the Eiffel tower," Gabriella told him while pointing to the direction.

Troy looked up and saw the tall tower just a few blocks away, "Oh yeah. I knew that. I was just testing you," he lied.

"Yup, sure you are. You certainly have a good sense of direction," Gabriella said sarcastically.

Troy also suggested to bring her to dine in at a French restaurant he heard about that was luckily near their hotel. He told Gabriella to dress formally because it was a fancy five-star restaurant.

"Hey, how about for dinner, we dine into that restaurant near the hotel?" Troy suggested, having high hopes she'll say yes.

"Oh, you mean Maxim's Paris?" Gabriella asked.

"Yup," Troy nodded.

"Nah, I'm not that into French restaurant and their delicacies. I only like their sites and stuff. I rather stick to eating the hotel food instead. Much safer and much for Americans," Gabriella said and then walked away.

"Damn it," Troy mumbled to himself.

He even complimented Gabriella randomly during the sightseeing. He was so desperate to impress her; he added that on the list. The first time he started to compliment her was after they had lunch in a small café. They were seated outside and were waiting to pay the bill.

"Isn't Paris just wonderful?" Gabriella asked Troy.

"Yeah, I guess…" Troy said. He needed to say something fast and quick, "Hey, you look nice today. Is that a new shirt?"

"It's a dress, Troy. And thanks for complimenting me for no reason at all. Did you do something wrong?" she asked suspiciously.

"Nothing's wrong. I just wanted to say you look nice that's all," Troy said.

"Ahh…I get what you're trying to do," Gabriella said.

"You do?" Troy said panicking. Did she already know? Did he make it too obvious?

"Yup. You don't want to pay the bill so you decided to that I should pay because you complimented me. Nice try, Bolton. But I don't get fooled that easily," Gabriella said.

Troy breathed out. Thank god she didn't know. "You got me," he said, playing along. "You were too good for me. I guess I'll pay the bill myself."

"You bet your ass you better," Gabriella replied.

Troy couldn't believe it. He even had a hard time complimenting a person. He had to be the worst flirt ever! With almost all the things on his list is used, he decided to use number 8 on the list that is, buy women's magazine and search for what do women like about in a man. It was stupid but it'll have to do for the meantime.

He is also planning to write a song to Gabriella that has hints and things about his feeling about her. Gabriella seems to be really good at listening to lyrics. Maybe she'll also get the message he's trying to send to him.

Right now is the afternoon of the day he and Gabriella that just got back from their honeymoon. Gabriella's best friend, Sharpay is with her right now in the living room while Gabriella is giving her the souvenirs, showing her pictures and also telling her about the trip.

Troy is now on his bed trying to enjoy the softness of the bed. For two nights, he has been sleeping in either an aeroplane seat or the couch. Though they had the honeymoon suite, Gabriella told Troy to sleep to at the couch because…

"We can't sleep in the same bed. It'll be too weird don't you think?" she asked.

Troy wanted to say that they had slept together in the same before but he decided to let it go because it would make things weirder than it is. Then suddenly, he felt thirsty and wanted to go to the kitchen to grab something to drink but at the same time he didn't want to interrupt Gabriella's conversation with Sharpay.

When he walked to the hallways, he stopped as he heard two girls squealing in excitement. He decided to hold his thirst and try to eavesdrop without getting caught.

Meanwhile in the living room, Gabriella and Sharpay were still discussing about the trip to France and Gabriella had also told Sharpay about the gift she received from Troy's mother.

"OMG! She actually bought you your own studio?!" Sharpay exclaimed.

"YUP! And guess what? Everything will already be readied for me. Like all the fabrics I need and all such and when my collection is complete, she's going to help me debut them!" Gabriella said. "How awesome is that?"

"Mega awesome! Ok, enough talk about your extravagant gift. I want to know all the details that happened to you and Troy during your romantic getaway," Sharpay said dramatically.

"Why would you want to know anything about it? Nothing really happened to be honest," Gabriella said.

"You two didn't sleep with each other again?" Sharpay asked.

"No. Why are you so concern?" Gabriella said.

"Well, sorry if I overstepped or anything but I was actually kind of expecting you tell me that you were starting to fall for him or something. I mean, you two have been gone for three days, isn't that enough for you guys to…I don't know…realised that you two are right for each other?" Sharpay asked.

"Sharpay, I told you a million times, Troy will never fall in love with me just because he had sex one time. Plus, I don't think I'm that interested in him that much," Gabriella said truthfully.

"Are you sure?" Sharpay asked.

"Positive."

"Well, did he ever like, do anything nice for you during the trip?" Sharpay asked again.

"Now that you mention it, actually quite a lot," Gabriella said and then she started to tell Sharpay about all the things Troy did and tried to do to her during the honeymoon.

"G? You are so oblivious. Troy has a major thing for you," Sharpay said.

Before Gabriella could answer, she felt the sudden urge to vomit again. She thought her vomiting days are over but apparently it came back. Without any word, she ran to bathroom and past through Troy but she didn't notice because she was already heading to the nearest bathroom.

Sharpay ran after her but then she saw Troy standing by the hallway.

"What are doing here? Have you been spying on us?" Sharpay asked suspiciously.

"No," Troy lied but managed to give a straight face. "I just want to head to the kitchen to pour myself a glass of water. What are you doing here?"

"I'm chasing after my best friend who is also your wife who suddenly had the urge of throwing up before she could argue with me," Sharpay answered sarcastically.

"Well don't bother chasing her again and again. She's been like this since before the wedding. She told me it was her nerves just getting to her. She even threw up a lot during our honeymoon. I asked to bring her to the doctor but she refused," Troy explained.

"Really?" Sharpay said. "That's odd…"

"What's odd?" Troy asked.

"Never mind. Go drink your glass of water or whatever it is you do at home," Sharpay said, chasing Troy away.

After Gabriella finished vomiting, she went through the medicine cabinet and drank some mouthwash. She didn't know what was wrong with her. Usually when she's sick, she'll heal the day after but this stomach flu, which she thinks she's having, is not going away.

"Hey G," Sharpay said startling Gabriella.

"Gosh Shar, don't you ever knock? You almost gave me a heart attack," Gabriella said.

"Yeah, whatever. Troy told me you have been throwing since before the wedding," Sharpay said.

"Yeah. So?" Gabriella asked.

"Have you seen a doctor about it?" Sharpay asked.

"No. But I think I'm going to do it soon," Gabriella said.

"Why don't we just go now," Sharpay said.

"Why now?" Gabriella asked.

"Well, I'll explain on the way. You said that there's a clinic nearby right?" Sharpay asked.

"Sharpay, do you know what's wrong me? You can tell me you know," Gabriella said.

"I don't know if I should scare you or anything but I think it will be a lot better coming from the doctor," Sharpay said.

"Sharpay, just tell me. What's wrong with me? Do I have some kind of disease or something?" Gabriella asked, already scared for her own life.

"Ok, don't freak out, but…I…I think you might be…pregnant."


CLIFFHANGER!!! Haha. So is Gabriella really pregnant or it is just some sickness?
