Sorry I have been MIA. Well I'm back now and I hope you would enjoy this chapter!

The sunlight shone in the room where Troy was asleep in. He regretted the day he let Gabriella choose which side of the bed he should sleep at. He tried covering the sunlight with the pillow but it was no use. He couldn't sleep anymore.

Troy then sat up and stretched comfortably. He then found that Gabriella was still asleep soundly right next to him with the pillow there still seperating the two. Troy checked the clock at the nightstand and saw the time was already half past eleven. He didn't knew he even slept that long. He also couldn't believe Gabriella isn't awake yet. Usually Gabriella always got up before Troy did so she could have breakfast. Troy thought she was probably tired from the long day they had the day before.

Yesterday, Troy and Gabriella had visited several orphanages to donate some of the stuff that didn't sell during The Bolton Charity Auction held on Christmas eve. Both of them had a really fun time while visiting all the children from the orphanages.

The best part of all, Gabriella has seen the side of Troy that she has never seen before. The side that had showed how sweet, caring and nurturing he is to the children and she could easily tell how great Troy is to children by just looking at the amount of kids running to his arms and hugging him. It was the image that melted Gabriella's heart officially. Or at least that's what Troy thinks. If warming Gabriella's heart won't make her admit that she loves Troy then he don't know what will. Gabriella is so hard to figure out at times. Maybe that is why Troy likes her.

While in his thoughts, Gabriella started to shuffle in bed. Troy sat still so he won't wake her up. Troy couldn't help but think how lucky he is to be married to Gabriella and have her have his baby. Troy then layed down to where Gabriella baby bump is and started to rub his hand on the baby. It has been a while since he last talk to the baby.

"Hey there little girl," Troy greeted. "How have you been? Have you been healthy? I can tell you're slowly starting to grow more and more and pretty soon you'll be here to officially meet mommy and daddy. Doesn't that sound just exciting?" he asked. The baby then somehow answered Troy by kicking.

"Everything have been set up for your arrival. Your bedroom is nearly finished. We just have to place everything in place for you. But I do have one problem that involves you though. What am I going to name you? Mommy decided to put me in charge of it which is probably not a good idea. She wants your name to start with the letter C but all I have is Christina, Crystal, Candace, Callie and few more but I just can't see you with all of those names I thought of. I won't have any much time to think about it because in two months you'll be born. I wish somehow you could help me think of a name. Why would mommy want you to start a C? It's the most common letter of anyone's name," Troy asked.

"Because her mommy wants something to remind her of mommy's mommy," Gabriella said, startling Troy. Gabriella smiled at his surprised look, "Good morning daddy," she greeted sarcastically.

Troy could tell the change of colour of his face. It was mega red. Gabriella looked at his face, waiting for him to respond. "So what's your excuse for talking to my baby bump?" Gabriella asked.

"I was sleeptalking?" Troy said.

Gabriella giggled at his answer, "Nice try but I heard everything."

"I'm sorry. I didn't meant to wake you up or anything," Troy apologised.

"It's cool. So do you really want to know why I want our baby's name to start with a C?" she asked. Troy nodded and she continued, "It may sound stupid and cheesy but my mother's name starts with a C and I just want something to remind me of her. It's just something I've been thinking about when I was young."

Troy thought about it. Now that Gabriella mention it, it makes perfect sense. Her mother's name is Charlotte. Quite a beautiful name. And Gabriella's idea of somehow making it a legacy thing isn't a bad idea either. "I don't think it's stupid. I think it's...smart," Troy said. "Did I wake you up with my 'sleeptalking'?" he asked.

"Kind of. Don't worry it's not just you. I'm kind of hungry anyways and I just remembered I'm eating for two," Gabriella said. Before getting up from bed, she gave Troy a kiss on his cheek. Troy was confused by her actions.

"What was that for?" Troy asked.

Gabriella shrugged casually, "I don't know. Why? You don't like it?" she asked innocently.

Gabriella eyes practically shined as she looked at Troy's face. He couldn't help but notice the fact that she was glowing with the morning sunlight. She was simply breathless even though she just woke up from bed and the fact her hair is in a complete mess.

"No, no, I don't mind it at all. It just seemed so random, you know," Troy answered.

"Really?" Gabriella asked. "Then I guess you won't mind if I just so happen to kiss you randomly right?"

This time Troy was seriously confused, "Gabriella, what are you talking about?"

Gabriella only answered him with a smirk and started to lean in close to Troy and eventually kissing his lips. Troy was of course shocked with her actions but did nothing to stop her. And why would he? He have been tempting to kiss her again since forever! The kiss is so intense, it was almost too good to be true. While his lips are still touching Gabriella's, he started thinking, why would Gabriella randomly want to kiss Troy after getting up from bed?

Suddenly, there was an annoying sound of ringtone interrupting their kiss. Troy looked at his nightstand and he couldn't find his phone at all. When he looked back to Gabriella, she was gone.

"Troy!" a voice said. It sounded like Gabriella but Troy couldn't find her. "TROY!" Gabriella yelled again but he still couldn't find where she was.

Back to reality, Gabriella was trying to wake Troy up because his cell phone ringing. Troy's ringtone is one of the most annoying ringtone in the world and Gabriella can't stand hearing it anymore. One thing Gabriella hated about Troy is how is a heavy sleeper. If there was a fire in the apartment, he'll be burned to death by the time he wakes up.

"Troy! Wake up!" Gabriella said as she hits Troy with a pillow.

"Hm? What? What happened?" Troy said as he got up. He opened his eyes and saw Gabriella standing in front of him. "Oh my god, Gabriella you're here. You're not gone," he said, hugging her suddenly.

Gabriella was confused, "What are you doing? I didn't go anywhere. I was just making lunch," she said.

"Lunch?" Troy asked, still not releasing Gabriella.

"Yeah, lunch. Apparently, you decided to sleep in today so you missed out the breakfast meal I ordered from McDonalds," Gabriella said, trying to get out of Troy's grip. "What did you have a nightmare or something?"

"I don't know," Troy replied.

"Well, whatever the case is, your cell phone has been ringing the same stupid ringtone for the hundredth time already. Just call back whoever it is so I can watch TV soundly," Gabriella said before leaving the room.

I knew it was too good to be true, Troy told himself. He checked his cell phone by his nightstand. All the missed call was from Chad and his mother. Shocker. He decided he didn't want to talk to anyone today. He was still tired from the long day yesterday. He laid back down and tried to take a breather. His dream is very unusual. Usually when he gets weird dreams, it's trying to tell him something. He thought about every detail of the dream.

The baby's name, Gabriella's reference for the name and their random kissing moment. Could the random kissing moment be due to the fact that Gabriella really likes Troy? He gave it a thought and realised that he knows Gabriella likes him. Could the dream be telling him that she's definately crazy for him? He hope so.

Suddenly his cell phone rang again.

"I'M DEAD SERIOUS TROY! IF YOU DON'T PICK UP YOUR PHONE, I'M GOING TO THROW IT OUT THE WINDOW!" Gabriella shouted from the living room.

"Alright! Alright! Chill out! Don't get your hormones in a twist," Troy responded before picking up his phone. "Hello?" he answered.

"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?" Gabriella shouted back.

"Gabriella! I am on the phone with my boss right now! Keep it down!" Troy excused.

A few minutes later, Troy appeared in the living room all dressed up. Gabriella took a moment away from the TV and looked at Troy. "Where are you going?" she asked.

"My boss called and said I had to be at work today," Troy answered.

"But it's the day after Christmas and I thought we could just watch a bunch of DVDs together and have a movie marathon," Gabriella said.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know," Troy apologised.

"You know what, it's fine. You just go ahead, I'll call Sharpay and we'll have a girls movie marathon. Or in Sharpay's case, watching Notebook ten times in one day," Gabriella said.

"I really am sorry. I'll make it up to you. I promise," Troy said.

"It's cool but before you go, I want to talk to you about something important. Do you think you'll have time?" Gabriella asked.

"Sure, what's up?" he asked while sitting down on the couch next to Gabriella.

"Well, in two months, our baby is going to be born," Gabriella started.

"I know, it's unbelievable right?" Troy said.

"Yeah, majorly. Anyways, uh...do you remember my dad saying that we have to get along for the sake of the baby and just come clean about the whole marriage fiasco thing?" she asked.

"Yeah, why?" Is she going to admit that she loves me? YES! Ok Troy, pull yourself together, you two are alone in a room and there is no place for you to get all excited, especially in front of her face. Troy thought.

"I think it's time for you, and me, to tell your family about our secret," Gabriella said.

"Oh," Why does she keep doing that? Why does she always give mixed signals to me? Forget that, what about the fact that she's really to tell my family about our big secret? She's right, we should tell but what if something happens?

"So?"

"So what?" Troy asked.

"So when are we going to tell your parents?" Gabriella repeated.

"Yeah, I'm not so sure about that," Troy said.

"What do you mean you're not sure about that? What, you want us to lie to our baby and your parents until she's 18 years old?" Gabriella argued.

"I didn't mean that-"

"Then what did you mean? Are you saying that we should tell our baby to lie to everyone?" Gabriella debated.

"No. I meant that I'm not ready to tell them yet. It's complicated ok. I'm just afraid how they will react to our lie," Troy said.

"You mean your lie. I'm just the one who got trapped into this mess in the first place because I was such a baby to lose my damn sketchbook!" Gabriella argued.

"You don't mean that," Troy said.

"Yes I do. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be married and we wouldn't be in this mess at all and I wouldn't even talk to you again anymore," Gabriella said.

"If it wasn't for me, you'd be trapped in that dead end job of yours filing papers for the boss you hate and if it wasn't for me, you would never met my family and my mother and you wouldn't even get your very own studio in the first place so stop complaining!" Troy argued.

Gabriella glared into Troy's blue eyes challengingly. "If you don't tell them, I will."

"Or what?" Troy challenged.

Gabriella kept quiet, trying to figure out what to say next. "Or, I'm moving out," she decided.

"You wouldn't."

"Try me," Gabriella replied. "By this evening, if you won't tell your parents, I'm out, we're getting a divorce and you're not allowed in my life or our baby's life at all and don't worry about the whole lawyer thing, your family's lawyer district isn't the only one in the country. With the money I inherit from my dad, I'll make sure you won't ever enter my life ever again."


So what do think? Good? Bad? Not what you expected?
