I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry for the looooong wait!!!! I could not figure out what to write! But, it's all better now (as you can tell). This chapter goes out to all my readers and especially the reviewers!! I love you all. I made this really long just for you! And this is one of the more important chapters. Let's move on so you all can read and I can see how everyone liked it. Enjoy! P.S.: Important question at bottom.

Don't own: characters, places, some stuff. But I do own: the craving of nachos and ketchup (at least as far as I know).

---------------------------------------------------------------------

It was the last day of school slumber party that the girls held every year. Gabriella had gone into the computer room of Sharpay's large house to talk to Troy on the phone. The three other girls remained in the living room.

Kelsi picked up a video camera. "I say we have some fun with Gabriella." Taylor and Sharpay looked at each other and then Kelsi and smirked. "You hide that camera, Kels. Tay and I will get Gabriella with this one," Sharpay stated, picking up another little camera and turning it on. Kelsi nodded and Taylor went with Sharpay to bring Gabriella back.

"Troy!" they heard Gabriella squeal. The two girls glanced at each other weirdly. They stuck their heads around the corner so they could see into the room Gabriella was in. Gabriella laughed. "Stop that, you perv. I'm in Shar's computer room and…" Gabriella paused as Troy said something, "Gross, Troy! I'm…not even gonna answer that question."

Sharpay decided she heard enough of the odd conversation. "Gabi, we need you back in the living room." Gabriella looked up and said into the phone, "Troy I have to go…they need me in the living room…Shar and Tay came to get me. They probably heard my side of the conversation at the end," Gabriella laughed at something Troy said, "No, I won't do that…Ew, Troy…I can't talk any longer…I love you, too. Bye." She hung up and looked up at her friends. "Sorry."

Sharpay waved it off and they started walking back to the living room. "I do want to know what Troy was saying to be called a perv," she smirked.

Gabriella opened her mouth and said, "Well, he-"

"Never mind!"

"But you asked."

"And I changed my mind."

The three girls entered the living room to find Kelsi sitting next to the flowers in the corner of the room. Sharpay noticed that Kelsi's camera was hid well in between the bouquet. Taylor, Sharpay and Kelsi made sure that Gabriella sat in view of the camera.

Gabriella laughed, "What's so important that you want to talk about?" Sharpay started to speak, but Gabriella's cell phone rang. She looked up at her friends with pleading eyes when she saw who it was. They noticed how her eyes sparkled with love and new it was Troy.

"Never mind," Sharpay said dramatically. Gabriella perked up and basically ran out of the room while flipping her phone open. The last thing they heard from her for most of the night was, "Hey Troy…"

The three friends by the flowers looked at each other. "It's Love," they all smirked.

Month 2

I can't believe it! I'm exactly two months along today. I was so excited when I woke up. Well, I still had my eyes closed shut. But I regret opening them. As soon as I did, I screamed. Sharpay was right in front of my face. "What are you doing in here?!" I shrieked.

"I slept here last night. You two really need to learn how to lock your door," she laughed, "A lunatic could come in here."

I rolled my eyes. "Too late," I muttered. I looked around for my clock. That stupid thing is always missing. I wonder who stole it this week. "Where's my clock, Sharpay?" I asked her pointedly. I have to figure out my crazy friends' schedule sometime. "Hey!" she raised her hands, "Don't look at me like that. It's not my week. Taylor has it this week."

Great. Taylor lives on the other side of town. My clock is twenty minutes away. I rubbed my eyes. "I don't get what's wrong with-" I didn't finish my sentence because someone slammed the front door shut. "What's wrong with what?" Sharpay asked flopping onto Troy's side of the bed and getting herself situated. It's a good thing Troy has basketball practice this week. "I don't get what's wrong with my crazy friends," I said.

"I think she's in her room!" Someone shouted from downstairs. I looked at Sharpay as a stampede ran up the steps. "What time is it?" She checked her watch before answering, "It's 7:58 am." Why am I the one who has to be woken up this early during the summer?

"Where's her room?!" I heard Jason yell.

Sharpay rolled her eyes. "I swear he gets dumber every day," she whispered, causing me to giggle. She is the most amazing person I know. Well, besides Troy and this baby. Footsteps were heard wandering the halls on the bedroom's level. The door burst open and Chad came in laughing followed by Taylor, Kelsi, Zeke, and Ryan.

"Damn, Jason needs some serious help," Chad said. Zeke spotted the closet and nudged Chad and Ryan. "Dude, sweet!" Chad ran to the closet with Zeke. "What are they doing?" I asked, still in the same position I've been in since I woke up. "It's just this stupid thing they have going," Taylor said.

Ryan walked to the door. "Jason, we found it!" Ryan came back to the middle of the room as Jason jogged into the room. He walked past the closet and as he did, Chad and Zeke jumped out. "GOTCHA!!" Jason's face was priceless. He was so scared and he screamed so loud the neighbors are probably awake now if they haven't been already. "Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the score is now 10 to 2," Zeke laughed as he and Chad gave each other a high-five. Jason just sulked and sat on the edge of the bed. I feel so sorry for him right now. His girlfriend broke up with him at the end of the school year. At least he's been coping great.

"So Taylor," I started. She looked my way and I could easily spot the guilt beginning to spread on her face.

"Yes?"

"Where's my alarm clock?" She glared at Sharpay, who shrugged, and I motioned for her to answer my question. "Um, it's at my house." Like I didn't know that already. "Care to elaborate?" I asked. She nodded her head toward Chad. "Ask him. He hid it from me the last time he was there."

Sharpay laughed. "So he hid it last night or this morning?" I rolled my eyes. "Shut up Shar." I hit her shoulder. I turned to Chad. "I'm going to need that tomorrow morning. Troy and I have to go to an appointment." Chad nodded. "Where is Troy?" he asked. Well, if I had a clock, I could see what time it is and know where he is. "He's out."

"Well, duh!" Ryan scoffed.

"I don't know where he is exactly because I don't have a clock," I finished, staring at Taylor and Chad.

Noon

"Gabs!" Troy yelled, closing the door shut behind him. "I'm home!" I looked in towards the foyer and waved him into the living room. "We're in here, honey."

Troy nodded slightly to show that he at least heard me and took his coat off to hang it up. He then slid off his shoes and placed them in the bin next to the front door. Walking through the foyer, he saw everyone sitting in his living room. "What's everyone doing here?" he asked, making his way towards me. I kissed him and he sat down next to me on the love seat. Convenient, right? Okay, so that's not funny. Whatever. I'm pregnant so deal with it.

"We picked a name out of "The Hat" and Gabs was picked so…we barged in and woke her up," Chad grinned.

Ugh, I hated "The Hat" ever since I was the first one to be picked. Chad invented (if you could call it that) "The Hat" in junior year around a month after the Triple Win. Everyone wrote their name on a piece of paper and put it into Ryan's pink hat. We would all take turns picking a name and then on every Saturday, the selected person would be woken up at an early hour of the morning, usually very rudely. We would all go out every Friday and, unbeknownst to the selected person, they would get him/her very hyped on sugar. This happened to work great; the "chosen one", as Chad likes to call them, would get little sleep hence the rude awakening. Chad decided that since he was the one who invented this, he would pick first. And, you guessed it, he picked me. So that Friday when we all went out, I was so sugar high that I could barely walk. Troy had to carry me some of the time and you didn't see me complaining. But do you want to know the worst part? They video taped the whole thing! Jason was the one who made copies so I'm putting the blame on him that I have to watch that every other week.

"Gabriella?" I snapped out of my thoughts just in time to see Troy waving his hand in front of my face. "Huh?" I asked. Zeke opened his mouth and said, "We were talking about what we were going to do today." Troy looked at me. "So where do you want to go?"

Me? Why is he asking me? "Why are you asking me?" Sharpay laughed. "You're the woman of the hour!" I scrunched my eyebrows together in confusion. "Why?" Chad scoffed, "Duh! You're two months pregnant today!"

I smiled. "We're celebrating because I'm two months along?" Everyone nodded. I thought it was kind of odd how they chose this particular month. I racked my brain for anything that would help me figure this out, but it seemed like they didn't want me to figure it out. Nobody was letting me think today! "So…" Taylor urged me to answer. "Um," I thought about it for a second, "How about the roller rink?" Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Troy smile. "That sounds great," he said.

Later that night

"Are you having fun?" Troy asked as he skated up to my side. We've been here for two or three hours. I giggled, "Troy, you ask the same question every five minutes. And, yes, I'm having fun."

He put his hands up in front of him as if he were surrendering. "Okay, okay. I just want to make sure." I looked over to his direction and saw Chad whiz by saying, "Seven minutes." Troy nodded in understanding, though Chad wasn't there any longer. I shot a questioning glance towards my boyfriend and all he did was shrug. I mean, come on, shrug?! I know he knew what Chad was talking about! Ugh! I let out a sigh that let Troy know I was upset that I was being left out. "Aw, come on, Brie. Don't be upset. You'll find out in…" he checked his phone, "six minutes and thirty seconds. I'm sure you'll love it. Well, I hope you do." This made me laugh. "That's my girl." He squeezed my hand and we skated off the rink and over to our table.

Sharpay, Taylor, and Kelsi were talking animatedly about something, but shut up as soon as I arrived at the table. I felt like crying and my eyes got teary. "Do you guys not like me anymore?" I sniffled quietly. The girls leapt up out of their seats almost as soon as I said this. Shar pulled me into a hug and smoothed my hair, saying, "No, no. Of course we still like you, sweetie. Don't you ever think otherwise." She pulled away, but kept her hands on my shoulders. "Do you hear me?" I nodded, still tearing up.

"Do you want something to eat?" Taylor asked. I suddenly perked up. "Yeah! I'll have some nachos and ketchup, please." Man, those were good! The girls had weird and disgusted looks on their faces, and Troy whispered, "Don't ask." I don't understand what's wrong with it, it's delicious! They must be crazy. "Are you sure you don't want something else?" Kelsi asked. Yep, they are officially CRAZY! I shook my head fast, telling them I was absolutely positive that's what I wanted.

After getting my yummy food and eating every last crumb, I finally noticed Troy had disappeared. I looked around frantically. "Where is he, where is he?" I continued to mutter. I felt like I was having a panic attack, and I probably was. And then, the stage lights shot on, and there's Troy in all his 'Seven minute' glory.

Yes, I realize that I'm holding that against him. Blah, blah, blah. I'm pregnant for goodness sake! What do you freaking expect! A tea party? Alright, alright. I'm calming down. But only because Troy's going to start talking.

"Um," he rubbed the back of his neck, "hi." This got a few laughs. "Could I get Gabriella Montez up here?" I looked around, silently hoping there was another 'Gabriella Montez' in the room. I pointed to myself, glancing at my friends with questioning eyes. They nodded. Great. There's obviously no other Gabriella Montez here. I walked up to the stage and took Troy's hand when he offered it. I squeezed it nervously and smiled when he squeezed back.

"Gabriella Montez, I love you. I can't even begin to describe how much you mean to me. But I know one way to prove to you just how much you do." He knelt down on one knee and I did what all girls do; I covered my mouth and smiled while tears came flowing gently down my face. He dug out a ring box, opened it, and held it out to me. "Will you marry me?" I nodded 'yes' because I was too happy to say anything. He carefully slipped the beautiful ring on and stood up to kiss me.

I didn't listen to the crowd cheering simply because I didn't care at that moment. And I could tell Troy was thinking the same thing. We were the only two people here in our minds. After we broke apart, much to my dismay, Troy smiled and spoke into the microphone again. "Are you having fun?" he asked. I let out a short laugh and answered, "I'm having a blast right now."

When we arrived back to the table, I was swarmed as everyone got a look at the ring situated on my left ring finger. Not long after, I was able to sit down next to Troy, with his arm comfortably draped over my shoulder, and relax as he dropped butterfly kisses all over my face. I was smiling the entire time. Troy has got to be the sweetest man I know and I love him.

When I glanced around the table, I noticed that Ryan, Zeke, Chad, and Jason were gone. They were most likely skating around. But what really got my attention was when I saw Sharpay, Taylor, and Kelsi smirk and say, "It's Love."

I swear I've heard that somewhere before…

Yay! They're getting married! They're getting married! Everyone do the happy dance! No. You don't have to. How was it? Did I do okay? I expect feedback!!

Now, important question:: I was thinking about changing the baby's name. Would that be okay with you? If it's not, I'm totally fine with leaving it as it is. So if you could, please choose between the name I already picked, McKenna Claire, or the new name, Lorelei Leigh.

Thanks for all your help! I'll start working on the next chapter asap. And check out my other stories and two of my best fanfiction friends' stories. HSMandChelseaFCfan (Luc) and xoxMusicalxox (Si, Musical). Their stories are fantastic!!
