Chapter 1 - The Secret Revealed

It had been 6 months since the gang graduated and moved back to Albuquerque. Troy and Gabriella had moved straight into their new home, Taylor and Chad were living with the Danforth's, Zeke and Sharpay with the Evan's in their mansion with Ryan and Annabelle, while Jason and Kelsi had too brought their own house after saving up. Michael, Christian (Chris is what I will call him) and Alexia were all around 18months now and very happy and active children. Everyone was now gathered at the Bolton's on a Saturday afternoon just relaxing.

"Mrs Bolton what are you doing?" Troy Bolton asked coming up behind his wife of just under a year, Gabriella Bolton.

"I'm getting the twins food ready why?" Gabriella answered as Troy took her hands away from the sandwiches she was making as one of her best friends, Taylor Mckessie took over.

"You should be resting. I thought I told you all of us would look after them. Now sit there and look pretty." Troy told her kissing her on the lips before going to find the twins.

"He's right Gabi you have to be careful because we don't want anything like what happened the other week to happen again." Taylor warned her.

"Taylor it was one time. I forgot but I promise I won't let it happen again. I learnt my lesson and after the lecture I got from Troy, Jack and the rest of the guys after because of it is enough for me to make sure it doesn't happen. I'm not completely irresponsible. Why won't you guys let me do anything? " Gabriella whined as Taylor shook her head at her best friend. A few weeks ago Gabriella had passed out due to her condition and had become very dehydrated.

"Gabriella when everything is over and everyone is safe and well then you will be allowed to do anything you want again, but for now you have to rest for the next few weeks to save all your energy." Taylor strictly told her.

"Fine. I'll just sit here and let my life pass me by." Taylor rolled her eyes at Gabriella's dramatic sigh.

"Troy!" Taylor called.

"What's she done this time?" Troy asked her walking back into the kitchen with amusement in his voice looking at Gabriella pout at him.

"She needs entertaining in some way." Taylor told her as Troy shook his head.

"Fine come on." Troy went over and picked her up, struggling, as Gabriella squealed. Troy carried her outside to where everyone else was. "I have a moaning wife who needs entertaining. Any volunteers?" Sharpay immediately was by Gabriella where Troy had sat her down. Gabriella rolled her eyes at Troy who laughed and walked off leaving Gabriella with Sharpay. Sharpay had barely left Gabriella's side whenever she was around or she was always with the twins. Sharpay had become very attached to the twins and between Gabriella and Troy they knew the twins had their favourite Aunt and Uncle. Sharpay and Chad.

"So when did you say I can kill Troy?" Sharpay asked.

"Sharpay you aren't going to kill Troy just because he got me pregnant again." Gabriella told her. Yep that's right Gabriella was 7 months pregnant with their 3rd Child. Yeah the pregnancy was a shock just like it had been with the twins but everyone was happy about it. Even Jack and Lisa who were to say the least surprised but ecstatic at the thought of getting another grandchild.

Everyone was really busy at the moment in some way, Sharpay and Zeke, Ryan and Annabelle and Taylor and Chad were all planning their weddings, Gabriella and Troy obviously preparing for the new baby as well as looking after the twins and Kelsi and Jason looking after Michael. Troy and Gabriella had been spending a lot of time with Jack and Lisa as Gabriella couldn't really look after the twins on her own, so the two often helped out. Jack had retired as coach of the wildcats at the end of last year and Troy and Chad had taken over. Ryan and Sharpay had taken over control of the two country clubs their family owned, Jason made manager of the one in Albuquerque Sharpay owned. Zeke was opening a bakery where Kelsi would help out when she could while also being able to look after Mike (Gonna start calling him Mike rather than Michael). Taylor was the only other one going back to East High to teach Science. Gabriella would stay at home looking after the twins and when the time came the new baby while Annabelle too wouldn't work since her parents were very rich too.

The rest of the day the gang just hung out and relaxed after having worked all week. Not one of them had any idea as to what was in store for them now they were finally out in the real world.


A/N: So what did you think? Awful? I'm not entirely happy with this chapter but hopefully as I get more into the story it will become better and chapters will get longer. I will try and update asap! Please review! Thanks!

PS A lot of people have been reviewing 'Older Guy' recently saying they would love me to do a sequel but because I won't be doing a sequel I'm going to write a two shot basically summing up the whole story and adding other bits to it for after the epilogue. I just want to know whether if I do it people would read it because if not I won't bother writing it. Please review and let me now. Thanks!
