Epilogue

The Bolton family:

Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez.

Daniel Bolton age 16.

Lily Bolton age 11.

Jack Bolton age 6.


Six years later and Gabriella and Troy had their family complete. When Gabriella told Troy about their last child, Jack, she had expected the worst. But she got something very unexpected. He got up and walked into the kitchen, which was something along the lines of what she was expecting. But then he ran back in with a pan and a wooden spoon and began beating it like a drum and dancing around the room.

Yes he was ecstatic about having another baby; something that they thought was never going to happen for them. But it was more stressful for the couple. First of all they had to cancel all the wedding plans that they had made so far. Troy was also very protective over Gabriella. As soon as she reached 3-months Troy made Gabriella work from home. He didn't want anything to happen to this baby and he was taking every precaution possible. Troy also did all the shopping and begged Gabriella not to drive. She gladly obliged even though it meant she was sat at home all day bored out of her mind. Luckily Taylor and the rest of girls visited when they could, and sometimes took her out shopping. Not telling Troy of course.

But everything went fine and nine months later she gave birth to a perfectly healthy little boy, they named him Jack after Troy's father.

After Jack was born they had both decided they didn't want any more children. It was too stressful and they were happy with what they had been blessed with. Six years passed and luckily they had no drama at all. They were a happy, and perfect little family…with one small exception. They had never gotten married. After Jack had been born it was something, which they had never gotten around to, and instead of saving up for a big wedding, they ended up spoiling their children with amazing holidays and piles of Christmas presents. At the time a wedding hadn't been all that important. But now Gabriella was starting to think that putting it off was one of the biggest mistakes of her life….


Gabriella's POV

I laid in bed in silently, listening to the gentle drip dropping of the rain outside the window. The cold hit my bare arms as I shifted to face the door. I did this most nights, waiting for Troy to come through them. I glanced at the clock, 2.30am. I let one soft tear fall gently down my cheeks. What was happening to us?

It had all started about two months ago. We had been perfect. The kids were happy and we were happy as a couple. Then he started staying back at work later than usual, sometimes he didn't come home until 7.30pm even though the school doors were locked by 5.30pm. He had sometimes disappeared on a Saturday. But he was never home on a Sunday. He would leave the house at 8am before anyone else stirred and return in the early hours of the next morning. That's what I was waiting for now…there had also been times when he hadn't even come home at all. He offered no explanation, no apology.

I was left to think the worst and I now feared that our relationship was coming to an end. I cursed myself every night. I always said marriage would make us closer but I never did anything about it. And now it was too late. My eyes shut tightly as I heard a key turn in the door downstairs. He was home. He never came home drunk, but this sometimes worried me more. What had he been up to?

His feet crept up the stairs and before I knew it he was laid in bed beside me. His arms wrapped tightly around my body. The same thing happened every time. The truth was I was far too scared to confront him. I had lost so many people that I was afraid of pushing anyone else away. I shut my eyes, hoping that it would make it all go away. But the next thing I knew it was morning. The kids were all at school…I had to get out of bed and be at work in one hour…and once again Troy was gone, without so much as a goodbye.

Each day passed slowly. Each day the same as the last. Troy and I barely said two words to each other in six whole days. Every night I lay in bed crying. All I could think of was him being in bed with someone else. Touching her. Kissing her. Showing her the love that I longed to have back. Whether or not this was true I didn't know. But I did know that me and Troy were moving apart, and I had to do something to stop it. I refused to have a broken family. I was not going to be a single parent no matter what.


No one's POV

Saturday came slowly. But even though everyone was at home, it didn't feel like Gabriella was having a break. She climbed out of her empty bed, thinking about the list of endless tasks she had to get through today. She walked into Daniel's room and found it empty. Lily wasn't in her room either. Little Jack was nowhere to be seen. Gabriella began to panic. Thoughts of Troy running away with a blonde and her children raced across her mind. She entered the kitchen and found a single rose laying on the table, next to a note.

Troy's sharp handwriting stood out like a sore thumb. She read the words carefully, wondering if it was supposed to be some sort of code.

Gabriella,

Go to my parent's house as soon as possible.

Leave the car on their driveway and go upstairs and into my mother's bedroom.

Do not go anywhere else!!

Troy

The note was vague, confusing and didn't make that much sense to the Spanish beauty. But nonetheless she threw on some random clothes, before stepping into her car and driving over to his parent's house. She could hear a few voices from the back gate but followed Troy's orders and made her way upstairs without so much as a glance outside.

Once she was in the room she found another rose on the bed, accompanied by another note. She sat down on the edge of the bed, unfolding the paper to, once again, reveal the handwriting of her fiancée.

Brie,

We have been putting it off for far too long now.

Hopefully this will explain those late nights and my stranger than usual behaviour.

I cannot tell you any of this in person because it is considered bad luck.

Gabriella, we are getting married in my parents garden…TODAY!

I love you and I don't want to wait for this anymore.

My mum, the girls and Lily helped to pick you out a dress (don't worry I haven't seen it!)

If you love me as much as I love you then I will meet you under the arch 2 hours from now.

Love Troy

Xxx

PS – all the girls and my mother will be waiting outside the door right now so you might want to let them in!!

Gabriella opened the bedroom door and there they were. Her friends, future mother-in-law and daughter, eagerly waiting her to allow them in. All wanting to know whether she would go through with Troy's crazy idea.

She watched their eager faces and she couldn't prevent the grin that was rapidly spreading across her own face. Screams and shouts were suddenly bouncing around the walls of the house as all the females rushed into one room, to get the bride ready for her big day!

Troy stood under the white wooden archway at the bottom of his parent's garden. He checked his watch for the hundredth time, telling him once again that Gabriella was five minutes late. As each second passed by he began to shake. His knees felt weak, his throat was dry, his chest tight. What if she said no? There was over a hundred people sat in front of him and it would be bad enough if they didn't to marry today, but he would also be humiliated in front of everyone. He closed his eyes tight, hoping that maybe he was dreaming and he hadn't been stupid enough to come up with this idea in the first place.

They quickly snapped open when soft music began playing. There she was. Looking even more beautiful than the first time he had saw her all those years ago. She was wearing a white dress with a silver stitched pattern across the top. The bottom half went out into a flowing skirt. Her now short brown hair was let loose and her natural waves framed her face as if it was a picture. Troy was so mesmerized by her beauty that he hadn't noticed that she had already walked towards him and they were now stood so close they could have been one person. And then it began….

(NOT GOING TO GO INTO DETAILS ABOUT CEREMONY BECAUSE YOU ALL KNOW HOW THEY GO!! LOL)

After the ceremony had finished all the men transformed the garden into a huge gazebo and soon enough everyone was dancing, eating, chatting and just having an all round good time. Troy and Gabriella had been inseparable. At one point she thought she was dreaming, but the smile and looks Troy gave her told her that even if it was a dream, it wasn't one that she wanted to wake up from any time soon.

The night finally came to an end. It had been a long day filled with several different types of emotion, but everyone was happy and looking forward to the days ahead. Troy had even booked a honeymoon so the two of them could spend a week away together in Hawaii. The children were going to stay with Chad and Taylor.

Gabriella wandered over to where Troy was sat on a chair. Looking out at the empty bottles and plates that were left behind. They were going to a hotel in a little bit and then straight on their honeymoon. Troy stood up and wrapped his arms around his waist.

"You know what Troy. Maybe we do have the perfect life." Gabriella whispered….


Yehh I know that was a bit naff at the end but I wanted to finish it because I've already started my new one.

I couldn't think of how else to end it but hopefully the next story will be better.

Its called 'do we really know best' and its about meeting up with people that you talk to online.

It includes all the hsm characters but no troyella love

but troy is going to be like the hero/ big brother

by the end i might turn it into a troyella!

love
