Before I even knew it prom passed and graduation day came. It felt like spring was on fast forward and I was just lost in time. Today I was graduating high school. As I got ready for the ceremony I reflected on this year. I've changed so much since this time last year. I feel so much healthier since I quit smoking and partying. I pulled all my sinking grades up.

During the middle of the year when Troy and I took a break I had our college talk with our guidance councilor. She encouraged me to apply to schools all over the US: Harvard, Brown, Yale, Duke, Stanford, UCLA, CAL Berkeley, Arizona State, U of A and so many more. I got accepted into most of them… well all of them. My parents were more than thrilled when we opened all my letters together- My mom took a day off just to do it and it was nice.

Of course I wanted to talk to Troy about it first, so we did. He was debating about going to Kentucky, U of A, Berkeley, and Duke. Since we won the state basketball championships everyone wanted him. He wanted to stay close to home for his mom, Kentucky and Duke had great basketball programs but he wanted to be in California. He always talked about going to California, living close to the beach, going whenever he wanted. Even though Berkeley wasn't necessarily close to the beach, it was close enough.

He hadn't told me where he was going and I didn't tell him where I decided to go. We were going to tell each other tonight and no matter where we were going to go we would make it work.

I put half of my hair up, clipping it in a barrette. My make up was finished and I was ready to go. I had my cap and gown on a hanger, ready to be put on. I grabbed my hanger and slid my phone into the pocket of my dress. I walked down stairs and my parents were waiting for me at the door. We got into the car and I sat quietly in the back seat. I was excited I didn't have anymore high school.

"So where are you going to sit?" Dad asked me again for the 3rd time today.

"Home side. 5th row." I explained again. "I'll meet you guys to the left of the stage okay?"

My mother looked back at me and smiled. "We're so proud of you Gabriella. You've matured so well, you've made some not so good decisions for yourself but you turned it around. I'm sorry I was working a lot and I couldn't be there for you like your dad was but I love you so much." She gushed, looking back at me. I could see the tears well up in her eyes.

"I love you too mom." I said looking at her. "I know you were doing the best you could for us."

She smiled at me again. "What are you doing tonight?"

"My friend Sharpay is having a party. I was probably just going to go with that." I said, leaning back against the seat. It felt weird sitting in the backseat of the car. "I think Troy is going to pick me up or I'll hang out with him for a little while."

"Oh, alright then." She turned to face the front as we pulled into the East High parking lot. Once we parked I climbed out of the car. My mom hugged me tightly and kissed my cheek. "We'll see you out there okay? I love you."

"Love you too mom." I squeezed her tightly then wrapped my arms around my dad. He kissed the top of my head and smiled at me. He didn't need any words. "I love you daddy."

"Love you too Baby girl." He squeezed my shoulder gently. "See you later."

I smiled at him and I walked away from them toward the gym. As I approached the I saw a blonde girl in a pink dress rushing over to me. "GABI!" Sharpay squealed. She wrapped her arms around me. "We're graduating! Aren't you so excited? I'm so excited! Look! I bedazzled my cap!" She showed me her cap that was indeed bedazzled.

"I am excited actually. More for your party than the ceremony. I don't know why they didn't have it inside in the air conditioning." I said, hugging her back and pulling away.

"So did you tell him where you're going yet?" She asked me, holding her gown close to her chest.

I shook my head. "Nope. We're waiting until tonight." She looked at me like I was crazy. "What? I don't know where he's going either."

She shook her head at me. "You guys are so weird. Come on, let's go inside." I laughed to myself as she pulled me inside. I felt two arms wrap around my waist. Sharpay turned around to see why I stopped walking. She smiled at me. "I guess I'll see you later Gabi."

"Bye Pay." I turned around to face Troy. "Hello handsome." I stood on my tip toes and kissed his lips. "I like your hair like that." I reached up to smooth back his hair. He smiled at me and kissed my lips grimly.

"I missed you." He whispered against my lips.

I giggled quietly. "You saw me last night."

"I know but still, I miss you when I'm not with you." I rested my head against his chest. "And you look absolutely beautiful right now. I can't wait to take that dress off later."

I smacked his chest. "Troy!" I giggled quietly, covering my red cheeks.

We got called into our lines and put my gown on and pulled my cap on, securing it with a couple of extra bobby pins I had. We walked out on the field I wore thick heels so they didn't get stuck in the turf. I could hear Sharpay getting frustrated in front of me. I laughed quietly to myself. Once we were seated the ceremony started. Taylor stood up, she was the class valedictorian, she only beat me by a 5th of a point somewhere in our GPA.

We still hung out, she and Chad still partied often but we loved them. They were there when nobody else was. I sat up in my seat. It was hot and Taylor was going on about the lessons we'd learned in high school. I saw the back of my boyfriends head and he turned around to look at me. His blue eyes sparkled from across the field. I blew him a kiss. He smiled widely before facing the front.

After we collected our diplomas, we were cheering so loudly we couldn't even let Principal Matsui say the closing statements. The guys threw their caps up in the air. I would've but mine was pinned to my head. We got up and I made my way through the crowd, looking for Troy. I was caught in the midst of red and white gowns. I was about to reach the left side of the stage when two arms wrapped around me.

Troy turned me around in his arms and he leaned down and kissed my lips firmly. I licked my lips. "Stanford." I muttered against his lips. He pulled away from me.

"What was that?" He asked pulling away from me.

"I'm going to Stanford." I said, looking up at him. A smile broke out on his face and he released his hands from me. He unzipped his gown and I watched him, confused. He started un-buttoning his shirt. "What are you doing?" I asked him.

He opened his shirt and there was a grey CAL tank top under it. "I'm going to Berkeley." I smiled brightly at him and jumped into his arms, covering my lips with his. I flicked my tongue out to deepen the kiss but I heard somebody clear their throat. Troy almost dropped me when he flinched. I bit my own tongue and cussed to myself.

Once I steadied myself on the floor I looked over to see our parents standing there smirking. I bite my bottom lip and smiled innocently. "We did it!" I yelled wrapping my arms around my parents. My dad laughed at me, squeezing me.

"We're so proud of you baby." My mother cooed. She kissed my forehead, hugging me tightly. I smiled up at her.

"Thanks mama." I pulled away from her and held up my diploma. She took a picture of me. I saw Troy doing the same thing and I wrapped my arms around him from behind. I heard Troy laughing. I stood next to him and he smiled down at me. "Hey Lucy, Hey Jack." I gave them a smile.

"Hey Gabi!" Lucy said, rushing over to give me a hug. "We're so proud of you guys! Look at you both! You're all grown up now." She looked like she was about to cry. "We just love you guys so much."

"I love you guys too." I squeezed her gently. "Thank you for everything these past couple years Lucy."

She smiled at me, smoothing a piece of my hair back. "You're so welcome Gabi."

Jack came over and gave me a hug too. "Thank you for taking care of him." He said quietly.

"No problem." I said smiling up at him.

We talked for a little bit while we took pictures. I went with my parents back home. I hung up my cap and gown. I changed into something more comfortable and heard Troy down stairs. I ran downstairs and wrapped my arms around him as he talked to my dad. "Hey," He said, kissing my cheek. "Ready to go?"

"Yeah, I'm ready." I smiled at him. "I don't know when I'll be home. I'll see you guys tomorrow."

My mom smiled at us. "Alright, be safe guys."

"Bye, Mr. and Mrs. Montez." Troy said as he lead me out of the door. Once we got to his car I kissed his lips gently and climbed in. He closed the door behind me and got in as well. We started driving across town toward Sharpay's house. We parked along the long driveway of her mansion. I sat back as Troy cut the engine. "At the beginning of the year, I never imagined in a million years we'd be going to the huge graduation party at the Evans' mansion. And that you and her are actually friends." Troy said, looking forward.

I nodded, understanding where he was coming from. "I would have called you a god damn liar if you told me I was going to be friends with Sharpay. Its funny actually. We hated each other for years for you then for nothing." I turned to look at Troy who was still looking ahead of us. "I've changed for the better don't you think?"

Troy turned his attention to me and nodded. "I agree." He planted a soft kiss on my lips. "I love you babe."

"I love you too." I said, giving him a soft smile.

San Francisco- 12 years later.

"Baby, I'm home" Troy Bolton, My husband of eight years said as he walked through the door.

After high school we went off to college. Troy played Basketball for his four years at Berkeley, but he got a great position working for the Golden State Warriors. He wasn't playing, he worked in the business part of the company and he got to see as many basketball games as he wanted to. As for me, I decided I wanted to be a nurse, so I started getting my degree. The Coach store back in Albuquerque highly recommended me to the store in San Francisco so I continued my training and I became a manager. A big boss came in one day and was very please how I handled juggling a managerial position and an ivy-league education so she offered me a small position at the Coach headquarters of the west coast.

I worked my way up and now I'm the VP of the marketing department with a nursing degree and a minor in business marketing. I work part-time at a planned parenthood to help out if they were understaffed. After we graduated we bought a house in the city, We were literally 10 minutes away from the beach and Troy was ecstatic.

"Daddy!" Our little blue-eyed 6 year old ran over to him. Troy crouched down and picked up our son throwing him in the air. Andrew giggled and wrapped his arms tightly around his fathers neck. "I missed you daddy."

"I missed you too Andy, how was school today?" He asked our son.

Andy smiled, looking up at his father. "It was fun, at recess I played with Shane and Mikey and Peyton." His little cheeks flushed at the last name that tumbled out of his mouth. "Peyton was talking about her dog coco. She said it was a pit bull and everybody doesn't like them cause they think they're mean, but they're not really mean. they're nice."

Troy chuckled at his son and he rubbed his hand against the boys dark shaggy hair. "Kind of like your mom in high school."

I scoffed at him, resting my hand on my baby bump. I was on pregnancy number three now. Our second son Alexander was already asleep. He was three and a ball of energy, I took him to the park and burned him out. I was on maternity leave, about to pop any minute now. We were finally having our little girl who was bound to be just like me since our first two were replicas of their father. "I resent that!" I said stuffing a piece of bread in my mouth.

Troy laughed and picked up Andy, kissing his cheek gently. "Let's get you to bed buddy."

"Okay." Andy wiggled out of his arms. "Goodnight mommy." I leaned down to kiss my son's head. "Goodnight sissy." He kissed my stomach gently. He ran over to Troy. "Okay, ready to go." I watched Troy take our son upstairs.

I grabbed his jacket and put it in the closet by the door. I walked into the kitchen and warmed up my husband's dinner. I leaned up against the counter and rubbed my belly slowly. I felt my phone vibrating in my pocket and I pulled it out. 'my niece here yet?' Sharpay texted me.

I smiled to myself. Sharpay and I stayed friends after high school. She lived in New York but came often because she owned 'SE' by Sharpay Evans. Her own boutique, she had three shops now. One in San Francisco, one in New York and one in Los Angeles. She was a bridesmaid at my wedding and she was there when both of my sons were born. She was an amazing friend and I don't know where I'd be if I didn't have her.

'She's still cooking.' I texted back. I looked at the time. It was 8:30 here so it must've been close to midnight there. Shar was always a night owl though. I heard footsteps coming down the stairs just as the microwave beeped. I pulled the plate out of the microwave and set it on the island to cool off.

"Hey baby." Troy greeted me, wrapping his arms around my waist. He leaned down to kiss my lips gently. "How are my girls?" He rubbed my bump slowly.

I smiled at him. "We are good. She's just kicking away in there, especially with her daddy near." I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him back down to kiss his lips firmly. "Mmm, we missed you."

He attacked my lips with kisses and his lips trailed down my neck gently. "Something smells good." Troy got distracted and looked behind me at the food. "Mmm, my favorite." He kissed my shoulder gently. "Thanks for dinner baby."

"All in a day's work." I winked at him, rubbing my belly slowly. "Eat, I'm going to check on the boys then take a shower."

Troy was two steps ahead of me with a forkful of food in his mouth. I smiled at him, amused as I watched him chew then swallow. "I'll meet you in bed."

I giggled quietly and walked away from him. I walked up the stairs and stopped in Andrew's room first. He was already fast asleep. I turned his nightlight on and turned of the little TV in his room. I left a crack in the door and went to Alexander's room. He was passed out on his 'big boy bed' in the same position I last saw him in. I left a crack in his door as well. I walked across the hall into the room next to the master.

The room was painted light pink with a black trim along the middle. Once we found out it was a girl, Troy surprised me with the decorated room. It was perfect, absolutely perfect. I added my own touches here and there. We decided on a name for our girl, Autumn. We were sticking with the A names. "Soon baby girl, soon." I whispered to my bump and closed the door as I walked out.

I cleaned up some of Troy's carelessly thrown dirty clothes he left around our room. I put them in the hamper and shed my own clothes as I turned on the shower. I put my clothes in my hamper and stepped in the warm water. I let the water run down my back, I leaned my head back to dampen all of my hair. I stood up straight and opened my eyes to see Troy climb in the shower with me. I smiled widely at him and he kissed my lips firmly.

As the week progressed I started having contractions, they were just minor ones. I called around to let everybody know it was going to be soon. It was Friday now and I had to pick up Andy from school. Alex had pre-school in the morning so he was already with me. Alex loved when we picked up his big brother up. "Where's Andy?" Alex asked from the backseat.

"We're going to pick him up baby." I said as I parked the car. "We're going to go get him now." I turned the car off and got out. I put the key's in my purse and climbed out of the SUV. I walked over to Alex's side and he had himself unbuckled. I helped him out, closing the door behind him.

"Mommy can you carry me?" Alex asked me, pulling on my pant leg.

I shook my head. "Mommy can't carry you baby. You're a big boy, you'll squish your sister." I held out my hand. "Hold my hand though baby."

"I not a baby." He said, looking up at me with his blue eyes. He and his brother had the same blue eyes but Alex had curly hair and Andrew had shaggy hair like Troy. He took my hand and we walked to Alex's classroom. We waited outside for Andy's class to get out. The bell rang and a whole bunch of 6 year olds rushed out of the classroom. "ANDY!" Alex yelled to his brother.

Andy found us and ran over. "Hi mommy, hi Alex, hi sister." He looked up at me with a big smile on his face. "I got a gold star today because I helped Peyton clean up when she accidentally spilled her pencil case."

I smiled at my son. "Good job baby, I'm so proud of you." I smoothed down the back of his shaggy hair. I saw Andrew's teacher walk out of the room, I caught her gaze and she walked over. "Hi miss Lily."

"Still going Mrs. Bolton? I would've demanded I stayed on bed rest" She joked looking down at my belly.

I smiled at her. "I'm starting to contract but I feel fine. My back hurts sometimes and I don't even know what my feet look like but I feel good. I like being active. Somebody has to run after these guys." I said, putting my hand on my sons heads. Alex was wrapped around my leg, being shy.

"If you ever need anything, I'll be happy to help." She said smiling.

"Thank you Miss Lily, I'm sure there will be days when I need all the help I can get." I smiled at her. "I might see you tomorrow. With her, you never know." I said placing a hand on my belly. "Alright boys say bye to Miss Lily."

"Bye Miss Lily" The boy's said in unison. They each grabbed one of my hands and we walked to the SUV. They got in their car seats and strapped in.

I lifted my leg up to get in the SUV and I felt water run down my leg. "Fuck." I cursed myself. I looked down and was so glad I wore dark jeans today. I rushed to the back and grabbed a towel. I put it on the seat before sitting down.

"Mommy, you said a bad word" Andy reminded me from the backseat.

I let out a frustrated breath. "I know baby. I'm sorry." I dialed Troy's number and put it on speaker phone as I drove towards home.

"Hello?" Troy answered.

"Hi babe, we have a problem." I said, pressing the gas a little bit faster. I felt another little rush of water run down my leg as the baby wiggled a little bit.

"What's the matter babe?" Troy asked.

I licked my lips. "Well I just picked up Andy from school and my water just broke." I said calmly. "I think I'm going to take the boys to day care and stop at home to take a shower."

"You should get to the hospital babe." He said worriedly.

"Troy. When Alex's water broke I was in labor for 24 hours. I have some time." I said, rolling my eyes. "Please call somebody to fly down here cause day care is only open until 7:30. I still have to call them."

"Well go call them and I'll call my mom to fly down here, alright?" He said. "I love you, be careful."

"I love you too, bye." I hung up the phone and saw Alex and Andy sleeping. I sighed. I called their day care and told them what was going on. I got to the day care and there was somebody waiting out there for me.

"Hey Gabi." Miss Helen greeted as she approached my car. "How are you feeling?"

I gave her a small smile. "I'm alright right now. I would get out and help but I look like I just pissed myself, so I'll save myself the embarrassment. Thank you for this. I don't know who is going to pick them up. I'm stressing out right now but I guess babies have minds of their own."

"Don't worry about it, I'll stay as long as you need Gabi. You're boys are very well behaved and I know how Troy's job is. Just have Troy give me a call to give me an update." Miss Helen said smiling.

"Thank you so much." I said. "I'm going to go have a baby now."

She laughed. "Go ahead."

I drove away as she carried the boy into the day care. I drove home quickly and cleaned up the seat before getting in the shower. I was surprisingly calm for being in labor. I was terrified to give birth, I've done it twice but it's still scary. My mind drifted back to high school when I had my pregnancy scare. I thought that was scary, that was nothing compared to giving birth. I felt a shooting pain across my stomach, I held onto the bar in the shower until the pain started to subside.

I got out and changed into something more comfortable. I grabbed our packed hospital bags and got in the SUV. I drove down to the hospital and checked myself in. I was assigned a room and checked out. I was only 3 cm dilated. I'd been there for a little under two hours and I saw Lucy walk in my room. "Lucy?" I asked, looking over at her.

She smiled at me. "I was just checking up on you before I got get the boys. How are you feeling?"

"I feel fine, The contractions are started to get rough but I'm fine." I smiled up at her. "Can you give my boys a big hug for me? I miss them already."

She laughed, quietly. "I will, and I need your keys."

I pulled my keys out of my purse and handed them to her. "Don't worry, I cleaned the amniotic fluid off of the seat." Lucy just laughed and shook her head. I saw Troy standing in the door way, he made a face at me. "What are you looking at? You did this." I said pointing to my belly.

Lucy left and Troy walked over to me. He was dressed comfortably, he must have went home. "You look hot pregnant." He shrugged. I rolled my eyes at him. He leaned down and kissed my lips firmly. "How do you feel?"

"Fine, I'm a little tired." I yawned on cue. "Did you call my parents?"

"I called everyone important. I called day care to tell them mom was picking the boys up. I'll be working from home for the next couple weeks." He took a seat next to me and laid his head against me. "I'm excited to see my little girl."

I smiled at him, playing with his hair. "Me too." He kissed every part of my neck he could reach. "I thought about my pregnancy scare today and high school."

"Reminiscing?" He asked, kissing my arm. I nodded. "Why were you thinking about that?"

I shrugged. "I'm scared of giving birth, I know it hurts and I don't know. I'm just scared. It reminded me when I thought I was pregnant and I was terrified but it was nothing compared to giving birth."

"You can't really compare them." Troy said quietly. "Back then we were in high school, having our whole life ahead of us, but now we are married, have stable careers, with two kids already." His fingers trailed down my arm slowly. "now I love you more than I ever did in high school."

I laughed at him. "Look at you, being all corny. I love it." I lifted his chin up and kissed his lips gently.

After 17 hours of labor, I finally gave birth to our little girl. Autumn. She was tiny, with skin like her daddy but with a face like mine. She had thick black curls on the top of her head. She was gorgeous. Troy was checking on the boys and I was holding my daughter. I stared down at her and smiled. I couldn't keep my eyes off her. I felt tears well up in my eyes. My family was now complete and perfect.
