Gabriella woke up the next morning to find Troy still asleep. Gabriella smiled softly and looked at her phone on the bed side of the counter. she had 30 missed calls, 20 text messages, and 10 voicemails, all from Taylor. she bit her lip, looking back at Troy, then looking at the phone, she opened up the last text, "I'll be at your house around 11, we need to talk." Gabriella looked at the time and saw that it was 10:59.

She sighed and got up and threw one a grey long sleeve T-Shirt, with short blue jeans and walked downstairs. there was a knock on the door and she opened the door to find Taylor. "Geez, when you say you're going to be here at 11, you really mean it." she crossed her arms. He sighed, "Brie.. I..I'm sorry for everything.." Gabriella sighed, "Taylor, It's over, okay-" "No..listen, I..I'm crazy about you Gabs..and I want another chance...Gabs, please, listen, I missed up big time with you and with the other girl."

Gabriella bit her lip, "what happened with her?" Taylor looked at her, "She's...She's pregnant." Gabriella looked at him, just standing there, and backing a way, "Gabs please-" she ran out the other door and he ran after her, "Gabi!" she had tears in her eyes, and she ran out side and then tried to run down the stairs but tripped and fell down them.

Taylor stopped, "Gabs?" she sat up on her elbows, and she whimpered "Get away from me!" she screamed. he came closer, "Gabi, I don't wanna do what I might have to do.." she looked up at him, and he got out a shot-gun, and came over to her lifting her up and tracing her face with it, "I'm just going to have to kill soldier boy." Gabriella's eyes went wide, "No!" she tried to grab it from him, but then it shot up in the air.

In the house, the distant sound of a gun firing shook Troy awake. his heart pumping awake, "No..." he whispered, sitting up from the bed. He wasn't in Gabriella's room any longer. He saw the barracks, then the scene flashed to him in a dug out with dying soldiers that are too stubborn to be admitted to the infirmary. He gulped, he heard distant screaming; women and children.

Bombs going off around him, he didn't want to be back here. He had enough war. "Troy!" he gulped, her scream itself sounded distant, getting out of bed, he fumbled with his boxers (forgetting his jeans) and putting on his shirt. He needed to get out of here, he didn't want to be attacked; not after the blissful night they just had. The night they shared together.

Gabriella was trying to get the gun from him that was thrown across the floor. she was crawling towards it but he grabbed her by the waist, "I don't think so." Gabriella whimpered, "Stop it! Stop! Troy!" Soon Taylor released her and was attacked by Troy and they were flinged down the stairs and rolled on the ground. "Troy!" she screamed running down the stairs carefully.

Her parents pulling up. she ran towards them, "Mom! Dad! you need to help Troy." she had tears rolling down her cheeks. Timothy got out of the car, her mother held her close, Timothy pulled Troy off of Taylor and glared at him, "Get out of here Taylor, and don't come near my daughter again! and you don't touch this boy, you don't touch my son, or you have me to deal with."

Taylor glared at him, and glared at Troy and began walking around the house to get into his beaten up pick up truck. Troy turned to Gabriella, "Brie-" she ran towards him, hugging him tightly, "Troy!" she cried into his shoulder, he held her close, "are you alright?" she nodded, "I'm fine." her mother and father smiled, "We'll be inside if you need us."

Gabriella smiled, "thanks dad." they walked inside. Gabriella touched his cheek, and smiled, and kissed his lips, and kept pecking his lips. he smiled leaning his forehead on hers, "what was he here for?" Gabriella sighed holding his hands, "Troy..something happened." he looked at her, "what is it?" Gabriella sighed, "The other girl he was cheating one me with...she's pregnant."

Troy's eyes went wide, "S-She's pregnant?" Gabriella nodded, "I know I shouldn't be upset about it, but I can't help that I am..." he grabbed her shoulders, "Brie, you just had a broken engagement...I don't think you should be happy.."

Gabriella sighed, "I..I just wanted a family you know...have a husband, have a kid or two..and just have the happy fairytale ending I always wanted ever since I was little.."

"Brie," Troy said, pulling her close and rubbed her back gently. She shook, from the sobs that came out of her mouth."It will be all right, I swear to you."

Gabriella sniffled, shaking her head into his chest. "No..." she sobbed, "No it-it won't be...cause I'll never get married, never have kids or-or...or a husband. Or my happy fairytale ending."

Troy shook his head, and crashed his lips onto hers, "You will I promise you that." she sniffled, "How do you know?" he looked at her for a second, and got down on one knee. Gabriella looked at him, "T-Troy."

He smiled, "Marry me? and I don't mean like when we were 6 years old, and we got married then we went our separate ways home.. I mean marry me, and we'll move in together, and I'll give you a baby... I'll make you happy, I won't cheat on you ever cause you are enough for me.."

She smiled, "You want to be with me forever?" he smiled, "Forever isn't even long enough.." Gabriella kissed his lips, "I love you Troy Bolton.. and Yes I'll marry you.." she had tears brimming in her eyes.

Troy wrapped his arms around her waist, picking her up and spinning her in a circle. She giggled like mad as she buried her face in his shoulder. He laughed loudly, when he stopped he set her on her feet and kissed her passionately and gently at the same time;

The kiss was short lived...because of the cheering coming from the porch. Troy and Gabriella broke apart but their hands are still together. "YAY!" Gabriella's mother screamed, "There will be a wedding next month!"

Gabriella giggled and kept her arms wrapped around his neck, and he was looking at her parents smiling and she turned his face around to face her and she kissed him softly and he placed his hands on her waist.

She pulled away leaning her forehead on hers gently, she giggled as he put a strain of hair behind her ear, she giggled, and kissed him once more.

**Run**

1 Month Later.

Troy was at the alter, and Gabriella and his family and friends were there. he looked up and saw baby pictures and childhood pictures of him and Gabriella growing up. he smiled, and turned around as people stood up and Timothy had her arm locked with his, and Stella walking behind her holding flowers and walking down the isle.

Gabriella held the bouqet of flowers in her left hand, and her father brought her closer and Stella walked towards troy and hugged him. he hugged back smiling, and looked at Gabriella. she smiled, and her father kissed her forehead, and let her walk to Troy and take his hand. Timothy smiled, "Take care of her Troy.. she's special.."

"Always. She is to me, Sir." Troy said, taking her hand in his and pulling her the rest of the way up because he wanted to see her eyes. Gabriella had a heated blush rising in her cheeks. "I love you" he mouthed, she smiled hugely, "I love you too." she mouthed back as the priest starts his monologue.

Troy's mother and Gabriella's mother had tears in their eyes, and smiled at each other. Gabriella smiled at Troy, tears rolling down her cheeks, he wiped them away with his thumb, "Don't cry..it's your wedding day." she giggled lightly, "I'm just..so happy." he held her hand, and they turned towards the preacher. "Troy, do you take Gabriella to be your wife, for richer or poorer, for sickness and in health, for as long as you both shall live?" he smiled, "I do."

She smiled, and the preacher continued, "Gabriella, do you take Troy to be your husband, for richer or poorer, for sickness and in health, for as long as you both shall live?" Gabriella took a deep breath, and sniffled, and whispered, "I do..I really do."

She looked down at their hands. he smiled, "I may pronounce you Mr and Mrs Bolton.. Troy, you may kiss your bride." Troy smiled, pulling her close by the waist and kiss her passionately. Their friends and families were clapping and cheering and Gabriella cupped his cheeks, "I love you." he smiled, "I love you too."

1 Year Later

Troy and Gabriella sat in the backyard sitting on the hamock. Gabriella held her precious little girl named Emma Renee Bolton. Troy came over to her and sat down beside her. she smiled, "Guess what your little girl just said Troy." he smiled down at his wife, then down at his 1 year old daughter, "what did she say brie?" he chuckled. Gabriella smiled, "Emma, tell daddy what you said." Emma giggled, "Da Da."

"Really..." Troy said, cooing at his daughter. Gabriella giggled, "I'm going to make some lunch." "Okay..hey," he said, holding Emma with his left arm and grabbing her wrist with his right hand. She smiled, he smirked. "Come on, come here..." she leaned down, he kissed her lips softly, then he deepened it slightly.

Only the fussing of Emma in his left arm made him pull away. Gabriella giggled, "Daddy..you better watch out; the sandwich monster's coming.." Troy chuckled, "then the cookie monster." Emma giggled.

Emma stood up on Troy's lap. Troy held her up, and she giggled grabbing a hold of his nose, "Da Da." he smiled kissing her nose, and holding her in his lap, and wrapping his arms around the small little girl.

Gabriella smiled softly, sitting beside them, and propping her legs beside her, he wrapped his arms around her, "how did I get so lucky?" Gabriella smiled, "I was just asking myself the same thing." he smiled kissing her lips, "I love you Gabriella." she smiled, "I love you to Troy. Always Have, Always Will."
