David looked at his daughter in utter shock. He was looking and slightly hoping she was just joking, but after showing no sign of joking he croaked out one word.

"What?"

Troy gulped nervously and gripped Gabriella's hand "We uh... We're married, me and Gabriella are married, she's Gabriella Bolton" David's eyes moved directly towards Troy and gave him a very serious look.

"When?" He asked Troy and Troy looked at Gabriella and smiled.

"The day before Tyler was born, just as we left the church, Gabriella's waters broke, and then the early hours of the next morning, we were holding Tyler" Troy told him and smiled as he watched Tyler looking at all the toys he had been given.

David started pacing slightly "So you got married at 15?" Gabriella nodded her head.

"Dad, are you mad?" She asked him, afraid of what his answer could be, she put her head down and waited.

Shaking his head he looked over towards her "Mad? No Shocked? Yeah. My only daughter got married, I didn't have one of those speeches with Troy about what his intentions are with you, I never walked you down the isle. I never gave Troy my approval-"

"Actually you did" Troy said, interrupting the moment "I asked you before we left if I would ever get your blessing and you said yes. I remember it clearly" David frowned at Troy, which made Troy sigh "Listen. I know this isn't what you expected, but it is obvious I love Gabriella, so much, and I know I can say I honestly know how you feel. Heck Emily isn't even dating until she is 25 let alone be married, but please don't me mad or upset at Gabriella"

Gabriella shot Troy a look "25? Yeah right, she can date younger, you go me pregnant at 14!" She accused making Troy hold his hands up in defence.

"Hey! That's different. When we did that although we were best friends i knew I was in love with you. My Princess isn't falling in love until 25" Troy told her and grinned thinking he had won.

Gabriella smirked "What will happen if Emily has a boy best friend like you?" Troy frowned.

"Me and him will be having some serious talks" Troy stated ending the conversation and turning back to Mr Montez "So... Are you gonna hate me or something?"

David shook his head slightly and looked at his daughter "Are you happy?"

Gabriella looked at him confused, not knowing what to say, she just told him the truth "Uh... Well I wouldn't be any happier at this moment in time" David smiled at his daughter and then started grinning.

"Well then, congratulations!"

As soon as those words left Davids mouth everyone started moving in on Troy and Gabriella, hugging and congratulating them, not just on their newly discovered marriage, but for their children, their health, and everything that life had bought them. Troy looked at Gabriella and watched and her girl friends hugged her, and then they all started gushing over the beautiful engagement and wedding band that led on her finger. When Gabriella felt eyes on her she lifted her head to see Troy looking at her smiling, grinning back she mouthed an 'I love you' and her grin widened, if that was possible, when Troy mouthed the same words back.

Sharpay still looking at her hand quietly squealed "Gabs, this is gorgeous! I can't believe your married!"

Gabriella blushed "Yeah. Me either" she replied honestly and smiled as she glanced back at Troy and saw him talking to all the males, probably about basketball typicalshe thought but nethertheless smiled.

"Dude. I can't believe you got married! At 15, how? That isn't even llegal without parents consent" Chad asked confused.

Troy blushed "We kind of paid this man and woman outside the church to pretend they were our parents. We looked a bit like idiots, we were in our sweats, since Gabriella was ready to burst that was all she could fit into and I wore them to make her feel comfortable too"

David smiled "So, is it everything you hoped for?" Troy turned confused.

"What do you mean?" He asked rather suspiciously.

David just kept smiling "Family life? The wife, the kids, the house with the back yard. Is it everything you hoped for?" Troy looked over at his children and then his wife and smiled.

"Everything and so much more" Before anyone could say anything else, a soft cry was heard throughout the room and everyone turned to the little baby who was crying out. On instinct Troy went straight over to Emily and bent down to the floor and wiped away a couple of stray tears that fell.

"What up Mimi?"

Emily whimpered and stretched her arms out gripping her fingers tight and loosely "Da-da! bot-bot" Troy grinned and turned to Gabriella who was slightly shocked.

"What was that baby?"

"Bot-bot!" Emily exclaimed again, and Troy grinned. Picking her up he went to walk into the kitchen but stopped halfway "Mom is it alright if i get Mimi some food?" Lucille nodded and Troy carried on walking through while talking to Emily.

"You can't have your bottle but you can have a banana" Emilly giggled and started clapping at her daddy, agreeing with a banana.

Later that night everyone had gone home except David and Marie, it was 6 at night and Tyler was sat in his pajamas, on Gabriella's lap, falling asleep ever so slightly by each minute. Emily had falling asleep already and had been put in the baby crib.

There was an empty milk bottle on the coffee table and another half full cup of milk with two cookies next to it, where Tyler hadn't finished his milk and cookies, and had gotten tired. Troy watched as Gabriella yawned, once again, and wrapped his arm around her cuddling her more. Then going back to the conversation he was in the middle of.

"So why did you two purchase the nightclub in the first place if it was run down?" Jack asked taking a sip of his drink and then relaxing again.

Troy watched his father before replying "Well... We needed some sort of money income. We couldn't just live off of the money that we took, I'm really sorry about that but we can talk about that more later, before it I was working in a little shop, and the business in that was going down anyway, the amount of money i earned there a week wasn't much and with the place going out of business the money I got was going down, so we got Oceana and got it up and running, and ended up making a profit" Troy explained to them all.

David looked impressed "Wow. You have done amazing Troy, you really have looked after Gabriella. Of course she will always be apart of my family, but I'm glad to know she is apart of your family"

Troy smiled towards his father-in-law, but out of the corner of his eye he noticed Tyler had fallen asleep on Gabriella, moving carefully he looked at his son and whispered to Gabriella "I'll put him upstairs"

"Why don't I do it? He is on my lap" Gabriella whispered back looking up so her eyes met his.

Troy shook his head and grinned "Nope, I'll be just fine, and your tired enough, why don't you lay down on the 'bed'. My mom won't mind, cause she made it for us, and when i come back down I'll lay down with you. Deal?"

Gabriella nodded and kissed his cheek "Deal"

Troy picked up Tyler slowly, careful enough not to wake his son, and lifted him into his arms before making his way out of his room. As he was walking up the stairs Troy looked either side of him to see all the family pictures, none had been moved or changed since he had last been walking these very stairs. As he got to the last step he smiled as he saw the last photo that had been added, it was the picture that he and Gabriella took of themselves before they left, Gabriella's stomach swelled with pride with Troy's hands resting on it.

Walking on he finally got to his old bedroom, taking Tyler's weight all on one side of his body, he moved his hand to open the door and inwardly gasped as he got inside.

The room hadn't changed since he left, nothing had been touched from what it looked like, the only thing was the baby crib had been added, he wondered why Gabriella hadn't said anything earlier when she put Emily to sleep. As Troy placed Tyler down on the bed, he pulled the covers over his son and kissed him lightly on the forehead, closing his own eyes tightly to prevent tears that threatened to fall.

"I love you son"

Before Troy even thought about leaving he walked over to Emily's baby crib and kissed her forehead.

"I love you Mimi"

Lifting his head up and looking around the room he suddenly couldn't stop any tears at all, they all started coming out from his eyes. He looked at the 4 walls, the walls that held so many memories, the last time he was in this room. Then he started to think about life after he left this room, the trouble he had with his two children, he was a parent at the age of 15, 15 years old and he was a parent, and at 17 years of age he had a son and a daughter. His life had changed so much since he was last in this very room, now he has a wife, children, a home, and he is still legally a child.

Troy sat and let the tears fall, he wasn't sobbing and crying out loud, but tears were falling. He didn't care about how much time had passed, he just focused on the room, and watched as the memories came back to him, each and every one of them sending more tears down his soft cheeks.

Back downstairs 15 minutes had passed and Gabriella was starting to get quite worried about Troy, she stood up and excused herself before quickly making her way up the stairs she had been up early that very same day. Walking toward the bedroom door, she noticed that the door was already open, meaning Troy was still inside with Tyler and Emily. As she stepped inside she felt a pain in her chest at the sight in front of her.

Troy was sat on the floor leaning against the bed red eyes and tears falling down his face "Troy" Was the only word that Gabriella could say before Troy quickly stood up and tried wiping some tears away. Finding it no use he turned to Gabriella and whimpered.

"They haven't changed anything. It's exactly as it was when I was last in here" Gabriella wrapped her arms around him and let him cry into her neck. She knew he wasn't upset, just happy. Happy at what he had got right now, happy his friends weren't mad at him, happy he had a great home, happy he knew his parents cared, happy for everything.

Lifting his head he leaned in and kissed Gabriella on her lips, it was a soft and slow kiss, but it held all the emotions needed. Gabriella sighed and stroked his hair softly into the kiss, this was one of the many things she loved about Troy, no matter where they were or what they were doing, he would always show her how much he loved her, in such small ways which mean the most to her.

As time past the two eventually stood up and made their way back downstairs. Everyone downstairs would have been stupid to forget about them being upstairs. As Troy and Gabriella walked into the room, Troy looked at his mom and dad before walking towards the two and hugging the both.

Gabriella smiled and went over and hugged her own mom and dad, she was glad they were finally all back together, where they should be.

Once they had all hugged one another they all got comfortable again. Troy and Gabriella laid down on a mattress that Lucille had set up for the two, they both snuggled together and sighed happily as they relaxed.

"So what are you two thinking of doing tomorrow?" Marie asked them.

Troy looked at Marie and shrugged his shoulders lightly "I'm not really sure, most likely I'm going to go over to the house and do some painting, all the things for decorating are there ready, I just need to do it"

"Your dad and David can help you" Lucille told him and he turned toward his mom "Don't they have work?"

"No, not tomorrow. It's David's last day off tomorrow and your dad isn't going into school because he has no classes, all he has is paperwork and that has been done, so Chad offered to run basketball practice for him" Lucille informed him.

Gabriella smiled, but shook her head "I can help him, you don't have to help. Tyler is starting his new pre-school tomorrow, and Emily will be fine around the houses" Jack grinned.

"No way, we are gonna help you, whether you like it or not"

Gabriella pouted "Well can I at least help you paint? Please?" She begged and turned to Troy, her pout instantly making him melt.

"Fine!" He held his hands up "I cave you win. You can help us paint, but what about Emily?"

"We can look after her!" Both Marie and Lucille exclaimed at the same time, they looked at each other before laughing. Troy looked at both his mother and his mother-in-law, unsure how to act as the two laughed lighthearted at each other.

A couple of weeks later they found themselves invited to a basketball game at their previous school. Gabriella looked everywhere around her and she walked along the hallways of East High. It hadn't changed much since she was last taking the same steps she was now, the school still had the Wildcat spirit that was for sure. Most posters had something red of them, lockers had Wildcat paw prints in red and East high written in red going across them. She couldn't help but smile as she walked passed her old locker, so many memories had been made in that one little place. In a way this path she took seemed new, different, but when she looked back on all the memories it wasn't new at all, nothing had changed except her; She was a different person. She wasn't the same 14 year old girl, she didn't wake up every morning to see her friends at school, she woke up to see her husband and her kids.

Gabriella was pushing the pram. Since Emily couldn't exactly walk yet Troy was carrying her but they were having fun while doing so, Troy would chuck her up in the air and catch her making her giggle every time. So that left Tyler, even though his parents were keeping an eye on him didn't mean they would be looking all the time, so while they walked Tyler was running around and looking at all the things around him.

Troy grinned as he catched Emily once again "Dad said we're sitting at the front, so do you want me to put the pram in the changing rooms or something so it is out of the way?"

Nodding her head Gabriella averted her eyes away from Troy and saw Tyler, Just "Tyler! Stop until we're closer please" Gabriella smiled when Tyler stopped and turned back to Troy "Yeah okay. It could get hit couldn't it?"

"Yeah, and it's fine cause dad will probably say it anyway" Troy told her and grabbed Tyler's hand as they got to the door that led to the gym.

Tyler pushed the door open with the help of his dad and walked in, he saw the man that they had to give their tickets to and turned to Gabriella "Mama can I give the man our tickets? But can daddy come with me?"

Gabriella quickly dug into her bag and got out the tickets and watched as Tyler and Troy went over to the 12th grader and handed over the tickets, and Tyler pointed over to Gabriella, obviously trying to tell the guy that she was included in one of those tickets, and when the guy nodded his head the four of them walked in like any other normally family and went over to their seats.

Troy spotted Jack hanging around just outside the locker rooms and stood up "I'm just gonna go take the pram over there, back in a few" As he took a few steps to leave Tyler ran over to him.

"Can i come daddy?" Tyler asked him fluttering his eyelashes.

Troy smirked but agreed "You can... But I thought you said you 'have to' be a big boy now and call me dad? You can call me daddy if you want to"

Tyler looked to the floor and then looked up at Troy "Well Chad calls his dad, dad not daddy"

Troy bent down to his level and lifted Tyler's chin so he was looking at him "But your not Chad buddy are you. I know you want to be like him but, if Chad didn't like basketball you would still like basketball wouldn't you?" When Tyler nodded Troy continued "So if Chad calls his daddy dad you can still call me daddy, yeah?" Tyler nodded again and Troy stood back up and held his hand out for Tyler to take.

Shaking his head for a quick no Tyler looked up at his daddy "I'm not gonna hold your hand even though i call you daddy"

Quietly chuckling to himself and placing his hand back onto the pram Troy and Tyler started heading toward Jack.

The buzzer for half time went off. The Wildcats were doing well and winning of course 28-31, even though it was a close match you could see that everyone in the room was having a good time. Since it was half time Emily was sat on the floor in front of Troy and Gabriella watching the mascots and the cheerleaders. After the first quarter Miley had ran over to the four an offered to look after Tyler for a while and take him high into the stands if he wanted to. Which of course he accepted, after his parents permission, leaving Troy and Gabriella to sit together while watching Emily and the game.

"You alright?" Troy asked Gabriella as he wrapped his arm around her for a cuddle.

Gabriella nodded but it wasn't a convincing one "I'm fine... Well, have you noticed people staring? I know I know it's not everyone but still some people are looking, don't you feel a little uncomfortable?"

When Gabriella finished Troy could help but quietly chuckle at how cute she looked, her lips had pouted a little and since she didn't take proper breath her cheeks had become a little rosey, either from that or that fact that she felt uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, forget their here that's what I'm doing" Troy told her as he kissed her forehead.

Gabriella nodded and looked up at him slowly "Honestly though, it's annoying isn't it" Gabriella told him and grinned when he reluctantly nodded his head. While he did that Gabriella noticed it made a lock of his hair fall in front of his eyes and moved it slowly.

"I love you"

Troy smiled and leaned down inches away from her lips "I love you too" After giving her a short but sweet kiss on lips they both turned to Emily who was still watching the mascots and cheerleaders, it was like she is hypnotized by them all.

"Do you think she i hungry? She hasn't eaten in a while has she?" Gabriella asked waiting for a reply from Troy.

Instead of replying though he called over to his daughter "Mimi" Her head turned around responding to her well know name as Troy continued "Want some food baby girl?"

Emily started crawling over, it wasn't the fastest she could go, but it wasn't exactly the slowest either. When she made it to her mom and dad she stood up, using the help of her dad's legs and looked at them expectantly, her eyes wondering to and from both of them. Gabriella went through her bag and got out a small pink box which had chopped up fruit inside. Knowing she liked to feed to herself she let Emily sit herself on the floor and leaned over ready to give the box to her.

"Say ta" Gabriella said to her, making sure she said ta slowly to emphasize it on Emily.

It wasn't an unfamiliar work to Emily, but it wasn't familiar to her either and it always seemed to make her giggle "A!"

Giving in at her adorable face Gabriella handed Emily the box and she immediately began feeding herself.

Zeke jogged over with a water bottle and sat down on the floor next to Emily, resting his back on the bench that Troy and Gabriella were sat on. You could easily see the sweat on his body and even though it smelt disgusting no one around really cared, after all it was a basketball match. After having a big of his drink he put it down and turned to Troy and Gabriella.

"You guys enjoying the game?" He asked and although he was looking at them when he asked as soon as the words left his mouth he turned back to look at Emily.

Troy nodded even though he knew Zeke couldn't see him "Yeah it feel like just yesterday when I was playing with you guys... How come your not with Sharpay?"

Zeke shrugged and faced them both again "Sharpay normally spends the game with the girls and when we have time us boys normally go in the stands to see them, so they have gone to see them but I actually came over here to ask you a question about Emily"

Glancing at her daughter and back to Zeke Gabriella nodded her head urging him to talk "What about her?"

"Well I was wondering can she eat cookies? If you want I can make some soft cookies, not hard ones cause I know she hasn't got all of her teeth yet, but... I really want to bake her some cookies, every-time I even try to bake some Chad normally steals them. So I was thinking he wouldn't it he knew they were for Emily... So why not"

Gabriela giggled when she noticed he was rambling slightly "Zeke you don't have to ask to make her cookies... As long as they are soft, she does have a couple of teeth at the front but they are still coming through... Also if you don't want Chad to take them don't let him near them"

Nodding his head and agreeing Zeke stood up and excused himself to go back over to his team. By looking at the scores, it most likely wasn't going to be one of those movie moments, where there are only seconds on the clock and they need to make one shot to win it. But this didn't stop the team from trying their hardest, they still made more sweat on their bodies and, they still ran like if they didn't the world would come to an end. Everyone on that court had 100 percent focus and that wasn't about to drop. Not until the final buzzer went anyway.

Emily had watched the game, but her being just a little baby her concentration span is short so she played and did loads of other things too.

Troy sighed as he watched everyone start making their way onto the court to congratulate the team on their win. This meant that he had no idea where Tyler would be, he didn't know if he would be on the court, in the bleachers, in the toilets, all he could do was keep Emily close and wait. He felt just a slight taste of relief wash over him as Gabriella's soothing hand brushed down his arm.

"Don't worry Hun, Miley text me they are on the court by the locker rooms"

After waiting a few minutes, Troy looked around and was finally glad there were no crowds of people making their way past him, Gabriella and Emily. This meant he could stand up and move without being knocked into, which made him really happy since he got a little annoyed that someone almost stood on Emily.

"Gabriella this is lovely" Marie praised and she took another mouthful of the skilltet chicken and fruited stuffing.

Troy looked up "I helped too"

Marie laughed as did the others and nodded her head "You did a lovely job too Troy"

Troy grabbed Gabriella's hand and grinned "Thank you"

The conversations had been flowing in the Bolton household for a while. The room had a warm feeling, in fact every room had a warm feeling. Certain lights were switched on unknowingly to create the perfect atmosphere. Troy and Gabriella's parents had arrived just over an hour ago, they all had sat down and talked for a while, as the dinner was in the process of being cooked. Tyler and Emily had played, Emily sat on the floor in front of them all while Tyler went all around his house with different toys. The aroma of the food lingered in every room, and when the dinner was finally ready to be eaten, everyone was seated up on the table waiting for the servings.

By now the food was almost finished, although Tyler complained once or twice, he stayed up at the table and ate his food, which in turn impressed his grandparents. Emily also whined a little bit, but when Troy started feeding her food she started giggling all happy and bubbly again, and also calmed down. To say Jack Bolton was proud and impressed with his son was most likely an understatement, watching Troy made himself look back on the memories he had of trying to get Miley and Troy to stay at the dinner table and eat. Troy had managed to do that make his daughter giggle, and he didn't start any small arguments with Gabriella. Which is what would have happened if it were Jack and Lucille in their place.

Jack smiled politely as he put his knife and fork down, that was delicious thanks"

Looking from his daughter to his dad, Troy matched his smile and gave a slight nod of his head "No problem, anyway Brie did most of it" Before Jack could even reply Troy saw Emily trying to feed herself but missing her mouth completely "Mimi, princess your missing your mouth" Troy chuckled slightly and he started helping her.

Almost as if reading Jack's mind Lucille started talking "If that were me and Jack we would be bickering about something, anything even... You two do so well with the kids. I remember when I had Troy I become a little depressed about my weight, but I suppose you don't have to worry about that, I mean just look at your figure. I would die for that"

As they all talked some more eventually the dinner had ended, and of course Tyler could only behave for so long, after dinner he kept trying to run around even though he had been told to sit and play for a bit as he could be sick from eating his food so fast. In the end he sat on the bottom step -the naughty step- of the stairs, sulking until Gabriella came and got him and gave him a hug for staying there.

Gabriella leaned into Troy more and they sat back in the sofa. Jack, Lucille, Marie and David were all still at the house, all sat with them. By this time it had gone past 9.00pm and the kids had been put to bed. Currently they were all discussing the topic once again of Troy and Gabriella returning to school.

Troy sighed, trying not to show that he was fustrated "Can't we just get work from school, we work at home with the kids, run it into school they mark it, we take tests, bla bla bla high school completed"

"I see where you are coming from honestly, but what about college? I thought you two had big plans?" David asked, he didn't want to sound pushy, but he knew how ambitions they had been when they were fourteen.

Gabriella linked her hand with Troy's, subconsciously for support, before talking "Dad... Can you honestly see us going to college now? Two very young children, a business, and on top of that going to college? It wouldn't work... Troy and I have talked about this loads, we didn't move back here to get pressure put on us, no matter your reasons. We will finish all the online education we're doing. Then again online we're going to study business so we can carry on running the club" As Gabriella reached the end of her point she had ran out of breath, so being the good husband Troy added.

"and maybe in the future, we could own more places and build up our profits, you may not think so but we know what we're doing"

Marie smiled proudly at her daughter, even though she was one of the people pressuring her, it still made her proud to see her daughter could stand her ground and stand up for herself "We will support you 100% hunnie, we will help you whenever you need it"

Those final words had closed the topic, nothing more was said. It was a mutual agreement between them all. Troy and Gabriella would stay as they were, and the rest would help them out, during the good and bad, whatever the case.

Troy moved closer to Gabriella as he got into bed. His body immediately joined hers as the two lay there in peace. The room had one small lamp on, and even though it was only small it gave the atmosphere a warm sensation that Troy and Gabriella shared together.

"I'm glad you stood your ground today... It would have been easy to just give in to what they said" Troy told her, at the same time he was placing small light kisses on her forehead, which of course she didn't mind.

Eventually of course she looked up so he had to stop what he was doing "I know... I love you Troy Bolton"

She always knew what to say to make him grin like a fool... A fool in love "I love you too Gabriella Bolton"

Troy moved his head so it was in line with her own before their lips met. Neither could deny how much they loved having time to themselves, the small and quiet moments which helped make their relationship stay strong. Just a small innocent little kiss could make a memory that would last a lifetime.
