Hope you like this oneeeeee.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot, nothing to do with anything else.

There are 14 people in my family, not my extended family, my actual family. That's right you didn't miss here me I have eleven siblings. A lot right. Well I'd my there's well fill you in and give you all the details.

Well firstly there's my oldest sister Roxanne, she's 33 and the oldest out of the group. She's been married for 8 years (to Frank) and has three kids. Kylie, 9. Jamie, 5 and Michaela 3. She's pregnant again (hopefully with a boy) and spends her time as a stay at home mom.

Next would be Joshua, he's 29 and is currently going from one girl to the other in a matter of weeks. You never no who he's going to bring to the next family getaways. We're probably the closets out of all my siblings. We hang out together as well as work at the family business, The Bolton Advertisement Company.

Then there's me. I'm Troy and 27 at the moment.

After me there's a big age gape to Bethany who's 22. She's a Senior at UCLA and is trying to became the next Alicia Keys (auditioning without the knowledge of my parents). And at the moment dating a guy named Scar. Nice guy just a little on the dark side.

After Beth there's Kathy and Katie. 18 and seniors in high school. Kathy's the smart one in the family, she's in honour classes and on the debating team while her twin is the exact opposite. Katie's more prom-queen material. She's not the smartest in the world (actually she's rather blonde) and prefers to spend her time hooking up with the football team then studying. Katie's on the cheerleading squad and while the two girls are complete opposites they get on like a house on fire.

Next are the triplets. Dane, Harry and Joe. 16, all sophomores in high school and all very much a like. Not having a care in the world besides girls, partying and saving up for a car.

Next is Adam, he's 12 and going through the awkward stages of teenage hood. He wears classes and is incredible smart which only get him being picked on and laughed at by people.

Then there's Kim, she's 10 and is completely naïve to the world. Not having a care in the world and in love with her dolls.

And last but not least is Max. He's five and hopefully the last of the children my parents have. Roxanne finds it really weird how her kids are older then their uncle.

As I was saying earlier about family getaways and Josh, well that's exactly what's coming up. There's a family vacation that's happening in a couple of days up at our parents lake house for part of the summer and I've invited my girlfriend to come with. Only problem is she's never met them. Anyway this is the story of that fateful summer at the lake.

…...

'So what's she like?', Roxanne Bolton said sitting on the couch of the lake house talking to her family.

'Not sure, I haven't met her all I know is he met her at one of the gigs we had coming up and they've been inseparable for weeks. He hasn't spend a full week at home since April', Josh said pulling up a chair.

'What do you mean a gig?', Beth said, immediately becoming more enthusiastic about the conversation. 'She's an actress?'.

'Model. She was there to do the Audi advert a couple months back'. Josh replied taking a swig of his beer.

'O great, now we know exactly what she's like'. Kathy said always being the optimistic in the family.

'Kat you don't know what she's like. Don't judge people by what they do, she could be very nice'. Lucille Bolton said walking into the lounge carrying a bowl of chip.

'Yea and I'm smart'. Katie said sarcastically backing her sister up. After Josh had come home with his fair share of model girlfriends most of the family had put them in the category snob.

'Apparently she's quite famous, she's been on the cover of playboy, GQ and FHM. Not to mention the numerous adverts she gets. She works for Elite Model Agency and The Victoria Secret Line. She's one of there top models'. Dane said. Everyone turned to look at him.

'Of course Dane googled her as soon as Troy mentioned she was a model'. Roxanne said.

Dane blushed a threw a pillow at her. Frank caught it before it came into contact with his wife and said, 'Hey no throwing things at my pregnant wife'.

There was a honk outside before Troy's Audi A4 came into view through the window.

'Here comes the moment of truth'. Kathy said as the all started making there way towards the front door.

…...

All I had to do was pull up to the Lake House to know my whole family was inside talking about us. Okay so I know what my family thinks of models thanks to the past with Josh, but Gabriella isn't anything like that. She's the most down to earth, caring girl I'd ever met and I know I'd fallen in love with her. The only problem now was to try get my family to warm up to her.

'Why isn't anyone outside? It's so gorgeous today. O and look at the Lake. Troy we have to go swimming later', Gabriella said as they both climbed out the car. Troy laughed before replying 'Don't worry babe, we're here for two weeks. We'll swim plenty'.

'I love when you call me that', Gabriella said walking around the front of the car to take his hands. Troy pulled her towards him and bent down before whispering in her ear, 'I love when you moan my name'.

'Troy!', Gabriella quickly pulled away before looking around for any sites of another person.

'Yes?', He had a mysterious look in his eyes and at the same time trying to not laugh at her embarrassment.

Before Gabriella had the opportunity to respond there was a shout from the front door.

'Max!', Troy said as his little brother catapulted himself into Troy's arms. 'Hey Buddy'.

'Twoy! I missed you'. Max said unable to say his 'R's' probably.

'I missed you too little man. Hey I wanted you to meet someone'. Troy put his little brother down before turning to Gabriella and saying. 'Buddy this is Gabriella, do you remember me talking to you about her, she's one of my special friends so you have to be extra nice'.

'You mean like when Joshy brings home his special friends'. Max said looking up at Gabriella but keeping a firm arm on Troy's leg.

'Haha no buddy even more special'. Troy laughed hearing Gabriella giggle.

'Hey Max, Troy's told me a lot about you, you know'. Gabriella said bending down to his height.

'Really?' He said but not leaving time for Gabriella to respond before running towards the house. She quickly turned towards Troy wide-eyed, who laughed at her worried expression and just kissed the top of her head.

'Don't worry, he does that with everyone. Come on lets head inside'. Troy grabbed her hand and started pulling her.

'Here they come, everyone act natural'. Beth said staring out the window.

'Always the drama queen'. Lucille hit Josh over the head before taking a seat next to her husband.

'Hey, we're here!' Troy called from the doorway.

'Troy! About time bro. Why weren't you here yesterday?' Dane said standing up to be the first to greet his brother.

'Sorry man, Brie had a shoot and it only ended this morning'. Troy said man hugging his little brother while Gabriella elbowed him in the stomach.

'Offf, and talking about Gabriella guys I'd like you to meet my girlfriend Gabriella Montez'. Troy shoved her forward so everyone could see her.

Bethany was the first to say something as she walked forward and eyed her up.

'I expected you to be taller'.

'Beth!' both Troy and Lucille said at the same time.

'Oh no it's okay. I like being short it makes me feel small'. Gabriella said making everyone laugh.

After all the introductions where made Troy could tell that all the men had warmed up to Gabriella pretty fast (not that he was surprised) but it would take the girls in his family a little while longer to get used to her.

Troy had taken Gabriella's hand again and showed her around the house before up to the room they'd be sharing for the next two weeks.

'So how'd it go?' Gabriella said pulling a black bikini out of her bag. Everyone had agreed to meet the two love birds out by the lake once they'd settled in.

'They loved you. I promise, I think I even saw Joe wipe his mouth when you walked in'. Troy said walking up behind her.

'Troy I'm serious. I really want them to like me'. She said feeling his arms encircle around her waist.

'So am I. After these two weeks you'll have every member of my family wrapped around your finger just like I was the second I met you'. Troy said leaning down and placing a kiss to her bare shoulder. Gabriella sighed before walking into the on joining bathroom to put her bikini on.

'Flip that girl doesn't have to be short to feel small, she's like a freaking stick'. Bethany said sitting down next to Roxanne on a lounge chair. They had all moved outside and snagged seats along the deck while the men jumped into the water and grabbed the boat to take out. At the moment they couldn't take there eyes away from Gabriella and Troy who were laughing and wrestling to get in the water.

'Yea flip, but dude you gotta admit she's got pregnant woman boobs'. Roxy said pulling a sarong over her expanding stomach.

'Haha of course you'd know that preggies'. Kathy said from next to Katie.

They all turned back towards Troy and Gabriella as they heard a shriek.

'Troy!' Gabriella shrieked as Troy pulled her over his shoulder. 'Don't you dare Bolton'.

Troy turned towards the end of the deck and squeezed her bum before jumping into the water.

'I can't believe you!' She shrieked as she resurfaced. Troy just laughed at her and pulled her towards him.

'Aww I'm sorry baby it was just so tempting'. Troy said rubbing there noses together as Gabriella wrapped her legs around his waist under the water.

'I love you' she said looking into his eyes.

'I love you too, more then anything'. Troy said back at her.

'More then me Troy boy'. A voice said behind them making them jump apart and turn around. Standing in front of them on the deck was Josh holding back a laugh.

'Way more then you'. Troy said swatting water in his direction. Gabriella and Josh both laughed and she started swimming towards the stairs.

'I'll leave you two'. Gabriella said climbing out and grabbing the towel next to Josh.

'Baby you don't have to leave'. Troy said swimming over to the edge and looking up at her.

'No don't worry you two have fun I'm gonna go join the girls'. Gabriella said wiping her face from the water.

'K, love you babe'. Troy said understanding her need for his family to like her.

'Love you too Troysie'. Josh said as Gabriella walked away laughing.

'Here she comes guys'. Katie said pulling her sunglasses back over her eyes as Gabriella started walking towards them.

'Hey, can I join you?' Gabriella said a few steps away.

'Of course, come on there's another lounge chair next to Roxy'. Lucille said pulling her towel off it.

'Thanks'. Gabriella said turning around and sitting down with her back toward them.

'Hey cool tattoo, what does it mean'. Beth said turning towards Gabriella.

'Thanks, it mean love. It's actually new I got it about two months ago'. She said turning so she could see the small of her back.

'That's so cool do you have any more?' Kylie said also suddenly interested in the girl. She lent forward and pulled down her glasses as Gabriella nodded her head.

'Um yea I've got two more'. Gabriella said as she lay down next to Roxanne.

She lifted up her left wrist to show a small butterfly to the left of the inside of her wrist and then lifted up her right leg to show a tiny star next to her ankle bone.

'Awesome, I got three but there's the birth date of my kids'. Roxy said holding up her arm to show three separate dates.

'I want one badly but don't know what to get. Plus all my friends are to big of wusses to go with me'. Beth said as she moved from her seat and sat down on her sisters.

'Dude! Pregnant women, move over'. Roxy said moving over.

Gabriella giggled at the two sisters suddenly wanting her sister.

'Oh shush you to. So Gabriella how old are you?', Lucille said. She had watched her son and his girlfriend earlier that day and had seen the way he looked at her, he wanted to get to know the girl that had obviously stolen her sons heart.

'I'm 21' Gabriella said grabbing her sunscreen from the table.

'That's a pretty big age gape between you and Troy then'. Lucille said as each girl turned towards the other or there book knowing there mother was only just starting the interrogation.

'I know and it stopped me from agreeing to Troy's date before I did. I've never dated a guy that much older then me'. Gabriella said applying the sunscreen to her arms.

'So how many men have you dated?' Lucille said flicking her hair away from her eyes.

'What? Oh no not many. I had a steady boyfriend in high school but it didn't work out when I moved to California for school and then there's been only one other guy since then'. Gabriella said suddenly feeling nervous.

'Ahh so what happened to him'. Lucille said looking at her through her glasses.

'He um he wasn't for me'. Gabriella said not really wanting to get in to the life she left behind with Chase. 'He was the reason I wasn't able to finish school'.

'Hmm'. Lucille said before snapping her book shut. 'So Troy tells us you're a model. How'd you get in to that line of work after not finishing school?'.

…...

'Yo Troy looks like your girls going through the interrogation'. Josh said as they where making their way back to the deck.

Troy turned towards the girls and watched as he saw Gabriella stall in applying sunscreen and facing his mother.

'Aww man, I told her not to do this. Dude I'll be right back'. Troy said jumping up onto the deck and running up towards them. He was just close enough to hear the end of his mothers sentence.

'Mom'. Troy made himself known to the two girls. 'Don't scare her'.

He walked around the back of her chair and lay down next to a sitting Gabriella.

'Hey girls the guys are taking the boat out, go join them'. Troy said more of a command then a suggestion. They all started grabbing there things except Lucille.

'Mom'. Troy said giving her a look.

She sighed before putting her book down and walking towards the men.

'She hates me'. Gabriella said putting her head in her arms.

'No baby she doesn't, she's just worried about me okay'. Troy said pulling her into his arms. 'She knows how it was with Holly okay. She doesn't want that to happen again'.

'I would never do what she did to you. I love you so much. For you, not for your family business', Gabriella said tucking her head under his and stroking his stomach.

'Hmm that feels good'. He said closing his eyes and pulling her more towards him. 'How about this. We cover you in more sunscreen and then go join the others so I can teach you how to ski'. He said while grabbing the cream and rubbing some up her leg.

Later that evening found them in the same position as they took over one of the many couches in the movie room.

'This is the biggest lake house I've ever seen. You most have loved coming here when you were a kid'. Gabriella said. Everyone had gathered in the room a couple hours ago to watch movies and eat pop corn and at the current moment they were all watching A Walk to Remember (with many groans from the men).

'You know we never really watched many movies when we came down here. There was always so much going on and we usually had friends out here as well'. Troy said grabbing her hand to play with.

'Reall -'. Gabriella was cut off by Lucille walking past them and saying. 'Oh that reminds me Troy the Danforth's are coming to stay for a while, while there house is under reconstruction'.

'What?!'

'Mom this holiday was supposed to be about the family. Why are the Danforth's coming to stay'. Troy said as he followed his mother in to the kitchen.

'Oh Troy stop being dramatic your sounding like Bethany'. Lucille said grabbing two mugs out of the cupboard.

'Mom'. Troy said rubbing his head over his face sighing.

'Troy how was I supposed to turn them away? Their house is under construction. And if this is such a family affair why is that girl here?' Lucille said removing the kettle from the stove.

Troy felt like screaming. Why the hell can't she understand.

'I asked her to marry me'.

So that's chapter 1, let me know what you think :P meaning REVIEW please and thank you :)
