Penname change again sorry guys: Lemonwave22 myBFFalice

I'm so sorry about how long it took me to get this last chapter up. Like I said my computer was having problems and it took a while for the new one to come. But here it is finally, the last chapter!

This chapter is dedicated to everyone who reviewed this story. You know who you are and so do I. Thanks for all your support!

Enjoy!

It had been several months since Gabriella had overheard the obnoxious girls chatting away about how they apparently scored with the one and only Troy Bolton. At the time, Gabriella was still slightly insecure and nervous about the brand new relationship her and that certain captain of the basketball team had begun.

Truthfully, at first she allowed their gossip to hit her full force. But not minutes later, while Troy had his arms wrapped around her lovingly, the issue was rolling off her back. Complete and utter trust bonded them together, despite his previously playboy ways.

From her seat in the front row, Gabi glanced back at her longtime boyfriend, Troy Bolton. Quickly, deciding against getting in trouble, Gabriella swiveled back around to face the audience. A man strode up to the podium and bellowed, "It is now that I would like to present with great pleasure, the East High class of 2009!!"

Everyone shot up in excitement, echoing cheers and hoots of pure giddiness. Caps flew wildly about the stage while Troy made his way to Gabriella, who was congratulating Taylor on her honor of valedictorian.

Tapping her on the shoulder lightly, words were unneeded. She flung to him and kissed him sweetly.

When they pulled back, Gabriella noticed Troy's uncharacteristically clammy palms and suddenly apprehensive expression.

"Troy, what--?"

He promptly cut her off, dropping to one knee and swiftly snatching an object from his pocket, "Marry me?"

Gabriella stood dumbfounded, somewhat transfixed on the light catching object fixed in his shaky fingers. They both hardly noticed the entire graduating class', and their loved ones, silence and affixed gazes.

It wasn't good timing for Gabriella. She was too young to get hitched now. She had dreams. She was going to Stanford in the fall. What would her mother say? Would she even allow it? Gabriella barely graduate high school before this was all conveniently sprung onto her. All this logic was being thrown 

left and right inside her head and she knew it would most likely be a foolish decision to accept his spontaneous proposal. Logic was her standby always right? Right.

Then why couldn't she keep the smile from erupting onto her face?

"YES! A million times yes!!" He swiftly slipped the diamond onto her left ring finger and kissed her passionately.

"About time!" Chad obviously cheered from a different part of the stage. Taylor was snuggled up against his chest.

"Go Troy and Gabby!" Ryan shouted supportively as he slipped his hand into Sharpay's.

Yes. If you were wondering, Ryan and Sharpay finally stopped dancing around each other and got together exclusively.

Gabriella and Troy giggled from their spot on center stage. Where else? They'd taken the leads in the winter and spring musicals last year, and soon after that everyone at school seemed to break from their molds.

It was all because Gabriella Montez, soon to be Bolton, moved to Albuquerque that one year.

--

Ten years later.

Troy sat downstairs at his kitchen table in the mansion he and his wife had recently purchased. He sipped his morning coffee slowly, delighted to have the day off from basketball practice. He let his eyes scan the day's newspaper willing something to spark his interest.

The toaster signaled that his waffle had cooked, so he got up from his stool to retrieve it. Taking it out quickly, the temperature of his breakfast surprised him as he juggled it in his hands. After a few minutes of that, Troy decided it was at a good enough temperature for eating.

Looking around quickly for his wife, who announced moments before that she was going to the bathroom, he shoved the entire waffle into his mouth at once. Chewing like a pig, he poured some syrup into his mouth alongside the waffle for flavor.

"Troy!" Gabriella bounded into the kitchen.

Fearing he'd been caught red handed, Troy choked on his breakfast in surprise, "Gab-.." He spit it into the trashcan, "Gabriella I'm sorry! I know you told me not to do that, and that's it's a choking hazard, but they just taste perfect that way!"

Gabriella shook her head confusedly, "What? Oh. Troy…no I…"

A huge smile broke out across her features before she could finish and she looked sheepishly, revealing the pregnancy test hidden behind her back.

Troy froze and looked at the results and he sighed, "Again?"

"Yes!!" Gabriella bubbled pleasantly.

Troy beamed now as well as he picked her up in celebration, "We're having another baby!!"

Just then a small child walked into the room and rubbed her eyes as if pushing away sleep. "We're having another baby?"

Gabriella smiled at how adorable and angelic her first born, now five-year-old, daughter was. "Yes we are! Guess what, Marie Joan…you're going to be a big sister again."

She yawned and replied groggily, "I'm not sure how I feel about that."

Troy chuckled and guided Marie towards the stairs, "Why don't you go check and see if Robbie is awake yet, and I'll be up in a minute to check on both you and your brother."

"Okay Daddy."

"Taylor and Shar are going to want to be the first ones to know so-" Troy walked back into the kitchen to see Gabriella already past the dial tone.

"Shar? Guess What!"

Troy felt joy well up inside him as he admired his wife and went off to check on his two children, completely ecstatic that another one was on its way.

-

Troy winced as the nurse commanded the last 'Push!' from his Gabriella. Suddenly cries filled the room and Gabriella panted happily. Troy smiled down at his wife and praised her for a job well done.

"Mr. and Mrs. Bolton, here are your new born twins. There's one boy and one girl. They're beautiful," the nurse complimented, handing one child to each of them.

"Troy I'm so happy," Gabriella commented teary eyed.

"Me too." He sappily responded.

Soon all their friends were holding the new Anthony Thomas and Isabella Rose. Sharpay waddled around now, carrying Ryan's child. They'd only been married for a year, but wasted no time at all.

Chad and Taylor had been married for a while now, but were yet to have a child. They had decided that they weren't ready yet and everyone respected their decision.

"What's up with you today?" Troy questioned Chad, who was now cradling Isabella Rose.

"Nothing."

"Are you sure? You seem so…chipper, more than usual."

A chorus of 'yeahs' chimed in around them, and Chad suddenly seemed nervous. Taylor threw him a pointed look.

"Nothing's up," Chad assured, "I just want to get used to holding a baby in my arms."

Confused looks were shot to him and Taylor sighed, "Chad!"

"What…I mean, just because…Gabby! So you and Troy are popping 'em out by two's now. Ha" he tried to cover.

"Oh Chad," Taylor scolded, "You never could keep a secret. Alright everyone…I'm…Chad and I…we are…"

"She's got a bun in the oven!" He shouted.

"Chad!" Taylor blushed, embarrassed by her husband.

Everyone was too happy for her to care though.

From then on, things went strangely 'fairy-tale ending' for them. I guess when you find true love, everything seems to be okay as long they're always there to catch you when you fall.

So that's the end of the story right there!! I hope you enjoyed it!
