Summary.

Chad and Taylor are the only two that didn't leave Albuquerque. Chad plays for the Eagles still along with Troy. Zeke moved to California after winning Hell's Kitchen and now runs his own chain of restaurants. Zeke and Sharpay are still together for reasons you will find out.
Gabriella's POV
I heard a crash in the room across the hall and noticed Keigan wasn't with me anymore. I jumped up off the couch and sprinted into the next room. I didn't see her anywhere, but the closet door was open and I heard giggling coming from inside. I walked over and looked inside. 3 year old Keigan Harleigh Bolton was sitting amidst a pile of large books, scrapbooks to be exact.
"Mommy, I make big boom," She giggled holding a belt that she must've tugged on to have knocked everything down.
"Yes you did," I said picking her up. "I heard it in the other room."
"Read book?" She asked.
"Ok," I bent over and picked the book up. I carried Keigan and the book into the living room and sat on the couch. I set Keigan down next to me and layed the book on the coffee table. I opened the book and started looking at pictures. This first book was from wedding number two, one year after Keigan was born.
"Gabi, you look beautiful, don't worry about anything," Taylor assured me.
I was worried about baby weight, Troy kept telling me it was all off, but I still thought I was fat, I guess it's normal though.
In a matter of minutes I was walking down the isle, everything went smoothly so far, no one, ahem, mom, ahem, showed up late, no odd pains in my back.
I looked up and saw Troy standing there with a huge beam on his face. I felt all my nervousness disappear at that very moment. I could barely hear the priest until it was time for the 'I do's'
Troy squeezed my hand after he said his 'I do's' and I said mine. He kissed me, and next thing I know, we were in our house, on the bed. I had went through the reception robotically until Troy decided he 'needed me' outside. We told everyone goodbye, and we left. Then we were home.
I had told Keigan all the appropriate parts of the wedding since she was too small to remember. She loves looking at pictures. Next I saw one from Sharpay's goodbye party.
"Shar, you can't leave us, you have a 2 year old for crying out loud," Zeke cried.
"I don't want too, but Sam signed the contract, it would take more money than we have to break it early. I told her I didn't want to do this as soon as I found out about Elle, but she signed anyway," Sharpay sobbed. She bent over and picked up Elle, her 2 year old daughter. She was blond and had tan skin, she looked way more like Sharpay, but she had Zeke's eyes and beautiful curls in her hair.
"Mommy, don't be said," Elle said giving her mom a hug. That only made her cry more.
"Sharpay, I brought you a goodbye gift," I said sadly.
She grabbed the box and opened it unenthusiastically, that changed when she saw what it was. It was a pink Chanel bag. Probably worth $150,000. It was amazing. I picked it out for her because she loves pink, and because it isn't available anywhere yet. Troy has connections, so he was able to get it months before it came out.
"Thanks Gabi," Sharpay said looking a small bit happier. She knew how rare it was, but she had changed, purses aren't before family anymore.
"Zeke, I wish you could come with," She sniffled.
"I do too, but Chef Ramsay said my first restaurant has to be in California, after a few years I get to choose a place to put another one," He griped.
"I'm gonna miss you," She said hugging him.
"What are we going to do with Elle, she's too young to travel by herself, she needs a stable home with only one of us," Zeke asked.
"I-I think she should stay with you," Sharpay said softly. "I'm not going to be in a specific home for long at a time, it's a traveling performance company. She needs one home that won't move every 2 weeks."
"Are you sure," He asked.
"Yes, just make sure she knows who I am, I don't want her to think I left her and didn't love her," She said looking him in the eyes.
"I will," He said.
"Time to go Mrs. Baylor," The limo driver said. Sharpay and Zeke had gotten married the previous year.
"Wait, we have to get a group picture," Taylor called.
We all got together and took two pictures, a serious and a funny.
The funny is what we just looked at. Now Sharpay is due back for good in less than 2 years. Zeke will get another restaurant around then too. He already chose Albuquerque.
Next was a picture of Troy, Evanne, Keigan, and I in New York City at a Broadway play Ryan was acting in and Kelsi has composed the score for.
"Ryan, you did great," I called hugging him.
"Thanks," He smiled.
"Say hi to Uncle Ryan, Keigan," I said waving her hand. She was 2 years old now.
"She is getting so big," He said spinning her in the air.
"Wheeee," She squealed.
"Gabi, I didn't know you guys were coming," Kelsi screamed running over and hugging me.
"We had to be here for y'all first show," I laughed.
"Did you like it," She asked.
"Yes, I am buying the score for my iPod," I told her.
"Have you heard from Sharpay lately," I asked Ryan.
"Yea, they're in Italy, she has been so busy, she hates it though, she said she would rather be in cheesy city run plays rather than huge million dollar productions," He said. "She said Zeke and Elle are going up to visit in a few weeks, she gets a short break every 6 months."
"She's gonna love that," I said.
"Yea, she has been shopping non-stop for presents for Elle," He said.
"She's gonna be the only kid in her day care in Italian clothes," I laughed.
"Hopefully she doesn't turn into another Sharpay," Kelsi said.
"Hey, where did Troy and Keigan go," I asked looking around.
"They are in the store over there," She pointed.
"Ok, well, I guess I better go find them, it was so great seeing you both," I said hugging both of them.
That was the last time I saw Kelsi and Ryan. I think I'm going to plan a trip during Christmas Break.
"Mommy, when Evie come home," Keigan asked.
"Oh shoot, we need to go get her right now," I said looking at my watch.
"Run mommy, run," She laughed.
I scooped her up and ran to the car to get to Evanne's middle school. She is 10 years old and in 6th grade at one of the junior highs in town that has a 6th grade program, so she is all the way across town.
We got there just as the bell was ringing and Evanne ran to the car smiling.
"What are you so happy about?" I asked.
"No reason," She said waving to someone out the window. I looked and there appeared to be a boy waving back. I think we may have to have 'the talk' soon.
So, the first chapter is complete. What do you think?
