- 3 Years later-

Gabriella's P.O.V

My eyes slowly opened and scanned the room. The feeling of someone running their fingertips up and down my naked tanned back, sending chills through my spine. I looked up, my eyes connecting with those of my fiances, i remembered the previous night, Troy and i had, had the most intense night of love-making ever.

"Morning sleeping beauty" He said softly, I smiled happily.

"How long have you been up?" I asked, propping myself up so i could look at him properly.

"Around 10 minutes"

"Why didn't you wake me babe?" I wondered, reaching up and running my hand through his sandy blonde hair.

"You looked so peaceful and happy" He explained "Plus i couldn't find it in me to wake such a beautiful creature"

I blushed making him chuckle "It never ceases to amaze me how i can always make you blush"

I giggled softly as cries struck our ears. "Kayla is awake" I said, moving to get up.

"No, i'll go" Troy said "You get changed and i'll bring her here." Troy said standing up and pulling on a pair of boxers. I nodded, watching as Troy left our bedroom. I stood up, changing quickly into a pair of Troy's basketball shorts a loose over-sized shirt. I looked in the mirror, running a brush through my tangled sex hair.

It was just under 3 years since since i had given birth to Kayla Angelita Bolton; Troys and mine daughter. Saying the past three years had been some what difficult for Troy and I was an understatment. We had been through a hell of alot; Caring and raising our daughter, school work and jobs. Troy and I had decided that we would both get part time jobs to help us through and to pay for a nanny seen as my mom was at work and could no longer babysit.

Today was the day we moved. Moved from my moms house and into student housing. Luckily, after some hard work at getting our grades up, Troy and i both got accepted to the University of Alberqueqe on scholarships. Unluckily however, it was too far travelling distance from my moms house to make everyday so Troy and I had, had to apply for student housing. We were accepted. (A/N: Student housing is for the rare few who have a child before college or are married etc. if you hadn't guessed.)

Sharpay and the rest of the gang had fortunately also decided to go to U of A and had been assigned dorms on the campus so they were all still pretty close, even though the Troy, Kayla and i weren't in the same building as them.

Thinking back over the three years i couldn't help but think of the changes everyone had gone through, obviously Troy and I had, had to mature quickly for the sake of our daughter but it wasn't just us who had changed...

The whole gang had been incredibly brilliant; constantly helping us out, we owed them soo much. They all seemed to gel with Kayla extremely well and Kayla seemed to adore them all too. Troy and i had decided that Sharpay was godmother and Chad was Godfather to Kayla; they were sooo happy when we told them and had immedietly adopted the title along with the 'responsibilities' of looking after their goddaughter.

Not only were things great with them but i had (as i thought) made a new friend. Since we met in the hospital i had been in constant contact with my new found friends Kirsten and her son Milo. We both knew what the other was going through; the good days and the extremely bad. We constantly emailed, called and met up with each other. (Kirsten lived on the west side of Alberqueqe so it wasn't too hard to meet up with her - It was going to be even easier now as i was going to live closer to her.) I really cherished having her as a friend; because she was someone who was going through the same things as i was. Especially after having Kayla. Plus, Kirsten and Milo were both very sweet, although, i couldn't help but feel bad that she had not been able to return to high school, having no one to look after her son. Which therefore meant, no graduation and no college.

I smiled, watching as Troy carried Kayla through the bedroom door. "Hey look there's mommy!" He said in a soft, caring but childish voice. I put the brush down and stood up, walking over to the bed where Troy was sitting with Kayla. "Hey baby" I cooed, sitting cross legged on the bed, taking Kaylas' hand. "Hows the princess today?"

"Hey Mommy" Kayla said happily, she was wearing her spongebob square pants pyjamas and couldn't of looked cuter. I felt Troy wrap his arm around my waist, looking adoringly at our baby girl who was standing up on the bed, bouncing up and down excitedly.

"Why are you so perky today baby?" I asked, glancing over at Troy in confusement.

"We are going to a new home." Kayla giggled happily. "Daddy said"

"Ah, we sure are" I said, standing up and picking Kayla up into my arms, resting her on my hip. "Come on, lets get you changed and down to grandma so mommy can get changed"

"I'll take a shower" Troy smiled, also standing up.

"Alright babe, come on little miss" I said, kissing Troy quickly before leaving the bedroom and carrying Kayla down the hallway to her bedroom. Her nursery had obviously changed quite a bit since she was newborn but all the same it was beautiful and definetly more girly as before we had no idea wether she would be a girl or boy, Troy and I hoped we would be able to do the same thing with her new room that she was getting at the student housing. It kind of upset me that we were leaving it all behind. I sat her down on the floor before i moved over to her closet, pulling out a rather cute short sleeved t-shirt and matching skirt.

"Where daddy?" Kayla asked. Admittedly, Kayla definetly preferred her daddy to me, but i didn't take it to heart. I knew young children prefered one parent more, usually the opposite sex to them. (A/N: True fact)

"Daddy is taking a shower so he doesn't stink" I explained, holding her clothes out to her. "Wanna get changed Kay Kay?"

She shook her head "Spongebob better"

I smiled at her cuteness "I know sweety, but they are your pyjamas"

"So...?" She asked confused

"So, remember, you have clothes for bed and clothes for daytime" I told her. Kayla was by no means stupid, in fact she had definelty inherited my brain (Just don't tell Troy that) and she loved learning new things, she just needed a reminder now and again.

"O.K" She said indifferently "Me do it though"

"Alright" I said, handing her clothes over, supervising as she changed, having no problem as there was luckily no zippers or buttons. "All done?" I asked

Kayla looked up at me, smiling brightly while nodding. "It ok?"

I giggled, bending down and picking her up "Perfect. Your such a clever girl Kay" I praised, leaving her room and walking downstairs. Fortunately, Troy and I had thought ahead and packed most things we would need at our new home before today, knowing it was really only the essentials and the rest of Kayla's stuff that would need to be packed for the move.

"Hey mom" I said, entering the kitchen and spotting my mom, pouring three cups of coffee.

"Hey Gabi, hello beautiful" She greeted Kayla and I before handing me my coffee. I was sooo happy i had my coffee back and could literally say it had been a life saver the past few years, giving me that extra bolt of energy when i needed it.

"Grandma!!" Kayla said, reaching her small arms out for my mom to take her, i handed her over as Troy entered the room; Showered and sexily dressed.

"Hey Troy" My mom smiled.

"Hey Maria" Troy said, after he had wrapped his arms around me from behind and rested his head on my shoulder. "Hey babe"

"Hmm...You smell nice" I commented, breathing in his familiar scent.

"Hmm...I would say so do you, but you still smell of sex" Troy whispered into my ear so my mother couldn't hear.

I blushed slightly before removing myself of his grasp. "Is Chad coming around soon?"

"Yeah, with Zeke. They are going to help me move some of the bigger things into the moving van Chad borrowed off his uncle, then drive Me, him and Zeke to the apartement, set it up, then drop me back off here to collect you and Kayla" Troy recited

"Ok, well it seems you have everything under control. I'll just go get a shower then i'll be right back down" I said briefly before leaving the kitchen and running upstairs to take a shower.

15 minutes later, i was showered and changed. I was wearing a beige Cami, with some flared denim jeans and white flats. My hair was in a loose bun, a few strands cascading down my back. I nodded and left the bedroom, running back downstairs to the kitchen where i found my mom gone and Troy cooking pancakes while Kayla sat in her high chair.

"I'm back" I said happily.

"Your back" Troy said looking me over "You look amazing"

"Thankyou babes" I said, kissing his cheek briefly before turning to our daughter who was sitting in her chair. Looking as Troy and i interacted. "Daddy" She said.

Troy turned to her "What's up baby?"

"I'm hungry!" She huffed.

I laughed "Has my mom gone?"

"No, she is in the living room on the phone." Troy said, putting the pancakes on a plate and putting them infront of his daughter who clapped happily. Recently, Kayla had really taken to feeding herself and enjoying the praise that came along with it.

I jumped up onto counter next to where Troy was cooking some more pancakes. "I'm glad i taught you how to cook at least one thing."

"Huh! Unfair, i could cook before" Troy said, mock hurt.

"Your kidding me! Troy, babe you used to burn ready meals!" I giggled as Troy moved in between my legs, allowing me to wrap them around his torso, our bodies soo close together as well as our faces.

"Thats true. Although, to be fair, you always made me soo nervous and i have only ever burnt things around you." Troy smiled before planting a brief kiss on my lips and turning back to the pancakes.

Rolling my eyes i turned to our daughter who was sitting quite happily, ripping her pancakes into shreds, eating a piece now and again. I jumped off the counter, walking over to her and pulling some loose bits of pancake out of her hair. "Troy, what are we going to do for jobs and a nanny now?"

"What do you mean?" He asked

"Well, we had to quit our jobs and get rid of our nanny because we were moving too far away. What do we do now? We need someone to watch Kayla and we need the money"

"Brie, don't worry. I'll find another job and the college provides allowance for familys to hire nannies. I checked it all out" Troy said. I sighed, how can he be sooo perfect. (A/N: No idea how factual this is)

"Troy, do you think college will change us?"

"Nope"

"Why?"

"Because Gabriella, College is meant to teach you responisbility, matureness and stuff. We have a 3 year old daughter, we are as responsible and mature as we're going to get" Troy said.

"I guess" I murmured as i felt two arms snake around my waist for the second time that morning.

"Whats worrying you gorgeous" Troy asked, resting his head on my shoulder.

"Nothing" I lied leaning back into his embrace.

"Your lieing" Troy told me "Tell me Gabs, please?"

"I guess, i'm just worried. There are going to be alot of parties and your going to have alot of new friends that will want you to go out and stuff. Are you going to be ok being cooped up with me and Kayla?"

"Brie, if i wasn't do you think you would be wearing that ring?" Troy said referring to the engagemnet ring that rested on my wedding finger. Troy had proposed the morning before Kayla was born and i of course said yes. Troy and I discussed it and both decided it would be better to wait till after college before marrying each other. That way, Kayla would be old enough to remember and we would have enough money, hopefully for a proper wedding.

"I guess"

"Guess? Gabi, you have to get this out of your head. I won't leave you. Understand? Anyway, who is to say we can't find a night babysitter so we can go out now and again. We have managed this far..." Troy said frimly as my mom entered the kitchen.

"Alright lovebirds, break it up. Your daughter is watching." She chuckled.

"She can't help it bless her, she is a curious three year old. She wants to know about everything" I said.

"Right, well i have to go to work i'm afraid. That was my boss on the phone, he needs to see me immedietly. I will be back before you leave this afternoon though." My mom told us.

"Alright, love you mom" I said before she said I love you back, kissed Kayla on the head and left.

"I'm tired" I whined softly.

"I wonder why?" Troy smirked, pulling away from our embrace.

"I think it was because a certain, blue eyed, sexy fiance of mine kept me up all night" I said quietly, so Kayla who was still pre-occupied with her pancakes would hear.

"Well, correct me if i'm wrong but it was you moaning 'More, more, another round Troy...Oh' " Troy chuckled quietly, still so Kayla could not hear. I blushed hard before hitting him on the arm before the doorbell sounded loudly. I sighed "This isn't over Troy Boy" I walked out of the kitchen and to the front door, opening it to reveal 4 people.

"Chad, Zeke, Taylor and Sharpay" I reeled off their names. "I thought just Chad and Zeke were coming?"

"Well we were, but Taylor and Sharpay insisted you would need help packing something or other up for the move" Chad said rolling his eyes.

"Plus, i wanted to see my goddaughter!" Sharpay squealed entering the house "I never get to see her now i don't live here". This was true, recently, Sharpay had moved out of my moms house because her parents had regained their fortune and bought back their mansion.

"Well come in, Troy and Kayla are in the kitchen" I said, allowing everyone through. I laughed as i watched Sharpay and Taylor practically run down the hall into the kitchen, Chad, Zeke and I following.

"Hows my beautiful goddaughter?" Sharpay cooed upon seeing Kayla.

"Auntie Shar!!" Kayla squealed, her arms reaching for Sharpay. Sharpay picked her up out of her chair and held her tight.

"Yeppo, your looking very pretty" Sharpay commented.

I shook my head before jumping back onto the counter like earlier that morning. "Dude, we better start moving if you want to be there by the end of the day" Chad said.

Troy nodded before turning to me "I'll be right upstairs alright?"

"Yep" I smiled as he left the room "Tay, how you been?"

"Good, Busy packing for college."

"Same here, it will be good though because you and Shar are sharing, Chad and Zeke are sharing and Troy and I have a student house."

"Yeah, Gabs have you seen the house your moving into?" Shar wondered.

I shook my head "Troy has the other weekend when he was at U of A. He says its really nice for student housing"

"Thats cool." Taylor nodded.

"Mommy" Kayla said, now reaching out for me. I jumped of the counter and gladly took her, resting her on my hip once again. "Come on baby, shall we go play with yours toys? Auntie Tay and Shar come too?"

"Yay!" Kayla said excitedly.

5 hours later and I was placing Kayla into her carseat ready for the trip to U of A. Troy, Chad and Zeke had sucessfully moved all of our belongings to our new home and all we needed to do now was get there ourselves.

"Mommy, where we going?" Kayla wondered.

"To our new home sweety" I replied, buckling her in before turning to the gang who was standing next to the car with my mom.

"We will see you in two days when we drive up there" Taylor said, pulling me into a hug.

"Yup" I smiled, moving to Sharpay and hugging her before the girls walked over to the car and started speaking to Kayla.

"I'm going to miss you sweety" My mom said, tearing up. This i guess was a huge deal to her, i was moving out afterall and wouldn't be living with her any longer.

"I'm going to miss you too mom, hey don't cry. I'll see you every other weekend. Promise" I told her, hugging her.

"I know, but...Its just going to be soo wierd, the house will be empty." She sobbed.

"Its alright, ring me whenever you want mom" I told her, pulling away.

"Brie, babe we need to go" Troy said to me. I nodded in response, moving over to the car. After saying one more quick goodbye to my mom and a 'See you in two days' to the gang we were on the road.

It felt wierd to me that we were moving from my moms house - Even if it was only to the otherside of Alberqueqe. It wasn't the same.

"You ok Babe?" Troy asked me, glancing over at me before turning back to the road.

I nodded, wiping away a stray tear. "I'm fine."

"Mommy, why are you crying?" Kayla wondered. I turned back to look at her in the back seat.

"I'm not crying, i'm excited about our new home" I covered

"Me too!!" Kayla said clapping excitedly. Troy and I laughed as he reached over and laced his fingers with mine comfortingly. "I love you" He said.

"I love you too, more then you know" I replied, relaxing in my seat.

I had a feeling, a new adventure was about to begin.

You honestly don't know how HARD this was too right. It was a big decision but I have decided to move on with a sequel...
