Taylor was putting the last touches on her daughter's hair. She was getting ready to attend Chad's MVP dinning celebration. Her husband had been under a lot of pressure these last few days. She was trying to keep everything together but was starting to lose some faith in her marriage. Though the only thing keeping Taylor together was her children and her best friend, Troy Bolton.
Thinking about him put a soft smile on Taylor's face, he was always their when she needed him. When Chad didn't get home for the last two months of her pregnancy with Isabelle, or Baby girl as Troy likes to call her, Troy was their every step of the way. He even spend the night on the due date, so just in case she needed to go to the hospital late at night, he could take her and all the kids.
Their relationship was a great one, many people saw them with all their children and assumed they were a family. In a way, they were. Gabby was Taylor's best friend from high school, they were sister in every way. Tay and Gabby both married their high school sweethearts, which of course was Chad an Troy. Those two being best friends were just like brothers. So it was only natural they blended families and share the same dates: wedding, pregnancy, celebrations, vacations,
you name it.
"Come on, Tay. I need you get the ready." Chad said as he walk out of the walk in closet. He was dressed in a three piece suit, he grew to become a strong, build man. His hair was a little more tamed then in high school. He was still as handsome, to Taylor. Though, their kids seems to like less and less. But, it goes with the territory. He is an famous athlete, actor, and activist for communities. He can't be home all the time, that falls onto Taylor.
"I am ready, Chad. I just had to fix, Bella's curls, Elaine and Janelle are ready." Taylor said, as she set her little girl down and smooth out her Chanel dress, it was backless, dark purple grown, deep V- open top. Taylor turned to check out the back making sure the dress hugged her just right. Then she put on her diamond bracelet, and ruffled her deep curls to give off the Shirley Temple look.
"Hmm.. That dress is awful revealing, Tay.. I may have to jack up some idoits tonight..." Chad said as he checked out his wife of six years.
Tay sighed softly, she really couldn't stand it when Chad would get all possessive of everything she wore, especially out in public.
"It's fine, and we all look good. That's all that matters, ever man in world knows I am with you, they wouldn't dare challenge the Mr. MVP." Taylor said while smiling. She saw Chad's cocky grin creep up on his face.
Taylor called her girls to the living room, to make sure her two year old, Bella, four year old, Janelle and five year old Elaine were not making up their faces with her expensive make-up, though she found it funny last time, she knew with Chad on edge he would explode about being late and trashy looking kids.
"Coming Mommy!"
Ok-MOMMY"
"MA!" We the sound made by her three angels, the raced down the stair as fast as their little legs can get them.
"Slow down, girls.. Don't hurt yourselves!" Chad yelled at them, scaring Bella the most.
"Chad! Don't yell at them. They are just trying to get down here so we don't make you late. Calm down!" Taylor snapped. She hated when he jumped all on them.
Taylor glared as she reach her girls, and picked up Bella, who looked on the verge of tears.
Just then a loud knock sounded. And Chad answered the door, in came Troy and Gabby right behind with their two sons, six year old Troy Jr., and four year old Gabe.
"Where is the baby girl?!!" Troy loudly spoke to Bella, who jumped in Taylor's arms, waving her arms all around.
"Oh, great. Now that Isabelle sees Troy, I'm second father.." Chad grumbled and Taylor rolled her eyes.
"There's my baby girl!! Oh come on Chad, I like her first crush... She loves you most." Troy said to Chad, then he lift Bella in the air, only to catch her.
"Troy, don't do that.. You trying to give me a heart attack?" Taylor gasped at Troy. She looked to see her nephews with their famous, Bolton grins.
"Hey, Guys, Gabby" Taylor spoke. Taylor hugged her best friend, then she hugged her nephews.
"HEY Mama Tay!" The two boys yelled as the gave hugs and kisses. Taylor and her girls laughed as the reach the boys going towards the stairs to talk.
"Well if you all are done with the family reunion, we need to get going to dinner." Gabby said, with her blackberry in hand, typing away.
******** At the MVP Dinning Table*********
"Chad! My man, that was some speech!" One of the business founders came up to chat with Chad, while Gabby and him were having a glass of champagne.
"Thanks, man." Chad said cocky, not really paying much attention.
"Do you want need anything, Tay?" Troy asked Taylor while she was cutting up all the kids dinners so they can eat safety.
"No, thank you, Troy. I'm fine, though can you give Bella her bottle? She is not liking the water, right now." Taylor asked with a smile, she really loved Troy around, he always kept his focus on the family not matter if they were in public, or just at home having Sunday dinner.
"Sure, Tay. Hey, Baby Bella. You want the bottle Mommy made for you?" Troy said in a baby voice, on to excite the Isabella and have her little chubby legs kicking in all directions.
"YAY!" Isabelle loved when Troy gave her all his attention. She would do anything Troy asked. 'Maybe even more than if I asked her, and I'm her mother' Taylor thought, and it made her laugh.
Hearing that, Troy and all the kids look up to hear Taylor laugh, it was rare whenever they were out on Chad and Gabby's public outing that Taylor was happy and laughing.
Troy looked at her for a minute. Then spoke: "You look beautiful, Taylor." Troy was holding the bottle for Bella to keep drinking.
Taylor blushed a little, "Thanks, Troy. You look pretty handsome yourself." She said with a smirk on her face. Troy smiled back and turned his attention to Bella again.
He lift her out of the high chair and burped her a little. Bella snuggled up closer to Troy, falling asleep against his shoulder.
At this site it made Tay's heart melt, he was so good to her little girl, she knew was for two reason.
1. He was with Taylor throughout the whole pregnancy, Chad and Gabby were on the road doing a lot of promotions for Chad's career. It was up to him to take care of her, her children, and his own kids. They really bonded as a family because of it.
2. He really wanted a daughter, but after all the talks with Gabby, Taylor had it was clear Gabby wanted to keep her figure, in her own words: "I had two boys.. I done!"
Taylor looked to her left and saw the boys were getting restless as well, Gabe, leaned closer to Taylor so he could rest his head against her. The same with her girls, they were leaning against one another.
Troy looked over to see this, and he and Taylor looked at one another knowing their children were tried. It was time to make an exit. Troy shifted Bella closer to him so he could get up let Chad and Gabby know it was time to call it a night.
"Hey guys, the kids are tried out. We need to get them home for bed." Troy whispered, not trying to wake Bella.
"Troy, we need to mingle more. This dinner is for Chad, he needs to get names and numbers." Gabriella said.
"Look man, you and Taylor can go ahead and take the kids home. We will stay here and get some work done." Chad said, waving over to other businessman.
"Alright, whatever. I let the kids say at you place until you bring Gabby over." Troy didn't feel like fighting, not with Bella sleeping sweetly.
"Great, see later, Baby. Don't stay up too late." Gabby grabbed Chad and moved over to more guest.
Troy moved over to get the family ready. "We're out, Chad and Gabby want to stay and work the crowd.. How about we stay over your place and let the kids sleep until tomorrow morning?" Troy asked while he woke up the girls.
"That's fine, I don't mind." Taylor said as she picked up Gabe, he was too tried to even move.
As they headed to the velvet area, an older couple walked over. "Aww.. Look at those angels, they are just too adorable." The elder woman spoke quietly to them.
"Thank you." Troy and Taylor said together.
"Your daughter is just so precious, you are very blessed." The woman said as her car came up.
"He isn-" Taylor started to correct the woman, but Troy interrupted.
"Thank you, Miss. I am." Troy rubbed Bella's back softly and said his goodbyes to the couple.
As they put the kids away in Troy's black Lincoln Navigator. He looked over at Taylor. "They were nice." He said smiling.
"Your lucky Chad didn't hear you say that, he and Gabby would chew you up." Taylor teased, half serious.
"Well, she is a blessing to you and me. So I wasn't wrong." He stated, completely ignoring Taylor shaking her head, laughing at him.
************************************
Later, while the kid were dressed for bed. Taylor changed into her silk nightgown and robe. She was headed to the living room, to check on Troy when she heard her Bella, whimpering.
Taylor moved to her room, but stopped when she saw Troy gently calm her down, and rocked her side to side. He was humming softly, like he had whenever he put her to bed as a newborn.
Taylor couldn't help but tear up, she loved moments like this, she wished so bad that it was Chad holding their daughter and rocking her. But he had changed so much since their newlywed days. Though, seeing Troy take care of her and her little girl, made her feel all the more love for her best friend.
This wasn't the first time she and Troy got compliments for stranges on how beautiful their family was, mistaking them for husband and wife, with all their kids with them. And also, not the first time Troy has made a mission to not correct them for thinking that way, either.
Taylor watch as Troy moved to sit in the rocking chair, he kissed Bella's checks and smoothed her hair down. Taylor took that moment to move into the room and place her hands on Troy's shoulder, lightly squeezing it.
"So, I see you doing mommy's duties when I'm not around, huh?" Taylor teased.
Troy laughed and moved a hand over hers. "No just being a good uncle and giving you time to get ready for bed."
Taylor kneed down, and looked at the two, "Well thank you. I'm really happy you are here tonight." Taylor moved up to kiss his check and softly rub Bella's head.
"You know I will always be here for you, your my best friend. My family." Troy spoke softly. They both looked at each other for what seemed like hours, when they felt Bella, move a little.
"Let me put her down." Taylor whispered, she slide hand and arms with Troy's, making her heart flutter a she placed her baby girl in her crib, watching as she rubbed her face against Taylor's handmade silk pillow.
"Can she be more perfect?" Troy said, as he moved his hands on her shoulder.
"I know, sometimes I can't believe she is my little girl. She is so special, I can't believe I am lost her when Chad and I had that fight." Taylor said back.
"I remember, I never wanted to kick Chad's ass so much for that. I was so scared when the hospital called me." Troy moved closer to hug her from behind.
"Well, let's have some coffee, it getting really late and Chad hasn't called yet to let us know when he will be done." Taylor grabbed his head and lead him downstairs.
Around Midnight, Troy and Taylor started to get worried. Gabby nor Chad had called yet.
"I sure that just got held up.." Troy trailed off as he tried to convince Taylor and himself not to worry.
"Well, I can't wait. I going to call the hotel to see if they are ok." Taylor jumped up to grab the house phone when the doorbell rang.
"See, I told you Tay. It probably them drunk.." Troy said, laughing as he answered the door.
Taylor walked up with Troy to cuss them out for scaring her, when she saw a man and woman in a black uniform and badgets.
"Are you Troy Bolton and Taylor Danforth?" The policeman said.
Taylor heart jumped in her throat and Troy tremble sightly.
"Yes, that's us. Is everything okay, Officer's?" Troy asked weakly.
"I'm afraid not, their was an accident. A Gabriella Bolton and Chad Danforth were catch in a collusion. It seems they were leaving a 'Stars Motel' when a drunk driver rammed the car into a tree..." The police officer hesitated sightly when he didn't finish his sentence.
"Please tell me, is my husband okay... Is he at the hospital.. PLEASE TELL ME HE IS OKAY!!!" Taylor scream, crying. She had a feeling this was more than just a bad accident.
Troy shook as waited for the answer. "Please is my wife and best friend okay, Sir?"
"No, I'm afraid not. I'm sorry."
