(A/N Hey hey hey first chapter of the sequel of Messed up and in Love. If you didn't read that story you should but you don't necessarily have to. This is the summary I have it takes place about 6 years after Troy left. Troy Bolton is coming home hoping to fix the past but is unprepared for everything that has changed. All his friends are ready to hate him but the one person who he wants to forgive him has or is it just indifference. He can't help but feel that he would rather have her hate him then feel nothing. As soon as he meets his kids that he left behind her falls for them and learns that being a dad isn't as easy as he thought. And what happens when he falls for the girl he left behind but she seems unable to trust him? What happens when tragedy hits them over and over? Will he ever earn her trust or love again and if he does will they make it together or will what happened in the past tear apart any chance they have for the future? It is a little vague but you get the point. If there is anything you want to see happen don't hesitate to tell me. Hope you like it.

Disclaimer- I own nothing…

24 year old Gabriella rolled over in her bed. When she moved her hand made contact with a warm body. She sleepily looked over and her eyes meet with a pair of big blue eyes. The eyes watched her and a giggle was emitted from the small body. Gabriella opened her eyes wider and saw the small girl sitting on her bed. 5 year old Haley with brown-reddish curls, bright blue eyes, and a smile with several missing teeth was grinning back at her. She was still in her pjs. Her brother was nowhere in sight at the moment at least.

"Mommy time to get up. We have school remember," Haley said poking her mother.

"Haley sweetie what time is it," Gabriella said.

"Umm the clock says six and zero and eight," Haley reported to her mother.

"Haley remember what mommy said we never wake up mommy so early," Gabriella said.

"But mommy we have to go to school and the diner and Uncle Chad is bringing us to school he promised and we can't be late," Haley exclaimed and Gabriella could tell she was getting ready to pout. Uncle Chad was to Haley and Hudson one of the greatest human beings to ever walk the earth of course Uncle Jess was up there too. Gabriella had stayed in Stars Hollow; it was where she planned to raise her kids. And she wasn't the only one who had stuck around. Chad and Taylor lived in town, too. Chad was a teacher at East High, also the basketball coach which they had all expected. Taylor was also a teacher at the high school. They were also married but didn't have any kids yet. Zeke and Sharpay lived in Hartford where he ran a bakery and she worked at a drama school. Ryan lived in New York the furthest away but he always came to visit. Jason and Kelsi lived in Stars Hollow. Jason worked at a construction company in Hartford while Kelsi ran a day care. Jess had moved out of the house and lived in an apartment nearby instead. He and Gabriella ran the diner together which came in handy because he could open up early when she had to get the kids up. Luke had left Stars Hollow 4 years ago with the woman he had been dating since Gabriella had given birth. Gabriella liked Lorelei and was happy for her dad. He had left her the house and the diner to her and Jess to take care of while he moved up to Maine. She missed him but he called and visited so it was okay. Jack and Cathy lived next door and where awesome grandparents even though they spoiled them way too much.

"Haley where is your brother," Gabriella said running her hands through her hair.

"Sleeping I'll go wake him up," Haley said jumping off the bed and running down the hall to her brothers room.

"No Haley," Gabriella said too late. She groaned and got up. She walked down the hall to Hudson's room. Haley was jumping on the bed around her brother. Gabriella reached out and grabbed the small girl and put her down on the floor.

"Go get your clothes for school they are on your bureau meet you in five minutes in the bathroom," Gabriella told her.

"Kay," Haley grinned racing off. Of course Haley had no real perception of time so Gabriella was sure she had plenty of time. She sat down on the bed and pulled the covers gently down. Soon she was looking into Hudson's own set of bright blue eyes. He took a little longer to get up so she wasn't surprised he was still asleep while his sister was running around like she had drank a whole two liter of soda.

"Hello Hudson," she said.

"Hi Mommy. Haley woke me up," he said with a sigh.

"I know she is such a nut huh," she answered. He smiled and she felt a pang in her heart. He had Troy's smile even at this age. She ran her hands through his short soft curls. She kissed him softly on the forehead and got up.

"Hey I'll come and get you in a few but you can sleep again if you want," she told him. He nodded and closed his eyes. She left the room and went down to the bathroom and looked in. Haley was sitting on the floor patiently waiting clothes in her lap.

"Hello little lady," Gabriella said. Haley immediately got up and held out the clothes to her mother. Gabriella sighed so started another day. It was later at about seven thirty when they finally made it to the diner that she had a moment to breath.

"Hey Uncle Jess," Haley said as she pounced into the diner her mother and brother behind her.

"Hello Miss Haley," Jess said grinning at her. Haley went and sat at her usual table and Hudson joined her still tired. Gabriella walked over to the diner counter and grabbed her apron putting it on quickly. She gave the two kids breakfast and went behind the counter pulling her shoulder length curls up into a pony tail. She had cut her hair when she realized that babies love to grab hair and had kept it that way ever since. She hadn't grown much at all over the years although Taylor was always telling her that she had a very sexy shape if she just would show it off. Gabriella wasn't worried about all that though she was focused on two people and those two people didn't care how she looked. Chad came into the diner after they ate and Hudson managed to perk up.

"Hey Uncle Chad," the twins said in unison and Chad grinned. He was taller now but still the same in every way only he looked older which was to be expected.

"Hello troublemakers what's up," he said going over to them.

"Nothing much dude," Haley said and Chad laughed.

"Oh really, cool my lady," he answered.

"Haley woke me up. She jumped on me," Hudson said.

"Oh really now Haley why did you do that," Chad asked.

"I don't know," she said shrugging.

"Well you better say sorry because what if he came and woke you up or what if I came and jumped on your bed waking you up," Chad said.

"You would break the bed," Haley exclaimed.

"And then Uncle Chad would have to buy a new one," Gabriella said going over to them.

"Hey I didn't say I was going to do it," he said and she rolled her eyes. The two kids got up and kissed their mother.

"Be good okay and I'll come pick you up after school okay," Gabriella said.

"Got ya love ya Mommy," Haley said.

"Love ya Mum," Hudson said following his sister.

"Love you too," she said.

"Bye Uncle Chad," Gabriella said grinning.

"Bye Mommy," Chad said winking at her. She watched them go outside and Chad grabbed one of their smaller hands each in his. They went past the diner and she watched already missing them.

"Bye babies," she said smiling to herself.

TROYELLA

24 year old Troy Bolton listened as his boss rambled on and on. His soon to be ex boss which was exactly why he was rambling.

"I mean have you really thought this through Bolton," Adam said to him.

"Yes I have trust me I have been thinking about it for a long long time," Troy said.

"Well I really don't think it is one of your best ideas," Adam said.

"Of course you don't but you know that's how it goes I guess," Troy said getting up from the chair. He left Adam's office and went to his own desk where it was already half packed. He looked over and saw a scowling face watching him.

"Not you, too," he said with grin.

"Yes me. too. I am your partner you ass," the scowling tall blonde said. He grinned at her and shook his head. His partner was a tall blonde girl with deep hazel eyes. She was a force to be reckoned with and could be annoying to the point of driving someone crazy.

"Well it looks like you are going to be reassigned," Troy said.

"Nope just relocated," she answered.

"What are you talking about Jane," he said frowning.

"Well you didn't except me to let you go over to Hartford all be yourself now did you," she said with a grin.

"Jane no no no," he said.

"Troy yes yes yes," she said.

"You are such a trouble maker," he said sitting in his chair. She got up and walked over to him. Jane and Troy had been partners at the police station where they worked since they both left the academy at the young age of 20. Troy had come to California with dreams of basketball but after an accident that injured his knee he had thrown basketball away after a long time of thought. He was now transferring from California to Hartford, Connecticut but he planned to rent an apartment in Stars Hollow. After all these years he was going home but the thing was he had no idea if anyone would be there for him to see.

"So is it a girl Troy Bolton," Jane said.

"What are you talking about," he asked her.

"This trip I think I deserve to know is this all for a girl," Jane said.

"It's not a trip I am going home and in a way I guess," he answered.

"Oh really," Jane said.

"Yep but this girl well I have a feeling she isn't going to be interested in seeing me at all," Troy said.

"I find that hard to believe," Jane said and he smiled.

"Well believe it she probably has voo doo dolls and curses on me," Troy said.

"Wow," Jane exclaimed.

"Trust me I deserve it after what I did to her I deserve it," Troy sighed.

"Well you're going back now maybe it's not too late," she said.

"Yeah I hope so," Troy said.

(A/N Hopefully you didn't hate that too much but that was just to start us up. Don't worry what happened with Troy is going to be explained better later. In the next chapter he is home and the gang finds out. They try their best to scare him off afraid of what will happen if he gets close to Gabriella again but she will surprise all of them in the way she reacts to him being back.
