A/N: Hey guys. I'm sorry this story was just deleted. Something went wrong and I had to delete it, but I just fixed it and the story's back now. I've decided to delete the second chapter since it was all about the Danforth family. But they will be in the story eventually. Please R&R.

Summary: It is about the Wildcats all grown up and their daily lives with their families. It's filled with lots of drama and fluff. This story is mainly focused on the Bolton family, with some really, small moments of the rest of the gang.

The Wildcats: All Grown Up

Chapter 1

It was a clear blue October morning. The sun was shining and the birds were chipping. It was a quiet morning in the Bolton household. A bit little too quiet. Gabriella was already in the kitchen making coffee and breakfast while she had her husband, Troy, wake up all their kids. She enjoyed the quietness while she could. She sipped her coffee while she flipped the pancakes over.

Troy was upstairs in the mean time trying to get their kids up. He knocked on one bedroom door. After not hearing anything, he turned the knob and walked in. The room was dark. All you saw was books lying all over the floor and clothes draped over the desk chair. Troy walked up to the window and opened the blinds. The sun was now shining brightly in the room. Troy heard a groan and smiled. A head poked out of the comforter. Troy could see his son's head clearly now. He seemed to be drooling on his pillow. Troy chuckled and shook him awake. Nathan woke with a start. He was known to be a light sleeper. He rubbed his eyes and looked at his dad.
"Dad, go away. Five more minutes of sleep" Nathan mumbled.

" I don't think so. You should of not have been late out last night with Rachel. That's your problem" Troy replied.

" I couldn't help it. We had so much fun. I love spending every single minute with her. She's so beautiful," Nathan said getting out of bed revealing his boxers. Troy looked at his son. He was an exact replica of Troy. He had the same sandy blond hair that fell in front of his eyes, piercing blue eyes that made all the girls melt, and a very toned body.

"I know how you feel. It was the same with your mom and me" Troy said looking dazed thinking about the good old days. Nathan gave him a look. "But that still doesn't mean for you to stay up late and wake up late in the morning. If you do, your mom and I will lower you curfew hour. Got it?" Troy said, now back in dad mode.

"Yes, dad. Now, can you please leave so I can dress?" Nathan replied, walking over to his dresser.

"Sure. Oh, and another thing. Clean up your room. It's a mess," Troy said, as he walked out the door and closed it behind him. He went to the next bedroom. He knocked, but didn't hear anything, so he opened the door to find his oldest daughter Kayla, in only her bra and panties.
"Dad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"Kayla screamed, causing the light on the ceiling to shake. Troy covered his eyes.

"Why didn't you say something then to let me know you were awake?" Troy said wanting to puck, after seeing his daughter practically naked.

"I was busy getting ready, I didn't hear you" Kayla said throwing a shirt and pants on. Troy lowered his hands from his eyes. Troy stared at Kayla. She was so beautiful. Kayla was a mixture of both Troy and Gabriella. She had his piercing blue eyes and his nose, while she had her mother's slim body and long brown curly hair.

"Why are you staring at me?" Kayla asked, brushing out her hair while looking in the mirror. Troy broke out of his trance.

"You just look so much like you mother" Troy answered.

"I'm nothing like mom. She's too quiet, and never takes charge of anything" Kayla said as she brushed out the final knot in her hair.

"That's not true. Your mother is the best person I know. Now, hurry up and get dressed. And remember, you mom and me are going out tonight so you and Nate are watching your younger siblings" Troy snapped walking out the door. Troy shook his head and went to his daughter Megan's room only to find she was already up and on her computer. As part of the curriculum at East High and Middle, every kid required a laptop. It was hard on them to pull the money together, because they had three kids to buy for, but they managed. By the time he got to the youngest two kid's doors, they were already downstairs. Troy finally went downstairs and greeted his family. He kissed his wife only to have his kids say get a room. He laughed. As they all started to eat breakfast, Kayla came down the stairs in a really short mini skirt and a tanktop revealing half her stomach. There was also a red star ring hanging from her bellybutton. Troy and Nathan choked on their pancakes. They gaped at her. She just smiled and sat down. When Troy finally was able to speak he said in a demanding tone, " What in the world are you wearing? What in blue blazes is in your bellybutton? " Gabby just looked tired and distressed. She didn't get much sleep last night and was tired of having to deal with Kayla and her choice of fashion. This was the fourth time this week. The rest of the kids stayed quiet. They just sat and ate their breakfast, and watched the scene unfold. They knew what was about to erupt.

"It's called a belly ring and clothes dad" Kayla replied with a roll of the eyes as she started buttering her toast.

" I know what's it is. Why is it there? You're only fourteen, so I know your mother didn't give you permission. And that's not clothes. That's lingerie," Troy said as he looked to his son and wife for help. They just shook their heads.

"Dad, please. I just did it with Lauren last week. A couple of guys did it for us. It's no big deal. And this is not lingerie. I can get some lingerie and show you what it looks like if you want" She said as she looked at her mother. "But I'm sure you already know from mom"

" What your mother has is none of your business. We are talking about you! How could you do that to your body? Who are these guys? I'm going to kill them. I'm also going to have a talk with your uncle Zeke and aunt Sharpay" Troy roared.

"It's my body. I can do what the hell I want with it" Kayla shouted.

"It belongs to me until your eighteen. So, I choose what goes on it and don't go swearing at me young lady" Troy shot back.

"I can't have you dress like that Kay. Every guy wants you! Your number one on East High's list of girl's that guys want to bang" Nathan growled.

"She's what?" Troy demanded throwing his fist down on the table. Everyone flinched. Everyone knew not to get Troy Bolton angry. He had a very quick temper.

"Yea, every guy wants to bang her. Even some of my friends" Nate calmly replied, finishing his breakfast.

"Really? Cool. Guys finally like me. It's about time," Kayla, said smiling as she put her dish in the sink.

"Guys, have liked you ever since you could walk Kay. Dad and me just kept them away from you by threating them" Nate said, throwing his backpack over his shoulder.

"You what? Why? All my life, I been thinking that I'm too ugly or fat for guys to like" Kayla cried.

"You thought that? Of course you're not. You're too beautiful for your own good. Do you know how many threats I give out everyday because of you? Like I said, every guy wants you. Plus being the son of 'Troy Bolton' doesn't help" Nathan replied, looking to his dad, waiting for his him to say something. Kayla just laughed.

"You think this is funny? Well, it's not. I hate having my baby girl be the distraction for the guys on the team. It's sickening. I'm always yelling at them, heck I even had to bench a few players because they were thinking of ways to seduce you or arguing about whose going to do you first. Now, go and change into real clothes. Oh, and your grounded" Troy demanded getting up from the table.

"What? For what?" Kayla cried.

"For talking back and getting your bellybutton pierced. Now move" Troy demanded. Kayla grudgingly went up the stairs mumbling " I can't believe my father. What an asshole! And people say he was the hottie and most popular guy at East High"

The little kids kept their mouths shut, kissed their father goodbye, and decided to wait in their mother's SUV. Nathan went and warmed up Troy's car.

"I can't believe our daughter. How could she do this? I'm going to kill those guys," Troy said as he picked up his briefcase and put it on the table.

"Troy, she's just testing her boundaries. She's a teenager. It's expected" Gabby sighed while cleaning the dishes.

"But, I never did these things as a teen. Neither did you" Troy replied.

"Yes, but your not a girl. We have to be careful with her honey or we could lose her" Gabby responded.

"I guess your right as usual. But I don't like how she's on that list" Troy said while fixing his tie.

"Neither do I. I was never on it" Gabby said quietly.

"Yes, you were. That's why I never let you see the list. That's why guys were always hitting on you, and I had to glare at them," Troy said indiculously. " You were also number one on the list at school. You carry to much beauty for you own good. You and Kayla. I now have to watch out for Megan and Sarah. But at least Meg is into basketball and not guys" Troy growled.

" Yes, for now Troy. Wait, till she's Kayla's age. Guys will be all over her. She looks exactly like me. Including the beautiful chocolate brown eyes you love so much" Gabby smirked.

"Yes, I know. Don't remind me," Troy said. Troy walked over to Gabby, wrapped his arms around her, and kissed her. She responded, and kissed back. They kissed for a few minutes before Troy went for her neck. He hit her sensitive spot and Gabby moaned. "You're still the most sexiest women out their even after having five kids" He murmured against her neck. Gabby laughed. Kayla walked back in at this point and cried, "Stop sucking face" Troy and Gabby broke apart and looked at their daughter. It seemed she grew into a young women overnight. Troy missed his baby girl who only had eyes for her dad. Now she wanted to date boys. She had changed into a pair of jeans and a snug tee shirt.

"See, much better" they said unison.

"Yea, whatever. Let's go dad" she replied. Troy sighed and kissed his wife one last time, they separated, and went into their own cars and took off towards school.

When they arrived at East High, Kayla automatically went to her friends with out as much as a goodbye. Troy and Nate decided to go to the gym to play some hoops since it was only 7:00am. They ran a few drills then went to shower.

When the time came closer to homeroom, Nate went to his locker to meet his girlfriend. Troy made his way towards his classroom. As he walked down the hall, he saw Kayla at her locker, chatting with some friends, and boys leering at her from behind. Troy turned towards them and glared. They all backed away and went to homeroom. Troy entered homeroom to find a few kids already sitting down. He smiled at them and sat down waiting for the bell to ring. Kayla and her friends walked in just after the last bell rung. They took their seats quickly thinking Mr.Bolton wouldn't notice.

"That better not happen again Miss.Bolton, Miss. Hathaway, and Miss. Forest or it will be detention" Mr. Bolton said, giving his daughter a disapproving look. Kayla just rolled her eyes. "Miss. Bolton, see me after homeroom" Troy said, looking for the attendance sheet.

"For what? What the hell did I just do da-I mean Mr. Bolton" Kayla demanded getting up from her seat. Everyone snickered.

"For backtalking to me. Now sit" Mr. Bolton demanded. Kayla reluctantly took her seat. Troy took attendance and made announcements. When the bell rung, he called Kayla up. She slowly walked up to his desk.

"Kayla, I don't know what your problem is lately, but your mother and I are sick of it. It better stop. Got it?" Troy said.

"Yes, Dad. Can I go?" Kayla asked in a bored tone.

"Yes, and quit the attitude. It's getting old" Troy snapped. There were a few kids still hanging around waiting for Kayla, watching the father- daughter pair go at it. Troy and Kayla didn't notice them. Troy was too busy yelling at his daughter.

"I don't have an attitude. Besides, Lauren gives a bigger one to Aunt Sharpay and Uncle Zeke" Kayla shouted.

"I could care less. You aunt also is known to be more lenient. Now remember, wait for Nate after school because he is driving you home, your mom and me are going to dinner tonight" Troy replied, suprisingly calm.

"Why? So you and mom can suck more face" Kayla answered sweetly. Everyone in the room, which was the kids from Troy's English class now, gasped. Troy didn't hear them, as he was focusing on he daughter. He got dangerously close to her. Everyone thought that he was going to slap her across that face. She slowly backed up, now scared of what her father might do. Troy never had hit his kids before, but it seemed that this time that he would just snap. Gabriella walked into the room just in time.

"Troy, I need you-" Gabby started to say till she look at Troy, who had their daughter backed up against the wall and shaking. Troy was looking menacingly at her. Troy didn't even turn around when he heard his wife call his name. He was too furious with his daughter. Gabby told the kids to wait outside. Some kids stayed around in case something happened. Gabby walked up towards Troy and tried to pull him back. He turned around and glared at his wife.

"Gabby, stay away from me. Or I'll hit you too. I've had enough of her backtalk. She needs a slap" Troy hissed, grabbing his daughter's arm.
"Troy, what good will it do? Now, back away from her" Gabby tried again to pull him back but he just turned around and slapped his wife across the face. Kayla started crying. Gabby backed up from Troy, and looked at him in shock. He didn't look like her husband. His blue eyes seemed to turn to red and his body was glowing with anger. Gabby told one of the kids to find Mr.Danforth, Mrs. Baylor, and Mrs. Danforth. They ran to get them. Troy attention was still on his daughter who was now sobbing.

"Awww… poor baby….now you act like a child when you want to. I see how it is. Well toughen up" Troy growled. He walked closer to her, brought his hand back and slapped her hard across the face leaving a red mark on her cheek. She whimpered and slid down to the floor. Gabby went over to her daughter, to comfort her, only to have Troy slap Gabby again. She cried out from the pain.

"I told you to leave her alone. Now, stay away from her" Troy shouted.

The door busted opened. Chad ran to hold Troy back from his wife and daughter, while Taylor and Sharpay ran to Gabby and Kayla.

"Troy, what the hell are you doing? You're hurting you wife and daughter. This isn't you" Chad cried. Troy stopped struggling in Chad's arms after Chad just said that he hurt Gabby. He just looked like he was in a trance. He looked around the room. He saw his wife, his Gabby, sobbing holding onto Kayla and Taylor. Her face was red from crying and she had a handprint on her cheek. Sharpay was holding onto his daughter who was crying and shaking. Kayla had a red mark on her cheek and had bloodshot eyes. His face softened and he stepped towards Gabby. She crawled away from him and sobbed harder into Taylor's shoulder.

"Troy, stay away from them. Let's go and have a talk"Chad said firmly pulling Troy out of the room. They stepped out into the hall to find his English class, staring at Troy. Troy just stared back. He was at a loss of words for what just happened in there. They all looked frightened. Chad told them to go to the cafeteria. Troy slid down the wall and put his head in his hands.

"Troy, what happened?" Chad calmly asked.

"I just lost it. Kayla came downstairs this morning, dressed like a slut, for like the fourth time this week, and she got her bellybutton pierced by a couple of random guys. She gave us a lot of backtalk. Then in homeroom, she came in late with her friends, so I said next time it's detention. She gave more backtalk, so I told her to stay after homeroom. I told her she needed to quit with the attitude but she gave even more backtalk, and said that Lauren gives Zeke and Sharpay more attitude. I said that her mother and me were going out tonight, then in front of my class she said 'Why? So you and mom can suck more face'. I just lost it. Then Gabby can in to pull me back but I hit her too" Troy was now, sobbing. Chad pulled Troy into a hug.

"Hey, it's going to be ok. They just need time. I know you didn't mean for this to happen" Chad said.

"You didn't see Gabby's face when she looked at me after I hit her the first time. She looked like she didn't even know me" Troy cried harder into Chad's sleeve.

"You hit Gabby twice? Geez, Troy. Troy, she looked at you like that because you have never hit her or the kids before. So yeah, it was like you were a different person" Chad replied.

" I hope she will forgive me. I can't lose her. I love her" Troy said quietly after he stopped crying.

"She will, now come on. Let's go back in" Chad stated, picking Troy off the floor, and walked back into the classroom. Gabby and Kayla had stopped crying. They had heard Troy's speech and him crying. They just looked at Troy. Troy slowly walked towards them. They slowly walked up to him. Gabby finally ran into his arms and cried. Chad told Taylor and Sharpay to give them a few minutes alone. After they left, Troy said, " I'm so sorry Gabby. I just lost it. I love you so much. Please don't leave me" Gabby slowly stopped crying.

"I'm not leaving you, don't worry. I love you too. But you have to promise to never hurt me or any of the kids again" Gabby said.

"I promise Gabby" Troy said staring into her chocolate eyes. They kissed. Troy then looked at his daughter. He pulled her into a hug.

"I'm sorry Kay. So, sorry"Troy said.

"It's ok dad. It's my fault. I was backtalking. I'm sorry" Kayla whispered into his ear, then kissed him on the cheek. Troy pulled out of the hug and placed his hand gingerly on his daughter's cheek. She winced.

"Are you sure you're ok?" Troy asked.

"I'm fine" Kayla replied. Troy stepped to his wife and placed his hand gently on her cheek. She leaned into his touch.

"Are you ok, Gabby? There's a handprint" Troy said.

"I'm fine" she replied. They stood up and hugged each other. Troy sent Kayla to her next class. Troy and Gabby went back to teaching their classes.

Lunchtime came quickly. By now, most of the school knew what had happened between Mr. Bolton, his wife and daughter. Kayla walked into the cafeteria and took a seat. Nathan walked up to her, after awhile.

"Why did you make up that lie about dad? So, you can get more attention? You know dad would never do that" Nathan shouted.

"Yes, he did. I don't want to talk about it" Kayla replied.

"That's because you know it's not true" Nathan shot back. By now, the whole cafeteria was watching them. They didn't pay attention.

"You want proof? Here" She showed him her cheek. The cafeteria gasped, quietly.

"That's not proof. You probably did that to yourself" Nathan replied.

"He hit mom too. After he hit me," Kayla cried.

"Now, I know that's a lie. Dad loves mom. He would never hurt her," Nathan said, pushing his hair out of his eyes.

"It's not a lie," Kayla was crying, now. The doors of the cafeteria opened, and everyone turned to see Mr. Bolton walk though. He walked up to Kayla and Nathan.

"Kay, what's the matter? Why are you crying?" Troy asked concerned. He sat down next to Kayla and put his arm around her. She cried into his chest.

"Nat- " Kayla started after wiping away some of her tears.

"She's making up a terrible lie about you. She said that you hit mom and her" Nathan growled. Troy put his head down.
"It's true. I did it, but I didn't mean too. I just lost it" Troy whispered.

"You…hit Kayla…and mom of all people" Nathan said indiculously. Everyone gasped and stared at Troy.

"Yea" Troy whispered barely audible.

"How could you? Dad, I looked up to you. I guess even the famous 'Troy Bolton' has problems" Nathan shouted. The doors opened again, and in walked, Gabby. Everyone turned towards her. She walked up too Nathan.

"Nathan, why are you shouting at your dad?" Gabby yelled. At this point, they didn't care anymore if people heard their family problems. Nathan just stared at her cheek. It still has a handprint on it.

"Dad hit you. That's why" Nathan cried. Gabby just looked to Troy then Kayla, and back to Nathan.

" Nate, he didn't mean it. It was an accident; we can talk more about this at home. But that doesn't mean you give your father disrespect" Gabriella replied firmly.

"But-" Nate tried.

"No, buts. Now, I say we all go home now and rest. Now move" Gabby demanded. Everyone didn't dare say a word. They just watched as the Bolton's walked out of the cafeteria.
