Chapter 10:
'''''''''''''6 months later'''''''''''''
"Gabriella?" Troy asked as she cuddled in his arms on the Montez' couch. It was about nine o'clock at night on a Saturday and they were watching a movie.
"Yeah?" Gabriella answered and looked at her boyfriend of three months.
Troy started fidgeting nervously. He reached over and turned the off button on the remote and the television screen went black and silent. Gabriella ignored that it was her favorite part in the movie and turned all her attention to her boyfriend.
"Umm…. I've wanted to tell you this for the longest time, but I don't want to freak you out or anything." Troy stumbled on his words. Gabriella was the only person that could do this to him—leave his speechless. And, hell, she always put a dreamy look on his face even if she wasn't around.
"Go on," She urged, hoping to God that he wasn't about to break up with her.
"Iloveyou." Troy spat out really fast.
"Huh?" Gabriella said. He was talking so fast that she couldn't understand a thing.
"Uh… I-" Troy started but had a confidence boost when he looked at her beautiful face. "What I mean is… God, I love you."
Gabriella was speechless with joy. He just said those three words that every girl wants to hear from the man she head over heels for. She finally forced out truthful words when she saw the worried expression plastered on his face. "I love you too."
Troy leaned down to her and pressed his lips to hers in an Earth shattering kiss.
'''''''''''''''1 year after I love you''''''''''''''
"Can't you even consider my opinion?" Gabriella yelled at Troy. The couple was in the process of moving into a new apartment together.
"I just want to see the television from the couch!" Troy fought back. They were trying to set up the living room. Gabriella wanted the television in a spot that it looked pretty, but Troy wanted it in a place that wasn't as pretty but he could actually watch the television from the couch.
"Well, sorry if I want to talk to you without you watching some half-naked girl on the screen!" Gabriella screamed. Gabriella knew deep down that this was a stupid thing to argue about but from moving all of their stuff in the hot summer day she was not in the mood to be disagreed with.
"Babe, the purpose of a living room it to relax and watch TV! And I don't watch porn, I love you and I rather talk to you than watch TV any day." Troy said, trying to get her to cool off.
"Can we just go get some ice cream? I hate fighting with you, out the TV wherever you want it." Gabriella gave up.
"Ice cream sounds great." Troy said and opened the apartment door for Gabriella. As Gabriella walked under his arm, she kissed him on the lips. "Sorry, Babe"
Troy nodded as he grabbed her hand and walked along the sidewalk to the ice cream parlor a block away.
'''''''''''''1 ½ years after moving in troubles'''''''''''
"Oh…my…God…" Gabriella stumbled as she looked at her hand. "Troy…" She whispered to herself. Jumping out of bed, she ran down the stairs and to the kitchen. "Troy!" She yelled at the top of her lungs.
"Yes?" Troy drew out the word with a huge grin planted on his face.
"…" Gabriella couldn't think of any words, the shock was too overpowering. She just stood there with her mouth open and watched as Troy walked over to her. He came right in front of her and got down on one knee. Troy grasped her left hand and started to speak. "Gabriella Montez, I love you with all my heart and I cant picture myself with anyone else in the entire universe. I want to be able to call you my wife and have little Bolton's running around a house, I want you to be the woman they run up to and call mom. So, will you marry me?"
Gabriella had tears in her eyes and nodded, just causing her tears to pour even more. "Yes, a million times, yes" Gabriella said once she could speak.
Troy beamed and jumped up. He wrapped his muscular arms around her petite body and picked her up off the ground, spinning. After setting her back on her own two feet, he wiped away her tears of joy with the pad of his thumb. "I love you more than you could even imagine." Troy said a placed a kiss on her lips.
"I can imagine, because I love you even more." Gabriella said and pulled him in for a passionate kiss. He hands tangled in the hairs on the back of his neck as he walked forward a few steps. He pressed her up against the wall, and when the need for oxygen became to necessary, pulled away only to attack the soft skin on her neck.
"Doubt it." Troy mumbled against her skin.
'''''''''2 years later'''''''''''''''''
"Troy Alexander Bolton! I am going to kill you for doing this to me!" Gabriella screamed, emerging from the kitchen, her hand s on her 7 month pregnant stomach.
Troy just smiled from his place on the couch. "Mhmm." He mumbled and turned to look at his wobbling wife. He laughed inwardly.
"I cant even bend over enough to get the stupid cookie sheet out of the bottom cabinets! I just want some Gad damn cookies!!" Gabriella continued to rant.
Troy almost couldn't hold in his laughter. He got up off the couch and went over to his wife. "Babe, Only two more months, then you can get as many cookie sheets a you want."
Gabriella mood changed once again, something Troy was now used to. "Thanks honey." She said in an extremely sweet voice and hugged him tight. She pulled away and kissed his lips with as much passion as a pregnant woman could muster in the middle of a mood swing. Troy was still fighting his laughs.
Gabriella pulled back and almost skipped to the kitchen. Troy let himself laugh once he thought she was out of hearing range. "That woman is…. Gosh. Talk about mood swings." He mumbled, lopping back down on the couch.
"I heard that!" Gabriella's irrated voice called back from the kitchen.
"Here we go again." Troy sighed. Truthfully, he wanted nothing more than to see his wife pregnant, wobbling and all, once again. He couldn't wait until his first child was born and he was a father.
''''''''''''''4 years later''''''''''''
"Maci! Stop teasing him!" Gabriella called to her first born daughter that was now almost four years old.
"Yeah! What mommy said!" Jacob (twilight… tehe) teased his older sister, he was almost three and looked just like his father. Maci was the odd ball, she had bleach blonde hair and hazel eyes. She, even at the age of four, loved to try and play basketball with her father. Jacob, on the other hand, would rather sit inside and watch his mom cook with interest.
Gabriella giggled at her kids. A cry came from the bundle of blue blankets in her lap. She sighed and looked down into a pair of dark (emerald really) eyes. Gabriella grabbed a pacifier from the bag beside her and placed it in her newborn son's, Eli's, mouth. He had the greenest eyes she had even seen and jet black hair. She couldn't wait to see what her little boy would grow up to love.
Once Eli quieted down she rolled her head back and closed her eyelids. She was at the park with her three kids and Troy should have been meeting her here ten minutes ago. She felt a pair of lips on hers and recognized them instantly. He pulled away and she felt the bench give way when he sat next to her.
"You know our kids need to be kept an eye on, not have their mommy taking a nap." He said cockily.
"I'm not taking a nap! And I am listening very carefully. I didn't even close my eyes more than a minute ago." Gabriella pointed out and opened her eyes into her husbands whose were a breathtaking blue that she could never get tired of.
"So how is everybody?" Troy asked, he just got back from teaching basketball practice. He had taken over his dad's coaching job at East High and was currently leading the team to yet another championship. Gabriella worked as a science teacher at the school until Maci was born, then she became a stay at home mom and loved it. No work.
"Great." Gabriella said, "But Maci wants her dad to play some basketball with her." Gabriella smiled and looked down at her baby boy in her arms since he started to wiggle around.
Troy beamed and got up from the bench and jogged to his little girl. Maci was such a daddy's little girl and Jacob was attached to his mom at the hip. Gabriella couldn't wipe the smile off her face as Jacob came bounding towards her and Troy held Maci's little hand as they walked to the basketball court.
Jacob sat on the gras beside her feet and also shifted his gaze to his father and big sister. Maci was now on Troy's shoulders with a basket ball in her tiny hands. She reached up just a little bit and dropped the ball into the net. She clapped her hand s and giggled loudly. Troy's words for encouragement traveled all the way to Gabriella's ears, which (hearing wise) hadn't gotten better or worse. Gabriella was living in her own fairy tale, not with a mansion, fancy cars, or a million dollars, but a fairy tale in its own way.
The kind of fairytale Gabriella had always dreamed of.
