She turned to her side and looked in the mirror. This was suitable for teaching 2nd graders right? She put her hands on her hips and sighed at the mirror. Tomorrow was her first day, she wanted to look good. She pulled her dress off and hung it back up in the closet.

"Hey babe?" He heard him call.

"In here." She called back. Troy placed his bag on the bed and walked into the closet.

"Im getting ready to go." He told her.

Troy was getting back to the player he used to be. The team was playing a few games away this week so hes going to go with them to get back into the swing of things.

Gabriella moved her hands up around his neck and kissed him. She closed her eyes and put her forehead against his.

"Im going to miss you." She told him. He sighed and exhaled deeply.

"Im going to miss you too." He told her. She put her head on his shoulder and held him tight.

"You are going to do great tomorrow Ella." He told her kissing her head.

"I hope so." She said. She pulled her head off of his chest and looked back into his eyes. Troy ran his hand through her hair.

"Ill be back in five days." He told her. "We spent two years apart. This is nothing." He explained to her.

"I know but that was different circumstances." She told him. He smiled.

"Ill call you when we land." He said. She kissed him again.

"Be careful." She warned him. "Dont over do it." He laughed.

"I promise I wont."

"I swear if you get hurt over there I will fly down and beat your ass." She warned him. He laughed.

"Please do." She kissed him one last time.

"Get out." She smiled. Troy grabbed the bag off of the bed and slung it over his shoulder. He turned back to his wife and smiled.

"I liked the green dress." He told her and walked out.

Gabriella sighed and turned back to the closet. She missed this closet so much. She had no idea how she made it through two years without it. All of her clothes fit perfectly, with still some room left for new things. The green dress was laying on the floor among the other dresses that she didnt like. She picked it up and tried it back on. Stepping in front of the mirror she took a long look at herself again. Definitely the green dress.


The ABC border lined the back of the class room. There was a chart with every kids name on it with the different jobs they have. Line leader, board eraser, book picker upper. The last teacher who retired in the middle of the year really kept things organized. Gabriella put her bag down at the seat of her new desk. It was empty except for the grade book and calendar sitting waiting to be used on the desk. Gabriella opened her bag and put a picture of her and Troy in the corner, and a picture of the gang on the other corner.

The desks were in a semi circle. Gabriella walked around the circle and looked at everyones names. There were about 16 desks and chairs.

Brian, Kristen, Lucas, Ally, Ashley, Ben, were just some of the names of her new students. The names tags had little frogs on them.

Gabriella walked to the white board and wrote MRS. BOLTON in cursive. She snapped the cap back on the marker and turned around. In less then 20 minutes, she will be an actual teacher.


The knock on the door made the coach look up. He waved him in and the door opened.

"Well, well, Troy Bolton." Coach said when Troy came in. He was wearing a black lettermen jacket and the bag was slung around his shoulder.

"Hey Coach." Troy said taking a seat across from him.

"Im guessing you got my email." said Coach. Troy nodded.

"Im ready." Troy told him. Coach looked at Troy.

"You sure about that?" he asked. Troy nodded.

"I know I have had a rough few months, but my life is together again, Im ready to take on this part." Troy explained to Coach.

"What did the doctors say?" Coach asked. Troy sighed.

"Does it matter what the doctors say? They are wrong half the time anyway." Troy told him. Coach gave him the 'I dont think so look'. Troy sighed again. "The doctors said to not do to much to fast." Troy explained to him. Coach nodded. "I want to play.

"I know you do son." Coach said standing up. "We have to get that leg better in order to do that."

"It is almost better, Im moving around fine. Ive been working with the trainer and I went to physical therapy. Chads been helping me out with my skill." Troys list went on.

"Troy, I have seen a lot of people end their basketball career because they do to much to fast. And its stupid." Coach explained to him. "Give it a few more weeks and maybe Ill let you play." Troy sighed. He wanted to play right now. On this trip.

"Coach, Im telling you Im ready." Troy pleaded.

"And Im telling you not to do something stupid to lose it all. You are an amazing player, maybe go to the NBA one day, but none of that is going to happen if you dont listen to me. Are we clear?" Coach asked. Troy nodded.

"Yes sir." Coach nodded. He walked back around his desk and put his baseball cap on and jacket.

'Get on the bus."


"So this is what its like to be in second grade again?" The blonde asked taking a step inside the colorful classroom. The brunette looked up from her book and was surprised on who she saw.

"What are you doing here?" Gabriella asked standing up from her seat. Sharpay walked over to hug her.

"I was going to take you out to lunch for your first day of work." Shapray told her. Gabriella smiled. "I can take you out right?" Sharpay asked her. Gabriella nodded.

"Yeah, the kids have lunch and recess so I have an hour lunch break, it started five minutes ago." Sharpay smiled.

"Alright so come on working girl. Lets eat."

There was a little outdoor cafe that Sharpay and Gabriella loved to eat at in high school. They had the best BLT sandwiches around.

"So hows your first day so far?" Sharpay asked Gabriella as she took a sip of her soda.

"Really good. Im just happy I have a easy name for these kids. Some of the other teachers names are really hard to pronounce." Sharpay laughed. "But the kdis are so good and very cute." Gabriella awed.

"Well, its only the first day, that will wear off quick." Gabriella giggled.

"So hows the man?" Sharpay asked. Gabriella smiled.

"Hes good." She told her. "But hes gone for five days." She told her.

"Why?"

"Basketball, he went to Chicago with the team for a line up of games they have. I know hes not going to play at all though because of his leg." Gabriella explained.

"Hows he doing?" Sharpay asked.

"He says hes fine and it doesnt hurt at all. I dont believe a word that comes out of his mouth. Its hurting him and he just wont admit it." Gabriella told her.

"Troys tough though. He'll get through it." Gabriella smiled a little.

"I know he will, Im just a little worried about him thats all." She told him.

The waitress brought over the BLTs for both Sharpay and Gabriella. Gabriella was just about to bite into hers when her phone rang.

'Hello?" She asked.

"Hey baby."

"Hey" Gabriella smiled. "You got there ok?" She asked.

"Yeah we are just getting settled in the hotel now." Troy told her. "Hows the first day so far?"

"Its really good. But I can tell you all about it later." Gabriella told him

"Thats good babe." Troy told her. "I miss you." Gabriella sighed.

"Oh, I miss you to." She told him.

"Ill call you later?" Troy asked her. She nodded to herself.

"Yeah." She said.

"I love you." Troy told her.

"I love you to. Bye." She pressed end on her phone and put it back in her bag.

"Everything ok?" Sharpay asked.

"Oh yeah, every things fine." Gabriella told her. "Lets eat, Im starving."


The bag was unpacked and thrown on the floor. He crawled on the bed and turned the TV on.

"YO." Chad told him. "Turn it down, Im calling Taylor." Troy turned the TV down and watched the sports highlights he missed last night. Chad hung up the phone and laid down. They had a few hours before they had to be at the first game.

"So did you call your wife?" Chad joked.

"Yes I did." Troy told him. Chad laughed.

"How is it going?" Chad asked.

"Really good." Troy told him. "Actually," Troy got off of his bed and walked over to his coat and pulled out a little black box and threw it at Chad. Chad held it in his hands and looked back up at Troy.

"Oh my god," Chad whispered. "I dont know what to say...Yes Ill marry you." Chad joked.

"Quit being an ass." Troy told him. "Just open it." Chad opened the box and in the box was a three cart engagement ring.

"Wow." Chad exclaimed when he opened it. "Thats a really nice ring." Troy smiled.

"Im going to ask her to marry me." Troy told him.

"Again?" Chad asked.

"She never got an engagement ring. I never gave her one. We rushed into it." Troy told Chad sitting on the end of the bed. "We never got married in front of our friends and family like we talked about doing. Then things happened, and the wedding never took place." Troy told him. Chad nodded.

"Shes going to love it man." Chad told him handing the box back to her. "How are you going to ask her?" Troy smiled.

"I actually havent figured it out yet." He told him. "But I have an idea."


The kids all lined up at the door, waiting for that bell to ring. The three foot students with there spiderman and hannah montana backpacks just waiting to get out. Finally the bell rang and they were gone for the weekend.

"Bye Mrs. Bolton!!!" The kids yelled as they ran out the door.

"Bye guys, be good." She told them and walked back over to her desk and quickly packed some things up.

Troy was coming home tonight and she had to get home to get ready. She walked out to her car and drove home. Gabriella went home and straightened the house up a little bit and stripped down and lit a few candles and took a nice, soothing bath. She closed her eyes and listened to the water run.

It was peaceful, really peaceful. But when something is really peaceful and quite, Gabriella starts to think, and when she starts to think, she gets worried.

She thought about her and Troys next step in their marriage. They both have careers and Troy has the basketball dream. He wants to make it in the NBA and Gabriella wants him to make it too. That was a dream of his since he was a little kid, and she wanted to support him with that.

They have a good life together so far, a nice house, great friends and family. Family. The family thing was something that scared her a little.

Gabriella knew that both her and Troy were going to make amazing parents. He loves kids and so does she. But that event that happened years ago still haunts Gabriella. What if she gets pregnant and the same thing happens again? She doesnt know if she could go through all of that again. The last time it happened it broke Troy and Gabriella apart. What if it happens again and the same exact thing happens? She wants kids. She wants a little blonde boy with Troys big blue eyes who loves basketball as much as his daddy does. She wants a little girl with big curly locks and those big brown eyes that likes to read. She wants that. More then anything.

Gabriella knows that thats the next step in their marriage is children. Her heart is ready, but her head tells her something else.

Gabriella drained the water out and stepped out of the tub. Gabriella dried her hair and slipped into her silk night gown with the red lace. She put a little sweater over her shoulders too. Gabriella left Troy a note on the table downstairs telling him she was upstairs. Gabriella rushed around a lit a few candles in the room and dimmed the lights.

By now its around 6. Troy told her he would be home around 630 or 7. Gabriella got comfortable in bed and opened a book while she waited.

Gabriella closed the book. She finished it. She turned her head, it was eight thirty. Where was he? She was a little worried. She called his cell phone to see where he was.

"Hello?" his voice came on.

"Where are you?" She asked him.

"Im sorry, Our flight got delayed because of the rain. Im in the car now, Ill be home in five minutes." He told her.

"Ok." She hung up the phone and waited for him to come upstairs. She heard the front door open and he called her name.

"Babe. Im home." Troy called when he got in the house. There was no answer from her. he walked into the living room.

"Ella?" he asked. Nothing. He walked upstairs and opened the door to their bedroom. There on the bed was his beautiful wife.

"Wow" he sighs when he sees her. She got off the bed and walked over to him without saying a word and kisses him hard. His hands land on her lower back and lowers her on the bed. He kisses her deeper.

"God I missed you so much." Troy told her.

"Dont say anything." She told him. "Just kiss me." She kissed him and her hands pulled his jacket off. Then her hands moved down his stomach and unbuttoned her stomach. She ran her hands through his wet hair from the rain outside. He gently kissed his way down her neck as Gabriella kept the moans in. He kissed his way back up her neck and kissed her lips again. He picked her up and rested her head on the pillow. She smiled as she looked at her husband. He put his chin on her stomach and looked into her eyes.

"I missed you so much." She told him. He put his head on her stomach and kissed it.

"You have no idea." Troy told her pushing himself up to kiss her again. He rolled over on his back and Gabriella was on top of him. Her hands rested on his cheeks as she kissed him.

"I love you Gabriella Bolton." Troy told her placing a hand on her hip. She kisses him again.

"I love you too."
