Forever Loved
Epilogue:
Two Years Later...


Two years was all it took. Two years to rebuild their relationship, and become a real family. They wouldn't want their lives any other way.
It took a year to rebuild their relationship and get married.
Troy and Gabriella were happier than ever. They made lots of changes to their lives, including their children's lives.
Troy and Gabriella both sold their homes in San Francisco and moved to a much quieter estate in Boulder, Colorado. Brittany's grandmother, Lauren's mother; Danielle, had grown to love Gabriella and was very involved in the family's life. Danielle was still upset about her daughter's passing, but found comfort seeing Troy and Brittany happy.
It was a nice house. Brittany and Peyton loved it. That was really all that mattered.
They had bought the house for their girls, not them.

It was a seven bedroom home, with six bathrooms. It was a large family home that the whole family loved.
Brittany converted the top floor into a loft and spent a lot of time out there working on her writing. She even had an amazing view of the mountains. Peyton used the top floor of the garage and turned it into an art studio. The girls had their separate spaces, but were still extremely close.
Brittany quit dance, and started gymnastics, something her birth mother had always wanted her to do and began to focus more on improving her writing and becoming more artistic. Peyton just turned sixteen, and now had her own car. Brittany was fifteen, turning sixteen in a matter of months.

There was one thing that changed about the Bolton family. That was that there was a new addition, one month old, Aubrey Alexandra Bolton.
Gabriella and Troy got married a year ago, and Gabriella happened to get pregnant.
They couldn't be happier with their family now. Aubrey completed them. Brittany and Peyton loved having a baby sister and Aubrey was so precious.
Brittany had warmed up to Gabriella. They bonded over writing and she was finally beginning to feel like she had a mother.

There were times where Troy felt bad about Lauren's passing, but Gabriella gave him comfort and helped him grieve the loss of his ex-wife.
Brittany was emotional sometimes about her mother's passing, and Troy keeping her from seeing her mother. She visited Lauren's grave sometimes and found a great deal of comfort doing so.
Gabriella had changed their lives. For the better.
Troy could not picture his life any other way. He had an amazing wife, and now three beautiful daughters.


"Britt!" Peyton said, knocking on the dark wooden door of Brittany's loft.
It was a snowy day. It was December 20th, and the family was going to go visit Troy's parents back in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Jack and Lucille were thrilled when Troy and Gabriella got back together, and were so happy to have Gabriella back in their lives along with their new granddaughters, Peyton and Aubrey.
Peyton opened the door and found Brittany sitting at her desk, staring at her laptop screen. She was obviously writing. Peyton knew not to bother her while she was writing, but needed help getting Aubrey ready.
"Brittany," Peyton said as she came over to the desk.
Brittany took her earbuds out and closed her computer. She glanced up at her sister. "Hey, what's up?"
"Was I interrupting your vibe?" Peyton asked.
Brittany shook her head. "No, not at all. What is it?"
"Are you even ready yet?" Peyton asked. "I need a little help getting Aubrey ready. Mom's busy packing in her room."
Brittany looked down at her outfit. She was currently wearing a pair of tribal print leggings, a white sweatshirt and a pair of white uggs. She completed her look with a black eternity scarf.
She looked back up at Peyton. "Yeah. It's a plane ride. Not a fashion show,"
Peyton laughed. "Whatever. Just come help."
"Fine," Brittany shut off her table lamp and followed Peyton downstairs to their little sister's nursery.

"Hi, baby!" Brittany cooed as she glanced down into the crib and Aubrey was sleeping.
Peyton dug in the closet and pulled out an outfit. "How does this look?" She asked as she held it up to Brittany.
Brittany picked her sister up and cradled her. She smiled at Peyton. "She's so cute. And that outfit is totes adorbs."
Peyton nodded and went over to the changing table on the other side of the room. "Well, let's get her dressed now. Bring her here,"
"Let's go get you dressed, little Aubrey." Brittany said, walking over to the changing table
She placed her baby sister down on the changing table and began to help Peyton get her ready.


Brittany heard a burp come from Aubrey's mouth. She was currently just finishing feeding Aubrey a bottle.
Brittany got up from her rocking chair and wiped Aubrey with a burping cloth and placed her in her car seat. They were leaving to the airport in ten minutes.
She stared at her little sister as she sat in her car seat.
Brittany loved Aubrey, more than words can explain.
"Britt, go get mom," Peyton said, peeking into Aubrey's nursery. "And I'll get dad."
Brittany nodded and walked across the second floor into Gabriella's bedroom.

"Mom?" Brittany said closing the door behind her.
Gabriella glanced up from the suitcases that were on the floor. She smiled. "What is it, honey?"
Brittany gave a small smile. She plopped herself on the bed. "You do know we have to leave in like five minutes, right? Let's go,"
Gabriella stood up and smoothed her blouse. "Of course. Did you and Pey get baby ready then?"
Brittany nodded. "Yeah. Aubrey's in her car seat downstairs already. Peyton got Dad and they're waiting downstairs for you."
"Oh, okay," Gabriella threw her purse over her shoulder and began to wheel her suitcases towards the bedroom door. "Let's go."


Troy rubbed the back of his neck. "Is she ready yet?"
"Yeah, they're coming now." Peyton told her father.
Troy picked up his daughter's car seat and opened the front door.
Peyton wheeled some suitcases outside and began to load them into the trunk.

"I'm ready!" Gabriella smiled, coming outside wearing a black trench coat and a pair of high heeled boots.
Brittany followed behind her, wearing a black Bench coat with a fur hood. "We're ready,"
Troy nodded and came over to help Gabriella with her luggage. He loaded it into the trunk of his Escalade.
Gabriella got into the passengers seat and waited for Brittany and Peyton to get into the back seat.
Brittany ran inside and came back out, holding her pink laptop bag and got into the back seat. Peyton followed.
The whole family was finally strapped in, and ready to go to the airport.
Troy glanced at Gabriella. "You ready, love?"
"Ready as I'll ever be," Gabriella smiled.
"Well, let's go then." Troy grinned and began to drive to the airport.

"So, Brittany, how's the writing coming?" Gabriella asked.
Brittany held her finger up, telling Gabriella to wait a moment. She finally finished typing and closed her laptop. "It's going good. I'm trying to get this one chapter finished."
"I'm sure you'll get it finished on the flight," Gabriella said. "Did you add that character we talked about last night into it yet?"
Brittany nodded. "Yeah. I didn't name her Gloria though, Mom. I named her Remington."
Gabriella turned around and smiled. "It's alright. Remington is a lovely name. We were actually thinking about naming Aubrey that," She looked at Troy. "Weren't we?"
Troy nodded. "We were."
"Can I get back to my writing now?" Brittany asked.
"Of course," Gabriella turned back around and faced the right way.


"We will now be taking off." The Bolton's pilot told the family.
They took private planes everywhere because Troy and Brittany didn't like going on regular passenger planes because of how many people, and how there was no privacy. Even though it was first class that they always booked.
Brittany was sitting on the couch area, watching a movie on her iPad and Peyton was sitting at the table on her computer, playing a game. Gabriella and Troy were cuddling in a seat while Aubrey slept in her car seat.
"Sounds good, George." Troy smiled.
"Enjoy the ride, guys." The old man smiled and made his way to the front again.

After about an hour into the flight, Troy looked down at Gabriella and noticed she was sleeping.
He kissed her on the head. "I love you."
Gabriella opened her eyes, and smiled. "I love you too."

That is the final part.
Amazing. You have no idea how much I enjoyed writing this story and hearing all of your reponses to it.
Thank you to the people who were reading from the beginning, and dealt with me for the long run.
I'm glad I've gotten so many positive reviews on this story and I will be writing a sequel. I don't know when but I will need some time to brainstorm.
I love you all and thank you so much.
As usual, review! :) Give me some ideas through PM for the sequel, that would really help.

Xo,
