It was early in the morning and Gabriella was sleeping soundly at her bed while Troy was up and cradling his new baby girl, Charlie, in his arms while he whispers to her softly.

"I still can't believe you're here. It feels like only yesterday that I was talking to you while you were mommy's tummy," Troy said, while staring at Charlie who is sleeping. "I have to hand it to you, if it wasn't for you, I don't think I would have the courage to tell everyone the real truth about everything. The truth about what you ask? Well, I don't think I could tell you now but I'll tell you when you're older and I hope you understand."

Charlie soon start to coo in Troy's arm somehow trying to talk to him. Troy smiled at her adoringly, "You are the most adorable little baby ever aren't you? I'm sorry you had to hear all of our fights. You had your last straw during our last fight didn't you? I'm sorry. We're sorry but I promise, we'll try not to fight in front of you anymore. Mommy and I will work it out whatever it takes to raise you well."

Troy couldn't help but notice the light brown hair on her head. It was just like his. He thinks it's safe to say that Charlie pretty much inherit his features. He wonders what colour her eyes would be. "I think I'm talking too much about myself right? Well, I'll tell you something about mommy. Well, she's a very beautiful woman and she likes to make wedding dresses. But recently, she have been making baby clothes for you. She thinks I didn't know about it but mommy can't keep secrets from me," Troy said while kissing Charlie's forehead for the hundredth time since he held her.

Suddenly Gabriella started stirring in her bed and she soon woke up from her sleep and looked at Troy. "Hey," she said with a smile.

"Hey yourself," Troy replied. He started to walk to Gabriella and handed Charlie to her. "I think Charlie misses mommy."

Gabriella smiled, "Did she? Hello Charlie. How are you?" she asked her little girl. Charlie responded by cooing in Gabriella comfortably.

"She's amazing. I can't believe she's ours," Gabriella said, not taking her eyes away from Charlie.

"I know. Me neither," Troy responded.

"She has your hair colour. I wonder what her eyes look like," Gabriella wondered while looking at Troy.

Troy chuckled and answered, "I think she's has your eyes."

Gabriella cringed at his answer, "Why makes you think so?"

"Take a look for yourself," Troy said while gesturing to Charlie who had been opening her eyes while Gabriella looked away. Gabriella stared in awed as she looks in her daughter's eyes that matched hers perfectly. Troy held his finger to Charlie and she held his finger tightly while looking at her parents.

"Those are some big brown eyes," Troy commented.

"Those are my dad's eyes. I got it from him," Gabriella said.

"Well they're perfect," Troy replied and kissed Gabriella's cheek.

"What do think your parents will say about us?" Gabriella asked.

Troy sighed at her question, "I don't know. But whatever they say, just know that I love you and Charlie."

Gabriella smiled, "I love you too. And by the way, I lied too."

"Lied about what?"

"I didn't actually plan to file in the divorce papers. I didn't know how to file divorce papers in the first place," Gabriella said, chuckled. "I just wasn't myself."

"I get it. You were being your hormonal self," Troy said.

"Yeah," Gabriella agreed.

"Let's just try not to fight anymore. At least not for the smallest of things."

Gabriella nodded in agreement, "I just wish my father was here. He would've loved to meet Charlie," she said.

"He's here. Somehow. You know he's watching over you," Troy responded.

Gabriella giggled, "Wow, cheesy much?"

"Well, would you prefer cheesy me or corny me?" Troy asked.

"Can I pick neither?" Gabriella teased.

"That wouldn't be a fair game," Troy debated.

Before Gabriella could respond, Charlie started to whimper in Gabriella's arms and soon she started to cry. Gabriella tried to calm her down, "I think she's hungry," Gabriella said.

Troy quickly grabbed the baby bottle by the side table, which the nurse had placed when she brought Charlie, "Here's her bottle," Troy said while handing Gabriella the bottle.

Gabriella slowly inserted the bottle to Charlie's mouth and Charlie soon calmed down. "That was a relief. Something tells me this is only part one of being a parent," Troy commented.

Gabriella giggled, "Maybe we should ask your mother for a parenting book now. We're going to need it."

That afternoon, Troy and Gabriella were left in the room having a conversation with one another when they heard someone knocking on the door.

"Knock knock," the person greeted.

Troy turned and realised it was his parents greeting them with a basket of baby stuff. "Mom! Dad! You're here," Troy said while hugging his mother.

"Of course we're here. What kind of grandparents we'll be by not coming to see our grandchild?" Lucille said.

"I wished you called first. Our baby isn't here right now. She's in the nursery," Troy said.

"She?"

"Yeah, it's a girl," Gabriella answered.

"A girl? Wow," Jack commented while Mrs. Bolton squealed in excitment while hugging Troy.

Gabriella got worried by Jack's comment, "Why? What's wrong?" she asked.

"Nothing. It's great. It's just that, for seven generations, there's never been a girl in the Bolton clan," Jack said.

"Really?" Troy asked.

"Yep. Looks like Bolton men do carry the Y chromosones too huh?" Jack joked while they laughed. Suddenly, a nurse walked into the room while holding baby Charlie in her hand.

"I'm sorry to interrupt but I think your baby would like to meet the rest of her family. You must be the grandparents," the nurse said to the Jack and Lucille. "Would you like to hold your new granddaughter?" the nurse asked Jack.

"Me?" Jack was stunned by the nurse's question. He have never held a baby in ages. He hesitated but by the sight of his granddaugter made him dare to hold her. "Sure. Why not." With that, the nurse slowly passed Charlie to Jack and left the room to the Boltons.

"Wow, she's so tiny isn't she?" Jack commented.

"Yes she is! She's so adorable! Oh, what's her name?" Lucille asked while still playing with her granddaughter.

Troy and Gabriella smiled at each other before they announced, "Troy decided to name her after my mother Charlotte. But we call her Charlie for short," Gabriella started.

"Why call her Charlie? I love the name Charlotte. I don't care, I'm calling her Charlotte," Lucille said and made Troy and Gabriella chuckle.

"What about the middle name?" Jack asked.

"Well, Gabriella decided that since mom played a huge part during the first few months of her pregnancy, we decided that her middle name is Lucille," Troy said.

Lucille stared at Troy and Gabriella, "Aw, you two didn't have to do that."

"It's no big deal mom. Really. We're happy to be naming her after you," Troy said.

"I'm honored," Lucille said and faced Charlie. "Hello Charlotte. Welcome to the world."

"This is great but we should really tell Troy and Gabriella what they need to know," Jack said to his wife.

"You're right," Lucille said.

"Tell us what?" Troy asked while Jack passed Charlie to Gabriella.

"Well, we've thought about the truth you said about us yesterday. We're very dissappointed in you Troy," Jack started.

"I know," Troy said.

"And because of that, we have decided to divorce your marriage to Gabriella," Lucille continued.

"What? You can do that?" Troy asked, panickly.

"Yes."

"Does that mean Troy and I have to be separated?" Gabriella asked as she held on Charlie close to her. "What about Charlie?"

Jack and Lucille looked at each other, "No that doesn't neccessarily mean you two have to be apart from each other or Charlie," Lucille assured Gabriella.

"We're just divorcing the both of you so that you two can work out your relationship properly first and then when you're really ready, you can get married anytime you want after you're really settled with one another," Jack said.

"What about the Bolton tradition?" Troy asked.

"I guess we can overlook this just this once but don't expect the same treatment from any other Bolton. Especially Charlie," Jack said.

"I guess that's fair. Thanks," Troy thanked his parents.

"Wait, do I have to give the Bolton ring back?" Gabriella asked.

Jack and Lucille looked at each other and nodded, "Keep it. You're going to need it someday."

So what do you think? Sorry for the wait.

PLEASE REVIEW!

BTW, I made a new story, well not really story more like random oneshots called A Day In Life of Troy Bolton. It's basically about Troy's life and stuff so please R&R.

Also, I have read this story: Stuck in a Fairytale by xojokubauskasx3 and it's really good. I swear. If you like modern versions of fairytales, you'll like this one. It has a mixture of Cinderella and Rapunzul. It's really good and I think the story deserves more reviews. So do me a favor and read it please.
