Chapter 38-We Need a Break
OMG I am SOOOO sorry that it has taken me almost 2 months to update, you can all yell at me if you'd like. In this chapter Riley is 3 and Brooke and Autumn are a year old.
Sharpay woke up, and looked around the room getting the feeling that something was off. She looked beside her and saw that Troy wasn't there and that there was no noise coming from downstairs. She stretched, put on her housecoat, and trudged downstairs yawning. She looked in the living room and saw Riley, Autumn, Brooke and Freeway sitting in the living room watching TV. Riley looked up and grinned "Mommy." Sharpay smiled "Hey sweetie, where'd your daddy go?" Riley pointed behind her "Daddy." Sharpay didn't have time to turn around before Troy wrapped his arms around her, lifted her up and spun her around. He put her down and then whispered in her ear "I bribed the kids with a trip to the ice cream store to be really quiet. They've been up since 6, I heard them making some commotion down here so I got up." Sharpay smiled "Thank you, don't you have to go to work?" Troy nodded "Eventually, I was going to eat breakfast with you and then go...but if you want me to leave now then I will." He turned to walk out the door and Sharpay grabbed his arm and pulled him back.
They walked into the kitchen and Sharpay saw that there was already coffee and pancakes made. "How did you know when I would get up?" Troy shrugged "I was just on my way to wake you up actually, so they're nice and warm." Gabi came into the kitchen and smiled "Morning you guys, Ryan is just taking a shower, he said he'd be down in a few minutes so that you can go to work." Troy nodded "Alright, I'm just eating first anyway so it's all good." Gabi sat down and grabbed a few pancakes putting them onto a plate "These look really good Troy." Troy smiled "Thanks." They finished eating and Ryan came downstairs "Hey Troy, you ready to go?" Troy nodded and stood up giving Sharpay a quick kiss "Don't forget, we have to take Riley and Autumn to the ice cream store when I get home." Sharpay smiled "I know." Ryan gave Gabi a kiss and he and Troy left after saying goodbye to the kids.
A little while later, Gabi and Sharpay were lounging in the pool when there was a knock on the door that they didn't hear. Riley got off the couch and went to open the door. Taylor and Chad walked into the house and Chad ruffled Riley's hair "Hey little buddy, where's your mom and Aunt Gabi?" Riley grinned "They on the pool." Taylor laughed "Don't you mean, they're in the pool?" Riley shook his head "No, they on the pool, come...I show you." He grabbed Chad's hand and brought them out to the pool area "See" Riley said pointing "They on the pool." He grinned at them and then ran back into the house. Sharpay looked up at the voices "Oh hey Chad, Taylor...when did you guys get here?" Chad smiled "About 2 minutes ago, Riley let us in saying you were on the pool, he even showed us." Taylor laughed "He is just too cute." Gabi nodded in agreement "And getting cuter everyday."
About 15 minutes later they were all sitting at the patio table talking "So what brings you over here?" Gabi asked taking a sip of her drink. Taylor shrugged "We were bored, we just decided to come by and say hey." Sharpay smiled "Well we're glad you came by, it can get boring when the kids are doing something and the guys are gone. It's nice to have someone to talk to, right Gabi?" Gabi nodded "Oh yeah, and the kids love seeing you both." Taylor laughed "Didn't you know it's the kids we come to see?" Sharpay pretended to look shocked and looked down and Autumn who had toddled over to Chad "You've stolen my friends...curse you for being so cute." Autumn just blinked at her and then smiled. Chad picked her up "And you wonder why we come to see her, she's so much cuter then you." Gabi picked up Brooke and smiled "You have to admit Shar...he has a point." Sharpay pretended to pout "What is this? Pick on Sharpay day?" Taylor shook her head "No, that's everyday dear." Sharpay glared at Taylor "I can kick you both out you know that right?" Taylor nodded laughing "But you wouldn't, you love us too much."
After a bit Chad and Taylor left and Gabi plopped onto the couch beside Sharpay and Riley "Well that was a fun visit." Sharpay nodded in agreement and Riley crawled into her lap "I like when Unca Chad and Aunti Taywer visit." Gabi smiled and smoothed his hair "We know you do Riley, we like when they visit too." she got up and turned on the tv and they started watching Spiderman. Eventually both Riley and Gabi had fallen asleep and Riley had somehow made it onto Gabi's lap so Sharpay headed into the kitchen to do the dishes. She finished them and then read for a bit until she heard Troy come into the kitchen and sit in front of her at the table. "Hey Troy, how was work?" Troy smiled "It was good, the team is really coming along."
Sharpay was going to say something until she saw Autumn and Riley looking at them expectantly. Troy laughed "I think they're waiting for something." Sharpay nodded and Troy got up holding out his hand. "Shall we take them to get ice cream?" Sharpay giggled and took his hand "Let's go." They got to the ice cream store, and after 10 minutes of deciding what flavour they all wanted, they were sitting together eating and talking." Troy pulled an envelope out of his pocket and then looked at Sharpay "I was thinking all day today, and I think we need a break." Sharpay froze and looked at him "We need a what?" Troy took four plane tickets out of the envelope "We need a break, the four of us, like we need to go on vacation." Sharpay breathed a sigh of relief "I agree with you."
Woo hoo, there, may be short but at least its up...ideas are welcome and it will never take me this long to update again. Love you all.
