Things between Gabriella and Troy had simmered down. They both agreed to have better communication and to take time to listen to each other. There was no point in starting over, if the same things keep happening.

Rosie was in-between the pair and had dozed off watching Lilo and Stitch with her two favorite people side by side. Gabriella felt Rosie's head lull and decided to take her to bed. Troy decided to get up and stretch after letting out a silent yawn. A yellow envelope caught Troy's attention. He walked over to it and saw it was addressed to Gabriella. However, what completely caught his attention was who it was addressed from.

Oregon Department of Justice: Child Support

Gabriella quietly entered the room, nervous seeing what Troy was looking at.

"Gab, is this from James?" Troy asked. He couldn't imagine what Gabriella must have been going through with James and the custody he wanted to claim. Him and Gabriella knew there was no way in hell that Rosie should ever be under Rosie's guardianship, but Gabriella didn't know what to do.

She sighed, leaning against the kitchen door's frame. "I don't know what I'm going to do Troy, I have no where to go. James is a fucking psycho and I don't know what the hell he has planned yet." Troy pulled Gabriella into a hug, seeing her distress. He layed his head on top of Gabriella's and ran his hands up and down her back, hoping to soothe her. "We'll figure it out, baby. Promise." Gabriella nodded and leaned into his comfort.

"Hey, how do you feel if we go for a walk after Rosie's done napping?"

"Yeah," Gabriella agreed, nodding her head. "It'll be a good idea to get some fresh air and get outside."

Once Rosie woke up, Troy and Gabriella got her ready and they ventured towards the park. Once they reached the park, Rosie ran off to the swings, where Gabriella and Troy kept an eyefull watch sitting down on a bench. Through all the turmoil and stress, Gabriella was thankful that Troy was standing by her. She really couldn't imagine how she would be handling all this, if it weren't for Troy. She leaned her head against his shoulder and let out a small giggle.

Troy looked down curious, "What's so funny?"

Gabriella continued to smile looking straight ahead. "The last time we were like this was in your treehouse the night after championships." Troy smiled at Gabriella and kissed her head.

"Mommy!" A little girl screamed, immediately grabbing Troy and Gabriella's attention, causing both of them to run towards the noise.

Troy saw it before Gabriella did. A man grabbed Rosie and was dragging her into a black car. Troy broke away from Gabriella and ran with all his will and grabbed Rosie from his arms, causing Rosie to trip over and scrape her knees on the black concrete. Gabriella panicked and quickly pulled Rosie into her arms, the little girl sobbing and clinging onto Gabriella with her dear life. Gabriella shielded Rosie, preventing her head turning to seeing what Troy was doing.

Troy did not hesitate for a second when throwing his fist continuously to the man's face.

"What. The. Fuck. Is. Wrong. With. You." Troy growled before grabbing his neck and putting him in a choke hold. "She's a child. What kind of sicko takes a child away like that." Troy shouted. His yell caught the other attention of the other dads in the park who came rushing towards the two. "Who are you!" Troy screamed. Finally, Troy was separated from the man who remained speechless and was sporting a bloody nose and a busted lip.

Troy took deep breaths and calmed himself before breaking away from the men holding him back trying to understand the scene.

"Fuck dude! What the hell is your problem! That's my fucking niece asshole" The man screamed, in pain. Good. He deserved it. Thankfully, he was still being held at arms length by one of the fathers. Troy heard footsteps running towards them, demanding they tell them what happened. The cops. Troy knew he had to get a handle with himself. He did not act well, angry.

"This sicko was going to kidnap my girlfriend's child." Troy bit out. One of the officers came closer and started at the verdict. He paused and brought out handcuffs ordering him to get down on his knees and put his hands above his head. Troy was mixed with emotions of frustration and relief. "Who is this guy?" Troy demanded. The cop who handcuffed him handed him to the other officer to take him away. The officer made his way to Troy. "That's Dean Sebastion. He's been under probation, but no way is he going anywhere else, only behind bars." Troy's mind caught on Dean's last name. Sebastian… James's last name is Sebastian. Was he…? The cop interrupted Troy's train of thought. "Is the child's mother here?" The cop questioned.

Troy nodded and led the way back to the area they were sitting before. Troy's heart broke when he saw Gabriella and Rosie both sobbing. Gabriella lifted her head hearing footsteps, quickly wiping tears. Gabriella got nervous when she saw the cop approaching. Were they able to find the guy who almost kidnapped her daughter? Was Troy in trouble?

"Hello, I'm officer Davis." The officer quietly introduced himself to the couple, keeping in mind the little girl's shaking form.

Gabriella wiped her tears quickly before extending her free hand to shake with the officer, still holding Rosie close.

"Hello. Please tell me you caught and identified the man." Gabriella begged.

"We did. His name is Dean Sebastian. He just got out of the system for drug possession and armed robbery." The officer stated

Gabriella immediately gasped and became stiff after hearing that name. Seeing so, Troy's question becoming answered. So he was related to James.

"He's," Gabriella took a deep breath before continuing, "He's my daughter's father's brother."

"I'm assuming your talking about Mr. James Sebastian."

Gabriella nodded her head in confirmation.

"That man does not have a good record on himself either. Well, Dean will be behind bars soon. However, I must warn you. You and your child are not safe in that house. We have an option of patrolling around your house for your safety." The officer suggested.

Gabriella immediately knew that she did not feel safe in her home. James had come there multiple times, violating his contract with the law.

"They can stay with me." Troy quipped, offering another option.

"I-I don't think that's a good idea." Troy was caught off guard by her answer. Was it because she saw how he handled Dean, after grabbing Rosie.

Gabriella looked at him in alarm, "No it's not that. I just feel that James is everywhere, and he's known for being sneaky. Troy to be honest, I don't think it's safe for you to be at your home either."

Troy nodded in understanding taking that into consideration.

"I agree with Gabriella, Mr…" The officer trailed off waiting for an answer. Troy responded right away. "Bolton, Troy Bolton, sir"

"Mr. Bolton," officer Davis continued. "Your safety is also in danger, knowing Sebastian's track record with the law. Is there anywhere else you can stay for the time being?"

Gabriella couldn't think about any solutions.

"Maybe Chad or Sharpay's?" Troy suggested, knowing she especially might not agree with the latter suggestion.

Gabriella didn't even put Sharpay in an ill consideration. However, she off the bat knew the answer. "No, they both have children living with them, I don't want them to be put in potential danger, too." Troy nodded in agreement.

"Sorry, I didn't think about that." Troy whispered. Gabriella sent him a reassuring smile.

"Whatever the option is, I would consider a farther destination he may not have knowledge of. However, Miss. Montez, I guarantee you, as an officer and a father, we will put a stop to these men, and make sure all of your safety is ensured." Officer Davis looked at all three of them.

Troy thought of one more solution. It was a long shot.

"Gabs, how do you feel about Alberquerque?" Troy questioned with slight hesitation.
