A/N: Hey thanks for the reviews. Sorry I didn't update last night but my computer was playing up and wouldn't let me submit the document. Anyway this chapter is split in 2 and this is kind of the filler part. Its not that great but I needed to skip ahead because I seriously need to finish this as soon as I can because I have got a load of work to do over the holidays and I won't have time to write that much. I'll post the next one tomorrow if my computer lets me and if I get enough reviews so R&R!
Disclaimer: I own absolutely nothing except plot and any original characters.
Chapter 48
Life back at college was tough. Gabriella and Troy rented their own apartment for them and the twins while the others stayed in the old apartments. Fortunately, Gabriella didn't have to work because when she turned 21 she inherited quite a large sum of money from her father, which she was unaware of. Added on top of what she got of her mom's she and Troy would be fine if neither of them worked but Troy wanted to just in case they ever really needed that money for something else. Luckily Troy and Gabriella's classes didn't clash so Gabriella or Troy could be at home with the twins all the time. Often, Kelsi would bring Michael over too. Gabriella hadn't even thought about wedding plans in that much detail, as she was too busy looking after the twins.
As for the rest of the gang they were all busy with their own thing. Chad, Taylor, Zeke, Sharpay, Ryan and Annabelle were all starting to plan their weddings. Kelsi and Jason were busy working and looking after Michael. All the couples planning their weddings had decided to wait till a year after they had graduated but were already starting to plan everything. Sharpay was the worst because she wanted to do everything in one go. Zeke had had to put his foot down and stop her before she got too carried away.
The first few months passed as so far everything was going good for everyone. Gabriella, Troy, Kelsi and Jason had all finally gotten used to balancing out their lives with everything that needed to be done. All the others were still doing regular things and did though have to be reminded several times that they couldn't just up and go now like they use to because they had kids. Chad was forever over at Troy and Gabriella's apartment and couldn't get enough of the twins. With Chad there is meant Taylor usually ended up over there too.
Everyone was round the Bolton's celebrating, a week before Christmas the news that Jack had finally been given the all clear from the doctors. But there was also something else they would soon be celebrating and had been planning, everyone that is apart from Gabriella who knew nothing about the surprise. Gabriella was upstairs with the twins.
"You know you and your sister are the best things that ever happened to me and your daddy. We love you both very much." Gabriella told Christian. "I just wished you could have met your other grandparents because they would have loved you so much and wanted to be there for you always like Grandma and Grandpa. I know the others all don't know this but when I'm home alone with you guys sometimes and you are sleeping I've been writing down what my perfect wedding would be but shh because daddy doesn't know and he never will because I know he has always wanted a biggish wedding." Gabriella kissed the top of his head.
"So Gabriella how you coping with these two?" Jack asked as Gabriella who turned in surprise to see Jack behind her. Alexia was asleep while Gabriella was feeding Christian his bottle.
"I think it going ok." Jack smiled as he came and stood next to her by the twins. "How come your up here and not down there?" Gabriella asked.
"Things are getting a but much and I needed some space and if I go outside someone will follow." Gabriella nodded as she looked down at the boy in her arms. "I can't believe how much they've grown since we last saw them." Gabriella smiled.
"Don't I know it? Everyday I see something new about them and the rate they go through their clothes is unbelievable." Gabriella said as she burped Christian.
"I remember when Troy was little Troy was forever on the basketball court and the first time I ever saw him shoot a hoop on his own it made me realize that he was growing up quicker than I knew. It's still the same now. I think to just a couple of years ago, the two of you hated each other and now here you are with kids of your own and engaged. Before you know it you will be married, have more kids and having to experience everything your kids throw at you." Jack told her as handed Jack his grandson.
"Yeah I like that idea but me and Troy are not having anymore kids till these two are older and we're married." Gabriella explained.
"I'm glad you two are being sensible enough to wait before you have more kids. So how are the wedding plans coming?" Gabriella shook her head.
"What wedding plans? I don't have time to go to classes and be a mom and plan a wedding. Its impossible." Gabriella told him.
"I thought you and Troy wanted to get married after you graduated." Jack recalled as Gabriella shrugged.
"I did to but I'm not sure if it is possible at the minute." Jack smiled at her as he held a now sleeping Christian in his arms.
"Its possible if you want it to be. And it might be possible even sooner." Gabriella and Jack turned to see Troy leaning against the door.
"You know it's rude to eavesdrop on a private conversation." Gabriella commented as Troy smiled and walked over to her, wrapping his arms around her.
"And you know you love me for it really." Gabriella rolled her eyes as she leaned against Troy.
"And that is why you have to tell her Troy." Jack warned as Gabriella looked at him.
"Tell me what?" Gabriella asked confused.
"Tell you that I may kind of have something to tell you and it might come as a bit of a surprise and please don't kill me…" Troy started.
A/N: What has Troy got to tell her? Please review. Thanks!
