The flashes of the camera's were so bright that you could see them through the car windows. It was 9:30 and all the kids were asleep except Jackson who was sitting next to her father quietly sucking on her pink pacifier and playing with her brown hair that are in pony tails. Jackson turned to look at Troy and pulled on his shirt and mumbled through her pacifier. Troy smiled and took it out of her mouth, "Where's are wees doeing?"
"We're gonna go to our hotel room and go to sleep and tomorrow we all are gonna wake up really early and go watch me tell everyone that I'm not gonna play basketball anymore," Troy explained.

"Nots evers."

"No I'll still play with you guys but I wont play far away anymore, and I have to tell everyone else that on TV," he said so a 3 year old could understand. Jackson nodded and grabbed her pacifier out of her fathers hands and put it back in her mouth then leaned against him and soon feel asleep.

After they had the body guards push their way through the paparazzi they went up to their suite that was like a big apartment. Troy and Gabriella put all the kids in the respective beds and then walked back into the kitchen in hopes of finding ice cream. As Gabriella sat down on the counter she found a note from Troy's publicist telling him that the press conference would start at 6:30 and they would have to be there at 4:30, and Troy opened the freezer to find chocolate ice cream and found two spoons.

"Do we have to go with you, cant we just watch you on TV," Gabriella whined as she took a spoonful of ice cream.

"They want you guys to come so that people could see how cute the kids are and understand why I'm leaving," he said taking a bite.

"Ugh I hate to take them in front of cameras. I thought that was one thing we promised we'd keep them away from."

"Hey you're the one who wanted to come," he smiled.

"Yeah but that was before I found out that we would have to wake up at 3 in the morning," she said leaning her head against his shoulder.

He took one last bite of ice cream then put to lid back on and put it back in the fridge then patted Gabriella on her legs, "Come sleepy head lets get to bed," then turned around and had her jump on his back and piggy backed to their room.

Since Bliss is still in the wake up every 3 hours stage Gabriella and Troy didn't get much sleep, as always. When 3 am came around Gabriella was sitting on the couch breastfeeding Bliss, when Troy walked into the living room he saw Gabriella starting to fall asleep holding their youngest child to her chest and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Shut up, I'm too tired to care," he heard Gabriella say while her eyes were still closed.

He walked over to her and started to massage her shoulders, "I'm sorry, it was a little funny…..Do you want me to take over while you take a shower."

"I'm sorry to tell you Troy but you don't have boobs to feed her with," she said.

"We she has bottles in her bag that you've pumped I can give her those. Go relax in the shower I got her," He said walking over to her and picking up Bliss from her arms.

"Okay, but remember to only give her a little bit because she only has a small stomach and you have to burp her every two minutes so that she doesn't throw it up," Gabriella said standing up slowly walking towards the bathroom.

"Gabriella I've fed babies before," he defended.

25 minutes later Bliss was fed, Gabriella and Troy took their showers and now the kids were getting dressed into their nice clothes. Jet and Brooklynn were sitting on the couch trying to keep their eyes open and Gabriella was putting Rylan and Jackson's hair into ponytails and Portland was holding Bliss and telling her mom about all the things she wants to see while in LA, and Troy was trying to put his tie on.

About an hour later they all were waiting for time to start, Troy's publicist told everyone that the reporters may ask them questions as well as Troy and Gabriella got really nervous but Troy grabbed her hand and she felt better. They walked out to the room full of cameras and reporters and tape recorders, Gabriella and the kids stayed of to the side only a few feet away from Troy but once Jackson saw all the cameras focusing on her family she got scared and ran into Troy's arms and buried her head into his neck and the crowd broke out into 'Aww'.

Troy went through the whole story of wanting to be with his kids and see them grow up and maybe coming back later, and how he's gonna coach at his old high school; and the reporters even asked the children questions that once again erupted into a fit of 'Aww'. when the press conference started to come to an end it started to go down hill one reporter asked, "Gabriella how do you feel being the reason your husband wont play pro ball anymore," and another asked, "What are you gonna do when all the money's gone will you and Troy break up."

And Gabriella didn't know what to say, she froze. Troy saw her freeze up and immediately said, "She and the kids are the best reason to stop traveling, and to the other question fuck you."

Gabriella's eyes got wide and looked at her husband with a shocked expression, he used his free hand that wasn't holding Jackson to grab his wife's hand protectively.

After that the conference was done and all the reporters couldn't wait to put this story onto the TV and in the magazines. When they all were in the car on their way back to the hotel Jet turned to his mom and said, "Daddy said a bad word, is he gonna get a spanking?"

"No but he knows that he shouldn't say it again," Gabriella said grabbing Troy's hand.

The kids went back to talking amongst themselves and playing with their toys that they brought, and Gabriella turned to her husband and whispered, "What the hell was that?"
"I had to say something Gabriella," he whispered turning to look at her with a angry expression on his face.

"Yeah but you didn't have to say that, you know how fast that'll be everywhere."
"Who cares he deserved it. I wasn't going to let him say that about us and get away with it," he whispered.

Her expression changed to love and gave him a short but sweet kiss, "Thank you."

When they got to the hotel, of course the entrance was flooded with paparazzi but they just ignored them as usual. Troy and Gabriella decided that they wouldn't go out and sight see until tomorrow and they just hung out around the hotel and even went to the indoor pool and arcade.

At the pool Gabriella was sitting on the lounge chair as usual holding a still dry Bliss watching her kids play with their father and a couple of kids they met in the pool. Out of the corner of her eye she could see a young girl about 13 sit down next to her and then the girl said, "Aww you baby is so cute."

"Thank you," she said with a smile.

"I wish there was a baby around my house, I think my parents would have cute babies too but their too old. And I'm an only child."
"Aww that sucks but your better off being an only child I have 3 younger siblings and they drive me crazy sometimes," Gabriella said.

Gabriella and this girl, Olivia is her name, continued on to have a long conversation. Gabriella found out that she was 13 and her and her parents live in Roseville California and that they're there for her soccer tournament. There was something about this little girl that was familiar but she couldn't pin point it. But then they looked up and heard, "Olivia leave people alone," and then she turned to Gabriella and said, "I'm sorry my daughter is very friendly I'm sorry if she bothered you."

Gabriella looked up at the woman and almost dropped Bliss.

"Gabriella!," the woman said.
