Two Days Later:

She stood in front of the bathroom mirror fixing a stray hair back into place. When she had pinned it in the right place Gabriella felt those familiar arms wrap around her waist.

"Hey sexy," he whispered in her ear and pulling her to rest against his body. She turned around in his arms before responding with, "Hey handsome, you've always looked so cute in your suit," then connected her lips with his awaiting ones. It was one of those sweet kisses that tingled through your whole body along with the warmness spreading through the lower regions of your body.

"You seem so much happier today," Troy said pulling his lips away for a few seconds.

"Yeah well I'm still a little upset but I'm starting to get over it," she spoke with a bit of sadness mixed in with her beautiful voice, "Was it crazy of me to believe that my mother would change, that now she would want to be a descent person and want to be a caring mother to us?"
"No, well maybe a little," he joked, "I want you to know that you are never alone, we all love you very much and you should never feel like we don't."

"Thank you."

FLASHBACK

They had finished their lunch happily and Maria even went to meet Troy at practice. Gabriella was starting to think that maybe the relationship between them was going to change and they would be somewhat friends. All of the Montez children were getting excited. However that didn't last long; that night after they had lunch there was a knock on Troy and Gabriella's hotel room door.

"Hey," Troy spoke when he opened the door and saw Maria standing there.

"Hi Troy."

"Are you looking for Gabriella because I can go get her for you," he asked.

"No that's okay, but I would like you to tell her and everyone else that I'm leaving. I realized that there is no way I can change what happened in the past and they all would be better off going back to their regular lives."

Troy's cheery disposition changed when he heard theses words, "Please don't go. You'll be making the worst decision of your life."

"No the worst decision I ever made was asking Gabriella to talk to me that day at the pool," Maria responded, "I think it's best for all of us to just go back to normal, you take care of your family and I will take care of mine."

"We are your family," Troy protested.

"I've never been apart of your guys' family, I may have given birth to them but in no way am I their mother. Please Troy don't judge me, but this is what I have to do."
"What about Olivia, you can't keep her away from her brother and sisters or even her nieces and nephews," Troy pleaded.

"If she wants to know you guys then I'm not stopping her," was the last thing she said before walking away.

Troy slowly shut the door and rested his head on it thinking about what he was supposed to tell Gabriella, seeing his wife in such a depression a few days ago was too much for him to handle he couldn't take that again. He slammed his fist on the door.

"Hey are you okay," he heard Gabriella's voice ask, "Who was at the door."

He slowly turned around and began to tell her the horrible thing he was instructed to relay to her. He watched as her excitement turn into sadness and hatred then watched her as she ran to her room and slammed the door shut behind her. The only thing he knew what to do was send her siblings in after her and take the kids somewhere other then that hotel room, but before he did so he would tell Gabriella how much he loved her.

He took the kids to Chucky Cheese that was a few streets up from the hotel; they were too young to understand why mommy was so sad. They all were sat at a table, even Journey, eating their slices of pizza. Troy looked at all of them, noticing how happy they were and how much he would miss them if they were gone; he just couldn't fathom how Maria would be able to leave her young children and never see them again.

"It's okay Uncle Troy, she'll be okay," Journey said pulling Troy's mind back to reality.

"How'd you get so smart," he joked.

"Daddy can we go play now," Rylan asked.

"Yeah sure," he said about to get up.

"I'll take them," Journey said.

"Thanks."

She just smiled as she got up from her seat and walked off to the games with Portland, Rylan, Jet and Brooklynn.

"Jackson aren't you going to go play," Troy asked as she climbed on the seat next to him.

"No's I's wanna sits wiff you, we'd always comes heres. So's I wanna hangs wiff you and Biss," she answered in her cute three year old voice, "Is tat otay?"
Troy smiled, "Yes sweetheart that's perfectly okay," and pulled her into his lap and turned their bodies to Bliss who was asleep in her car seat.

When they got back to the hotel two hours later the little kids were halfway asleep, except Bliss, and when they got to their room they fell right asleep. Troy sat down on the couch, with Bliss in his arms, next to Katie who was flipping through the channels.

"How is everything with everyone," he asked.

"Me, James and Hannah are somewhat okay, better then Gabriella but she'll be fine," she answered, "I remember when I was two and Gabriella was 15 and I walked into her room and she was just laying there staring at the wall and her eyes were red like she had been crying and that was the first time I really felt scared because if Gabriella was scared or sad then I knew that it was really bad. You would never see her cry in front of me or James because she never wanted to show us that something really wrong happened and she didn't know what to do. The first time she's ever really cried in front of us was when she married you, but those were happy tears," she paused for a second before continuing, "You want to know a secret?"
Troy nodded his head yes.

"She didn't cry in front of me today, Hannah yes but not me."
Troy looked down at Bliss and couldn't help but release a tear from his eye when he saw her make a 'Gabriella' face.

"I'll watch Bliss, you go take care of my sister," Katie said reaching for the baby girl. He stood up and walked to his room, when Hannah saw him she got up and walked out of the room but before she walked out the door she placed her hand lovingly on his shoulder and nodded. He climbed into bed next to her and pulled her into his body and held her for the rest of the day.

END FLASHBACK

"Are you ready for our date Mrs. Bolton," Troy asked smiling.

"Why yes I am Mr. Bolton," she smiled back.

They said goodnight to each of their children before walking out of the hotel room hand in hand, leaving Gabriella's siblings in charge of watching their six children.
