"Where's Troy?" Nathan asked out loud, scanning the screen.

"You're right! He's not there! And he's supposed to be back in New York!" Julie said.

Gabi's eyes widened, realizing that Troy did not leave. Her heart skipped a beat as she heard the door bell rang.

---

The door rang once, twice…

"Mommy, aren't you gonna get the door?" Julie asked curiously, annoyed from the ring.

"O-oh yea, the door…" Gabi muttered, taking a deep breath. She walked up to the door, opening it.

She sighed she saw the blue eyed hottie leaned against the door post.

"What do you want Troy?" Gabi said crossing her arms

Troy crashed his lips onto Gabi's pushing her against the wall. Gabriella stood there shocked, and then accepted. Realizing that she had missed him terribly. The two were lost in each other, their kiss filled with passion.

"Mommy?"

The two pulled apart abruptly to see the triplets at the door. Troy and Gabi were didn't know what to say and the triplets mouths were open. There was a dead silence until Joshua spoke up.

"Why did you kiss him?"

There was another silence.

"Mommy, why is Troy here?" Julie asked demanding.

Troy rubbed the back of his neck nervously as Gabi tried to think of what to say. He looked at Gabi pleadingly, but she shook her head. The word 'dad' would solve everything but Troy guessed that Gabriella wasn't ready to tell them yet.

"Mommy, you said that he was your friend, but why did you kiss him? You said that he mad you mad!" Nathan asked impatiently.

"I did make your mom mad, and I came to say that I was sorry…" Troy said slowly.

Gabi shot him a look so Troy kept quiet.

"Let mommy explain this later on, ok kids?" Gabi said.

The three triplets nodded glumly. "How about we take you three to the park and get ice cream?" Gabi asked trying to change the subject.

"Chocolate!" Nathan yelled excitedly.

"Chocolate!" Joshua joined.

"Strawberry please!" Julie said.

Troy and Gabi sighed in relief as the triplets put on their shoes in a hurry, running out excitedly, well except for Julie.

"Um… here let me help you down the steps." Troy said, slowly lifting the wheel chair and setting it on the floor, with Julie seated on it.

"Mommy, can I bring my basketball?" Julie asked pleadingly.

"Julie, you know that you can't walk yet…" Gabi said sighing.

"Please? I promise to only bounce it!" Julie begged.

"Fine, just don't do anything else with it." Gabi muttered, handing Julie the signed basket ball which was next to the door.

Julie hugged it as if she didn't see it in a long time.

"Mommy! Come on!" Joshua yelled up ahead.

"Coming!" Gabi said, taking the handles of the wheel chair.

"I'll do it Gabi." Troy said.

Gabriella hesitated then stepped aside as Troy took over.

"Guy wait up!" Gabi yelled, walking faster up to Nate and Josh who were trying to climb a tree.

"How does it feel like to be the only girl?" Troy asked Julie as they watch Joshua jump into Gabi's arms from a branch.

"I've never thought of that before!" Julie said giggling.

Troy smiled as he carefully pushed the wheel chair, Jet tagging along.

"My brothers are really fun! WE sometime play basket ball against each other!" Julie explained.

"You three play basket ball?" Troy said.

Julie nodded. "But usually it's Joshua and Nathan against me."

"You mean that you're the only one on your team?" Troy said interested.

"Yep! But I ALWAYS win all the time!" Julie said proudly.

"You can beat them in basketball?" Troy said in disbelief.

"Yea! And everyone says that it's not true, so I tried to prove it at day care, but Joshua accidentally pushed me, so I felt weird, so I went to the hospital, so now I'm in a wheel chair!" Julie said in one breath.

Troy chuckled. "Why don't you show me later when your leg gets better?" Troy asked smiling.

"You mean it? No one has ever believed me!" Julie said happily.

"Julie! Do you want any toppings?" Nathan asked, running up to Troy and Julie.

Julie made a face. "I only like plain strawberry!"

"Come on Julie! Joshua and I are getting nuts and syrup on top!" Nathan said.

'Just like me…' thought Troy as Julie shook her head.

"Fine!" Nathan said sighing. He ran back up to Joshua and Gabi who were already up ahead, ordering their ice creams.

"Why did you call my mommy Gabi?" Julie asked suddenly as the two continued walking.

"Well, Gabriella is harder to say so it's kinda like a nickname…" Troy explained.

"I wish I had a nickname! Joshua is called Josh and Nathan is called Nate. Now my mom is called Gabi!" Julie said huffing.

Troy chuckled. "Hmm…do you like Jewels?" Troy asked after thinking for a moment.

Julie nodded her head vigorously. "I love it!"

Troy smiled as the two reached Gabi and the boys, who were munching on their ice creams.

"Here Julie!" Gabi said handing Julie a strawberry ice cream.

"Mommy I have a new nickname!" Julie squealed.

"Really, what is it?" Gabriella asked.

"Jewels! Troy made it up for me!" Julie said excitedly.

"Jewels? I like it Jewels!" Joshua said. Nathan laughed along.

"Um…here Troy…" Gabi said handing Troy a chocolate ice cream with nuts and syrup on top.

"My favorite!" Troy said smiling.

Ok, this chapter was a bit happy right? lol But I plan the next one to get a bit messy!

Hannah :P

Sneak Peek!

"Troy! It's me!" A blonde yelled, running towards Troy and Gabriella.

She threw her arms around Troy's neck, kissing his cheek.

"Did you miss me?" she squealed.

"Leah, what are you doing here?" Troy exclaimed pushing her off.

"You didn't miss me?" the blonde said smiling seductively. "I thought I'd come to check on ya since you didn't come back on yesterday's flight. I missed you baby!"

"Who are you?" Gabriella cut in.

"You wanna know who I am?" the blonde said rudely, "I'm his girlfriend!"
