Troy had a tight hold on Faith with one hand, and had his other hand entwined with Gabriella's.
The family was now approaching the end of the tunnel, where they would be tossed into Albuquerque travelers.
" Who's picking us up again?" Gabriella asked slowly
" My parents." Troy answered as he glanced at Faith.
" And…they know I'm coming…right?" Gabriella asked, nervously.
Troy stopped walking and looked at her.
" Yes, they know you're coming and don't worry, they love you."
Gabriella nodded as Troy used his free hand to tilt her head towards him, " I love you."
Gabriella smiled; the two quickly kissed, and then continued the last few steps out into the waiting area.
Troy immediately spotted his parents, " Mom, dad!" He quickly got their attention, then walked over to them.
" Troy! You're back!" Anna Bolton said as she swept her son into a hug
" Honey, he was gone a day!" Jack Bolton shook his head as he gave a laugh.
" And who is this adorable cutie?" Anna said reaching her arms out to Faith.
Faith looked at Anna with her bright blue eyes and leaned towards her grandmother,
Anna smiled as she swaddled the little girl into her arms.
" Hi Faith!" Anna said as she began slightly swaying back and forth.
Troy took hold of Gabriella's hand, Gabriella was yet to speak.
She just stood there, quietly, her shy personality returning.
Anna noticed the nervous smile on Gabriella's face; she passed Faith to Jack, and walked over to Gabriella.
Anna took Gabriella's hands into her own, " We've missed you around here Gabriella…"
Gabriella smiled and nodded; Anna had a tear now drizzling down her cheek, " Welcome home." She said as she reached out and pulled Gabriella into a loving hug.
Gabriella hugged back.
While Anna's face was still close to Gabriella's, she whispered, " He loves you so much…"
Gabriella felt tears brimming her own eyes, as Anna pulled away and gently rubbed her shoulder.
By this time, Troy had come up beside Gabriella, and draped his arm around her waist.
" It's fate, you know?" Anna said surely as Jack came to her side with Faith, " If you two weren't meant to be, then…you wouldn't be standing her in front of me!" Anna smiled as Jack reached across Anna's back, and placed a reassuring squeeze on her shoulder.
Troy and Gabriella looked at each other, and both smiled.
Faith began to whimper, seeing her mom right in front of her.
Gabriella laughed and reached her arms out to Faith; Jack eased up on his grip, and handed Faith over to her mom.
Gabriella rested the baby's head gently on the inside of her elbow.
Faith looked up, and reached a hand toward Gabriella's face.
Gabriella giggled, and gently rubbed Faith's small hand with her index finger.
Troy, who kept his hands on Gabriella's waist, was now behind her, and rested his head against hers as the two lovingly watched their daughter.
Gabriella leaned her head towards Troy's and let out a peaceful sigh.
Jack and Anna looked at the scene before them.
Anna brought a hand up, and carefully wiped the tears out of her eyes.
Jack noticed his wife's tears, as he pulled her closer to him.
Anna smiled.
Faith began trying to suckle on Gabriella's finger.
When there was no milk present, Faith began to whimper.
" Oh, shh, baby…it's ok." Gabriella's head came up and looked at Jack and Anna, " I think she's hungry…"
Anna's eyes lit up, " Well, we should all go back to our house! I would love to have you all to myself for a few hours before everyone knows you're here…except for your mother of course…"
Gabriella giggled, " I would like that too!"
Jack and Troy each picked up two suitcases each and started walking out of the airport, as Anna walked next to Gabriella and Faith.
