Chapter 39 – Finally! In a gym?! What?!
It had been 3 months since Jayden was born and Gabriella had decided since it would be the end of the school year she wouldn't go back till after the summer. Right now, Gabriella, Troy and Jayden Kyle were all sitting in the stands at Kyle's championship game against the West High knights when the referee blew for half time. Gabriella looked at Troy who was nodding at someone before she followed his trance and saw Kyle smirking before gathering all the Wildcats up. Gabriella looked back at Amanda, Chloe and her parents and brother who shrugged, all looking just as confused as Gabriella. Just then she felt someone tap her shoulder and turned back to see Jack standing next to her but Troy missing.
"Jack what's going on?" Gabriella asked while handing Jayden who had been situated in his mother's lap to Chloe.
"Come with me." Jack told her as she looked at him bewildered and followed him down the steps and to the edge of the court. "Stay there." Gabriella nodded as she looked around trying to figure out what was going on. Just then she saw Troy walk towards her grinning before leading her to the middle of the court where Kyle and the other players were standing.
"Gabi I don't know if you remember but the day you agreed to be my girlfriend the first time around was the happiest day in my life. You are probably wondering 'what the hell is Troy doing?' well I was trying to figure this out and Kyle asked me what represented us best and I thought back to everything and the only thing that was in all of those memories was basketball. I first realized I was in love after the triple win, we spent a lot of alone time in here when I should have been practising during lunches and free periods, you came to my every game. That was all in High School. Then when we first met up again it was here and when you first saw me again after I left it was at my basketball game and that is why I believe there is no other better place to do this than here. Gabriella Montez I have loved you from the very first moment we met but it took me a while to actually realize it. When I did I knew you were special and someone who I wanted to have a future with. Since we have been back together my feelings have grown even stronger and now you have given me the most amazing son ever and I love you more than words can say that is why," Troy stopped as he got down on one knee as Gabriella gasped and brought her hand to her mouth as tears filled her eyes, "I was wondering if you would do me the greatest honour and become my wife?" Troy looked at Gabriella nervously as he waited for her to answer.
"Yes." She said quietly but loud enough for Troy to here as he produced a white gold diamond engagement ring (in profile Gabriella's Engagement Ring) and slipped it on her finger before picking her up and twirling her around and kissing her as everyone cheered. Troy placed her back down and rested his forehead against hers.
"I love you Gabriella." Troy whispered.
"I love you too Troy." Gabriella replied as they kissed again before Kyle interrupted.
"If you two have finished I have a game to get back to." The two pulled apart and looked at Kyle.
"What no congratulations?" Troy sarcastically asked.
"Congratulations now get lost." Gabriella laughed as she pulled Troy to the side of the court where they were both greeted by a hug from Jack.
"Welcome to the family Gabi." Jack said.
"Thanks. That sounds good right now." He smiled as the referee blew his whistle to indicate all the players to return to the court. Gabriella and Troy made their way back to their families, Gabriella instantly being handed a whimpering Jayden at having lost his mom before while Chloe lunged herself of Troy.
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Troy gave his mom and Gabriella a confused look as Chloe squeezed him tighter into a hug.
"Chloe can't breathe." Chloe let go and grinned sheepishly.
"Sorry but I'm so happy. You actually kept this promise." Troy looked at her confused as he sat down with Gabriella sitting on the other side of him and her mom talking to her. "You promised me when we first met Gabi that you would one day make her my sister and you are so thank you." Troy laughed and shook his head as he wrapped his arm around Gabriella and Jayden who had fallen asleep on her shoulder as they all turned their attention to the game.
Gabriella was outside trying to calm a screaming Jayden down. The wildcats once again won the championship and of course in typical Bolton style Kyle got the winning shot. With all the noise and screaming going on Jayden was woken and started crying because of all the noise. Gabriella had snuck out with him while everyone congratulated Kyle and everyone.
"Shh. Mommy's here. Go back to sleep Jayden." Gabriella soothed as she felt a hand slip around her waist.
"I lost the two of you." Troy whispered as Gabriella smiled and handed Jayden to his father where he instantly settled down.
"Oh thanks go to sleep for daddy but not mommy." Troy laughed as he held his son tightly in his arms. "How come you're not still in there with them?"
"Kyle was making out with Melissa and Chloe was going all mushy over Craig while Paul and our parents talked and I didn't feel like being with them on my own since I knew you were around somewhere but I didn't know where." Troy told her as she wrapped her arms around his waist. "What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing. Just how happy I am right now. I still can't believe we're parents yet alone now engaged. It just seems like yesterday we were still together in high school and now we have responsibilities but I wouldn't change it. I love you so much Troy." Gabriella admitted.
"I love you too and of course we both love you Jayden." Troy kissed Jayden's forehead before kissing Gabriella softly on the lips.
"I come out to escape all that and the parents boring talk so please stop." The two pulled away to see Paul standing behind them.
"Hey." Troy said as Paul walked closer to the two.
"I have a question Troy. You do realize what you have gotten yourself into with my sister. You're now going to be stuck with her for life and trust me you are going to need help if that lasts." Gabriella gasped and smacked him on the arm as Troy laughed.
"Stop laughing because it's not funny. You're mean Paul." Gabriella pouted as Troy grinned at her and Paul shook his head.
"I thought you were a mom. Mom's don't pout." Paul told her cheekily.
"Well this mommy does when people are mean to her." Gabriella answered back her eyes sparkling with happiness that even Paul noticed. "What?"
"You really are happy aren't you?" Gabriella nodded. "You can see it in your eyes. The sparkle when you're happy. They always have but now they are shining brighter than ever before." Paul explained as she smiled and let go of Troy and hugged him.
"I'm glad we made up." She whispered as Jayden started whimpering again.
"He's probably hungry." Gabriella guessed.
"Why don't you two take him home and get him settled and I'll go tell all the others." Paul suggested seeing Troy gently rock him.
"That would be great. Thanks Paul. We'll see you later." Gabriella and Troy walked back to their car, Gabriella putting Jayden into his carrier that had been left in the car.
After Gabriella had breast fed him which she had been doing, she and Troy put him to bed before curling up in front of the TV for a quiet night for themselves when they heard a gentle tap on the door.
"I'll go." Troy got up and opened it surprised to see everyone at their door. "If you're coming in you can't make much noise because we just got him to go down." Troy told them as they walked in. "I thought you were telling them we left not to come round." Troy said to Paul who was last in.
"I did but they thought it would be a good idea to bring the party to you then." Troy rolled his eyes as he followed them through and smirked when he saw Gabriella's face. They both knew they had a great bunch of friends and family but sometimes they were a little annoying with their out of the blue ideas.
Gabriella and Troy were sitting down talking to Kyle who was letting Melissa rest on his chest.
"You do know he had an ulterior motive for asking you the way he did?" Kyle started as he slowly moved the swing he and Melissa were on.
"Oh really and what was that?" Gabriella asked as Troy glared at Kyle.
"He knew if he did it that way there was less chance of you rejecting him." Gabriella laughed as Troy groaned at Kyle.
"Well I think that was sweet that he was willing to put his reputation on the line and risk proposing in front of everyone just because he wanted to make sure there was a higher percentage of me saying yes." Gabriella told him as Kyle's jaw dropped and Troy looked at her in surprise.
"You're not mad?" Kyle asked baffled.
"Nope. He did it that way because he loves me that much I know that he obviously desperately wants to make me his wife so why would I?" Troy smirked as Kyle frowned.
"How is it anything I think is good to use against people never is? I mean I don't get it." Troy shook his head while Gabriella rolled her eyes.
"You should try and come up with something worthwhile because it's hardly going to make anyone mad the stuff you find out." Gabriella pointed out.
"I hate you for being so right all the time." Gabriella smiled at Melissa who looked away from her boyfriend embarrassed.
"Trust me you get used to all the Bolton annoying traits found in these two Bolton brothers." Gabriella assured her as they laughed.
Finally having managed to kick everyone else out Troy and Gabriella went to bed exhausted. They had changed Jayden's diaper and checked him so he would be down for another few hours giving the two some quiet time together.
"I still can't believe I'm going to be Mrs Gabriella Bolton soon." Gabriella spoke as a small smile played on the edge of Troy's lips hearing his name after Gabriella's.
"Well I've always known, I guess, that you would be even when we weren't together because there was no one else that could match up to you and your standards in my opinion." Troy told her as she leaned up and kissed him.
"I can't wait for us to get married and become man and wife." Gabriella mumbled against his lips.
"Me either." Troy pulled her on top of him as they slowly started to remove their clothes and celebrate their engagement in a very mature way that only required them for celebrating.
