All That Matters
A High School Musical Two-Shot
Part II

"Alright, Gia. See you when you get home, honey. Love you." Troy Bolton said into his phone. His daughter was currently at a birthday dinner with her friends downtown.
His wife, Gabriella was still asleep upstairs in their master bedroom. He was finishing the last minute decor outside. Today was their daughter Gianna's fourteenth birthday. Wow, has she ever grown up quick, Troy thought to himself.
"Hey, Troy." Sharpay said coming in through the back patio doors. Since she was so good at designing, he had her plan Gianna's whole birthday party.
Troy smiled as Sharpay came into the family room. "Hey, Shar. How's it going out there?"
Sharpay wobbled across the floor to join Troy on the couch. "Great actually. It's just as I imagined it would be. Gianna is going to love it, Bolton."
Troy glanced down at her six month old belly. She was now pregnant with her and Zeke's third child. A girl. They were planning on naming her Natalia. They had two other children, twin boys; Nicholas and Nathaniel. He coughed. "Are you sure you should be doing all this in your condition?"
Sharpay giggled. "Of course I can, silly. Where's Gabi?"
Troy shrugged. "She's still sleeping."
Sharpay raised her eyebrows. "Wow, it's like ten-thirty in the morning. Why isn't she up?"
"I'm not sure. We did watch a few movies last night," Troy implied. "She might be tired from those."
"Just go wake up sleeping beauty now." Sharpay told Troy as she got up and strut away.

"Brie," Troy said coming into the dimly lit master bedroom.
Gabriella was sleeping peacefully on the bed. Troy stood there and watched her sleep. She looked so beautiful sleeping. He loved how silky and soft her dark brown hair was, and her cheekbones were absolutely flawless. Her skin was soft and well moisturized.
Troy smiled and began to shake her awake. "Gabi, Gabriella...Wake up." He said.
Gabriella tossed a little before opening her brown eyes. She blinked a few times and rubbed her eyes.
She smiled at the sight of her husband. "Hey."
Troy smiled. "Goodmorning, sleeping beauty."
Gabriella yawned. "What time is it anyways?"
Troy looked at his watch. "Ten forty-one. It's Gianna's fourteenth birthday."
Gabriella looked up at the vaulted ceilings of their bedroom. Was it really a dream?
"Gabs?" Troy said. He laid next to her. "What's wrong?"
"I had a dream...you," Gabriella began. She should keep it to herself. "Nevermind."
"I know what it was!" Troy exclaimed. "You were talking in your sleep."
Gabriella smiled. "Really? What was I saying?"
Troy grinned. "You were like ohhhh, baby, oh my God, Troyyy!"
Gabriella playfully slapped her husband as she climbed out of the bed. "Shut up!"
Troy laughed to himself as Gabriella opened the door to their en suite. "Where you going?" Troy asked.
Gabriella turned around. "I'm going to shower," She rolled her eyes as Troy got up. "Alone."
Troy pretended to cry. "I see how it is."
Gabriella smiled and went to shower.

"I'm back!" Gianna said coming in through the front door. She placed her gifts on the front table and made her way through the spacious house to the kitchen.
"Hey, sweetheart." Troy smiled.
Gianna glanced down at her iPhone and looked back up at her dad. "What's going on outside?"
"Nothing. They're just decorating for your party. How many people RSVPed already?" Troy asked.
"Twenty-two, I believe. Anyways, who did you guys invite?" Gianna said as she opened the fridge and took out a waterbottle.
Troy nodded before answering. "We invited the usual. Shar, Zeke, Nate and Nick. Kelsi, Ryan, Chad and Taylor. And your aunt Mildred," Troy thought. "And Grandma and Papa."
Gianna nodded. "Where's Maddie?"
"She just got home from Jesse's. She's getting ready to take you birthday shopping and to lunch." Troy answered.
Gianna and Madison had a great sisterly bond for their age. Most sisters would fight and argue. Gianna and Maddie didn't.
"Where's Mom?" Gianna asked sitting on a bar stool next to the island in the kitchen.

"I'm right here," Gabriella smiled and came into the kitchen. "Happy Birthday, angel."
Gianna smiled. "Thanks, Mommy. Where's my present?"
Gabriella glanced at Troy. "I thought we agreed to give her most of them at her party."
Troy grinned. "I know. I picked her present up an hour ago. I'll go get it."
Gabriella smiled and kissed her husband on the lips before starting to cook herself breakfast.

"Here it is," Troy came into the kitchen with a small pomsky dog.
Gianna dropped what she was doing and ran over to her father. She had tears in her eyes. "Daddy! Thank you!"
"It's from Mommy, too, sweetheart." Gabriella added.
Gianna hugged her mother and then took the dog out of Troy's arms. "Thanks so much!"
Troy held Gabriella around the waist as she laid back on him lovingly. "You're welcome, baby girl," Troy smiled.
"What are you naming the little cutie?" Gabriella asked.
Gianna shrugged. "I'm not sure. Where's Mads?"

"I'm right here, Gianna." Madison smiled and came into the kitchen holding a small box with a bow.
"Morning, honey." Troy smiled.
Madison smiled and hugged her father. "Morning, Pops."
"Are you ready to go?" Gianna asked.
Madison turned around and smile when she saw the dog. "I picked it out." She smiled proudly to herself.
"What should I name her, Maddie?" Gianna asked.
"Hmm," Madison bit her lip as she thought. "How about something really girly like Stella?"
Gianna grinned. "Perfect!" She held the dog in the air. "We'll call her Stella Bolton."
"Are you ready to go, birthday girl?" Madison asked as she held up her keys for her Range Rover. "Cause I am."
Gianna nodded. "I'm ready,"
Gabriella handed Gianna her credit card. "Don't spend too much. One thousand is your limit, Princess." She warned.
"When I was your age I was happy with ten dollars," Troy laughed.
"I'm sorry your childhood sucked, Daddy. Haha." Gianna laughed.
"I am too," Troy joked. "Anyways, get going. The guests will be here by two."

Gabriella sat down in her office upstairs while every one worked on getting her daughter's fourteenth birthday party ready. She had been thinking about what her dream could have meant. Was Troy having an affair? Was he thinking about it?
She decided to Google it and then let it go.
Gabriella reached over and turned on her Apple computer.

She read through a few articles and it all just said it was her imagination and that it probably didn't mean anything.
"Gabs, you in here?" Kelsi said as she walked in.
Gabriella shut off her computer and smiled. "Hey, Kels. How are you?"
Kelsi came over to Gabriella's desk. "I'm great actually. No matter how many times I've been here, I tend to get lost."
Gabriella laughed. "You and me both!"
"So, what are you up to?" Kelsi asked.
Gabriella shrugged. "I'm just on the interweb."
"What are you on?" Kelsi asked as she sat on the arm of Gabriella's chair.
"Just Google," Gabriella explained. "I'm going for a jog now, though. Wanna join?"
"Nah," Kelsi denied Gabriella's offer. "I don't run."

"Troy, Gabriella's back from her run now." Troy's father said coming into the master bedroom.
Troy fixed his shirt and smiled. "Can you go check on the food outside?"
"Go give your wife some love. She looks lonely in the kitchen," Jack laughed. "And I will go check on everything."

Troy came into the kitchen and Gabriella was just finishing blending up a smoothie for herself. She had just gotten home from a run and was wearing a sports bra, a pair of spandex leggings, and her running shoes. Her brown hair was in a ponytail.
She glanced up and turned off the blender. "Hey,"
Troy grinned as he took in her very well toned figure. "Hey,"
Gabriella was a very fit person. She loved being toned and sexy for her husband. She worked out a lot and loved to be fit. She began working out when Gianna turned three and has been at it ever since. She was usually skinny but now she was more curvy and well toned.
"Quit checking me out," Gabriella laughed as she poured the refreshment into a glass.
Troy came over to her. "Well, quit being so hot."
Gabriella smirked. "Maybe I will if it makes you this crazy,"
Troy laughed and kissed her on the lips lovingly. "Please don't. Stay sexy. I love seeing my sexy wife everyday."
Gabriella sat on the counter and pulled Troy in between her legs and gave him a long and passionate kiss.

"Eww!" Madison said as her and Gianna came into the kitchen holding numerous bags from various stores.
Gabriella and Troy pulled away laughing and wiping they mouths from the saliva they shared during their kiss.
"Yuck," Gianna said as she put her dog on the ground.
Gabriella began to giggle. "Both of you girls just go upstairs and get ready for the party. Most of the guests are already outside."
Madison laughed sarcastically. "Says the one wearing a pair of spandex and a sports bra."
"Just go!" Gabriella laughed.
"Awkward moment when your mother has better abs than you," Gianna laughed as she followed Madison upstairs.

Troy kissed Gabriella on the lips again as she changed out of her sports bra and spandex.
Gabriella put on a pair of skinny jeans, and a white blouse. She then placed a pair of white suede pumps on her feet. "Quit kissing. The party is going on right now."
Troy laughed. "How about we skip it and make a baby like we talked about?"
Gabriella rolled her eyes. "We'll try later tonight. I promise."
"Well, let's go down now. Before all those teenagers eat all the food."

Gabriella, Troy and their children sat around the dining room table. The party was now over and they were waiting for their housekeepers to clean up the mess. So for the meantime, Gabriella decided to make them all some tea and spend some quality time together.
"So, how did you like the party, Gia?" Troy asked.
Gianna grinned. "I absolutely loved it. You guys are the best parents ever. I couldn't have asked for better ones."
Gabriella smiled. "We did it because we love you."
"I love you too." Gianna smiled.
"So, Maddie..." Gabriella looked over to her eldest daughter. "How is Eric and his parents?"
Eric was Madison's boyfriend. They were best friends but turned into something a little more a few months ago.
"They're great," Madison said looking up from her cell phone. "Can I take Gianna somewhere?"
"That's good," Gabriella smiled. "And to where?"
"Nine Zero One. I wanna get my nails done," Madison laughed.
"Same," Gianna agreed. "Can we?"
"Why not?" Troy asked. "Have fun, girls."

Gabriella finished vacuuming the family room carpet and glanced at Troy. "Why did you want the girls out of the house so bad?"
"So we can clean up," Troy smiled.
"Mmm," Gabriella raised her eyebrows before talking in her seductive voice. "I thought since they're gone...we can try for another right now."
"I think I love that idea," Troy smiled.

"Night, Maddie," Gabriella said as she walked out of Maddie's large bedroom.
She walked down the hall and opened the double doors to Gianna's bedroom. She was laying on the bed on her laptop. "Night, sweetheart," Gabriella smiled.
Gianna looked up. "Night, Mommy. Thanks for the amazing party."
Gabriella blew a kiss. "No problem, sweetie. Get some beauty sleep, lovely."
"Love you, Mom." Gianna blew a kiss back.
"You too."

Gabriella rolled over to face Troy as he slept beside her. How could she have ever thought he would cheat on her?
She kissed him on the cheek, causing him to open his eyes.
"I'm sorry," Gabriella said as she kissed him again.
"For what?" Troy asked sleepily.
"Nothing," Gabriella smiled. "I just love you so much, never forget that."
