Epilogue
THE alarm clock clanged and rang loudly through the Bolton household. Gabriella Bolton groaned tiredly and slammed the alarm clock off the cupboard and allowed it to clatter loudly on the floor. She intended on ignoring it.
"Gabi, 'Troy, her husband mumbled from beside her, his head buried under the blanket, "Alarm clock."
"You do it!" Gabriella said.
A moment later their bedroom door opened and their five year old daughter Lucy walked in holding her two year old brother Leo in her arms.
"Mama, Leo's hungry." Lucy said softly.
Gabriella sat up tiredly and looked at her daughter who was holding her sandy haired, brown eyed brother, Leo in her arms. She smiled softly and shook her head whilst she turned the alarm clock off and promptly placed it back on the cupboard.
"Lucy, what have I told you about holding your brother?" Gabriella asked sternly.
Lucy blushed a little and set Leo down on the floor. The toddler crawled towards his mother and Gabriella picked him up and sat him on the bed beside her.
"You told me never to pick Leo up when you're not around." Lucy said softly.
Gabriella smiled, "Good girl."
Lucy smiled devilishly.
"Go on downstairs and I'll be down to make breakfast." Gabriella ordered and Lucy bounced out of the room and Gabriella listened to her rushing downstairs.
Gabriella placed Leo on the floor and he started crawling around the bedroom. Gabriella turned to Troy who was now snoring under the blanket. She lifted the blanket and straddled her husband giggling.
"Troy, wake up now!" She demanded.
He mumbled incoherently and shook his head.
"It's the start of the holidays and Lucy will be at school and my Mom is having Leo for two hours and…well…we'll have the house to ourselves…the quicker you get up the quicker we can…satisfy each other." Gabriella giggled.
"What about Henry and Clarice?" Troy asked tiredly.
"Their making breakfast and then their having a picnic somewhere! They won't be back until later." Gabriella said.
Troy woke immediately and sat up with his wife still on his lap.
"Right, I'm up!" He said brightly and Gabriella kissed him hard on the lips.
A moment later there was a knock on the door and Gabriella and Troy broke apart. It was Henry. He caught sight of the couple's intimate position and blushed.
"Oh, good morning Henry." Gabriella laughed pulling herself away from Troy.
"Good morning, um…shall I take the baby down?" He asked them.
"Yes, thank you." Gabriella said and Henry walked into the room and picked up Leo who began giggling wildly in his arms as he tickled him.
"Henwy! Henwy!" Leo laughed clapping his hands adorably.
Gabriella chuckled and watched Henry carry her son out before she turned to her husband.
"Come on, breakfast will be ready soon and I'm starving." She said and she kissed his nose before pulling off him, getting out of bed and walking downstairs.
"LUCY don't rush your food, 'Troy ordered as he poured Gabriella another glass of orange juice, "you're going to make yourself sick."
"Sorry Daddy." Lucy said smiling tenderly.
"She's just eager to get back to school. First day after the holidays, is Corbin excited?" Gabriella asked her daughter tenderly.
Lucy shrugged her shoulders and Gabriella smiled, Lucy had gone a deep crimson.
Gabriella met Troy's eye and grinned and he ruffled his daughter's hair as she finished her final pancake.
"Mama, can we go and get changed now?" Lucy asked as Gabriella gushed over a giggling Leo.
"Sure, let's go sweetie." Gabriella said and she took Lucy's hand and led her upstairs to get ready for school.
Henry turned to Troy who was stroking their St Bernard, Bear. He smiled at his employer and came and sat beside him.
"Did Jason phone last night?" Henry asked.
"Oh yeah, he and Kelsi are struggling with the baby. She's a little terror apparently." Troy laughed.
Kelsi had given birth to a daughter a week ago who they called Amber, she was an adorable little bundle of joy but she exhausted her parents who doted on her.
"Oh bless them. They'll get used to it. Both Lucy and Leo kept us up for hours!" Troy said sipping his coffee.
A moment later Clarice walked in and Henry perked up immediately; Troy smirked into his coffee as both elder's blushed at one another. Clarice and Henry officially started dated two weeks ago and it was very sweet. Henry was taking Clarice on a romantic picnic that afternoon. Troy always knew it was coming; Clarice and Henry had been dancing around each other for years.
Both Henry and Clarice were now not very fit enough to do some of the work around the house. Troy and Gabriella did the more labouring things but this did not bother them. Gabriella loved to help out for she never succeeded her dream of becoming a teacher. If she had perhaps not had children when she was with Troy she might've gone on to do what she wanted but now she just wanted to be with her family. She loved them. Troy told her that one day when the children were gone she'd regret it but she always told him that she wouldn't! Having a family had always been another one of Gabriella's dreams and that made her more proud than ever.
"Does Gabriella know you're going away for the weekend to Spain to inspect 'The Bolton' you said you'd tell her?" Henry asked.
"Oh yeah, I told her last night." Troy said nodding as he fed Leo is baby food, Troy was still a very big business man, the wealthiest man in Albuquerque but he didn't make a big deal out of it!
A moment later Lucy came bounding into the room, her fantastic Ultramarine eyes glimmering with eagerness. Gabriella followed her in a second later.
"Why is that Miss Lucy? I thought a princess just walked into the room." Clarice said placing a hand to her chest, feigning shock.
Lucy giggled, "Yes Clarice! It's me!" Lucy was dressed in a soft yellow summer dress and her hair was tied up in a sparkling yellow bobble.
"You look very lady like baby." Troy said nodding.
"Corbin will love you dress sweetie." Gabriella said reassuringly.
Lucy went red and ducked her head, "I don't care what Corbin thinks Mama! I'm going to school!" She said sternly.
Gabriella giggled and turned to Troy.
"Go get changed, we'll be leaving soon." She said.
Troy stood and saluted her and he kissed her nose tenderly before he walked out of the room to go get changed. Gabriella made her way over to Leo who was busy trying to grab Lupins tail and picked him up.
"Oh no Mr! We're getting you changed too."
"Mama! Mama!" Leo said softly and she carried him out of the room sighing, soon they'd both be grown up…perhaps another baby…perhaps just one more!
THEY had just arrived outside the gates of the school and Sharpay and Zeke had arrived with Damien, now ten years old.
"Are you excited for your first day back Damien?" Troy asked his nephew gently.
Damien nodded quickly.
"He's talked of nothing all week but school." Sharpay said stroking her son's hair.
Gabriella turned to look at her daughter who stood holding her hand. She was bouncing up and down nervously and her eyes skimmed the children and their parents. She was looking for someone.
"What's wrong sweetie?" Gabriella asked, taking her daughter's bag off Troy and handing it to her.
"Are you sure Corbie is coming Mama?" She asked impatiently, Lucy from a very young age called Corbin 'Corbie' and only she could call him it. Nobody else would attempt it.
"He'll be here Lucy, just be –"
"CORBIN!" Lucy screamed spotting another five year old walking towards them.
Corbin looked very handsome in his best jeans and a smart shirt. It looked as if his mother had attempted to fix his hair and Corbin had put up a fight. His hair was as wild as ever. He was sporting a basketball under his arm.
Gabriella approached Taylor and smiled, "Did you have any problems getting Corbin ready?" She asked.
"A few but we managed it!" Taylor laughed; she touched her slightly swollen stomach and smiled.
Taylor was pregnant again, with a second child! They had decided that if it was a girl they would name her Kia and if it were a boy they'd name him Mathew. Chad was delighted but Taylor was exhausted.
Corbin left go of his mother's and father's hand and dashed over to Lucy.
"Hey Lucy, 'Corbin said smartly, "Um…you're not going…going to play…wiv any of the girls today right! You're going to play basketball with me, right?" He asked hopefully.
"Yeah Corbie! We can play basketball!" Lucy replied and Corbin looked thoroughly relieved and let out a sigh of contentment.
"Do you like my dress Corbie? I picked it out special!" Lucy said proudly, she twirled around and Corbin smiled, he was slightly less disinterested but he would do anything to please Lucy.
"Yeah! It's pretty." He replied nodding.
Lucy took Corbin's hand and led him over to their parents. Chad, Troy and Sharpay were talking amongst each other; Sharpay was holding a rather tired Leo in her arms.
Zeke was kneeling down with his son talking to him and Damien was nodding exuberantly to whatever his father was saying to him. A moment later he was handing over his lunchbox so they were probably talking about what cake Zeke had made for Damien.
A moment later Ryan and his girlfriend, Mina arrived. They had no children as of yet but they had promised to see their nephews and nieces off. Corbin, Lucy and Damien rushed over to them.
"You came Uncle Ryan." Damien said cheerfully.
"Didn't you believe us when we said we were coming?" Mina laughed.
They dragged them over to their parents and all adults stood together, the bell had rung and every parent stood and watched their child walk through the playground. Some little ones hung back to kiss their parents goodbye, some screamed in protest, they didn't want to go in.
Lucy kissed her mother and father and everyone else. She took Corbin's head and led him off into the playground.
Troy looked across at Gabriella and found her crying softly.
"Hey sweetie, what's the matter?" He asked slipping and arm around his wife's shoulder.
"I can't believe how fast their all growing." Gabriella laughed wiping the stray tear from her cheek.
"Me either! They'll do fine." Troy promised her.
"I never knew my life could be so perfect." Gabriella sighed softly.
Troy kissed the side of her cheek and smiled at her; Gabriella took Leo out of his and cuddled him close to her.
Gabriella and Troy often visited Richard's grave because Gabriella had forgiven him in her mind. She did not bare a grudge against Richard for he had not been well. He was sick in the mind and had suffered much in his life. She looked at her friends and family around her and smiled to herself, never had she thought she'd be free but here she was…with her family…being loved!
