Everyone's bellies were full of food and cake and their feet were starting to hurt from the hours of dancing. It was nearing 9:30 at night and the younger Bolton children were sleeping across the chairs at their table. Maria and Walter had gathered their belongings kissed her family goodnight and she and Walter left for their hotel that was right across the street.
Troy was rubbing Lissy's feet while Gabriella ran around paying the caterers and the DJ's. Camryn was walking around the reception hall randomly taking pictures of everything she saw, mostly out of boredom.
"Thank you so much, my feet hurt like hell," Lissy said as he continued to rub her feet. Troy chuckled thinking that at that moment she sounded just like her mother, "You and your mom are one in the same."
"I hope that's a good thing," she smiled at his words.
"It is," he laughed, "You know at first I was never really good at this. I finally figured it out when your mom was pregnant with the twins."
Lissy smiled, "No wonder she was angry all the time," she joked.
"Are you okay," Troy asked when he saw that she was starting to have a sad look on her face. She looked up with water welling in her eyes, "Yeah I'm fine, I don't know why I'm crying," She paused, "I lied. I'm not fine. I didn't mean to make him so mad," she said wiping away the tears that came out of her eyes. Troy let go of his daughter's foot and moved to pull her in for a hug, he held her as she cried and rubbed her back to console her.
"I didn't mean to make Uncle David mad or make you guys mad," she said.
"Melissa Grace Bolton we are not mad at you, I can't say that David isn't mad but I think he's more mad at himself then mad at you. We all know that this is hard for you because we've been through it and when you have these babies you'll realize that you will want better for them, and that you will not want them to make the same hard decisions that we had to make. But most of all you don't want to see them hurt or sad and when they are you're angry at yourself because you promised that you would never let them be hurt by anything. You don't want to see them get a scraped knee or fall off their bike but most of all you don't want to see your baby get hurt by someone they love especially if it results in bring more babies in the world," Troy said, "So don't be angry at David because he's angry at himself."
Troy couldn't believe he was actually defending David but he didn't want his daughter hating her biological father because he was upset at himself; it was the right thing to do.
"I promise that I wont let either of them join in the Montez/Bolton teen parent club," She smiled wiping the rest of the tears away.
"Good, I'll hold you to that," Troy said then gave her another hug.
They arrived back home around 10:45 and all of them were looking forward to lying in their comfy beds. Gabriella was changing into her sweat pants when Troy walked into their room and plopped down face first onto the queen size bed, he groaned, "When did our lives become an episode of All my children."
Gabriella giggled, "I would have to say when the strip turned pink the first time," she said pulling her hair into a bun. She climbed onto her husbands back and began massaging his back and shoulders.
"Are you okay," she asked while he groaned into her massage.
"Yeah, just worrying about everything," he said then flipped himself around and held Gabriella's hips to keep her in place.
"Why are you worrying, I thought that worrying was my thing," She said running her fingers through his saggy brown hair.
"I don't know. I guess I just feel bad for Lissy, she really doesn't know what to think about everything," he said staring in his wife's deep brown eyes.
"Yeah I do too but I trust in the fact that she'll make the best decision for herself and for her babies."
"Me too," he said pulling Gabriella into a laying position on top of him, "She's a great girl, you did wonderful job," he said brushing away a strand of her hair from her face.
"Thanks but I didn't do it alone, I wouldn't have done such a great job without you. And you know what you make beautiful babies Troy Bolton," she smiled her cute little kid smile.
"Thank you but those babies wouldn't be here is you didn't have an amazing body and drive me wild," he smiled rubbing her lower back under her tank top.
She leaned down and connected her lips with his in a long passionate breathtaking kiss. When air became a necessity they broke apart, "I love you," Gabriella said getting lost in Troy's ocean eyes. "I love you too," he responded. They laid there just staring at each other not needing to say anything until Gabriella nodded her head yes, knowing exactly what he was going to ask. He smiled widely and got up and shut the door.
