Chapter 15 'The Internet'

By Thetruemeaningoflove

Troy's point of view

As I walked back to my house I had a smile on my face, it was probably totally over the top and the cheesiest one you had ever seen but I really didn't care because I had found out that maybe Gabi liked me more than a best friend, I didn't care that everyone who was in the house was giving me really strange looks because I was happy, the only thing that made it look like it wasn't just me was the fact that Josh was holding my hand skipping as we walked into my home.

'Daddy, we are home!' Josh ran in after me and ran up to Carlos who scooped him up and started tickling him. I started laughing at Josh's attempts to get out of his father's hands but none of them seemed to work so he kept on giggling until Carlos thought that he had had enough touchier. Once Josh had his feet firmly back on the ground he ran over to me and took my hand. 'Twoy?' I looked down and saw that the 3 year old boy was doing a very cute face which meant that he wanted something.

'What do you want?' Josh smiled at me comment as he knew that this meant that I would do it for him. 'Well because Awunty Pay and Uncwel Seth are in dare bed room please can you get wem, last time I went it was icky!' I chuckled. I had often walked in on their icky moments which often included them making out or them beginning to take their cloths off for a special 'Activity'. I nodded and began walking up the stairs with Josh trailing behind me. I walked along the landing until I came to a room which had a SEon the door. Before entering I made sure that I knocked so that Josh would have to see that stuff he didn't want to see in the first place. I was glad I did when I heard scrambling around and whispered shouts asking where bit of clothing where and weather they looked okay.

After a while the door swung open to reveal a very flustered look Sharpay. I gave he a smirk and in reply she gave me her oh-so-famous pout with one of there eye brows a little higher then the other, 'Well my darling cousin I came up here to protect your God son from seeing the icky things that you and your boyfriend get up to!' what I had said make Sharpay look down at the toddler who had his hands covering his eyes as if they would burn if they were taken away.

'Oh sorry honey, Josh you can look at me now' Sharpay smiled down at the little boy who took his hands away from his face and smiled 'Fank you Twoy' Josh smiled at me then ran into Sharpay's room. 'Josh I'm gonna go shoot some hoops in the back yard so come and shout me before you go please' I walked into Sharpay's room a little as I said this and saw that Josh looked out the window, a worried look came on his face.

'But Twoy it's really dark outside and the monster will eat you!' Josh ran up to me and started hugging my legs really tightly. I chuckled and knelt down to Josh's height 'Bud there is no need to worry about me, I'll fight of the horrible monster' Josh nodded but he still didn't let go of my leg 'Seth will you come and get me when you leave?' Seth nodded his head and then sat on Sharpay's bed. 'Buddy what am I gonna have to so that you let go of my leg?' Josh loosened his grip a little and looked at me hard, then shrugged and gripped my leg the way he had before. 'How about I do you a deal?' Josh nodded, but there was still a glint of fear in his eyes. 'If I leave the light on outside then you know that I'm okay and you can look out the window whenever you want just to make sure that I am okay' the 3 year old loosened his grip on me again and but a smile on his face. 'And I heard that monsters are afraid of light' the little bit I added on the end make Josh let go of my leg altogether.

'See you in a while little man' I started to head out the door and down the stairs, but then I heard someone running behind me so I quickly turned around. 'I come wiv till da light on!' I smiled at how caring the little boy really was. So I took his hand and we headed out toward my back yard.

I was only outside for like 2 hours when I was shouted in by Seth. I picked up my basketball and made my way into the house. Everyone was standing in the hall way near the door. All the Seth was giving Shar a goodbye Hug and kiss, Carlos was finding his keys in his pockets and Alex was holding a sleeping Josh while giving my mom and dad a hug.

I sat down on the stairs and said my goodbyes to everyone. 'So who's gonna bring Josh in the morning on their way to school?' my mom asked and then looked around the present Montez's waiting to see who it would be 'I'll pick him up tomorrow I've got free period first so I don't need to be at school for homeroom' I suggested everyone nodded at me so I took it that no-one had any objections to me looking after Josh for a little in the morning. 'Kay what time shall I come in the morning?' I knew that Seth wouldn't have a clue in the world because he just got to school as soon as he was ready even if that meant he was late.

So I looked at Alexandra for an answer 'Well… I don't leave the house until like 7:30 so come round before then' I nodded and then watched as the people that we treated like family left.

I walked into the living room with my other family members following me and sat on the single sofa while everyone else took the other spare ones. 'So anything happen at the hospital?' my mom questioned and a small smile appeared on my face again. 'Well actually, Brie moved her hand while Josh was talking to her!' at that moment a copy of the smile that I was doing was placed onto my parents and Sharpay's face. 'Really?' Sharpay asked and I nodded. 'Well what does it mean?' My mom asked always being the sensible one 'Well it could me she is waking up but…' everyone looked at me as I picked up the Sports magazine next to me.

'But…?' everyone was still staring at me in suspense. I looked up and shrugged my shoulders 'I didn't wanna hear the rest so I made the doctor stop there!' My mom laughed while my dad and Sharpay sighed at me. 'Right I'm going up see you in the morning' I kissed both the lady's on the cheek and just said night to my dad before walking up stairs, in the shower and then into bed.

The next morning I was around the Montez's house for 7:15. Josh wasn't even out of his Spiderman Pajama's. I gave Alex a questioning look 'He wanted Troy to help him get changed to day. I did try he has had his breakfast, his bag for today is by the stairs and his clothes are on the bed, but I'm gonna go now so I'll see you later' Alex walked past me and started to make her way to the door, but on the way she kissed Josh on the head and then have me a hug.

'Come on bud lets go get ready shall we?' Once Josh had realized that I was in the room he smiled and ran up to me 'Twoy!' I chuckled and then started my way upstairs to Josh's room. Like Alex had said his clothes were laid on his bed, I smiled it kinder reminded me of Gabriella, she would always lay things out on my bed if they were on the floor or in some else's room but she didn't really lay their clothes out if they had to wear them.

I didn't really have to help Josh get ready all I had to do was help him get his shirt over his head, put his socks on and then put his shoes on for him. I made my way down the stairs and picked up the superman bag on the way down. I chuckled as Josh ran out the house and up to my car. Gabriella did that all the time making sure that I was the one that locked up after we had been at her house.

I placed Josh in the car seat that was in my car and when around to the divers side and got in the car. I looked in mirror to see what Josh was doing and noticed that he was talking to himself. He did that a lot so I knew not to disturb him the last time I did that he nearly bit my head off because he was thinking about something 'imwpotand' other wise known as important. So I turned the radio on and listen to what people were talking about when I found out that it was nothing interesting I turned it off and drove in silence.

'Twoy?' I looked around to the little boy that was sitting in the back of my car 'What's wrong buddy?' his facial expression was confused mixed with a little bit of worry 'Will Gabi be able to come to my birthday party?' Josh was gonna be 3 in two weeks. Gabriella had been getting Josh really excited by making the invites or looking through magazines of what he wants and what he would do with what he got from different people.

'Well I don't really know but I hope she will!' Josh looked at my and thought about the answer I gave him, when he understood what I said he nodded his head and looked out at the window.

When I was back home with Josh. I walked in to find my mother on the computer with a big grin on her face. 'Mom, why are you looking so happy' she laughed at me then walked over to Josh who was trying to climb onto the high breakfast bar stools. I watched as she carefully lifted Josh up and placed him on the seat he had been trying to sit on. Once he was there he immediately reached for the middle and grabbed one of the cookies, I copied Josh's actions and took one of the cookies my mom had made the day before.

'So?' I looked at my mom and she sat down on the stool next to Josh. 'Well I booked a holiday for your dad and I' she looked pretty pleased with herself for actually using the internet to do something, when she didn't say anything I gave her the gesture to carry on. 'Well it will be for when after Annabella is born and I was kinda hoping that maybe you and Gabi would be able to look after her, Sharpay could help when she isn't at school and your dad said that he would talk to you teachers and see if they could email you the work and plus if you were both at home you could look after Josh please?' I laughed at how my mom was starting to sound desperate.

'Sure mom me and Gabi would love to look after our God daughter so no need to panic and plus Brie wouldn't have it another way unless we looked after Josh as well' I laughed when my mom let out a sigh of relief.

'Right I gotta go, so I will see you after school but I will be late because of basket ball practice' I kissed my mom on the cheek and then gave Josh a hug. 'Bye' with that I walked out the house and made my way to school.
