Chapter 37- Good-bye and Hello

"Taylor who is going to be the ring bear and flower girl?" I asked tapping at my laptop keyboard. We had gotten home three days ago, only two more days until Troy was back home. I could only smile at the thought.

"Well for the ring boy I wanted my cousin Josh, who is seven" She said she then tapped her chin, "And I want Chads niece Avery" She said, I nodded and then I tossed her the phone.

"Call them, I am gonna need dress sizes and tux sizes, as soon as Troy and Chad get back, I am dragging all of the boys shopping, did you find a dress for them to wear?" I asked

"Yeah, go to the website, I will show you the dress. I just want the tux like the rest of them," She said shrugging her shoulders.

I nodded and got on the website and I looked up the one, when I passed it she pointed towards it. I nodded my head and then she started talking to somebody.

"Hey, Alyse! It's Taylor!" She said it was Chad's sister.

There was a pause for her to speak; my feet are propped up on the table and my laptop on my lap. My belly sticking out, after another doctor's office visit last night.

"Well…I was wondering if cute little Avery wanted to be in Chad and my wedding" She said, Taylor smiled and nodded her head.

"Awesome! But, we are ordering dresses today and we need her size, or if you are planning on coming around at all we can take her in to be fitted" She said

"Umm…Chad is only home for like three days until he leaves again for two games and then is back for about five days" She said, she tucked a piece of hair behide her ear.

"Alright, yeah that's awesome! I will tell Chad, he will be super excited!" Taylor said with a laugh, I smiled and messed around on the internet, my phone started ringing.

"Ahh…Troy!" I cried, he laughed on the other end.

"Brie!"

"Two days!"

"Nope, more like tomorrow! I am flying out tomorrow early for home. We weren't going to leave till tomorrow night late but now we got coach to book the flight up, all of us wanted to be home for a day before having a practice" He said

"What? Are you serious?" I said

"Yeah! It will be early when I get in, so I will sneak into bed with you," He mumbled but I could see the cocky grin on his face.

"Ah! Mr. Bolton!" I yelled with a laugh, Taylor turned and looked at me, I smiled and I winked at her.

"And you are proud of the comment" He said, I could see his eyewink.

"More or less" I said with a smile

"Yeah, yeah anyways I am going to sleep for a while and then pack and at mid night boarding the plane! Oh yeah" He said, I laughed again and I cradled the phone between my ear and my shoulder.

"You are such a corny dork," I mumbled

"Corny, yes. Dork, no"

I shook my head and then I heard somebody in the background yelling for Troy to get off the phone, "I would say you are corny and very much a dork," I said

He puffed and then he sighed, "Love you but Kobe and Chad are getting restless" he said

"Poor babies, I think one of them girlfriend is still waiting for a call."

"Yo! Chad, did you forget to call Taylor?" Troy yelled

"Her phone was busy!" I heard his response

"Oh, tell him she is working out wedding details and forget it and hey! Tomorrow we are all going wedding shopping, you, Zeke, me, and Chad," I said, I heard Troy groan

"Why?" Troy cried

"Don't cry, for tuxes now be nice!" I said, "Fine, I am still not happy," He mumbled

"You don't have to be," I said, I stuck my tongue out.

"Bolton!"

Troy groaned, "Love you"

"Love you too Bolton"

"Bye" He said then we both hung up, I sighed and I smiled. Taylor was now off the phone, "So?" She said

"They will be home late tonight!" I squealed, she laughed and then laid back.

"Awesome" She said

"Alright, what did Aylsa say?"

"Oh her and Avery are going to come down for a visit before the wedding, next week when they are home for five day. I called my Aunt Liv, who has a 5 year old kid, anyways she and Josh are coming with you tomorrow, since they don't live far." she said, I nodded and then she typed a text on her phone.

"Is Chad sleeping?" She asked biting her lip I slowly nodded my head. "Oh"

"Call anyways, he tried calling you but he said your phone had a busy signal but he is probably stupid enough to forget to put it on silent" I told her, she nodded and called him.

"Chad" She said, I smiled and then I started doing some work.

"Kyle!" I screeched, he laughed and then handed me a napkin.

"Here, wipe the chocolate off your nose, bitch," He mumbled, I laughed and hit his shoulder.

"Damn boy you better be nice! I am your guardian now!" I told him

"Hey! Be nice!"

"No, but seriously Kyle you have to understand that you aren't going to be out all night and what not. You are going to school and living a normal life," I told him

"Gabiii Come on, you are dating the most popular person on plant earth"

"And you aren't going to use that as an excuse, you are going to school, you curfew will be mid-night and no bring girls into the house at night, during the day with a door open is fine. Remember you will have a niece or nephew in a few months"

"Yeah and remember I have a girlfriend" He said looking at me.

"Sorry! Gosh, it's just a lecture!" I tell him

"What lector?" Jenni asked coming into the room.

"Just the rules" Kyle said swinging his legs over and patting his lap. Jenni smiled, went, and sat down.

"So what are we doing later?" he asked, Jenni frowned

"I am leaving remember? I start school in two days," She said, this time Kyle frowned.

"I thought I had more time with you?"

"No baby, I am leaving in like two hours," She said, I picked up my ice cream bowl and I placed it in the sink quietly.

"Jenni" He mumbled, his head resting on her shoulder.

"Kyle, I will be back in a month!" She said, trying to sound hopeful

"Jen, that is forever," he mumbled

"Gabi it isn't that long is it?" She asked looking at me, my eyes widened. I should have left sooner.

"I can't answer that question, Troy and I haven't been apart for a month," I mumbled

"What? You two haven't been apart for a month?" Kyle asked

"Nope, when he was going to Berkeley and I was here we would see him every weekend or every other weekend." I said, "I don't think we would have lasted" I mumbled quietly

Jenni and Kyle both sighed frustrated, "I love you Jenni," he mumble

"You sound like I am leaving now"

"No, no I just had to say it," He said

She nodded, "Then I love you too"

I shook my head and then I walked out to see Taylor standing next to the kitchen door, "Do Troy and I sound that bad?" I asked quietly.

She laughed and then looked at me, "Honey, when Troy would leave you after a weekend you were both in tears" She said, I lowered my eyes and starred at her.

"Fine be that way!" I said sticking my tongue out

"You are in such a playful mood today, you and Troy on the phone was even humorous," She said, I only shrugged.

"Yeah, maybe" I said, she laughed and I went back to the living room to work out more details for the wedding.

"I don't want you to leave" Kyle said into Jenni's ear

"I don't either," She said, they embraced each other in a loving hug. I had my back against a far wall.

"Mmm…I am going to miss you like crazy," Kyle said

"Me too, baby but remember I am available all time of the day, even during school," Jenni said

"Better not" Jack grunted

I shot him a look of annoyance.

"Come on, I had to deal with you and Troy all of the time, I don't need another and issue is, its another you!" He grumbled, I laughed.

"No, this one is a Matthews!" I told him with a wink, he only laughed and nodded his head.

"True that" He said

I rolled my eyes and I looked at the two hug, I felt this was like Troy and me, which it probably was.

"Alright, Jenni lets go" Jack said grabbing the last suitcase, I went over and gave him a quick hug.

"Bye Jack, see you in a little while!" I said with a smile

"A little while?" He said, I pointed towards them and he winked.

"Bye, Kyle" She murmured

"Bye, Jenni" He said, he they then started a full make-out session…in front of Jack.

"Hey! Hey!" Jack yelled, I tried not to laugh this was my dad.

"And the other thing Jack, this is your daughter not your son" He turned and glared at me, I only shrugged.

"Remember, I am holding you accountable for what six times you made me cried?"

"Hey! It was only five!" He said

"Only?" Sharpay said with a laugh

He glared and then left, those two still at it.

"Ok! Time to break it up!" I muttered, I tugged at Kyle's t-shirt and he pulled back and grunted. So Troy like.

"Come on before Jack kills somebody," I said, he gave her one quick hug and then started leading her towards the car.

"Hey! I want a hug!" I claimed she smiled and escaped Kyle's grip and then came over and gave me a hug, her 5'10 body towering over my 5'4.

"Girl, you need to stop growing," I muttered

"Yeah yeah"

I smiled and gave her one last hug, "Bye" I mumbled

"Bye!" She called from behide Kyle; I smiled and watched her leave.

"Good-bye Lucille" I said as we walked back, I gave her a quick hug.

"Gabi, seriously if you need any help in the next few weeks call me, I am only a plane ride away." She said with a wink.

"Alright, thanks" I said, one last hug and she left; I walked out onto the porch and waved good-bye.

"Bye!" I yelled

"Good-bye Gabi!" Jenni called out the window, I then looked to see Kyle climbing back over the steps, and I padded his back.

"Come on bud, we can be loners together" I said with a wink, he only gave me a half smile.

"Yours is coming back tomorrow"

"More like tonight but, but…" I said, "He leaves again in three days," I mumbled

"Do you like that he is always gone?"

"No, not when the baby is coming so soon" I said with a shake of the head.

"Yeah, Jenni and I are going to miss our senior year together" He said sadly

"Come sure," He said, I smiled.

"Come on, more ice cream? And a movie?" I said, he nodded and we went and grabbed ice cream and a few movies.

"Brie, Brie?" I groaned and I tossed onto my back and then back to my side.

"Hmm?" I asked

"Time to go up to bed" He said, I opened my eyes to see Troy, his bag still over his shoulder, I looked up to see it was a little past three.

"Hello?" I mumbled

"Yeah, hello" He said with a laugh

I sat up and he helped me, I looked to see my feet were on Kyle's lap, he was passed out himself.

"I come home to see my girlfriend lying on the couch with her brother; I imaged you in bed with"

"Just stop that sentence now Bolton," I muttered, he laughed and he helped me up the stairs.

"How was your flight?" I asked

"Good, boring, yet good" He said

I nodded my head and we approached the room, when we got in I went and lay on the bed, my eyes starting to shut.

"Hey, don't fall asleep yet! I haven't got a kiss!" He said stripping off his shirt.

I planted my hand on my lips and I kissed my hand and waved my hand around.

"There, there is your kiss" I said, my eyes shut.

"I wanted one more like this," He said, he then touched mine, "Mmm…that was a nice one," I mumbled

"See told you" He said, I opened one eye to see him wink.

"You're so cute," He mumbled

"You are too, I am going to bed," I said

"Night, love you"

"Night, I love you too"

"Gabi! This doesn't fit!" Chad whined I rolled my eyes; this was his fifth complaint today about this suit.

"Chad! It's going to be tailored!"

"Tailored?" He asked

I groaned, "Where they going to make it fit you!" I growled

Troy looked at me concerned, "You okay there Brie?" He mumbled into my hair, I turned to see him in his tuxedo.

"How is yours Troy?" I asked

"Good, as long as it gets tailored" He said turning to look at Chad who was trying to hold up his pants, I laughed and looked at Troy.

"But I need them a little up and maybe a belt?" He said with a laugh, I nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, that would be good" I said, I reached up and touched his nose.

"Gabi! These are too long!" Chad complained, I took a deep breath and plastered a smile on my face.

"Chad…somebody is going to take them and make them shorter to the length you want them…understand?" I asked slowly

"Oh! Yeah!"

I groaned and let my head fall back; Troy laughed and kissed the top of my head. I looked at Troy and his tuxedo it looked good. The yellow looked great on everybody, even little Josh who was fun to hang around.

"Zeke how are you doing?"

"I need longer ones Gabi!"

"Does the tailor fix that too Gabi?" Chad asked, I groaned and then looked at Troy.

"No Chad. He needs a longer length where you have the right size in waist but the length is too long, Zeke is different!" I growled at him.

"Don't have to-"

"Chad you dare finish that and she cries you are a dead bastard" Troy said taking a drink of water

"Jezz!" He said, I only rolled my eyes and went off to help Zeke.

"Here Zeke! Try these!" I said

"Ok, thanks" He said with a laugh, I smiled and I watched him walk back into the dressing room.

"Gabi…"

"Hmm?" I asked turning around to see Troy, his face enlighten with a smile.

"Nothing, I just wanna see your face"

I blushed, "You are so damn cheesy!" I told him, he laughed and then wrapped me into a hug.

"I know, I know but I thought it was cute," He said, his lips contacting the top of my head.

"Yeah, yeah but anyways wanna go get some lunch?" He asked

"Yeah, just after Zeke finishes" I told him, he nodded and then walked behide the curtain towards the dressing room to change into street clothes.

"Gabi-" Chad said, I turned and glared at him. "Chad, go change so we can get some food!" I told him, he jumped up and down and then ran and changed.

"Yay!" He cried and then kept running, oh Chad…

"Those were much better Gabi!" Zeke said coming back out in his street clothes, jeans, and a Laker t-shirt.

"Good, I am glad those worked better!" I said my hand rubbed over my stomach. He nodded and flipped out his cell phone.

"Hey will you all Shar and Taylor and tell them to meet us at like Parena Bread or something," I told him, he nodded.

"Are you sure you don't want something more…fatting?" Zeke asked I narrowed my eyes.

"Why?"

"Because that sounds really good," He admitted

I laughed; I then looked down, "How about that Parena Bread over by the McDonalds? The one that is connected?" I said he nodded his head.

"Oh yeah! The new one!" He said, I nodded my head, "Yeah that no, you boys can get greasy food while us girls can have our salads and soup." I told him, he nodded and then went to call Sharpay.

"Mm…so where is lunch Brie?" Troy said coming back out from behide the curtain. His black hoodie and red basketball shorts on. His black Nikes on.

"The gang is going to lunch at that Parena where it has McDonalds too," I said, a smile lightened on his face.

"Yay! I love that place! Makes you and me happy!"

"Gabi! They said I don't keep the suit," Chad yelled

"Oh. My." I grumbled, I turned and walked out the door.

"Ew!" We all screamed together, the guys all giving high-fives. The boys were all stuffing food down there throats. Troy and Chad both got whole cheeseburgers and five fries in there mouths, but Chads came back out.

"That is so gross!" Taylor exclaimed

"He is your fiancé" I mumbled, I watched Troy laugh and try to chew.

"Don't choke Troy!" I said to him, he finally swallowed his food and then burst out laughing. His white teeth shining, his tan faces grinning.

I smiled and rubbed my stomach, I still felt like I was in high school.

I grabbed my drink and took a small sip of water and I leaned back, I finally heard Troy's laugh subside.

"Brie, you okay?" He asked

I snapped up and I looked at him, "Yeah, I am fine" I said with a smile, "But doesn't it still feel like we are in high school?" I asked, I turned and looked at Kyle.

"Don't let this time go Kyle, ok?" I said he only smiled.

"It more feels like we are in senior year, more like the end. We were always saying good-bye to somebody and then somebody came back and it was hello all over again," Sharpay said with a shrug.

"Yeah and when we came back we were all such good friends again, like nothing happened. We always just picked up where we left off" Taylor added, I nodded with a smile.

"Yeah, I love you guys" I said with a smile

"We love you too"

"Yeah, especially me" Troy said raising his eyebrows, I giggled and grabbed his hand.

"And we are all going to love our first niece or nephew" Chad said

"I can't believe we are going to be the first parents," Troy said taking a deep breath

"Holy shit, I know right?" I said with a laugh

"We all voted and you guys were going to be the first," Zeke said with a laugh, sticking a fry in his mouth.

I gasped, "Oh come on!" I said

Taylor and the rest of the table laughed, "You two were always at it! On top of the-"

"Ahh! I got it!" I said loudly, getting stares from other, I laughed and looked down.

"It was all Troy faults, it was right after basketball practice," I mumbled

Troy laughed in shock, "What? Come on! You were talking all of these terms I did not understand it was so damn sexy! It turned me on!" He said laughing I only rolled my eyes.

"You weren't very smart back then, not really now either" I mumbled, he shook his head and kissed my temple.

"Loser" He mumbled into my ear

"Yeah, yeah"

"See lovebirds!" Chad said, I threw my napkin down on the table

"Fine! But Sharpay and Zeke are defiantly next!" I nominated

The whole table nodded but those, both mouths dropped, "Chad and Taylor were the only ones not to do it at school," Troy said waving one of his fries.

"Taylor thought it was too much PDA," Chad said rolling his eyes

"We all know that Chad wanted to, I think that is on his bucket list," Troy said with a laugh, Sharpay and Zeke laughing with pride.

"It is on my bucket list," He grumbled

We all busted out laughing with and bent over laughing, Taylor the only one not amused by the laughing.

"Guys! It's not that funny!" She exclaimed crossing her arms.

"Yeah, yeah it is!" We all said laughing she only turned away.

"Fine, fine it is a little funny but all I know is you guys are mean!" She said sticking out her tongue.

I took a deep breath, "That was good"

Once we all finished our little feast we went and threw away our trash, Troy's arm was slung over my shoulder, his drink in his hand and a baseball cap on his head backwards.

"That was a lot of fun," I said smiling

"It was, but tomorrow morning we are going to see that little boy, I am bring Kobe, Chad, and Luke and you of course." He said with a smile.

I smiled, "Thanks"

"Oh! And over our five day break we are going back to New Mexico, Chad and I are going to East to talk to the kids about Wildcat Dreams and"

"Troy…I don't think I wanna go," I mumbled, he turned and looked at me.

"What do you mean?" He asked

"Troy, I just did a long ass car trip…I don't know about another"

"Gabi, this one is no problem; we have done it many times"

I sighed, "Maybe ok, I want to go back really bad but"

He kissed my lips before I could finish, "No buts" he mumbled

"Fine but I don't know yet"

"That's just one more good-bye Gabi," He said kissing my hair

"But one more hello"

I loved writing the ending, it had to be my favorite part, with all the gang. I love them, haha.
