Gabriella walked into the room, and shutting the door behind her. Troy looked up, "Brie." she smiled sadly walking over to him and kissing him passionately. "Troy, I love you, I was so worried about you." he smiled, "I love you too Brie, and I'm sorry I worried you, but I'm fine..how's Soph, Log, & Emmy?" she smiled at the nicknames he gave to all three. "There fine, all three miss you like crazy, especially Sophie." he smiled, "Well I miss all of them, and you..wheres Josh?"
Gabriella froze, she didn't want to be reminded of him right now. Troy looked at her, "Brie..what's wrong?" she bit her lip, "Troy, you need to know something.." he looked at her sitting up, "yeah?" she looked at the ground, "When we were on the elavator..he..he kissed me..and I slapped him..I'm sorry Troy, but I didn't know what else to do, I...I freaked out, I just.. I didn't know why he did it.." she said holding onto his hand.
Troy looked at her, her other words not registering other than the words 'Josh, kissed, and me' Troy narrowed his eyes, "Where is he now?" Gabriella grabbed his hand, "I...I don't know, he ...I told him to leave me alone-Troy, I'm sorry, he just made me so mad!" Troy squeezed her hand, kissing her knuckles, "Its fine, I just want to know where he is...I'd like to talk to him..." Gabriella nodded, pulling out her phone and beginning to text him. Troy smirked, "you're mad at him aren't you?" She looked up through her lashes, "ticked." He chuckled, his hand snaking around her waist and pulling to him, "It's a turn on..." Gabriella giggled, hitting send and then turning her head so she can kiss Troy passionately.

Josh walked out of the hospital going to his car, and then his phone vibrated, and he got the text, and his eyes widened at what he read, 'I'm still mad at you, but Troy wants to talk...come here now.' Josh sighed, running his hand down his face, he was a deadman, he had to talk to Troy, he would be a coward if he didn't.. and he still wanted to be able to see his nieces and nephews.
TGTGTGTGTGTGTGTGTGTG
Gabriella looked at the text that read, 'Alright, I'm coming back up right now, and I'm sorry.' she sighed, "I'm gonna hide in the bathroom till he leaves, ok." Troy nodded, and she went into the bathroom, and held her body against the wall, and her ear against the door to hear their conversation.
Gabriella looked at the text that read, Alright, I'm coming back up right now, and I'm sorry. she sighed, "I'm gonna hide in the bathroom till he leaves, ok." Troy nodded, and she went into the bathroom, and held her body against the wall, and her ear against the door to hear their conversation.
Josh gripped the door handle, trying to keep a calm poker face, he opened the door. "uh...Tr-" Troy looked at him, gesturing to a chair, "have a seat...I want to talk to you." If he was angry, he didn't show it, ..so he either didn't know, or an incredibly good actor. Most likely the latter. Josh gulped, slowly walking to the chair and sitting down. he noticed Gabriella wasn't in the room, "Gabriella-" "So you know who we're talking about?" Josh nodded slowly, "I kind of...figured." Troy nodded, "and you kissed her." He said it so calmly, should Josh be worried? "How d-" Why'd he ask, if he Troy would've said, "Gabriella told me...tell me, how do you feel about her?"
Josh looked at him, "Wh-what?" Troy sighed, "it's polite to answer a question once you've been asked..." Josh still looked confused, ""Uh...Troy, I think that you hit your head...I kissed her, you aren't mad?" Troy smirked, leaning back, "Josh, bro, I'm furious...I just want to know how you feel about her, I plan to beat you in your sleep once I'm out of here." Oh how Troy loved his own sense of humour. And Josh's face, it was priceless! Like a scared chicken!
Josh gulped, and sighed, "I..Uh...I don't know.." Troy narrowed his eyes, "what do you mean you don't know? You can't just go and kiss someone that you have no feelings for!" Josh gulped once more, "I..I don't know how I feel about her, when she kissed me that one night, she made me feel weird, like I was liking her, not falling for her, just...just liking her.. and soon enough I was craving her touch and her lips, and I couldn't control myself anymore, I needed more.."
Troy looked at him, "You do understand that she is mine, and you can't have her, ever.." Josh stood up pushing his hands into her pockets, "I..I understand that, but uhh..I don't know, I'm sorry I kissed her though, I really..never wanted this to happen, I really wanted us to be brothers.." he had tears in his eyes, "I lost you once, and..and I don't want it to happen again, cause.." Troy just looked at him, tears began sliding down his cheeks, "I love you man... I missed you, when I was away, I just wanted my brother.. and...and..I don't know anymore..I gotta go."
room...in the basement." Gabriella looked at him, her eyes widening, "Troy but-" he pulled her in, kissing her hard and good and long, his fingers digging through her hair, she groaned into the kiss, too soon he pulled away. "He's my brother Brie...and he's living in a hotel...he'll live with us, help us out...the kids will have an uncle who will actually care about them."
Gabriella sighed, biting her bottom lip, "I Guess we can give it a shot.. since his your brother.." he smiled, "That's my girl." he kissed her lips once more, and just layed in each other's arms.

A Month had went by, and Josh was already settled in, and he was really close to his nieces and nephew, but especially close to his nieces, especially Emily. they got along very well, and were very close. Josh was tucking in Emily, "Goodnight Shorty." he said kissing her forhead, and going over to turn the lights off, "Uncle Josh...are you leaving me?" his mouth popped open, and spoke, "N-N..N-No, I was just.. I was just getting a book, and..reading in the dark.." he sat down on the bing bag next to her. she smiled, "Thank you." he looked at her, "hey, It's no problem, I've been meaning to catch up on my cat in the hat." she took her small hand, and caressed his cheek, "I love you.." she spoke.
Josh smiled, "So...uh...you want to read or maybe..." Emily put her thumb in her mouth, "Daddy reads to me, Mommy hums"- she pointed at him, a cute and undeniable smile on her face- "You sing." Josh looked at her, laughing, "Sing...you want me to sing?" Emily nodded, grabbing his hand with her tiny one and holding it close to her, "sing dippidy doo dah..." Josh chuckled, "ehh I don't know that one, you'll have to sing a few bars."
Troy had come by to check on Emily, seeing as Logan and Sophie were already asleep, when he saw Emily awake with Josh he smiled, leaning up against the door, Gabriella came up to him, about to open her mouth but Troy put a finger to his lips, telling her 'sshh'. Emily giggled, "I'll sing first...you sing the west." Josh nodded, "okay Shorty, then I'm gonna see Munchin." Emily giggled, "Zippidy Doo Dah Zippidy Ay My Oh My what a wonderful day..." Josh chuckled, "Oh right! Now I remember this song!" Emily giggled, Gabriella and Troy smiled, Josh picked up the stuffed Giraffe that had fallen on the floor as he started singing the kid song, "Plenty of sunshine heading your way, my oh my what a wonderful day..." Emily yawned, hugging the giraffe tight to her chest, "I love you uncle Joshie..." she mumbled as her voice trailed off into a light snore. Josh smiled, kissing her cheek, "Love you too Shorty."
Josh stood up, stuffing his hands in his pockets, he turned seeing Troy and Gabriella, "How long were you standing there?" Troy chuckled softly, whispering, "long enough..Joshie." Josh narrowed his eyes, "Hey...only Shortly calls me that..." Gabriella giggled, "Guys' its late...come on," she looked at Josh, "you have school tomorrow."
As Gabriella turned to go into her bedroom, Josh was stopped by Troy, "Hey..I'm glad you here." Josh looked at him, "yeah me too, umm thanks again for letting me stay here for awhile.." Troy nodded, "You can stay for as long as you want.." Josh nodded, "Uhh yeah, It won't be that long, just until I can get a place of my..umm own.." Troy looked at him biting his bottom lip, "Yeah, I wonder how Emily will react when she finds out that you won't be here forever." Josh shrugged, "I don't know..I don't think she'll notice.."
Troy shook his head, "Kids aren't stupid Josh...especially mine, believe me, they'll notice." Josh frowned, Troy patted his shoulder and followed Gabriella to his bedroom, Josh turned to look at the sleeping Emily, he sighed, she was smart for 2. Well, 3 next month. He smiled, maybe...he wouldn't move out right away. He'd stay for a reasonable amount of time...say...oh, for the next 20 years.
An Hour into sleep, Gabriella was startled by the thunder and lightening. Troy woke up and wrapped his arms around her, "Baby, don't be scared, I'm right here.." she sighed, "I know, I know.. it's still...I've been scared of storms since I was a little girl.." Troy smiled softly and kissed her temple. "There is no reason to be scared, I'm here, and I'm not gonna let anything happen to you." she sighed, and cuddled into his side, "Troy.." she breathed, "Are you gonna tell me what happened to you when you were 10?"
Troy sighed, "Br-" she looked at him, "Please...when I heard you and Josh..fighting last month-it sounded serious, what did your father do to you guys Troy?" he didn't want to relive an memory, he moved away from her, sitting on the edge of the bed. "Brie...I-I can't...I want to"- he pinched the bridge of his nose, turning and grabbing her hands in his. "Please understand that my so called father...he was a drunk, a pyschotic bastard...and..." he hated to cry. But these memories, they made him feel just like a child, Gabriella ran her thumb in circles over his knuckles, he continued, "everytime me and Josh saw or did something we weren't supposed to he'd send us to our room...and he'd give us a 'little lesson.'" Gabriella's eyes went wide, "Troy-" "That's what he called it...a little lesson."
Gabriella came out from under the cover, and sat beside him, sitting on her knees, rubbing his back. "I'm sorry...I...I didn't know.." Troy bit his bottom lip, "I'm sorry Brie-" she shook her head, "You have no reason to be sorry Troy...he raped you as a kid, and that's not right! I could never picture a Father doing that to his own kids!" Troy sniffled, "I will never hurt Sophie, Emily, or Logan like that...I would never do that Brie, I won't ever do it to you either.." Gabriella nodded kissing his lips, "And I know you won't...But I do have something to tell you." he looked at her, "what is it?"
she took a deep breath, taking his hand, "That day you were in the hospital, I came up to see you, and your dad was outside your room..." there was a long pause, she took another deep breath, "He had told me, that you were asleep, and that I should not bother you, so he offered me a ride home, at first I didn't want to, cause you had told me that you two weren't that close, especially him being in jail for that reason... then I told him no thanks, and he kept trying to get me too, and then I thought, well, If Troy trusted him enough to come into his room and see him, then I could ride with him, then I texted Josh to let him know I would be back later, but when I got to his car, he took a blade to my throat, and threatened to rape me and hurt me, then Josh came running towards us, and he dropped me and jumped into the car and drove off.."
Troy looked at her, "And after he drove off is when Josh...in the elevator..." Gabriella nodded, scooting closer to him. "Troy...it's important for the kids to have a grandparent in their life but...I don't want your father anywhere near them." He gathered her in his arms, holding her to his chest, "Me neither..." he kissed her temple, "I think we should get to sleep now..." he whispered in her ear, she nodded; wrapping her arms around his neck, "Cuddle with me?" Troy smiled, "yeah...I love that idea."

Gabriella was at home, cooking dinner. Crab Alfredo, her favorite. The kids were sitting down watching Drake and Josh. Troy and Josh were at a laker game spending some Brotherly time. She was just about to add the Crab into the shells, and mix it, till there was a knock on the door. "Just a mintue." she said and turned off the oven and opened the door to find her Father. "D-Dad..." he smirked coming closer to her, "Hey babygirl..how's my princess doing." he came towards her, "w-what..are you doing here?" she gulped as he came closer to her, and was back against the wall.
"I came to visit my beautiful daughter, that I never got to finish.." she gulped, "Please..Please go..Please.." he smirked, "No, your coming back home with me.." he pulled her close to him by the waist. she looked away, tears streaming down her face, "Please..please don't..please not no more." Memories began coming back to her.
(Flash Back)
Michael Montez threw 9 year old Gabriella Montez onto the mattress slapping her across the face, and slipping his belt off. Gabriella's eyes widened, "Daddy..please no..please I love you.." he began striking her small body with the belt leaving red marks, and blood coming from the splits. she bit her bottom lip to stop the tears from forming, all she did was eat candy, and he beat her for it.
(End Of Flash Back)
He began ripping her clothes off, her eyes went wide, "Stop..please..." she whimpered, "Troy.." he smirked, "Jimmy told me about your little boyfriend..I would love to meet him.."
Gabriella swallowed, sliding along the wall, away from him. "Just leave ...please, I'm begging you..." Michael smirked wickedly, grabbing her wrist hard and pulling her toward him. He growled in her face, "You weren't supposed to leave bitch...you were told to stay home!" He threw her against the wall hard; her head hit the mirror, it shattered, and her kids voices cried out to her, "Mommy! Are you okay?" her voice was warbling as she spoke, "I'm-I'm fine honey...Sophie keep your brother and sister in there...you stay there." Michael grinned, grabbing Gabriella by a handful of hair, "You need to stop lying...you know what happens when one lies." He shoved her into the downstairs bathroom, undoing his belt and then with incredible force, the tough leather beat her skin.
Like she was a child. "Please stop!" She cried, crying loudly everytime the belt pelted her back, she could feel the warm sticky blood running down her skin. "Stop! PLEASE! I'm SORRY!"
He smirked hitting her one last time until she was in the corner sobbing. she buried her face into her arms, and her back was throbbing and bleeding. she didn't want to move, she couldn't move. she was glad that she had taught sophie when someone was hurting her, or trying to break in, the hide in the closet where no one can find her or Logan and Emily. Her Father smirked putting his belt back on and leaving the house. Gabriella peeked open to find him gone, she just buried her face into her arms further, she hated him, she hated her father. she needed Troy, Troy was the only person to make her feel better right now. she needed him so much.
Troy and Josh pulled up into the drive-way, talking about how great the game was. "So, wanna play a little one on one at the park?" Josh asked Troy. Troy nodded, "Absolutely, just let me go in and tell Gabriella I'll be late for dinner." he rushed inside to find Gabriella not cooking, but food was still on the stove. his heart beat faster, the kids were gone too. "Brie!" he shouted running through the house, not finding any sight of Gabriella or the kids. he ran his hand through his hair, and down his face. he ran into the bedroom, and he found Gabriella in the corner crying her eyes out. "Brie.." he rushed over to her, when he touched her shoulder, she flinched, "Please don't hurt me..please.." she sobbed not looking up at him.
"Brie...it's me, Troy..." she sniffled looking up, her eyes were swollen. "Troy," she reached her arms slowly-the movement hurting her shoulders. "I..I don't want to be alone," Troy wrapped his arms around her; squeezing her gently, but when she flinched and screamed slightly, "What happened?" Gabriella shook her head, "Troy...it's amazing how much you can hate a person." by now, Josh had walked in, he stood at the door, Troy looked at him; nodding as if granting him permission to enter. "Brie, tell me what happened?" she shook her head again, "I hate him Troy...I hate him." "Who?" Josh asked, "Gabriella who are you talking about?" Gabriella only mumbled the same thing, "I hate him...I hate him...I hate him..."
She sniffled, "My...My..My Father..I hate him.." Troy sighed, looking at Josh, giving him the look that said, "privacy." Josh nodded shutting the door, Troy looked at her, "Brie..what are you talking about? what happened?" she sniffled as she looked up at him, "Take me to the bed." he was about to put his arms around her back but she stopped him, "Gently please.." he nodded kissing her forhead, "Of Course Baby..whatever you want." he carried her gently to the bed, she hissed as her back hit the back of mattress. "Are you ok?" she shook her head, "I hate him Troy..I hate him so much.." Troy looked at her, biting his bottom lip, "Can I see.." she nodded, he lifted up her shirt to see blood and cuts and bruises all over her back. "Brie! What the hell did he do to you!"
She sniffled again, "what he always does, hits me, beats me, he came her, and beat me with a belt..I told Sophie to take her and the twins into the closet so he wouldn't find them...I..I hate him so much Troy...I hate him.." she buried her face into his chest.
"He shouldn't be allowed to do that Brie, you're a grown woman!" Gabriella sniffled; she was laying on her stomach, her back hurt like a freaking bitch. Troy grabbed her hand, "I'll stay with you tonight-" "No,..Troy, Josh is here...and, he's your brother-" Troy sighed, "you're important to me too.." "Troy, you haven't seen him in years..." it was a losing battle, "Fine, I'd rather be with you...but, I'll be with Josh tonight-worrying about you..." Gabriella smiled, "I love you oh and Troy." "Yeah?" "Get the kids from the closet..."

Troy and Josh went played some basketball for about 3 hours. and then went and had some dinner, then when they arrived back home, Troy and Josh walked through the door and found Gabriella and Girl younger about Josh's age talking. she was a brunette beauty like Gabriella, so must be related, Gabriella looked up, "Oh hey guys, this is my cousin Kaitlynn, and I hope it's ok Troy, but she's staying with us for a few weeks." she smiled, "It's just temporarly until I can find a place around here.." Gabriella stood up with her, "She's going to college around here, she just moved here from Lousiana, so she's starting her freshman year of college here...and Kaitlynn this is my fiance Troy Bolton.." she smiled shaking his hand, "Hi Troy, umm Gabriella has told me too much about you." she laughed.
Troy smiled, "It's nice to meet you Kaitlynn...uhm, the drooling guy is my brother Josh." Kaitlynn giggled, holding out her hand, Josh grabbed it hesitantly, "uhm uh...I'm..I-I..hash moshemore..ay" Kaitlynn giggled, "I'm sorry but I don't speak vietnamese." Troy chuckled, Gabriella giggled, "Kaitlynn was going to help me with dinner..."
Josh looked at her, "Umm how about if me and Kaitlynn fix dinner, and you and Troy can go on a date.. you all haven't had one in a long time.." Gabriella looked at Troy, "Well we haven't had one since the twins were born.." Troy nodded, "Sounds great, and that way Josh and Kaitlynn can get to know each other." Gabriella giggled, "Yeah, since their gonna be roomates." Josh eyes widened. "what! really.." he cleared his throat, "I..I mean.. awesome." he smiled nervously. Kaitlynn laughed, "Umm let's get dinner started, and you two enjoy each other."

When Troy and Gabriella were at the Disney Land for a little while, they were inline for a ride. "So do you think Josh likes Kaitlynn?" Troy chuckled, "It's pretty obvious Brie.." he held her hand, "Did you see the way he looked at her" she smiled, "Yeah, I know.. you look at me the same way every day.." Troy smiled kissing her lips gently, "I love you." he said wrapping his arms around her waist. she looked up at him, "I Know..I love you too.." she smiled laying her head against his chest.

"So, Troy's brother huh?" Josh cleared his throat, "yeah..uh...younger brother..." if awkward could be replaced, Josh would replace with something better. The silence was that bad, "so...Louisana?" Kaitlynn nodded, "yeah, New Orleans." Josh smirked, "so you celebrate Mardi Gras..." she shrugged, rinsing the green beans off and cutting them before putting them in the caserole dish. "Not really, I'm more of a suffer-in-silence-bookworm than a -fratboy's party girl." Josh chuckled, a genuine laugh. "I'm a book worm you could say..."
Kaitlynn giggled leaning against the counter, "So, you go to college?" she asked. he nodded, "Yeah, Freshman too.. you starting here at U of A?" she nodded, "Yeah, I'm studying to be a Doctor." Josh eyes went wide, "wow, a doctor?" Kaitlynn nodded, "Yep, I love helping people, especially little kids.." he smiled, "You like little kids?" she nodded, "Love them, sometimes there the only people you can talk to about anything." Josh nodded, "I know what you mean, my niece Emily... well she's great to have around, I love her to pieces like she was my own.." Kaitlynn smiled, "Your a sweet guy Josh, all the guys I've been around, have always wanted to get me in bed, but you, your so different.. your sweet.."
"Well..." Josh blushed, turning around, when he turned back Kaitlynn seemed closer, he gulped. "Red looks good on you..." he swallowed again, opening his mouth to speak, but a tiny voice interrupted him; tiny but loud and squealing, "UNCLE JOSHIE!" Emily came running at him, he smiled, "hey Shorty.." he scooped her in his arms, "have you met your Aunt Kaitlynn?"
Emily looked at the second brunette beauty, she waved, "knock knock," Emily said, Kaitlynn laughed, "whose there?" "Transexual." Josh widened his eyes, "ah...you shouldn't be saying things like that...ah, where'd you learn that?" Emily giggled, pointing, "You say it in your sleep Uncle Joshie!" Kaitlynn giggled, Josh felt the heat rise in his cheeks, he turned to Kaitlynn, "uh...I'm ju-just gonna uh...go." he took Emily to her room, where Sophie was dressing Logan in toilet paper. Josh widened his eyes, "Sophie...Logan...what the hell's going on?" Sophie turned, "you said a bad word..." the three kids giggled.

Troy and Gabriella are at the store, and getting some last minute things before heading home. Gabriella opened the freezer getting some oreo ice cream. "Troy..do we need this?" he looked at it nodding, "yeah.." he wrapped his arm around her waist, "We need it after we have sex tonight." she laughed, slapping his chest playfully, "Bolton, No sex tonight." he frowned, "aww why not?" she rolled her eyes, "Cause, My cousin, and your brother is staying with us." he smirked, "They don't have to listen.." she rolled her eyes and continued shopping with Troy behind her.
There was a guy coming towards them that Troy recognized, It was a guy who was bascially jealous of him. Patrick Burchett. He wanted everything Troy ever wanted, including every girl. he looked at Troy and smiled, "Hey Troy.." He smirked, looking at Gabriella, "Wow.." he checked out Gabriella from up and down. she felt disgusted when guys did that, it was so immature, and disgusting, and she didn't like it at all. "Mean, I would love to see how your insides feel like.." he said smirking.
Troy put himself between them, "back off Patrick." his tone was calm, the threat was smirked, crossing his arms over his chest, "why Bolton? Possessive? What...she more than a piece of grab ass?" Troy chewed his inner cheek, ignore him. Ignore him. Patrick kept talking, "you don't like sharing?" Screw ignoring him. Troy pounced, pushing him to the floor, punching his face with blow after blow.
Gabriella gasped trying to pull Troy away, "Troy..Troy stop, don't get in trouble.."she yelled pulling him off of Patrick. when she finally got Troy off Patrick, Patrick tried to hit Troy again, and Gabriella pushed him, "Go! leave us alone!" Patrick glared at her, and walked over angrily. Gabriella turned to Troy whose nostrals were flaring, "who was that?" she asked. Troy looked at her, "A Troy Bolton Wanna Be, he wants everything I have, his jealous of me, ever since we were in 8th grade, his been trying to be like me, and steal everything I have." Gabriella smiled wrapping her arms around his neck, and kissing his lips, "Well, he won't have me, Cause you Mister Bolton are the love of my life."
Troy wrapped his arms around her, "And you Beautiful, are all mine.." she giggled pecking his lips, "wanna go to the check out line now, and head back home?" Troy nodded and they pushed the buggy towards the check out line, and then drove back home.
