Chapter 24- Wedding

"What not to do at your wedding," I said giggling; the cold green goop on my face was starting to slowly fall off my face. I ate a cracker as Sharpay laughed.

"Do not eat anything colored before your wedding; you will ruin your magical smile." Taylor said laughing, "Remind me, no frosting tomorrow morning." I glanced up at the clock to see Troy was about to leave, "Alright, I have had mine on for an hour. I am taking it off." I said standing up in my PJ pants.

"Mm, I am coming with you." Sharpay said, "I am keeping mine on! It feels good against my skin." Taylor said, Kelsi agreed as I rinsed my face.

"Well high fine ladies, what's up?" I heard Troy's voice drift through the kitchen. I grinned as I cleared the last of the guacamole cream off my face. I quickly wiped it off before I walked out and Troy looked flying, my jaw separated from my mouth. Troy had on a pair of black slacks with a navy button up shirt, his sleeves rolled up to his elbows.

I slipped my arms around his waist, "Have fun," I whispered to him, he turned around in my arms and picked me up gently. I kissed his lips and he touched my soft face. "Wow, your face is really soft." I giggled and I let my hands roam through his hair.

"Liam is lying in his crib, I'm pretty sure he is awake right now."

"I will probably bring him downstairs. Do you have an estimated time of being home?" I whispered against his ear, "I don't know, it depends how the guys go. It tough to get home but since Chad is getting married tomorrow, I am pretty sure that it wont be later than two."

"Just try to be quiet,"

He shifted feet, "I thought about crashing at Chad's place with him since he will be alone." He said rubbing the side of my face, "Okay, sounds good to me." I told him as I kissed him once more.

"Text me when you get in." I said, he nodded and then kissed my forehead. "If Liam gets to be too much just call me." He said as he let go of me. I nodded, "I will, I promise." Troy grinned as he grabbed his Laker's lanyard. "Girls," he said turning to the group, "Have fun." He winked and then disappeared behide-closed doors.

"Should I go get our only man for the night?" I asked the girls all looked at each other before getting up and storming to the stairs. I Laughed as I chased them up into Liam's room, "Somebody pick out some footie PJ's! It's a PJ party!" I said as I went over to his crib, Sharpay peered in over my shoulder.

"He is so cute! I can not wait to have my own little baby!" I said I let a smile take over my face as I bent over to pick him up. "Gabi, these are so soft!" Taylor said bring out a soft yellow PJ footie.

"Alright, he is going to squirm so if you want me to do this. Troy said he changed his diaper before he left."

"As long as I don't have to change a diaper, and then hand him over!" Taylor said waving her arms, "He is going to think of you as an alien." I told them, "Ha-ha very funny." Taylor said as she slipped off his onsie. He was quickly changed into the yellow ones and put into my arms.

"You are the man of the house tonight!" I said kissing his head, he grinned like a schoolboy as he looked around. We all laughed as we took him back down the stairs.

We all curled back up on the floor, I put Liam in my lap as I pulled the magazine up to my face. "Don't try to steal the groom," I read to them, "Does anybody plan on stealing Chad?"

Sharpay raised her hand and Taylor shot her a look, the girls laughed aloud as I held Liam a smile perching on my face. "Don't try to steal your best friends wedding or hire a depressed wedding singer."

"Wow, that's crazy. Gabi you don't plan on stealing my wedding do you?" I shook my head, "Nah, there is no way I could. I don't want a Church wedding not that I disagree to them but I don't see Troy and I doing that."

"I didn't know if I wanted one at first but Chad insisted."

"I am hiring a wedding planner. I know you and Chad did fine just without one but I really want to have one. It will be so much simpler." I said, "I don't have to worry about a lot of the stuff you did. They order everything and if something happens, I can yell at them."

Kelsi laughed, "Okay, so I have to ask you guys something and Sharpay you really need to listen since it's your brother."

"Alright…" Sharpay said as she snapped a carrot in half with her teeth. "Ryan has been saying a lot about starting a family, buying a real house as soon as we both graduate college. He wants to get a teaching job at a school so does that mean he is getting ready to propose?"

I tried not to hide the smile on my face, "Yea, probably." Kelsi blushed and I glanced down at my son, "But Troy never gave me one hint. I was the dumb one to miss what he was doing that day."

"Well, he did keep it from everybody else." He said I rolled my eyes softly before I repositioned Liam in my lap. He clapped his hands and I tickled his little stomach.

"He is adorable Gabi," Kelsi said leaning forward to grip his hand; I sighed as I touched his stomach. I handed Liam off to Kelsi who played with him.

"Alright, who wants to do my toes?" Taylor asked holding a purple nail color, "I will," Sharpay offered, taking it from her. "I just got a manicure last week." I said glancing down at my French tip. "I want to do your nails then," Kelsi, offered, "Give me squirt." I said reaching over; Kelsi grabbed the other nail polish.

"Alright, I think we deserve to turn a movie on." I explained to them as I laid Liam down in the playpen. "Turn on The Back-Up Plan. I swear that is the funniest movie."

"No, the Hangover is one of the funniest movies."

"I don't think we should watch what might happen to the boys," Sharpay smirked, I laughed and Liam let out a thin wispy cry. I glanced over at him and he was trying to roll over but it was not working. I felt in Awh as he kicked his legs but he was just not strong enough yet.

"What is he trying to do?" Sharpay asked as her hand fluttered to her stomach, "I think he is trying to roll over," I told them as I turned on the DVD. The Back-up Plan came on the screen, "Guys, have you ever seen Hawaii 5-0?"

"The one that's like fifty years old," Kelsi explained as she grabbed a blanket from behide her. "No, there is a new one."

"A new one?"

"Yea, it stares Alex O'laughlin, Grace Park and Scott Cann." Taylor's eyes popped, "Scott Cann wasn't his dad in Los Vegas."

"I'm pretty sure."

Taylor looked down at her nails and rested her head on her knee. Kelsi began to do my nails and I knew the final hours were coming.

I stretched and yawned as I rested my eyes once more. I flipped my head over to see the light streaming into the room and a blazing headache comes over my head. I think we had one too many glasses of wine last night." I rolled over and my eye caught a glimpse of the time.

8:45

Looking around I felt the stiffness in my back as sleeping on the floor was not the best option but Taylor had taken a couch and Liam kept waking up so I stuck with the floor.

A yawn slipped through my throat as I blacked my eyes, we all had to be at the hotel at 10:00. So we had to be leaving here in an hour. All of our gowns and shoes will all be at the hotel waiting; her mom and dad were meeting her there also. Reaching for my phone as I saw it was blinking red.

I slide my bar over for two messages from Troy to pop up.

2:20AM

Just got back to Chad's place. Love ya, xo Troy

6:43AM

Our flight was delayed. We did not want to tell Taylor but we will not be in until a lil later. Anna xox

I felt my stomach sink lightly as I knew that would not be good. I quickly typed back asking when they would be here. I yawned again as I sat up and glanced over at the playpen. Liam was fast asleep as I sat up. There was a light knock on the door and my heart began to speed up. Who the hell was supposed to be here.

I pushed the blankets off me and I went over to the door. I tried to peek through but I saw on thing, Chad's mom. I quietly opened the door and walked outside shutting the door behide him.

"Hey," I said greeting both of them in hugs, "Hi!" His mom, Mikayla, cheered, as she looked perky. "We had no idea where Taylor's and Chad's house is."

"Probably not the best place to go either,"

"Why is that?" Richard, Chad's dad, asked. "Probably about five boys with a bunch of hangovers, I'm a little hung-over." I told them as I tried my best to suspense yet another yawn trying to escape my throat.

"Oh really, too much wine last night." I nodded as the June breeze ruffled through my hair. "Well Sharpay, Taylor, and Kelsi are all still asleep. I am glad I was awake when you came. The only thing to wake me up these days is Liam."

"Oh! I haven't got to meet him yet! We have heard so much about him when we saw Troy on the road or at home. Pictures all of the time," I looked shocked they have yet to meet him. This was Troy's other family.

"Then come on in, I better wake the girls up anyways just so they can get up and start shaking some of the grogginess off." I said as I opened the door to the house. They all stepped in as I clicked on a few pairs of lights. "Wakey, Wakey!" I said as I gently kicked Kelsi on the floor.

"Do you think I can head over to Chad's to be with the boys? Can you get a ride with the girls?" he asked Mikayla, "Yea, I got it." She said waving goodbye, "Wait! Richard, come see Liam really fast." I replied as nobody had stirred in the living room.

I reached over into the playpen to pick the small boy up. He winced and grimaced before relaxing into my arms. I guided them into the kitchen where I handed him over to Richard.

"Wow, he looks a lot like Troy." He said trying to get used to the added weight, "I remember when Troy was little," Mikayla said with a little smile, "Wait, you knew Troy when he was Liam's age?"

"Sort of, I knew Jack from the high school and I had met him a few times. We had never known how close both of our boys would be."

I crossed my arms as I looked over at the coffee pot but decided Starbucks would be a better run for the day. "Well you take little guy here while I run over to Chad's Gabi do you have directions, an address?" He asked me as he passed over Liam into Mikayla's arms that looked glad to take him.

Searching through my contacts, I found the address and sent it to his phone. "I just texted it to you."

"Thanks! I will see you at the wedding,"

"I will be the girl in purple." I said winking before he exited the room, I leaned back against the counter and smiled as Liam's face grimaced again. "Looks like somebody is starting to stir."

"I was expecting that. He woke up around five wanting to eat. It is probably almost time again. Now he will be up the rest of the day."

"How close are you to five months?"

"About three weeks,"

"Chad told me that Troy proposed." I grinned as I looked down at my toes, "Yea, he did." I said handing over my hand so she could see, "Wow, that is a stunning ring."

"Thank you, he picked it out all by himself. I was proud of him, too cute."

Mikayla smiled at me as I noticed a scary figure in the doorway. "Sharpay, you might want to head upstairs to take a quick shower because you look scary."

She stuck her tongue out as she approached the kitchen counter, "I really need some damn coffee." She said rubbing her eyes, her head dropped down to her lap.

"Why can't you have coffee?" Mikayla asked her, "I'm three and half months pregnant." She mumbled pressing her head into her arms. Mikayla looked shocked, "With Zeke?"

Sharpay did not respond and I just nodded, "Long story," I whispered quietly, she just looked at me and then she nodded. "Got it. Anyways, I hope you are doing well."

"The morning sickness is sorta gone."

"I better wake up Taylor," I said glancing at the clock, "We have to be leaving here in twenty five minutes."

"Where are you guys going?" I rubbed my arms as I watched Liam stir in her arms, "We are going down to a Spa Hotel, she is going to get a relaxing massage and a French tip. A long shower before somebody is coming to do her hair and makeup." I said, "Then we are leaving for the church at 3:45."

"Well if you don't mind me tagging along." Mikayla said, "Chad isn't going to want me around, I guess they are supposed to be going to play basketball at some park."

"One last basketball game before he is married," Sharpay picked her head up, "I think I am going to take a shower," I stopped her, "You are taking a shower at the hotel," I told her, "Hairstylist wanted to do you hair there, wet."

She rolled her eyes before stopping, "Then I am going to grab a pair of sweats to put on." She said getting off the barstool.

"You got him? I am just going to wake up the other two." She nodded, "Yea, he seems to be perfectly happy." I smiled as I approached the living room. I tiptoed over Kelsi before bending down to carefully shake her.

"Kelsi," I said, a groan escaped her mouth and her eyes squeezed shut. I laughed, "Come on, we have to leave for the hotel in 15 minutes." I said as I stood to go over to Taylor.

Gently shaking her side, she stirred and grimaced. "God, my head hurts." She whispered, "Hey, you need to get up. We have to be at the hotel in fifteen minutes."

Taylor popped up from the couch and her eyes looked freaked. "Oh my, I am getting married today!" she started to breath a little heavier and I patted her back. "I really don't want to add to your stress but your mom and dad are going to be just a little late."

She nodded her head and then got up, "Go change, we need to be leaving for the hotel in a few minutes. Mikayla, Chad's mom is here so we do have a mom." She cracked a small smile before shoving off her blanket.

"Aspirin is sitting on the counter." I pointed Kelsi and Taylor out; they both held there heads before walking off into the kitchen. I heard Liam's wimpy cry come from his mouth. He was either be messed with or just beginning to wake up. I stirred back into the kitchen and Sharpay now had Liam.

"Poor guy, so many people are going to have hands on him today."

"You think he would be used to it by now after your whole vacation."

I shrugged, "He is a totally parent boy. Someday he just really wants me and someday he really wants Troy. If other people hold him to long he gets fussy and when we hold him he just is calm."

"You're his parents. He loves you," I smiled softly as I played with his tiny feet. I kissed them softly before I decided to slip on my boots. "Kelsi can you run upstairs and grab the backpack sitting in the nursery? It has all of Liam's toys and clothes for today."

"Yea, I need to run up to grab some toothpaste. I forgot mine." Kelsi remarked as she headed towards the stairs, "Cool." I said as I suddenly had Liam back in my arms. "God, it does work! He was just whimpering and then I gave him to you. He just like snuggles in right towards you." I kissed Liam's forehead, "Because he is a good boy."

I reached for Liam's car seat sitting at the edge of the island in the kitchen. I placed it up on top as I slide him into it. I buckled it together as I clicked them together. I reached over for the football and basketball striped blanket over him. His eyes looked up at me while I tickled his stomach.

Grabbing my phone, I took a picture of him. Pressing a few buttons, quickly sending it to Troy, I swung the car seat over my arm and shuffled towards the door.

"Got the backpack!" Kelsi said crashing down the garage stairs. I laughed as she stubbed her toe on side door, "Next time you get house, please make sure you don't get one with stairs leading to the garage." I laughed again as I clicked Liam's car seat into place.

Taylor swooped into the passenger seat as I opened the garage door. My phone buzzed in my pocket, pulling it out as I started the car.

Awh, my baby boy. I miss him! …And you. Love ya.

Grinning I glanced back in the review mirror, Kelsi and Sharpay were both surrounding Liam playing with him. Sure, he misses you too. Sharpay is playing with him. ;) Love you!

I dropped my phone into the cup holder while I put my car into reverse. I slowly backed out of the drive way and onto the street. "Okay, you have kept it from me long enough. Where the hell are you taking us?" I licked my lips as a smirk grew over my face, "Well, lets just say, I'm never in my life going to tell you the price."

Taylor raised her eyes towards me, Sharpay laughed aloud and Kelsi just shook her head. "Where are you taking us?" Sharpay demanded, "It's probably on all of your bucket lists." I replied

"Oh my god." Sharpay whispered putting her fingers against her lips, "We are going to the Four Seasons." I smirked while the rest of them squealed like schoolgirls.

"Why didn't we stay there last night?" Taylor asked me, "Because, I am not going to be able to afford two days." I said winking at them, "I won't get to stay there!" she pouted, "Too bad," I whispered to her.

"Does Troy know?" I shook my head, "He won't know about this until later when the limo brings us back," the girls all laughed while I drove through the city. "Sharpay, Kelsi, I did get you two rooms for the night. Now they aren't as big as the one we are going to be getting ready in but it's at the Four Seasons."

"I would sleep in a fucking box." Sharpay mumbled as she looked amazed, "I have wanted to stay here more than anything, even go on Broadway."

I felt stunned hearing those words leave her mouth. "Wow, that's pretty amazing."

Pulling into the hotel parking lot a valet stopped us, I rolled down my window and I glanced at her. A young female who was eager to earn money, "Taylor, reach into the glove department and get the valet key out." She nodded her head as she dug through.

"Thanks!" I mumbled as she slipped me the key, "Erin," I said reading her nametag, "Here you go."

"Can I have your name?"

"Gabi Montez," I told her as I slipped my id to her. She copied it and then handed it back. We all were getting out of the car; Mikayla grabbed Liam's car seat, as she was the only one who knew how to take it out.

Kelsi had grabbed the backpack and I felt empty. I glanced over the car once more before my eyes caught onto my phone. Grabbing it, I waved goodbye and slung my purse over my shoulder.

"I feel so underdressed." Kelsi whispered as she glanced down at her sweats and tshirt. Looking over the hotel, I saw everybody looking fancy as they were in line for brunch on a Wednesday. Licking my lip, I walked up to the counter slipping my id and credit card out.

"Gabriella Montez," I told the front counter, they typed my name in and I knew she was shocked. "Uhm three rooms for the night."

"Yes," I said nodding my head; she just nodded before swiping my card and then handing me three room keys. "Thank you," I said slipping everything back into my wallet. I put the keys into my purse but the one on top.

"Everything is set, so let's go." I told the girls, I grabbed Liam from Mikayla as we headed to the elevator. "What floor?"

"15," I replied as we all stepped on, Liam began to cry and I knew it was about time for a feeding. "Oh dear, I so hope they have a fridge."

"You just paid God knows how much money, I am pretty sure you have a fridge." I giggled, "Probably. If I don't, I just won't premake his bottles."

"Ah, I remember those days." The elevator stopped and we all got off onto the floor. We traveled down a few hallways before coming to the room. I slipped the cardkey in and the room popped open.

"Holy shit," Sharpay muttered, "I am pretty sure I just pissed my pants." I laughed aloud as I dropped the key onto the table. Liam began to fuss louder and I unbuckled him before reaching into the backpack. "So you didn't bring any clothes?"

"I brought Troy a pair of shorts and a tshirt to wear tomorrow. I am just going to wear this."

"Chad has all of our things," everybody stood around the room as if they touched it, it would break. I was the first one to plop down onto the bed as it let me sink in.

"Damn, this bed is comfy. Troy may have to some how steal this bed." I stated Liam even stopped crying as I let him loose on the bed.

"Well, lets get this party started." Sharpay said as she tossed her bags onto the bed. I laughed softly as I kicked off my shoes and began to relax.

"That massage was amazing," Taylor said as the hairstylist began to work on her hair. Jenna was her name and she was working wonders. She had already done my hair and the rest of the girls.

"It was pretty damn amazing, thank you Gabi,"

"Hey, as the maid of honor, it was my job." Taylor shot me a look and I shrugged my shoulders. We were an hour from leaving for the church. It was church time now, we had all ate a small lunch, a salad with a slice of bread, and got massages. We all got French tips on our nails and were set to go.

A fresh knock came onto the door. Taylor's eyes looked hopeful as I stood and walked to the door. It swung open with ease to have an excited looking Anna on the other side.

"Mom!" Taylor cried looking at her but she did not dare move. Sharpay and I's hair was down in simple waves but with a little French braid to the side of my head. Anna was quick to her daughter dropping her bags along the way, "Where is daddy?"

"He went to find the guys," Anna was already trying to fight back tears. I grinned as I slipped back down onto the bed. "Well hello," I sat forward to see Lucille walking in.

"I have a little something here for a Miss. Taylor." She said grinning, "Hey Luc,"

"Where is my little grandson?" she asked looking around for him, we were all sitting in the living room of our huge hotel room. "He is sleeping back in the room off the right wing." She looked at me and I laughed, "No, he is just in that room right there."

"Oh goodness, I thought you were brought serious." I giggled and touched my necklace as Taylor opened the simple envelope.

She took a deep breath as she smiled sweetly, "Taylor, my sweet so smart Taylor," she started to read, "I sit here in our house as the boys are all playing video games and I am excited to say at this time tomorrow you will be my wife. I love you, and I can not wait to see you in that fine wedding dress that probably costs me lots." She stopped to dab at her eyes.

"I can not wait to hold you in my arms and finally call you my wife, to not have to think about my future without you because I know you will always be here with me, by my side. We may have rough times ahead in our future but havent we already beaten a lot. I think we have and I am excited. See you soon, soon to be Mrs. Danforth. I love you. Chad."

Tears rushed down her cheeks as she tried to stop them. Anna reached for the tissues, "Who knew my son was able to write so well," Mikayla said fanning her face, the group giggled, "That's awesome," Kelsi said as she let her fingers touch the bottom of her hair. She had hers in a curl, as it was shorter than ours was.

"That was the sweetest thing I think he has ever written." I pursed my lips together, "Alright Taylor, we have something for you," I said rolling over to my stomach. I grabbed the box and I sat back up.

Placing my feet onto the floor, I walked over to her and I let her have the first one. She wiped her eyes once more before peeling back a piece of paper. Once she got down to the bottom she looked like her eyes softened at the sight.

"This is my old charm bracelet." She said picking it up, it spelled Tay along the rings while it had a nerd glasses with a few book charms. Her birthstone and a small picture of a heart. "Somebody please help me put this on!" she said waving her hand, Jenna was still working on her hair trying to put it in a cute up do thing.

"Wait!" I explained, "You have to open the next one!" I told her, she looked at me as she grabbed it from my hand. She tore the paper apart and then threw the box lid off.

"Something blue." She murmured, as she twirled the blue diamond in her hand. "Chad helped us pick this out and pay for it." I said as she looked at it closely. "A real diamond?" I nodded, "Not that big, but it was blue."

"Something new?" I shook my head, "That's something different. We bought that a long time ago." She rolled her eyes as she shoved it onto the bracelet. I handed her the next box, "Alright, here is something new," I told her as she began to rip apart the paper.

Jenna had stopped working; it looked as if she was done. Her hair was cute and flirty, "Oh my," she said as she pulled out the Honeymoon gown she will be wearing on the plain. It was simple cute flirty dress that Chad will not probably be able to keep his hands off.

The dress would go just past her knees, it would hug many of her curves and it was just plain cute. The dress was a cream color but it was adorable.

"Wow, thank you guys."

"You have to wear it tonight when you guys leave."

"I will thank you,"

"Okay, you are forgetting one." She said, I looked over at her mom and she nodded, "I am going to take up this last one." She said clipping off her diamond necklace. "Something borrowed." She whispered as she gently clasped together on her neck. Grandma lent me hers; it was only fit to let you have mine for the wedding." She smiled and tears blinded her eyes, "Thank you so much mom." She said getting up to give her a hug.

I watched as I heard the faint cry of Liam but Lucille beat me to it. "I got him!" I shrugged as I simply fell back onto the bed, hoping to not mess up my hair.

The make-up artist came in and quickly did everybody's make up. Avery and Alyse showed up ready to be pampered. For the next thirty minutes, it felt like everything went into frenzy. All of the braid house cleaners and the flower girl all were changed into the dresses. Her mom was in her dress while Alyse put on her dress.

"Alright, time to help Taylor put her dress on." Taylor licked her lips as she looked at the dress sitting on the hanger. Un-zipping the back of the thing I pulled the dress out. Everybody who has not seen it gasped lightly as they were all amazed. "Wow that is so pretty." Alyse said as her fingers touched it.

I bit my lip as I hoped I could find something just as pretty. I unzipped the dress as I laid it on the floor to let Taylor step into it. She had her under thing on as we slipped it up her body. Her eyes sparkled; we helped her zip the back of the dress. Kelsi helped her put on the heels she would be wearing.

"Taylor! You look gorgeous!" her mom cried, she dapped her eyes, "You father is going to die when he sees you!" she said gripping her daughter.

We helped Taylor add her vial, I quickly put Liam in his little tuxedo and Lucille reached for the car seat. "I got him," she said, I smiled softly "Thank you. Call me if anything goes,"

"Wrong, no need to be a mother hen," I shot her a glance as she smiled; Lucille kissed my cheek before leaving with my son who began to cry. Instant regert ran through my stomach but I brushed it off.

"Alright, let's help her down to her awaiting Limo." Taylor was beaming as the photographer had appeared hours ago snapping pictures of her getting ready. They had two, one with Chad and one with Taylor.

I hooked arms with Taylor as I held up the back of her dress. Sharpay was holding the front up as we walked onto the elevator. We made it down to the car without a problem. We all got settled while Avery slipped onto Taylor's lap. Alyse freaked and pulled it her off quickly. "Avery, you can sit next to Auntie Taylor but on her beautiful dress."

"Guys, is it just me or is it really hot?" Taylor asked fanning herself, "Taylor, calm down, take a deep breath. I promise you its just nerves."

"Yea, Chad is going to be dead when he sees you."

"Not until after we are married." Taylor joked, I giggled as we drove the short distance to the Church the two would get married in. We would be leaving with them; Taylor, Chad, Troy, and I were all leaving together. Kelsi, Zeke, Sharpay, and Ryan would all leave in another Limo.

I yawned slightly trying not to mess up my perfect makeup.

Once the limo pulled up I knew already Troy was here. There was a coat jacket hanging on the rail and a basketball lying nearby. I laughed as the limo driver opened the door. Each of us got out as we made sure none of the guys were around.

Taylor hurried out as we made it inside, a woman waiting for us lead us to a room where the flowers were awaiting. I smiled as they handed each of us a bouquet to carry. I was the lucky winner to get to hold Taylors.

"Alright Gabi, here is the ring. You have to keep this." A woman told me, I looked at her and then at the ring that Chad would wear for the rest of his life. I nodded, "Alright," I said as I took it into my hands, "Best place to put it is your thumb," she whispered to me walking away.

"Thank you," I mouthed back at her, the last twenty minutes of Taylor's single life was winding down. I poured a quick glass of wine and we each held them.

"One last drink." I said raising it up; she smiled and tried best to hold the tears. We clinked glasses together before swallowing quickly.

The door creaked open and Josh poked his head through, his face lighting as he saw Taylor. "My princess," he whispered coming closer to get a better look.

I grinned softly as she embraced her dad into a tight hug, "Well they are calling us to get into order. So we all better hurry up." I even felt nerves as I going to see Troy. I smiled at Taylor who linked arms with her dad. I stopped to give her a fast hug. "Good Luck," I whispered into her ear.

"Thank you," she started, "For always being there."

"I will never stop," I whispered giving her one last squeeze, we both pulled back with shiny tears. "Let's go," somebody ushered and I was quick to spot Troy's head.

I smiled softly as I saw him give off a quick laugh; he had on a yellow vest with a flower stuck to his suit. Girls started to attach arms as they formed into the lines. The Flower girls were first, followed by the rest of us. Troy started to look for me but I was standing behide him. I circled my arms around his waist.

His eyes quickly scanned me as his lips slipped apart, "You look amazing." He whispered against my ear, "So do you." He gave me a quick kiss, "I still havent seen my son." I giggled, "Your mom might have kidnapped him." He rolled his eyes as the music started. "You ready for this?"

"Yup,"

I took a deep breath as everybody walked down the aisle. Troy and I were next, "This will be us in a few months," he whispered softly into my ear, "Just we will be walking back down the aisle." He grinned as we licked tighter arms.

Once we got to the alter we both went separate directions. He squeezed my hand once more before letting go. I stood firmly with the little girl in front of me.

"Avery, you okay?" I whispered to her, "Yes," she responded quietly, I looked over at Troy who was waving at Liam. Liam of course was mesmerized at him standing there and giggled. I smiled as Lucille was laughing; everybody stood at the change of music and turned.

I watched Chad's face, as I already knew what the dress and Taylor looked like. Chad's lips parted and he looked shocked, I glanced over at Taylor who looked flawless with the vial covering her eyes.

They made it down the aisle in about a minute while Chad met them at the base. "Who gives this girl away?" the priest asked, "Her mother and me." He responded dabbing at his eyes, Taylor hugged her dad and whispered something into his ear as he walked away back to the seat.

Chad pulled Taylor up to the top. They whispered at each other and then the whole wedding started.

The sharing of a few speeches and then the ring ceremony, they said there vows and then asked for the rings. Troy dug out Taylor's from his pocket while I slipped mine from my finger.

"Chad Michael Danforth, do you take Taylor Mackenzie Mekessie as your lawfully wedded wife?" Chad grinned softly as Taylor had a few tears dripping down her face, "I do." He whispered as he placed the ring on her finger.

"Taylor Mackenzie Mekessie, do you take, Chad Michael Danforth as your lawfully wedded husband?" Taylor sniffled quietly as she nodded, "I do." She slipped on his ring and Chad could not help but burst with pride.

"I now pronounce you Husband and Wife go ahead and kiss the bride." Chad pulled back the vial and his lips attached to hers. It was a quick kiss but long enough for everybody to think it was cute. Taylor gripped his arms around him in a big hug. They both walked back down the aisle. Troy met me with his arm awaiting. "Here goes to the rest of Taylor and Chad's life."

"Finally! I get to see my little guy!" Troy took Liam from Lucille as we arrived at the hall where we would be having there reception. Chad and Taylor was all lovey dovey as we drove over here. We had stepped in to a winter wonderland almost.

The room was sparkling, the food was set up, and the screen and floor were set to go. The DJ was set and running, the bar was ready to go and the food was waiting.

People began to flood into the room. I giggled as Troy kept me close to his side. He had already ditched the jacket and had his sleeves rolled up to his elbows. He hated dressing up like this.

"You guys were so cute," I told Taylor as I gave her a hug; she grinned and then sighed looking at the wedding ring on her finger. "It's beautiful."

The sun was setting as we all were shuffled outside to take pictures. They were quick and painless, mostly of Chad and Taylor. We had one of the girls, different poses. The guys did one while the flower girl and ring boy did one. Liam, Troy, and I all did one together as this was Liam's first one in a suit.

Troy lead me back inside as we were the firsts ones to sit at the table. "I am fucking starving. I swear Chad deprived us of food today." He whispered into my ear, "What the hell that does not sound like Chad."

"He was so nervous about today, like shaking nervous." Troy said his blue eyes serious. He switched arms with Liam and I reached for a bottle from the diaper bag.

"He should probably eat," I said as people all began to sit down, music played in the background softly. "You look really sexy right now," Troy, whispered into my ear, I looked at him and he raised his hands, "I'm sorry," he said kissing my lips and coming back in to another kiss. I shook my head lightly as he began to feed Liam.

"I brought his playpen to set up. I don't know if his feet will ever get close enough to the ground."

"I don't know I might have my mom take him back to our place." I looked over at Lucille who knew are plan and Liam was staying with us since we had more than one room.

Dinner past by with a giant easy leap, everybody was happy and talking. Nobody seemed to be in a bad sprit.

"Alright, time to a first dance with this lovely couple." The DJ announced, Chad took Taylor's hand and led her to the dance floor. I felt Troy slide his hand behide my waist as we stood over to watch. I Do by Colbie Caillate came over the large speakers.

"Really? This is there first dance?"

"They wanted fast beat," I told him quietly as we watched them dance together. Taylor and Chad glided together on the dance floor as he kept whispering into her ear. She would giggle and smile at him every time.

"You ready to make that big speech?" he asked me, Liam burped and I took him from Troy. "Yea, I guess." I told him, he wrinkled his nose before looking down at Liam. The smell hit me and I about gagged, "Troy, you get this one, I am in a dress."

"I am in a suit!"

"No, you get this one." I said handing off the baby, he tried to blink but I walked away from the two. Troy grumbled and then walked off to the bathroom. I laughed as Kelsi joined me, "Hey," she said side bumping me, "Thanks for the room tonight."

"Yea, you have the key right." She nodded, "Yup, totally excited."

I smiled as the first dance ended, I clapped as they went back to there seats. Troy reappeared and handed Liam off to Lucille. "That was some serious shit," Troy said passing by me, I laughed as we both picked up glasses heading up to the stage.

Troy clapped a fork against his glass to get hold of everybody's attention. "Hello everybody!" he said waving, the crowd waved back. "Well, I hope you are all having a fantastic night but now I am going to make a toast to the new couple." Troy held his glass out, as did everybody else grabbing them.

"I have known Chad since I was in kindergarten." He started, "And we have been best friends ever since, I swear we are never going to change. Both of us are boneheads who play basketball. We both played basketball twenty-four seven with each other, if were not playing were were eating. It seemed to be one of the two." The group laughed and Lucille could not help but giggle.

"Now, here we are both grown up. Being just a few days younger than Chad, we have had no competiveness, we just both wanted to be the best but best friends. I also think they same thing happened with our love lives. I found my beautiful fiancée first, she had just moved here and it was love at first sight. She started to hang out with Taylor and then Chad noticed Taylor. It all dwindled down from there. We were both love sick puppies, the girls were friends. I swear they made our lives miserable." I giggled and Taylor shot me a look.

"I just hope Chad and Taylor can have a wonderful marriage, here is to Chad and Taylor!" Troy held up his glass while everybody clicked glasses. Troy moved back and I stepped forward towards the mic.

"Good evening everybody!" I said as smile coming over my face, "I hope you are all having a fantastic evening, I am the maid of honor and Taylor's best friend. I am Gabi and I have known Taylor since I moved to town. She somehow found out I was a nerd and dragged me into the science club." Chuckled were heard through the audience.

"I saw everything with Chad and Taylor as Troy mentioned it was us who basically put the two together. I watched her frat about how she could never want to marry such a pig as Danforth." I mimicked her voice, she blushed, "To how she would stress about which shoes to wear. I never saw that Taylor until Chad had asked her out. Taylor was the most organized fun spirited person but she knew everything, she knew what she was going to do."

Taylor wiped at her eyes as tears formed in mine, "And I know when I get married in a few months she will be doing everything I did for her. I know I was not as big of a help as becoming a mother in the process but I did what I could. I am so happy I was able to bond further with you Taylor over this whole process. Here is to Taylor and her pig Danforth." The room chuckled as everybody clicked glasses once more before taking a drink.

I stepped back off the stage and walked down near Troy. "Come on crazy; let's hit the dance floor before they do cake." He said setting down both of our drinks. He pulled me towards the floor and my heels began to hurt like crazy.

"Hang on a second," I said hanging onto Troys room as I slipped off both of my heels to go barefoot. I tossed them off to the side and Troy took me into his arms. I buried my head into his chest as he swayed me back and forth.

"This is so nice," he murmured, as the music was nothing more than a murmur. Troy though was whispering soft words into my ear but I just hung on to him.

"It has been a long day."

"It's long from over." He added, "I know, but I have a surprise for you at the end of the night." I told him as I stared into his blue eyes. "Oh really,"

"Yea," I gripped into his forearm as he pressed his lips against mine. "Is it that kind of surprise?" I shrugged my shoulders, "Sorta," he looked at me and I escaped from his arms as I took off to where the cake was waiting to be cut. Chad and Taylor were on the way over holding hands. Troy caught up with me as he held my fingers. "Did you take those heels off?" Sharpay asked me as she came up next to me.

"Mhm, like ten minutes ago. They were killing my feet." She nodded, "My back is killing me, that massage didn't last that long." I nodded in agreement. "I know, it didn't, I may need another one."

"Oh yea," she said winking, I laughed as Taylor and Chad began to cut the cake. They both took a piece with there fingers and Chad of course smashed it against Taylor's nose so Taylor proceeded to smash it against his. The crowd cheered as the two kissed and the cake was being passed around. The music started to pump up as the real party was about to begin.

Taylor had even slipped off her magical heels as she started to talk to many different people. Wedding presents were stacking up on the table. Music burst through the room as people gathered around the dance floor. I glanced at my watch to see it was almost eight thirty time does fly. Taylor and Chad were leaving at eleven to catch a flight out to the Caribbean.

Liam was with Jenni over on the side both relaxing talking to somebody. I watched carefully as I grabbed the glass of wine sitting next to me.

"Get rid of the wine! Take this beer!" Zeke said handing it to me, I felt shocked as it shoved into my hand, I looked up at him, "Thanks Zeke but,"

"No buts, have a damn drink," I laughed as I took a drink, he nodded, "Good, that was courtesy of Troy." I felt so dumb to think that was Zeke. He walked away and a grinning Troy stood behide him, "Like that huh?" I shook my head letting out a breathless laugh, "Wow,"

"I event new ways every year," he said pressing his body against mine, "I know you do, you some how amaze me."

"We have so many of these left in our life," Troy said as he stroked my perfect hair, "I know there are at least four weddings I will be attending in the next two years."

"Yea, this is our primetime." I giggled and we all turned to look at the scene of chugging beer. I rolled my eyes, as it was time for the mother/son dance. Troy looked down at me, "You better go find your son." He said nipping my butt, I felt shocked that I have to do this.

I handed him my beer as Jenni meet me halfway with him. "Thanks," I responded a bit out of breath, I carried my four-month-old son to the dance floor as I was meeting with Troy and Lucille. "See, I am still the baby," I looked at him and laughed, "Oh yea," I said teasing him.

Liam looked alert as he reached up for my hair, I giggled as he did. Troy reached over from his mom and tickled his side. "This looks more like a family dance." Lucille said laughing, "That would be incredibly weird."

We all laughed and Liam smiled a little, the song finished out and then it was the daughter/father dance. "Dang, I need a daughter," Troy said as we both left the floor I looked at him. "Ha, no." I replied

"I know I know we have to be married first."

"What makes you want another baby so soon?" Troy shrugged, "I don't know, just the thought of Liam growing up freaks me out." I rubbed his arms and I leaned into him. "I know, it is pretty scary but it will be fine. We will have another one soon enough, but first I would love to get through our wedding."

Troy grinned as he kissed the top of my head, "I know. It does gonna be a good day even though we haven't planned anything."

"I think we should do that soon, figure out what we want."

"We need to hire a wedding planner."

"A wedding planner?" I nodded my head, "They do so much, and make the calls go to dress fittings and all of that stuff."

"Well, if that is what you want."

"We also need to go look at houses." I added, "Maybe we should wait,"

"This doesn't have to all happen at once. It just needs to happen." Troy sighed softly as he rubbed my shoulder; Liam was still lying against my chest.

"YMCA," that is what was running through the area. I was cleaning up some of the stuff sitting around. Empty beer cans, cake plates, and trash.

I looked at my watch once more to see it was nine forty five. "Gabi, its time for the bouquet throw." Somebody said, I nodded as I left my stuff and brushed my hands against my dress. I yawned softly as Liam was off sleeping in his pack n play we brought.

Taylor was on the balcony looking down, I waved and she winked at me. I shook my head as she turned around, "Alright Taylor, throw that to the next bride in 3…2…1." The flowers flew over the edge and I reached up to snap the flowers into my hand.

"What! That's no fair!" Sharpay yelled, "You already have a wedding date." I rolled my eyes and I held the flowers to my chest. I walked away and they were getting ready to do the garter. Troy was the seat as everybody called it and Chad was quick to take it off.

Taylor was blushing as Chad came back. She was clearly embarrassed as she quickly got up and left, Troy joined the group of people and Chad launched the garter at them. Troy snapped it from the air as being a few inches taller than everybody else is.

"Heck yea, I get to dance with my pretty lady," Troy said as he eyed for me, I shook my head and I walked towards him.

"Come on darling," he said in British voice. I rolled my eyes as Troy lead me away to the dance floor, "How did it happen to be the maid of honor and the best man?" I shrugged my shoulders as I moved softly to the music, "Did we take of everything tonight? They have to leave in like thirty minutes."

"Yea, I am pretty sure we got it all. The cake, the flower, the dance, the money dance, and I think that is it." I tried to run through a checklist and I think we got it all. Once the song ended, I tried to leave but Troy kept my close.

"Where do you think you are going?" he whispered, "I have to help Taylor change," I replied, "No, that can wait a few minutes. Just stay here." He said keeping me close. I sighed softly as I buried my head into his chest.

The song ended faster than I expected and Troy let me go. I yawned and Troy gave me a set of soft eyes. "Hey, you feel okay?"

"I am just really tired, I will be fine though." I said as he kissed my forehead. I went to find Taylor and the rest of us as I grabbed her new dress. We walked off to the bathroom and Taylor was just a tad drunk.

"This night was amazing." She said as we helped her out of her dress. I unzipped the back and then helped her into the other one. Sharpay and Kelsi hung up her other dress and put the wrap around the dress again.

Taylor slipped her feet into her shoes while looking at me. "Thank you so much Gabi, I loved everything tonight."

"It was my pleasure Taylor; you get to do the same for me in a few months." She smiled and wrapped me into a hug. All four of us wrapped together and I held on tight.

"Well one down three to go." I grinned, "We will all still be the girls." I whispered a knock came at the door. Chad was standing there. He was in a pair of jeans and a button up white shirt. "Tay, its time to go."

"Have fun!" I yelled as she went to him. He wrapped his arm around her waist as they walked off. People were waiting to throw rice, as they would leave for the airport. I stayed back as did Troy, her parents were there to wave them off and I leaned back against Troy.

"You about ready to leave?"

I nodded my head, "Most people are already gone, so we just have to somewhat see the rest of them leave." I collapsed into a chair as not many people came back inside as they left; Sharpay had come back inside to grab a few things.

"I am exhausted; Kelsi and the rest of us are heading back." I nodded and Troy gripped onto my hand. Chad's parents came over, "You two take Liam home," Richard said, "We can make sure everything gets put back." I nodded quick thanks. "I will go put Liam in his car seat and put everything in the bag."

"I have to pick up a few things. Meet me at the Limo." He nodded and we went separate ways. I gathered up Taylor's dress, my bags and my heels sitting in the corner.

I gathered everything and I heard Liam begin to cry. I glanced over to see Troy putting away his thing while he was sitting in the car seat.

I walked over to them and Troy looked at me, "You ready to go?" he asked, I nodded as he picked up Liam's car seat, the diaper bag, and his suit jacket.

He led us to the awaiting limo, people lingered around outside taking in the last of there drinks. Troy opened the limo door and wiggled Liam inside followed by the other stuff. We did not strap Liam in just set him at our feet.

"So are we going back to the hotel you guys stayed at today?" I nodded, "Mhm,"

"Which one did you go to? Nobody told us," I giggled softly, "You will see," I said as I let my head fall onto his shoulder. I let my eyes fall to a shut as I gripped his arm.

"You seem exhausted," he said, "I am." He rubbed my thigh and kissed my temple. "Well then you will get a great night sleep since I am too."

"Whatever," I said as the car was driving through the late night traffic. Once I felt the limo stop I glanced up at Troy and he raised an eyebrow.

"Do I even want to ask how much this cost me?" I bit down on my lip and shook my head, "Nope, you really don't."
