Chapter 30 – Ten Days and Counting

"No, that is going to be for the reception." I sighed into the phone as Troy opened and shut the garage door. His sweaty eyebrows glanced at me.

Liam patted down on the floor as his seven months body crawled towards him. Troy bent over and then tossed him gently into the air before kissing his belly.

"No, thanks, just, yes, call them." I sighed and then tossed my cell phone onto the couch. "This sucks. I mean, why didn't we just elope?" I asked as Troy put Liam back down and collapsed next to me on the couch. He leaned over to give me a sweet sloppy kiss on my cheek.

"Gross," I said wiping it away, "How was your long run?" I asked as I slide my hand over his thigh and he bounced his foot up and down.

"Ten days until I can finally call you Mrs. Bolton," he pushed me further down onto the couch and then his wet lips slobbered over mine. I laughed and I pushed my hands firm against his chest.

"That's gross," Liam looked up at us, "Tell your daddy no, that is gross." Liam made a noise and then sat down on his butt. Liam was officially sleeping through the night and was almost off bottles. He would have water and some formula but not as much as he used to.

Troy bent over again and then kissed my lips. "I love you baby butt." I laughed, "Baby butt?" he shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know, it sounded cute."

"It was corny, just not, the right thing." He shrugged his shoulders before sitting up on his knees. I bent over and reached to give him a boost up. I sat him down on my chest, "Ten days until we are all Bolton's,"

"Chad decided we are doing our Bachelor party on Friday, when are you girls doing it?" I shrugged, "I think we might do it Saturday, they want to fly to Vegas though." Troy wrinkled his eyebrows, "Is LA not good enough for you all?" I shrugged my shoulders at him.

"I don't know, if I had a choice, I would go to New York," he rolled his eyes before squeezing my knee, "I would go to Vegas,"

"I love New York and I have only been there once for like a day." Troy gripped my waist and pulled me close to him. "So, I am supposed to run this by you…" his fingers swirled my back, "Run what by me?"

"Chad wants to have strippers and I said I have to talk to you first." I frowned and then I smoothed my hand over my jean shorts.

"Strippers?" I choked out, "We seriously do not have to have them, I partially rather have you as my stripper but it's supposed to be my last hoorah."

"I just don't anything to happen when you are…drunk." Troy gripped my shoulders and then kissed my cheek. "I promise it's totally up to you."

I thought about it for a few moments. I thought about that this was going to be it. I turned in his lap and then looked him into the eye, "Let's make a deal, if you can have strippers, I can have strippers at my party, fair enough?" His eyes looked down at me, "I don't know how that is fair…" he teased, "I mean the only good looking guys body out there is mine." I gasped and I pushed his shoulder.

"That was rude!"

"I just don't to get in trouble before the rings are on our fingers." His hands slide over my back and he pulled me closer to his body. His lips attached to the back of my neck, he gently sucked on it, my eyes closed, and I could barely breathe.

"Troy, your seven month old is sitting in front of us." I murmured as his fingers slide between my waistband of my shorts. His breath hit the back of my neck with great shock.

"Maybe its nap time," I gasped as he hit that one spot, "He just woke up from his nap," I whispered as I tried to keep control of myself.

"Hmm…" Troy ran his hand over the flat part of my back. Troy kissed my shoulder and then picked me up and plopped me back onto the couch.

"Huh…Hey!" I protested as he took the steps two at a time up to the second floor. He laughed before he escaped into the bedroom door. "Your dad is incredibly evil," I murmured as I picked up Liam. I heard the water flow through the house.

I stood up and glanced at the clock. "Do you want to eat?" his eyes bounced towards mine and then towards his jumpy.

"I did not say jumpy, I said food," he wiggled in my arms as it had only been a few hours since he had last ate but if he wanted to jump, jump. I set him in and he bounced happily. I washed the dishes that were sitting in the sink before kicking off my flip-flops. Summer had flown by, it was September 1 and I was getting married in ten days.

The summer months were brutal, they were hot and long. Those times were not ending yet but the worst was over. I sat down in the barstool chair and watched Liam bounce happily.

"Look who is a bouncy bounce." Troy stood in the doorway as Liam bounced off the floor once more. "He is so cute," Troy said as he passed into the kitchen. His hair was wet from his shower and the long strands were flashing into his eyes. Stubble was growing onto his face, as he has not had a reason to shave in a while. Troy grabbed the leftover Mac and cheese from the other day.

He placed it into the microwave, "Are you going to get your haircut?" I asked as I played with my fingernail, "When?" he asked turning to look at me. "Before the wedding,"

"Probably, I dunno no." he said as he reached for a fork to stir the Mac and cheese. "Well if you would please, just a trim at least? I love you longish hair but seriously, it's in your eyes." He rolled his eyes before pushing the macaroni back into the microwave.

"I will work that into my schedule. So you said we have everything set?" Troy asked as he sat down next to me, "Yup, I am packing now but Taylor just texted me asking if we could go to Vegas."

"Gabs," he whined, "I don't you all the way in Vegas, and I will miss you." He cuddled his nose against my neck. "Good, I honestly would love to go but I don't want to leave Liam alone with you." I said as I ran my hand over his chest. "Wait, what?" he asked backing his head away.

"Kidding. Seriously, I would miss my baby too much and then I am already leaving for two weeks with the honeymoon."

"Where you will finally be all mine," he grinned and pressed his lips against mine. "I love you baby girl,"

Eight Days. It was funny to be able to count on my hands. It was funny to think I will one day be a Mrs. Bolton. It was funny to even think that Troy Bolton was going to marry me of all people.

I snorted aloud as I crossed my feet over my lap. I scanned over some of the last minute details, "Gabi!" my head shot up to see Taylor standing in the doorway.

Troy had left just an hour earlier for his bachelor party. The guys decided that this was going to be there drinking night out but then later next week, the day before the wedding I think they were going to play golf and then have a light drinking party, light, I don't know.

"I want to talk about your bachelorette party," she said as she slides onto my bed. Liam was sitting up in his saucer as he played. "Okay, what are we going to do," I asked, "A girl's day out? I mean it is perfect; we are going to the spa in the morning, grab some lunch and then shopping. After shopping, drinking, clubs."

"Sounds great," I told her as I scanned over my laptop again. "Well, do you have any other suggestions?"

"Well, no I don't really. We are flying out to this place in less than a week, a week. Five days I will be in Lake Tahoe looking at the destination. "We are having shirts made up and stuff for the big day. The hair dresser and makeup artist finally confirmed with me." Taylor flopped her hands around as I concentrated back onto the laptop once again.

"Okay! What in the hell are you looking at?" My eyes looked up at her, "I am making Troy's last single note that I am supposed to write."

"Oh, well anyways Troy said stripper's right?" I shrugged, "They are not nessccsary, I am a huge drunk and I don't anything to happen like that." Taylor snickered, "I might have to cancel that then, or I could tell them no sex…" I shot Taylor a look and Liam began to cry. I tossed one of the pillows that lay on top of me away before grabbing him.

Cradling the bigger boy in my arms, I laid back into bed with him. "Has he became a sound sleeping,"

"Yea, can you believe that Sharpay is due in November? It's going to be crazy with two of you bring moms, I am going to feel left out and then I am going to have to have a kid."

"You and Chad should just do it and get it over with. You have no idea what its going to be like. I mean they could all be friends since they will all be around the same age."

Taylor sighed, "Yea, I don't know, I just don't know what to do anymore." A brilliant scream erupted through the house and I turned my head quickly to see Sharpay jumping up and down with her pregnant belly.

"Shar! Stop!" I said, she stopped and then held her belly for a moment, "I am officially engaged." She flashed her ring out in front of here and then Taylor and I screeched. We jumped up and then embraced her into the hug.

"Oh my goodness! That is amazing! You have to explain how he did this."

Sharpay sighed, "It was amazing. So he found a location for his new restaurant, I didn't know this by the way." Taylor and I shared glanced, "It is this really beat up place but he blindfolded me and then he took it off. I was very confused. I mean he told me to dress eh, nicer but then when he took it off, I was freaked. The cobwebs and all that shit but anyways he told me this was the start of his future. That this was going to be his restaurant of food. He was excited."

I grinned at her as I put my elbows on my knees. My laptop sat next to my leg, "I was trying not to frown because I could feel the separation anxiety starting. He then turned towards me, I quote," she smirked, "Shar, you are my whole life though and I will not be able to do this without you or our baby, so," she stopped to dap at her eyes, "He then dropped to his knee and asked him to marry me."

Taylor and I pulled out her hand and the diamond was perfect. It was small but right to the point you know Zeke went out on a limb to get it. There was a pink diamond set in the stone and it made it Sharpay worthy.

"That is beautiful,"

"He even made me feel a little better by putting it in a Tiffany and Co box," she smiled a little, "You will be rich, once word gets out about Zeke's cooking, trust me he will have several restaurants open."

Sharpay settled into the couch and then she looked at Liam. "Wow, he is really getting big. How old is he again?"

"Seven months, can you believe that? He will be eight when I get home from the honeymoon."

"Are we going to be trying for baby number two?" Sharpay asked wiggling her eyebrows, I shook my head, "Uh no," I snorted, "Baby number two isn't in the picture for a while." I commented, "Yea, you and Troy will be pregnant again by this time next year,"

"I just don't want to rush any of this. I mean seriously, I don't want Liam to have to worry about his mom and dad being focused on another baby."

"If you suddenly were pregnant today, would you be upset or happy?" Taylor asked as she stuffed a piece of gum into her mouth. "I would be happy, I mean I want more kids but baby number two just is not in the picture. We want to wait until Liam is at least closer to two."

"To try or to have?" I shrugged my shoulders, "I don't know," Taylor played with her fingers and then she looked up, "I want to get pregnant now. I just don't want to be stressing over it."

I took Taylor's hand into my, "Okay, I totally didn't get pregnant on purpose but I have heard this story from several people. Just stop taking birth control. Stop and do not tell Chad, just let it happen. Don't stress over the deal and just let it happen." Taylor took a breath, "So just toss the birth control out?"

"Whenever you are ready. Once you stop taking it, just forget about it." Taylor glanced at Sharpay, "Do you think I am ready?"

"Taylor, seriously, you are the smartest one here, you waited to have a baby." She giggled, "I don't think you guys planned on having a baby this young and not married."

"Not really," Sharpay muttered, I looked at her and then at Taylor, "Good luck," she smiled and then we all sat back, "I love how you all show up at my house."

Liam jumped up and then he yawned, I mean I think he yawned. "Looks like it's about time for bed." I said as I stood up and then shut my laptop. I picked up the little one and he rested his head on my shoulder. I picked up a small bottle for his late night dinner before he went to bed.

Cradling him, I placed the tip of the bottle near his mouth and he brought his hands up to help hold the bottle. They slipped at first before he grasped it a little better. I rested my hand on top as I sat back down on the couch. "Troy was telling me he was trying to hold his own bottle."

"It's pretty insane but he is. Do you guys think you can stay a while and help pack boxes?" I begged, well I did not beg but I was ready to. "Shouldn't you sleep?" I shrugged, "Sleep has left my body, and I am just a bundle of energy without sleep." I said as I took Liam's arms down.

"I can, I mean, I have nothing to do and I am not carrying a baby." Taylor said making a pointed look over at Sharpay. "The guys aren't do back for many hours. I mean many hours," Sharpay spoke as she stood, "Put me on tape duty." I raised my eyebrows and nodded. "Perfect. Let me just get this little one up to bed."

Liam was drifting off to sleep as the bottle was tilting out of his mouth and his blue eyes were dropping shut. The girls followed me up the stairs and I changed him into footie PJ's. His hair drooped down and I needed to give him a bath. Liam's gently face buried into my chest as I rubbed his back.

His fingers gripped out my shirt as he rested his head on my shoulder. "God, I don't think my kid could even by that cute," Sharpay murmured, "I mean the kid won't have Troy's genes." She started and then wailed her arms.

I snapped my fingers as I reached over the crib to put him down but he did not let go easily. Once his fingers separated but he quickly opened his eyes and his lip trembled, I pulled him quickly back to my chest.

"He is in a mood," I whispered as I rocked him some more, Sharpay and Taylor awed, "So it sounds like instead of packing the rest of my house, we are going to sit in my room with a baby boy who wants his mom and watch Dear John," the girls cheered and we exited out of the room.

"So he is only like this every now and then?" Sharpay asked as we all cuddled up onto the bed. Liam softly slept as we turned on Dear John. Taylor flashed the lights, "Yes, he will be like this with me or with Troy. I mean seriously, it's cute but I don't want those days to be with Troy when he is away."

"You have less than a month less with him," I scowled and then turned my head away, "Not funny, I mean I can not believe it's almost done."

"One season down, many more to go," I let my hand run over Liam's back and circle it in motion. "So is Troy going to be around for all of Liam's first holidays?" I shrugged my shoulders, "I have no idea, he got his schedule but he hasn't really said anything."

Channing Tatum crossed the screen with his beautiful charm. "I don't even want to think about such things. That's so hard to think about."

"I could see how. I am so happy that Zeke will be around a lot." Sharpay smiled as she traced her hands over her stomach, "So who is all coming to my party tomorrow?"

"Well, I have the group of girls meetings at my place. Yet, I was thinking of something, don't you have season tickets to the Giants?" I squinted my eyes and looked at her, "What are you talking about?"

"The Giants are home all week; send Troy and Liam up there. Then we can have this house to ourselves, I mean a whole weekend of this?"

"A whole weekend away from this?" I asked as I brushed Liam's hair out of his eyes. "I would love that but Troy is going to be here. They went up two weekends ago. He had a blast but it was crazy. Troy said he wants LA Angels tickets instead for Christmas, so he can go to more games." Taylor giggled.

"Hopefully he can catch his Giants in act later then huh?" I nodded, "Yea, but now we are moving away from LA. It's almost hopeless,"

"So have you decided which room Liam is going in?" Taylor asked me, "I think the two rooms down from the master. Not quiet time to be that far apart, now we are not going to paint this room special, he will probably switch rooms in the near future."

"That's good. He is so cute," Taylor, whispered, "So what are your ideas again?"

"Just a girls day out, I mean does that not sound bliss?" I smirked as it sounded amazing, "It sounds like heaven in a bottle. I mean, clubbing at night will be amazing in the end."

"I know! I am excited, I loved my party."

"I don't think Zeke and I are going to get married until next summer. I watched Gabi plan her wedding in a rush, it is crazy. Therefore, I am going to slowly plan mine out. In addition, I think Kelsi is going to my maid of honor, followed by you too. I love you both but do you really want to be maid of honors twice?" we shook our heads.

"So if this happens, then I can be Kelsi's and we all did it once." We smiled and high-five. "Amazing!"

Troy's POV

I tipped back my beer, my first, as the guys gathered around laughing. "Troy, dude, are you ready to be married?" I grinned as I looked down in my lap.

"Friends, Troy here has been ready to marry this princess since they met." Chad slurred, I was quiet possibly going to be drunk by the end of the night but it was just beginning.

"Guys, she is not a princess, she is probably the most down to earth person in the world." I tipped my chair backwards a little as we were in a private room in the back for now. As I said, it was still very early in the night. The curtain popped open to reveal Mason pushing through.

"Great, parents," Chad grumbled as he plopped his drunken ass off into the chair. I laughed, "He invited me," Mason said as I got up from the chair to greet him into a high five and into a hug.

"I know he is just drunk. He grabbed three shots on the way in and at least two beers have already been down." Mason raised an eyebrow. "How long have you been here?"

"A little over an hour."

"That must be what married life does to people," I scratched my chin and laughed, "So how is little guy?" I planted back down into a chair to finish off my first beer and reach for the next one. The place shuddered and then music blasted through the area. The guys cheered as they got up, "Bolton! You are starting to do shots now; it's more than an hour in!" Luke held up his glass and then I nodded.

"Give me a ten second conversation with my uncle, sober." I said holding up a finger, "You can talk tomorrow!"

"Just go get the damn drinks." I said as they all scurried off, I turned back to Mason, "Liam is great but I need to tell you something, I need you to know this now," Mason looked at me and I handed him a piece of paper.

His eyes scanned over the paper and he raised his eyebrows. "You play both days?" I shrugged, "I have no control, and I just need you to make sure." Mason nodded fast, "I will, I will make sure. I promise," Mason scanned my eyes, I gave him a brief nod, and the boys returned.

Two girls in skimpy bras and tight black butt shorts entered the room with drinks on there trays. I knew that Chad had drug us to a strip club, Gabi said okay to it in the end but it still almost did not feel right.

"Okay, we heard we have a guy who is going to be married in eight days! Who might that be?" the girl giggled and I looked down to roll my eyes, I needed to be drunk if this was going to happen.

"That boy over there. You might to give him a few strong drinks first, so he doesn't remember a damn thing to tattle to his fiancée too." Chad blubbered and I looked at the girls. They both smirked and handed me the trey.

Two drinks were down before I could blink. A third quickly followed and I shook my head trying to get the string out of my mouth. I blinked my eyes several times before I grabbed my beer and took a long drink.

I felt one of the girls touch the back of my neck but things were tipsy now. "Maybe we should help you forget about that lovely fiancée for her," I turned to look at Mason, "I'll keep an eye on you," he mouthed; I put my hands together and then gave into the other drink being shoved into my hands.

Standing up, I downed it and then pushed through the crowd. The girls followed as we mixed into the dance floor. Sweat poured as the air became stiff.

Hours steadily flew by, more drinks came down, and more things happened that I do not even know what happened. Mason started sober, watching or at least I hope he did.

Gabi's POV

My eyes glazed the clock as it hit four in the morning. Troy was coming home; he said he was coming home. The girls had left to go home around midnight. I told them they could all stay over but they opted to go home.

Liam had detached himself from me during the movie. I tossed in the bed again and I finally sat up and groaned. I could call none of them because they had to be all drunk.

Oh God. What happened if he was in some girl's bed, oh God. I took deep breaths as I tried to think straight. Liam's cry picked up through the house and I stood up quickly. Going over to his, crib and I picked him up. He had drool running down his face and the area around his mouth looked sore.

Oh…oh my goodness. He is teething; I ran my hand over his back as I turned out the room. I could see the white little bud in the front. I knew this was not good. Troy was not home and it was four in the morning. Liam was teething and I had no idea what to do but to give him a damn teething ring that was still in the packaging.

Going into the bathroom, I washed my hands and then ran my finger over his gum. He gripped onto my shirt and then cried harder. So that was not helping, I adjusted him onto my waist. Running downstairs, I found the packaging and I slipped it into freezer hoping it would freeze fast.

I then found a washrag. I rinsed it off and then I placed it over the freezer. I rocked Liam a little until I heard the front door crack open, Liam's cry had faded, and I kept him near my body as his fingers were once again wrapped around my shirt. His fingers placed in his mouth.

I felt relief wash over me as I heard four feet stumbling. I rushed down the stairs to see Mason and a very drunk Troy trying to get back out. "Troy, you have a son here remember? You might not want to wake him up or your wonderful fiancée, remember her?"

"Fiancée?" Troy slurred, Mason rolled his eyes and then pushed him towards the living room. "Mas," he turned and then he tried to keep his reaction in check. "God, don't scare me. Troy said Liam is sleeping through the night."

"I think he is teething. I finally got him to quiet down just a few minutes ago." I glanced at Troy who had stumbled and fell onto his butt. "I havent seen him this drunk in a long time."

"Those guys were brutal with him. I swear I kept a long eye on him though. I drove everybody home or set up rides. Therefore, I hope they all get home okay. They were all like this."

Troy sprawled out and then Mason shook his head, "I am not going to argue with him. I mean,"

"I don't need him with a hurt back. I would help you but this was the grip this kid has on me," Mason rolled his eyes and then help Troy get up onto the couch.

"God, he didn't smoke did he? I can smell him from all the way over here. Then the alcohol." Mason squinted his eyes as he looked at the pasted out sap on the couch.

"Nope. He was a perfectly good boy besides receiving the lap dances from the stripper, no flirting back just enjoyment." I felt awkward with his uncle telling me this. "You didn't care about that right?"

"Uh, no. I just didn't think I would get the pleasure of hearing about it." I said putting on a fake smirk, I looked at the clock once more and then went to grab the half-frozen washcloth. I gave it to Liam to suck on and he seemed to enjoy it.

"Good Lord, that child is growing. He is so big," I smiled down at the little boy, "I know. I cannot almost believe its been a half a year since he was born. I mean, it feels just like yesterday." Mason laughed and nodded, "I am going to crash upstairs, I mean if that is okay with you."

"Just don't get us up really early," he nodded and laughed, "Trust me, I have no intentions of getting up early." I followed Mason up the stairs as I took Liam into my room. I held onto him as he began to fall asleep. I pushed him into his snuggle rocker as I fell into the bed.

I yawned as I rolled over and was out within seconds.

Feeling the bed shift, I opened my eyes to see a very pained Troy crawling into the bed. I rolled over and stripped my hand over his waist, "What time did I fall asleep?" he mumbled softly as he let his hand fall over his hand. The sun poured into the room and he had to be hung-over.

"You didn't get home until four," I whispered, he groaned and then roll over to bury his head into the pillow. I rubbed my hand over his back. "You smell so bad."

"I am so tired and my head is pounding." Almost as Troy finished his sentence, Liam started to cry. I tried not to burst out into laughter but Troy was hung-over and this was not helping. His face turned towards mine and his eyes pleaded to me.

"Please, I just need a few more hours of sleep. Please," he begged as he closed his eyes once more. I leaned forward on my elbows and kissed his lips. "Only for you."

I tossed back the blankets as I picked up the crying baby. I handed him the washcloth but that provided no comfort. Shutting the door with a bang, I went to the kitchen to grab the teething ring.

His fingers wrapped around it and then placed it into his mouth. I slipped him into his high chair and then started grabbing things to feed him. I yawned and buried my head into my shoulder. "Okay, you do know it's only nine in the morning?" I turned my head to see Mason in the doorway.

"I had to pee; it's what happenes when you get old. I then heard you all chattering down here." I laughed, "It also happens when you have kids."

Mason nodded as he went over to the highchair. "You look exhausted."

"I got about five hours of sleep, not even that. Liam kept stirring every now and then." I yawned again and then Mason took the baby food from my grasp. "Go back to bed. I can finish feeding him, do you think he will relax and lay in his crib." I took the baby food back from him.

"You brought my fiancée back in one piece; you don't have to deal with our son. I will be fine," Mason gave me a glance, "Troy would rather I feed him and let you sleep."

"I rather you sleep and I feed my baby." Mason gave me a long glance, "Fine. I will let you win this time but also because I am exhausted." Mason then turned on his heel and pattered up the stairs.

I opened the top of the bananas and then dipped the spoon inside. I stuffed the spoon into the mush and then popped it into his mouth. He squished it around before rejecting some of it.

Cleaning off his chin, I rubbed my finger. The banana mush took about twenty minutes to finish. We had begun using sippy cups for water to wean him off the bottle. He will get bottles in the evening before bed but only to give him some variety.

Picking him up out of his highchair, I cleaned him off and then went upstairs with him. He kept his teething ring close to his mouth and chewed on it every now and then.

I changed his diaper and then changed him into a different pair of clothes. I could barely keep my head up as I yawned again and my eyes were heavy.

Sitting down in the rocking chair, I rocked back and forth. With only seven days until the wedding, a full week, I was exhausted. I was so happy that moved the bachelorette party until two because I did not want to get up right now.

Rocking back and forth, with Liam sitting in my lap playing with his teething ring. My eyes drifted from shut to open and then back. I was losing control fast and the darkness was inviting.

"Oh man, we just better pick you up," my eyes flew open and a gasp escaped my mouth. "Hey, it's just me." Mason stood in front of me as he had paused in front of my view.

"What time is it?"

"Almost noon, I come in here to find you like this. Little Liam in your lap with you sleeping, if you are still tired go back into your room. I can't sleep any longer."

"I probably won't go back to sleep. I sat up a little straight and set Liam loose on the floor. He sat down and then crawled away. "He must have fallen asleep too, I mean, that kid moves a lot."

"He looked like he had just woken up. He was still against your chest when I walked in but then he heard me." I nodded as I rubbed my eyes. "I am going to wake Troy up," I said, "So; we will be down in a little bit."

Mason picked up Liam as he zoomed down the stairs as airplanes. Padding down the hallway into our bedroom, boxes started covering most of the floor.

I slide near his body as he was still buried into his pillow, blankets wrapped around his head. I snuck my arms around his neck and he groaned. "Go away." He whispered I kissed his ear, "You need to get out of bed. I know you want to sleep all day because of this horrible hangover but seriously, get your ass out of bed."

"I'm tired."

"Me too, I went to bed too when you got home. I also got up with Liam twice; did I mention his has teeth coming in? Yea, so he was crying earlier at four for that."

Troy rolled over and I straddled his lap. He opened his eyes and then put his hand on my waist. "I'm sorry that I left on a night like that, I am just, and I just want to go back to bed."

I leaned forward and then pressed my lips tightly against his. "No, come down stairs and get some coffee. Hang out with your uncle and watch some baseball on TV." Troy grinned as I helped him up. He flipped over and then tossed blankets over his body.

He smelled himself and then he took two steps towards the bathroom. "I am showering. I promise I will be down in about twenty minutes, unless of course you would love to join me in the shower?" his suggestions appealed, but I shook my head. "Nah. I am just going to change."

Troy came back over and then he kissed my forehead. He winced as I could see his forehead crinkle. "Please, do not do this to yourself tonight."

I laughed, "I'll try my best. I am going to get ready though." I knew today was going to be long and I was not on much time of sleep. I slipped on a pair of white capris with purple top.

"Gabs, are you about ready?" I turned around to see Taylor standing in the doorway. "Yea, totally." I slipped on a pair of black strappy flats and clasped them to my feet. Yawning I touched up my makeup and Taylor adjusted my hair.

"Troy said it was a late night. So I thought we could shorten our exhausting trip to just the spa, lunch, and if we have plenty of time shopping."

"Sounds fabulous,"

"I didn't know if you wanted to stay out tonight." I rubbed my hands together and then I nodded, "Yea, but how about we keep it low-key? Maybe just go to a bar or something."

"No club?"

"Nah, we can save that for later. Cash in a rain check or something." I said with a hint of a grin. "Yea, well let's get out of here."

Heading down the stairs, I saw a tired looking Chad holding Liam in his lap. "You know, that kid loves to crawl." I said as I picked up my purse. Troy came around and wrapped his arms around my waist; he kissed the back of my neck before walking away towards the couch.

"This so does not feel like a party," Taylor added, "Trust me, I like it. Oh, who is all going to be there?"

"Kelsi, Shar, Haley, Jillian, and myself. It's basically the bridal party,"

"Good. Then I can give you guys your gifts over dinner." I headed into the kitchen to grab a bag full of the gifts I had gotten them all. "Did you not want to take them to Lake Tahoe?"

"Nah, the less baggage the better," I slide it over my wrist and I went over to kiss the top of Liam's head. "Bye baby boy,"

"Did Sharpay come over last night?" Troy asked with a little grin, "Yea, she did. Did he do it last night before he left?"

"No, the night before. She wanted to tell you guys in person," I saw the hint in his eye and then I narrowed my eyes at him, "How long did you know?"

He chuckled, "Uhm, yea, I knew for a while. I knew he was going to do it and everything." I shook my head, "You men keep everything from us."

"You women can not keep a secret." Troy said as he reached over to pick up one of the many sandwiches sitting on the table. Taylor and I waved goodbye to the boys before leaving. "How bad was Troy this morning?"

"He didn't come up to bed until later. I mean, sevenish." Taylor looked over at me as I gripped onto the side by the window. I rubbed my hands in a circle as I looked up.

"Wow, did you hear him come home at four?"

"Yea, Mason led him into the house and crashed on the couch. Liam was awake and he was teething or something. So that is why I was awake most of the night."

"Yikes. Well, anyways Chad smelled so bad. I almost made him take a shower before he got into bed." I giggled and then we pulled into the local spa place. "I am so ready to relax."

"Looks like you deserve it."

"Oh my goodness," I murmured as the deep tissue massage felt so good in my back. I took a deep breath and let them sink into me. I have had a facial and somebody gave me a pedicure.

"I would have to say this is one of the best bachelorette parties…ever." Sharpay murmured as she was even getting a massage, "That has to feel amazing for you. I know when I was eight months pregnant and I got my message, oh lord it was heaven." I let my head raise a little to look around the room.

"I love my kid, but I think she is making the knots in my neck." The woman told Jillian to relax and they began to argue. I giggled and the lady kept going smoothly into my back.

We had just had lunch a few moments earlier, right before the massage started. All we had next was a scrub with something. "So when are you getting married?"

"In a week!" I cheered slightly in my head, "Oh that is fantastic! Do you plan on having any kids?"

"We already have a kid actually."

"Are you only getting married because of this kid?" I frowned but I knew the question, "No. I have been dating this guy for six years. It was just time to get married."

"That's fantastic. Very lovely," The room quieted down to a shush and you could only hear the waves on the beach which was only a few feet away from the building.

The long quiet moments were the thinking moments, or naptime, I almost fell asleep earlier but my energy was rising, as I had been relaxing for a few hours.

After another forty-five minutes of the massage, it was time for them to leave and move on. I tipped the lady as she walked away and I sat up clutching the towel around my breast. I picked up my robe and tucked it around me before tighten the strings.

I took a breath as we were moving on, "Before going further, I want to give you guys your gifts. I swear you have been amazing. All of you have pitched in so much and I know, with you being pregnant Shar it just hasn't been easy, so I wanted to reward you all with these."

I handed out the pink and white zebra bags before sitting down on the couch tucking my legs underneath me. They opened the gifts, which all held the same things. Lotion, gift card to AMC Movie Theater, tickets to a Laker game, a pair of flip-flops, a gift card to VS and then some candy.

"Thanks a bunch," Taylor said, "No thank you," they all thanked me but I thanked them afterwards because they have done so much for me.

I took a sip of the ice-cold water. "Alright, I have to ask you all a question. I am being serious to, so," I took a deep breath as this had been on my mind all morning.

"Do you think Troy and I will make it? I mean, like not get a divorce?"

Kelsi and Sharpay snorted, while the other three tried hard not to laugh. "I am bring serious," I protested them; "Honey, you and Troy are going to be like Alli and Noah who died in the same bed on the same night."

"It wasn't like that in the book."

"You two are going to be together forever. I don't care what other people say, you two were made for each other." I gave them a long look and they nodded, "It's like you really found your other half. You two can make the same step at the same time. You both love that little boy you have to death. When he leaves town for basketball, you miss him like crazy. You care for each other like no other."

I swallowed and then I waved my hand in front of my eyes. "I'm on my period," I mumbled as I wiped at my eyes. Sharpay hugged my shoulder and I smiled. "I have only seven days until I marry his sorry ass." Jillian and Haley giggled, "You better have fun with him."

I smirked, "I will."

Kicking off my shoes as I walked in the door I held onto the handle. I glanced into the living room to see Troy lying on the couch with his feet propped up. Liam was sitting in his lap and they were playing.

"Boo." Liam giggled and I then stuck my hands up and he smiled. Troy did it again and Liam roared with laughter as I danced behide him. Troy finally turned around and smiled at me, "I was wondering why he was finally smiling and laughing." I giggled as I stripped off my jacket and went to sit with Troy.

"You guys didn't stay out too long."

"We just went to a few stores then to dinner we went. We stayed there and had some glasses of wine as a group of girls. It was fun," I yawned and Troy sat up to make room on the couch for the both of us.

I lifted my body onto the couch and I yawned. I leaned over and let my head touch his shoulder while he rubbed my knee. Liam sat up and looked at the both of us.

"You are excited arent you." I tapped his nose and he giggled again, Troy slung one of his arms around my shoulders. It was only eleven thirty at night.

"Did you enjoy your last single ladies night out?" I giggled, "Yea, it was pretty fun. I have not been single though in six years, that is almost what I do not understand. They say it's your bachelor party that it's your last night single but you aren't single."

"But you arent married, so it's almost not as bad." I smoothed my hand over Troy's shirt and then I played with the hem of it. Liam squealed and then patted his hands together.

"I think I am going to go give this little guy a bottle then we can both crash." I stood up and Troy followed as we headed separate directions.

I went upstairs and changed into a pair of boy shorts with one of Troy's many t-shirts. I then tossed my hair around before relaxing into bed. A yawn suspended through my mouth and I felt my eyes feeling loose.

"Did you take your contacts out?" I opened my eyes and then groaned, "I'll bring your stuff."

"Is Liam sleeping?"

"As soon as half of that bottle was gone he was down for the count," Troy handed me everything for my contacts and then slipped down into bed putting them next to me.

"Good. Hopefully he will sleep for most of the night." Troy crawled into the bed next to me. We did not even turn the TV on as he wrapped his arms around me.

"I am exhausted." I whispered Troy rubbed my lower back, "You have been planning a wedding that is a week away. You have every right to be exhausted."

"I have finally found out why people go on honeymoons."

"Why? To have sex non stop?" Troy asked with a little grin, "No," I stretched the last letter out, "To finally relax from all of this craziness. I feel like I don't have enough time for anything."

"Once we say I do, it's all over." I tried not to glare at him but I closed my eyes. Burying my head into Troy's shoulder and then I was out, just like my baby.

Ta da! I hope you all enjoyed this boring and short chapter. I know, this was shorter than normal. By a few thousand words, but when the next chapter comes out on Valentines Day (Can you guess the chapter ;) it will be well worth it. I was very frustrated with this chapter and just ened it.
