Gabriella woke up at 2:30 am because of the baby crying. She was about to get out of bed when Troy pulled her back down and told her to stay while he goes and looks after the baby. When he went into the nursery the baby was wailing at the top of her lungs. Troy knew she was not hungry because it was only half an hour since she had been last fed. He picked her up and rocked her back and forth all the way to the changing table. He put her down and started to change her diaper. While he was doing this he was singing:

You are my sunshine

My lovely sunshine

You make me happy when skies are grey

You'll never know dear

How much I love you

So please don't take my sunshine away.

By the time troy was finished the baby was calm and staring up at her dad with her big blue eyes. Gabriella then came in and stood beside watching the little girl while troy was trying to get her to sleep. "Did I wake you" he asked Gabriella "no but I wanted to see her" she replied. They were so fascinated by the beautiful baby girl and still could not get over the fact that she was theirs. Troy placed the baby in her bassinette and placed his arms around Gabriella. She leaned back against him while they watched their daughter drift of into la-la land. They stood their watching her until Gabriella turned in his arms and planted her head in his chest. He held her even tighter against his body and placed his chin on her head. "It's gonna be hard tomorrow" Gabriella said with a heavy sigh. "Why? Because of the paparazzi" she nodded against his chest. "What if they hurt her troy? You know how they are and I can't live with myself if they hurt her." Gabriella looked up at him with tears in her eyes. Troy used his thumb to wipe away her tears and placed a loving kiss on her forehead. "Baby look at me. I will be right there with you and we'll have the body guard with us if anything happens okay." She nodded her head in his chest as he continued to soothe her. He placed a gentle kiss on her forehead and on her temple. She flattened her head against his chest so her ears were pressed to his chest. "I love you" she said as his heartbeat lulled her to sleep. "I love you too, more than you can ever know" he kissed her forehead while running his hands up and down her back. Gabriella got so comfortable and warm that she fell asleep in his arms. He heard her breathing steady and realise that she had fell asleep on him. He picked her up gently and brought her to their bedroom. He put her into the bed and tucked her in. he stood there watching her chest rise and fall before climbing in beside her. He kissed her forehead and wrapped his arms around her around her waist. She turned in her sleep to rest her head on his chest while he just tightened his grip on her. He lay down thinking for a little while about trying to get away from his hectic life of being a celebrity for the sake of his wife and daughter. His mind then drifted to their conversation earlier. At 10 tomorrow morning they were going to make their way to a get together with their families and the gang and their parents. They were always hounded by the paparazzi and it had gotten crazy now because of the birth of April. He thought back to the time where he almost killed one of them when Gabi was 6 months pregnant.

Flashback

Gabriella and troy had a doctors appointment to get to and troy was trying desperately to get her out of the house because of the time for their appointment. "Baby come on, we are gonna be so late" "I am coming I just can't find the house keys" "sweetheart I have got that so come on please" he pleaded with her. She eventually came down the steps wearing a low cut maternity top and maternity boy shorts. Even though she was 6 months pregnant she looked extremely sexy to him. She slowly walked down the steps being extremely careful because of her pregnancy. When she was on the last steps he put his arms out to help her. She then stood in front of him looking extremely annoyed and upset. "What's wrong baby. Don't you want to go?" He cooed softly. "Yeah but I can't find my favourite pair of black and white vans." "They're in my car so if you put on your flip flops and when you get in the car you put your vans on. Okay?" he asked while kissing her forehead. She nodded while looking up at him with a smile that was reserved only for him. ""Thank you, what would I do without you?" "I don't know, die" he teased. She smacked him on the chest as he feigned hurt.

When they went outside they were ambushed by paparazzi. Troy firmly held Gabriella's hand in his and kept her behind him in his shadow. "Please move. I need to get to my car" troy said calmly but all he wanted to do was rip them to shreds. He turned around and put the hood up on the hoodie he had given to her. He put it over her head as the paps went into a frenzy. He grabbed her arm again and turned around and gently pulled her along with him. They stepped aside to let him through but when it came to Gabriella they closed in around and started prodding her stomach in many different places. He turned around and completely lost his temper. He swung at one of them and his camera flew of him. He then saw another one slightly lift her blouse and started moving his hands around her baby bump. By this time Gabriella was crying and started hyperventilating. If troy had a knife he would have stabbed the guy right then and there. He pulled the guy away from her and swung him around he gave him one punch in the nose, you could hear it crack. Immediately blood started spurting out of his nose and the other photographers backed away. They all thought that troy Bolton would never hurt a fly but they were proven wrong. When it came to his unborn child and his wife there is nothing that could or would stop him from killing you. The neighbours called the police as he went over to a hysteric Gabriella. He gathered her up in his arms and went back inside the house. He sat her on his lap as he started to calm her down. He grabbed the phone and rescheduled the appointment. When they heard what had happened they were more than happy to do it some other time. By the time she was calm she fell asleep with her head on his chest.

END FLASHBACK

As he was lying there he made a promise to himself that no-one would hurt Gabi or his children as long as he lives. He went to sleep thinking about that.

The next morning he woke up to the sound of April crying. He gently removed Gabriella's head from his chest. He crept out of the room and went to pick up the baby. When he picked her up she started to calm down. "That's a good girl. Aren't you?" he cooed while tickling her stomach. She gave a tiny smile as her big blue eyes started taking in everything around her. He walked back into his bedroom silently with the little girl in his arms. He sat down on the bed and continued playing with the little girl. She stretched her hand out to grab his nose bit he nibbled on her hand as she stuck the other one in her mouth. Troy then held her to his chest as he climbed back under the covers and raised the blanket up to cover her back. Gabriella rolled over to put her head on Troy's chest but only felt his legs. "Look April, mommy's waking up." He turned her around so she could see Gabriella waking up. When she heard troy talking she opened her eyes and saw the baby staring back at her. She then went over and took the baby and sat between his legs. She leaned back into his chest as she wrapped the baby in the blanket and just stared at her. "Are you going to practise today?" she asked softly "no, I got the rest of the week of and remember we are going to my mom's today" she simply nodded her head as she was simply adoring the baby she held in her arms.
