Troy pulled the truck up to Gabriella. The flight had ended, and he went to retrieve his truck from the parking garage. Marley stuck her nose out the window and sniffed around.

"Ooh, nice new truck." She said as Troy took Talon off her shoulder.

"I had to get another truck when I got Aubrey because I didn't have enough room in the red truck." He set Talon in his car seat in the back. "Do you know how to secure a car seat?"

"You're asking the girl who had to ask her four year old how to change Aubrey's diaper. I don't know how to do anything."

"I guess I'll have to teach you then, right?" He strapped Talon in and grabbed Aubrey's carseat, buckling it into the back.

"Guess so." She put Lyle's car seat in the back. "I'll let you do that."

He walked over to the other side of the truck and pulled the seatbelt through, buckling it in, and he jumped in the front seat. "We moved about a year ago, but it's pretty close to here." He looked in the back at his sleeping kids. "What time is it?"

She grabbed Troy's phone and touched the screen. It took a second, but a picture of three kids under a Christmas tree flashed across the screen. The time and date came quickly after.

"1:49." She glanced outside at the planes. "In the morning."

"I knew it was morning. What did you think I was, a fucking idiot? The only FUCKING idiot in this truck is Gabriella Montez."

He geared his truck, and Gabriella's eyes couldn't help but peak at him. He was trying as hard as he could to be serious, but he was cracking a grin. Gabriella smacked his leg.

"Asshole." She watched as his grin spread wider across his dark face. He pushed the truck into drive and drove towards the exit.

"What's your problem, cunt?"

"I don't know, gigalo."

He narrowed his eyes. "I am not."

"Gigalo! Gigalo!" She giggled and snapped her seatbelt on. "GIGALO!"

"If I'm a gigalo, then you are a prostitute." He chuckled to himself.

"TROY LIKES PENISES!" She grinned. "You like to suck dicks hard and make them cum right in your mouth."

He opened his mouth to protest.

"AND YOU SWALLOW!" She laughed. "YOU SWALLOW!"

"Disgusting." He shook his head. "How about you? Do you swallow cum?"

"Nope. I'm a good girl. I'm a virgin and I never think about fucking any men."

"Oh okay." He glanced over at her. "Just checking. So you've never ate penis?"

"Nope. Never."

"Liar." He said under his breath. "You ate my dick and you liked it."

"I've never sucked dick before, Bolton. You are the liar. The only person that has had their dick in my pussy is Troy Bolton."

"AND SHE ADMITS IT!" He shakes his head as he pulls out of the airport. "So I've been in your puss puss before? Do you have a kitty in your pants?Tienes un gato en los pantelones? (Do you have a cat in your pants)"

"No, pero usted un gato en los pantelones. (No, but you have a cat in your pants)"

"Oh really." Troy smiled. "It's hairy enough down there to be a kitty."

"Nuh-uh! I shave it!"

"What, four years ago?"

"Troy, shut the hell up." She smacked his arm. "You are disgusting."

"So are you, so don't be talking."

"What do you want from me, sex?"

"I might. It's been years."

"Don't you masturbate?" She raised an eyebrow.

"Only little teenage horny boys masturbate. I never had to because I always had a girl waiting for me to fuck her on my doorstep."

"Stop it!" Talon cries from the back of the truck. "Don't fight!"

Gabriella turns around. "Talon, are you awake?"

He looked at her. "You woke me up."

"I'm sorry baby... " She said. "Daddy and I aren't fighting. Go back to sleep."

He whined a little bit. "Can I come up there with you?"

Gabriella sighed. "Daddy, how about it?"

"No Talon. Go back to sleep."

"But daddy- "

"No." Troy stated firmly. "It's time for bed."

"Troy, come on." Gabriella grabbed his loose hand. "Please?"

"It's their bedtime."

She sighed. "I'll wake you up when we get home, okay?"

Talon sighed. "Okay... "

As Talon drifted off to sleep, Gabriella looked into the back seat. "They are beautiful kids, Troy. All of them."

"I know they are, they came from me." He smirked. "Anything that comes from me is beautiful."

"Really? What about me?"

"Even more beautiful." Troy smiled. "They are such good kids too."

"Other than Lyle. He's a mess."

"What do you mean? He's a good kid."

Gabriella turned back around and looked out the windshield. "He's not potty trained, he's a little liar, he loves to wreck, and he's just a little ass. Reminds me of his dad."

"Hey, I'm potty trained. I go all by myself."

She rolled her eyes.

The truck rolled into a parking lot. The headlights reflected off the clean windows.

"Home." He smiled.

"I thought you moved to a house."

"I can't afford it. Kids are expensive. And to make it worse, I just dropped five grand on Christmas and another $1,500 on plane tickets. It's a big apartment, I promise."

...

Troy carried both Aubrey and Lyle as Gabriella unlocked the apartment. She held Talon's hand. They were all sleepy.

"Oh wow, I guess it is big." She opened the door.

When you walk into the door, you walked into the living room, which had a huge wall mounted flat screen TV and a nice leather sofa. The kitchen was directly across from it with nice, stainless steel appliances and marbled countertops. A hallway extended from the left side where the door was. There were four bedrooms, a master bedroom with a bathroom connected to it, and three smaller bedrooms. Lyle and Talon shared a bedroom, and Aubrey had her own bedroom. The extra bedroom was for stocking supplies. The boys had their own bathroom, and Aubrey had her own.

"Yeah, I got it just in case extra kids with DNA tests showed up on my doorstep. That's how Aubrey ended up here. She was left on my doorstep." He started into the bedrooms. "I'll go put these two to sleep, get Talon into bed."

"Come on baby." She grabbed him under his arms and lifted him up, hugging him close. "Which one is your bedroom?"

He pointed to the last door all the way at the end of the hallway.

She followed Troy down to the end of the hallway. He took a right turn and went into a light pink bedroom filled to the rim with ballet things, and Gabriella went into a light blue bedroom. It was filled with football things and was sporty.

She pulled Talon's blanket back and placed his small body on the bed. She covered him up.

He coughed a little. "I don't feel good."

She looked at Troy as he walked into the room. He set Lyle in a crib.

"Troy, is Aubrey still contagious?"

"No, but the doctor said she'll be sick for a few more days."

Gabriella touched Talon's forehead. "Talon is warm."

Troy covered Lyle up. "Is he okay?"

"He just coughed and told me he didn't feel well."

"In their bathroom under the sink is a sticky thermometer that you put on their head. It will tell his temperature. I have to go get the luggage and Marley."

...

Gabriella sat on a toy box as she waited for the test strip to finish. She looked at Troy as he came inside.

"Done yet?" He crossed his arms.

She pulled the test strip off Talon's head and looked at it. "It's at 100.1."

Troy sighed. "Damn it. I'll take him to the doctor tomorrow. It's too late to do anything."

"Will he be okay?" Gabriella stood up and ran her fingers through his hair.

"Of course. He just has the flu, like Brie." Troy grabbed her hand. "Just let him sleep."
