Finals week was stress filled for any college student. It was even more stressful when it the very last finals. Gabriella Montez knew this first hand. She always stressed out about finals, but this year it was completely different.
This would be her last year before she went into her residency. If she did well she was guaranteed a place at New York's famous children's hospital. She was working so hard to get her name on the list.
She had note cards taped all over her walls, mirror, and car. She wanted to be able to study while getting ready in the morning, and while she made dinner at night. It was a trick she had perfected by the time she had finished Pre-med school.
If she made it into her residence of choice then she knew she was on her way to opening her own family practice. It was her goal, second to having a family of her own. The second seemed impossible for so long, but now it was not only a possibility it was a fact.
Gabriella Montez was pregnant. She placed her hand comfortably on her bulging stomach. She rubbed it fondly. She thought of the baby growing inside of her. She could hardly wait the month for the baby to born.
Sighing she turned back to her studies. She knew she needed to concentrate but it was so hard. She had been studying for so long she was exhausted. She needed a break but she refused to take one.
As though her body was against her hard study habits, she felt something warm and wet run down her leg onto the seat of her chair. She gasped at first that the unclean sensation she felt before she realize exactly what it was.
She grabbed her cell; she opened it up and held down the green button. Her phone called the last number it had received. She waited patiently as the phone rang three times. Before the gruff voice on the other end could say anything she spoke, "Troy, my water broke."
--
Troy's hands shook as he put away his cell phone. He looked at the rest of the Nick's team. He was not the start of the team, he didn't even play regularly, but it was only his second year with the team. He was proud of himself however. He loved playing and the fact that he was on a professional team was even better.
The coach looked at him knowingly. Troy was lucky that the season was over and they were just having a meeting about what was planned for next year. The brunette was able to duck out of the meeting without any problems.
He hurried to his car. He called up Gabriella's doctor to let her know that they were coming into the hospital. Then he concentrated on getting over to Gabby's without causing an accident. He took the stairs two at a time as he hurried up the stairs to her apartment. He was panting just outside of her door five minutes later.
"You didn't take the stairs did you?" Gabriella smiled opening the door before Troy knocked on it. She held a pre-packed bag in her hand. She looked a calm and happy as ever.
Troy could not understand the girl sometimes. "I didn't want to wait for the elevator."
"Troy I'm on the sixteenth floor, it is not fast to run up the stairs." Gabriella locked the door to her apartment. Troy grabbed her bag and led her to the elevator. She smiled at him. "Relax okay."
"How can I relax? The baby is coming a month early!" Troy exclaimed. He repeatedly pressed the down button on the elevator.
"Calm down Troy." She grabbed his hand holding it firmly. "Babies are not science. They do what they want."
Troy nodded a little confused. He was never the best at science. He past all of his core science class in college but that's all he needed or wanted to take. He forced himself to calm down. Gabby was counting on him to get them to the hospital. It was not easy to calm down but he managed it with the help of Gabby's soft strokes to the inside of his hand.
"Did you call Ryan?" Gabby asked when he entered the cab of his car. He looked at her in confusion. She frowned at him. "Troy don't you think he would want to know that his child is about to be born?"
"I-I guess I never thought about it," Troy flushed. He looked down at his phone. It was tossed in the cup holder. "I will when we get to the hospital."
Gabby nodded. "That's all I ask." She laid her head back. She pressed a hand to her stomach and took deep breaths. Troy kept his eyes on the road for the most part but reached over to take her hand. He helped her through the contraction.
--
Sharpay paced the in front of the wait station in the Hospital. She hard arrived over ten minutes ago. She already spoke to Gabriella's doctor and he assured her that a private room was set up for Gabriella.
Now Sharpay was in the middle of trending a hole in the floor. If she was a nail bitter she would have raw fingers by now. "Where the hell are they?" She swore. She had left rehearsals as soon as Gabriella called her. She was already in a cab before their conversation had ended. She knew Troy was picking Gabriella up but it looked like he was doing a crappy job.
"Shar!" Troy's voice rang down the hall. He waved at her as he helped Gabby into a wheelchair. Then he pushed the brunette over to the blond.
"Troy you jerk, what the hell took you so long," Sharpay slapped him on the shoulder. Troy yelped and grabbed his shoulder. He looked at her in surprise, as though he did not aspect her to be so strong. "Gabby are you okay?"
"Troy ran up the stairs. But I'm fine, Shar," Gabby promised. She clenched her teeth in her next contradiction. They were still pretty minor and she was able to get through it in a few minutes. She smiled when she pulled though it. Sharpay stroked a hand threw her hair; she promised that it would be alright. "I'm fine, but I think I should get into a bed."
"Okay, right," Sharpay smiled before snapping her fingers at an intern. "Can't you see she's in labor?!" She snapped. The poor intern nodded and hurried to find out who was taking care of Gabby. "Oh where did Troy go?"
"I think he went to call Ryan," Gabby smiled fondly at the brown-eyed girl. Sharpay looked surprised. "He panicked."
Sharpay rolled her eyes but said nothing to Troy when he returned. The three were then greeted with Gabby's doctor. "How are you doing, Gabby?"
"Good, my contractions are about five minutes apart, and they're lasting about forty-five seconds," Gabby explained. She smiled lightly at the expressions of her companions.
"At least someone listened in birthing class," the doctor said. She smiled at Gabby, "Let's get you into your room and take a look at you."
Dr. Diamond had one of the nurses lead the three into Gabby's room. The nurse instructed Gabby to put on the hospital apron before leaving the room. Gabby stripped down in front of the other two putting on her gown. After so many doctor appointments concerning the baby she stopped being embarrassed about silly things like nudity.
Troy then helped her up onto the bed. She scrunched up her nose in discomfort as another contraction hit her. Troy held onto her hand, and Sharpay moved around to mop her brow.
After she recovered from the pain she looked over at Troy. "What did Ryan say? Is he coming?"
"Yeah. He's in California you know, but he said he's taking the first flight he can get. He'll probably be here in the morning if not before that," Troy promised. He watched as Sharpay moved Gabby's hair back. "He's really upset about missing this."
"He's not missing anything," Gabby promised. She smiled at Troy for a few moments before asking. "Can you call my parents? You should call yours too."
"Sure," Troy grabbed his cell phone and went to the leave the room. He knew that Gabby want her parents to know what was going on, but he also knew that she wanted time alone with Sharpay.
"Call my parents too Bolton," Sharpay called after him. She was sure that Ryan had the foresight to call them but she might be mistaken.
Troy waved the phone at them and headed into the hallway to make the phone calls.
--
"Ahh-Agh!" Gabriella cried out as she pushed down hard on the contraction. The doctor was standing between her legs. She had been working hard for nearly ten hours to get the baby out of her but it had yet to come out.
She collapsed back in the pillows a minute later gasping. Sharpay wiped her brow and Troy flexed his abused hand. "Oh god, I think it's stuck." Gabby moaned. Sharpay smiled lightly at Gabby and Dr. Diamond laughed lightly.
"It's stuck? Is that possible," Troy asked. He moved to take a peak between Gabby's legs. He could not tell if the baby was stuck or not, but he could tell that the sight of her tubes clenching and unclenching from the stress of her body was gross. He made a horrified face and returned to the part of Gabby he could appreciate. The three women laughed even more.
"Don't you worry sweetie. The baby will come in time. You're still not full dilated. Once you are we'll start pushing and the baby should be out in no time," Dr. Diamond stood back. She rubbed Gabby's knee gently. "Maybe if you're lucky, this kid's Dad will arrive just in time to see him delivered."
"Oh do you think that's possible?" Sharpay asked a little excited.
"Unless Ryan's here in five minutes, I hope that is not possible," Gabby groaned. She wished that Sharpay could understand her point of view. A few hours ago she might have felt excited about Ryan being their when the baby was born, but right now she just wanted the baby out of her.
"Sorry, honey," Sharpay gave her a short kiss on the cheek. "Hey do you want me to do a round of calls and see where everyone is?"
"No!" Gabby looked horrified. She grabbed Sharpay's well manicured hand, "I want you here with me."
"Troy, go do that," Sharpay shooed the jock. She squeezed Gabby's hand silently promising not to leave.
Gabby grabbed Troy before he could leave. She did not want the only source of testosterone to leave the room. Troy stroked her forehead gently. "Don't worry beautiful I'm not going anywhere."
The brunette's smile was cut off, as another round of contractions started. She pushed through them. She knew she was unable to get the baby out yet, but it was hard not to push, a little.
--
Ryan was a very calm person. He took pressure very well. In fact it was easier for him to worry about booking a flight, and getting his luggage then it was for him to sit on a plane for six hours on the way to New York.
He had been in the middle of lunch when he got Troy's call. He had to call the studio he was working with. He got a small part in a sitcom, and although his part had already been filmed, he was supposed to stay on set until the rest of the show was taped. But, he got the okay and was at LAX within an hour.
It was not difficult for him to find a flight as there were many traveling to and from New York City. He called his parents as he waited to board and told them what was going on. They said that they would be in New York by the morning to see their first grandchild.
Now he was in standing in front of the hospital he knew Gabby, Troy, and Sharpay were in. He knew the moment he walked into the hospital his life would be incredibly different. He would be a father, and while it was so scary he was unable to hide his grin.
He hurried inside and was shown to Gabby's room. He entered quickly so as not to disturb anyone if they were resting. What he saw frightened him so much. Gabby was roaring in sheer pain. Sharpay was whispering soft things in her ear and holding a focal point for Gabby to look at, and Troy was lending both his hands to the soon-to-be mother. The thing that frightened him the most was the crown of yellow locks pressing through Gabby's thighs.
He dropped his things to the floor immediately. He hurried over to Troy's side of the bed. He took Gabby's free hand and squeezed it tightly. He wanted to let her know that he was there. The three friends looked up when Ryan grabbed Gabby's hand. They all smiled briefly at him before Dr. Diamond instructed Gabby to push hard one last time.
The baby wailed loudly as it met the world for the first time. It screamed and screamed, as it was passed to the nurse who would clean the baby up before bringing it back to Gabby.
Dr. Diamond stuck around to make sure that Gabby was alright after all she had one of the longs births that she had even witnessed.
Sharpay wiped the sweat off of Gabby's brow and kissed her nose. "You did it girl." Gabby sighed in relief a moment later she was in tears. Sharpay shushed her, pulling her into a hug.
Troy grabbed his hand back before it became part of Gabby's hug. He turned to Ryan a big grin on his face. "I'm glad you could make it." Ryan grabbed Troy and pulled the brunette to him. He hugged the boy hard. "Shh Ry, its okay."
The two couples were pulled apart when Dr. Diamond cleared her throat. "Would you like to see your baby?"
Gabby nodded wiping her noise with the hankie that Sharpay gave her. She held out her arms for the baby.
"It's a little girl, she's 6 pounds 3 oz. and she was born at eleven-thirty, on May 17th," The doctor announced. She put the little girl into her mother's arm. She was already wrapped up in a pink blanket, and her eyes were closed. She was resting, being born was almost as hard as giving birth.
Dr. Diamond and all but one nurse left the room. The one nurse went about getting clean sheets ready for Gabby and the cradle ready for the baby. She remained silent as the four adults looked over the baby girl.
Gabby pulled the sheet back a little revealing the baby's blonde hand and tiny hands. Her face was still red from being born, but other then that she was adorable. All four adults sighed when they saw her.
"I can't believe this," Troy gaped. He had to sit down in the chair beside the bed. Ryan leaned into him putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Did we ever agree on a name?" Sharpay asked. She moved to sit a bit on the bed with Gabriella and the baby.
"No," Ryan shook his head in reply. He looked at the baby, his baby in awe. "Does it matter?"
"We have to have a name for her," Gabby giggled at Ryan. He shrugged a little; he did not think it was that big of an issue.
"Just please do not name her after a dog," Sharpay said with a soft smile.
Gabby giggled some more and leaned in to kiss Sharpay on the mouth, "Baby I love your name."
"I know, but trust me it's hard to be a star with a name like this." Sharpay explained. Although truth be told now that she was getting regular roles on Broadway her name was memorable and it was one of her pluses.
Gabby made a face, "She might not want to be a star. She might just want to be a normal girl."
"I like Halley," Ryan said before the girls could start bickering.
Sharpay looked up from her spot on the bed, "Halley? I like that name. It suits her." She looked down at Gabby hoping that she approved.
"Halley is perfect." Gabby sighed. She looked at Troy, who smiled his approval as well.
"How about her middle name be after her mothers?" Troy suggested.
"What Shariella?" Sharpay said sharply. She did not like the idea.
"No, I was thinking more like Halley Sharpay Grabriella," Troy suggested.
"I don't know," Gabriella said softly. She looked at her sleeping baby. "We're going to do this again right? What if we have another baby girl? Would she be upset that she did not get to have her mother's name?"
"We'll give her Troy's name," Ryan joked a little, "How about just one. I mean we are the adults. If something happens and we get all boys after this we wouldn't get jealous will we?"
The group shook their heads. "Okay it's settled. Halley Sharpay Montez-Evans," Gabriella said. She looked up at Sharpay, "I had her, so now you should have something with her too."
"Okay," Sharpay kissed Gabriella on the top of her head.
The nurse cleared her throat. "It's time that the baby and her mother got some rest." She said. The group stepped back allowing the nurse to take the baby and put her in the cradle. She then changed Gabby's sheets. "Only one of you can stay the night," She nodded to the other bed in the room. "Everyone is allowed back in the morning as long as it's after seven."
"Okay," Troy promised that they would leave in a few minutes. He looked between the twins hoping they would not fight over who was going to stay. Sharpay was Gabriella's partner and Ryan was the baby's father so it was a hard decision.
"I'm going to go back with Troy," Ryan announced. He went to pick up his bags, "I came straight here from the airport." He smiled. "We'll see you in the morning."
There were lots of hugs and kisses all around before Troy and Ryan left the girls alone. Troy held Ryan's hand until they got back to his and Troy's apartment. They took a set of showers before curling up in bed together. They were both to in awe about their day to do anything physical.
Sharpay stayed in Gabriella's bed until the baby cried for the first time. The nurse came in to help Gabriella feed the baby for the first time. After that Sharpay stayed in the bed assigned to her. But every time the baby cried that night she was up making sure that the nurses came in to bring the baby over to Gabriella.
--
A few days later Troy and Ryan were going over to Gabby and Sharpay's. Halley and her mother had been home for a few days, and yesterday Gabby had even managed to take all of her finals even the two she missed when she was in the hospital. Both Mrs. Evans, and Mrs. Montez were taking turns with the girls to help with the baby. Mrs. Bolton and the grandfathers were still in town but they did not spend the night. It would be too crowded in the New York apartment for everyone.
When they arrived their parents were already there as well as Gabriella's. Gabby was taking a nap in her room, and Sharpay had a practice to hurry to. She was giving Halley a million kisses, already in love with the blonde, before she had to go.
"Do you think her eyes will stay blue?" Troy asked after receiving the little girl from Sharpay.
"Oh god I hope so," Sharpay put on an extra shade of lipstick before grabbing her purse. "I'll be back after lunch I swear." Then she was gone.
"Poor thing, she's been helping Gabby all night and still she's managed to keep up with her rehearsals." Mrs. Bolton said.
"It's because there are always at least five us in here in the day." Ryan joked. He sat down on the living room couch with his father and Mr. Bolton.
Troy sat down in the arm chair rocking the baby that was drifting back to sleep. "I think her eyes will stay blue honey." Mrs. Evans finally answered Troy's question. The brunette smiled.
"I hope so. How else will we get a baby with blue eyes," Troy winked at his lover.
"Sharpay could have a recessive genre, and we know that Gabriella does, so if you do then, well you don't have to rely on my genes." Ryan replied his father shifted uncomfortably beside him. He looked over at him curiously.
"Sorry, I just don't understand what you guys are doing." Mr. Evans explained. There were several nods from the other grandparents in the room.
Troy sighed softly at the somewhat narrowed minds of his parents. All of their parents had been rather supportive when the four of them had come out. Troy had been dating Ryan since their senior musical, and Gabby and Sharpay got together over the summer. They had made it work in college even when they were separated by distance and time.
They all eventually ended up in New York. Troy played ball their for three of the four years he was in school. Sharpay went to Juilliard for acting and singing and Ryan went to NYU with Troy but also for acting and singing. Gabby was the hardest but eventually she settled at a medical school in New York after four years at Princeton for Pre-Med.
A year after that, the four of them had joint marriage ceremonies. They were going to separate them, as the twins did not want to do everything together, but Ryan got an audition in California for a small role in a movie. Troy and Ryan pushed their date near the girls and Sharpay caved allowing them to join their ceremony. They never got the real reason as to why she did something so nice.
After two years of marriage bliss Gabby had an idea that pleased all four of them. "Just because we're gay doesn't mean we don't want to have families." Troy began, explaining once again what was going on.
"We thought about adopting, and then there was the thought of using a surrogate, and then well the idea just hit us, well Gabby," Ryan continued for his boyfriend. "Sharpay's my twin, and Gabby liked the idea of her baby, our baby having a bit of her and Sharpay in her."
"We wanted a baby too of course, so when Gabby asked us if Ryan was interested in lending his sperm, we agreed, but under the condition that the baby was raised with the idea that she had two moms and two dads instead of two moms and two uncles." Troy stepped in for his boyfriend.
"Lots of children have two sets of parents, some only have one parent. It's not that weird to think of the baby have two sets of parents. The only difference is that her mommies live together and her daddies live together." Ryan finished.
The grandparents all exchanged silent looks. They were not upset about the idea of being grandparents. But it was a little strange. First of all the Boltons were not sure if they should really consider Halley their grandchild, second it was just strange to hear that their gay children had created a baby with each other.
"Wouldn't that mess the girl up?" Mr. Bolton said very bluntly.
"Dad, no. No it wouldn't. Look gay people have been raising kids publicly since the 80's and for even longer without anyone really knowing that Dad and 'Uncle' were lovers. They turn out just the same as if they were raised by straight parents. All kids need is stability, love, and support." Troy explained to his father as clearly as he could.
"Oh, is that all they need?" Mrs. Bolton raised an eyebrow. "I wish I would have known that with you. I wouldn't have spent so much money on basketball camps."
The group laughed all around. It lightened the air. "We know this is hard for you to get used to. And it will be hard for us too, but we really want to make this work. I'm sure it will only take a few weeks of seeing this in action before you understand."
"We understand honey," Mrs. Evans rubbed her son's back, "You just want to be a Daddy and I think that's okay." There were murmurs all around the room of agreement and words of congratulations and luck.
"Good, because we plan to try this again," Gabby said softly as she came out of her room. She sat on the arm of Troy's chair looking pretty run down, but happy. "In two years when I'm done with my residence we want Sharpay and Troy to try and have another baby for us."
"Well it's only fair," Mrs. Montez agreed the group also agreed although some were a little surprised. "Any other plans."
"Kinda. We were hoping to at least get four kids; you know one for each of us. Obviously were not going to try something with Sharpay and me, but maybe after Troy and Sharpay, Troy and Gabriella can try?" Ryan explained to his parents. "We're not sure about the last one but something will come to us."
Troy smiled at Ryan, at first he thought Ryan would be jealous because he only got to have one child that was from his own seed, but now, especially after Halley was born he knew that could not be true. He felt that Halley was from his own seed, she was his daughter just as much as she was Gabby's nothing could change that. He knew Ryan felt the same way, and so did Gabby and Sharpay.
"So you're going to trade weeks with each other or something?" Mr. Bolten asked still curious especially when he realized that his son was actually going to give him blood grandchildren.
"Well we have not discussed that in length. We are going to talk to a specialist about what the best thing to do is. Right now Ry and I are just fine with letting Halley spend her nights here. She needs her mom, and I like to sleep." Troy joked.
Gabriella ruffled his hair. "Whatever we do it will be consistent so that it makes a stable environment. She will always go to the same school and the same daycare; she just might spend some weeks with her Daddies and some with her Mommies."
"Of course with four of us, having a babysitter wouldn't be too often." Ryan said. "But, no matter what she will know that we love her, and that we all love each other."
"That's right." Troy smiled at his lover looking down at the daughter in his arms. He could not wait until she could run, talk, and play with him. He could not wait for her to look him in the eyes and tell him that she loved him. What's more he knew that Ryan, and her mommies felt the same way.
