Tiny Little Miracles
Part 4 - Finale
"OH MY GAWD! SHE'S GORGEOUS!" Sharpay screamed when she and the rest of the gang entered the hospital room. "I GET TO HOLD HER FIRST!"
Troy just shook his head in disbelief, laughing at the thought of his friends and their 'helpful' ways. He looked towards his wife who was holding her newborn and cradling her in her arms. Troy smiled as he watched her kiss the forehead of her precious child. Troy had looked into the eyes of his little girl—she was his brown-eyed girl. Troy had immediately started humming the song. He remembered when he first saw Taelor come out. She had looked somewhat like her mother, but she had those amazing blue eyes she had received from her father. But now, looking into the eyes of little Giselle who was only a few hours old, he couldn't help, but smile knowing she'd be just as gorgeous as her mother.
"No fair Sharpay! I was gonna hold Gisele!" Ryan squeaked.
"SUCK IT UP, FAG BOY!" She hissed, before going towards the bed and reaching her hands out to grab Gisele.
Gabriella looked up at them nervously and gulped. Troy immediately noticed and said, "Guys, I don't think she's ready yet. Just give her a few moments with Gisele…"
Gabriella instantly smiled towards Troy before looking down at Gisele again.
"Whateva!" Zeke smiled, "We'll just get a good look at her!" He said, bringing a chair by the bedside. He examined little Gisele and smiled, "Beautiful."
"Daaammmnnn," Chad howled, at the same time as he picked up Trevor, "Hot babe!"
Smack!
"OWW. HOT-TAY. I was just saying! Look Trev, your little sister!"
Trevor blinked as he looked at her and smiled, "Gisele?"
"Yes, sweetie. Gisele," Gabriella said, looking up from Gisele towards her little boy. She reached her hand out and fixed his hair. Trevor smiled as he sat near the bed and hugged his mother and looked down at his baby sister.
Across the room, being held by Kelsi, Taelor began to shift and scream for her mother. Kelsi smiled and obliged as she picked her up and sat her down on the other side of Gabriella. Taelor smiled and joined the hug as she looked down at her new baby sister.
Gisele was a small little thing. She had been a pre-mature baby and she was going to need some time to grow out in the nursery, but the doctors were positive that she was going to make it through, and nothing else could overjoy Gabriella more than that.
Chad bit a hotdog as he said, "Man, hospital food is so yucky! They're not kidding, yo! WHOAA. ARE YOU BREAST-FEEDING??? THAT'S IT—I'M OUTTA THE ROOM!"
As Chad ran out of the room, he stuffed the remaining bit of hot dog into his mouth.
"CHAD!" Taylor said, following swiftly behind.
Troy chuckled. Would Chad ever learn?
Gabriella let her head slid back into the soft crevasse of her pillow and closed her eyes. She remembered that glorious day when she first held Taelor and Trevor.
Flashback.
Gabriella cried out deliriously, "I WANNA SEE MY BABIES!"
She was still getting over the anesthesia they had given her to shut up, and her blood was racing a mile a minute.
"Calm down, Gabi. As soon as they get out of the incubators you can see them.
"INCUBATORS! WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM?!"
"Nothing! They are perfectly healthy. Listen Gabi, you've got to calm down. They won't bring them out until you're settled and well rested. Just take a nap for a second. When you wake up, I promise they'll be in your arms."
"Sure?"
"I promise…"
"Troy, you're not one for promises."
"I married you…that was a promise, right?"
"Shut up." She groaned as she flipped over and drifted to sleep.
---
Troy had kept his promise. When Gabriella woke up, two infants no bigger than two hands were laying peacefully in her lap. Tears flooded her sweaty face.
"I love you Trevor and Taelor. Mommy loves you…"
End of Flashback
----------
Gabriella and Troy had done everything; painted the baby's nursery, supplied it with clothes, food, milk, and toys. Now they were finally ready. Today was the long awaited day when they would take Gisele home.
Gabriella waited in the house, while Troy drove to Guardian Angel EMT, the hospital where Gisele was staying for pre-me care.
Gabriella began typing away on her iBook. She wrote GISELE into the Google search bar, and before she could take a breath, 480,000 pictures of a half naked model spiraled onto the screen.
"Gisele…Bundchen…" Gabriella laughed a little. If Troy had known that Gisele was a Vicky Secret models' name, he would have NEVER named her that.
"MOMMY!" Taelor waddled into the room as Gabriella exited Google and turned off the laptop.
"Yes, sweetie?"
"When do we get to see Gisele?" Taelor asked precociously before running towards her mom and begging to be picked up and placed on her lap.
Gabriella smiled and picked up Taelor before kissing her forehead and saying, "You'll see Gisele today. We can go to the hospital and we'll pick up little Gisele," She said, glancing towards the hallway before standing up and holding Taelor in her arms as she went into Gisele's room.
Taelor smiled as she saw all the decorations, "Look mommy! Gizzy is gonna like that!"
Gabriella looked down at her daughter smiling, saying questioningly, "Gizzy?"
"My nickname!" Taelor stated, smiling with her rosy-cheeks full of dimples.
"Oh really?" Gabriella smiled.
"Uh-Huh! Just like Twevor is Twev!" She said, with a bit of a lisp. "Gisele is gonna be Gizzy!"
Gabriella heard a faint sound of the doorbell ringing; she immediately heard Trevor screaming excitedly downstairs amongst the sound of the television. Gabriella smiled as she realized it must be Troy. She quickly came downstairs and put Taelor down in the play pen with Trevor. Troy came in through the doors, with the gang trailing behind.
Gabriella's mouth dropped open a bit as she saw Sharpay, Ryan, Chad, Taylor, and the whole gang piled into the doorway, followed by bickering between Ryan and Sharpay.
"For the last time, Ry, you can't pick up random homeless guys from the streets and then have passionate love-making with them in bed!" Sharpay shrieked at him before turning around to face a puzzled Gabriella, "Oh hi Gabriella. Your kid's home."
Gabriella just blinked, shooting Troy a confused look. Troy seemed to be too preoccupied with holding Gisele to really notice that a whole pack of their loveable, but very annoying and loud and obnoxious friends had just piled into the living room uninvited. But hey, it was just like high school. Except usually they would come uninvited into the Evan's mansion and chill out there and have cocktail weenies from Ryan and Sharpay's butler, but usually, Sharpay would have a fit screaming at Ryan for allowing the security to let them through.
Taelor and Trevor's curious eyes immediately flew up to their father as Troy came in and handed Gisele to Gabriella. Gabriella's eyes welled up with tears as she held her baby; it was her child made out of her and Troy's flesh and it felt unbelievable to hold this gentle creature in her hands. She could hear the gang whispering in the backround, but all she seemed to care about was looking at Gisele right then and there, eye to eye.
Chad whispered to Taylor, "It's like she's in a trance!"
Taylor narrowed her eyes at Chad. "Are you saying I'm FAT?"
Chad blinked. "What the HELL woman!?"
Troy went to the play pen and picked up Taelor and Trevor, "Let's show Gisele her new room!"
Sharpay clapped excitedly, "Oh, yes! I brought some decorations!" She squealed reaching into her Louis Vuitton and taking out some pink posters.
Ryan smiled widely piping in, "Me too! Look!" Ryan took out his Coach purse and pulled out pictures that looked like a baby with piercings all over, "Gangsta baby!"
Both Troy and Gabriella looked up and exchanged knowing looks. What the hell WAS Ryan smoking now?
"Oh, and I think I have some with emo baby with cuts and bruises and slit wrists—"
"Ryan," Gabriella interrpted, trying to remain as calm as she could, "Thanks, but…no thanks."
Chad piped in, "I have pictures of porn models if that helps!" Chad winked at Troy, but Troy just looked at him in disgust.
"How bout you try to put that up and see for how long you're knocked out after Taylor beats you up," Troy muttered to him before turning towards the stairs and walking towards them, while the gang talked and followed him.
"Daddy, what's porn?" Trevor asked him innocently enough; Troy chose to ignore that question.
Gabriella made her way towards little Gisele's future room, cradling her in her hands. She whispered down at her, "Here's your room Gisele…"
Gisele looked around with her large brown bug-eyes and immediately began to start crying. Trevor and Taelor looked around curiously as they heard their new little sister cry. Troy put down the kids and walked towards Gisele attempting to calm her down.
"Shh, shh, hush little baby…mommy's here," Gabriella whispered to Gisele. Troy walked over towards her and wrapped an arm around Gabriella and leaned down to kiss Gisele's small little forehead before starting to hum a lullabye
Kelsi smiled, putting a hand to her heart, admiring the scene; she noticed Taelor and Trevor looking at their parents curiously and she immediately picked them up, letting them see Gisele.
Taelor grinned and reached her arm out to feel Gisele's face. Gabriella chucked a bit and softly moved Taelor's hand away from Gisele's eyes and instead, placed it near her cheek. Taelor smiled and exclaimed, "Giswelle's soft!"
Trevor leaned his head forward and got an up close look at his little sister, he smiled as they locked eyes, "I'ma bwig bwotha!"
Troy laughed at his son, taking him from Kelsi's arms and holding him up on his hip, "Yes, you are Trev, yes you are."
Gabriella faintly smiled as Gisele looked around from Gabriella to Troy then to Taelor and Trevor and giggled a bit when Trevor poked her stomach. This was definitely a good start to a family. And of course, they'd always have their extended family of a bunch of aunts and uncles…
"Oh my gosh," Taylor cried out, coming over to them and looking down at Gisele, "This is such a beautiful moment!"
Sharpay grabbed a tissue-box and took out a tissue for herself and blew her nose loudly, causing everyone to glance at her even Gisele who blinked at her twice before making this adorable little baby gurgling sound (Gabriella was convinced it was a little laugh made from the angel).
"They're just a load of tiny little miracles!" Sharpay squeaked before blowing her nose loudly again, "Here Troy," She sniffed handing him the mucus-filled dirty tissue. Troy stared at it as if it was radioactive poison that would cripple him to death.
"Evans, am I even supposed to touch that thing?"
Sharpay glared at him, "Don't you know how to be a gentleman, Bolton?"
Troy smirked, "I would be, but as far as I'm concerned you're not a lady…"
Smack!
Gisele made that cute gurgling noise again while Troy bellowed in pain. Taelor laughed and looked up to poke her daddy's nose. Troy smiled down at Taelor and covered her forehead with kisses. Chad stepped up and put his hand on Taylor's stomach.
"See, we're gonna have one of those things soon," Chad winked at her; Taylor looked at him in surprise, with tears forming in her eyes.
"This is the first time you—you did—that hand on my—stomach—that…"
Chad smirked, "Hey, I can be sensitive when I want to be."
"Are you saying I'm fat?"
Ryan grabbed the tissue and quickly threw it out before clapping his hands, "Everyone, group picture time!"
Gabriella looked up at him in confusion and then understood when she saw the camera in his hands, "No, Ryan. I don't want any flashing lights near Gisele—what if she's not used to bright lights or something?"
"It won't be a flash, I swear on my Hilary Duff and Lindsay Lohan CD collection and poster of Justin Timberlake," Ryan stated informingly.
"Is it the one wid the bware chest?" Trevor asked.
Ryan just winked, "That's the one! Smile!" And before anyone could look up Ryan took a picture of the whole gang surrounded by Gisele's crib, with Trevor in Troy's left arm and Taelor holding onto both her parent's hands, and of course, the gang was surrounded by them in weird poses (one of which contained Chad picking his nose).
Flash!
"RYAN!"
Ryan gulped, "AHHHH!" He screamed girlishly before running for his life out of the room.
One thing Troy and Gabriella learned that day.
Things in their life will never be normal.
But that's what made it so special.
