Rachel fell back against the bed and tried to regain her breath. Troy kissed her lips.

"It's a girl!" Troy said smiling.

"Can I see her?" Rachel asked tiredly.

Vanessa wrapped the baby girl in a blanket and put the baby on Rachel's chest. Rachel looked at her daughter and released her tears.

"She's beautiful" Rachel said looking at her daughter.

"I love you so much babe" Troy said kissing Rachel's head.

"I love you too" Rachel said looking at Troy.

"What's her name?" Vanessa asked observing the couple.

"Natalie Rose Efron" Rachel said smiling at the infant.

"Efron?" Troy asked shocked.

"Yes, she is your daughter" Rachel said looking at Natalie.

"But-" Troy started.

"No buts Troy. If it weren't for you helping me through the past couple of months, I wouldn't be here holding our baby" Rachel said.

Troy looked at Rachel and smiled. He then looked at their daughter. Troy made her. They made her.

"Do you want to hold her?" Rachel asked.

Troy nodded. Rachel put Natalie in her father's arms. Troy looked down at his daughter and couldn't help but shed a tear.

"She's ours" Troy said looking at Rachel.

"I love you" Rachel said.

"I love you too" Troy said.

"Well grandma wants to hold her granddaughter too" Vanessa said smiling.

Rachel and Troy smiled at Vanessa. Troy brought Natalie to his mother.

"If it weren't for you, we would have lost our minds through all of this, mom. Thank you and I love you" Troy said.

"I have always told you, if you need me, you know where to find me. I love you too" Vanessa said as she looked at her granddaughter in her arms.

"Should I call your mom, babe?" Troy asked.

"Yeah, call her. Tell her we couldn't get to the hospital" Rachel said.

"Okay" Troy said leaving the room.

"Are you happy it's over?" Vanessa asked.

"Yeah, I am happy she is finally here. I can't thank you enough for being here, Vanessa. It means a lot to Troy and I" Rachel said.

Troy came back into the room a few minutes later.

"She is on her way. She got a little freaked out that we didn't make it to the hospital" Troy said.

"I will explain it to her" Rachel said as Vanessa put Natalie back into Rachel's arms.

The doorbell rang and Troy walked downstairs to answer it.

"So explain to me what happened?" Emily asked her daughter's boyfriend.

Troy let Emily inside.

"We were snowed in and couldn't get to the hospital. So we went upstairs and Rachel had the baby there" Troy explained.

"How is she?" Emily asked.

"She's fine. Tired, but she is doing great" Troy said smiling.

"How are you, daddy?" Emily asked.

"Oh, I am a little stunned but I am doing alright" Troy said.

"Is she still upstairs?" Emily asked her daughter's boyfriend.

"Yeah, you can go upstairs" Troy said.

Emily and Troy went upstairs and entered the master bedroom. Rachel was holding Natalie in her arms.

"She is beautiful, Rachel" Emily told her daughter.

"Thanks mom" Rachel said.

"So explain to me what happened?" Emily asked her daughter.

"Well, Troy and I were talking, I told him I was tired and that I was going to go upstairs to go to bed. I was about to get into bed when I felt excruciating pain and then my water broke. I knew that we weren't going to be able to make it to the hospital because of the snow and the fact that I was in so much pain. So Troy called Vanessa and she ran over here. By that time, I was almost ready to push. So we waited for about an hour and Vanessa checked me again and saw that I was ready. I pushed her out and here we are" Rachel said explaining to her mother.

"Wow, were you scared?" Emily asked her daughter.

"Petrified. Troy reassured me that he was there and his mother. So that's what gave me the strength" Rachel said.

Emily looked at Troy and smiled. She stood up and walked over to Troy and hugged him.

"Thank you, Troy" Emily said.

"For what?" Troy asked confused.

"You stood by Rachel. Even though you were scared at the beginning of becoming a father at twenty one, that didn't stop you from doing and acting how you normally do. You didn't leave Rachel while she was dealing with this. You gave me a beautiful granddaughter on top of all that" Emily said.

"Thank you, Emily. I wouldn't have left her even if she got pregnant with someone else's baby. I love Rachel more than anything in the world. At the beginning, I was scared about how this was going to work, but I knew that I just needed to stand by her and support what she wanted to do" Troy said.

Emily smiled. She looked at Rachel and kissed her head.

"You need to get some rest" Emily told her daughter.

Rachel nodded.

"I am going to walk your mom out. I will be right back" Troy said.

"Okay" Rachel said.

Troy and Emily walked downstairs. Troy opened the door for his girlfriend's mother.

"Thank you for calling me, Troy" Emily said.

"No problem" Troy said.

Emily walked to her car and got in. She drove away and Troy went back into the house. Troy walked upstairs and saw Rachel looking at Natalie.

"Hey you are supposed to be resting" Troy said.

I know, but it's crazy that she is actually here" Rachel said.

Troy walked to the bed and sat next to Rachel.

"She looks like you" Rachel said looking at their daughter.

"No, she looks more like her mommy. Babe, you should relax. Take a nap. You just had a baby" Troy said taking Natalie out of her arms.

"Okay" Rachel said snuggling under the covers.

Troy put Natalie into her crib. He was about to walk out when he heard Rachel.

"Troy?" Rachel called.

Troy turned around.

"I love you and thank you" Rachel said.

Troy smiled.

"I love you too, Rachel. For what?" Troy asked.

"For keeping your promise. I couldn't have done this without you" Rachel said.

Troy walked back to the bed. He kissed Rachel's lips softly.

"I will stand by you when you are happy, sad, petrified, sick, healthy, and if anything comes by us that is unplanned. I love you both forever and always" Troy said kissing Rachel's lips.
