I made a really stupid mistake; I accidentally wrote the wrong word in one of the parts...well I have fixed that, but I'm replacing the chapter anyway, LOL.
Thanks for all the reviews!
A/N: Okay I am so dumb! I had been calling Ryan and Gabi's baby Alexandra in the previous chapter…well that's not her name, LOL. Her name is Aimee Rebecca Evans. Alexandra is Kelsi and Jason's daughter's name. Sorry about the confusion and thank you to those of you who pointed it out to me! (Blushes)
Disclaimer: Same as always.
Going Home, Ch. 14
"Congratulations, Sharpay and Troy," Dr. Peters said. "You have a very healthy 7 pound, 7 ounce baby boy," she said.
"A boy," Sharpay said, smiling.
Troy looked at Sharpay, "You did it," he said.
Sharpay just smiled as she watched Troy cut the cord off of his new son. The nurse wrapped him up in a blanket and handed him to Sharpay.
"He's got your eyes," she said as she saw the little boy open his eyes.
Troy smiled, "And your face."
After a moment of silence, Sharpay looked up at Troy, "I think we should probably let them know that he's here."
He nodded, "Good idea." He kissed her head, "I'll be right back." He walked out of the room, a smile plastered on his face and into the waiting room where not only his parents and Sharpay's father (and Lizzie of course) were, but Kelsi, Jason, Gabi, Ryan, Taylor, and Chad were as well. "Ahem," Troy said, clearing his throat.
Troy's mother looked at him, "Well?"
He smiled, "We have a son," he said, still smiling.
"That's wonderful! Congratulations, Troy," Taylor squealed as she hugged her friend. "How's Sharpay doing?"
"She's fine." He looked over at Lizzie who had just woken up.
She ran into his arms, "Is the baby hewe," she asked.
"Yes, you have a baby brother," he said.
Lizzie thought about this for a moment. She had a baby brother. So that meant that it was a boy. She smiled, "Yay! I'm a big sistew!"
Troy smiled in relief and happiness, "Yes you are indeed a big sister. Would you like to meet your brother?"
She nodded, "Yes!"
Troy looked at the rest of the group, "I think you're all allowed to come in…a few at a time anyway," he said looking at his parents and father-in-law.
"Don't worry, we can wait," Chad said. "Congratulations…daddy," he said smiling.
"Thanks," Troy said as he led his family into the room in which Sharpay had been moved to.
She looked up, "Hi there," she said, smiling. She looked at Lizzie, "You have a new baby brother, sweetie."
Troy walked closer to Sharpay so Lizzie could see her baby brother. "He's cute," she said, beaming.
"Do you guys have a name yet," Jack asked.
Troy and Sharpay looked at one another, agreeing to use the name that they had agreed on if the baby was a boy.
"Yes we do," Sharpay said. "We would like to introduce you all to Daniel Jacob Bolton," she said proudly.
David Evans smiled, "That is a wonderful name," he said as he walked over to his daughter and kissed her head. "I'm so happy for you two." He shook Troy's hand, but soon pulled him into a hug.
"What a beautiful name," Mrs. Bolton said as she hugged and kissed her son as well as Sharpay. "Daniel and Elizabeth," she said, putting the two names together. "They go so nicely together," she said, looking at Lizzie. "You are a big sister!"
Lizzie smiled, "I have a baby!"
After a few more minutes of talking, Troy and Sharpay decided to let their friends in to see the baby. As everyone walked into the room, several "Aw's" and "Oh how adorable!" comments filled the room.
"What's his name," Gabi asked.
"Daniel. Daniel Jacob Bolton," Troy said as he gently took the baby from Sharpay's arms.
"He's my baby," Lizzie proclaimed, overjoyed that she was a big sister.
Ryan smiled, "Yes, he is indeed your baby…brother," he added.
"I love the name Daniel," Kelsi said. "It's what I wanted to name our baby had Alexandra ((Kelsi and Jason's daughter!)) been a boy."
Jason nodded, "It was the only boy's name we agreed on." He smiled as he watched Troy and Sharpay with Lizzie and Daniel. "You guys look…great together," he said as he admired the four.
Sharpay just smiled, "I think so too," she said, looking from her children to Troy.
2 Days Later…
Sharpay was released from the hospital 2 days after having Daniel and couldn't wait to take him home. Lizzie couldn't wait either; she had even made sure to dress up for her brother's homecoming.
"Here we go," Troy said as he placed Daniel and his carrier into the car. He then helped Lizzie into her car seat.
Sharpay got into the car and glanced back at her kids and smiled. Lizzie was so excited about having a new sibling; even if it was a brother.
"Mommy he won't smile at me," Lizzie said with a frown. "Does he hate me?"
She shook her head, "No sweetheart; he just hasn't learned how to smile yet. But when he looks at you, I'll be that he's thinking, 'wow, I have the best big sister in the world,'" she said, earning a smile from Troy and an even bigger one from Lizzie.
The drive home was for the most part silent, with the occasional cry from Daniel.
"Here we are," Troy said as he pulled into the driveway.
Lizzie looked over at Daniel, "This is home."
Sharpay took the carrier (with Daniel) out of the car while Troy got Lizzie out. They walked into the house and up the stairs to Daniel's new room. Sharpay walked into the room and set the carrier down and took Daniel out. "How do you like your room," she asked as she held the infant.
"I think he likes it," Troy said as he set everything down. "Look at how he is taking everything in."
Just then, Daniel began to cry. "What's wrong honey," Sharpay asked. "Maybe he's just trying to adjust to his new environment," Troy suggested.
She shook her head, "No, I think he's hungry. She sat down in the rocking chair and sure enough, Daniel was indeed hungry.
1 Month Later…
Lizzie groaned as she put her pillow over her head. Her brother was crying…again. It was 3:00 in the morning (not that she knew how to tell time yet) and she just wanted to sleep. "Make him stop," she said, getting out of bed and walking into the nursery where her mom was. "Mommy he's cwying again," she moaned.
Sharpay looked up, "I know sweetie. I think he just wants to be held," she said as she took Daniel out of his crib and held him close to her. "It's all right," she said softly. Daniel's sobs soon subsided and the month old infant was once again asleep.
"He's loud," Lizzie said as she walked back to her room and went to sleep. This had been going on for a whole month! Even though both Troy and Sharpay had explained that babies can't ask for what they need, she was getting quite annoyed with all of the crying.
The next morning Lizzie woke up and walked down to the kitchen where she saw both of her parents and Daniel already awake. She sat down at the table, "I didn't sleep good last night," she whined.
Troy nodded, "I don't think any of us did," he said as he walked over to her and picked her up. "What's wrong sweetie," he asked when he saw that Lizzie seemed kind of down.
She looked over at Sharpay who was holding the baby, "Mommy is always holding Daniel," she said. "Did she stop loving me?"
Troy just hugged her, "Of course she didn't stop loving you, sweetheart; and neither have I. It's just that babies are a lot of work and they need a lot of attention," he explained.
Sharpay walked over to the two, "Is everything all right?"
"Did you stop loving me," Lizzie asked with tears in her eyes.
Sharpay looked over at Troy and then at Lizzie, "Of course not honey," she said as she put Daniel down and took Lizzie from Troy. "I love you more than anything," she said as she felt her eyes moisten.
"I was just telling her that babies are a lot of work," Troy interjected.
Sharpay nodded, "Daddy's right honey. They are a lot of work; but that doesn't mean that we don't love you," she said as she hugged her.
Lizzie nodded glad that her mom still loved her. She looked over at Daniel who was smiling at her. "Mommy he's happy," she said, pointing to her brother.
Troy and Sharpay turned around and sure enough, Daniel was smiling. "That's his way of saying that he loves you," Troy said.
"Okay," Lizzie said. She smiled back at her brother. "Thewe, now he knows I love him!"
Sharpay chuckled, "Yes, now he knows," she said as she set her down.
I know this is a really short chapter (for me anyway), but I have 2 reasons for this:
1.)There are some really bad thunderstorms in the area and I wanted to post this just in case something happened.
2.)I'm starting to run out of ideas! So please review and if you have any suggestions/ideas, they are definitely welcome! Thanks!
