Troy woke up and turned over to see that Gabriella was still sound asleep next to him. They had been in Hawaii for two a week now and still had another week left. For the week the two enjoyed being married and being with one another. They ventured out to the beach for a couple of hours each day. Gabriella wore her two piece bathing suit that showed off her ever growing baby bump. The two would wade into the water, walk along the beach, and lounge under a large beach umbrella. When they were out long enough, the couple would go back to their hotel to hide themselves inside their hotel room and not come out into they were need of food from the restaurants in or around the hotel.
Troy sat up and reached down and picked up his boxers from the floor and pulled them on. He walked over to the window to look outside. The sun was out and people were already down at the shore playing or relaxing. He smiled as he saw a small family rushing in and out of the water chasing the waves.
"What are you smiling about?" Gabriella asked as she slowly sat up in bed.
"There's a family playing in the water, I was just thinking about doing the one day with the twins." Troy answered before turning back to look at her. "I didn't wake you, did I?"
"No, I was awake before you. The twins were kicking and playing with each other."
"How are you this morning?"
"Perfectly satisfied." Gabriella answered as she stretched. "But I could go for some breakfast though."
"I'll order some room service. What are you in the mood for?"
"Waffles or French toast."
"I'll get waffles and order you French toast and we'll each have half."
"Perfect. I can't wait until we can take the twins to Disney World for the first time. I've never been so I want to experience all the firsts with them."
"You've never been to before?" Troy asked as he sat down next to her.
"No."
"Had I known I would have taken you before for a week or two."
"No it's alright; I want my first trip to be the twins' first one. Have you been?"
"Three or four times."
"Then you can be our tour guide."
"I like that plan."
"So what do you want to do today?"
"I want to go to the beach again and then maybe go to some of the shops around here. I need to find something for my parents."
"Ok, how about me go to the shops first and then relax at the beach afterwards."
"Ok." Gabriella agreed as she kissed him gently.
Later that afternoon, the two finished up their shopping excursion for the day and were changing to go down to the beach. Gabriella put on a loose cover up on over her suit and went to meet Troy at the door to their suite. They walked out and then took the elevator down to the lobby and then out the door to the beach. They found two lounge chairs underneath an umbrella and quickly made themselves comfortable. Gabriella leaned back in her chair and sighed happily.
"What was that for?" Troy asked as he sat next to her in his own chair.
"I just love it here." Gabriella answered smiling.
"Good, I'm glad that it lived up to your expectations."
"Your surprises always are above my expectations."
"I keep setting the bar higher and higher each time it gets harder and harder for me."
"I would love your surprises no matter what."
"That's good to know." Troy said as they smiled at one another. "Ready to go get in the water?"
"I think so."
Troy took her hand and helped her stand back up and together they walked down to the shoreline. Troy led his wife into the water and paused when they were waist deep. Being in the water help keep the weight off Gabriella's back. Her back was often sore for most of the day with her being so petite and carrying twins. Troy was nervous that those combined could put Gabriella and the twins in trouble. Luckily for them, their apartment building had both an indoor pool and an outdoor pool that was located on the roof.
"Your back feeling better?" Troy asked his wife.
"Much." Gabriella agreed smiling at him. "I love being in the water."
"When we get back home we should try and go to one of the pools every day to help ease the tension on your back. I don't like seeing you in pain."
"I may be in pain because f my small frame, but it will be completely worth it once we have them in our arms." Gabriella said as she took his hand in hers. "I promise."
"I know, it's just the first time father and new husband in me."
"I think it's cute that you're so protective of us."
"I'm just worried that I won't be any good."
"You are going to be a fantastic father, you already are. You're making sure that we're safe and comfortable and that makes you a wonderful Dad."
"I love you." Troy whispered before kissing her gently on the lips.
"I love you, too."
One week later, the two landed back in New York. As always, paparazzi were there to greet them. Security blocked them from the couple as they made their way to their car. Troy kept a protective grip on Gabriella as they walked the short distance. Once they were safely in the car, they began the drive back to their apartment. Gabriella had quickly fallen asleep once they were in the car, the flight proving to take much out of her. Troy kept an arm around her shoulder to keep her close to him. With the traffic, they reached their apartment building thirty minutes later. Gabriella woke up and they walked inside and quickly got on the elevator to their suite. Lily had been staying with Lucille and they were going to pick her up the next day after their doctor's appointment.
"So good to be home." Gabriella sighed as they walked into their apartment. "I loved Hawaii, but I love being back."
"Good, I'm glad." Troy replied as he closed the door and locked it. "So, Mrs. Bolton, did you enjoy your honeymoon."
"I did, very much. It was perfect in every way. Did you enjoy it?"
"I enjoyed every moment." Troy answered as he kissed her gently on the lips. "Are you still tired?"
"Tired and hungry. I could go for some Chinese, sweet and sour chicken."
"How about this, you go get into your most comfortable pajamas while I go order some takeout. Sound good?"
"Sounds perfect." Gabriella agreed kissing Troy gently on the lips.
Gabriella went into their bedroom and placed her carryon bag on the dresser. She then walked over to the large walk in closet that they shared. She walked over to Troy's side and pulled one of his dress shirts off the hanger and quickly changed into it. The length of the shirt came to the top of her knee. Once she put her dirty clothes in the hamper, she went out to join Troy.
"Foods on the way." Troy announced in the kitchen as he hung up the phone.
"Good, I'm starving." Gabriella replied as she got up on the barstool at their counter. "When we go to the doctor's tomorrow, do you want to know what the twins will be?"
"Do you want to?"
"Yes, I do. That way we can get the nursery ready, narrow down names, get clothes for them." Gabriella explained. "But if you don't want to know, the doctor can write it down on a piece of paper and give to me."
"I do want to know." Troy answered. "So, tomorrow we will know if we're having two sons, two daughters, or a son and a daughter."
"Yes, we will."
"There is something we do need to do before the twins are here and it is a kind of depressing though."
"What is it?"
"I think we need to make a will, especially when it comes who are going to take the twins if something should happen to us."
"Ok."
"While we're thinking about it, who do you think should take the twins if we ever died?"
"I think your sister." Gabriella answered. "She's responsible and I think she will be the best guardian for them."
"I'll make sure that it's stated that your parents are available to visit whenever they wish." Troy stated.
"Thank you."
"We'll go to the lawyers in a couple of weeks and get everything worked out."
"Ok." Gabriella agreed as she placed her hand on her stomach.
The next morning, Troy and Gabriella got up and began to get ready for the doctor's appointment. Their driver drove them and said he would wait for them once the appointment was over. The couple walked into waiting room and let the receptionist know that they were there. Gabriella sat down in one of the chairs and picked up a motherhood magazine. Troy sat next to her and read the emails on his blackberry before they were called into the office. Gabriella got up onto the table and lounged back so the doctor could begin the ultrasound. Troy stood next to him and gripped her hand gently as Dr. Martin began the ultrasound. All three looked at the screen.
"Both look great, growing and their heartbeats look good." Dr. Martin said. "Would you two like to know what you're having?"
"Yes." Gabriella agreed.
"Alright. Twin A looks to be a boy." Dr. Martin said as she pointed out a certain anatomy to the parents. "And Twin B is your daughter. Congratulations you are having a boy and a girl."
Gabriella looked at the screen with tears in her eyes. They were having a boy and a girl. Troy leaned over and kissed her on the forehead causing her to turn around and look at him. Gabriella leaned up and kissed him gently on the lips.
"I love you." Troy whispered.
"I love you too." Gabriella replied tearfully.
Dr. Martin printed copies of different scans of the twins and gave them to the expectant parents. Troy helped Gabriella get back to her feet and they walked out to the lobby to schedule their next appointment for the following month. Once everything was set up, the Bolton went out to the car. Once they were in the backseat, Troy instantly placed his hand on Gabriella's belly.
"A son and a daughter." he stated happily. "I can't wait."
"When you want something you go on out." Gabriella said giggling.
"You know it."
"Now we have to think of a name for our daughter and Jackson's middle name."
"Any thoughts or suggestions?"
"For Jackson's middle name what do you think of Lucas, after your father?"
"It's perfect. Dad will be so happy." Gabriella said happily. "I do have an idea for a girl name, though. I would like the name Tatiana to be considered, after Nana. I've always loved that name and wanted to have a daughter with that name."
"Of course, I love the name as well."
"It won't be much longer now; it's all become more real now. We have name ideas; we know what we're having."
"September can't come soon enough." Troy answered before kissing his wife gently.
"No, it can't." Gabriella agreed. "But we still have so much to do."
"I hope we have everything ready by the time they babies arrive."
"I hope so, too."
"Who do you want in the delivery room with us?"
"I would like it to be just the two of us, but I may change my mind and want my mother with me." Gabriella explained. "I will probably make up my mind right before we go into the delivery room."
"Ok, but before and once the twins are born, if you feel overwhelmed with everyone being around you, I won't hesitate to kick everyone out, regardless of who they are."
"I hope I don't turn into one of those crazy women who swears that she will cut your sex off for the rest of your life."
"And if you do say that, I'll just let it slide."
"Thank you." Gabriella said.
"For what?"
"For choosing me to spend the rest of your life with and giving me these two beautiful babies."
"Thank you for agreeing to be with me and being the mother of my children. I couldn't ask for a better life partner than you."
