Chapter 14

Gabriella who was now 9 months pregnant walked down the street with Peter who was now 3 and with Haley and Hudson who were now 7. It was mid July and Troy was at work while Gabriella was taking care of the kids since she was spending less time at the diner due to the fact that she was due any day now.

"Mommy it's too hot I want to go home now," Haley complained.

"We are going home," Gabriella pointed out to Haley who contained to sulk as they walked.

"I think Haley needs a nap mommy," Peter said and Gabriella grinned at him.

"I think you are right," Gabriella agreed.

"I am not a baby," Haley exclaimed.

"Then why are you acting like a baby," Hudson quipped.

"Cause she is cranky right mommy," Peter asked.

"Yes she is," Gabriella answered as she grabbed hold of Peter's hand and Haley's.

"Haley hold Hudson's hand while we cross the street," Gabriella told her. They crossed the street and got home without any more arguing. As soon as they got home Haley rushed in past Troy who was waiting for them in the doorway.

"Well hello to you," Troy said as he watched Haley rush past. Hudson followed a little slower but Peter went right up to his father. Troy bent down and picked him up and watched as Gabriella slowly made her way up the stairs and over to the porch swing to sit. He put Peter down and motioned for him to go inside. Once he was in Troy walked over to Gabriella and sat down next to her. She leaned over placing her head on his shoulder. He wrapped his arm around her and rested his head on hers.

"I was thinking of some more names today," she said softly.

"Really," he answered. A few months ago they had found out that they would be having another girl much to Haley's happiness.

"What about Madelyn," Gabriella asked her voice soft.

"I like that one….a lot actually," Troy answered.

"I do, too," she told him.

"I think I just might love it just like I love you," Troy said and Gabriella smiled.

"Suck up," Gabriella whispered.

"You know it," he agreed as he kissed the top of her head gently.

"You're home early," she commented.

"Nothing was really going on so the chief sent some people home," he explained.

"How's your knee feeling," she asked.

"Fine just like it was yesterday and the day before that," he teased.

"I know I am just checking," she said.

"How was your day," he inquired.

"Fine. Haley was a little moody but other than that everything was fine," Gabriella told him closing her eyes.

"Hey why don't you go inside and take a nap," he offered.

"I am not a baby," she sulked.

"But you are having one," he pointed out.

"So I am fine I just want to sit here with you," she stated softly.

"Fine but the minute you fall asleep you are going inside," he told her.

"I talked to your mother this morning," she said after a few minutes of silence.

"Oh really," Troy said not surprised since her parents lived right next door.

"I don't think you realize how happy she is that you are back," Gabriella murmured.

"What about you? Are you happy I'm back," Troy questioned. She sat up then and looked at him surprised.

"Of course I am how could you even ask me that," she responded and he smiled at her.

"Just making sure," he answered.

"Well are you happy to be back," she asked him.

"Of course," he exclaimed.

"Hmm you better," she warned as she went back to leaning against him.

"Or what you'll body check me," he asked.

"Hmm maybe I will," she answered and he laughed.

"I love you," he said softly.

"I love you, too," she whispered as he hugged her tightly against him with one arm.

"But you need to go to sleep…upstairs," he said and she laughed.

"Fine," she said getting up and walking into the house. He waited a few minutes before he followed her and went inside but while she went upstairs to sleep and he stayed downstairs and watched the kids. It was about two hours later when Gabriella calmly walked down the stairs and into the living room.

"What's up," Troy asked her.

"My water broke," she told him simply and he jumped up.

"You have got to be kidding me! We have to go to the hospital and call our parents and call my mom to watch the kids and get your bag," he said rushing past her to get the phone. He called someone and immediately started babbling while she watched amused. She got her bag and went to the car to wait for him to get his head together since she had been measuring her contractions for a half hour and they were still far apart. She watched as his mother hurried over to the house and a few minutes later Troy came running out of the house. He got into the car and looked at her amazed.

"What are you doing? Why did you come out here without telling me?" he asked her.

"Because you were going crazy," she said laughing.

"Well you are having a baby," he said.

"Not at this minute," she pointed out.

"Whatever let's go to the hospital," he said.

Later

Madelyn Jane Bolton was born into the world greeted by her mother and father with her brothers and sister at home with their grandmother and all of her parent's friends in the hospital waiting room.

"Hey Madi baby," Troy said to the little newborn in his arms. He was sitting next to the bed that Gabriella was currently sleeping in.

"I love you already you know that. I can't believe you are so perfect of course I should have known I mean your mother is beautiful so why shouldn't you be. You look just like her already," Troy said to the sleeping baby in his arms.

"You know I almost messed up everything. Can you imagine if I didn't come back? But don't worry I did and things are going to be perfect from now on," Troy promised Madelyn.

"You are very lucky because you have two big brothers and a big sister that are going to take care of you. You also have a bunch of aunts and uncles that love you already too. And you have some grandparents that plan to spoil you rotten. But most importantly you have a mom and dad that love you more than anything in this world," he whispered as eh heard a sniffle. He looked over at Gabriella to see her wide awake watching him.

"I thought you were asleep," he said softly.

"I was," she answered shrugging.

"How are you feeling?" he asked her.

"Okay a little sore and in pain but other than that fine," she joked.

"Here hold her. She's really small but the doctor said some babies are," he told her and she smiled at the worry written across his face.

"Troy weren't you there when Peter was born?" Gabriella asked him as he gently put Madelyn in her arms.

"No, she called me right after he was born," he said sadly as he sat down watching her with Madelyn.

"Look at this little face," Gabriella said smiling.

"Little Madelyn Bolton aren't you a perfect little thing. We are going to have to keep the boys away with bats," Gabriella continued.

"Haley and her both are not going to date for a long time," Troy declared and Gabriella rolled her eyes.

"You know I bet my dad said the same thing and look what happened," Gabriella said with a smirk.

"Haha very funny. Your dad trusted us way too much but me I am going to be a paranoid freak. I mean your dad let me in your room with the door closed and that will not be happening in my house," Troy said.

"Well my dad didn't know about the nighttime visits that when on. What do you plan to do about stopping that?" she asked him smiling.

"Well our daughters don't have a balcony so I won't to worry about that," he said before he kissed her.

"We could get them one or change rooms," Gabriella offered after he pulled away.

"I don't think so," he muttered before he kissed her again.

"So you just had a baby yet you are already working on the next. Very inspiring and it shows your dedication," Jess said from the doorway where he stood with Jane smirking.

"Oh no," Gabriella groaned.

"That's the way you greet your favorite person," Jess said as he walked to the other side of the bed.

"You are not my favorite person," Gabriella said annoyed.

"I love you too kiddo," Jess said as he took Madelyn from her.

"She is going to be a beauty this one," Jess noted. Jane came and looked over Jess's shoulder at Madelyn.

"Look she's got the Bolton eyes," Jane told them.

"Really," Troy exclaimed getting up quickly and walking to the other side of the bed over to look at Madelyn.

"Yep," Jess said as they all stared at Madelyn who was now awake. Jess gave Madelyn to Troy who grinned down at her.

"Look Gabi," Troy said handing Madelyn back to her mother who stared into the blue eyes thinking about the first time she had seen two pairs of new blues eyes.

Flashback

It was early the next morning and Gabriella was sitting in her hospital bed with a baby in each arm. She laid them down carefully in between her legs. She inspected them carefully looking for her in them and Troy. As she looked them over deciding they had her ears and chin. Hudson opened his eyes slowly. She stared at him for several minutes but his eyes stayed the same blue color of his dad's.

"Well I guess you got his eyes," she said softly. She looked at the two babies that she had carried around with her for 9 long months. That she had felt move inside her and for a moment couldn't believe that they were actually here.

"Don't worry I am going to take care of you guys I promise," she whispered.

Flashback Ends

"Don't you worry we are both going to take care of you I promise," Gabriella whispered in Madelyn's ear.
