Chapter 27 – In The World

AN: Hey guys! Thank you so much for the reviews for last chapter. I really, really appreciated them so much, and I love hearing from you guys. My birthday was simply fantastic… I had a very memorable time with my close friends and family. It is definitely a sixteenth birthday to remember.

I got a digital camera from my family, and all of my friends were so sweet and pitched money together to get me an I-Pod Touch!!! It was so sweet of them and I love them so much for it.

Also… have any of you heard of the rumours that Zac and Vanessa are engaged? I don't know about you guys but I actually screamed when I read that, and I really hope to God that the rumour is true. They are just the perfect couple and then they would be High School Sweet hearts and it would just be SO ROMANTIC!!!

Well, enough of my rambling. I'm sure you all want to read on with the chapter and find out what the twins names are going to be!!!

Go on! Get reading!

Lol.

"Alright Gabriella, are you ready for the second one?" Dr. Hues asked her.

My little boy had been taken away to be cleaned, and they would bring him back after the second baby was born. Gabriella was now getting prepared to give birth to the second child.

"I don't think I really have a choice." She said, breathing heavily. Dr. Hues laughed.

"You're right." I clapped my hands together.

"Let's get this show on the road." I said. Gabriella nodded at me.

"It's time." We clasped hands together, just as Gabriella's contraction came through.

The same pain was felt on my hand as Gabriella worked on bringing our daughter into the world. I continued to press the cold, damp cloth against her forehead. Gabriella gave one final push, falling back against me, a cry filling the room once again.

Our little girl had entered the world.

I kissed Gabriella's head, whispering in her ear.

"You did it." She leaned back against me.

"We did it." She said smiling. I continued to wipe sweat off Gabriella's forehead as the nurses worked around us, cleaning up and helping us with the babies. Dr. Hues then approached us, a large smile on her face.

"How are they?" I asked.

"For premature babies, they are very healthy. They have ten fingers and ten toes each, and their lungs are very strong. You have no worries with the little ones." Gabriella turned her head and grinned at me.

"They're fine."

"I told you they would be." I then looked back up at Dr. Hues. "Can we see them?"

"Here they come." Two nurses approached us, one carrying a blue bundle while the other a pink. As the blue bundle was handed into my arms, tears filled my eyes. I looked down at the baby in my arms, gasping when I saw it's vibrant blue eyes.

"H…Hey baby boy. It's your daddy here." I said, chocked up. The tiny baby in my arms opened his eyes to show off his vibrant cyan eyes. I smiled, reaching my finger down to tickle his chin. His tiny little hand reached up and grabbed my finger. I looked up to see tears streaming down Gabriella's face as she rocked her baby daughter in her arms.

"She's so beautiful." She said, "The both are."

"They are." I agreed.

"I never got to hold Bella right after she was born. I can't believe the emotions that I am feeling right now. So powerful…"

"I know how you feel." I said, looking down at my son. "It seems like he has mommy's nose."

"And our sweet daughter had daddy's chin." I smiled at the sight in the room.

It was perfect.

"I think it's time to call in the family."

-------

"Knock, knock." My father's voice was heard from the doorway. "The doctor told us you called us." The rest of my family, as well as our friends, smiles spreading on each face.

"Everybody I would like to introduce you to the twins."

"Oh their precious." My mom said as she set Isabella down on the ground. I handed my son off to my mom just as Isabella's body crashed into my legs.

"Dada." She said, raising her arms up. I bend down and lifted her up.

"Hey baby girl." Again, she just put her head down against my shoulder.

"What are their names?" April asked from her spot in the corner with James. My dad was standing beside them, now holding our daughter. I sat down on the bed beside Gabriella, Isabella still in our arms. I looked at Gabriella and nodded.

"Well," she started, "The little girl you are holding Jack is called Allyson April Faith Bolton, Allie for short." April began crying.

"You named her after me?" She asked Gabriella.

"It was all Troy's idea." April looked at me, tears flowing down her cheeks.

"Thank you big brother."

"April, you are one of the most important people in my lives. You were there for me all through the years I struggled to find a girl. And now, I can't thank you enough for all of the support and love you gave to me. Without you, I probably would have been off a lot worse. You are the most important person to me." She ran over to me, hugging me as tight as she could without squishing Isabella.

"I love you Troy."

"I love you too April." April went back and stood beside James, dabbing at her eyes with a Kleenex.

"And what is the little boy's name?" my mom asked.

"His name is Oliver David James Bolton." James looked up at me in surprise.

"Dude, you serious?'

"I am. You are my best friend James, and I felt I needed to include you into my children's lives. Just like April, you have always been there for me, especially after I hurt my knee and could no longer play basketball. It was you that inspired me to open up a restaurant, and even though you may be the laziest employee I have even had, you help me a lot there." James smiled at me.

"Thanks man." I nodded.

"Welcome dude." The babies continued to be passed around the room from family member to family member.

"Ollie and Allie, it's so perfect. They are so tiny." Sharpay commented. "Are you sure they are healthy enough?"

"They're a bit premature, but fine." Gabriella answered her best friend. Sharpay handed her daughter back to Gabriella, who kissed her lightly on the forehead before turning to me.

"I think we should introduce Bella to her siblings." I nodded.

"Of course." I gently prodded Isabella, and she took her head off my shoulder. "Baby girl, you want to meet your little sister?"

"Ya." I smiled, turning her in my lap so she faced Gabriella and Allie.

"Be careful Bella, she's very small." Isabella nodded, reaching her tiny hand forward and touching her sister delicately on the forehead.

"Baby."

"Yeah, she's a baby. Her name is Allie. Can you say that?"

"Baby Allie!" Isabella squealed. I sat Isabella down on the bed, just as Chad handed me Oliver.

"Bella." Isabella turned to face me. "This is your little brother Ollie." Isabella shifted over a bit to look at her brother. She stared down at him curiously, and stuck her small finger to touch his cheek. Then, Oliver suddenly reached forward and grasped her finger in his hand. Bella looked up at me, a slightly confused look on her face.

"Oh darling, that means he likes you." Gabriella coed as rocking Allie back and fourth. A bright flash filled the room, and I turned to see my mom holding a digital camera in her hand.

"Oh I couldn't help it. You are such a beautiful family." Everyone laughed, and my father came and grabbed my mom's hand.

"Alright, we'll leave the beautiful family to their peace."

"Bye guys!" the gang said in unison. Almost everyone was out of the room, when suddenly April appeared in the doorway.

"Big brother?"

"Yes?" I asked.

"Thank you again. I really feel honoured that little Allie was named after me." I smiled.

"You're welcome."

--------

The room fell into silence as the twins settled into their respective bassinets. Gabriella was leaning against me as I gently stroked her hair rhythmically.

"I can't believe I just went through that." She mused to herself.

"I know. It's pretty fascinating."

"And on your birthday too. What a day." I nodded.

"What a day." Gabriella stifled a yawn.

"Go sleep Brie, you are probably exhausted." She shook her head.

"I don't want to sleep."

"Why?"

"Because, my life is way too good right now. I feel like if I fall asleep it will all disappear." I smiled, kissing the back of Gabriella's hair.

"You sleep. I'll still be here, and I'll make sure that nothing disappears." She rested her head against my chest, closing her eyes.

"Okay."

"I love you darling." I told her lovingly.

"I love you too."
