Gabriella took a deep breath as she got yet another contraction. She put her hand on her back while walking around the room. The nurse said if she wants to induce labor, walking helps and the wasn't kidding. Her contraction is getting more closer and more painful by the minute.

Maybe I should stop inducing labor for a while. Gabriella told herself. She slowly walked back to her bed but suddenly she got a big painful contraction. The pain was so unbearable that she could barely stand on her feet. She tried to breathe through the pain but it was no use. Her contraction were just too painful. Suddenly, Gabriella felt someone grabbing her hand from behind.

"It's ok, I got you. Just breathe." It was Troy. Somehow hearing Troy's voice made the pain go away. Gabriella then relaxed her body to Troy. "Thanks," she said.

"You shouldn't be walking around. You could've slipped and fall in between your contractions," Troy instructed Gabriella while helping her getting up to her bed.

Gabriella ignored his words and sat still, "Did you do it?" she asked.

"Yeah," he answered.

"What did they say?" Gabriella wanted to know.

Troy just shrugged, "They haven't decided how they feel about it," he said while getting Gabriella's hair out of her face but Gabriella pushed his hand away.

"That doesn't change anything," Gabriella declared.

Troy looked at her in disbelief, "What more do want from me? I did everything you told me. Tell me what did I do wrong."

"You didn't do anything wrong," Gabriella replied.

"Then why are you so angry at me?" Troy asked.

"Why are so hung up on this? Why are you always on my back about this?" Gabriella asked him asked back.

"Oh you really want to know why?"

"Yes," Gabriella replied.

"Because I love you," Troy admitted. Gabriella looked at him shockingly, not believing those words just got out of his mouth. "I love you. So much. I loved you when we first met but I was a jerk to even realise it. I loved you when you said you would marry me. I loved you when you walked down the aisle and said I do. I loved you when you said you were pregnant. Our first kiss we had was the best kiss I ever had in my life and I'm not just saying that. I may not remember exactly what happened during the night we slept together but I do remember how passionate it was even though we were drunk. I just...I..I just love you so much and I'm a jerk right now because I am too selfish to let you go."

Gabriella looked at Troy emotionlessly, "Why didn't tell me before?" she asked.

"I don't know," Troy answered softly. "But I do know that I don't want to us to end. I don't care what you say but I don't want to let you go. I'll fight for you Gabriella. I'll fight for you and our baby. I don't care if you even put a restraining order against me. I'll find a way to be with you. The question is, are you willing to give me the chance."

Gabriella stared into Troy's blue eyes. She could tell how serious he was about what he just said. Should she give Troy another chance to prove himself? Before she knows it, she started to slowly leaned into Troy. Their lips were just about to touch when Gabriella pulled back when she got a painful contraction.

"Ow," Gabriella said as she felt the pain. Troy quickly held her hand and let her squeeze it as the contraction kept on going. "Wow that was a big one. When is this going to end?" Gabriella said desperately while resting her head on the pillow.

"Well that depends, last time they checked, how far were you?" Troy asked.

"I was 7cm and that was like an hour ago," Gabriella answered.

"Maybe they should check up on you again," Troy suggested.

"Do I look like a telephone to you? Call the doctor then," Gabriella spat.

After Troy called for a doctor, she came in not a moment later and check on Gabriella. Turns out Gabriella was already 9cm and she was moving fast so the doctor suggested to start prepping her for delivery. Gabriella was of course becoming more scared as she knows that the hard part is about to come but with Troy by her side, she can relax a little.

Almost an hour later, Gabriella was already in labor and started to push. Even though she hasn't gave birth in her life before, she already hates it big time. The worst part is, nothing is happening. She have been pushing for five minutes and nothing much has happened except she's been crowning. That was still not good enough.

Troy was beside her, supporting her at every push Gabriella does. All Gabriella did to his encouragement was squeezing his hand more and more harder. Troy could have swore he has lost a feeling in his right hand.

"Gabriella, you're squeezing my hand a little hard here," Troy said.

"A little hard? You want to know what hurts the most?" Gabriella asked him.

"Giving birth?"

"No, giving birth to your baby!" Gabriella exclaimed.

"Alright, sorry. My bad."

"Doctor, is there any chance for me to kill Troy before I can give birth?" Gabriella asked sarcastically in reponse to Troy's sarcasm.

"I'm sorry. No. Anyways, your baby is still crowning. You can start pushing went your next contraction comes," the doctor instructed.

Gabriella whined but managed to take orders and started to pushing while clinging onto Troy's hand. When she got tired, she rested her head on the pillow.

"Alright Gabriella, by the next contraction, give a one big push and you're done," the doctor said.

Gabriella pushed for a few more minutes and very soon the baby slipped out of Gabriella and a cry filled up the room. Troy, who have been looking at the baby the entire time Gabriella was pushing suddenly felt dizzy at the sight of his daughter but at the same time he was too estatic to faint.

"Oh my gosh! She's here," Troy said as the nurse started to clean up the baby.

Gabriella smiled at him then faced the doctor, "Is she ok? Did my early labor affect her at all?" she asked.

"Not at all, she's perfectly healthy. Would daddy like to meet his baby girl?," the nurse answered as she handed Troy their baby in a pink blanket. The nurse didn't even have to ask. Troy was happy to hold his daughter. Troy got a good look at his daughter. She looked so precious with her eyes close and as she started to whimper and fidget.

"Hey there little girl. Do you recognise me? I'm daddy," Troy said. As soon as he mentioned it, his daughter started to move closer to his chest, as if knowing that she's safe. Troy smiled and kissed her forehead softly. "Do you want to meet mommy? She's very excited to see you."

Without hesitation, Gabriella welcomed her daughter from Troy's hands. She smiled at her newborn as tears began to form in her eyes. "She's so beautiful," she said as Troy wrapped his arms around her.

"Yeah she is," Troy agreed as he kissed Gabriella's forehead.

"So do we have a name for baby Bolton?" the doctor asked.

Gabriella turned to Troy waiting for his answer. "Are you sure you want me to name her?" Troy asked.

"Yes, I'm sure," Gabriella said.

Troy smiled at her and faced the doctor, "We're naming her Charlotte. Charlie for short," he announced. Gabriella looked at Troy. Charlotte was her mother's name. What makes him to name their baby after her mother?

"Middle name?" the doctor inquired.

Troy turned to Gabriella, "You did all the work, you can give her a middle name."

Gabriella smiled at him and thought about it, "How about...Lucille for the middle name? Charlotte Lucille Bolton. Charlie Bolton for short."

"That's a great name," Troy agreed and stared at Gabriella, falling in love with her all over again.

After the doctors took down the name, Gabriella faced Troy, "By the way," she said, "I love you too."

Troy smiled at her. He have never been so relived to hear those words coming out from her mouth. He leaned in to her lips and kissed her softly and passionately. This time, he had to admit, is the best kiss they had because this kiss is filled with passion and real love. Like always, Gabriella pulled back and smiled at him but then she looked down at their newborn daughter.

This is the moment that Troy would remember in his life and he's pretty sure Gabriella will remember it too.

YAY! They are finally together! Or aren't they? Don't worry there's a few more chapters left.
