BTW: The baby's middle name is pronounced Loreen, I just like the spelling I gave it. The baby's were born on 9/14/06. I typed this up two weeks ago! Man, there are a lot of fics here on like this one. Oh, well. At least I can say I didn't copy. I have had this chapter, and three more, ready for weeks. Sorry, hope you enjoy! I had someone suggest different names, and I am sorry if you don't like the ones I gave them, but I am sticking with 'em. I like them. Anyway, ENJOY! And review, don't forget to review.


Troy looked at Gabriella, wondering if he had heard right. She just smiled up at him.

"Are you sure?" He asked. She nodded and Troy broke out into a huge grin. She was giving their baby his name. Troy fingered something in his pocket, feeling that this was the perfect time he had been waiting for for the last two weeks. It was now or never. Handing his little girl to his mom, he moved over to where Gabriella was laying on the bed, holding Rocket. Taking a deep breath, he lowered himself down on one knee, taking the small velvet box out of his pocket and opening it to reveal a small, but beautiful diamond ring. Gabriella gasped, putting a hand to her mouth. Ms. Montez, the Bolton's' and Taylor stood back, wanting to give them room.

"Gabriella Montez, since the first time I met you, I knew I loved you. Everyday, I thank that man who shoved us up there on that stage, because if it weren't for him, neither of us would be here right now. After everything we have been through, the good and the bad, you have always been with me. I love you with all my heart, Gabriella. Will you marry me?" She was speechless for a moment, then her shocked face broke out into a beautiful smiled.

"Yes!" Troy stood up, looking like the happiest man in the world as placed the ring on Gabriella's finger. There were tears in both of their eyes. He hugged her as best as he could with their baby still in her arms. When they turned to their parents, they were all smiling. Taylor shouted 'yes' and ran over, hugging first Gabriella and then Troy.

"Well, this little one still needs a name." Mrs. Bolton spoke up, motioning to the baby in her arms.

"Raine." Gabriella said automatically. "Raine Laureen Bolton."

"I like it." Troy said just as Rocket began to scream. He was loud.


"How can something so small scream so loud!" Troy groaned in frustration as he stood from his place at the end of his bed in the guest room and walked into the nursery. It was 3:00am. Picking up Rocket, he reached into Raine's crib, one he had assembled with instructions, to see if she was OK. She was looking up at the ceiling, and turned to Troy as he ran his thumb over her cheek. Troy grinned, despite the loud shrieking in his ear from Rocket. Just then he heard someone at the door. It was Ms. Montez.

"Need help?"

"Uh, Raine is being good, but I can't seem to find what is wrong with Rocket. Is there anything wrong, or does he just like giving me headaches?" Ms. Montez laughed, walking over and brushing Rockets little bit of hair back.

"Probably a little of both. Did you check his diaper, see if he is hungry?" Troy nodded, moving Rocket to a position where he could better support his head.

"Yup. He has been really loud for the past few days. I don't know why. I read that new baby's don't sleep through the night when they first come home, but this is ridiculous."

"He takes after Gabriella. She wouldn't stop crying for weeks after she came home. And I mean non-stop. I got so worried about her that I took her to the hospital a few times. It turned out she had colic. If Rocket has it, fear fer your ear drums." Troy laughed as he gently rocked Rocket back and forth. "And I didn't have someone to help me. Her father left before she was born. Gabriella is very lucky to have you. You have been a huge help, and she appreciates it."

"Yea, well, I'm not the one that just had twins. I think I should let her have some time alone. And I really don't mind taking care of Rocket...when he is quiet, that is. Raine is a perfect little baby. She only cries when she is dirty or wants fed. Which is a big help. Because I know when something is wrong. Rocket, on the other hand, is not like that. When he cries, I have no idea whether something is wrong or not." Troy gave up rocking him back and forth and started rubbing circles on his back. Rocket calmed down a bit, and uncurled his fist, letting his tiny fingers spread out on Troy's shoulder.

"Well, I think you just found how to get him to calm down." Troy smiled and continued to rub Rocket. Ms. Montez ruffled Troy's hair before walking out of the room. Walking around in circles, Troy smiled at Rocket. He was a really cute kid once he stopped crying long enough for someone to see his face. Soon, Rocket let out a small yawn, before falling asleep on Troy's shoulder. Supporting his head, Troy gently lowered him back in his crib. Looking at Raine's crib, Troy noticed she was still awake. Picking her up, he held her in the crook of his arm as he walked over to the rocker and sat down, slowly rocking back and forth. She was beautiful. She looked almost exactly like Gabriella, except her eyes and her was lighter than Gabriella's, but darker than Troy's.

Troy didn't notice Gabriella standing at the door as he began to speak totheir daughter.

"You are just as beautiful as your mommy. You look almost exactly like her." Raine just gurgled in response, reaching up to touch Troy's nose. Gabriella smiled. She knew she had wanted this, the baby's and all, but she didn't realize until now how much she would love it. She loved them both to death, and she hadn't even known about Raine until she was in delivery. But she wouldn't have it any other way. She wouldn't give up her little girl for anything. Or her little boy.

"You are going to be smart like your mother, you and your brother. I wonder if it is bad luck to have twins, I mean, look how Sharpay and Ryan turned out." Gabriella stopped listening as she watched. He was so gentle, it was like he had been taking care of children his whole life. Careful to support her head, he treated Raine like a piece of glass ready to break. He was a great father. Deciding to make her presence known, Gabriella walked into the room, Troy looked up and smiled.

"And you have been standing there how long?"

"Long enough." Troy nodded, standing up and carefully setting Raine in her crib, for she had fallen asleep. "You really think she looks like me?"

"Yes, she looks exactly like you." He smiled and placed a hand on Gabriella's cheek, running his thumb up and down it. Gabriella looked at the floor, nervously twisting the ring on her finger around in circles. Troy lowered his face to hers, gently taking her lips with his own. Gabriella sighed happily and wrapped her arms around his back, leaning into him. There wasn't anywhere else she would rather be than here, in the arms of the one she loved more than anyone else.


Gabriella yawned as she walked to the nursery. It was now seven, and altogether, she had gotten about six hours of sleep. When she entered, Troy was already there, holding Rocket and trying to calm him down. As soon as he saw her, the little baby reached out, wanting to go to his mother. Gabriella smiled and took him in her arms.

"Good-Morning, sleepy." Gabriella yawned again.

"How long have you been up?" She asked, walking over to the rocking chair and pinking up a blanket. Spreading it across her shoulders, she proceeded to feed Rocket. Troy, who was still a little self-conscious about seeing Gabriella do this, looked away.

"About two hours. I couldn't sleep. I ended up making breakfast, pancakes. Your mom is waiting downstairs for us. I was gonna come get you when I had Rocket calmed down." He was still avoiding looking at Gabriella, although the blanket was covering most of the exposed part.

"Oh. Troy, come on, you don't have to be embarrassed. I mean, we have baby's for gosh sakes. And I am covered up." She was stopped from going any further by the doorbell ringing. It woke Raine. She started crying, she wanted to be picked up. Troy walked over to the crib, picking the tiny baby out of it and holding her against his shoulder. She was a little small, but for a twin, she was fine. 5 pounds 9 ounces. Her brother was 6 pounds 8 ounces, so they were both small. Walking down the stairs, Troy opened the door with his free hand. On the other side was Chad and Taylor. Taylor squeaked when she saw Raine.

"Oh, she is so cute! Can I hold her?" Troy nodded, carefully taking Raine from his shoulder and passing her to Taylor. "Careful to support her head." He said, worried. Taylor smiled knowingly.

"I know, come on, do you think I am an idiot?" Chad coughed, it sounding suspically like 'yes you are'. Troy almost laughed.

"Well, come on in."

"Are you like, living here now?" Chad asked.

"Ah...no. I am just here for a few weeks to help Gabriella. Rocket is a handful. Speaking of which..." Gabriella walked down the stairs with a crying Rocket.

"Why won't he be quiet?" She sighed, yawning again as she approached Troy. "Hey Taylor...careful, Chad. My mom is leaving soon, and we were about to eat breakfast, would you like to join us?" They nodded and walked inside, Troy taking Raine back from Taylor. The gang walked into the kitchen where Ms. Montez was standing over the stove, finishing the pancakes.

"Why, hello, guys! We didn't realize you were coming over."

"We wanted to see Rocket and Raine. Besides, there isn't much to do on Saturday." Troy snorted, he had plenty to do.


Well, so sorry for the short chapter. I am going to my grandparents tommorow.
