Three Months Later Gabriella's POV
I ate dinner silently with mom. "Gabriella! You are eating so much!" My mom said, sounding surprised rather than angry. I grabbed my stomach and ran into the bathroom. "Gabriella!" Mom ran after me.
Troy's POV
I bounced a tennis ball against my wall and kept throwing it and catching it while I lay on my bed. I was soooo bored! "Troy! Come here right away!" My mom called. "Yeah? I asked rushing down the stairs. "Get in the car, I'll explain on the way to the hospital," she said. "What!" I yelled. Gabriella I thought. Once we were there, my mom had told me about Gabriella passing out. We waited with Ms. Montez for the doctor. "Montez?" a woman said. "Yes! What is it?" She asked. "Follow me please," the woman said, looking at me for a moment. I sighed and sat down, putting my head in my hands.
(leaving Troy's POV)
"Ms. Montez, I am Dr. Manion. Well, we took some tests, and one of which was an ultra sound," she said. "Gabriella looks to be about four months pregnant, and we know that there are at least two babies in there." "Oh my God!" Ms. Montez. "Do you know, who the father might be?" she asked. "I think I have an idea," Ms. Montez said.
Troy's POV
What's taking them so long! "Troy, come here, honey," Ms. Montez said. "Yeah?" I asked. "Is she okay?" "Go with Dr. Manion, I'll wait here," she said. "Troy, right?" "Yes, what's wrong with Gabriella?" I asked. "Well, she's pregnant," Dr. Manion said.
"W-what?" I stammered. "She looks about four months along. We think that you are the father." "C-can I see her?" Dr. Manion nodded. "Oh, and I don't mean to overwhelm you, but he's having twins." I looked at her in disbelief. She took me to Gabriella. She was awake and sitting up. She had been crying. "Do, y-you know?" I asked. Gabriella nodded. I walked over to her. She looked down. "Are you going to keep them?" I asked. "Yeah, I think so, I know that I'm not having an abortion," she said. "Gabby, no matter what you do, I won't leave you, I'm gonna be a dad," I said (the last part more to myself). I touched her stomach and held my hand there. "I'll be a mom! My mom will be a grandma!" Gabriella said. "I'm gonna be a dad," I whispered again.
Three more months
later, Gabriella's POV
We had an extra bedroom that was just
left empty in our house. It was originally going to be a guest room,
but it was now going to be the baby's room. Troy and I were
painting it pale yellow and powder blue. We knew that the twins were
going to be named Ericka Paige and Aidan Matthew. He liked the names
Ericka and Matthew and I liked Paige and Aidan, so we combined them.
Their last names would both be Bolton. Troy and I were engaged, and
we planned on getting married the in the summer after Ericka and
Aidan turn 1. I sat down and watched Troy paint for a minute. "Oh,
would you two stop it!" I said smiling. "What?" Troy asked.
"They're kicking like they're in a soccer game or something!"
I joked. Troy walked over and put a hand on my stomach. "Wow,"
was all he said. "Wow? WOW! How about amazing! We are going to be
parents in just over two months! All you can saw is, wow?" I
yelled. "I am as fat as a cow!" I grunted. "Gabriella, no you
aren't! You're gonna be a mom! That's not fat, that's a baby,
actually, it's TWO babies!" Troy smiled. I kissed him.
"Gabriella? Taylor and Chad are here!" My mom called. Chad came
to help Troy paint while Taylor and I shopped for baby things. We saw
some really cute stuff while we were there. In the end, we bought a
rocker, two cribs, a dresser, some clothes, and one pack of diapers,
just to start off with. We didn't actually haul the furniture home
in my tiny car, we just ordered them, and they'd be at the house
about two weeks before the babies are due.
Time! Troy's POV
Troy stayed at the Montez's house the week that Gabriella was due, and he was going to for a month or so to be with the babies. "AHHHHHH!" Gabriella screamed. "Baby? Gabby, what's wrong?" I asked. "I think my water just broke!" I sat up, helped Gabby to the car, woke up Ms. Montez, grabbed the keys and we sped off. Once we were there and Gabby was in her hospital bed, she was still having contractions. Ms. Montez decided to call my parents for me because Gabriella wouldn't let me. She took the pain killing drugs. "TROY! I HATE YOU!" She yelled. "I love you too Gabriella!" I said sarcastically. I knew she didn't mean it. "Okay, Gabriella, push on three okay?" the Doctor said. By now, my parents, Taylor, Kelsey, Sharpay, Zeke, Jason and Chad were here. "One, two, three, push!" Gabriella screamed and squeezed my hand so incredibly hard. They kept telling her when to push and she kept squeezing my hand until one adorable baby Aidan came out. He looked a lot like me, same blue eyes, and light brown hair. The doctor asked me if I wanted to cut the cord and I nodded. Then he was taken to be cleaned up. He was LOUD! "Want to hold him?" a nurse asked. I hesitated and then said yes. He was now wearing a baby blue one piece thing and a blue and white striped hat. I held him and it was the most amazing thing ever! "Hi Aidan, I'm you daddy," I said. His crying kept up. "Shh," I whipered. "Here comes baby number two!" The doctor said. When Ericka came out, she wasn't crying. Immediately everyone thought something was wrong, and they cut the cord and took her quickly. I gently handed Aidan to Gabriella. She looked at him and cried. He stopped crying and fell asleep in her arms. They looked at me, holding Ericka who was wearing the same thing as Aidan, but in pink. They looked puzzled. She was completely healthy, but she didn't cry. She stared at me. She looked exactly like her mother. They handed her to me and I held her. She just watched me, looking curiously at the world. She was a brave little girl, and she was a miracle. That's how I knew that her name suited her well, Ericka means, 'ever powerful.'
