Chapter 20 – April's Sixth Sense

AN: Thank you guys so much for your reviews and for the support on my youtube video. For those of you who were wondering… the song is called "Amazing" and it's by Janelle. Thank you also for the wonderful reviews that you submitted for the last chapter!!! I came home and smiled at each and every review!

I am so glad that you guys were excited that Troy and Gabriella are going to be having twins! I am too! Twins are always a good thing to put into a storyline, and I have my own two twin sisters who are younger than me, so it will be funny to try and include some of the funny stories I have had with me being older (Bella) and the twins younger (Troyella's twins).

By the way… if you understood what I just said, you get a cookie.

Lol.

Anyway, here is the next chapter of the story.

--------

"Twins?"

"Troy, you have repeated that word more than twenty times." Gabriella said, a slight smirk playing on her mouth.

"I know its just… twins."

"I know. We're having twins!" Gabriella said excitedly. I turned to look at her and smiled.

"You think it's karma?" I asked.

"Huh?" The light turned green as we continued to drive home from the hospital. "What do you mean?"

"Well, I always wanted kids, and it was never happening. Party because you needed somebody that you wanted to spend the rest of your life with to have children." I looked at Gabriella quickly, winking. She giggled. "I was actually starting to believe that I was never going to be a dad."

"And karma comes into this how?"

"Well, now I'm going to be a dad to three kids." Gabriella's soft, musical laughter filled the car.

"Yup, Karma was definitely working there." Finally, I pulled into the drive. I quickly got out of the car and walked over to the passenger door, opening it up for Gabriella.

"Such a gentleman." She commented.

"I try." I responded. I wrapped my arm securely around her as we walk up to the front door. Standing there waiting for us was the housekeeper, Bella in her arms.

"How did the appointment go, sir?" she asked as she handed me Bella.

"Very well. It seems there will be two more additions to the household."

"Twins! Oh how lovely."

"Thank you. But Shh… you mustn't tell anybody yet, at least not until we have had a chance to tell our closest friends."

"Right sir." She said, and then walked back inside the house.

"Dada." Isabella said as she tapped me on the shoulder.

"Hey Bella Bear, how are you?"

"Ya!" she exclaimed, and Gabriella and I laughed.

"Yes sweetie." Gabriella crooned. Together we headed into the house. "Wanna go watch some TV?" Isabella clapped excitedly. Gabriella took Isabella and headed off in the direction of the living room.

"Brie?" I said. She turned around.

"Yes."

"I'm going to invite over the gang. I think we should share our amazing news with them."

"Sharpay and Chad in the same room?"

"What better way to keep things entertained?" A sparkle shimmered in Gabriella's eyes.

"Right you are. Call them up!"

"She's staring at us again." Gabriella commented.

We were sitting on the loveseat; Isabella in my lap, while Sharpay and April sat on the couch in front of us, whispering to one another. Zeke was in the kitchen arranging his cookies on a plate, and Taylor and Chad were still running a bit late.

Since she had arrived, April had been staring at Gabriella. And now, it seemed that Sharpay was on board with her.

"You think she knows?" I asked.

"Probably."

"You're right. I mean, April's always had a sixth sense about these kinds of things." Gabriella looked up at me playfully.

"I remember, the whole 'it will take her a week to figure out we're dating'." Gabriella said laughing.

"Hey! In my defense, she has gotten a lot quicker at figuring things out since she went to university."

"Sure Bolton." I grinned.

"But seriously, I swear, she must have some sort of internal radar that tracks when things have changed, and then it pin-points exactly what it is." Gabriella sighed.

"I know. It kind of scares me. You can't keep anything from her."

"Hey guys! I have the cookies." Zeke said as he entered the room. He then proceeded to sit down on the couch beside Sharpay, wrapping his arms around hers.

"So… care to tell us why you called us here?" April asked.

"Not yet. We have to wait for Chad and Taylor to get here." Sharpay rolled her eyes.

"Please. That oaf will take hours to get here. I bet it has something to do with that giant mess of hair on his head."

"How many times have I told you never to diss the Fro?" I turned to see Chad standing in the doorway, Taylor beside him.

"Hello Chad." I said.

"Yo dude. Sorry we're late; there was traffic." Sharpay scoffed from the corner of the room.

"Probably got lost on the way."

"I haven't even been here two minutes and already you're ratting on me. "

"Guys! We're here for Troy and Gabriella, not to bicker amongst ourselves." April cut in. Chad sighed and went to sit down on one of the other loveseats in the room, pulling Taylor down beside him. "Anyway. What is it you wanted to tell us?"

"Not to fast sis." I said. "Firstly, I just wanted to know why you couldn't bring Carl?" April rolled her eyes, making me think that she was starting to become more and more like Sharpay.

"We broke up."

"What? Why?" Gabriella said shocked.

"Oh, it wasn't that bad. He was just to obsessed with his music and work, and was getting a bit boring. I know I thought I loved him, but honestly I think I just wanted somebody to call my boyfriend. He just wasn't the guy for me. But no worry's, we're still friends."

"Aww…" Gabriella said. The room was silent for a little while.

"Bok!" Isabella squealed from my lap as she proudly held up a bright red block. The entire room filled with laughter.

"Well, that's one way to get rid of awkwardness." Taylor said.

"Sure is." I added.

"Anyway…enough about Carl. Tell us what you called us here for." April demanded.

"Always get right to the point, don't ya sis?"

"You're stalling." She said in a singsong voice.

"Fine. Earlier today Gabriella and I got some, exciting news."

"YOU'RE PREGNANT!" April shouted. Gabriella looked up at me, and I raised my shoulders.

"I told you, it's that freaky sixth sense."

"So am I right?"

"Yes April, you're right. Gabriella's pregnant."

"AHH!!! This is so exciting!!! I'm going to be an official, biological aunt!!" April squealed, jumping up from her seat and rushing towards Gabriella. Taylor and Sharpay soon followed, gushing about how she was glowing and looking so excited. The guys came up to me and patted me on the shoulder.

"There's more." Gabriella said. The room looked at her quizzically. I looked at her, and nodded my head for her to continue. "We're expecting twins." Again, squeals filled the room. I stood up off the loveseat with Isabella, allowing the girls to surround Gabriella. I walked over towards the guys.

"Wow dude, big news." Chad said.

"Yeah." I replied as I rocked Isabella gently in my arms. Her head fell naturally against my shoulder.

"You sure you're ready for this? I mean, twins can be a big responsibility." Zeke said.

"I'm sure. Gabriella wanted another sibling for Isabella, and this way they will be close in age. Besides, there's nothing we can do about it."

"Are you happy?" Chad asked.

"Thrilled. I can't believe that this is happening to me. If you had told me a year ago that I would fall in love, adopt an adorable little girl and soon become a biological father, I would not have believed you."

"Fate's on your side man."

"You believe that?" I asked.

"Of course. Finally things are working out for you. You're going to have your own family Bolton." I smiled.

"Speaking of family." Zeke said. "When are you going to tell your parents?"

"Well, my mom is coming over for brunch tomorrow, and we'll tell her then. I'm sure by the end of tomorrow the rest of my family is going to know exactly what is going on." Chad laughed.

"You Bolton's always seem to have a way of spreading gossip quickly."

"It's all my grandmother and April." We laughed.

"So dude, you okay with this." I smiled.

"Yeah. For the first time in my life, I think I'm ready to be starting a family."
