Chapter 41
"Troy?" Lisa started as Troy and Gabriella looked at her baffled by the look on her face.
"Mom what's going on? You look like you need to say something. Is it about Dad? Has something happened?" Troy rambled on but was cut off by Gabriella kissing him.
"Thanks Gabi. Troy don't panic. Yes this is about your dad but its good news." Lisa went and sat on the chair opposite Troy and Gabriella. "They think from the latest tests that they've done that your dad is finally getting better. They think if he stays the way he is then the cancer could be gone by the New Year. He will be home tomorrow" Troy just sat there in shock.
"Troy?" Gabriella gently said as she slid her hand into his.
"You serious?" Troy asked his mom.
"More than ever." Troy smiled as he dropped Gabriella's hand and hugged his mom. "OK Troy let go and stop strangling me." Gabriella smiled as Troy let his mom go smiling sheepishly at her.
"I have to go call Chad." Troy announced as he ran upstairs.
"That's great." Gabriella told Lisa who moved next to Gabriella.
"Don't worry Troy's just excited that hopefully his dad will be finally starting to recover. He hasn't forgot you. And trust me, Jack and I won't let him do so because Jack forgot me when I needed him most and was more concerned about his friends." Lisa hugged Gabriella as Troy came back downstairs. "You spoke to Chad already?" Lisa asked him.
"Nope but I did forget to do something." He leaned over the back of the couch and kissed Gabriella. "Sorry I ran off before I got chance to do that." Gabriella smiled as Troy walked out the back.
"Ok chances of him forgetting you like Jack I would say are slimmer odds." Gabriella laughed as she went to find Troy.
With Troy
Troy called Chad and waited for an answer.
"Dude you better have a good reason for interrupting me and Tay." Chad answered as Troy shook his head.
"Don't worry this is definitely worth the interruption. Chad they think my dad's finally getting better." There was a long silence. "Chad?"
"Dude are you serious?" Troy smiled as he felt Gabriella wrap her arms around him from behind.
"I'm deadly serious." Gabriella kissed his neck while Troy smiled.
"Congrats man. Just think he will soon be back to his old self telling you and Gabs to stop making out and making sure you two are not up to no good." Troy laughed.
"Nah I think he will be too busy looking after his grandchildren to bother with me and Gabi." Troy realized what he said as Gabriella smacked him.
"Wait did you say grandchildren?" Chad asked as Gabriella nodded.
"Chad put me on loud speaker so Taylor can hear and I'll do the same with Gabi." They waited a few seconds.
"Ok we're good this side." Chad told them.
"Hey Chad, hey Tay." Gabriella said as she hugged Troy.
"So are you guys going to explain what Troy meant when he said grandchildren?" Taylor asked as Gabriella nodded to Troy.
"Guys me and Gabi, we're having twins." It sounded to Troy and Gabriella as though they had dropped the phone but could hear Taylor screaming.
"Dude you are in so much trouble for making Gabs get pregnant with twins." Chad joked as Gabriella laughed.
"Chad leave him alone. So you guys going to say anything else?" Gabriella asked worriedly.
"Gabriella don't sound so worried this is amazing. We're going to have two mini Troy and Gabriella's now instead of one. Congratulations you two." Taylor spoke up.
"Thanks Taylor. Hey why don't you come round here and we'll get the others round too so I can tell them about my dad and we can announce about the twins as well." Troy suggested as they all agreed and made plans.
Later that evening the whole gang was sitting around the Bolton's living room. No one apart from Chad and Taylor knew what the real reason Troy and Gabriella asked them all round was for.
"Right everyone shut up." Troy said as Gabriella smacked him for being so rude and blunt.
"Thanks for that Troy." Sharpay sarcastically said as Troy smiled at her.
"So you probably all think I've lost the plot." Everyone laughed and nodded.
"You lost the plot years ago Troy." Jason shouted as Troy stared at him.
"Don't worry baby I still love you no matter what." Gabriella told him kissing him.
"Eww Gabs stop." Zeke yelled as the boys all let out 'ewws' and the girls 'awws'.
"Leave us alone we're allowed to be like this. Anyway moving on we have two lots of news we thought we should share with you guys. Firstly it looks like my dad is finally getting better." They all gave Troy their congratulations. "Gabi you want to tell them the second piece of news?" Gabriella smiled.
"Me and Troy are having twins." Everyone's jaw dropped apart from Chad and Taylor's.
"Twins?" Sharpay asked as Gabriella nodded. "OMG! That is so cool. You have to let me be godmother to one of them. Yep I insist you make me godmother to one of them." Gabriella and Troy looked at each other as Sharpay got excited.
"Someone shut her up." Jason stated as Zeke pulled her down and into a kiss, which she willingly returned. "I said shut her up not MAKE OUT!" Jason shouted as they stopped and turned back to the group.
"Thanks Zeke. Are you guys mad?" Troy asked as they all looked at him like he was crazy.
"Why would we think you were crazy?" Ryan asked as Troy shrugged.
"I guess just the fact we are young, not married and are going to have to deal with twins." Gabriella answered.
"But you won't be not married for too much longer." Annabelle reminded her.
"Hey Troy?" Gabriella said later that night when they were both lying in bed.
"What's up?" Troy asked as he re-wrapped his arms around her.
"Do you think we will be ok?" Gabriella asked in a scared voice.
"Gabriella where's this coming from? Of course we will be ok because we have each other and we have all our friends and family." Troy told her as he saw a tear fall from her eye.
"Not my family." It then hit Troy that she was obviously missing her parents. "Troy I never got to see my mom or dad's reaction when I told them I was pregnant. I'll never be able to see them interact with our children and you have no idea how that feels." Troy turned on his side fully and wrapped his arms around Gabriella as she cried into his chest. Troy looked up as he heard his bedroom door squeak open.
"Gabriella sweetie are you ok?" Lisa asked as Troy shook his head at his mom.
'She's missing her parents'. Troy mouthed to his mom who nodded.
"Gabi I promise no matter what me and Jack will be here for the two of you I promise. I know it's not the same as having your own mom here but trust me she is here. In spirit watching down on you. She's making sure you and these babies stay healthy. She wouldn't want you to be upset like this sweetheart." Lisa told her rubbing her back.
"I'm sorry." Gabriella mumbled as Troy held her tighter.
"You have nothing to apologize for ok? We don't want you to have to hide these feelings Gabi." Troy told her as she nodded. Lisa left the two as Troy held her while she fell asleep.
A/N: right I am going to use superamali's idea and name the twins after Gabriella's parents. I have the middle names already, which will be Fabio for the boy and Maria for the girl, but I need first names so please suggest some. Please review. Thanks!
