Chapter 43
"Oh no!" Gabriella exclaimed. She grabbed her cell, which was right next to her on the table and dialled Troy's cell. She then heard it ringing behind her. "So much for having your cell with you," Next she called Jack and heard his phone ring behind her too. She tried calling everyone's cell and nobody answered. Just then another stronger contraction hit causing her to grab her stomach with her hand. She dialled Chad's cell again since he had promised he would be there if she needed him but it went straight to his voicemail. "Everyone is so dead when I see them." Gabriella exclaimed as she moaned in pain.
With the others
"Hey why don't we all take a walk up to the top of the park because I'm bored here and since we just ate we won't be hungry for a while." Sharpay suggested as everyone agreed and left the Evans'. None of them grabbed their jackets or bags that had their cells in. The only person with a bag was Kelsi and that was for Michael.
"Do you think I should call and check on Gabi?" Troy asked Chad.
"Troy I would leave her because she is most likely sleeping and you don't want to wake her." Chad told him as they followed the others.
"Guys I will catch up with you all in a bit but I forgot to bring some of the medicine I'm on so I'm going to run home and grab them. Yes Troy I'll check on Gabi too." Troy smiled as Jack left. Not long after the rest of the gang had reached where they were heading and all sat down just talking.
With Gabriella
The contractions were getting stronger and closer together and Gabriella knew she couldn't wait much longer to get in touch with someone so she knew she would have to call an ambulance and do this alone. She was about to call when she heard the front door open.
"Gabriella? OMG Gabriella are you ok?" Jack asked as he bent down in front of her.
"My water broke about an hour ago and I tried calling everyone and waiting for someone but no one was answering." She told him as he nodded.
"Right I'm just going to get my tablets and then I'm taking you to the hospital. Is your bag all set upstairs?" Gabriella nodded as she tried to breathe through the contractions. Jack watched her worried before he ran to get all his stuff.
About 15 minutes later, Jack and Gabriella arrived at the hospital. They had once again been trying to call the others still with no luck.
"Hello my son's fiancée is in labour and I need help now." Jack quickly said as he pushed Gabriella in a wheelchair. A nurse lead them up to a room where they settled Gabriella in and checking her over before leaving.
"Thanks Jack." Gabriella said as she lay down.
"Its ok. I can't believe no one is answering their cells. Do you want me to leave and go get them?" Jack asked as she grabbed his hand without giving him chance to move.
"Don't leave. I've already had to do this on my own for over an hour and I don't want to do it on my own." Jack nodded as he squeezed her hand.
"Don't worry I will get someone to go get Troy and the others. I'll be 2 minutes ok?" Gabriella nodded as Jack left.
With Jack
He tried calling Lisa again as well as the Evans' house. He then called the person he knew could help even though they never use to get on. Ms Darbus.
"Hello?" Jack smiled as he heard the voice.
"Shannon it's Jack. I need you to go to the park at the top and get Troy and everyone because none of them have their cells and Gabriella has gone into labour." Jack explained quickly.
"Don't worry I will find them even if I have to use my dramatic theatre background to make them come. If they aren't there where will they most likely be?" She asked.
"The Evans'. I need to go because Gabriella's on her own. Thank you." Jack hung up and walked back inside.
"Did you get them?" Jack shook his head. "Hey don't worry I did get someone who will find them and make them get here ASAP." Gabriella looked at him confused. "Ms Darbus." Gabriella's mouth formed an 'o' as another contraction hit. "Just breath Gabi. I'm going to get the doctor." Jack left.
With Ms Darbus
She quickly grabbed her bag and ran out the door. She lived opposite the park so she knew she would be there in a matter of minutes if they were there. And as expected they were.
"MR BOLTON GET UP THIS INSTANT!" Ms Darbus yelled as everyone turned to her.
"Ms Darbus what are you doing here?" Chad asked as she looked at Troy.
"Trying to find a lazy young man who doesn't have his cell phone along with everyone else and his fiancée is in hospital about to give birth." Troy's eyes widened.
"You mean…" she nodded as Troy darted away before any of the others got a chance to speak.
"Ms Darbus how do you know that Gabriella is in hospital?" Zeke asked.
"Jack called and he said he needed me to get you all up to the hospital soon." Everyone nodded as they started walking back towards the Evans' to get their cars. Taylor and Chad, who had walked to the Evans' went with Ms Darbus so they could get there quicker.
Back at the hospital with Gabriella
"Gabriella you are now fully dilated so we need to take you to the delivery room." Gabriella looked at Jack sadly knowing the chances of Troy being there to see the birth was impossible now since he probably had no idea. Jack squeezed her hand.
"You can do this I know you can." Gabriella smiled.
"Will you come with me? I can't do this on my own and since Troy isn't here I want you to be there." Jack nodded as the doctor led him away to get scrubbed up and took Gabriella down to the delivery room.
Once everything was set up, Jack waked in wearing the overalls and stood next to Gabriella.
"You know your mom and dad would be so proud of you right now just like I am." Gabriella smiled. She knew this would be hard because she always thought it would be Troy and her mom with her when she had her first child and now she neither. The doctor instructed Gabriella and as soon as she finished Gabriella was told to start pushing. "Come on Gabi you can do this." Jack whispered in her ear as she fell back only to hear the door open. Jack looked up as Gabriella caught her breath as Troy came rushing in. his dad laughed when he saw how exhausted Troy looked.
"Sir do you have permission to be in here?" A nurse asked as Gabriella got ready to push.
"He better do because he has already missed half of this." Gabriella gritted her teeth at him as he gave her his award-winning smile. The nurses and doctor smiled as Jack shook his head at the two of them as Troy took hold of her other hand and allowed her to squeeze.
"Gabriella one last big push and we will bring the first baby Bolton into the world." Gabriella pushed with all her strength and felt the child slip from her. "It's a boy!" the doctor announced over the baby boy's cries. Troy kissed Gabriella before he cut the baby's umbilical cord.
"Well done Gabriella." Jack said as he gave her a kiss on her forehead as Troy smiled at her.
"Right Gabriella you need to start pushing again now so we can bring baby Bolton number 2 into the world. I want you to do the same as before. 1 2 3 push." Gabriella pushed again as she gripped Troy's hand again. Minutes later another cry filled the room as Gabriella leaned back. "It's a girl!" Troy once again cut the cord and kissed Gabriella as Jack looked on at the couple proudly. They wrapped the baby girl up and brought the two back over to the new parents. Troy was handed their daughter while Gabriella was handed their son.
"They're precious you two." Jack said stroking his grandson's head softly. "DO I get to know the names you chose now?" he asked as Gabriella looked at Troy who shook his head.
"You'll have to wait like the rest of them dad." Jack grinned proudly at Troy who exchanged his daughter for his son with Gabriella. Gabriella held her for a few minutes before she offered her to Jack to hold since he hadn't had chance to hold either of them yet.
Gabriella was soon moved to her own room where Jack left to get Lisa leaving Troy and Gabriella alone with their children.
"So Troy Bolton what took you so long to arrive and why did you and everyone else not have their cells with them?" Gabriella asked Troy.
Troy smiled at her sheepishly. "I forgot mine but don't blame me for the others." Troy answered as Gabriella shook her head. Troy sat on the bed next to Gabriella who was holding their daughter in her arms and Troy held their son with one arm around Gabriella as they looked at their children lovingly.
"Aren't you guys the perfect little family." Troy and Gabriella looked up to see Lisa poking her head through the door.
"Hey mom." Troy said as she walked over to them.
"Aww aren't they perfect." Troy handed his father their son as Gabriella handed their daughter to Lisa.
"So you going to tell me their names now or do I have to keep calling them baby?" Jack asked as Gabriella nodded to Troy.
"Ok as you both know Gabriella would have loved for both her parents or at least one of them to be here right now but they can't and we wanted our children to have something to remember them so Gabi you want to tell them." Gabriella smiled as Troy wrapped an arm around her.
"Jack that little boy in your arms is Christian Fabio Bolton and Lisa your holding Alexia Maria Bolton. We'll call them Chris and Lexi for short." Troy kissed the top of her head as his parents smiled.
"They're gorgeous names for these precious gifts." Lisa told them as they all had their attention on the two new additions to the Bolton family. Just one more addition needed to be made and that was for Gabriella to officially become a Bolton.
