Chapter 44
The whole gang apart from Troy and Gabriella were waiting in a waiting room along with Lisa Bolton and Ms Darbus.
"How do you think she is?" Sharpay asked no one in particular.
"I don't know I just hope she is ok." Kelsi said as she held Michael in her arms. They were all sitting around worried because as soon as they got here Troy took off and the nurses refused to say anything.
"Let's just hope Troy hasn't missed the birth because he won't forgive himself if he did." Zeke spoke up.
"I somehow doubt Mr Bolton would have missed it because if I remember correctly he never missed anything when it was to do with Miss Montez." Ms Darbus told them as the others laughed at the memory. Chad being Chad decided to speak up and say exactly what he is thinking.
"You know if this takes anywhere near as long as what it did with Michael then I'm outta here. I'm sure I could go home, sleep and come back and she still won't have had them from what I know." Taylor slapped the back of Chad's head.
"Yeah and you do and you will be letting Gabi down and me. Chad think of someone other than you." Taylor told him as the others shook their heads at Chad's lack of patience.
"Chad I don't think that this will be anywhere near as long since they told Troy she had already gone into delivery." Lisa explained.
"Already? Why? Shouldn't it take hours for the babies to come because their twins? Do you think something's wrong? If anything happens to Gabi or these babies I will never forgive myself. She will be ok won't she?" Chad asked panicking as Lisa shook her head at him and the others looked at him in surprise.
"Whoa! How do you go from being an… well an idiot to being so caring and worried in the space of a few seconds?" Ryan asked as Chad glared at him.
"Chad I'm sure Gabriella and the babies are fine. Some people don't quite take as long to give birth it all depends. And anyway Gabriella has Troy and Jack with her so she'll be fine so stop worrying." Lisa reassured him.
"This is so annoying. Can't they tell us at least what's happening?" Sharpay stood up and started pacing around. She was anxious to see the babies or at least know they were all ok.
"Sharpay sit back down now. We just have to wait." Kelsi demanded as Sharpay sat back down.
"Why are you so anxious anyway? You weren't like this when we were waiting for Kelsi." Taylor asked.
"Because after everything Gabriella has been through I don't want her to get hurt anymore. I was anxious when Kelsi had Michael but I knew she would be alright and I could still see Gabi. I'm now sat here waiting for news because I don't want Gabi to get hurt." Everyone was a bit taken back by what Sharpay said.
"You really do care about Gabi don't you?" Jason asked as Sharpay nodded.
"We all have our own families. Two set really when we count our other halves families but Gabi only has Troy's family, no offence Lisa, but I know how hard it has been for Gabi without her parents around to support her and I want her to know we are there for her and we won't leave her." Zeke smiled as he wrapped his arms around Sharpay.
"She knows that you are there as are all of us. We won't let Gabi feel alone. I don't think she has that choice anyway with the way Troy fusses over her." Sharpay laughed slightly as Michael started to get a little restless.
"I think someone wants a cuddle from their favourite aunt." Kelsi said as she placed Michael in Sharpay's arms. The little boy instantly fell back asleep being in Sharpay's arms.
"Aww what a sight." Everyone looked up and saw Troy standing there with a goofy grin on his face.
"Troy Bolton you tell us this instant what's going on!" Sharpay hissed as she stood up with Michael still in her arms.
"The three of them are all fine. Gabi's tired but fine and the other two are perfect." Troy said teasing them a little.
"Troy you tell me this instant what your children are otherwise I will kill you." Chad threatened as Lisa, Ms Darbus and Taylor shook their heads at Chad.
"Mom you have a very healthy Grandson and Granddaughter." Lisa looked at Troy and grinned.
"Aww my baby has a little boy and a little girl." Lisa pulled Troy into a hug as everyone smiled.
"You want to come meet them?" Troy asked seeing the anticipation on his mom's face.
Troy and Lisa walked away and left the others all there. Ms Darbus had also left since it was getting late.
"I can't believe they have a son and a daughter. They are going to be the luckiest kids in the world." Chad said as the others nodded in agreement.
"I bet they look so cute. I can't wait to see them." Sharpay made known as she handed Michael to Jason.
"I bet Gabi is just glad its not two boys because otherwise she would have been completely put numbered." Zeke stated as the others laughed.
"Guys we need to make sure we're there for Gabi and Troy and make sure they get help because we don't want their relationship to disappear because I don't think either of them could handle it and the fact they have kids involved will make it worse if we let them fail." Taylor announced.
"We need to make sure that Zeke you and Chad help out as much as possible when you've got nothing to do since you wanted them to move in with you and not get their own place and me and Taylor help Kelsi with Michael when we can and maybe once a month we give all the parents a night off so they can do their own thing." Sharpay instructed the others.
"You guys we don't…" Taylor cut off Kelsi.
"Kelsi we want to help you too. Yeah having twins will be more work and harder for Troy and Gabs but you having a baby yourself will also be hard and we have to make sure we all share out the baby caring. We want these three kids to all be happy and have fun." Taylor told Kelsi who smiled.
"Well I know if Gabi feels like me she will welcome all the help she can get." Kelsi told the others who laughed.
"So you guys want to come meet the two new additions to the group." Sharpay walked up to Troy and smacked him.
"That is for sneaking up on us twice and this is for getting Gabi pregnant in the first place." Sharpay then hit him again.
"Do you want to meet them or not?" Troy asked Sharpay specifically knowing the others were waiting for Troy to lead them down. Sharpay glared at him. "I'll take that as a yes. Come on then." He walked down a corridor and led them to Gabriella's room.
Troy gently knocked on the door and heard a faint come in before he opened it. Sharpay pushed Troy out the way a walked straight in and saw Gabriella holding both babies.
"Can I hold one?" She asked instantly as the others walked in. Gabriella handed her Alexia.
"Do I get to hold one too?" Chad asked as the others shook the head at the pair. Gabriella then handed Chad Christian.
"You are trusting Chad to hold your baby? You must be brave." Jason said as Kelsi smacked his arm carefully since he was still holding Michael.
"Are we going to have to keep calling them baby or do we get to know names?" Ryan asked as Gabriella smiled. Troy sat next to her and wrapped his arm around her as Jack and Lisa sat in the chairs next to the bed.
"That little girl in Sharpay's arms is Alexia Maria Bolton." Gabriella told them as Taylor smiled realizing what they had done even before she knew the other name.
"And Chad who is strangely good with the boy in his arms is Christian Fabio Bolton." Taylor grinned knowing she was right.
"After your parents?" Gabriella smiled and nodded.
"After my parents." The others then realized.
"They're gorgeous you two." Zeke said as he was handed Alexia from Sharpay.
"Do they have nicknames?" Sharpay asked as she sat on the edge of the bed next to Gabriella.
"We'll call them Lexi and Chris." Gabriella told her as the babies were passed around. The gang stayed a while longer as they bonded with the two new Bolton's. In the past few months they had 3 new additions to their gang. Michael, Christian and Alexia.
