Chapter Three
Hailey or Zach?
Taylor was bored of sitting in bed. Chad was being great though. He had taken a "maternity leave" from his job to take care of Taylor 24/7. The gang had also been a great help. Sharpay and Zeke would cook her meals, Gabriella and Troy would come and visit Taylor so she wouldn't get bored as well as Ryan, Kelsi and Jason. Taylor and Chad's parents would take turns watching their two kids, Madison and Nathan for them.
Taylor was almost nine months pregnant and nervous. Taylor was starting to get sharp pains in her back and stomach. She thought maybe she was in labor. About twenty minutes later, she was sure of it, her water had broken.
"Chad!!!!!!!" She screamed for her bed.
"What, are you ok?!" Chad asked frantically running from the kitchen to the upstairs where Taylor was. He reached her room out of breath.
"My water broke, the baby is coming!" Taylor said happily also wincing in pain.
"Oh my god, let me get the bag! Oh and Madison and Nathan, we need to drop them off at Troy and Gabriella's!" Chad said grabbing the bag and helping Taylor out of bed. He smiled, excited for the birth of their long awaited child.
Once he had helped Taylor get in the car and gathered up the kids he called Troy on the way to their house.
"Troy!" Chad yelled when Troy answered the phone.
"Hey, buddy, what's up?" Troy asked not knowing what was going on.
"Taylor's in labor man, we're bringing over Madison and Nathan now." He stated.
"Oh, wow, ok we're home. See you soon." Troy said. Chad hung up the phone. After the kids were dropped of they were at the hospital.
Chad rushed Taylor in. Chad had to fill out paperwork and then Taylor was sent of in a wheelchair to a room in the maternity ward. About half an hour later everyone showed up at the hospital.
Kelsi, Jason, Ryan, Troy, Gabriella, Sharpay, Zeke, Chad and Taylor's parents as well as everyone's kids walked up to the front desk of the maternity ward.
"Hi, could you please tell us what room Taylor McKessie-Danforth is in?" Gabriella asked.
"Room 302, on the third floor." The receptionist replied.
Everyone nodded and headed upstairs.
"Hey Tay." Sharpay said walking in, seeing her best friend squeezing Chad's hand as hard as she could.
"How's everything going?" Gabriella asked walking over to her friend.
"Painful. And I can't get any medication around here because there are no freaking nurses here to assist me!" Taylor shouted startling everyone.
"Hey Chad, want a break with the hand?" Troy asked walking over to Chad.
"Nah, I'm fine." He said letting go of Taylor's hand to shake it out. Taylor winced, as another contraction occurred, grabbing the nearest hand, Troy's. Troy winced and mouthed "ow."
Everyone stayed for a little bit, to support Taylor and Chad. They left when a nurse came in to check on Taylor.
"So Taylor, let's see how you're doing." She said checking.
"Well, you're only at three centimeters." She stated.
Taylor sighed and nodded and asked for pain medication. After she got it she was much happier.
In the waiting room everyone was sitting there for what had seemed like hours.
"Wow, this is taking longer than when Taylor had Madison and Nathan." Kelsi said.
"Yeah." Everyone agreed.
"Man, did she squeeze my hand hard. She seems more in pain then you were Gabi." Troy said looking at his wife.
"Yeah, I guess." Gabriella said agreeing.
About eleven o'clock that night Taylor still wasn't really ready to have the baby. The doctors said probably sometime the next night.
"Sorry you have to stay up so late with me Chad." She said.
"Tay it's fine, I want to be here for you and the baby. I love you both." Chad replied.
"This is going to hurt like hell, I've never experienced this before. But they way labor's going tells me that the birth isn't going to be any easier." Taylor said nervously.
"Yeah, it'll definitely hurt, but I'll be here for you. It'll all be fine babe, I know you can do this." Chad said kissing his wife. Taylor smiled.
Chad walked into the waiting room to tell everyone what was going on.
"Hey did she have the baby yet?" Jason asked sitting up.
Chad shook his head no. "No, not yet, the doctors said probably tomorrow night is when our kid will make its appearance. You can guys can go home and sleep if you want." Chad told them.
"No, we'll stay, Taylor's our best friend, and we'd doing anything for her." Zeke said looking around at everyone else. Everyone nodded, agreeing.
The next night it was time. Taylor was going to have the baby. Chad rushed into the waiting room to tell everyone.
"Guys, guys! Taylor's about ready to have the baby!" Chad yelled.
"Really?" Ryan asked standing up with everyone else.
"Yep, I'll tell you when it's here." Chad said running back to Taylor.
"Ok Taylor, I need you to give me a big push, ok?" A female doctor asked Taylor. Taylor nodded. This went on for about forty minutes.
"Ok Taylor, a couple more minutes of pushing and you'll have you a beautiful baby." The doctor said.
"No, I can't do this anymore, it hurts too much!" Taylor cried out in pain, tears pouring out of her eyes.
Chad tightened his grip on Taylor's hand. "You can do this babe, I'll be here for you, come on, just push." Chad said encouraging Taylor. Taylor nodded and proceeded.
After about three minutes the baby was almost born.
"Come on Taylor, one more big push and the baby will be here." Another doctor said to Taylor. Taylor pushed and smiled when she heard the cries of a baby.
"Dad, would you like to tell your wife what you have?" The smiling doctor asked Chad.
Chad nodded, crying now, he was so happy. "We have a beautiful baby girl, she looks just like you." Chad smiled and kissed Taylor.
"Congratulations babe, you did it, you did amazing." Taylor smiled admiring her baby girl with Chad.
After the baby got cleaned up Chad and Taylor decided what they would name her.
"How about Dakota?" Chad asked looking at his daughter, smiling happily.
"No, how about Hailey?" Taylor asked hopefully.
"Yeah, Hailey, I like that." Chad agreed.
"How about Hailey Dakota McKessie-Danforth?" Taylor asked Chad.
"I love it." Chad answered.
The gang was waiting outside of Taylor's room to see the baby. As soon as Chad had told them that Taylor was about to have the baby, they had been waiting outside of the room. Chad opened the door to retrieve them.
"Hey, guys come on in and meet our baby." Chad said smiling at his friends. They looked at him happily and entered the room.
"So what did you have?" Gabriella asked excitedly.
"Another beautiful girl, we named her Hailey Dakota McKessie-Danforth." Taylor said cheerfully.
"She weighs six pounds and 3 ounces." Chad added proudly.
"Congratulations." Troy looking at the small bundle in Taylor's arms.
"She's beautiful." Everyone said.
Chad and Taylor spent the next three days at the hospital with Hailey as well as Madison and Nathan. Everyone was ecstatic about the new addition to their family.
