A/N: Here's the next chapter of Bless The Broken Road. I'm soooo sorry that it has taken me soo long to get this updated along with my other stories, but I'm running low on ideas, and I'm running low on time between sports, school, and everything else going on. So please please bear with me.

Disclaimer: I own nothing, except for the characters not in the movie.


Chapter 18:

A Little Run In, With A New Addition

A few months had gone by and everyone was back at school. Things were going great because this year was their senior year.

"Can you believe it, we're finally seniors?" Chad asked his group of friends while sitting in the student lounge.

"I know, it feels like we just graduated high school," Zeke explained.

During everyone's conversations, they didn't notice the basketball coaches daughter walk in.

"Troy, daddy wants to talk to you for a minute," she said flipping her fake blond hair over her shoulders.

"Okay," he said getting up from this position next to his wife and walking out, but not before kissing her lovingly on the lips.

Once he walked out Sharpay said to everyone, "her father's the last person that wants to talk to him right now."

"Gee Sharpay, what gave you that idea?" Taylor asked sarcasm dripping from every word.

"You know, she reminds me of someone, but I can't put my finger on it," Jason stated.

Everyone looked at one another and said at the same time, "SHARPAY!"

"I resent that, but totally agree."

In The Hallway

"So, what does coach want to talk to me about?" Troy asked completely clueless.

"Daddy doesn't want to talk to you silly," Hilary said.

"Umm…okay…," he said uneasily.

"You know Troy, if you were with me," she stated walking closer.

"We could have a lot," she finished, now pinning him to the wall.

"Hilary get over it! Do you see this?" he asked holding up his left hand.

"It's a wedding band, meaning I'm happily married to the love of my life! Nothing's EVER going to change that either. She means the world to me. So guess what? You need to get over yourself and learn that you don't always get what you want. Oh, and go ahead, tell your dad, but I'm sure he won't be too happy when I tell him everything you've tried to do. So stay away from me and you go anywhere near my friends, and especially Gabriella, my wife, you'll be sorry!" Troy exclaimed and stormed off back to the student lounge.

"Well Troy, I'm glad to hear how that went down," Ryan said as soon as Troy walked back in.

"Yeah she really pisses me off. You would think she'd get the hint. I mean Sharpay did. No offense. One thing's for sure though Brie be careful don't fall for any of her tricks," he said to her.

Gabriella, turning to Troy said, "There's nothing to worry about Wildcat, I'm not falling for anything."

"That's my girl," he said, then kissed her.

"Well, now that that's settled…" Ryan started but was interrupted by Taylor screaming.

"Oh My Gosh!"

"Tay, baby what's wrong?" Chad asked his voice dripping with concern and worry.

"My water just broke."

That's all she had to say and the group was going nuts. Chad, helping her to the car, Gabriella running to get Taylor's overnight bag, while Sharpay is dialing the number of the hospital to let them know she's coming.

"Troy, will you call our parents and tell them to meet us at the hospital?" Chad asked while walking out the door.

"Sure thing man," he replied.

"Wow, I'm extremely impressed at how calm Chad is right now," Kelsi told everyone.

Agreeing, Sharpay said, "I know, I would expect him to be running around like a chicken with his head cut off right now."

"Okay, let's get going," Zeke announced heading out the door.

Once at the hospital Taylor was taken into a wheelchair while being brought to a room. Chad, on the other hand was filling out papers.

About 20 minutes later everyone arrived running in asking tons of questions.

"How's Taylor doing?" Elissa asked.

"She's only at about 2 centimeters right now, so we've got a while and she's doing great," he answered.

Just as he finished his sentence his parents along with Taylor's walked in.

"Chad, how's she doing?" asked Laura McKessie.

"She's doing fine, she's at about 2 centimeters so we've got a while. But, I'm going to go in with her," he said.

Before leaving, he gave his mother a hug along with his father and John McKessie.

"He's nervous, isn't he Troy?" Matt Danforth asked his "other" son.

"It's obvious he is, but when Taylor said her water broke he handled it very calmly."

For quite a while everyone just sat in the waiting room, awaiting the arrival for the new addition to their big family.

With Chad and Taylor

"AHHHH," Taylor screamed as another contraction hit.

"Just squeeze as hard as you need to," Chad told to her as she held his hand.

A minute later a nurse walked in and checked her.

"Okay Taylor, you're fully dialated, so I'm going to get the doctor and Chad, you need to put scrubs on," she said walking out.

"Chad, you're NEVER touching me again!" she screamed.

"Okay Taylor, on the count of 3 I want you to push as hard as you can. 1…2…3!"

She gave one great push with a loud scream while Chad's holding her hand and pushing her hair out of her face with the other.

"You're doing great Tay," Chad said.

"One last push Taylor."

With that one last push the room was filled with the sound of a baby's cry.

"Would you like to cut the umbilical cord off your baby, Dad?" the doctor asked Chad.

"I'm so proud of you Tay, you were amazing," Chad said kissing her.

The nurse came back with their baby wrapped in a pink blanket all cleaned up.

"Congratulations mom and dad, it's a beautiful healthy baby girl."

She handed the little child to Taylor as she just held her and admired her.

"She's beautiful Chad."

"Just like her mother, she has your eyes," he said looking at her big round brown eyes.

"Why don't you go get the others," she said to him.

As everyone saw Chad they all jumped up from their seats.

All he said was, "It's a girl, and I'm a dad."

Everyone cheered as they walked to her room.

When they walked in, they stopped to take in the sight of the new mother with her newborn.

"Congratulations Taylor!" her mother and Chad's said giving her hugs.

"She's beautiful," Jason stated.

"Gabi, Troy, would you like to hold your God-daughter?" Chad asked.

"What?" they both asked puzzled.

"We want you two to be her God-parents."

"Us?" Troy asked.

"Yeah, if it weren't for you two, she wouldn't exist," Taylor explained.

Looking at her husband, Gabriella answered, "We'd be honored."

Handing the girl to Gabriella she couldn't help but smile.

Troy too was very into the idea of holding a baby.

Holding the small girl it really made Gabriella want a baby of her own.

"Troy…" she said looking from him to the baby in her arms.

"I promise Brie, within the next year and a half, we can have our own," he answered kissing her temple.

"So, does this cutie have a name?" Ryan asked.

"Her name is Elizabeth Marie Danforth. Born October 13, 2010 at 7:15 P.M. at 6 pounds 8 ounces and was 8 inches long," Chad answered very proud.

Taylor and Chad now had their own little family, which fit perfectly into their big Wildcat Family.
