Thank you for being patient! You all seem to really understand the fact that I have SIX stories all going on at once! So without anymore delay chapter 10 'Crazy Dreams'.
Troy and Gabriella were sitting in the waiting room of her doctor's office. They were there for her 24th week check-up, and this was also the day they were supposed to hear from the collage Troy had applied to. If he were to get in over the summer they'd move into their house, which they had yet to tell his folks they were moving to, Troy would go to school in the fall and Gabriella would work to support the twins. And then once Troy was out of collage Gabriella would go, but all of this was off in the future.
Gabriella had been feeling really miserable the past few weeks, with the heat spiking well into the 90's, it was terrible out. Gabriella had also been feeling unexplainably weak and tried easily too, and this only made Troy worry more than he needed. And something that she hadn't told Troy was that she had been bleeding, but she had already been to the doctor who told her it was completely normal to have some light bleeding.
Troy just smiled at his wife as she flipped through a copy of 'Parent's' magazine, feeling his stare on her Gabriella looked up from the article she was reading about twins and asked:
"Why are you staring at me?" Gabriella asked smiling widely while placing a hand on her enlarged stomach.
"I am staring because I can't seem to get over how beautiful you are when you're pregnant with our twins…" Troy whispered into Gabriella's ear while nuzzling his nose into her hair.
"Oh, Troy. You're not getting lucky tonight." Gabriella stated back with a flirtatious joking tone.
"I know. I just think you look really hot in that white tank top and them cutoffs." Troy whisper pressing a kiss to Gabriella's temple.
"I love you Troy." Gabriella whispered wrapping her arms around Troy's neck.
"I love you too babe." Troy said cupping Gabriella's face in his hands and placing a sweet kiss to her lips.
Just as they were pulling out of their kiss the nurse called Gabriella's name. Gabriella hopped up on the table with Troy by her side holding her hand, this left Gabi a little confused.
"Why are you holding my hand? The doctor isn't even here yet." Gabriella giggled as Troy lent down and placed and loving kiss to her belly.
"I love you and the collage should be calling anytime now." Troy said with a stressful sigh as Gabriella laid back on the table, taking Troy's hand in comfort.
"You'll get in; I have a good feeling about it." Gabriella reassured Troy with a loving smile.
"Yeah, I hope." Troy said resting his hand over a little bump on Gabriella's belly.
"That would be your daughter…" Gabriella said laughing as this was the first time Troy noticed this.
"That feels like a foot, does she do this a lot?" Troy asked gently rubbing the place.
"Yeah, Christian sticks his elbow out directly in my ribs and Capri pokes her little foot out right next to my bellybutton." Gabriella said placing her hand on top of Troy's.
"Huh, tell me the next time she does, please?" Troy asked smiling as the bump disappeared and Troy removed his hand.
"Sure, of course I will." Gabriella said smiling sweetly as the doctor came in.
"Hello Bolton's!" Dr. Allen said washing her hands drying them and pulling gloves on.
"Hi doctor Allen." Gabriella said as she rested back against the pillow.
"We ready to see the twins?" Dr. Allen asked pleasantly as she pulled the ultrasound over.
"Yep, we're ready." Troy said taking Gabriella's hand and rubbing her thumb with his.
Soon the sound of their unborn children heartbeats filled the room. It was an amazing sound that neither could put into words. As Doctor Allen moved the sensor over Gabriella's belly something caught Troy's eye.
"What's that?" Troy asked pointing to the odd shape in the corner of the screen.
"Well let's take a look…" Dr. Allen said moving the sensor around to get a better look.
Troy looked down at Gabriella who was worriedly watching the screen patently waiting to see what was wrong.
"Aha, I see what it is." Dr. Allen said as a smile graced her face.
"What is it?" both Troy and Gabriella asked in unison wanting to know.
"Well, it's another baby." Dr. Allen said watching shocked expressions come over both Troy and Gabriella's faces.
"Another baby?!" Gabriella and Troy both asked again in unison with shock.
"Wait a minute…" Dr. Allen said as something caught her eye.
"What another kid?" Gabriella asked with an apprehensive giggle.
"Haa, you two got room for two sons and a daughter?" Dr. Allen asked looking up at Troy and Gabriella.
"It's a boy? We're having two little boys?" Gabriella asked smiling up at Troy.
"Yes, two sons." Dr. Allen answered wiping the gel off Gabriella's belly.
"No wonder our little girl is kicking all the time, she's crowded by her brother's!" Gabriella said placing a hand on her stomach.
"Yeah, so Christian, Capri and Caden." Troy said placing a loving hand on Gabriella's belly.
"Caden Matthew, I think it's perfect." Gabriella said sitting up and snaking her arms around Troy's neck.
"I love you Brie…" Troy said trailing off into a passionate kiss as Dr. Allen left the room.
"I love you too Troy." Gabriella replied back as they pulled apart and smiled at each other like a couple of fools.
"Okay, I just want to take some blood from Gabi and then you two can be on your way." Dr. Allen said coming back in the room with syringes and a needle.
"Alrighty doc." Gabriella said holding out her arm for Dr. Allen.
As Dr. Allan was taking Gabriella's blood a thought crossed Troy's mind and so he asked.
"Dr. Allen way didn't we notice the other baby before?" Troy asked and Gabriella shot him a perplexed look.
"Well, he was hiding behind your other little boy this whole time. That's way he wasn't noticed before." Dr. Allen answered Troy politely as she put a Band-Aid on Gabriella's arm.
"The boys are identical, right?" Gabriella asked as Troy stroked her back.
"Yes, you had ovulated two eggs both were fertilized and one split giving you the boys." Dr. Allen explained politely.
"We kinda knew some of that doctor Allen." Troy stated with an awkward smile while trying not to be rude.
"I know I'm just trying to refresh your memory." Dr. Allen said smiling as she opened the door for them.
"Thank you Dr. Allen." Gabriella said as they left her office.
"Your welcome hon." Dr. Allen said waving good-bye.
"Triplets! I could kill you right now but I'm just so happy!" Gabriella stated flustered on the ride home.
"Why do you want to kill me Gabi?" Troy asked looking at Gabriella confused.
"Well it was bad enough you got me pregnant, then it was twins, now triplets! I could strangle you!" Gabriella exclaimed trying hard to not smile happily.
"You don't really care, do ya? You're just thinking about how when we made love we made those three, aren't you?" Troy asked turning to Gabriella as they were stopped at a red light.
"I love you Troy…" Gabriella said turning to Troy with happy tears flowing down her face.
"I love you too Brie." Troy said pulling Gabriella into a caring hug, but proved to be a challenge with her belly.
"Well, I think our kids are growing." Troy said placing his and on Gabriella's stomach.
"I'd say." Gabriella said sitting back in her seat with hand on belly as the light turned green.
"Can you tell where Caden is now?" Troy asked curiously.
"Yep, right here…" Gabriella said rubbing the far right side of her stomach.
"You really like the name? Caden?" Troy asked smiling at the sight of his wife talking to her belly.
"Yeah I do, what made you come up with it?" Gabriella asked looking up at Troy.
"Well, Chad and Taylor said if their baby's a boy they'd name it that. But I guess we got to it first." Troy said with a smirk wondering if Gabi had gotten what he said.
"Wait, do you just tell me that Tay is pregnant?!" Gabriella exclaimed surprised.
"Call her yourself and find out…" Troy said pointing to Gabriella's cell phone lying on the seat.
"Are you pregnant Taylor?" Gabriella asked as soon as Taylor picked up the phone.
"I knew you'd be calling, yes Gabi I'm pregnant." Taylor answered with a giggle.
"Well, I'm happy for you. You're having a baby and I'm having triplets." Gabriella said rubbing her belly happily.
"Triplets?" Taylor asked with surprise.
"Yes, two boys and a girl." Gabriella answered looking at Troy happily.
"I'm so happy for you Gabs, congrats to you and Troy." Taylor said before hanging up the phone.
"And best wishes to you and Chad." Gabriella said just before ending her conversation.
"You hungry?" Troy asked as they were coming close to 'Betsy's Diner' a little hangout just outside of town.
"Yes, starving." Gabriella answered with a giggle.
"Okay, we'll just st…" Troy trailed off as his cell began to ring.
"Answer it Troy!" Gabriella urged as Troy was just staring at the ringing phone.
"Oh, Okay. Hello?" Troy stammered being jolted out of his trance and picking up the phone.
Gabriella watched intently as Troy talked with the admissions office from the University of Albuquerque. He was replying 'yes', 'sure' and 'of course' leaving Gabi completely out of the loop. Then after what seemed like the longest phone conversation ever, Troy hung up and turned to Gabriella to tell her the news.
"So, did you get in?" Gabriella asked becoming impatient.
"Brie…" Troy said pausing with dramatic effect.
"Troy Adam Bolton! Tell me now!" Gabriella urged impatiently.
"I got in…" Troy trailed off with elation watching the expression that came over Gabriella's face.
"You did? Really baby?" Gabriella asked with utter joy as Troy brought her into a hug.
"Yes, I got in." Troy answered nodding happily as Gabriella placed affectionate kisses all over his face.
As they kissed and embraced in Troy's car parked at 'Betsy's Diner', something came across Troy's mind that left him wondering.
"What's on your mind?" Gabriella asked as she was getting ready for bed that night.
"You…" Troy said wrapping his arms around Gabriella's belly at best he could.
His bear chest was resting against her thin night gowned back, his arms wrapped tightly around her six month pregnant belly, her head leaning on his shoulder. It was a blissful state to be in, and it was only going to get better once Troy told Gabi what was on his mind.
"Marry me?" Troy asked quietly as he kissed Gabriella's head.
"But we already are silly." Gabriella stated with a giggle.
"I meant at a real Church with all our friends and family, bridesmaids and groomsmen a reception, a real honeymoon. The works for Mr. and Mrs. Troy Bolton, how's that sound?" Troy asked rubbing Gabi's belly lovingly.
"You mean it? For real?" Gabriella asked turning around to face Troy.
"Yes, of course I mean it. I want nothing more but to give you the best that this life has to offer Brie." Troy said with such truthfulness in his voice that it brought tears to Gabriella's eyes.
"Okay. I'll marry you…again." Gabriella answered as Troy kissed and sucked at her neck.
"Okay, then next month after we get settled in the new house we'll have the wedding, is that okay?" Troy asked wiping Gabriella's tears with his thumbs.
"Perfect, it sounds prefect." Gabriella replied as Troy pulled her into a tender hug.
"Troy and Gabriella come here please?" Andrea yelled for her son and daughter-in-law the next morning.
"What's going on mom?" Troy asked as he and Gabriella found his mom and dad in the living room.
"You're moving?" Andrea asked becoming emotional.
"Well…" Troy said becoming nervous.
"Yes, Andrea we are moving. We thought it would be best, since we'll have three babies on our hands. So…" Gabriella answered with an anxious vibe.
"Three? You're having triplets?" Mark asked looking back and forth between Troy and Gabriella.
"Yeah dad, we're having triplets." Troy answered wrapping his arm around Gabi's waist.
"Well then that's all the more reason to stay…" Andrea stressed pleading with them.
"No mom, we've made up our minds. We're moving." Troy snapped sounding bitter.
"Fine, we'll let you two be grown ups, but if you ever need anything please don't hesitate to ask." Andrea said holding back tears.
"Okay, mom thanks." Troy thanked his mom with a hug.
"So when are you going?" Mark asked smiling at them.
"Um, hopefully within the month." Gabriella answered for Troy as he went to answer the phone.
"Gabi babe, can you come here a second please?" Troy asked from the kitchen.
"Who was on the phone?" Gabriella asked Troy as she found him at the kitchen table, looking worried.
"That was Dr. Allen." Troy answered staring blankly at the wall.
"What did she want Troy?" Gabriella answered becoming worried.
"She needs you to come in to the hospital tomorrow for testing." Troy answered realizing he had to tell Gabriella what was happening.
"Way Troy?" Gabriella asked her hand flying to her stomach in worry.
"She thinks you may have…" Troy trailed off as he caught a look at Gabi's worried eyes.
"She thinks what Troy?" Gabriella asked angry and worried tears running down her face.
By this time Troy's parents were waiting too.
"She thinks you're anemic Gabi…" Troy finally answered as Gabriella broke into worried sobs.
Troy was there holding Gabriella as she cried with worry not for herself but for her unborn babies.
