This is chapter 11 entitled 'We'll Be Together…' please review! And I'm also so very sorry for the long wait, but I had a few things come up so I kinda had to push this back for a little while.
The day couldn't seem to get any longer or tiresome. Troy and Gabriella were at the hospital, Gabi was being tested for anemia. They both hoped and prayed she didn't have it, but they feared the worst. Finally after a full day of tests and waiting the doctor came in with the result.
"Well Gabriella. You're fine, just take it easy and reduce your stress. But other than that the babies and mom are just fine." Dr. Allen informed the couple as they kissed and hugged happily.
"So I'm okay?" Gabriella asked wanting to be sure.
"Yes, you're all doing well. No anemia." Dr. Allen said with a smile.
"Thank you doctor Allen." Troy thanked her politely.
"You're welcome, now I'll leave you to change Gabi and then you're free to go." Dr. Allen replied cheerfully before exiting.
"Thank God you're okay baby." Troy said as he wrapped Gabriella up in a tight embrace.
"Yeah, we're blessed." Gabriella said as she rubbed her belly happily.
The wedding day drew closer and the day of their medical scare grew further gone. They were happy and looking forward to their future with their kids. On this day Troy was taking Gabriella to see the house they'd be moving into before the babies came.
"Keep them beautiful browns closed!" Troy exclaimed teasingly as he pulled up in the driveway of the house.
"They are!" Gabriella retorted with a giggle.
"Okay, one more minute…" Troy said as he got out of the car and went around to help his very pregnant wife out.
Gabriella was only 6 months along, but with it being triplets she looked ready to deliver at any time. She had been having contractions, not active labor ones, just kinda like a cramping feeling in her stomach and back. She'd usually have them at night when she was trying to sleep, Troy being the loving husband he is, would lie there and just rub her achy belly, even placing a few loving kisses to it as well. They'd held off making love, doctor's orders, she told them it was okay once in awhile, but not nightly, like they had been. But Troy was okay with it because Gabriella had been anything but in the mood for sex. She was worn-out, bloated, uncomfortable, hormonal, aggravated, crying, sweaty, throwing up anything she ate, and on top of all that and more was the fact her belly was huge and it seemed to grow by hour. But there was an upside to it, she loved feeling her babies grow and move inside her, also her sex drive was on a high, Troy couldn't complain or resist her need, when Gabi was up to it that is.
They'd become stronger since moving in together and then getting married, everything thrown their way made them stronger. Not just as individuals but as a couple, sexually, emotionally, spiritually, more caring, more giving, more loving. Troy had learned exactly what love was with Gabriella by his side, although he'd never admit it to her, but she could tell he'd changed and it was a good thing.
"Alright babe, open them." Troy whispered into Gabriella's ear lovingly as they stood on the front lawn of their house.
"Okay, ohh Troy…" Gabriella trailed off almost in tears at the sight of their house.
"Like it?" Troy asked seeing Gabriella's happy expression.
It was a traditional looking two story home, white with light blue shutters. A picket fence, swing set and big back yard, two door garage, and a front porch with swing, just like Gabriella wanted. It was their dream house and they couldn't wait to move in.
"It's prefect, thank you honey." Gabriella said giving Troy a loving kiss.
"You're welcome. Now how about a tour of the inside?" Troy asked offering Gabriella his hand.
"Oh that sounds nice, just as long as this tour involves a bathroom visit." Gabriella said with a slight blush, Troy knew what she meant.
"There's a bathroom down stairs." Troy said as they started up the walk.
"Good, where?" Gabriella asked as Troy opened the door.
"Right down there." Troy said pointing down a hallway next to the stairs which led to the second level.
"Thank you, I feel better!" Gabriella exclaimed coming out of the bathroom a few seconds later.
"Sure, are you still bleeding?" Troy asked as Gabriella had been bleeding on and off the past few days.
"Yeah, but Dr. Allen said it's normal in multiple births. No matter how bad it gets." Gabriella mumbled the last part but Troy still heard.
"What do you mean?" he asked becoming worried.
"I-it's-well…I'm bleeding like I've got my period." Gabriella answered letting out a worried, uneasy sigh.
"And that's normal?" Troy asked becoming really worried.
"Dr. Allen said I should only get worried when I start bleeding through my clothes, and I'm not, so." Gabriella answered leaning against the banister.
"Okay, well if it's normal." Troy said not convinced.
"It is." Gabriella answered pulling Troy into a loving hug.
"Alright, now how about the rest of the tour." Troy said extending his hand out to Gabriella.
"Sure, let's go." Gabriella said accepting Troy's hand as he led her up the stairs.
They spent the next three hours looking around their house, and thinking and imagining their future in the house. They were meeting up with the gang to talk about the wedding, on the way to dinner Gabriella was feeling ill.
"You sure about this?" Troy asked seeing the discomfort his wife was in.
"Yeah, I'll be fine once we get there." Gabriella said gripping her stomach tightly.
"Okay, babe." Troy answered with a worried sigh.
After a few minutes of silence it was broke by Gabriella's scream of pain.
"What's wrong?" Troy asked as he quickly pulled over.
"I'm in labor Troy. Get me to the hospital now!!" Gabriella demanded through her gritted teeth.
"You sure baby?" Troy asked to be sure.
"Yes, the contractions are really bad." Gabriella said as her contraction ended.
"Alright we'll go to the hospital." Troy said as he turned onto the road and towards the hospital.
"Oh lord, hurry up!!" Gabriella yelled bearing over in pain.
"There is a speed limit Gabi." Troy said with a soft chuckle at Gabriella's impatiens.
"Shut up! Oh sh…" Gabriella trailed off cussing to herself. Troy laughed at this; Gabriella only cussed when she was in pain or ticked off.
"Did your water break?" Troy asked sheepishly.
"No, it just hurts like hell!" Gabriella began to yelled as another contraction hit.
Troy knew only to get really worried after her water broke; it meant she was in premature labor and the babies lives would be in danger. As long as her water didn't break the babies would be safe.
Finally after about fifteen minutes they pulled up at the hospital, and Gabriella's labor was intensifying. Gabriella was now cussing in Spanish, and Troy didn't understand a word of it. She only did that when her words of choice would be of an R-rated dialogue, but Troy only picked up on a few because they sounded much like the English translation, but then he wasn't too sure. Troy helped Gabriella out of the car and then in through the emergency room doors. A few nurses and a doctor surrounded them when after Troy called out for help, they instructed Troy to lie Gabriella down on a gurney one of the nurses wheeled over. The medical team began to exam her as a nurse at the desk called Dr. Allen.
Troy couldn't be with Gabriella, he had to wait in the waiting room until he got the okay to come in. Her water hadn't broken but she was bleeding more, and this worried the doctors. Finally after about 45 minutes Dr. Allen came out to talk with Troy.
"You're wife is stubborn." Dr. Allen said with a light chuckle as she sat down next to Troy.
"Yeah, I've noticed." Troy replied with the same tone.
"She is the only 18 year old I know who would be in labor for well over 8 hours and not tell anyone about it." Dr. Allen said and Troy's eyes widened in shock.
"She was? And she knew?" Troy asked surprised.
"Yeah, I'd say she's been having strong contractions for about 11 hours now." Dr. Allen said looking down at her watch.
"Are the babies okay?" Troy asked becoming worried.
"We have her on a drug which will stop the contractions, rather or not her body does is up to it." Dr. Allen said with a tense sigh.
"Did her water break?" Troy asked knowing if it did the babies would be coming and it would be too early.
"No, and that's a good sign." Dr. Allen answered with a positive tone.
"Can I see her?" Troy asked looking up at Dr. Allen with pleading eyes.
"Of course you can, go on in." Dr. Allen said standing up and opening the door for Troy.
Troy walked in to see Gabriella talking to and rubbing her belly, Troy knew that meant she was scared, not just for her life but for the lives of their children also. He walked up to her and she pulled him into a hug.
"Why didn't you tell me you were in labor?" Troy asked quietly as he hovered over Gabriella.
"I thought it would stop. But then I started bleeding really bad and then the contractions got really bad, so it all just started to go down hill." Gabriella explained starting to cry.
"Its okay baby, just next time it happens tell me, please?" Troy begged caringly.
"Okay, I will." Gabriella answered as Troy gave her a sweet kiss.
"We'll have to move the wedding up a month." Gabriella said after a few moments of quiet.
"Why?" Troy asked feeling confused.
"Dr. Allen wants me on bed rest. Starting the week we want to get married." Gabriella answered holding her stomach as the babies were kicking.
"That's two weeks from now." Troy said as they wanted to have their wedding 4th of July weekend.
"Right, so we'll have to get married next weekend." Gabriella said with a smile.
"Next week?" Troy asked surprised.
"Yes, next Saturday. I already talked to everyone and that's just fine." Gabriella said with a loving smile.
"Next week we are going to stand up in front of our friends and family and say how much we love each other. I like it!" Troy exclaimed happily as he hugged Gabriella.
"Yeah, we are." Gabriella answered a sense of seductiveness in her voice as they embraced one another.
Everything was at an almost prefect, like life usually is. Too bad it has to end all so soon.
