Anyway enjoy the last chapter! Please R&R!

Chapter 40 – Epilogue
Gabriella stood in their kitchen looking out the window. She smiled as she watched Troy and Kyle playing with Chad, Jason, Zeke and Craig while Jack observed with a 2 year old Jayden in his arms. Gabriella couldn't help but laugh when she saw Kyle score and Troy push him over. Troy walked over to his dad and took Jayden from his father who instantly settled in Troy's neck. You would rarely see Troy without Jayden in his arms. Gabriella placed her hand on her stomach and grinned. 8 months ago just after Jayden's 2nd birthday she found out she was a month pregnant with their second child.
Flashback
Gabriella and Troy were just lying in bed early one morning with Jayden just having a lazy day since Gabriella didn't have work. Gabriella had agreed to only go back part time so that she was only working 4 days and could have Friday's off. Friday's were then made a day for Troy and Gabriella to spend together while one of their parents would take Jayden for the day.
"How are you feeling today?" Troy asked. The past few days Gabriella hadn't been well and now had a suspicion as to why she wasn't well but hadn't told Troy. So far she had skipped her last two periods and was now sick.
"I'm feeling a bit-" Gabriella stopped as she suddenly rushed into the bathroom. Troy looked at Jayden worriedly knowing something must be really wrong the fact it was the 5th day in a row she had woken up and been sick.
"I think we better go see if mommy's alright." Troy said looking down at Jayden.
"Momma." Troy smiled as he picked Jayden up and walked to the bathroom door that was open and saw Gabriella sat back against the bath.
"You ok?" Gabriella sighed and nodded.
"I'll be out in a few minutes. Let me just brush my teeth because all I can taste is vomit." Troy smiled and walked downstairs with Jayden while Gabriella quickly shut the door and locked. Going to the cupboard underneath the sink where she kept all her stuff, she pulled out three boxes. Pregnancy tests boxes.
Downstairs Troy put Jayden down who was walking around looking for some of his toys when he heard Gabriella rush downstairs about 5 minutes after he left her.
"I love you! I love you! I love you!" Troy was slightly taken a back as Gabriella flung her arms around his neck while Jayden looked at his mom confused.
"Ok I love you too but what's going on?" Troy asked confused by his wife's behaviour.
"What am I not allowed to be happy and let you know how much I love you now that I have found out we're having another baby?" Gabriella told him waiting for his response.
"Of course you can tell me how much you love me if you found out we're having another baby." Troy said as though it was nothing before it registered what he said and looked at her. "You're pregnant?!" Troy asked as Gabriella grinned and nodded. Troy smiled as he picked her up and twirled her around as she giggled before he kissed her again.
"Icky dada." The two broke apart by Jayden talking and looking at them funnily.
"Come her buddy." Troy called as Jayden walked over to Troy slowly. "Do you want daddy to tell you something?" Jayden nodded as Troy picked him up. "Mommy is having a baby." Troy told him as Jayden looked at Gabriella unsurely.
"Baby?" Gabriella nodded.
"Mommy has a baby in her tummy just like you were." Jayden giggled as Gabriella told him tickling his tummy while Troy grinned. Troy couldn't even begin to imagine what it would have been like if he'd of given all this up because having his family was something he couldn't ever see himself without anymore.
End Flashback
Gabriella grabbed her glass before she walked outside to everyone. The gang and both their families were all round their house celebrating Troy's 25th birthday that was tomorrow but he wanted to spend the day with just Gabriella and Jayden so he agreed to do something before with the others. Gabriella sat next to Chloe and Melissa on one of the sun loungers.
"How you feeling Gabi?" Chloe asked placing her hand on Gabriella's tummy.
"I'm fine. Tired but fine. How are you doing?" Chloe was now at NYU and was only home during home during holidays.
"Miss being so close to home and everyone. I think having Craig up there with me is the only thing that stopped me going mad." Gabriella smiled.
"What about you Melissa? How are you and Kyle?" Kyle had just turned 17 a few weeks ago. Ever since Jayden was born, Kyle practically lived with the three because he and Jayden (even at a young age he had a favourite family member apart from his parents) loved being around each other. Everyone knew as long as Jayden was with his parents or Kyle he was happy because he never left one of them because he would cry if he did.
"We're doing good." Melissa was still fairly quiet around everyone apart from Kyle.
"Hey Gabi I think someone wants you." Amanda told her nodding over to Troy and Jayden.
"Momma!" Gabriella smiled as Jayden walked over to her and pulled himself onto the sun lounger she was on with Chloe's help since Gabriella couldn't really lift him with her 9 month bump and being due any day. Jayden sat closely next to her but not before placing a kiss on her tummy which he did whenever he was around, something he had picked up from Troy. Gabriella had no objections because she found it really cute.
"Jayden do you want mommy to have a baby sister or baby brother?" Chloe asked her nephew while all the girls who had been talking stopped and listened.
"Baby sisa." Chloe looked at Gabriella surprised because she expected him to say brother.
"Why?" Chloe asked.
"Dada say she play wiv me." Chloe and all the others awed at his sweetness.
"Daddy wants a little girl doesn't her Jay?" Gabriella commented as the little boy nodded at his mommy before snuggling into her arm and wrapping his arms around it.
"Why am I not surprised Troy wants a girl? He just wants someone to call his princess. What are you thinking of Gabi?" Amanda asked seeing the faraway look on Gabriella's face as she watched Troy interact with all the guys.
"Our wedding." Gabriella answered.
Flashback
Gabriella stood nervously in the room at the back of the church. Today was the day she and Troy were finally getting married. It was December 31st, a year since Troy and Gabriella got back together and nearly a year since Jayden was born.
"Knock, knock." Gabriella turned in her dress to see her bridesmaid's, Taylor, Kelsi and Chloe and her maid of honour, Sharpay, standing in the room having reappeared.
"You look amazing Gabi. My brother is going to die when he sees you." Chloe told her whilst she held a very tired Jayden in her arms. There was a catch to this wedding. It wasn't being held during the day like a normal wedding but at 11pm at night. It was Troy and Kyle who had come up with the idea of being able to say 'I do' just before midnight. Gabriella agreed because she thought it would be perfect for the couple since New Years Eve was their thing and would make their wedding even more memorable.
"Are you sure?" Gabriella asked as Sharpay nodded and walked up to her.
"This is Troy, Gabs. Even if you were wearing just your sweats Troy would still think you look amazing and want to marry you which is what's important so looking gorgeous to us will just be a bonus." Sharpay assured her.
"Thanks." Gabriella took a deep breath as the door opened again and Kyle and Paul walked in. The two stopped short when they saw her.
"Wow." Kyle breathed as Paul stood there completely speechless. He'd never seen his sister look as perfect as she did now. "My brother is going to have a heart attack." Kyle stated as Gabriella smiled.
"I hope not because I don't plan on spending my wedding night in a hospital." The girls shook their heads.
"No you plan on spending it in some hotel room where the two of you will get up to x-rated stuff." Gabriella gasped as Chloe smacked him around the head and Paul glared at him.
"Dude that is my little sister and I don't care how old she is I do not want to hear about or even think about that kind of stuff." Paul hissed as Gabriella laughed
"And I don't want my son to hear that stuff either." Gabriella said taking Jayden carefully from Chloe. "What do you two want anyway?"
"My nephew if he's ready to go." Kyle told her as Gabriella nodded and kissed the top of Jayden's head. She handed the now sleeping boy to Kyle.
"Be careful with him. I'm putting my trust in you two with him." Gabriella warned.
"Gabi relax. He's going to be with his father too so he will be fine." Paul reassured her. Everyone knew Gabriella had become very protective of Jayden and hated being away from him. The only reason she survived going to school and staying out was because she knew Troy was there to take care of him.
"We'll see you guys in a bit." Kyle said walking out with Kyle and Paul leaving Gabriella to finish getting ready.
"Taylor go get the mothers and tell them to bring the gifts." Sharpay told her as she nodded.
"What gifts?" Gabriella asked confused.
"Gabriella, you and my brother might not be doing this a traditional way by getting married on New Years Eve late at night but there is some things that will remain traditional." Chloe told her as Taylor, Amanda and Maria walked back in the room.
"Ok everyone gather round." Sharpay instructed as a knock interrupted them before they could start. "What?"
"Just to let you girls know we have 10 minutes before we have to be in positions and 15 till it all starts." Jack told them as they nodded. "By the way Gabriella, you look beautiful."
"Thanks Jack." He smiled as he closed the door and Gabriella turned her attention to everyone in the room.
"Right let's get started. Taylor, Kelsi, the first box please." Sharpay said as Taylor took out one box from a bag.
"The first thing we had to get was something old which was a hard thing to come up with but amazingly it was Kyle who gave us this idea." Gabriella rolled her eyes. Kyle had helped out with just about everything because he couldn't keep his nose out of people's jobs. "Open this." Gabriella took the box and bit her lip.
"What is it?" Amanda asked. No one apart from the people in charge of the thing they had been told to get knew what was being given.
"It's Troy's lucky ring." Gabriella stated.
"Troy had a lucky ring?" Amanda said.
"This ring was given to Troy by Gabriella before one of his games that she couldn't attend and told him it was his lucky ring from her. Troy told us he wanted Gabriella to wear it now because he said he was getting a new lucky ring from her in a few hours." Kelsi explained as Gabriella slipped it onto her middle finger on her right hand.
"Amanda, Maria you're next." Sharpay told them.
"For something borrowed we decided to give you these." Maria told her handing her their box. Gabriella smiled at them.
"The necklace is what I wore the day I married Jack." Amanda told her.
"And the earrings are the ones I wore when I married your father." Maria finished as Sharpay helped her put them on.
"Thank you so much. Both of you." Gabriella told them honestly.
"Chloe, your something blue please." Chloe grinned as she pulled out a large bag. Gabriella eyed her warily as she opened it seeing the look on her face. Gabriella's jaw dropped as she opened the box.
"What did she get you?" Sharpay asked as Chloe grinned and Gabriella closed the lid when she realized that her mom and Troy's mom was in the room. Sharpay pulled the box from Gabriella impatiently and laughed when she opened it.
"Chloe what did you do?" Amanda turned to her daughter.
"Let's just say that it's not exactly all for Gabriella's pleasure." Gabriella glared at Chloe who grinned and Sharpay pulled out a blue garter first.
"That's it?" Maria asked as Chloe shook her head. Sharpay then pulled out a sexy pair of lingerie. Amanda looked at her daughter.
"You are awful and definitely have the same kind of evil in you as Kyle." Chloe grinned at her mom showing off her Bolton smile.
"Are you even old enough to be buying that stuff?" Sharpay asked as Chloe nodded.
"Ok moving on, Sharpay what about the something new?" Taylor asked.
"I'll be right back." Everyone gave each other confused looks as she left the room. Seconds later the door opened again but Sharpay didn't walk in at first. Kyle & an awake Jayden did with Sharpay following.
"Kyle?" Gabriella looked at him completely confused as he handed Jayden to her who had a large rectangular box in his hand.
"Present from his daddy." Gabriella took the box from her son before opening it. Inside was her old charm bracelet she gave Troy back when they split with a note attached.
"What is it?" Kelsi asked as Gabriella handed Kyle the note to read since she had tears in her eyes from just looking at the bracelet and holding her son.
"Dear Gabi. I hope you're having fun with all the girls. I'm sat here still trying to figure out how to write this. Don't tell Kyle I haven't done this already because I told him I had and I did want to be alive for my wedding." Gabriella laughed. "I can't believe in just over 2 hours we will be man and wife. I'm going to be the luckiest guy in the world from then on being able to call you my wife. It feels as though we have been married for a while though. I mean it's us. We have an amazing son together already. I think I need to explain myself with this.
This is your something new but in a way it's not entirely new. It's your old one but with some new charms added. The first new one added is a bottle. This represents the night of Kyle's party when we finally acted on our feelings and I got to be able to remember how to love you again.
Next is a light bulb. Every time I see you, you light up my world. Even if I'm having worst possible day just seeing you smile at me reminds me that no matter how bad life can be, as long as I have you and our son my life will be complete.
Next is a baby rattle. Seeing you with Jayden makes me fall even more in love with you if it's possible and hopefully in the not too distant future we can give him a younger sibling or more than just one if you're up for that.
Next is a heart. You already had a key a long time ago to my heart that has never been given back and will never be accepted if you do try and return it because you're the only one for me. You Gabriella Montez complete my heart. You and our son, along with all our friends and family make my heart complete. For 5 years my heart was near enough empty because you hold the most space in it.
Finally the last one is a clock with both hands on 12.By midnight tonight we will be starting our life as a married couple and as the Bolton family. Midnight is also the time you really seen in my eyes as the girl I fell in love when we were younger and midnight last year you made me the happiest guy by agreeing to give me another chance with your heart. I love you Gabriella. Now and Forever. Nothing can ever stop me from doing so.
Right I better go finish getting ready since I have already become very mushy in this letter and I'm now hoping no one else ever finds out about this letter because otherwise I'm screwed. I'll see you in a few hours Miss Montez for the very last time.
Troy." Kyle finished as Gabriella sat there with tears falling down her face and Sharpay desperately trying to stop them before she ruined her make-up.
"Tell Troy when you see him he is dead for making her cry and ruining her make up." Sharpay told him as Gabriella pushed her off her face and held her son tightly.
"Can you tell daddy mommy loves him very much too?" Kyle nodded at her as he took Jayden back and left the room.
"Come on let's finish getting you ready and get you married to the love of your life." Taylor said as Gabriella nodded.
It was 10.55pm and Gabriella was now stood at the back of the church waiting for the ceremony to start.
"You look amazing baby." Gabriella smiled as her dad appeared next to her.
"Thanks dad." He kissed her forehead before offering her his arm and the two turned to the door.
"You know I may have been a bit wary of Troy at first but I'm glad you're marrying him sweetheart because I know he will take care of you and my grandson." Gabriella looked at her dad with tears in her eyes.
"I love you daddy." She hugged him before the music started and the two got ready to proceed.
Jason and Kelsi were the first to walk down the aisle followed by Taylor and Zeke and Chad and Chloe. Kyle and Sharpay were the last ones to go down with Kyle still holding Jayden in his arms. Gabriella slowly walked down the aisle as the music played holding onto her dad not looking up scared of passing out if she saw all the people. Finally looking up her eyes locked on Troy who was standing there grinning with Kyle standing by his side with Jayden. Once Gabriella reached the alter, her father handed her off to Troy.
"Dearly beloved we are gathered here today to join in holy matrimony Troy Andrew Bolton and Gabriella Alexia Montez..." The priest started. During the rehearsal yesterday Kyle had interrupted them when asked if anyone objected proclaiming he had an unconditional dying love for Gabriella before getting hit over the head by Melissa and his mom before sinking back into his chair which had prompted Gabriella to give him a look when asked this time around.
"I know pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss your bride." The priest recited as Troy pulled Gabriella into a passionate kiss. "Ladies and gentleman I present to you the new Mr & Mrs Bolton." Breaking apart the two grinned before they made their way down the aisle for the first time as husband and wife.
As soon as everyone was out of the church, they all gathered in a local park opposite as they counted in the New Year.
"10

1! Happy New Year!" Everyone shouted as Troy pulled Gabriella into another kiss while everyone else did the same but Kyle and Melissa who kept any PDA to a minimal. Plus Kyle was holding Jayden still in his arms but handed him off to Gabriella when he started screaming because of the noise of the fireworks. Gabriella held him close to her side, covering his ears with her hand while Troy wrapped his arms around the two so Jayden was more in the middle of the two. Jayden moved closer to Troy who took him in his arms and the little boy buried his head in Troy's jacket as Gabriella smiled. To Troy and Gabriella this was perfect and so to was their life.
End Flashback
"What are you girls gossiping about?" Troy asked sitting on the end of Gabriella's chair and the other boys did the same.
"Gabriella's thinking about your wedding and everything." Chloe answered as Troy smiled and rubbed her tummy.
"Does she ever not think about it? I know I don't." Gabriella smiled as the others shook their head at the two.
"You definitely spend more time thinking of other stuff." Kyle commented as Troy glared at him and the others laughed. Gabriella wasn't though. She grimaced as she bit her lip and held her hand on her stomach. "Troy?" Kyle said noticing the look on Gabriella's face. Troy turned to look at Gabriella and instantly started to worry. Chloe took Jayden from by Gabriella and thankfully being asleep the little boy didn't complain.
"I think the baby is coming." Gabriella told them as Troy stood up.
"Kyle go get Gabi's bag from under the stairs. Mom can you please call the hospital and let them know we're on our way? Chloe you take care of Jayden or let Maria, his toys and bag are under the stairs too, while Paul help me get Gabriella to the car." Troy instructed trying to keep everyone from panicking. "Everyone else meet us at the hospital. Chad can you lock the house up, Gabi's keys are on the key rack by the door." Troy and Paul managed to help Gabriella stand up but Troy saw how much pain she was in and didn't try and make her walk and instead picked her up and followed Paul while Gabriella was breathing through her contractions.
25 minutes later Troy and Gabriella had arrived at the hospital and Gabriella had been settled into a private room. Troy was holding her hand and never once let go while she was having a contraction. Right now Gabriella had just had another contraction and had been given an epidural to help her through the contractions.
"Troy?" Troy looked up and saw Gabriella's tired eyes looking at him. "Can you go and check on Jayden? I want to make sure he is ok." Troy smiled as he stood up and kissed her forehead.
"I'll be right back." Gabriella nodded but as Troy opened the door Kyle was just about to knock. "Maybe I don't need to go after all." Gabriella smiled as Kyle walked in with Jayden in his arms.
"We guessed she would be worrying about him so I thought I would bring him now before things get any more advanced." Gabriella smiled as Troy took their son from his brother.
"I'll be back in a minute to give you guys some time alone." Troy nodded as he walked over to Gabriella.
"You want to give mommy a big hug carefully and a kiss before she has to help your brother or sister?" Troy asked as Jayden nodded. Troy held him next to Gabriella on the bed as he wrapped his small arms around her neck and gave her a sloppy kiss.
"Momma give Jay baby? Gabriella nodded.
"Mommy give Jayden a baby brother or sister soon." She kissed him one last time as Troy lifted him off the bed when Kyle and their parents came in.
"Come on Jayden why don't Uncle Kyle and you go and find some things to play with." Jayden excitedly took Kyle's hand. "Good luck with everything Gabs."
"How you doing sweetie?" Maria asked kissing Gabriella's forehead as Amanda did the same.
"I'm ok." Gabriella told them as she and Troy rubbed her stomach gently.
"Your contractions bothering you? Amanda asked.
"I'm surviving." Gabriella answered smiling as they talked a few more minutes before they all wished the two of them the best of luck and would see them soon.
Finally at 8.15pm, 4 hours after being brought in, Gabriella was finally 10cm dilated and ready to deliver. Gabriella was wheeled into the delivery room while Troy went to scrub up. When Troy got there he stood at her side and offered his hand as they were instructed once again on what to do. Gabriella was in the bed trying to remember her breathing techniques from her Lamaze classes. Troy throughout kept kissing her hand and whispering sweet nothings into her ear trying to encourage her that she could do this.
"Ok Gabriella I want you to give me one big push now on three. One. Two. Three." Gabriella squeezed Troy's hand tightly as she pushed with all her strength. "Ok and again." Gabriella pushed once again and a few minutes later a cry filled the room. "It's a girl." The doctor announced as Troy cut the umbilical cord.
"She gorgeous Gabi." Troy whispered grinning proudly as Gabriella smiled and collapsed back on the bed.
"Congratulations mom and dad. She's healthy." The doctor placed the baby on Gabriella's chest as she wrapped the blanket around her.
"She's perfect Gabs." Troy told her as Gabriella kissed their daughters forehead and Troy did the same before stroking her head very gently. After a few moments Gabriella handed her to the nurse for them to clean her up.
30 minutes later and Gabriella and Troy were back in her room with their new daughter.
"I'm going to go get Jayden first and tell everyone before I tell any of the others to come in too." Troy told her as he kissed her and then their daughter before leaving the room.
Troy walked down the corridor and saw Kyle and Jayden sat on the floor playing with some of his toys.
"Troy! How are Gabriella and the baby?" Chloe asked being the first to notice him.
"Dada!" Troy smiled as he bent down to pick Jayden up.
"Gabriella is fine and so is our daughter." Troy grinned as they all cheered. "I'm going to take Jayden down first to see her before I take anyone else." Troy told them.
"Dada uncwle Kyle." Jayden held out his arms for Kyle.
"Kyle come on then too since he's tired and will be too grumpy which isn't what I need." Kyle got up and followed Troy down to Gabriella's room. "Mommy we have two visitors instead if it's ok." Troy said peaking round the door.
"Hey Gabs." Kyle smiled as he saw the little girl in Gabriella's arms. "Aww she's so tiny and precious." Kyle awed as Troy sat on the bed next to Gabriella.
"Jayden this is your little sister, Chloe Jane." Kyle gasped.
"How is that fair? He gets my name as a middle name but Chloe gets her named after her." Gabriella rolled her eyes.
"Baby." Jayden said touching her head softly.
"Yes a baby." Gabriella said leaning carefully over and kissing his head. Jayden then kissed Chloe-Jane's (I'm going to put Chloe – Jane so she isn't confused with the other Chloe) forehead.
"Kyle why don't you go get all the others?" Gabriella suggested as Jayden watched his sister in awe.
"Momma she pretty." Troy smiled.
"I think he's happy with her." Troy commented.
"I think so too. Jayden you going to look after your little sister?" The little boy nodded his head frantically.
"Knock, knock." Gabriella and Troy turned to the door to see their families at the door. Gabriella nodded for them to come in.
"She's amazing." Paul said as Gabriella smiled.
"You guys seriously have cute kids." Chloe commented as the others agreed.
"Thanks. Of course they are because look at their mother and their father isn't too bad" Troy smiled as Chloe rolled her eyes at him.
"So does our granddaughter have a name?" Jack asked as Gabriella nodded for Troy to tell them.
"Kyle get ready to cover up." Kyle nodded as the others looked at him confused and Gabriella pushed his arm. "Everyone meet Chloe-Jane Bolton." Chloe started squealing as Kyle covered her mouth so that she wouldn't wake the sleeping baby in Gabriella's arms.
"See this is so not fair." Kyle whined.
"Grow up Kyle." Amanda scolded as Gabriella and Troy laughed at Kyle's face while they all took it in turns to hold Chloe-Jane. Troy watched on proudly that all of this was his.
After everyone had been in to see Gabriella and Chloe-Jane they had all left apart from their parents.
"Who do you want to go with tonight Jayden while daddy stays and looks after mommy and Chloe-Jane?" Troy asked as he stood with him in his arms while the others kissed Gabriella and Chloe-Jane goodbye.
"Uncwle Kyle." Troy shook his head. He really didn't get why he loved Kyle so much. He just guessed it was the same kind of weird relationship Gabriella had with him that was too strong to be broken.
"See you guys and remember this is a hospital room and you have just had a new daughter so don't get up to anything I wouldn't." Kyle cheekily warned them before he shut the door behind him quickly and left with all the others.
"He's never going to change is he?" Troy asked as Gabriella shook her head.
"He never has in the 11 years I've known him so I don't think he ever will." Troy smiled as he sat on the chair next to Gabriella. "What are you doing? Kyle is right that nothing will happen but you are sleeping in this bed with me because you know I can't sleep without you holding me." Troy got up and crawled into the bed next to Gabriella and wrapped his arms around her as she rested her head on his chest while looking over at their daughter. "Thank you Troy for making my life complete again."
"You're welcome and the same goes for you because before I met you again I lost myself and know I know who I am and what my life is worth living for. I guess we do owe my brother thanks for helping to fix our lives and brining us back together." Troy said.
"Yeah buts let's not because his head is already big enough because come on he's Kyle." The two laughed as they lay there just holding each other. What the two couldn't see was Kyle still stood there looking through the door, smiling knowing his mission was completed.
