Chapter 33 – We're A Real Family Now

GABRIELLA was filled with such happiness as she held her little girl in her arms. Little Lucy Michelle Bolton, (For hockeyfan09 lol) she had decided on the middle name as she had been rocking Lucy to sleep when she had held her for her second time. It was official!

She was busy feeding Lucy, she decided she wanted to breast feed because she wanted her daughter to bond with her more and part of her felt that Lucy would grow apart from her. She was taking her home today and she couldn't wait. She wanted to see her cradled in her little cot asleep nestled up with her dragon teddy bear!

"How are my favourite girls doing?" Troy asked coming up to sit beside them, he kissed Gabriella's head affectionately.

"We're doing okay. She'll be ready to settle for a nap in a minute. Do you want to set her down when she's full?" Gabriella asked gently.

"Sure." Troy smiled, he looked down on Lucy and smiled, how beautiful could a baby get, she was just so amazing. It hurt so much to know that there had been another twin there lying in stomach.

She unlatched little Lucy from her breast and handed her to her husband as she slept gently. Troy placed Lucy in her cot and Gabriella turned on her side to watch her baby sleeping.

Troy stroked one of Lucy's soft brown curls and he smiled as she yawned long and drawn out in her sleep.

"She looks like heaven." Troy said smiling; though he could not help but wonder…they had…well…it wasn't exactly…he still had that terrible feeling in the pit of his stomach that Lucy belonged to Gabriella and Richard.

"She's more than heaven." Gabriella said smiling, her eyes drooping in her comfort.

"Looks like the baby isn't the only one who's tired." Troy laughed.

"Hmm, I'm exhausted." Gabriella laughed opening her eyes.

"Well go to sleep. I'm going to get a coffee, 'Troy said though his smile shifted with guilt, "And then I'll come back and check on you both."

"Okay." Gabriella murmured and Troy gave her a swift kiss on the lips before he walked out of the room leaving both his wife and his child asleep.

Instead of turning to the café to go and get something to drink however, Troy made his way to Doctor Reader's office.

He knocked on the door and the doctor opened it and smiled.

"Oh Mr Bolton its you, come in, come in. Congratulations on your wonderful news." Doctor Reader said.

"I…I want to know whether I'm Lucy's father!" Troy said coming straight to the point.

It wasn't that Troy didn't believe Gabriella when she had told him that the baby was conceived back to the day they had first made love in Spain. It was just the horror of one day waking to a baby with Richard's evil eyes. Lucy looked so angelic and the fear cast a dark shadow over him. But despite everything, if Lucy did turn out to be Richard's he would love her and bring her up as his daughter because he had made a promise to her when they had married. To stay with her forever through everything. He would not dare go against his promise and for another thing, he was already emotionally and physically attached to Lucy and her mother for that matter.

Doctor Reader's smile dropped, "I see…well…we can –"

"I want it done now! Before we leave later." Troy said firmly.

The young Doctor saw the intensity behind the new father's eyes and felt pity for him, reluctantly, he nodded.

TROY returned at least fifteen minutes later and found Gabriella asleep peacefully in her bed. He picked up Lucy who was awake in her crib and sat beside the bed where Gabriella lay.

"Who's your Daddy little girl, huh?" He crooned at her and she looked up at him with gentle warm blue eyes.

Troy smiled, "You probably don't even know who I am. You only know your Mummy right?" He kissed her nose and he brought her close to him, he hoped even if she wasn't his daughter that she would one day see him as her Daddy.

She started to whimper and his heart crashed down.

"Oh don't cry baby. Don't cry little Ladybird!" He crooned in his gentlest voice, he tickled her tummy tenderly and she cracked a smile and gurgled.

"You like that huh? My precious little Ladybird!" He whispered, using his new nickname for her, it felt right.

She yawned gently and Troy smiled, "Daddies here baby. Daddy is here."

He felt the bed shift slightly and he turned and found Gabriella awake and smiling at him.

"Bonding?" She laughed.

"Yeah, she's wide awake." Troy laughed rocking her back and fore.

Gabriella came and sat beside her husband and rested her head on his shoulder. She was smiling down on Lucy and stroking her husbands arm tenderly.

"I still can't believe we made her Troy. It just doesn't feel possible. She's so beautiful." Gabriella said smiling warmly.

Troy felt pain and guilt burn him up and he smiled, "Yeah…she's beautiful alright, 'And he looked down on Gabriella and kissed her nose, "Like her mother."

"I can't wait to take her home. Your parents will love her. Mama is coming over before we leave. She shouldn't be long." Gabriella exclaimed.

Gabriella smiled a family! They were a family, though she had no idea what troubles were coursing through her husbands head.

"OH my, she's a little angel." Mrs Montez said softly as she rocked her new granddaughter back and fore in her arms.

Gabriella leaned over her mother's shoulder looking down protectively over her youngster.

"Isn't she, and the strangest thing happened today with Corbin…well…

………Flashback………

TAYLOR and Corbin had arrived to see Gabriella that morning and Gabriella took Corbin from Taylor's arms. She placed the child by her stomach but Corbin took no interest in her stomach. He sat there looking up at her.

"Why…why isn't he babbling to your stomach anymore?" Taylor asked perplexed as Corbin started to cry.

"I don't know." Gabriella said trying to shush the tiny baby before he woke Lucy.

Little Corbin cried and cried and the mothers looked at each other worriedly. Taylor picked up Corbin and took him over to the crib. As his little eyes fell on Lucy he stopped crying and started babbling again.

"Oh my, it's her. That's what he's been so bothered about. It's Lucy!" Taylor laughed as Gabriella picked up her child and placed her on the bed.

Taylor brought Corbin over and sat him beside Lucy, his petite hands touched her stomach and he gurgled and babbled happily to her.

"See, he's hitting on her!" Taylor giggled.

"Oh a first date, how adorable." Gabriella laughed playing along…

………End of Flashback………

"Whoa, that's weird." Mrs Montez said as Lucy wrapped her tiny hand around her grandmother's index finger.

"Yeah, he won't come near my stomach anymore. Just Lucy." Gabriella said shrugging her shoulders.

"Maybe he was hitting on her." Mrs Montez chuckled.

She handed over her granddaughter back to her daughter and smiled, "I have to go. I meeting my friend Silvia for lunch."

"Oh…well…we'll see you soon won't we?" Gabriella asked.

"Sure! I want the family to come to dinner on Sunday. Is that alright?" Mrs Montez asked.

"Yes, we'll be there." Gabriella said.

Mrs Montez kissed her granddaughter and then her daughter, "Bye Sweetie." And she left mother and daughter alone to sleep.

She smiled as she left; everything was going to be alright after all.

"MR Bolton. We have the results!" Doctor Reader said inviting Troy into his office.

"Thank you, 'Troy said sitting, "Well…the results."

"Oh yes, of course." The Doctor said picking up a file.

"Name: Lucy Michelle Bolton. Born: August 17th Weight: 6lbs 5oz. Mother: Gabriella Montez, Father: Troy Alexander Bolton. Congratulations!" The Doctor said his face breaking out in a smile.

Troy felt relief pass over him and he could not help the huge smile breaking out on his face.

"Thank you, thank you so much." Troy said happily.

He rushed out of the office and into the ward. He found Gabriella putting Lucy down for a moment. She was ready to leave now; Troy threw his arms around her and kissed her hard and passionately. When they pulled away Gabriella laughed.

"What's all of this?" Gabriella chuckled.

"I just remembered that I haven't kissed my wife like that all day." Troy said holding Gabriella.

"You're crazy, 'Gabriella said, She had dressed Lucy ready and turned to Troy, "I'm ready to leave, what about you?"

"Yeah I'm ready to leave." Troy exclaimed smiling.

"Let's go, 'Gabriella said grabbing the bag, "Can you hold Lucy?"

"Sure, 'He picked her up gently and smiled, "I'm your Daddy." He whispered to her.

Gabriella looked up at him and smiled, he knew truthfully he should've just gone with his instinct and with Gabriella's comments of him being the father. He felt incredibly foolish at the moment. He knew he would never tell her that he had once doubted her word for he knew she would never forgive him. He didn't want to hurt her.

"Are we going then?" She laughed.

"Oh yeah, 'He said balancing his child in his one hand and his wife around his arm, "Lets go."

As they walked out Gabriella smiled warmly, "We're a real family now, aren't we?"
