Four months had past; Camryn was still in her coma, Gabriella had a few breakdowns at work before she was calm enough to teach, Troy had his assistant couch running practice but still giving him a play by play of what's going on, Lissy started her online classes and would be found in Camryn's hospital room with her lap top and text books in her lap thinking aloud, Maria and Walter came home from their honeymoon early and moved into their new house down the street from Troy and Gabriella, Lucille (Troy's mom) has come to stay with Troy and Gabriella for a little while to help with anything and even though Jack wasn't there because of job reasons he was very interested in his granddaughters health. Jacob, Kenadie and Konner didn't really know what was going on but they did decorate Camryn's hospital room with pictures they drew.
March 11, 2022 (Lissy is nine months pregnant)
Beep, beep, the sound of Camryn's machines seemed to relax Gabriella as she continued to grade her students' papers. It was nearing 3 pm and Troy had just quickly ran over to the college to check up on the team taking Kenadie and Konner with him.
Lissy was seated in the hospital cafeteria with her text books and computer working on her English class work. And Lucille was sitting across the table from Lissy drinking her coffee, "Lissy, I want to tell you that I'm so proud of you. These babies will be so happy you sticked with school," Lucille said as she watched her granddaughter diligently doing her school work.
"Thanks Grandma," she responded before putting away her books as her 'school day' was done, "Ugh I'm so tired of looking at the computer!"
Lucille chuckled, "Why don't you and your mother go get Jacob, I'll stay with Camryn; it's time for her TV show anyway."
Both Bolton women got up and left for Camryn's room. Gabriella was still engrossed in her work when Lissy and Lucille walked in. Lissy grabbed her mother's keys and dangled them in front of her mom's face trying to get her attention. Lucille turned on the TV when Gabriella finally noticed and followed her daughter out the door.
When they reached the car the 16 year old begged her mother if she could drive now that she had received her driver's license. Gabriella sighed then answered with a yes; a little sad that her baby girl was really growing up.
They were almost to the elementary school when Lissy began to feel very unpleasant pain, but continued to drive and focus on the road instead of showing pain across her face.
The school parking lot was full of parents waiting for the bell to ring and their children to spill out of the classroom.
It had been ten minutes since the last rush of pain Lissy felt and she began to feel it again. Secretly Gabriella looked at the clock noting in her head the ten minutes, trying to make sure Lissy didn't know that she knows. Gabriella wanted to see if Lissy was going to be able to notice that she was having contractions.
Eventually Gabriella was able to convince Lissy to let her drive so they could quickly get back to Camryn after Jacob came happily skipping to the car.
"Hey baby," she said when he climbed into the car," How was school."
"Fun. We got to pain today," he said holding up his artwork.
"That's very beautiful buddy, you are the best artists I ever known," Gabriella said as they exited the chaotic parking lot.
Instead of going immediately back to the hospital like she said, Gabriella headed to their house. Lissy wasn't really paying attention she was trying to remember what all her baby books said to do when you have pains, she was panicking a little bit but she wanted to prove to her mother that she was able to take care of it herself without her mommy's help.
Gabriella's face dropped when she saw David standing in the driveway with Abigail in his arms. She told Lissy and Jacob to stay in the car and Lissy was completely fine with that.
Instead of walking up to David and asking why he was there she went directly to the front door, her daughter was in labor and she wanted to get Lissy's hospital bag and video camera instead of leaving her 16 year old in the car in pain. However David followed her into the house, "Gabriella I need to talk to you," David pleaded continuing to follow her up the stairs.
"I can't talk right now David," she said annoyed. She walked into Lissy's room and picked the bag up along with the video camera that was conveniently sitting right by her bedroom door.
"Come on you have to help me. Jennie left two days ago and stick Abigail with me; I don't know what to do!"
Gabriella continued to not stop but she answered him, "Well my advice would be to go home and take care of your daughter, she's only one, she can't take care of herself."
"But what am I supposed to so with her all by myself, I haven't done that since I was 14. I can't remember how."
The anger began to well up in Gabriella, she couldn't believe how immature and childish he was being, "What am I supposed to do, hold your hand and tell you everything will be alright and watch Abigail for you all the time. It's not going to happen David. So grow up, be a man and take care of your responsibilities. I would stay here some more and continue to yell at you but I have to take care of MY daughter who is in labor," Gabriella yelled.
Gabriella got back in the car and saw her daughter holding tightly to the arm of the seat, "Ugh mom the babies are coming," Lissy groaned.
"I know sweetheart how far along are the contractions?"
"Um about 5 minutes," she answered, "How did you know I was in labor?"
"Sweetheart I have 5 children, I know the signs even if you try to hide it.
Gabriella drove as fast as she could without breaking the speed limit. The whole way Jacob was a little scared, he didn't know what was going on.
When they reached the Maternity side of the hospital Gabriella handed her phone to Jacob and told him Grandma Bolton's number to call her and tell her to come get the little boy. Then they walked as fast as Lissy could through the revolving doors. It turns out that one of the friends they made there at the hospital was at the check in station.
"Kathy it's time," Gabriella said then the nurse quickly checked her into room 14 and handed Gabriella the dorm that would eventually need to be filled out and then they helped Lissy to her room.
Gabriella helped her daughter put on her gown and up in the bed before Kathy hooked up the fetal monitor machines and hear monitor machines for Lissy.
"Hang on Lissy okay, the doctor will be in, in a minute," Kathy said when she was done.
When Gabriella made sure her daughter was somewhat comfortable and after Lucille had come for Jacob, she stepped out in the hall to call Troy.
"Hey babe, I'll be done here in like five minutes," He said answering the phone.
"Troy Lissy is in labor," Gabriella responded.
"Oh my God we'll be right there."
After hanging up with her husband she called her mother to inform her of the news.
When Gabriella walked back into her daughter's room she went over to the side of the bed and held her hand through her contractions that seemed to be coming closer and closer together; by the time Troy came running into the room they were about a minute apart.
"Where is Kenadie and Konner," Gabriella asked Troy as they stood in the hallway when Lissy was getting her Epidural.
"I dropped them off with my mom; they all are in the day care. And your mom just went down to tell Camryn what's going on."
"You guys can go back in now, it won't be much longer now," Kathy said to Troy and Gabriella when she walked out.
Gabriella couldn't help but laugh when she heard her daughter say," Oh my God this thing is amazing."
It wasn't more then 25 minutes until Lissy's doctor announced that it was time. Gabriella, Troy and Grandma Bolton were in charge of holding the young girl's hand and feeding her ice chips and Grandma Montez was in charge of the video camera. It was hard for both Troy and Gabriella to see their baby in pain but they couldn't wait to see their grandbabies.
"Okay Lissy the first baby is a……… boy," he said quickly showing her the baby boy that was her son before handing him to a nurse who was going to clean him up and wrapping him up for her. Troy turned the camera quickly to the baby boy and wiped away a tear from his eye.
"Okay Lissy one more push and you'll have both of your babies."
The 16 year old pushed like she was instructed and, "And it's a girl."
All of the Montez/ Bolton family wiped away their tears as they saw the newest members of their family.
Emerson Cameron Reagan Bolton born at 6:58 pm was 6 lbs. 7 oz. 24 inches long with thick brown hair covering the top of his little head. Sawyer (soy-er) Camryn Elizabeth Bolton was born at 7:07 pm was 6 lbs. 9 oz. 22 inched long with a small amount of black hair on her little head. They both were exactly what they looked like in Lissy's dreams.
