Okay, so here is the last chapter (really) of this story, hope you like it. Sorry it took so long. :-P.

Disclaimer: Totally not mine.

Gabriella took deep breaths, clutching the car door handle with one hand and holding her stomach with the other as another conctration passed.

"Where nearly there now, just keep taking deep breaths and you'll be fine." Troy reassurred, glancing in her direction. She sent a glare his way, which he missed as he put his eyes back on the road.

"Just put your fucking foot down," she hissed out. He was shocked at the tone of her voice but it then clicked that she was obviously in pain.

"Okay we're here," Troy annouced a few minutes and two conctractions later. He quickly parked the car and jogged to her side to help her out.

"Bout time," she muttered one arm around his neck the other still clutching her stomach, as he lead them to the entrance and to the reception desk. He just tried soothing her and telling himself not to show the hurt her tone was causing him.

"Hey, how may i help you?" A lady or as the name tag read, Alison, around early 30's asked, not looking up from her computer. Gabriella cut Troy off and began to explain,

"I'm in labour, my contractions started about half an hour ago." Troy noticed her light tone, completely different from the icy and out of character tone she took with him moments ago. Alison shot up from the desk, gripping a wheelchair on her way.

"Sit here and i'll take you to the martenity ward where your midwife will see to you." She explained, helping her sit down. As they entered the elevator, her face contorted and clutched together telling any on looker she was in pain. Also telling Alison and Troy another contraction hit. She grabbed Troy's hand tight, ignoring the large intake of breath he made from the menacing grip and pressure she had on it.

"Aaahh, holy shit, Troy this it your fault," she screamed, taking deep breaths, hoping it will subside the pain. His jaw dropped,

"What? I haven't done anything," he gasped and glared at Alison, hearing her chuckle.

"New daddy?" She asked and he nodded, letting her explain what she was trying to get at. "It's her hormones, don't let it get to you. And you got her pregnant, which started the pain, again, hormones telling her it's your fault." She explained and he nodded with a small 'o' shape on his lips.

"So she'll always blame me? Forever?" He asked somewhat confused and shocked. So much for reading them pregnancy books, he thought.

"No just through the labour, just keep on soothing her, that helps, even though she's throwing insults and threats, left right and center." She advised and he nodded once again. As Alison finished speaking the bell rang out, the doors to the elevator openimg not seconds later.

"Who is your midwife?" asked Alison.

"Angela Wilkinson."

"Okay, she is in her normal room." Alison said and lead them to it. "Angela, patient for you." She said as they entered. She turned at the voice coming from the door and couldn't help but smile.

"Thanks," Gabriella said to Alison as she left, Troy and Angela giving her a small nod.

"Okay, Gabriella. Put this on and we'll see how many centimetres dialated you are. I'll be back in, in a minute." She instructed giving her a hospital night gown.

"You want help?" Troy asked after she stood up. She nodded mutely, and hung her arms. Signaling she was worn out and didn't have the energy or strength to do so herself. He chuckled and stood behind her to unzip the zip on the dress she shoved on, making it easier for her. She whimpered slightly as she felt the feeling comeback, when he helped her on the bed.

"It's okay baby, i'm here, just take deep breaths." Troy instructed in a whisper, leaning on the bed, brushing the hair off her forhead with one hand and holding her's with the other. She did as instructed and lucky for and Troy, it passed not half as much pain filled than the others on the way over.

"You okay?" Troy asked immediately after and she nodded.

"Sorry for snapping," she whispered and he smiled.

"It's fine, you weren't doing it intentionally."

"It just hurts so bad," she continued glossy eyed and he kissed her forehead.

"I know, well i don't but i'm here and you can have my hand. Squeeze as hard as you like," he said and she laughed quietly. They where whispering sweet nothings to each other when Angela came back in.

"Okay lets have a look, do you know how far your contractions are apart?" She asked standing at the foot of Gabriella's bed. As she was about to say no, she gasped.

"Sorry, i should of warned you i was going to do that." Angela said with an apologetic smile, taking her hand from beneath the sheet that was covering Gabriella from stomach downwards.

"It's okay, but i think they're a good couple of minutes." She answered. Angela nodded,

"Great, you're 6 centimetres dialated. So have you got any questions before i go and get some staff and things ready for your delievery?" She asked.

"Could i have something to help with the pain?" Asked Gabriella.

"When you go into labour you can have gas and air, i'm afraid you're to far along for anything else." She explained. They thanked her and she left.

"Should i call our parents?" Troy offered and she nodded letting him get his mobile from the shorts he had on. "Mine aren't answering,"

"Call my dad, he never turns his off." He nodded and spoke when the constant ringing in his ear stopped.

"Tony Montez," he answered in a proffesional voice, causing Troy to look confused as to why he did when it was Troy calling.

"Tony it's Troy,"

"Oh hi Troy, i didn't know it was you, what's up?"

"Can you come down to the hospital, Brie went into labour and i'm sure you wanna be here when your grandchild arrives." He said chuckling.

"Okay we'll be there asap." Tony said rushed not giving Troy time to say bye. He chuckled again,

"They're on their way," he informed. "So do we just wait?" He asked Gabriella and she nodded.

"Til i'm 10 centremetres. Then i can push when she gives the heads up." She explained.

WITH THE 'RENTS

"What? Tony? What's going on?" Maria asked as Tony pushed is chair back, and shoved some money on the table in a speedy rush.

"Oh right," he'd totally forgot to tell them, as his brain had gone fuzzy since he'd heard the news. "We have to go, Brie went into labour." He was met with gasps as Troy's parents and Maria copyed his actions by pushing their chairs back and rushing to their feet to get out of the front door.

"We'll lets go," Jack said.

"We'll go in our car you in yours' we'll meet you there." Lucille said and they nodded as they set off to their cars. As Tony unlocked his car his phone, what Tony had just decided was the most annoying thing he'd ever bought, rang.

"Look Troy, where on our way-" he was interrupted, that was most certainly not Troy Bolton's voice.

"Mr Montez?" The caller questioned.

"Speaking, who is this?" Tony questioned.

"This is Officer Shaw. You called in last week wanting information on the Jamie Farrell case that included your daughter and Troy Bolton." She explained, Tony stopped what he was doing and swallowed. This was it. He was going to be finding out the future of the creep, that nearly killed his daughters' boyfriend. A few weeks after Mr. and Mrs Montez had arrived home, Troy and Gabriella had told them about the incident and to say her parents where furious, disgusted, the list goes on, with this boy, was an understatment. The Trial for this case was a few weeks ago from being ajourned weeks after it had happened, the jury wanting Jamie to take a mental health check, just in case he did have something seriously wrong with him or if he just had anger management problems.

"Mr Montez, you still there?" She asked knocking him from his thoughts.

"Oh yeah i'm still here, sorry. So tell me you have news." He demanded clearing his throat. The news being, he did, infact just have anger management problem and was in a real prison where he belonged. Maria leant against the car door watching his everymove, trying to get something, as she new who it was straight away from the change in his mood.

"The court and the jury have not long ago made their decision, after getting the hospital reports back. It seems Jamie just has a temper problem and has been sentenced to 10 years for attempted murder." Tony let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. "It seemed that Jamie, after recent interviews, is completely obsessed with your daughter and didn't like the fact not being with her and took it out on the person who was with her in the way he couldn't." She added.

"Thanks, thank you so much. I'm so glad this has ended and he's as far away from my family as possible. Thanks again for the update."

"Just doing my job, enjoy your evening." This ended the call. He sighed and let out a revealing laugh.

"So?" Maria asked eager, getting in the car as he opened it and started it up.

"10 years," he stated. "For attempted murder and he doesn't have any illnesses, he did it out of pure jealousy." She put her hands over his as she saw him getting tense through thinking about it.

"It's okay now it's over," she said soothingly, and he relaxed instantly, nodding.

"Yeah, let's get to that hospital." And with that happy thoughts re-entered their heads and sped off.

HOSPITAL

"Aaaahhh shit, i can't do this." Gabriella screamed, letting her head fall back onto the pillow, panting.

"Yes you can, you're doing so well." Troy soothed.

"Alright lets check how far you are now." Angela said as she entered and felt around again. "Wow, it seems this little on is eager to come out. You're 10 centremetres, you can go into labour in the next few minutes. I'll just bring in my staff," she continued pulling her pager out and within in seconds 3 more nurses came in and immediately got in to position. Angela put her gloves on and sat down at the foot of the bed.

"Okay Gabriella, on your next contraction i want you to push as hard as you can." She instructed. Gabriella nodded and took deep breaths readying herself. Troy sent her a grin and kissed her forehead.

"I love you," he whispered and she smiled,

"I love you too," she whispered. "Thank you," she said to Angela causing them to laugh. She tightened her grip on his hand and took steady breaths as the pain resurfaced.

"Come on Brie," Troy encouraged.

"Okay, push on 10." Angela instructed and Gabriella nodded as she began to count.

"7, 8, 9, 10."

"Aaaaaaahhhhhhh," she screamed and instantly put the gas mask over her face after it was over, taking long deep breaths.

"Okay one more push and Baby Bolton will be out." Angela, once again, instructed about an hour later. Gabriella sighed flopping her head back onto the pillow panting, completely exhausted, waiting for her signal to push.

"One more push Brie," Troy encouraged, kissing her hand.

"Ah, Troy your are so never coming near me with that thing, ever again." She threatned, and started to push when, hopefully, her last contraction came. He chuckled slightly, still planting kisses on her hand.

"Good, good, keep going," Angela muttered as Gabriella screamed out the pain of the last contraction. "And the baby's out." She shouted, passing her over to her awaiting staff, ready for check up, clean up and weighing. "You wanna' cut the cord daddy?" She asked, he nodded taking his hands and rubbed them together before doing so, all the while wearing a smile Angela had seen so many times on new daddies. Gabriella gave a weak smile before falling back onto the bed, panting heavily, sweat dripping off her forehead and her eyes ready for shutting for a well deserved sleep. Troy just looked at her with pure admiration and a smile on his face, pushing her bangs that had stuck to her face due to the sweat, behind her ears.

"You did it, i'm so proud of you." He whispered kissing her temple and she gave a lazy smile.

"I'm proud of me too, i'm not going through that again for a least 5 years." She muttered yawning causing him to chuckle. "I wanna' see the baby, before i pass out. Can we do that?" She asked in a whisper, he grinned kissing her softly, about to tell her that he'd go and ask the midwife, when the door opened and they looked to see said midwife walking in a with a smile on her face.

"Hey, someone what's to meet her parents," she said in a singing whisper. They smiled at her as Gabriella sat up to take the baby off Angela.

"Aawww she's so beautiful," Gabriella whispered cradling the baby, kissing her head softly before looking up at Troy, with teary eyes. He nodded agreeing, running his finger of her tiny face, his other arm around Gabriella's shoulders.

"Yeah and she's our's Brie. Can you believe that?" He asked uttterly shocked that this creation was his and Gabriella's and no-one else's.

"You two have any names?" Angela asked when she returned, after leaving once she handed Baby Bolton to her parents, so they could greet and coo over their child privately. Gabriella looked up at Troy and nodded, with a look of pure happiness on her face and he grinned back, the exact same look on his face.

"Carmen Bailey Bolton." He said his eyes locked on his first child. Gabriella smiled and looked up at him again.

"It's perfect." She whispered and he nodded, as did Angela. "You wanna' hold her?" She asked, he smiled and nodded and moved so he was standing properly and gently took her out of her mommy's arms. Carmen, being moved from her mom's warm embrace began to get cranky and started to cry.

"Hey precious, it's okay, daddy's here." He cood and she opened her eyes, to look at him. Realising she must of recognised his voice she sort of snuggled into him and settled down, going back to sleep. Gabriella watched happily, but couldn't help the yawn that escaped.

"Hey, why don't you get some sleep and i'll see if our parents our here." He suggested seeing her fighting to stay awake. Gabriella knowing she wouldn't win and knew that sleep would be and sounded good right now she didn't refuse only nodded lightly letting Troy kiss her gently and mumbled an i love you before she fell into dreamland.

--

Troy couldn't take his eyes off the sleeping little girl in his arms as he rode the elevator down two floors, to the waiting room where he had been told their parents were waiting. Looking up when the ding rang, smiling when he saw the backs of his family and his curly haired best friend and Gabriella's best friend from school Taylor, and her other best friend but akso Troy's collage class mate, Sharpay. He grinned as he crept up behind them hearing them having a light discussion of what sex the baby was going to be.

"They are going to have a boy, that's my final decision." Jack stated sounding pretty confident and Troy hardly kept his laugh in.

"See that is where i think your wrong-" Shar started.

"How about i put all your decisions at rest." Troy's voice rang out and all 5 heads shot round and stood up, he stepped back a little bit, just in case they came charging.

"Aaaww she's a girl." Shar cooed, as they slowly crowded round him, Chad rolled his eyes.

"No duh," he muttered, getting a glare from the blonde.

"Aaaww she's beautiful Troy, hows Gabriella?" Lucille asked taking the words from Maria.

"She's great, sleeping right now, come on we'll go up." Troy said and led them to her room.

"What's her name Troy?" Tony asked as they got back into the elevator. Troy tore his eyes away from the still sleeping new born to answer. The others looking in anticipation of his answer he laughed looking back down.

"Carmen Bailey,"

"Aaawww," the girls including, Maria and Lucille, while the grandad's and 'uncle' Chad, clapped Troy on the back as a congratulations.

After they stayed in Gabriella's room for some time, aimlessly chatting, the parents and best friends decided they better go home and let Gabriella have her sleep and Troy to catch up on some. He put Carmen in the crib beside Gabriella's bed and climbed in next to her, careful not to touch or wake her as he knew she would find it difficult to get back to sleep from the pain she would be in.

Gabriella's eyes fluttered open and heard the voice of someone hushing and muffled cries, she sat up once she realised what is was and found Angela feeding Carmen and Troy fast asleep next to her. She smiled, kissing his forehead before making her re-conciousousness known.

"Hey, you want me to take her?" She asked and Angela smiled and handed her over, keeping the bottle placed in her mouth.

"Did you sleep okay?" Asked Angela. Gabriella nodded with a smile, not taking her eyes off the baby.

"Yeah, have my parents gone home?"

"Yeah, they stayed for a while and then decided to let you sleep and that they'd come over today or see you when you get home." Brie nodded again, then put all her attention to Carmen. Angela smiled once more before leaving them alone, saying she'll be back later to help her check out. Gabriella laughed quietly at the babygrow Troy must have put on her while she'd been asleep. It was pink with dark pink writing accross the front reading, 'i love my daddy."

"Mommy loves you too," she whispered kissing her soft head. Setting the bottle down on the side she sat Carmen up and began to wind her like she had learned in the weekly pregnancy classes she took. Feeling the bed move, Troy blinked open his eyes a few times to adjust to the light, the sight he laid eyes on making his heart swell with love and happiness. Gabriella holding Carmen close to her, whispering things to her and gently rocking her to sleep. He sat up abit and laid his chin on her shoulder from behind. Gabriella smiled turning to face him, her smiled matching his. He pecked her on the lips as a greeting.

"She's so beautiful, i love her so much." Troy nodded his agreement, running his fingers of her cheek.

"Yeah me too, you like her baby grow." He asked chuckling and she laughed nodding.

"Yeah it's cute. I'm sorry i missed our parents."

"Don't be daft they understood, you went through hours of pain Brie." He said soothingly.

"Yeah," she agreed softly, Troy sat their watching her. "What?" Gabriella asked laughing. "Do i have something on my face?" He chuckled before shaking his head.

"No, i just have some news." She looked at him confusedly and nodded telling him to continue. "On the way over here your dad got a phone call. It was officer Shaw." He explained. She frowned knowing where he was going with and didn't know if she wanted to know the news. If it was bad she would always remember it on her daughters birthday and that isn't something she would want to do.

"Troy, i don't wanna' know if it's bad news it'll ruin today. I mean of course i want the guy who nearly killed you sent down but Carmens birthday supposed to be happy, not remembering about the time i could of lost you." She admitted sadly, putting the newest edditon to the family down in her crib once she'd fallen asleep.

"I know Brie, me too. But i'm still here and i always will be. But it i think it's good news," he said lying back down, bringing her head down onto his chest gently.

"Okay," she whispered closing her eyes. Troy took a deep breath before speaking.

"10 years for attempted murder." He said softly stroking her hair. Gabriella's heart jumped and a few tears flowed over her eyelids. She moved upwards so her face centremetres away from his, ignoring the screaming pain coming from from her womanhood and he brought his hands up to her face and wiped her tears away with his thumbs.

"It's over?" She whispered happily and he nodded grinning.

"It's over," he confirmed, she laughed, happy tears still falling and buried her face in his neck after kissing him. They lay in each others embrace for a while before a cry for comfort came from the crib. Gabriella sat up and got Carmen from her bed and put her on her chest and lied on her back, she kissed her head, before turning to Troy. He was lay on his side his arm over Gabriellas stomach, smiling down at her.

"I can't believe those months of trials are over, this is the best day ever." Gabriella declared quietly, he chuckled planting a loving kiss on her lips and a gentle on his daughters smooth head.

"It sure is, happy Carmens day." She giggled at this, but thought that it fit nonetheless.

"Happy Carmens day, i love you." Gabriella mumbled into another kiss, he grinned into it.

"I love you too."
