A/N: Hello guys, so I'm sorry for the wait. Summer has been quite busy :). Haha parties and vacations, anyways not gonna get into details. Enjoy the chap, even though it's not the most exciting …here it is
The sky was a crisp aquamarine color and the clouds looked exactly like puffy white pillows that you could sleep on. The crisp air was refreshing and the pastures that surrounded the Ranch House were bright and vivid.
Gabriella sat outside, holding Jackson as Troy played in the pool with Madison. God how she loved him, Troy was just so gentle with their kids and it was honestly a sight that any mother would love to see.
All of the sudden a squeal was heard as a girl with blonde wavy hair that came to her shoulders rushed over to the pool.
"Troy!" Annie said as she went over to hug her big brother, forgetting that he was drenching wet. When she stepped back she was dripping wet.
"Oops" She laughed and then hugged Madison. Then she walked over towards Jackson and Gabriella who were sitting by the tables.
"Gabi! It's so good to see you!" Annie said and I smiled and got up out of the chair.
"It's good to see you too Annie!!" Gabriella replied with a smile before handing Jackson to his Aunt.
"He is so adorable! Last time I saw him he was only 3 months!" Annie said with a giggle.
"And Oh my my my, you are getting quite big!" She said as she placed a hand on her stomach, at the exact moment that the baby kicked.
"Yeah, tell me about" Gabriella replied with a giggle.
"Are Kyle and Spencer here yet?" Troy asked as he walked over with a little Madison who was all bundled up in a towel.
"No, but a blonde girl and an African American boy are, does your blonde friend know anything about a ranch?" Annie asked with a chuckle and Troy and Gabriella immediately began laughing and shaking their heads. Suddenly a perky blonde and a cocoa color skinned boy came outside.
Immediately, Troy and Gabriella understood what Annie was saying. You see, Sharpay was wearing a turquoise tank top covered in shimmering turquoise sequins; a True Religion white jean mini skirt and custom made turquoise Hermes cowboy boots. She carried a white monogrammed Louis Vuitton bowling style purse.
"Sharpay!" Gabriella squealed, seeing her best friend.
"Gabs! You look ah-mazing!" Sharpay said as she looked at her friend's growing bump.
"Thanks" Gabriella said as she blushed.
"And oh, my god! Jackson and Maddy! You guys grew up so much!" She said as she hugged her niece and nephew.
"So where are we staying?" Sharpay asked.
"We'll show you to your room" Gabriella said, Troy and Zeke had already gone off to look at the house.
"Want to grab your suitcases out of your car first?" Gabi asked.
"No, I can't cause there are too many" Sharpay said, biting her lip.
"How many Shar?" Gabriella asked with a smirk.
"Oh, just 8" Sharpay said as she looked at the ground.
"Geeze Shar! I brought one giant one and same with Troy and the kids!" Gabriella said as she giggled.
"Gabs, we are here for a month! I have many things to bring" Sharpay said with a giggle as she saw Troy and Zeke come in, struggling to carry the 8 large Louis Vuitton suitcases, of many varieties of sizes.
Oh My My My Oh My My My Oh My My My Oh My My My
Madison came toddling up the staircase, Troy chasing after her. In the last few hours, Troy's younger brother Kyle and his girlfriend, Spencer, arrived at the Ranch. Playing with their nieces and nephews and catching up with everyone, until Gabriella decided that this pregnancy and the children really wore her out so she went up for a nap and took an exhausted baby Jackson with her.
"Maddy! Come back here" Troy whisper-shouted at his young daughter. Who simply ran away from her father, and near small obstacles that she could easily get around from and her father could not. The toddler was very good at running away, and seeing just how adorable she was, her parents never could get angry with her. Finally, the father caught up with his young daughter who just grinned toothily at her daddy and placed a kiss on his cheek.
"You can't go in there sweetie, Mommy is sleeping and so is baby Jackson" Troy told his daughter, kissing her forehead.
"Bwaby Jackson!" Madison replied with a cute little grin.
"Yeah" Troy said softly, as he lifted his daughter up. Her bright blue eyes stared back at him and Troy smiled at his eldest child, his first little girl.
Oh My My My Oh My My My Oh My My My Oh My My My
After dinner that evening, the entire Bolton clan took a swim and then Troy and Gabriella put their young one's off to bed.
Gabriella lay on top of the bed in the guestroom, she was wearing only one of Troy's dress shirts and a pair of maternity boyshorts, seeing as that was the only thing that she found comfortable enough to sleep in these days. Troy came out of the bathroom in only a pair of plaid flannel pajama's, only to see his wife adjusting pillows in between her legs and massaging her large, pregnant stomach.
"Hey there beautiful" Troy said as he lay down next to her.
"I'm exactly the opposite of that" Gabriella huffed out.
"Gabriella you are the most beautiful person I have ever seen, especially when you're pregnant", Troy told her with a smile as he kissed her forehead. Gabriella knew that he was being serious because of the kind, caring and sincere voice that he had.
"I just want the baby out, I mean it's just too hard to carry the weight and with Jackson being so young and Madison still being young, I'm just scared that when the baby comes we won't be able to do it. Plus, on top of all of that, the baby is constantly kicking and it's really hard to sleep and my stomach and back just really hurt" Gabriella vented to her husband as a batch of tears made their way out of her eyes. The baby was kicking relentlessly at the moment and Gabriella just couldn't take it.
"Gabs, it's all going to be okay. Yeah, the kids are all going to be young but it doesn't matter. We love each other, we love the kids and Jackson and Maddy are already doing well, I mean we've done a good job raising them and we can raise another" Troy said, wiping his wife's salty tears away with the pad of his thumb. He began rubbing soothing circles on her stomach and the baby eventully stopped kicking and soon his wife's tears had subsided and the only sound heard was her gentle breathing.
"I love you Gabi" Troy said quietly before falling into his own slumber.
