Summary: Sharpay is at the park with her and Jason's daughter when she finds a small piece of paper that has a list containing the 'rules of love'. As she reads it, she thinks back on her relationship with Jason Cross. This will be a three chapter story. And then there will be at least a two-chapter sequel. Enjoy.

"Jase, I'm going to take Madeline to the park, we'll be back in about an hour or so." Sharpay Evans said to her boyfriend of 6 years: Jason Cross.
"Okay… but don't hurry back… I want to cook dinner for you tonight, and I would like everything to be perfect." Jason said leaning against the doorway to his daughter's bedroom as Sharpay got the little girl dressed for a walk in the park.
"Please tell me that Zeke is going to be here to make sure you don't burn anything." Sharpay said looking over her shoulder at her boyfriend.
"I promise; Zeke never lets me cook or bake anything without him here… and if he can't come over, then I can't go near the stove or the oven." Jason said with a smile toward Sharpay and then toward their 2 year old daughter Madeline.
"Okay… I'll see you later… our little girl wants to go for a walk." Sharpay said giving Jason a quick kiss before she picked up their daughter.
"Wait a second… you two ladies can't leave until I give my little princess a kiss." Jason said stopping Sharpay as Madeline reached for Jason.
"Dada… me want dada." Madeline said in her adorable sweet baby voice that made Jason's heart melt every time he heard it.
"Come here baby girl… dada's right here." Jason cooed to his daughter.
"Jason… we need to go… Taylor is meeting us with Troy Jr. in 15 minutes… and you know how much these two like to be together." Sharpay said softly.
"You want to be like Troy and Tay don't you? One family… with us married and on our way to having more kids?" Jason asked looking up at his girlfriend.
"Yes Jason… that's exactly what I want… I want Madeline to live with her parents, and not have to grow up explaining why her parents never got married." Sharpay said looking down.
"Shar… baby, trust me… eventually, we will be one family… not two, but right now, I don't think its the right time." Jason said as he cupped Sharpay's cheek in his hand.
"Jason… Madeline and I have to go." Sharpay said pulling away a little from Jason's touch as she went to pick their daughter up.
"Have fun Shar." Jason said.
"We will." Sharpay said placing Madeline on her hip and walking down the stairs to the garage and opening the garage door.
"Hey Shar." Zeke said walking up to her as she put Madeline in her car-seat.
"Oh, hey Zeke." Sharpay said giving him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"Uncle 'Eke." Madeline said excitedly as she lifted her arms up to give him a hug.
"Hey Princess." Zeke said giving the little girl a light hug and a kiss on the head.
"Jason's inside the house." Sharpay said looking at Zeke.
"And you two are going… where exactly?" Zeke asked.
"The park… we're meeting Taylor and Troy Junior there." Sharpay explained.
"You do realize that when they grow up, Madeline and Troy are going to probably, at least, start dating, if not fall in love and get married; don't you?" Zeke asked Sharpay with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah… but for right now, they can stay best friends… but we gotta go." Sharpay said giving Zeke another hug before getting into the driver's seat.
"Bye Shar, bye Princess." Zeke said giving Madeline another kiss on the head.
"Bye Uncle 'Eke." Madeline said with a smile.
"See you later Zeke." Sharpay said as she backed out of the garage and onto the street.

"Twoy!" Madeline called when she saw her best friend.
"Maddie! Mommy… can I go give Maddie a hug?" Troy Junior asked looking up at his mom.
"Sure sweetie." Taylor said as her son ran over to the little girl picked her up and spun her around as he gave her a hug.
"Be careful Troy… you don't want to hurt her do you?" Sharpay asked.
"No… sorry Maddie." Troy said taking Madeline's hand and leading her over to the swings.
"It's okay Twoy." Madeline said with a smile as she gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"I swear… those two are going to get married one day." Taylor said to Sharpay as the blonde sat down on the bench next to her friend.
"That's exactly what Zeke said before Madeline and I left our house this morning." Sharpay said with a sigh.
"What was Zeke doing at your house this morning?" Taylor asked.
"Watching over Jason to make sure he didn't burn anything when he cooks me dinner tonight." Sharpay said making Taylor laugh.
"Yeah… Jason is prone to burning things when he cooks and/or bakes anything." Taylor agreed.
"I know." Sharpay said as she watched her daughter and Taylor's son play on the swings.
"Do you think Troy and Jason would mind if we get those two betrothed?" Taylor asked pointing toward the kids.
"Probably not… since they've already mentioned doing so." Sharpay said with a shrug as a piece of paper fluttered on the ground.
"What's that?" Taylor asked as Sharpay picked it up and looked at it.
"It's a list of something… 'Rules of Love…'" Sharpay read off the top of the list.
"'Rules of Love'? Is someone seriously kidding themselves? There is no such thing as "rules of love"." Taylor said as Sharpay continued to read the list.
"Rule number seventeen: tender kiss on side of your lips= you're mine." Sharpay read.
Flashback:
"Sharpay… will you be my girlfriend?" Jason Cross asked at a Graduation party being hosted by Ryan and Sharpay's parents.
"Jason… I can't… I mean… I want to, but… I, uh, don't really know you all that well… and well, I, uh… oh what the heck… I guess being your girlfriend would be the best way to get to know you." Sharpay said through a lot of stuttering.
"Really? You really will be my girlfriend?" Jason asked in disbelief.
"Yeah… I guess it wouldn't hurt to try anyway." Sharpay said with a smile.
"Thank you Sharpay." Jason said giving her a tender kiss on the side of her lips.
End Flashback
"Shar… what were you think about?" Taylor asked.
"Jason… my relationship with him and how rule number seventeen was something he did right after asking me to be his girlfriend." Sharpay said looking over to where Troy and Madeline were, holding hands and going down the duel slides.
"What about the other rules? Do any others remind you of something Jason has done?" Taylor asked looking at the list.
"Um… well, number one, he does all the time. He loves kissing me and saying that he loves me." Sharpay said with a smile.
"Think about a specific time." Taylor encouraged.
Flashback:
"Jason… I have to tell you something." Sharpay said through his closed bedroom door, talking to Sharpay.
"What do you want? Break my heart again? You were my first and you left right after it." Jason yelled making Sharpay cringe as tears came to her eyes.
"Jason… please, calm down. I was scared. You were my first as well and I was just scared okay. I wasn't thinking and now… you don't want anything to do with me. But if you really loved me, you would try and understand how I was feeling." Sharpay said as more and more tears ran down her cheeks, which made Jason kick start into action and wiped them away with his thumbs.
"I'm sorry. Come on, you need to sit down." Jason said wrapping his arm around Sharpay's shoulders and let her to the cedar chest at the end of his bed and sat her down before sitting down next to her.
"Jase… I really do love you, and I'm really going to need you in the very close future." Sharpay said through her tears.
"What's wrong Shar?" Jason asked.
"I'm pregnant." Sharpay said looking at the ground.
"Really? The first and only time that we ever did it, and you got pregnant?" Jason asked, winning a smack from Sharpay.
"Act mature please." Sharpay said.
"Sorry baby." Jason said giving her a kiss on the lips before saying, "I love you Sharpay."
End Flashback
"What was it this time?" Taylor asked.
"When I told him I was pregnant." Sharpay whispered.
"Oh… that was when you guys had your first fight, isn't it?" Taylor asked.
"Yeah… actually, when I told him that I was pregnant was what ended our fight." Sharpay said with a small laugh.
"Really? What caused the fight to start?" Taylor asked as both women watched their kids.
"I left right after we had sex… and he said I broke his heart." Sharpay said sadly.
"Oh, honey… why did you leave?" Taylor asked.
"I was scared." Sharpay whispered.

(A/N: I decided to split this chapter up into 3 chapters. And since I used 6 out of 20 of the rules of love, I'm going to use 2 per chapter. I will still make the sequel and use the rest of the rules, so please be patient. – Mikayla)
