Hello readers! You must be shocked to see two updates/stories from me in two days. I decided to post one of my Christmas fics a little earlier since its already complete. I actually wrote this for another ship but turned it into a Troypay; I hope that it still fits them. I've made minor changes in the fic to fit the Troypay universe but of course some things didn't so just go with it. For instance, this fic does take place in Albuquerque but lets pretend that Albuquerque actually has a pretty cold climate. Vance and Darby Evans moved to Paris while Sharpay (and Ryan) were in college. As is pretty customary for me, Sharpay and Taylor are also best friends (of course so are Chad and Troy). Chad and Taylor broke up right before they went to college but both live on the West coast now. Troy's a bigshot basketball player and Sharpay runs a theater company. And Gabriella....lets see...I think she's probably taking off her clothes in Vegas. Yup, I think that pretty much covers everything.

Disclaimer: I still don't own the HSM franchise but I think I should have like a percent of Disney stock or something because I've given them plenty of money over the years.

Ok on with the show!

Sharpay's eyes fluttered open as the morning sun entered the room. Ouch, Sharpay thought as she rubbed her head, that must have been some fall. Once her eyes were fully opened, Sharpay began to take in her surroundings; she was no longer at Lava Springs. In fact she was in a bedroom that she had never seen before. And she most certainly was not alone, there was definitely a big male body inching its way towards her. Uh oh, she thought, could she have done something, more like someone, really stupid last night? No it couldn't be, the last thing she remembered was being at the club.

"You awake baby?" Sharpay gasped, she would know that voice anywhere.

"Troy?" Sharpay questioned the confusion evident in her voice.

"Sharpay," Troy laughed, mocking her, as he leaned over her.

"Wh…what are you doing?" Sharpay asked as she stared at her friend, pulling the covers up over her body. She suddenly felt very insecure against the man whom she had crushed on for half her life.

"What do you mean what am I doing?" Troy arched his eyebrow in confusion. "Are you feeling ok? It's not the baby is it?" the worry was ever present in his voice, as his hand quickly moved to her stomach.

Sharpay's eye doubled in size as she saw her very pregnant body, since when in the hell was she pregnant. "The baby," she squealed, still shocked at herself.

"You're in labor!" Troy exclaimed as he quickly threw off the covers, ready for action.

"No, no, I'm not in labor," Sharpay sat up and placed her hand on Troy's shoulder, hopefully reassuring him that everything was fine.

Troy breathed a sigh of relief. "Good," he lay back down in bed. "I just thought we'd have a little more time and there's still a lot to do before the baby comes."

"Umm right," Sharpay replied as she bit down on her bottom lip.

"If you're fine, I guess we should continue where we left off then," Troy grinned as he leaned closer again, only this time Sharpay knew exactly what he was about to do. His lips were practically grazing hers when…

"Mommy!" a little voice called out.

Troy closed his eyes in frustration. "Of course," he sighed but then chuckled as he pulled away.

"Of course," Sharpay repeated, she wasn't sure if the little interruption was a good or a bad thing. She longed for Troy's kisses, but normally she knew where she was and she wasn't pregnant. Wait, rewind did someone just call her Mommy?

"I think that's your cue," Troy stated as he got out of bed, stretching as his feet hit the floor.

"My cue?" she questioned, boy could she get more confused.

"Don't play dumb with me, Pay," Troy turned to face her, his arms folded across his chest, a playful grin on his face. "It's your turn and you know it."

"My turn?" Sharpay asked, she hoped she didn't look as dumb as she sounded.

"Breakfast, you promised the munchkins Christmas tree pancakes," Troy replied as he looked at Sharpay's semi-confused face.

"I did?" Sharpay scrunched her nose.

"Are you trying to get out of it?" Troy grinned as he put his hands on his hips and Sharpay's heart almost skipped a beat, how cute could one person be?

"No," Sharpay replied. "But…"

"Hey, don't complain, you promised them, besides it's a tradition," Troy stated simply.

"Right, it's a tradition," Sharpay replied, hopefully sounding sincere as she removed the warm comforter from her body. She quickly stood up, whoa, way too fast for a pregnant lady. Where were her feet, she thought, as she looked down. "Christmas tree pancakes for the…the munchkins coming right up," she forced a smile as Troy walked in front of her.

"Do you mind if I take a quick shower?" he asked as he pulled her towards him, as close as they could get with her bump being in the way.

"No, go ahead," Sharpay lied, quickly putting a smile on her face. Of course it wasn't ok if he took a shower, then she would be on her own, in a place…in a life that she had never been in before.

"Thanks baby, I'll be quick I promise," and with that he leaned down for his morning kiss and Sharpay could barely wait. A minute later their lips parted, both with satisfied grins on their faces. Sharpay could really get used to that. "Love you."

"Love you too," Sharpay smiled as Troy retreated into their bathroom. That kiss was amazing, who cared if they both had a little bit of morning breath. STOP! You did not just tell him that you loved him, that's a major lie, ok not really but…

"Mommy!" another little voice called out, or at least Sharpay thought it had to be a different voice, it sounded younger. Kids pretty much all sounded the same to her.

"Coming," Sharpay sighed and began to head out of the bedroom. She stopped when she heard the water turn on in the bathroom, what she would give to be in there. Naked…wet…Troy…yum, screw Christmas tree pancakes.

"Mommy!" Sharpay almost collided with a little girl.

"Um hi," Sharpay looked down at the little girl. She was practically Sharpay's splitting image, the brown eyes, the long honey blonde hair.

"Morning Mommy," the little girl said, Sharpay guessed that she must have been around five or six.

"Hi," Sharpay repeated again, staring at the beautiful little girl in front of her, apparently her little girl. "Soooo… are you hungry?"

The little girl nodded her head, "I'm famished!" she exclaimed dramatically.

"Famished?" Sharpay giggled. "You must be channeling Taylor." Sharpay thought about her best friend, well at least she hoped they were still best friends.

"You always say that," the little girl said as she laced her fingers with Sharpay's as if it were the most natural thing in the world..

"I do?" Sharpay asked, she smiled down at her daughter, she could not believe that she had a daughter and a baby on the way as she rubbed her stomach. And let's not forget…

"Mommy!" there was that other voice again, echoing through the hallway, even louder than before.

"Kenzie's up!" the older girl exclaimed as she let go of Sharpay's hand and ran down the hallway. Sharpay quickly followed, or rather quickly waddled.

"Mommy!" Mackenzie, or Kenzie as she was so affectionately called, clapped her chubby little hands at the sight of her mother.

"Hi Kenzie!" Sharpay happily exclaimed, at least she knew one of her children's names. She looked at the little angel in the little white crib; she had to have been about two. She was a perfect match of her and Troy; her brown eyes and bright smile and Troy's nose and adorably curly chestnut colored hair.

"No potty in the morning Mommy!" Kenzie shouted as she stood up in her crib.

"Yay!" the oldest little girl shouted as well. "Kenzie didn't peeeee in her pull up!" she walked over and reached a hand inside of the bars, wildly shaking her sister's hands, both girls laughing hysterically.

Sharpay couldn't help but smile, they were absolutely adorable and they were all hers and besides this was supposed to be a happy occasion. "Good job baby!" Sharpay bent over as best she could and placed a kiss on Kenzie's head. "Mommy is so happy and Daddy is going to be so proud."

"Kenzie a big girl Mommy?" Kenzie looked up to Sharpay

"Oh Kenzie is a very big girl," Sharpay couldn't help but laugh at the fact that little girl was talking in third person. "How about some pancakes for a very big girl?"

"Yay!" both girls exclaimed.

"Come on," Sharpay reached her hands down to pick her daughter up, but she hadn't realized how difficult this was going to be, her stomach was definitely in the way and the bars of the crib were too tall for her to get a good grip on the small toddler..

"I got her," Troy was quickly at her side and in an instant he grabbed Mackenzie.

"Well that was by far the world's quickest shower," Sharpay grinned as she placed her hands on her belly.

"Funny," Troy replied before giving Mackenzie a kiss on the cheek. "Morning my little ladybug. I just got in the shower when I realized that you were going to have to get Kenzie out and I knew that was becoming difficult so..."

"My hero," Sharpay swooned as she placed her hands over her heart.

"I do what I can," Troy laughed as he puffed out his chest.

"Cute," Sharpay smiled and couldn't resist kissing Troy on the cheek; it just felt right and he didn't seem to mind.

"I try," he bent over and placed Mackenzie down next to her sister. "And how's my butterfly this morning?"

"Good Daddy," the older girl smiled wide as she wrapped her arms around Troy's neck.

"Good," Troy smiled as he placed a kiss on her cheek as well. "Are you girls excited about today?"

Both girls screamed, Sharpay was definitely going to have to get used to that, and Troy laughed. "Mommy's going to make her famous Christmas tree pancakes and then we'll go out and look for a real Christmas tree."

"Yay!" Kenzie squealed as she latched onto Sharpay's leg.

"Bigger than last year's tree, right Daddy?" the oldest girl asked, excitement in her voice.

"Whatever you want, Caitlin," Troy smiled.

Caitlin, finally a name to put with that cute little face, Sharpay thought. "Troy," she began, she had no idea why she had said it, but for some reason it sounded right.

"What?" Troy asked innocently, already knowing what was coming.

"Whatever she wants?" Sharpay asked, the words flying out of her mouth as her hands went to rest on her lower back. "You're spoiling them too much," she whispered.

"That's funny coming our of your mouth baby, Albuquerque's only princess," Troy chuckled.

"Ha ha," Sharpay pouted, knowing that Troy was right.

"We'll get a tree that's bigger than last year's butterfly," Troy gave all three of his girls one more kiss. "Let me finish my shower than I'll be down to help you."

"Ok," Sharpay smiled as Troy exited Mackenzie's bedroom and she looked down to her two girls, who were smiling bright at her. Suddenly Sharpay wasn't so nervous, maybe she could really get used to this life.

"Come on Mommy," Kenzie pulled on Sharpay's red pajama pants. "Kenzie's hungry."

"Well, lets get a move on it, I don't want my girls hungry," Sharpay took both of their little hands in her own and headed downstairs. As they made their way to the first floor, Sharpay was somewhat confused when she saw two huge Christmas trees, one in the foyer and one in a formal living room, both only decorated with white and silver ornaments.

"Come on Mommy," Caitlin looked up to her mother. "Can I get the eggs?"

"As long as you're careful," Sharpay smiled sweetly at her little girl as both of her girls dragged her into the kitchen; she would have to figure out the tree business later. Nice kitchen, Sharpay thought as she looked around the very big room; she loved the stainless steel appliances, the white cabinets, long island and the cozy breakfast nook. Clearly she must have had a say so in the design, it just screamed Sharpay. "Ok girls, lets get started." Sharpay bit her lip, she had no idea where anything was, hopefully the girls would be a big help. Surely they would be confused by their mother if she didn't know where anything was; so an excuse was definitely in order. "Kenzie, Caitlin, because of my big tummy, I need you two to help Mommy out, be my big helpers."

"Ok Mommy, we'll help you," Caitlin smiled. "I'm a really good helper."

"I know you are," Sharpay ran a hand through her daughter's beautiful blonde locks just like her mother used to do to her. "Let's get all of our ingredients first, ok?"

"Ok," Caitlin responded and Sharpay watched her open a door next to the refrigerator and head into a very large pantry. Great, they had a pantry, Sharpay followed Caitlin inside. "Here's the mix Mommy," Caitlin handed her a box.

"Thanks sweetie," Sharpay responded, grateful that Caitlin seemed to know her way around the kitchen. She wasn't kidding when she said she was really good helper. When she was her age, she couldn't do anything by herself but that also could have been because she had a nanny, maid and cook who practically waited on her hand and foot.

"I'll get the eggs," Caitlin volunteered as they headed out of the pantry.

"Mommy me get a bowl," Kenzie exclaimed, again tugging on Sharpay's pants.

"That would be great!" Sharpay exclaimed as Kenzie toddled over to a low cabinet.

After everything was gathered up, the girls were such a big help; besides the actual cooking Sharpay barely had to lift a finger except to get milk and plates since they were so high up. Caitlin seemed to know where everything in the kitchen was. Caitlin, also, helped through out the whole process, Kenzie only wanted to stir, which Sharpay had to admit that she did a fantastic job at. Clearly they had done this before and thought maybe Sharpay happy; her daughters seemed to be smitten with her as she was with them.

"Mmm smells good in here," Troy smiled as he walked into the kitchen, fresh from his shower, and clad in a gray wool sweater and jeans. He looked good; Sharpay couldn't help but smile from her seat at the table.

"Daddy we make pancakes!" Kenzie said before she took a bite, her face was already covered in syrup.

"I can see that munchkin," Troy chuckled. "Are they yummy?" Troy walked closer to his youngest who nodded. "Good," he snatched a little piece off her plate and devoured it.

"Daddy!" Kenzie screamed. "My pancakes! Give back now!"

"It was only a little piece Kenz," Troy replied as he sat down in between the two girls, Sharpay was on the opposite side of him.

"Nooo!" Kenzie cried banging her fork on her little plastic princess plate. "My pancakes, bad Daddy!"

"Mackenzie," Sharpay said sternly. "You better change that little attitude if you want to go tree shopping."

"I wanna go Mommy," Kenzie pouted.

"Well you need to be a good girl otherwise you are not going, understood?" Sharpay stated, shocking herself when her motherly stern voice made an appearance.

"Yeah," Kenzie replied. "I be a good girl Daddy, I pwomise."

"Ok, Kenz," Troy replied as he began to dig into his pancakes. "Mmm these are great, baby, did you try something new?"

"It's a secret Daddy," Caitlin smiled up at her father..

"Oh, I see, I guess that I'm not cool enough to know, huh?" Troy asked.

"Yup," Caitlin giggled with a mouth full of pancakes.

"Ouch," Troy frowned. "That one hurt."

"You have a boo boo?" Kenzie looked curiously at Troy.

"No," Troy laughed. "I'm ok ladybug."

"Otay," Kenzie went back to her sippy cup full of milk.

"Well I am stuffed," Sharpay pushed her plate away from her on the table and her hands immediately went for her belly.

"The baby too?" Caitlin asked.

"The baby too," Sharpay smiled as she looked at her bump and continued to rub it.

Troy smiled, "Well why don't you take a shower and take your time. I'll clean up in here and get the munchkins dressed and possibly bathed," Troy chuckled as he and Sharpay both looked at their youngest who now seemed to be bathing in syrupy goodness.

"I will definitely let you handle that," Sharpay giggled as she began to stand up and grab her plate.

"Hey, hey hey, didn't I just say I was going to clean up?" Troy raised his eyebrows.

"Troy, it's only…" Sharpay began.

"Leave it, ok, just let me take care of everything," Troy replied. "I want to, besides it's the least I could do. Now go on, we'll be fine."

Sharpay smiled. "I know you can handle everything and thank you." She bent down to kiss his forehead.

"You're welcome now go before I change my mind," Troy smiled up at his wife.

"You wouldn't dare."

"Oh but I would," Troy laughed as he saw his wife quickly retreating out of the kitchen.

After breakfast Troy decided to get the girls ready, he'd clean up their mess after they were dressed. He ushered them up the stairs and into the jack and jill bathroom that separated their two rooms. Caitlin immediately began to brush her teeth, she knew the drill. Kenzie, on the other hand, needed a significant amount of help so Troy had her wash her hands while he grabbed a wash cloth and began to wipe her down.

"All clean Daddy?" Kenzie looked up to Troy.

"All clean is right, now brush your teeth," he handed her a little princess toothbrush and she immediately stuck it in her mouth. "Up and down and side to side, remember Kenz?"

"Yup," she replied before doing what Troy told her to do.

"I'm going to get dressed," Caitlin announced as she finished up her teeth.

"Ok, butterfly, do you need me get anything out of your closet?" Troy asked.

"No, I can do it myself, Daddy," Caitlin responded proudly and Troy smiled.

"Ok," Troy replied, although he was feeling a hint of disappointment. When had his baby stopped needing him so much? It seemed like only yesterday that she was learning how to walk.

After Kenzie brushed her teeth, Troy did have to help her pick out clothes and get dressed.

"How about this?" Troy asked Kenzie as he shuffled through her closet and pulled out a purple turtleneck.

"Nope," she smiled as Troy sighed and placed the shirt back in her closet.

"Well, what shirt do you want?" Troy asked, she didn't like any of the shirts he had showed her to go with the jeans he had already picked out. She was just like her mother when it came to her fashion sense, extremely picky!

"Not in cwoset Daddy," Kenzie grabbed Troy's pinky finger and led him to the dresser. "In here."

"Well why didn't you say so?" Troy chuckled, it could have saved him a lot of time and effort.

"You no ask me," Kenzie replied as she pulled open her own drawer. "Cold today?"

"Very cold today," Troy replied.

"Sweater!" she exclaimed happily as she pulled out a pink one.

"How about this one instead since we're going to buy a great big tree today," Troy kneeled down and pulled out a red one with a Christmas tree smack dab in the middle.

Kenzie squealed in delight as she saw the tree. "Yay Daddy! A cwismas twee!"

"Yup, now let's get you dressed," he replied before unzipping her candy cane footy pjs.

As much as she wanted to take a nice long relaxing shower, there was so much for Sharpay to do, so she settled for a quick shower. She hadn't even seen the rest of her own house yet and she was just dying to see it.

"Ok, first things first, the closet," Sharpay said to herself as she stepped out of the very spacious two person shower and grabbed a towel. A two person shower, whose idea was that? Sharpay grinned, she was sure that it must have seen plenty of action. After drying off, she headed into her huge walk in closet, she would definitely get used to that (it reminded her of her old one although this one was smaller). Thank goodness all of the maternity clothes seemed to be on the closest shelves. Sharpay quickly threw on a cashmere sweater and a pair of maternity jeans, before she was off to look at the rest of the house. She decided to head downstairs first, she was still wondering why they needed another Christmas tree when they already had two. She was about to start descending the stairs when a now familiar voice called her name.

"Mommy!" Sharpay stopped, turned around and headed towards Caitlin's bedroom. So much for the personal tour.

Sharpay couldn't keep her giggles to herself as she stood in the doorway of the girls' shared bathroom. Troy looked up at the noise and couldn't help but blush.

"I'm…um doing Caitlin's hair," he said nervously as he continued on what appeared to be a braid.

"I can see that, honey," Sharpay smiled as Caitlin looked at her, as if saying 'help me.' "Why don't I finish up?"

"Um ok," Troy laughed at the mess in front of him. "At least I tried."

"That's right you did try, and it was very sweet of you honey," Sharpay replied. "But I wouldn't quit your day job." Sharpay laughed and Troy wrinkled his nose at her.

"Whatever. Come on Kenz, lets get you all bundled up downstairs," Troy picked Kenzie up from the counter and left the bathroom.

"Mommy don't ever let him do my hair again," Caitlin said as Sharpay began to undo what Troy had started.

"Aww sweetie he tried," Sharpay smiled.

"Its sooo bad," Caitlin scrunched up her nose, just like her father only seconds earlier.

"It could be worse," Sharpay replied. "And you should be happy that you have such a wonderful Daddy who would even want to help to do your hair, some little girls aren't as lucky as you and your sister. Your Daddy loves you so much." Sharpay smiled down at the little girl standing in front of her. Sharpay really believed what she had just said; Troy was an amazing father to the girls and could tell that he loved them with his whole heart. She loved them too, ironic since she had only known them for several hours, but they made her feel whole, Troy too. How she had ended up in this life, she wasn't sure, but one thing was for sure: she absolutely adored it. She was genuinely happy and she felt loved, feelings that she hadn't felt in a long time. "There," Sharpay said with a triumphant smile after she had brushed out the tangles and had given her daughter a set of pigtails.

"Thanks Mommy," Caitlin turned around and threw her arms around her Mother's waist, or what was left of it.

"You're welcome. Now come on, I'm sure Daddy and Kenzie are waiting patiently for us," Sharpay ushered her daughter out of the bathroom. They soon joined Troy and Kenzie in a big closet off the kitchen that seemed to house all of the coats, hats, scarves, etc. Caitlin immediately went for her boots by the back door. "Well aren't you a sight for sore eyes," Sharpay said as she looked to Kenzie who was sitting on the bench, in her winter coat and bundled to the extreme in a hat, scarf, and mittens, her adorable little face was barely visible.

"Here you go," Troy was behind Sharpay in an instant, helping her put on her coat. Afterwards he handed her a scarf and gloves.

"Thanks," she smiled genuinely as he handed her purse to her as well. "Such a gentleman."

Troy winked as he zipped up his own coat. "Are we all ready to go?"

"My zipper's stuck," Caitlin looked to Troy.

"Let me see," Troy bent down in front of his daughter and quickly fixed her little jam. "Now we're good?"

"Yup," Caitlin smiled.

"Your car or mine?" Troy asked as he opened the door to the garage, both girls quickly running out.

Sharpay shrugged as she walked down the few steps leading to the garage. "Doesn't matter to me baby," she said, she didn't exactly know which car was hers. She took a quick look at the four cars, not bad she thought; her shiny silver Porsche convertible that she got right after college, a sleek red Lamborghini, clearly Troy's little toy, and two SUVS, one black Range Rover and the other a tan Lexus GX, both for their growing family.

"Let's take yours, so then we'll have more length for the tree," Troy suggested. "Girls, get in Mommy's car," Troy said as he produced the keys from his coat pocket and quickly unlocked the doors. Caitlin and Kenzie rushed over to the Lexus, both piling in. "Get in hon.," Troy looked to Sharpay. "I'll get Kenzie buckled in and I'll drive."

"K," Sharpay flashed Troy a quick smile before making her way over to the front passenger door.

"Here we go sweetheart," Troy lifted Kenzie into her car set as Caitlin climbed into her booster seat and buckled herself in. "Ok you do the first one," Troy smiled down at Kenzie who liked to do the first buckle while Troy did the bottom. "Good job ladybug lets get this show on the road," Troy said as he closed the door and then hopped into the driver's seat.

"Its freezing," Sharpay commented as Troy started the car and she immediately reached to turn on the heat and her own seat warmer.

"Yeah, it is," Troy nodded as the car continued to warm up. "Oh guess what girls; I heard it was going to snow."

"Really?" Caitlin asked excitedly her eyes lighting up, she loved snow, but what kid didn't.

"Saw it on the news last night," Troy smiled.

"Yay!" Caitlin exclaimed. "Kenzie we can make a snowman!"

"Otay Caitwin," Kenzie smiled at her big sister, whatever Caitlin did, she did too.

"We'll see if we have time," Sharpay turned around to look at the girls. "And there might not even be enough snow."

"Party pooper," Troy laughed as he pulled out of the garage.

Hope you guys liked it, let me know. This won't be too long of a fic, only several chapters which are all completed. Lots of reviews = faster updates (yes I know that I'm needy!). Sorry if this is slightly confusing, but all will be revealed in time. Thanks for reading!
