Sharpay walked into Ryan's room, quietly with Hunter in her arms. Hunter let out a squeal, and Sharpay put her finger to his lips. "Honey, don't wake him up yet. Wait 'til we get over there," she said.

Sharpay walked over to Ryan's bed and sat Hunter on his stomach before straddling his legs. "Alright, now wake him up."

Hunter patted his hands on Ryan's chest, making a yelling sound. Sharpay laughed and poked Ryan in the ribs. Ryan stirred and Hunter put his face to Ryan's, yelling again.

"I'm up, I'm up…" Ryan said. "He's drooling on me."

"Oh, you know you love it," Sharpay said, getting off of Ryan and taking Hunter into her arms again. "Mom says breakfast is ready."

"What are we having?"

"Our favorite."

"Chocolate chip pancakes? Artificial?"

"Duh."

"I'm up!" Ryan said, standing up out of bed.

Sharpay giggled.

"What?" Ryan asked.

"You might wanna take care of your um… Wet dream evidence. Y'know, before Mom thinks your jacking yourself."

Ryan looked down and groaned. "Again?... Man, this sucks."

"It's okay; most men do it."

"Does Troy?"

"Only inside me."

Ryan rolled his eyes and walked into his bathroom, shutting the door. "I already know what you two do in that room of yours; you don't have to tell me."

Sharpay laughed. "Hurry up," she said before walking out of the room. She closed the door behind her and went down the hall to the guest bedroom, where Troy had slept last night. Usually, Julia wouldn't allow Troy to spend the night on a school night, but since his parents were in the midst of a fight when he went home, he'd called and asked if he could come back over to sleep. Sharpay walked into the room and giggled a little as she sat on Troy, straddling him. She sat Hunter on his stomach. "Wake Daddy up."

Hunter babbled, and patted Troy's chest, like he did with Ryan. He made a yelling noise and Troy chuckled, keeping his eyes closed. Hunter yelled again, and Troy opened his eyes. "Hey, buddy," Troy said.

"Mom says breakfast is ready," Sharpay said.

"Alright. I'll be down in a few."

Sharpay got off of Troy and kissed his lips lightly before taking Hunter off of him and resting him on her hip, as she walked out of the room. She walked downstairs and went into the kitchen, smiling when she saw her father Logan. "Hi, Daddy," she said.

"Hey, Shar. Hey, little guy; how ya doin' today?" Logan asked, taking Hunter from Sharpay.

"He's been waking people up," Sharpay said, sitting at the table.

Julia sat a plate of pancakes in front of Sharpay and received a smile. "Thanks, Mom," Sharpay said.

"You're welcome," Julia said. "Logan, will you please explain to your eldest daughter that you're not cheating on me?"

Logan looked at Julia. "Cheating?" He looked at Sharpay. "What gives you that crazy idea?"

Sharpay shrugged. "I don't know. I guess it's just Eliza… I don't really like the way she flirts with you."

"Honey, I would never hurt your mother like that. I'd never hurt you like that, either. I love you and your mother both, and Eliza is just a secretary. I'm not into secretaries."

Julia cleared her throat, and gave Logan a warning look. "Sorry, Honey," Logan said. "I'm not into secretaries that aren't your mother."

Sharpay giggled. Julia used to be a secretary for Logan's father, and Sharpay's Grandpa Randall. That's how Julia and Logan met; through Randall introducing them. Julia was a secretary for Randall for three years; from ages seventeen to twenty. Randall and Julia got married when they were twenty-two, and by twenty-four, they had Ryan and Sharpay. They had their second set of twins, Lucas and Annika when they were twenty-nine. Sharpay loved hearing the story of how her parents got together, and wished she'd met Troy like that, but she was happy she'd known Troy at all. She and Troy have been best friends since birth, because Julia and Troy's mother Linda had been best friends since high school, so Julia immediately befriended Linda's husband Jack, as well as Logan did.

"Morning," Troy said, interrupting Sharpay's thoughts as he walked into the kitchen. He walked over to Sharpay and kissed her lips gently.

"Good morning, Troy," Julia said.

"What are you doing here? It's school this morning," Logan said.

"My parents were fighting, so Mom told me I could come back," Troy said.

"Ah. What are Linda and Jack fighting about this time?"

"No idea."

"Don't be nosy, Logan; it's none of our business," Julia said.

Hunter made a squealing noise and reached his arms out to Julia. Julia smiled and took him from Logan, kissing his cheek. "Hello, Mr. Hunter," she said.

"Mom… D-did you put real chocolate in these or is it the artificial stuff?" Sharpay asked.

"It's rea… Oh my god… Troy, get her to the bathroom and do it fast."

Troy looked at Sharpay, and saw her hand go to her mouth. He ran over and pulled her up from the chair, running to get her to the bathroom. The second Sharpay's knees hit the floor, her mouth opened and she started vomiting, gasping for breath in between episodes. Troy closed the door, then knelt next to Sharpay and patted her back when he realized she was having trouble getting everything up and he held her hair back. Sharpay coughed the excess vomit from her throat and spit it in the toilet, before taking and letting out deep breaths slowly.

"Are you okay?" Troy asked.

Sharpay nodded. "Mhm," she mumbled.

"You're gonna get sick again."

Sharpay nodded again, and leaned over the toilet, vomiting a second time. Troy listened to her gagging and gasping for five minutes before she was finally done, and he ran his hand over her back. "Done?"

Sharpay nodded and flushed the toilet. "Sorry," she whispered, standing up carefully. She wiped tears from her cheeks and sniffled, turning on the water faucet.

"Sorry about what? It's not your fault you got sick, Babe."

"I know, but still…" Sharpay said, rinsing her mouth out.

Troy ran his hand over her back, and then stood behind her, putting his hands on her waist. "Baby…"

"What?"

"Nothing; I just like calling you 'baby'."

Sharpay giggled and closed her eyes, leaning her head back on Troy's shoulder. Troy kissed her neck softly, and started sucking on it lightly. Sharpay moaned quietly and bit her lip with a smile. "Mm…"

Troy ran his hands up Sharpay's shirt and let them roam over her stomach. He slid a hand down, to her pajama pants and let his hand creep inside them.

"You are a very naughty boy, Troy Alexander," Sharpay said.

"You know you love it, Sharpay Marissa," Troy said, slipping his hand inside her underwear.

Sharpay let out a quiet moan, biting her lip as she felt Troy's fingers come in contact with her. Troy ran his fingers over her slowly, sucking on her neck again. Sharpay let out a whimper and brought her hand up, behind Troy's head to run her fingers through his hair. "Oh, god…" Sharpay whispered.

"Feel good?" Troy asked.

"Incredible."

Troy slid his fingers over her a little faster, and Sharpay's knees started giving out from the pleasure she felt. Troy held onto her, and kept moving his fingers faster and faster until her breath increased dramatically, and she let out a moan. "Mm…" Sharpay said. "Troy…"

Troy moved his hand from her pants and smiled at her. "Feel better?"

Sharpay smiled, and nodded. "Mhm… I feel a lot better."

"You two stop fooling around with each other in there and get ready for school," Julia called from the other side of the door.

Sharpay giggled and pulled away from Troy, walking out of the bathroom. "Can I skip today?"

"Can't you at least try to deal with it? If you don't go to school, you can't go to Taylor's tonight."

Sharpay thought about if for a few seconds, and the rolled her eyes as she headed up the stairs. "Fine…"

"Lose your attitude," Julia said. She looked at Troy. "Wash your hands."

Sharpay sat in her seat in English class, and turned so she could talk with Taylor and Kelsi. "What's new today?"

"Nothing," Kelsi said.

"Oh, the science club has officially been declared cool," Taylor said with a smile.

"… Why?" Sharpay asked.

Taylor shrugged. "I don't know; I was wondering the same thing."

The late bell rung, and Sharpay turned around to face the front, so she wouldn't get yelled at—again.

"Class, we have a new student with us today," Miss Bousquet said. "This is Gabriella Montez."

Sharpay, Kelsi, and Taylor looked at the Filipino girl, admiring her plain beauty. No make up, no dressy-uppy clothes. Just, plain. And she's cute.

"Gabriella, why don't you sit beside Sharpay, here," Miss Bousquet said, pointing to the seat next to Sharpay.

Gabriella nodded, shyly and she sat next to Sharpay, staying quiet. As Miss Bousquet started her rambling, Taylor, Sharpay, and Kelsi knew it was okay to talk, as long as she didn't catch them, so Sharpay turned in her seat again, looking at Gabriella.

"So, what school did you come from?" Sharpay asked.

"Oh, I went to St. Patrick's Private School, down the road," Gabriella said.

"Why did you transfer here?"

"I got kicked out."

"For what?"

Gabriella bit her lip and looked at Sharpay. "I'm pregnant."

Sharpay smiled a little, knowing that she could help Gabriella with her 'problem'. "Hey, don't worry. We don't judge people, pregnant or not."

"That's right; Sharpay has a little boy, herself," Taylor said.

"Really?" Gabriella asked.

"Yeah; he's a sweetheart," Kelsi said. "Looks just like his daddy."

"How old is he?"

"Ten months," Sharpay said. "How far along are you?"

"Just about seven weeks… Morning sickness is kicking in. I feel like crap."

"It'll go away. It's not too bad."

"Shar, show her that picture of Bubba you have in your wallet," Taylor said.

"Bubba?" Gabriella asked.

"My son," Sharpay said. "His real name is Hunter; Bubba is just a nickname," she said, getting her wallet from her purse. She opened it and took out a picture of her and Hunter. She had him in the air, and they both had big smiles on their faces as he was being brought down, but Troy snapped the picture just in time. Sharpay handed the picture to Gabriella.

Gabriella gazed at the picture and smiled. "He's beautiful."

"Thank you," Sharpay said as Gabriella handed the picture back to her. She put the picture back in her wallet and put the wallet back in her purse.

"Is it hard?"

"What?"

"Is it hard? To raise him?"

"No, not really. I mean, I live with my brother, and my younger siblings and my parents. Troy lives with his parents. One school week, Hunter's with me, the other school week, he's with Troy, and on the weekends, we stay the night at one another's house with Hunter so the time we spend with him is equal."

"Wow… Wish it was that way for me."

"Did your baby's father dump you when you told him you're pregnant?"

Gabriella nodded. "Usually the way it goes… I have the worst luck in guys."

"Well, you'll find that special someone. Trust me."

"You've been best friends with your special someone since you were in your mother's womb," Taylor said.

"Yeah, we've all known each other since we were in diapers," Kelsi said. "But, don't worry, Gabriella; we'll help you fit in with 'the crowd'."

"The crowd?" Gabriella asked.

"That's just Kelsi's way of saying that you can hang out with us anytime you want. We never leave anyone out," Sharpay said.

"Oh… Well, thanks. It's appreciated."

"It's not a problem. Listen, why don't you come to my place after school? We can get to know each other; Taylor and Kelsi will be there, too. You'll get a chance to meet Hunter, too. And my brothers and sister. What do you say?"

Gabriella smiled and nodded. "Sure, that'd be great; thanks."

"Again, not a problem. Need any help with anything, I'm you're gal. I'm a master."

"At least she thinks she is," Kelsi said.

Sharpay laughed, sitting on her bed next to Taylor. Gabriella and Kelsi were on the floor, playing the card game 'war', and Gabriella looked like she was winning. No one had ever beat Kelsi before, so Taylor, Sharpay, and even Kelsi herself were surprised. Sharpay was about to say something, until she heard Hunter crying. "Oh, that's my cue," Sharpay said.

"I'll get him," Taylor said, jumping up from the bed.

"Change his diaper then bring him here; I need to feed him."

"Will do, Momma," Taylor said before exiting the room.

"You need to put that kid on the bottle," Kelsi said.

"I know, but I feel comfortable with nursing him for right now. I'm a mother and I'm bonding with my child; leave me alone."

"Has he bitten you?" Gabriella asked.

"Plenty of times."

"Ouch."

"Tell me about it."

"Shar, Mom says to remember to take your medicine," Ryan said, poking his head in the door.

"Oh, I forgot. Thanks," Sharpay said, standing up. "Gabriella, this is my twin brother Ryan; Ryan, this is Gabriella; she's in English class with Kelsi, Taylor, and me."

"Nice to meet you," Ryan said.

"Same here," Gabriella said.

"Shar, don't forget about Bubba's rash ointment; you have to call and get a new prescription because he's running low on it."

"Alright. Thanks," Sharpay said. "Love you, Rugby."

"Love you, Soccer," Ryan said before leaving the room.

Sharpay got into her nightstand and got out a packet of blue pills and a few others.

"What are the pills for? If you don't mind me asking," Gabriella said.

"These ones are my ADHD medication," Sharpay said, putting a pink and an orange pill in her mouth. She threw her head back and swallowed, followed by a cough. "And this one," she said, holding up a blue pill. "Is my birth control," she said, putting it in her mouth.

"You shouldn't dry swallow; it-" Kelsi started.

"Burns your esophagus, I know. Thank you, Dr. Quinn."

"Jane Seymour to you."

Sharpay laughed. "You retard."

Taylor walked back into the room with Hunter on her hip and she handed him to Sharpay. "He was one stinky boy," she said.

Sharpay giggled. "Bubba, did you make Aunt Taylor's nostrils melt?"

"Just about. It sure cleared my sinuses."

Sharpay kissed Hunter on the cheek. "Bubba. Mommy has a new friend. Her name is Gabriella; Gabriella, this is Hunter Logan Bolton."

"He's even more gorgeous in person," Gabriella said, sitting on the bed next to Sharpay.

"Aw, thanks."

Hunter looked at Gabriella, and grinned making a gurgling noise as he blinked. Sharpay, Taylor, and Kelsi laughed.

"He's flirting with you," Sharpay said.

"Ah. Well, Hunter, I think I'm a bit too old for you, but grow up a little and I might be your pretend wife," Gabriella said.

"Are you hungry, Bubs?"

Hunter looked at Sharpay and pressed his hand to her breast; it's his way of telling her he's hungry or not feeling well. Sharpay smiled and laid Hunter on the bed and took her shirt off. She laid next to him on her side, and unbuckled her right bra cup, pressing her nipple to Hunter's mouth and he started sucking on her instantly.

"You look like a pro at this whole mom thing," Gabriella said.

"Well, I've have ten months of practice, plus ten years because of Annika and Lucas," Sharpay said.

"Is breast feeding easier than bottle feeding?"

"I dunno… I suppose it is, for some mothers, but I like nursing him. With bottles, babies get air bubbles, and it gives them bellyaches. Nursing, they get more nutrition in the first place, and they fill up faster."

"This child has never had a bottle," Taylor said.

"I don't want to get him hooked onto something that he'll only have for a few months before he starts using a sipper cup. I was hooked on bottles, and now I have overbite."

"Yeah, but it's cute."

"Yeah, on me. But, how do you know it'll be cute on Bubba?"

"Hello. He's the world's most beautiful baby. His teeth can come in crooked and upside down and people would still say he's gorgeous."

Sharpay shrugged. "I don't care. No bottles. Just sipper cups."

"Where's your bathroom?" Gabriella asked.

"Behind that door," Sharpay said, pointing to the bathroom door. "Feel sick?"

"Just a little. I'm gonna hang out in there until the feeling passes," Gabriella said, walking to the bathroom.

"Well, just yell if you need help. One of us will be on it in a jiffy."

"Thanks."

Sharpay watched Gabriella close the door and she looked at Hunter, who was starting to fall asleep. "You just got up from a nap; you're still tired?"

Hunter made a whining noise and Sharpay laughed. "Okay, go back to sleep," she said, laying her head on her arm. She closed her eyes and let out a breath.

"Mommy's tired, too," Taylor said.

"Yes, I am. If I end up falling asleep, don't wake me unless it's life threatening."

"What if it's about Jake Gyllenhaall?"

"Then, it's life threatening."
