"This may be a little cold" the ultrasound technician warned Sharpay with a smile as she started squeezing the jelly onto her stomach. She shivered at the contact with her skin; Troy took her hand as the nurse began to roll the ultrasound instrument backwards and forwards over her stomach. Mrs. Bolton took her other hand as they all stared at the screen. "From what I can see here, I'd say your just under 8 weeks" the technician said as she continued rolling the instrument over her stomach. "I can't see anything" Sharpay whispered as a tear rolled down her cheek, already feeling like a bad mother. "Honey your not that far gone your baby is the size of a kidney bean right now" Mrs. Bolton stated as she stroked Sharpay's hair. "She's right sweetie, it might not look like it on there but at 8 weeks your baby has started to develop fingers and toes, its breathing tubes are developing as are its lungs and its eyelids practically cover its eyes" the kind technician reassured her with a smile as she started wiping the jelly off Sharpay's stomach. Sharpay smiled as the nurse handed her a print out of her ultrasound picture, with points pinpointing where her "kidney bean" sized baby was. "Wow that tiny little thing is ours" Troy said softly as he helped Sharpay down off the ultrasound table. "It'll be a few months before you need another ultrasound but don't hesitate to visit your doctor or come back here if you have any concerns," the technician instructed as they left the hospital.
Mrs. Bolton dropped Troy and Sharpay off at Troy's house. Ryan wasn't exactly thrilled that his sister was expecting, "hey Ry wanna see your future niece or nephew?" she smiled holding out the ultrasound picture. "No thank you" he said icily before heading off upstairs to his room. Sharpay burst into tears, "Shar..sweetie..honey don't cry" Troy whispered wiping away her tears and holding her close. "Ignore your brother sweetheart, he's always been more like your mother than me" Mr. Evans said kissing his daughter on the top of her head. "I'm just popping to the store, Mrs. Bolton recommended that you start on some vitamins that a lot of women take during pregnancy..anything you guys need?" he asked. They both shook their heads, "we're good thanks daddy" Sharpay smiled as he walked out the front door. They sat down on the couch trying to watch a little tv, needless to say both of them were distracted. Sharpay lay with her legs across Troy's lap, "I wonder when I'll start to show" she wondered out loud holding her stomach. Troy smiled and put his hands on top of hers, "I've been reading up a little its different for different women but on average its usually about 16 weeks but it could be longer or even before". "Aww you've been reading up that's so sweet. Dya think you'll still be attracted to me when I've got a big bump?" Sharpay asked with tears in her eyes. "What kind of a question is that? Of course I will, Sharpay you're the most beautiful girl..woman I know and nothing will change that. And did you know that men think women are most beautiful when they are pregnant" he stated as he stroked her hand. She sat up and kissed him, he expected a quick peck but her tongue begged to explore his mouth. "Ugh gross, no wonder you're pregnant," Ryan snapped as he walked past them into the kitchen. Sharpay pulled away and followed her brother into the kitchen, Troy quickly followed. "Ryan stop being so childish whether you like it or not I'm pregnant but you're my brother and I love you I need your support, you don't have to be proud of me I don't expect you to be its hardly an achievement to be 16 and pregnant I know that but family are supposed to be there for family especially in times like these. So suck it up and support your sister that needs you or don't ever speak to me again" she stated before walking back out into the living room. "Ry look I know your not my biggest fan right now but she's right, we're all family now..this baby might be unplanned but this is a future we're talking about. Your gonna be a great uncle so please don't treat your sister like this, we need you man" Troy spoke giving Ryan a pat on the back. Ryan walked straight out into the living room giving his sister a huge hug, "I'm sorry" he whispered "you and Troy are gonna make amazing parents". "I'm so proud of my children" Mr. Evans spoke as he walked through the living room carrying lots of bags, "staying for dinner Troy? I'm making my famous spaghetti a la Robert Evans" he joked. The three teens laughed, "then how can I refuse Mr. B" he smiled.
