Thanks so much for taking the time out to keep telling me your thoughts it really keeps my creative juices flowing. Now if this is your first time reading this story, I'm sure you know by now what to do at the end, .Now this is the chapter is where Eric turns six…(sorry I said it was the last one before) Chad gets a knew look, and of course, Sharpay and Troy find out the truth about Tyler.

Sharpay walked into her closet looking for a certain black dress she desired, heading toward her 'Looks to kill' section she found her bow accented, fully lined, knee length Cady bustier Armani dress, taking the dress out Sharpay admired her great fashion sense.

"God, how do I do it?" She asked no one in particular, rubbing her hand against the garment, while holding the dress up to her self, looking into her full length mirror. "Oh yea….duh." Sharpay said winking at herself. Walking back into her bedroom Sharpay walked over to vanity picking up another, more plain and obviously cheaper black dress.

"Ok lord, I know things didn't go so well the first time, but considering the fact that you stuck me…I mean blessed me with yet another boy, please tell me you sprinkled a little something extra on him up there, and I'll call it even." Taking a deep breath Sharpay walked back toward her bed.

"Now, I know this may seem a little hard for most, but believe it or not despite your last name, deep down in there you're an Evan's, and we Evan's are know for many things acting, dancing, singing, lets just say we define theater. But…" Sharpay exclaimed, holding up the two dresses as she continued "We are also known for our great sense of fashion. Now your big brother didn't do so well on his test. I blame your father." Sharpay muttered. "But I have a second chance with you, now you're at the age its time….."

Taking a dramatic pauses Sharpay walk as close to the bed as possible. "Now baby find mommy's Armani." Sharpay closed her eyes holding her breath until she felt a little tug on one of the dresses. Opening her eyes she peered down at her sons little hand or should she say paw. Realizing his choice Sharpay dropped both dress on the bed and reached for a lion clad Tyler.

"Oh baby mommy's so proud of you, you did it, I just knew you were special when I first laid eyes on you." Sharpay spun Tyler around in circles, please to have some one else in the house with the gene. Tyler clapped together his hands giggling.

"Ok my little cub, ready to make our appearance, lets show'em what style is." Sharpay smiled putting Tyler down, straightening her leopard print dress, checking her makeup one last time she decide on a little more eyeliner. Looking down at Tyler's painted on whiskers, she smiled "Now we're both perfect."
Kids flew left and right around the backyard towards all the different actives, there was face painting, a jungle bounce, balloon animals, a Tarzan impersonator equipped with all his jungle friends, and not to mention access to as much sugar as they wanted. Troy sighed thinking of all the ways this party could have been easier on the wallet. Just then Taylor and Madison came walking around the house carrying a gift. "Uncle Troy." Madison exclaimed, letting go of her mother's hand running to Troy.

"Hey beautiful." Troy said scooping her up into his arms. "Now is it me, or have you gotten more beautiful since the last time I saw you?"

Madison giggled "Uncle Troy, you saw me yesterday."

"Really was it yesterday?" Troy said with a (fake) dumfounded expression. "Well you must get those good looks from this lady right over here." Troy said truing his attention to Taylor.

"Hey Taylor, your looking quite lovely this afternoon." Troy commented leaning in to kiss her cheek.

"Why thank you Troy." She said not able to yet comment on what he was sporting," So where's that birthday boy?" She asked holding up the gift.

"Watch this." Troy smiled turning around and placing Madison back on the ground. Cupping his hand around his mouth Troy yelled his best Tarzan call. "Ouahahoahaohaha" Earning him strange looks from both Taylor and Madison. With in seconds Eric appeared slightly out of breath.

"Aunt Taylor, Madison you're here." He exclaimed "And with a great big gift." His smile growing by the second, Troy shook his head.

"I know today your Eric of the jungle, but let's not forget how we greet the ladies." Troy said winking down to his son. Getting the message Eric walked over to his Aunt and took her hand "It's a pleasure to see you." Eric stated kissing Taylor's hand.

Taylor giggled "Troy you're too much"

"What can I say, like father like son." Troy said smiling "Speaking of fathers where's Chad?"

Taylor's expression became somber. "Eric why don't you go show Maddie where she could get some of that cool face paint, and I'll leave your present on the gift table.

"Sure." Eric said excitingly taking Madison hand. "Come on Maddie, I think you will make a great cheetah."Taylor watched as the two kids walk away, and then turned her attention back to Troy. "Troy there's been an accident…" She started but was immediately cut of by Troy.

"No." He said shaking he head, stepping back as his eyes instantly tearing up. Seeing his reaction Taylor quickly jumped back in. "No, it's not what you think.' Taylor raised her hands, taking a step closer. "He hasn't been physically hurt or anything, well except some damage to the ego." She sated laughing slightly.

"Oh thank God." Troy said letting out a deep breath. "Well where is he then?"

"Troy, you know how Madison changes what profession she wants to be practically everyday." Troy nodded his head in understanding." Well yesterday she decided she was going to be a hair dresser, and I was busy working on a case, so her only next available client was Chad."

"Naturally." Troy laughed. 'Well to make a long story short, I got up to grab something to drink, and somehow Madison mistook her play scissors for my real ones and now…." Taylor trailed off.

"I look like this." Chad said appearing around the side of the house, gone were his curly locks, in there place was a dark Caesar haircut. After getting over the initial shock, Troy exploded with laughter, holding his sides while his eyes once again began tearing.

"Look its Brittney Spears with a tan." Tory said hunching over with laughter. Chad stood next to is wife rubbing a hand over his now cold head. "Yeah Troy laugh it up, just let me know when you're done man." Chad said crossing his arms over his chest. Clearing his throat Troy stood upward, trying to hold in his laughter.

"No dude you look great, I always wonder what that scalp of yours looked like all these year. " Troy said once letting his laughter fill the back yard.

"Everybody's just has to be a comedian." Chad said glaring at Troy.

'Honey don't listen to him, I think it's sexy." Taylor smiled playing with the collar of his shirt." Raising his eyebrows Chad tuned to his wife "Really?" he asked pulling her closer to his body. "Really." She answered almost in a whisper on his lips, seeing where this conversation was heading, Troy cleared his throat. "Guys come on this is a family place, lets keep the PDA's to a minimum."

Sighing Chad leaned into Taylor whispering in her ear, "Lets pick this up later." Kissing her temple Chad reluctantly steeped back, to once again glare at Troy.

"Man you're 0 for 2 today, make that three considering what you're wearing." Chad said tuning the tables on Troy. Looking down at his lion cloth ensemble, identical to the one Eric was wearing, he didn't see the problem.

"Ill have you know Sharpay had this imported, and I bet I could still kick your butt on the court, lion cloth and all." Troy said taking a step closer to Chad.
Taking a step of his own Chad responded, "You want to go jungle man." Chad asked bringing a finger up to poke Troy in the chest.

"Ok, ok break it up boys." Taylor said breaking the two apart. "This is no way to behave especially at a child's birthday party. Now Chad say sorry to Troy for making fun of his….cloth."

"But honey he started.."

"Now Danforth." Taylor said tapping her foot. Dropping his head Chad muttered "I'm sorry." Troy snickered pleased with himself.

"Now Troy you apologize to Chad for making fun of his new look." With a shocked expression Troy began to protest. "I don't want to hear it." Taylor said raising her hand and tuning her head. "Well I'm not apologizing." Troy crossed his arms defiantly, like a child.

"I didn't want to have to do this, but you leave me no choice. Oh Sharpay." Taylor called making a move toward the house. In a panic Troy grabbed her arm "I'm really sorry Chad."

"Now doesn't that feel better?" Taylor asked smiling with her hand on each of the guys back, causing them both to roll there eyes. "Now you two behave yourself while I go drop this gift off on the table" Seeing Taylor walk away both guys loosened up.

"Chad I didn't mean what I said before, the hair really suits you."

"I know man, and it would have just been a friendly game of basketball, I mean I wouldn't whip my best friend to bad at his own house." Chad said laughing extending his hand. Accepting his hand Troy smiled, pulling him in patting his back.

'Man this looks like a really great party, I never had anything like this growing up."

"Who are you telling it would have cost my parents an arm and a leg to pull this off, back when I was Eric's age, but you know Sharpay has her mottos 'An Evans never thinks of the price, only the quality.'" Troy said performing on his best Sharpay impersonation, earning him a laugh from Chad. "She's a Bolton now, and she should be proud." Troy said poking out his chest, like a true jungle man.

"You know Bolton, nothings permanent." Troy froze caught again; he would never understand how she did that. Turning around there she was in all her glory "Honey we were wondering when you would come down, look Chad cut his hair." Troy said trying to take the attention off of himself.

"Its about time Taylor made you so something with that hair, you were beginning to look like a chia pet." Chad just smirked "All hail the ice queen." He said under his breath.

"What was that?" Sharpay asked raising her eyebrow. "Um….uh." Before Chad could come up with an answer, Taylor walked back over,"Shar you look gorgeous." Taylor stated both women giving each other's cheeks air kisses. "That leopard print screams you."

"What it didn't come in mountain lion." Chad said once again under his breath, loud enough for only Troy to hear.

"Oh Tay, here's that black dress you let me borrow, thanks again it was perfect." Sharpay said handing over a bag with the dress tucked neatly inside.

"No problem, happy I could help, so how did that event go anyway?"

"It went great, lets just say I passed with flying colors."

"When you first asked me to borrow it I was shocked, I mean I've seen the size of your closet." Taylor said laughing.

"But nothing I had was just right, but your dress was perfect." Sharpay said smiling. Turning her attention to Chad, she added. "And as for you I have a lion right here, who is very protective of his mother, so watch what you say." Chad open his mouth flabbergasted, looking to Troy.

"It's a gift and a curse." Troy said shrugging his shoulders.

"Da de." Tyler reached his arms toward his father. Smiling Troy took him form Sharpay's arms. "Hey there simba, you been working on that growl." Troy asked tickling Tyler's stomach. "Let's show them what we Bolton men are made of, ROAR." Troy said as loud as he could titling his head back, only causing Tyler to laugh more.

"Rah." Tyler mustered waving his little paw in the air. Causing all the adults to laugh. Eric came running over to the group holding a huge stick of cotton candy. "Hey mom, look, it's almost as big as Ty." Sharpay shuttered thinking of the effect this could have on his possible acting career, no one was going to hire a kid with no teeth at the age of six.

"Honey why don't you let Mommy hold on to that, while you go for a jump in the jungle bounce." Shrugging his shoulders Eric handed over the candy, and noticed his Uncle for the first time.

"Uncle Chad you're bald." He exclaimed pointing a finger at Chad's head.

"Eric!" Both his parents exclaimed. "What have I told you about pointing?" Sharpay started, "And Uncle Chad's not bald." Troy added.
"Sorry Uncle Chad."

"Its cool buddy, I had the same reaction when I first saw my look in the mirror." Chad said laughing.

"Ok Eric, I think its time for you to go back to playing with your friends." Sharpay said bending down to kiss his cheek, but before he could leave, Tyler was reaching down trying to get out of his Dad's arms and to his big bother.

"Ricky." He said reaching.

"Looks like you're going to have some company." Troy said putting Tyler down on the ground, watching him run to cling on to Eric.

"Awww dad come on he's a baby." Troy gave a shocked expression. "He is no ordinary baby, as you call it. Why look at his long tail, fury paws, and furious teeth." He said bending to the boys' level. "He could protect you from any harm that might come about in the jungle." Eric rolled his eyes.

"Your not buying any of this are you?"

"Nope, see ya dad." Eric said preparing to make a break for it.

"Hold it Eric, if you don't take your little brother with you, then I'm afraid I won't be able to take you to work with me, you know Ashley Tisdale, will be guest staring this week."

"Wow really mom?"

"Really, so what do you say?"

"I say you have your self a deal."

"That's my good boy, you know sweetie, everyone says Ashley looks like a replica of me."

"No way mom Ashley's HOT!"

Sharpay gasped, seeing her expression Troy stood up pushing Eric along. "Ok you two go have some fun." Eric took his brother's hand and headed off towards the jungle bounce. Sharpay stood frozen in shock, "You give them life, and then they turn on you."

"Honey, your way hotter than that Tisdale girl could ever be."

"Well I know that, it's your son that might possible need some glasses." Sharpay said smoothing her hair down.

"Yea Shar, I caught the show last week, and it's a thousand times better now that your back."

"Naturally, that bimbo they had to replace me did me no justice." Everyone nodded there heads in agreement, even Chad who still had no clue what soap opera Sharpay was on. Looking over towards the many dessert tables Chad saw a figure, and couldn't believe his eyes.

"Evans?" He called out questionably. Ryan turned around, and smiled walking over to the gang; it had been years since he seen Chad and Taylor, especially a almost hairless Chad.

"Hey Chad, Taylor great seeing you again." He said giving Taylor a hug. "And Chad you look great, it was about time you cut your hair, you were beginning to look like a ….Chia-pet!" He and Sharpay exclaimed together, causing everyone to chuckle, everyone but Chad that is.

"What can I say great minds think alike." Ryan said laughing draping an arm around Taylor, whispering something in her ear causing her to laugh more.

"Evans why don't you go and get your own girl." Chad stated pulling Taylor to him, with his eyebrows furrowed.

"No can do Chad, I happen to be already taken." Chad laughed and shook his head, "I don't see anybody, she's not invisible is she?" Ryan put his hands in his pockets, "No she's running a little late, a photo shoot ran over." He said as a matter of fact.

This only cause Chad to laugh even harder, "You hear that Troy, your brother in law is dating an invisible model." Chad said nudging Troy with his elbow, as Troy soon joined in on the laughter. Ryan only smirked knowing in the end he would have the last laugh.

"Oooo I love this song." Taylor said swaying her hips, approving of the DJ's next section.

"Me too, I mean how could one man be so sexy." Sharpay added Taylor nodding in agreement, and the guys rolling their eyes." Ryan extended a hand to each of the ladies "May I have this dance?" He asked charmingly. Both women took his hand smiling and prepared to make their exit, but not before Chad could protest.

"Hey what about us?" Chad asked pouting. Ryan stopped and turned his head looking over his shoulder. "Come on Chad you don't dance remember?" He said laughing continuing toward the dance floor. Extending a finger at Ryan's back Chad yelled "You know I can." But the trio was far gone, and Ryan in between the ladies, wave his hand at Chad as he dipped Taylor on the dance floor.

"Way to go man." Troy said pushing Chad's arm., "You had to make fun of his invisible girlfriend, and now he's got ours." Crossing his arms Troy glared at Chad.

"Well maybe he'll let us cut in." Chad said scratching his head, watching as the women laughed being twirled on the dance floor. Pulling both girls to his chest, Ryan knew he had an audience, and sent a wink the guys' way.

"Don't count on it." Troy muttered

…………………………………………………………………….

Sharpay walked circles around Eric's birthday cake trying to decide on the perfect place for the candles, as Troy watched on amused. "Shar their just candles, just stick' em."

"Troy this is no ordinary cake." Sharpay said raising a hand toward the cake. "Do you have any idea how long it took me to find the perfect bakery? Fabulous is not easy to find." Or cheap Troy thought to himself, looking at the amazing four layer rain forest themed birthday cake, with jungle animal's hanging on to baboon shoots, trees, flowers, and even butterflies flying around the sides. (To get a visual you can so to Just Fabulous my baby will only turn six once in his life, so everything has to be perfect."

"Just stick them on the top and Eric can stand on a chair, or something to blow them out."

"Hmmm maybe, but is that really the best angle for a photo opp."

Troy sighed "Ok how about I hold him up at whatever angle you want."

"Fabulous." Sharpay said as Chad poked his head into the kitchen.

"Troy you better get that cake out here soon or these kids are going to turn into real animals."

"All set." Sharpay said putting in the last candle, just as the phone began to ring. "Ok you take the cake." She said gesturing to Chad, "You answer the phone." Now gesturing to Troy. "And I…., well looking this good is work all in itself." Sharpay added making her way out the glass doors camera in hand. Chad rolled his eyes taking the cake,

"Man I don't know how you do it." He said making his way out the doors. Troy laughed headed over to the phone in the wall.

"Hello, you've reached the Bolton jungle, how may I help you?"

"Hello Is this Mr. Troy Bolton?"

"Yes, and you are?"

"Good evening Mr. Bolton, My name is Derek James, and I am with the firm James Law Offices in California. I represent a Ms. Montez and her son Nathan."

"Gabriella and Nathan? Not to be rude but, what does that have to do with me?" Troy asked eyebrows furrowing.

"Well you see Mr. Bolton its not about you, it's about your son…Tyler I think it is?" At the mention of Tyler's name Troy's head shot up and he peered out the glass doors, to see his wife holding his son waiting with a group of large children and adults around the cake. Sharpay caught Troy's stare and gestured to him to hurry up. Holding up a finger, Troy continued.

"What do you want with my son?" Troy question losing his polite tone, which Mr. James immediately noticed.

"Well Mr. Bolton I'm going to be straight with you, there is a chance that the hospital made a terrible mistake the day both Gabriella and your wife gave birth, and we are going to need you to take your son in for testing immediately."

Troy's heart began to beat out of his chest; he could feel his emotions boiling over. Who did this guy think he was, there was nothing wrong with his family, and he would be dammed if some stranger was going to tell him other wise.

"Look I don't know who the hell you are or what the hell you want, but one thing I know for sure is, you better keep my family out of your mouth, or your the one who's going to need the hospital, and do me a favor lose my number." Troy said slamming down the phone. Pulling his hand back from the phone he realized how white his knuckles were from gripping it so tight. Taking a deep breath, he shook his head trying to clear the thoughts from his mind, as he made his way out the door and to his wife.

"Finally, who was that on the phone?"

"Nobody, just a wrong number." Troy said forcing himself to smile, picking up Eric he announced "Now who's ready for some cake!"

………………………………………………………..

Troy pulled into the driveway happy to finally be home, whistling he got out of his car and made his way up the steps. Opening the door Troy could tell something was up, the house was to quite and dark. Stepping inside he called out "Lucy I'm home." In his best Ricky Ricardo accent, but still nothing. Making his way over to a lamp he flipped the switch, filling the room with light, but as he turned back around, he jumped. Sharpay sat like a stone on the couch papers clutched in her hands, with tear tracks on her face.

"Shar what's the matter?" Troy asked kneeling in front of his wife, never seeing her in this state before.

Pushing passed her husband Sharpay stood up, shoving the papers into his chest. "What's this?" Troy asked confused.

"It a summons Troy, you know the kind of papers when they want you to go to court. But I'm sure you already knew all about that, didn't you."

"Shar I have no clue what you're talking about."

"No clue huh, is it just like at Eric birthday, when I asked who was on the phone and you said nobody?" Troy gulped, as everything began to dawn on him.

"Is it all coming back to you now Troy, IS IT?" Sharpay asked screaming. "Do you how I felt reading those papers…

"Shar..." Troy said taking a step toward his wife. Sharpay raised her hand stopping him in his tracks. "Do you have any fing clue, how it felt hearing someone tell me my son possible wasn't mine, and on top of that my husband, kept it from me."

"Sharpay please, I didn't mean for this to happen, I never want to see you hurting." Troy said moving closer to his wife.

"Well Troy this is as hurt as I could ever be." Moving away from him Sharpay made her way up the steps and into Tyler's room. Moving over to his crib she looked down at him as he slept, and brought a hand down smoothing out his hair, which caused him to stir. Blinking open his eyes, Tyler looked up to his mother, and instantly reached out his arms.

"Ma ma up" Sharpay smiled down to her son try to blink back her tears. Raising him out of the bed Sharpay brought him to her chest, and he laid his head on her shoulder letting his arms wrap around her neck. Sharpay took in a deep breath and rubbed small circles on his back.

"Mommy's here, don't worry baby mommy will always be here." Holding Tyler as close as possible Sharpay let her tears fall, for only the second time in her adult life.
