The two future in laws stared at the crowd in the Boltons' yard, smiling brightly. Troy and Sharpay shared a look before turning back to them. Shaun was already over there, hugging his parents. "I didn't think you guys were coming here so soon." Shaun exclaimed as his mom placed a kiss on each of his cheeks. He turned back to the Boltons and saw the two walking up to them to meet their guests. "I'm sorry Sharpay, Troy; I didn't know they were coming up here like this." Shaun apologized.

"It's ok Shaun. The more the merrier." Troy said with fake cheeriness. It's not like he hated Shauns' parents, it's just that they were a little...out there for him. That's saying much because Chad was a little out there and they were able to put up with him. Troy wrapped an arm around his wife and held his hand out for Shauns' dad, Liam, to shake. "It's nice to see you guys again."

Liam pushed the hand aside and embraced Troy who widened his eyes with surprise and awkwardly hugged the man back. He let go of Troy and grabbed Sharpays' hand, planting a kiss on the back of her hand while mock bowing. "Sharpay, looking great as always."

Sharpay literally had to pull her hand away, smiling fakely. "Thank you. It's nice to see you again as well."

Paula, Shauns' mother, smiled brightly at Troy, a bit flirtatiously, and pulled him in for a hug, pressing her body against his subtly. Troy bit back a groan and pulled away from her as quickly as possible without seeming too rude. As she let go of him she patted his butt before giving it a quick pinch, leaving Troy to jump and glance at Sharpay incredulously. Sharpay glared at the woman lightly, not wanting Shan to notice and wrapped her arm around Troy, slipping a hand inside his back jeans pocket and rubbing his butt affectionately as a way to dull the pain from the pinch.

Chad, who had seen the whole thing since their backs were to the group, laughed out loud along with the other guys leaving the girls to smack them. Ella didn't seem to notice as she smiled brightly and walked over to her future in laws. "Hey guys." She hugged them both before pulling away and standing next to her fiancé.

Paula gasped and pulled Ellas' shirt up, just enough to show her stomach, and kneeled down and mumbled to the baby. Troy and Sharpay shared yet another look subtly, shocked by the openness of the other parents. Ella didn't seem to mind as she started giggling. After a few seconds, Paula stopped and stood back up while Ella fixed her shirt. "Paula, stop being so weird, you're going to scare them." Liam scolded.

"Yeah because it's just her." Tyler muttered sarcastically as he approached the group. Troy heard him and smirked at him, nodding his head in agreement. "You remember our son Tyler right?" Troy asked, motioning to his look alike standing next to him.

Paula smiled and pulled him in for a hug as well, not doing anything inappropriate like she did for Troy. "You are just so cute." She pinched his cheeks while making baby sounds.

"Geez woman, I'm 16 years old; not six." He said defensively as he moved out of her reach, rubbing his cheeks. Troy and Sharpay bit back a laugh as Ella smacked her brother on the back of his head.

"Tyler, stop being rude to Paula." Ella scolded harshly, glaring at her brother.

"Psh, I'm being rude?" He mumbled as he walked back over to his family who he knew wouldn't pinch his cheeks. Lucille and Derby both started to spoil him at them moment, showering him with kisses and candy treats from their purses.

"I'm Jack, Troys' father." Jack introduced, making sure to only let them shake his hand. "It's nice to meet you."

"So mom, dad; how was your flight?" Shaun asked as they all walked back over to the table. Paula and Liam each grabbed a chair and scooted themselves between Ella and Tyler forcefully.

"It's was great pumpkin." Paula smiled at her only child. He was an official momma's boy. Tyler and Chad looked at each other and mouthed 'pumpkin' to one another amusedly. "How are things here?"

"Things are good. These are all of the Boltons' friends and family." Shaun gestured his arms to everyone at the table who muttered a hello to them politely and some waved. "They have been extremely nice to me." Shaun smiled at the couple, Ella grabbing his hand and giving it a squeeze.

"Your son is a great kid." Troy complimented back and Sharpay nodded her head in agreement.

"He gets that from me." Liam added his own two sense. Tyler couldn't help but chuckle, earning a slap from Lucille when everyone stared at him.

"Was something funny Tyler?" Ella said sharply, saying his name with venom as she glared at him. He shook his head bashfully. "That's what I thought." Ella dropped the glare and smiled brightly again. "So, how long are you guys staying for?"

"Until the baby is born silly." Paula answered with a laugh.

"We already have an apartment rented for us." Liam took a sip of his soda that he had poured for himself earlier. "We're thinking of even moving here that way we can be close to the baby afterwards."

Sharpay choked on her water that she just took a sip of. She quickly composed herself and smiled at them uneasily. "Moving here? Great." She glanced at Troy. "Isn't that great honey?"

"That does sound great." Troy glared at his son who was about to make a comment to himself.

"We just want to be near our grandchild."

"I think it's a great idea." Shaun smiled as did Ella.


"I can't believe they showed up like that." Ella squealed as her and Shaun were getting ready for bed. She threw on a pair of sweats and a loose t-shirt before walking into the bathroom. "I'm so excited that they're here." She called out to him as she opened the medicine cabinet and took out her bottle of vitamins. She took one out and put it in her mouth, downing it with some water.

Shaun walked into the bathroom and grabbed his tooth brush and toothpaste. "I know. I'm so happy that they're here as well. They've always wanted to be grandparents and be around kids again." He started brushing his teeth as did Ella. Minutes later, they spit in the sink before rinsing their mouths out with some water. Ella wiped her mouth on a towel as Shaun gurgled some Listerine. She went to put her vitamins away when she noticed something in the medicine cabinet. She took out the white box of birth control pills and threw them in the trash with a chuckle. Shaun noticed and shared a laugh with her. "You won't be needing those anymore."

Ella giggled and wrapped her arms around his neck, smelling the mint smell in his breath. "Those piece of crap pills didn't work." She leaned up and placed a soft kiss on his lips. "I love you."

"I love you too El." He smiled and the two walked out into their bedroom. Shaun situated himself on the bed and found a comfortable position. "I'll be right back." Ella announced, leaving the room. She walked over to her parents' room and knocked before entering the room.

Troy and Sharpay were snuggled up on their bed, watching some movie on the TV. They smiled at their daughter as she walked over to them. "Hey baby girl." Troy whispered as Ella sat down on the edge of the bed next to him.

She leaned down and placed a kiss on his cheek. "Good night daddy." She then leaned over and kissed Sharpay on the cheek. "Good night mom."

"Nighty night Ellabear." Sharpay smiled as Ella stood up. She walked back over to the door and turned around before leaving. "I love you guys." She said softly.

"We love you too Ella." Troy whispered back just as soft.

Ella left the room, closing the door behind her, before walking over to Tylers' room, opening the door after he said 'come in.' She poked her head in the door and smiled as she saw him playing a game on his Wii system. "Night snot face."

Tyler paused the game and turned to look at her, smirking. "Night soon to be whale."

Ella rolled her eyes but smiled none of the less. "Love you Ty-Ty." She heard him say it back to her as she closed the door. She retreated back to her room and noticed Shaun was already asleep. She giggled to herself before turning the lights off and shuffling onto the bed, wrapping her arms around his torso carefully so she didn't wake him. Failing in that task, she felt him wrap her up in his arms and he sighed into her hair. "Sweet dreams beautiful."

"Don't let the bed bugs bite." She replied teasingly, feeling him smile against her hair. He just shook his head at her immaturity level at the moment.


Before anyone knew it, it was September and the day school started for Tyler and Troy, since Troy was the basketball coach and PE teacher at East High. Tyler was going to be attending as a senior, him turning 17 that October. Ella was now 5 months pregnant, a slight bump taking over her once flat abdomen. The in laws have visited plenty of times to see how Ella was doing. At the moment, Ella and Shaun were still sleeping peacefully as Troy and Sharpay were in the process of waking up their very deep sleeper of a son. "He's your son." Sharpay muttered, glancing at her husband quickly.

Tyler let out a loud snore and the two laughed. "Of course he's always my son when he does something that doesn't meet your standards." He teased as he punched Tylers' shoulder that didn't make him budge. Sharpay left the room for a minute before returning with a pitcher of cold water. She dumped it on her son who shot up in his bed, screaming girlishly. "Ooo…you're going to wake Ella who'll rip you to pieces." Troy said as if Tyler had done the unthinkable, bringing his hands up to his mouth to cover it.

Sharpay giggled and slapped his chest before focusing back on Tyler. "It's time to get ready for school." She kissed his forehead maternally and brushed some bangs out of his face. "Hurry up and get ready; there's chocolate chip pancakes calling your name when you get down stairs." She smiled at her two boys before leaving the room.

"Dad, she's not going to take any pictures is she?" Tyler asked, frowning.

Troy chuckled and saw down on the edge of his sons' bed. "Tyler, she only takes pictures because she cares about you. She hates seeing you grow up so fast just like I do. Do me a favor and just suck it up and put a smile on your face for her alright?" Tyler nodded his head with a sigh and Troy patted his sons' shoulder before leaving the room. He walked over to Ellas' room just to make sure she didn't wake up from the screaming. She was still sleeping as well as Shaun who had a hand on her stomach protectively. Troy smiled softly before closing the door quietly and walking to his room to get ready for work.

Tyler walked down the stairs; shower fresh with his hair swept out of his face, wearing a red Wildcat t-shirt with a pair of blue jeans. He smelled the air and smiled, his mouth watering at the smell of pancakes. He walked into the kitchen and immediately took a seat, smiling at his mother who placed a plate of pancakes in front of him. "Thanks mom." He took a huge first bite and sighed contently. "Delicious."

Sharpay ruffled his hair slightly and went back to cleaning up the kitchen. Troy walked into the room at that moment and smelled the aroma of food just like Tyler did earlier. He placed a kiss on Sharpays' cheek before digging into a plate of pancakes, sitting across from his son. Soon enough, they were finished eating and Tyler was putting his sneakers on. Troy pulled Sharpay aside to have a private conversation with her. "Pay, I don't think you should take pictures this year." He said gently, a frown taking over her face. "Tyler is 16 years old now; he's too old for pictures." He kissed her forehead and she nodded her head reluctantly.

"I guess you're right." She sighed as she glanced at her son. "He's growing up as well and it's hard to watch." She admitted sadly, leaning her head on his shoulder.

"I know how you feel Pay." He said softly, closing his eyes as he leaned his head atop of hers. "I know how you feel."

"Can I drive today dad?" Tyler asked hopefully, breaking up their moment.

Sharpay looked at her son, eyes watering slightly, as she heard that question. He really is growing up. She smiled over at him as Troy nodded his head. Tyler pumped his fist in the air and walked to the kitchen to grab his fathers' car keys. He grabbed his bag and kissed his mother on the cheek. "Ready to go son?" Troy asked, grabbing his briefcase from the floor.

"Have a good day Ty." Sharpay kissed his cheek again before giving Troy a soft kiss on the lips. She smiled at them one last time before walking up the stairs to get ready for work. Troy had already started towards the door as Tyler looked up the stairs sadly.

"What's wrong buddy?" Troy asked worriedly.

"She didn't take any pictures." Tyler answered, frowning. "She always takes pictures."

"You're growing up Tyler; she's learning to accept that, just like I had to with Ella and am doing with you."

Tyler looked back at his father, dropping his bag on the ground. "One second." He raced up the stairs, not noticing Troy smiling proudly at him. He knocked on his mothers' door and waited until she opened it.

"Why haven't you left yet?" Sharpay asked, confused.

"I can't leave yet, you haven't taken any pictures for your album." He stated simply, smiling and grabbing her hand, leading her down the stairs. She let Tyler pull her down, still confused and a bit shocked. Troy smiled at him as Tyler passed him to grab the camera from the mantle in the living room. He returned with it and gave it to his mother. "Ready?"

Sharpay smiled brightly, tears rimming her eyes, and turned on the camera. Tyler stood next to his father, both smiling, and she took a few pictures of them together before getting some of Tyler alone. Once she was finished, she set the camera down and tightly embraced her only son. "Thank you Tyler." She whispered in his ear.

Tyler smiled and pulled away from her. "I know how much it means to you mom. I love you." He kissed her cheek before grabbing his bag and the keys again, jetting out the front door, excited to drive.

Troy turned to Sharpay who had silent tears running down her cheeks. He walked over to her and placed a kiss onto her lips. "Don't cry Pay."

"He took the pictures for me." She said quietly, hugging him tightly.

"He knew it would make you happy babe." Troy said as he took a few steps back. "I have to get going. I'll call you later alright?" She nodded her head and he smiled. "Good. I love you."

"I love you too Troy. Be safe." She warned, knowing Tyler could get a little crazy when it comes to driving.

Troy chuckled. "I will. Have a good day."


That night, around dinner time, Ella walked down the stairs from her two hour nap looking for Sharpay. She checked all throughout the house before finishing in the living room where Troy was. He was sitting on the couch with his feet on the coffee table, ankles crossed. "Daddy, where's mom?" She asked quietly, walking over and sitting on the couch.

"She went out for a girl's night and Shaun took Tyler to the gym. Why, are you ok?" He asked worriedly as he saw the frown on her face.

Ella shook her head. "No. I just needed to talk to mom."

"What about baby girl? Can I help?" He scooted closer to her and wrapped an arm around her shoulders.

It was a few minutes of silence until Ella whispered something almost inaudible. "I'm scared."

Troys' face softened into a smile before he pulled his arm back and patted his lap, signaling for Ella to sit on it. She tore her eyes away from her hands, where she looked nervously, and smiled slightly, scooting onto his lap. She wrapped her arms around him tightly while resting her head on his shoulder. "Scared of what princess?"

"Scared of being a mom." She whispered.

Troy placed a reassuring kiss on the top of her head as he held his little girl close to his heart. "I felt the same way when your mother told me about Tyler." He started off, stroking her hair.

"About Tyler? What about me?" She asked as she peered up at him. (She was only four years old when Troy came into her life so she doesn't really remember not having him around the first four years.) Troy sighed, knowing he was going to have to tell her the truth about what had happened with Sharpay and him. He took a deep breath before telling her the story, her nodding along with him and finishing by crying, slightly angry as well. "So I was just a drunken mistake?" She pushed herself away form him angrily.

"Ella, please don't act like this." He pleaded, his own eyes watering as were Ellas'. "We love you so much baby girl. We would never think of you like that."

"But that's what I am. I wasn't supposed to be here." She defended, wiping her eyes with her hands.

Troy nodded his head. "I'll admit, Ella, you weren't exactly planned but you were and still are the best thing that has ever happened to your mother and I. Don't think that we don't love because we do."

"I can't believe you guys never told me this." She glared at him before standing up and leaving the room, slamming her bedroom door shut after she entered. Troy sighed brokenly as he sat up, placing him elbows on his knees and his head in his hands. That's the same position Sharpay found him in when she returned home an hour later. She took one look at him before running over to him, sitting down and rubbing his back soothingly. "Baby, what's wrong?"

"I told Ella." Was his response, muffled by his hands.

Sharpay immediately knew what he was talking about and sighed as well. "Why did you tell her?"

Troy lifted his head out of his hands to glance at her. "She told me she was scared about becoming a mother and I slipped. I told her I felt the same way about Tyler and then she asked about her. God, I feel like shit." He muttered as she shook her head.

"Troy, it's ok. She needed to be told the truth anyway. I'm glad it came from you and not someone else, like Chad. Of course she's going to be upset about it; how would you feel if you were in her shoes."

"Angry, shocked, annoyed, the list goes on."

"Exactly. Let's just give her some time to digest it all and then we'll sit down and talk it out with her." Sharpay suggested, leaning her head against his back as he leaned down to put his head in his hands again. She continued to rub his back, just to let him know that she was there for him, knowing that he was taking the situation harder than she was.

Tyler entered the house thirty minutes later, drenched with sweat, and walked into the living room. "Shaun went to the store quickly. He said he'll be back soon." He announced just as he noticed his fathers' down mood and Sharpay trying to smile like nothing was wrong. "What happened?"

"Nothing Tyler. Why don't you go take a shower?" Sharpay said with a look that said 'leave.'

He gazed at them for a minute longer before standing up hesitantly. "I guess."

Sharpay nodded her head at him telling him that everything was alright and she could handle it. He climbed the stairs and was just about to enter his room when he heard faint sniffles coming form his sisters' room. Curiously and worriedly, he scurried over to her room and knocked on the door, pushing it open cautiously. "Ella?" He called out.

Ella shuffled in her bed to turn and look at her brother. "What?"

He quickly crossed the room and sat on the edge of her bed. "Are you ok?"

She quickly sat up, placing a hand on her stomach, before wiping her eyes. "What do you think?"

"Drop the sarcasm El. What's wrong?" He asked gently, placing a hand on her arm.

Ella took a few deep breaths before responding. "I was never supposed to happen."

Tyler blinked at her, confused. "What do you mean 'you were never supposed to happen?'"

"I was an accident Ty. A stupid drunken mistake between mom and dad." She explained, starting to cry again. "When they were in high school they despised each other. One night, at a party, they got drunk and had sex; the night I was conceived. I wasn't wanted."

Tylers' eyes widened at the new found information, completely understanding why she was so upset about it. He pulled his sister in for a much needed hug. "Ells, I'm so sorry." He whispered and held onto her while she cried into his shoulder. "I know for a fact that they don't feel that way anymore. What they did was a mistake, yes, but they love you so much. They were young and in high school." He kissed her hair. "The past is the past Ella; don't dwell on it. You're here and are the most amazing thing that happened between them, aside from me of course." He joked, succeeding in getting a giggle out of her.

Ella looked up at him and smiled through her tears. "You wish." Tyler rolled his eyes. "Thanks Ty, I needed to hear that. I love you." She leaned her head on his shoulder and he continued to comfort her. "You are pretty amazing though." She admitted.

He smiled. "I know." Tyler helped her lay down before lying beside her, still holding onto her. "You know, I don't say this enough Ella, but I'm always here for you if you need me. Especially now when you're going to be needing a lot of support."

"Aww…you're getting to be a softy." She teased as she giggled. "But I like it. Thanks little brother."

"Anytime big sister."

Later on that night, Troy went to go check on Ella after their fight, if you want to call it that. He quietly opened the door and peeked his head inside, smiling softly as he saw his children sleeping peacefully, holding onto one another. Sharpay came by his side and asked him what he was staring at and he just pointed to them, Sharpay smiling as well before grabbing her camera and snapping a picture. Shaun, who had seen them earlier, decided to let them sleep and made a bed on the couch for the night.


"Tyler?"

Sharpay gently shook her sons' shoulder the next morning, trying to wake him up for school without waking up Ella in the process. As always, he wouldn't wake up easily, frustrating Sharpay. She kneeled down and brushed hair out of his face softly, successfully waking him up. "It's been that easy all along?" She asked herself, watching as he fluttered his eyes open before smiling sleepily at her. "Morning sleepyhead."

"Good morning mom." He replied, carefully leaning up to not wake his sleeping sister. He quickly stretched before standing up, helping Sharpay up as well. He planted a quick kiss onto her cheek before bending down and placing a kiss on Ellas' forehead. "I'm going to go shower. I'll see you downstairs." He whispered to his mother before leaving the room, yawning.

Sharpay smiled softly at his actions and left the room as well, closing the door quietly behind her. She made sure Troy was awake quickly and made her way down the stairs, walking into the living room to wake Shaun up. Once he was awake, she smiled. "Tylers' getting ready for school now. Why don't you go upstairs to Ellas' bed, I'm sure your back hurts from this old thing." Shaun chuckled and smiled appreciatively, listening to her orders and trudging up the stairs to Ellas' room. Soon enough, Tyler, Troy and Sharpay were out of the house for school and work, leaving the two lovebirds to peacefully sleep for a few hours.


So…what'd you think?

I added a Sharpay/Tyler moment, Troy/Ella moment, Troy/Tyler moment and an Ella/ Tyler moment to kind of show you the relationships between them all! Please review and let me know what you think!
