Gabriella watched Nathan's back softly rise and fall, thankful for the peace and quite. Looking at her son's face she could still see the tear streaks staining his features. Today had been one of the worst mornings of her life. First there was court which was a circus all in itself, reporters swarming where ever they went, activist shouting their unwanted opinions, and fans just trying to get a picture with the infamous Bolton family; it was all just draining. When they finally got away from the mobs, Troy insisted on celebrating much to Gabriella's dismay, who only wanted to get her son home.Hearing Troy's request, Sharpay soon chimed in with her opinion on restaurants, quickly engaging Maria who was just as excited as the rest.
Earlier that Day
"Miss. Gabriella you're going to love it here." Eric said excitedly pulling Gabriella by the hand. "They have animals, fish, and the best food ever, but don't worry about the animals, if you get scared you can hold my hand, cuz they have a really big ape and it makes a lot of noise, I always have to hold mommy's hand, but don't worry I have two, one for you and one for mommy, just in case…
"But then who's going to protect me?" Maria questioned stopping Eric. With a look of concentration on his face, Eric looked back and forth between the ladies.
"I guess daddy can protect mommy and I'll protect you Mima." Eric smiled reaching for Maria's hand.
"I hope you don't mind Sharpay." Maria took Eric's hand, and turned to look at Sharpay who waved her hand .
"Hey I'm used to it, labor pains means nothing these days."
"Well how about a swap? Would you mind holding on to Nathan for me, I want to give Eric my full attention as he shows me all those cool animals." Maria shifted Nathan on her hip, and smiled at Eric who was nodding his head vigorously.
"Yea mom I can be like a tour guide cuz I know where everything is, don't I Dad." Eric said proudly poking out his chest.
"You sure do bud."
Sharpay smiled, "Well you be sure to take good care of them, and Dad, the boys, and I will grab us a good table."
"Oh boy, come on hurry up, there's lots to see." Eric said bouncing on his toes.
Sharpay reached for Nathan, who gladly went into
her arms. Seeing this Gabriella visibly tensed, but didn't let the
smile falter from her face, as Sharpay kissed Nathan's cheeks.
Keeping her stare on Sharpay and her son, Gabriella allowed herself
to be pulled into the
restaurant.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Looking around the restaurant Eric spotted his parents at a table next to a cave like structure, that had a panther laying on top of a rock, letting it's paw hang and mechanically swing side to side. "Oh boy Mom got us the table next to the panthers, that's like the best table they have, come on." Eric said excitedly, once again pulling the ladies behind him. Once at the table Eric took the seat in between his parents, and Gabriella and Maria took two seats on the opposite side of the table. Nathan and Tyler both sat in high chairs at the head of the table Nathan in-between Sharpay and Gabriella, and Tyler in-between Maria and Troy.
"Here you go buddy." Troy said handing Eric a kids menu and some crayons. "Did you guys have fun?"
"Oh yes Eric, was an amazing tour guide, he has to be on of the smartest six year olds I know. How did you learn so much about animals?"
"Well I'm going to first grade after summer." Eric looked up from his coloring and proudly held up a finger . "So I got to go on a trip to the zoo. My Dad came too, everyone thought he was the coolest , because he can do any animal you want."
"It's one of my many undiscovered talents," Troy said smiling holding up his hands.
"I love zoo's, I wish I could have gone."
"Don't worry Miss Gabriella; I'm sure Dad won't mind taking us when you come to visit Nathan." Eric said thoughtfully, while reaching for another crayon. The quietness was interrupted as Sharpay choked on the water she was drinking, and the rest of the adults shared confused looks.
"Son, what do you mean when Miss. Gabriella comes to visit Nathan?" Eric turned his worried stare away from his mother as she gave him a small smile letting him know she was ok, and met his father's eyes.
"Well when Nathan comes to live with us, I figured Miss. Gabriella would want to come visit, in case she misses him" Eric said while looking around the table. His mother was suddenly very interested in whatever the menu had to offer, Gabriella just sat with her eyes cast down fiddling with her sliver ware, while Maria smiled and folded her hands.
"Buddy Miss. Gabriella is not going to come and visit Nathan." Eric furrowed his brow in confusion.
"Well why not, won't you miss him Miss. Gabriella?" Eric questioned turning to Gabriella. Troy shook his head and placed a hand on Eric's shoulder.
"Eric." Troy said pausing. "Miss. Gabriella won't have to visit Nathan,…. because she is going to take him home with her, when they leave."
"But……but he can't leave he's my brother, and family sticks together right Mommy?" Eric said franticly, looking away from his father, in hope to get confirmation from his mother. Sharpay felt her heart aching in her chest, as Eric looked to her with unshed tears. She and Troy had always instilled the importance of family in him, and now she was at a lost for words. Yes Nathan was his brother, but no he wouldn't see him everyday like Tyler, Sharpay couldn't think of one explanation that would take the tears from his eyes.
"Eric sweetie." Sharpay said running a hand down his cheek. "Yes it's true that family does stick together bu…"
"See I told you Dad, Nathan can't leave he's our family."
"But baby, he's their family too." Brushing some hair out of his face, Sharpay continued. "And just image how much they would miss him, and how sad Nathan would be with out them."
"But we'll miss him…" Eric whispered dropping his head. "Who's going to teach him basketball and football, and…and how to be the best solider there is huh?" Eric asked looking angrily around the table. "I'm his big brother; it's my job, not HERS!" Eric boomed raising an accusing finger at Gabriella.
"Eric that's enough." Troy hissed grabbing his arm and turning him to face him. "We do not point, and we certainly do not speak to adults that way, apologize to Miss. Gabriella right now."
"But Dad.."
"Eric I said apologize." Not backing down Troy tighten his grip, but in a quick movement, Eric wriggled free from his father's hold, and jumped up from his seat, out of his father's reach.
"This isn't a family." Backing further away fro the table, Eric turned to look at Gabriella. "This is a piece of junk, I…I hate you" Letting his tears fall, Eric took off from the table, and soon disappeared from sight. Seeing the commotion, and his brother's hasty exit, Tyler brought his hands up to his eyes, and began to cry. Troy cursed under his breath and threw his napkin on the table preparing to follow Eric.
"Troy let me." Placing a hand gently on Troy's arm, Maria gave him a reassuring smile. "That is if you don't mind." Troy shook his head, and watched as Maria walked towards where Eric disappeared. Running a hand through his hair Troy sighed deeply before reaching over and taking Tyler from his seat.
"Hey, little man its ok, Ricky's coming back." Tyler laid his head on his father's shoulder, as he whispered comforting words in his ear.
"Gabriella I'm sorry about Eric...I guess we should have clarified things a little better." Troy nodded his head in agreement, while still comforting Tyler. "He normally doesn't behave that way, I don't know.."
"It's ok Sharpay, no harm done." Gabriella forced a smile. She already knew how Sharpay felt about her, she was some home wrecker standing in the way of their perfect family, but just knowing that Eric felt the same, really hurt.
"Ty." Nathan's voice broke Gabriella away from her thoughts. "Ty..cry" He repeated pointing to his eye looking worriedly at his brother. Gabriella placed her napkin on the table preparing to pick Nathan up, but she was beat to the punch by Sharpay.
"Oh sweetie, Ty's ok." Sharpay smiled raising Nathan from his seat, placing him on her lap, so he could have a good look at Tyler. "See baby." Tyler soon perked up seeing that Nathan had come to visit him. Gabriella sat frozen, watching Sharpay and Troy with the children, feeling a huge amount of pressure in her chest, she had to excuse herself from the table afraid she would lose her composure.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
During her tour Maria remembered Eric really liked the part of the restaurant that had a fish tank layering the wall, making it seem as though the fish were actually swimming in the walls, he said it was second coolest to the panthers, so she wasn't surprised when she found him under a table with his knees held firmly against his chest, watching the fish swim.
"Wow these fish are really beautiful, and you have one of the greatest seats in the house…I hope you don't mind if I join you." Maria stooped down to look at Eric, who didn't speak but lightly shrugged. Taking this as a good sign Maria, pulled out one of the chairs and took a seat.
"You know sometimes when I'm walking in the park or driving to work I see interesting things along the way, and sometimes I like to make up stories about them, do you every do that?" Maria bent down to look under the table, Eric didn't answer, but she could tell he was interested in what she was saying.
"Well I think I want to make up a story about those two blue fish right there." Pointing to a pair of blue fish, Maria could hear Eric move under the table to get a better look. Smiling she continued. "They seem very close, best friends or better yet brothers; yea I think it's best that we say they are brothers. The one with the yellow line on his tail looks a little bigger, so he must be the big brother." Just then a big red fish swam over towards the two blue fish. "Wow Eric look at that!" Maria exclaimed watching as the bigger of the two blue fish began to swim circles around the smaller fish. "He knows his brother maybe in danger, and as the big brother he knows it's his job to protect his baby brother, he doesn't care how bigger the read fish is." Bored with the two fish the red fish swims away to the other side of the tank.
"That was a close call huh Eric?" Again looking under the table Maria is able to catch Eric nodding his head yes, with wide eyes. "Well this story is just getting interesting, you want to keep going?" Eric again nodded his head yes, causing Maria to smile, and resume with their story. "Well these two brothers are the best of friends but sometimes they get separated, but only for a while." As if on cue the smaller of the two fish, swims away from his brother, following a school of yellow fish. Maria stared at the fish thoughtfully. "And you see Eric even though they get separated, the bigger brother is not sad or afraid, because he knows his brother will come back to be with him again." Placing a hand on Maria's knee Eric crawled from under the table.
"How does he know?" He asked in a small voice, kneeling in front of her.
"It's love Mijo." Turning Maria cupped Eric's face in her hands, kissing away a stray tear that rolled down his cheek. "I know you love your little brother, and I can see that Nathan loves you just the same. And no matter where you are on earth you always have to remember, love builds bridges where there are none." Seeing Eric's eye brows furrowed in confusion, Maria chuckled.
"All that means is that, love is magical; and even though you will miss Nathan, he will always come back to be with you again, because he loves you." Eric turned to look back at the fish and smiled a bright smile when he saw the two blue fish together again.
"I'm sorry Mima.' Eric said turning back to look at Maria.
"I know sweetie, what do you say we go back to the table, Tyler and Nathan were both really upset when you left." Eric nodded is head and stood up, allowing Maria to stand to her feet. "Plus I need some one with experience help me chose what I should get for lunch." Maria added smiling holding out a hand to Eric. Returning her smile Eric took her hand.
"Well then I'm the guy you want, I know all the best stuff, they have pizza, nuggets, spaghetti…." Maria smiled while she listen to Eric list the best choices for dinner glad to see him back to his old self.
…………………………………………………………………………………………….
"Hi my name is Katherine and I'll be your waiter today." A young teen announced smiling brightly at Troy and Sharpay. "Can I interest you all in something to drink?" Pulling out a pad Katherine stared at them expectantly.
"I'm sorry Katherine, but I think we are going to need more time, it seems as though half of our table has disappear." Troy looked around the restaurant but saw no sign of Maria, Eric, or Gabriella.
"Well if you want I could grab your drinks, and by the time I get back, maybe the others will have returned."
"Ok sounds like a plan." Troy replied smiling. "Well my wife will have a tropical mango splash, virgin of course, we're expecting." Troy said smiling proudly while Sharpay rolled her eyes.
"Well congratulations, it's no surprise you would want more with theses two cuties here. Their adorable what's their names?"
Gabriella walked back toward the table, feeling a lot better after getting some fresh air. "Ok Gabi you can do this, eat lunch and go home. Nathan is yours no one is taking him any where." Gabriella said giving herself a pep talk. Hearing laughter, Gabriella paused behind one of the many trees that were a part of rain forest decor, and listened to the sound of Sharpay's voice.
"Yea well this time I'm really hoping for a girl, I need someone to help me keep these guys in line."
"Well you have beautiful children; you should really get them into acting or modeling." Katherine said handing Sharpay back her photo of Eric. "I mean his blue eyes are to die for." Gabriella felt herself again beginning to tense up at the mention of what could only be Nathan's eyes, considering that Tyler's were brown, she couldn't even step away from the table a for a minute without somehow being deleted from the picture.
"Thank you, and don't be surprised when you see their name in lights, that's B-o-l-t-…"
"He's my son." Having heard enough Gabriella let her presence be known appearing from behind the tree. Sharpay stopped turning her head to the side, to see Gabriella but something was different, she didn't seem like herself.
"Gabriella is everything ok?"
"He's mine not yours, got it." Gabriella said grabbing Nathan roughly from Sharpay.
"Is there a problem here, do I need to go get someone?" Katherine asked taking a step back, and away from Gabriella.
"And for dessert they have lava cake, cheese cake…" As Maria and Eric rounded the corner, and their table came into sight, Maria paused seeing Gabriella, tightly holding Nathan to her chest and Sharpay standing holding her hands up, in a claming fashion.
"What now." Walking faster towards the table, the argument could clearly be heard.
"Gabriella calm down, If I did anything wrong, Im.."
"Wrong." Gabriella scoffed. "Well would you call, feeding me, lies and going behind my back trying to steal my son wrong?"
"What." Sharpay said flabbergasted." I..I would never do…"
"Save it Sharpay I'm not listening to any more of your lies."
"Hold on Gabriella, why don't we all just take a deep breath and go back home and talk things over rationally." Troy said coming over to where the ladies stood. Maria was shocked to see, Gabriella so upset, when she only left a few moments ago, and things were fine.
"Gabi what is the meaning of this?" Maria asked letting go of Eric's hand, who quickly went to stand behind his father, afraid that the whole show down was his doing.
"It's just like I told you yesterday Mama, they want Nathan and they won't stop until I'm out of the picture."
"Gabriella stop and think ab.."
"No Mama not this time." Gabriella held her head high." We're leaving, with or with out you." Turning away from Sharpay, Troy, her mother and the patrons that watched on, Gabriella made her way towards the exit. Maria watched on shocked, as her daughter walked out the doors with out a single look back.
Present Time
Leaning down Gabriella kissed her son's head, though the whole lunch episode was pretty terrible, nothing beat the goodbyes at the house. Gabriella never imagined how quickly Nathan could become attached to the Bolton's, though he seemed to love them all; his bond with Troy is what stuck out in her mind. Nathan though a dare devil was very sensitive, and the sounds of his cries and of his voice calling out "Toy" as he clung to Troy's hand when Gabriella was walking out the door would never leave her mind. She hated being the cause of her son's pain, but she didn't know what else to do losing him just wasn't an option, she already had lost Tyler, she couldn't bear to lose another son.
"Ok home sweet home that will be 10. 50." The taxi driver said holding his hand out expectantly. Gabriella tried to reach for her purse with her free hand, but was stopped by her mother who handed the man a few bills. Stepping out the car Gabriella balanced Nathan on her shoulder while reaching for her bag out of the trunk; Maria grabbed both bags before Gabriella could.
"Mama, you don't have to, I can take.."
"We need to have a long talk when we get in the house Mija, save your energy." Gabriella stiffened at her mother's tone, those being the first words she had spoken to her since they left the restaurant, following her mother to the front door Gabriella waited patiently while she searched for the keys. Unlocking the door Maria walked into the house and dropped the bags reaching for the light switch, and yelped at the sight before her. There laid Mark, in her house sprawled out on the cough none the less, with some flowers and a toy that was most likely for Nathan, Maria really began to regret leaving Blue with Sara at the sight.
"Mark what are doing here." Gabriella asked surprised and partly relieved.
"Yea Mark, what are you doing here… in my house, I knew you were a deadbeat, but do you really need to add criminal to the list?"
"Mama!"
"Well it's lovely to see you again Maria." Mark stated rising from the couch, with the flowers. "These are for you." Mark reached the flowers toward Maria, who only stared at them as if they were poisonous.
"What, did you pick those from one of our unsuspecting neighbor's yards on your way over here?"
"Mama please, would you just please put Nathan down for me, and we can have that talk later I promise." Maria sighed, looking into her daughter's pleading eyes.
"Fine, but don't think I will forget about that talk." Taking Nathan into her arms, Maria turned her head to glare at Mark. "I'm like an elephant I never forget." Mark lowered his head feeling the power of Maria's glare as she walked out of the room.
"I guess some things never change." He said bringing a hand up scratch his neck, while tossing the flowers, on to an end table.
"She's just really protective." Walking further into the room Gabriella shrugged off her coat. "So why are you here Mark?"
"Well isn't that obvious." Mark took Gabriella's hand and turned her so she was facing him again. "To see you, and our son." Gabriella shivered at the contact but didn't make a move to let go of his hand.
"I really missed you Gabi." Gabriella turned her face away blushing under his stare.
"Well Nate and I missed you too, you know you still owe him some.."
"No, Gabriella I really missed you." Gabriella looked up to meet Mark's eyes, he hardly ever called her by her full name, and just the sound of it made tingles go up and down her spine.
"Mark I.."
"Wait let me finish." Grabbing her other hand Mark continued to bore into Gabriella's eyes. "Ever since I came back to town I've had this feeling that something was missing. I had my friends, and the business was doing great, so I really couldn't put my finger on it, but then you gave me a second chance. You allowed me to be a part of your life and most importantly the life of my son." Mark paused as a tear ran down his cheek. "Gabriella these past weeks with you and Nathan have been amazing, I've never felt more alive and complete, and I realized that when you were gone I felt this eternal emptiness. Gabriella I never want to feel that way again." Mark said getting down on one knee. Watching as Mark reached into his pocket, Gabriella gasped as he pulled out a small diamond ring.
"I know it's not much, but Gabriella Marie Alejandra Montez will you do me the honor of becoming my wife." Gabriella let out a shaky breath, as tears fell freely from her eyes; taking a step back she turned away from Mark not being able to face him.
"No Mark…you don't mean it." Bring a hand to her face, Gabriella cover her eyes, trying to hide the pain that was sure to be there.
"Gabi I've never meant anything more in my life I…I love you and Nathan, I want us to be a family."
"Stop...please" Gabriella said in a broken voice. She wanted her son to have everything in life, but she couldn't take the guilt, Mark deserved to know the truth even if it meant he would leave. "He's not yours." Gabriella whispered hanging her head.
"What?"
"Mark Nathan is not your son I lied." Gabriella turned back around to face Mark who was now standing, but still clutching on to the ring. "Do you remember when you first came back to town, and I arranged for the blood test?"
"Yea Gabi, and I'm so sorry about the way I behaved, but I'm a change man you have to.."
"Mark please just listen." Gabriella said raising a hand; Mark nodded and gestured for her to continue. "Well I was never really honest with you about those results." Gabriella sighed and began to pace while wringing her hands together. "Well the truth is the results came back negative not only for you…but me too. On the day Nate was born a couple by the name of Bolton also had a baby boy, and some how by some terrible mistake they gave us each the others child. The little boy who I have been raising for almost two years is really their son, and their little boy is really ours. I completely understand if you hate me forever, and never want to see me again..but please don't take this out on Nathan." Gabriella stopped pacing feeling Mark's hand on her arm.
"Gabriella I know at times I seem a bit naive but, I already knew the truth, sometimes I do watch the news." Mark smiled at the perplexed expression on Gabriella's face.
"You knew, and you still wanted to…I mean you still want to be with…ummm you don't.."
"Yes Gabriella I still wanted to purpose, yes I still want to be with you, and no I don't mind. I fell in love with Nathan over these past few weeks, and I want to raise him up as if he were my own." Gabriella gaped at Mark as he again got down on one knee.
"Now I do believe I asked you a question." Staring at the ring and Mark Gabriella felt her mouth go dry, she was never use to having the happy ending, but there it was right in front of her. Blinking back new unshed tears, she nodded her head yes, and let out a small laugh seeing Mark's eyes widen; sliding on the ring Mark let out a cheer, as he lifted Gabriella in the air.
"I do believe I'm going to make an honest woman out of you." He laughed spinning her around, as she swatted at him, hugging her close to his body. Placing her down, Mark smiled at Gabriella laughing trying to catch her breath. "You know, you glow when you laugh." Tucking a stray piece of hair behind her ear, Mark too her and hand lead her to the couch.
"Now tell me, how was your trip?"
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Sharpay slammed the phone down annoyed, she couldn't believe Gabriella was behaving like this. The whole restaurant incident had happened over a month ago, and she still refused to speak to herself or Troy, but she was thankful that every Saturday since, she would call and allow Nathan to talk to whomever he wished. Hearing his voice took away some of the hurt that came with being away from him. Placing a hand on her growing belly Sharpay made her way back to the living room.
"You were calling again, weren't you?"
"No." Sharpay said rolling her eyes. "Of course I wasn't calling a.."
"Shar."
"Ok fine, I was." Crossing her arms Sharpay sank into the couch avoiding her brother's knowing stare. Placing a mock version of a seating chart on the coffee table, Ryan turned to look at his sister.
"You just have to give her space, she'll come around." Ryan said placing a reassuring hand on his sister's knee.
"That's what I've been to doing for the past month Ryan, I mean how much space does she need." Pushing herself up Sharpay turned to look at Ryan. "I mean she comes here with this sweet front and is all, hi I'm Gabriella and I like flowers, sunsets, and I ever hoped for was world peace." Sharpay said rolling her eyes using a squeaky high voice, that was dead on for Gabriella's, Ryan stifled his laugh with his hand as Sharpay continued. "And then out of the blue she's all Nathan's mine stay away, like I'm some kind of kidnapper or something. Tell me what to do Ry." Sharpay sighed pouting, while laying her head in her brother's lap.
"I wish it were that easy, and I could fix everything like when Chad ripped your favorite cabbage patch doll's dress back in kindergarten.' Ryan said smiling running his fingers through his sister's hair.
"Yea that bastard sure was lucky you knew how to sow, or so help me his x-men action figures would have gotten it."
"The point is, this is just one of those things you have to wait out, you can't just use the element of surprise as if this were….." Ryan stopped abruptly, seeing his sister's smile, he knew that smile, and it didn't mean anything good. "Shar what's that smile for?" Ryan asked worriedly. Sharpay sat up smiling using Ryan's legs for support.
"You are the best brother in the world." She beamed kissing his cheeks, standing she made her wait back into the kitchen, closely followed by her brother.
"Ok, Sharpay whatever I said to make you smile like that, I take it back." Holding up his hands Ryan, approached his sister cautiously, as she reach for the phone. Sharpay ignore him, and continued to dial a number.
"Hi, this is Sharpay Bolton and I…oh thank you your so kind, yes for most, moving to the big screen is a big step." Ryan listen as his sister spoke in her "fan tone", waiting for a clue as to what she was doing. "Four first class seats would be lovely George."
"Oh God." Ryan said bringing a hand to his forehead, trying to think of what he just suggested.
"Ok see you next week toddles."
"Who are you seeing next week?" Troy asked entering the kitchen, with Eric on his shoulders, and Tyler attached to his leg.
"Well you guys won't believe it. I just got off the phone with Gabriella and she just asked if we would all come down next week for the boy's birthday." Sharpay said excitedly clapping her hands, and reaching for Tyler.
"Wow really! I can't wait to see Nathan, and Mima won't believe how good I am at reading, I have to go make Nathan a special brother's birthday card." Looking down at Tyler, Eric cupped his hands around his mouth and added. "Just like the one I made Ty." Troy smiled and took Eric off his shoulders, and watched as he ran upstairs as fast as he could. Turning back to his wife who now was spinning Tyler in circles, he notice Ryan sitting at the island frowning.
"Shar, did she say why the sudden change of heart?"
"She didn't really talk long, she just said the way we left things wasn't great and hoped we could start with a clean slate." Sharpay said, her years of theater teaching her always be ready to add lib. Troy stared questioningly at his wife, looking back and forth between her and Ryan.
"Right Ryan?" Sharpay asked brightly, sensing Troy's indecision. Ryan looked up from the island; too see both Troy and his sister staring at him. Knowing that Troy wasn't looking at her, Sharpay raised an eyebrow expecting at her bother, silently telling him, he better agree or else. Never one to go for the or else, Ryan quickly smiled and nodded his head yes.
"I wish I could join you guys, but Rebecca really wants me involved with planning the wedding." Sharpay smiled satisfied turning back to her husband, "See Troy nothing to be worried about." Kissing his cheek Sharpay whispered something in her husband's ear causing his face to light up.
"Ok come on Ty, I think it's time to teach you how to pick up surfer chicks." Troy took Tyler from Sharpay's arms, and threw him over his shoulder.
"See you later Ryan." He said clapping him on the back while making his way out of the room. Ryan smiled and waved goodbye, but groaned and as soon as he thought Troy was out of ear shot.
"Ok we're both going to hell." He said banging his head on the island. Sharpay walked over to her brother, and grabbed an apple.
"That's your problem Ry, your to dramatic." She said patting his back. "This is the perfect plan think about it, if Gabriella won't speak to me over the phone the only way I can talk some sense into her is to see her in person, besides she left me no choice." Waving a hand Sharpay walked over to the fridge.
"Ok Shar, lets think about this rationally, you've done some crazy things but.."
"Ryan, I'm going end of story." Grabbing two water bottles from the fridge Sharpay began making her back towards the living room. Staring after his sister Ryan played with the idea that Sharpay was too switch at birth and his real non-crazy sister was out there waiting to be found.
"Ryan get your ass in here, you can't seriously be considering putting Aunt Myrtle at a table with me." Ryan sighed and pushed himself up off the stool, thoughts of his true sister still swimming in his head.
