"Mom…Mommy?" Madeline searched the bedroom for her mom.

Sharpay stuck her head out of the bedroom closet to see what her daughter was calling her for. Madeline got a quick glance at her mom and rushed towards her.

"It's way past your bedtime little girl," Sharpay said as she continued to hang her clothes.

"Daddy doesn't love me anymore!" Madeline cried grabbing onto her mom's legs.

Sharpay dropped her clothes to hug her back. Times like these were when hugs came in the best, for comfort.

"Why would you say that?" She asked rubbing Madeline's back.

Madeline sniffed and buried her face with her hands as she continued to cry softly.

"I don't like Daniel!" She exclaimed in between cries.

"You can't blame Daniel for everything. He didn't do anything to you." Sharpay patted her, leading her towards the bed to sit down.

She felt sorry to see her daughter have to cry and yell out that she didn't like her little brother. It didn't surprise her at all. She knew very well that there was going to be a time that Madeline was going to explode with Troy focusing on the infant more. It became obvious when Madeline didn't talk to Troy as much anymore and she didn't leave her room at all, unless if she was called to be out of her room. There were times when Sharpay couldn't recall seeing her anywhere around the house; she seemed to have locked herself in her room. Maybe for just some time alone. Who knows?

"He's stealing my daddy!" Madeline cried as Sharpay moved her hands away from her face.

"Your daddy is also Daniel's daddy." Sharpay explained to her.

"No he isn't! He's mine!" Madeline pouted shifting her body.

Sharpay wasn't ready to get into this certain conversation with her and she couldn't think of another way to make Madeline understand that she had to share her dad now. She couldn't just have him all the time. It wasn't that Sharpay loved Madeline more than Daniel, but she sometimes wished that she didn't have another child, just for Madeline's sake. She was so much better as an only child and getting all the attention. Now it was really hard to get her to ever act like she liked anyone. She blamed Daniel for everything, but Sharpay could sense that she was blaming everyone else too.

"Your daddy just wants to be around the baby because he wasn't around when you---err..." Sharpay paused not realizing what she was about to tell her daughter.

"What?" Madeline cried.

"Err…Um…He just misses the times when you were a baby." Sharpay lied trying to come up with the best way to get out of her situation.

"Liar." Madeline stated.

This was one thing Sharpay didn't like about Madeline. She was a little too smart to be fooled and she always wanted to know what was going on around her. She wasn't going to let you go unless if you told her the whole story and you couldn't lie to her either, she would just find out!

"Maddie!" She snapped getting angry.

"You're lying to me mommy." Madeline wiped her eyes softly.

"I'm not lying to you." Sharpay stood up putting her hair back.

The room was suddenly getting hot from all the fuss.

"Daddy told me he wasn't with you when I was born—or until I was two!" Madeline stormed out of the room leaving Sharpay to stand there puzzled.

She couldn't believe Troy would actually tell Madeline that. It didn't sound like Troy. She walked out of the room and towards Madeline's bedroom, which she had closed and blocked.

"MADELINE! OPEN THE DOOR!" Sharpay shouted trying to ram the door open with her body.

"NO!" Madeline shouted from the other side of the door.

"You better open the door!" Sharpay said loudly with an angry tone.

That just got Madeline scared and she blocked the door even more, making sure that no one could come through.

Troy walked out of the baby's nursery to check on what was the yelling and banging going around in the house.

"What's going on?" He asked Sharpay who was trying to slam the door open.

Sharpay threw him a dirty look and banged on the door with her fist.

"OPEN THE DOOR!" She shouted.

"GO AWAY!" Madeline cried.

"DON'T TELL ME TO GO AWAY! I'M YOUR MOTHER!" Sharpay barked hitting the door.

"You're going to break that door!" Troy grabbed her fist away from the door.

Sharpay just pulled her hand away from his and shot him an even dirtier look. She looked really upset.

"What?" Troy asked her clueless.

"Why in the world would you tell her that?" She asked him with her icy tone.

Troy gave her a blank look.

"Tell her what?" He raised his eyebrow.

"That you weren't around when she was a baby!" Sharpay shot at him turning the doorknob.

"I didn't tell her that—I didn't tell her anything!" Troy answered still confuse. "Why would I tell my daughter that?"

"I don't know Troy. But why would you tell her that? You can't just do that okay? She's a child, it'll sting her. You can't do that. " Sharpay shook her head giving up with trying to get in Madeline's bedroom.

"I don't know what you're talking about. I didn't tell her anything. I wouldn't tell her that. I really wouldn't. It's something I will regret for the rest of my life and I'm trying to make the best of not making another mistake like that ever again! I wouldn't tell my child a mistake I've done, especially when it involves her!" Troy explained feeling his face turn hot.

Sharpay didn't want to have this argument. If Troy didn't tell Madeline then there's no one else who knows. No one. Not even Troy's parents. And their friends wouldn't have said anything. They haven't been around since Daniel was born and Madeline sure would have brought it up back then if someone had mentioned it to her. The fact that she said Troy told her, it was confusing Sharpay. She didn't know whom to believe. She knew why Troy wouldn't tell Madeline and she believed him that he would never tell her. But she also believed what Madeline had told her, it made sense.

"Then who told her? Who Troy? Who?" She said feeling tears come falling down her eyes.

She hadn't cried for so long. It was almost like she forgot how to cry or how it felt to cry—over Troy. Their relationship had been so smooth and nothing had gotten in their way, they never had a full on argument and Sharpay was very happy to know that. She didn't want to imagine having to watch walk out on her again, and this time it would be walking out on two kids and her.

"Shar, I really don't know what you're talking about. Really." Troy bent down to her level as she sunk to the floor, the wall protecting her back.

"Don't do this to me. Please." She cried hearing the door open slowly with Madeline's blue eyes glowing from the small opening.

Her eyes were still wet from the crying she had done before and her face was still pink.
