Sadly, this story has come to an end. I found this a perfect opportunity to close it, after I wrote the chapter, so here's the final chapter.
When Sharpay and Jared went downstairs to talk with Ashley and Troy, things were quiet. Ashley had broken up with Jared, and Troy with Sharpay. Now that the chance was in, Troy had gotten together with Gabriella. Jared and Sharpay eventually got together as well, and Ashley started dating a guy she met in L.A. when she moved back to California. Ashley had taken Kayla and Mathew with her, while Jared kept Tracy in Albuquerque with him and Sharpay. Now, four years later, Sharpay and Jared have a seven-month-old son named Makaio, and an eighteen-month-old daughter named Mandy. Troy and Gabriella have a little boy together named Max, and Ashley called Sharpay a few weeks ago, to let her know that she's pregnant with her fourth child, and her boyfriend's second. Today, they were having a get-together, and the whole clan, plus kids, will be there.
It'll be Sharpay, Troy, Ryan, Gabriella, Kelsi, Jason, Zeke, Chad, Taylor, Ashley, Jared, and Ashley's boyfriend, Andrew for the adults. Sharpay and Troy's children, Hunter, Caitlyn, and Madison, Sharpay and Jared's children, Makaio and Mandy, Ryan and Kelsi's son, Trevor, Gabriella and Jason's daughter, Cady, Troy and Gabriella's son, Max, Chad and Taylor's son, Corbin, Ashley's children, Kayla and Mathew, Ashley and Jared's daughter, Tracy, and Ashley's boyfriend, Andrew's daughter, Melissa.
With the twelve adults and thirteen kids, it's hectic right now, but everyone's having a blast. Sharpay and Jared were forgiven for their mistakes, and everyone's accepted their love for each other. Now that everyone's happy, Ashley and Andrew had moved back to Albuquerque, and they're living next door to Sharpay and Jared. Troy and Gabriella live on the other side of them.
"No! Mom!" Caitlyn yelled.
Sharpay looked up, only to see Hunter carrying his sister over his shoulder, walking towards the pool. "Bubba, don't throw her in that pool!" she shouted.
Hunter obviously ignored Sharpay, and threw Caitlyn in the pool, infuriating Sharpay.
"Hunter, I said no!" Sharpay said.
"Hunter, Mom said not to throw her; go to your room," Troy said.
"But-" Hunter started.
"Go. Now."
"That's not fair."
"What's not fair is that you deliberately ignored your mother, now go to your room."
Hunter brushed past Sharpay, into the house, and her jaw dropped slightly. "He did not just do that to me."
"He did, and he's not gonna get away with it. I'll talk to him later."
"Thank you."
"Mommy, he's hungry," Ashley said, walking up to Sharpay, with Makaio in her arms, as he sucked at her breast.
"Why didn't you bring him to be before you started feeding him?" Sharpay asked.
"I was. He pulled my top down."
Sharpay laughed, and she took Makaio from Ashley, carefully. "Are you hungry, Honey?"
Makaio babbled, as he pulled Sharpay's right bikini cup down, and he started sucking on her breast. Sharpay laughed a little, and she ran her hand over Makaio's head, before settling it over his bare bottom, to hold him securely. "Why is he naked?" Sharpay asked.
"I had him in the pool with me," Ashley said.
"Did you go swimming with Auntie?"
Makaio giggled behind Sharpay's breast, and Sharpay laughed a little. "You're a piglet, y'know that?" Sharpay said.
"It's almost time to start the fireworks, Babe," Jared said, walking up behind Sharpay.
"Alright. Ash and Troy, you're in charge of getting the kids out to the front. They actually listen to you guys."
"We're on it," Ashley said.
"We'll meet you out there," Sharpay said, walking into the house.
After a little while, everyone was outside in the front, and Ryan and Jared were lighting the fireworks. Everyone was sitting at the edge of the curb, except Sharpay, who was sitting on the swinging bench on the porch. She was still nursing Makaio, so she stayed on the porch. Troy walked up to the porch, and he sat next to Sharpay on the bench.
"Why aren't you lighting with Ry and Jared?" Sharpay asked, leaning against Troy.
"I wanted to spend some time with two of my favorite people," Troy said, kissing Makaio's head lightly.
"Favorite?"
"Yeah. You, Mak, Gabi, the kids, and basketball. Those are a few of my favorite things."
"Theater, my kids, Jared, and you."
"Hm?"
"Those are a few of my favorite things."
Troy smiled, and they both leaned in, letting their lips press together as the last big firework went off.
So, that was it. I wanted to end it with Sharpay and Troy, since it started with Sharpay and Troy. I think it came out good. Gimme your thoughts.
