I Want You This Much
Chapter 10
A/N: I own nothing, but the kids and idea. The song is "Out of the Blue" by Aly & AJ. Here's some moreCharpay, as my brother says. More drama, drama, drama! LOL. Enjoy!
Zeke watched Sharpay from the other side of the window in the hospital, holding Libby on his hip.
"Baby... There's Mommy," Zeke said, pointing to Sharpay. Libby nodded.
"Is Mommy okay?" Libby asked.
"I'm not going to lie to you, Libby. I don't know," he said sincerely. "The doctors haven't told me anything yet, but you'll be the first person I tell."
"You promise?" she asked, looking up at him with big glassy brown eyes.
"Promise," he swore and kissed her temple gently.
When something's pure
How can people just say we're not meant to be
And when something's true
How can people just keep me away from you
"Zeke!"
He turned around with Libby on his hip.
"Taylor!" Libby and Zeke sighed in unison.
Libby started sobbing as she reached for her aunt and Taylor generouslytook the small girl in her arms, pressingLibby's head toher chest.
Chad was rounding up his kids and telling them all to sit down and be quiet. He then made his way over to Zeke, swapping places with Taylor.
"How is she, Bro'?" Chad asked, concern written all over his face. He looked through the window and felt his heart break into a million different pieces inside.
Sharpay's eyes opened a little and she struggled to wave her hand, but succeeded a little bit, a small smile gracing her silkylips.
Chad smiled a little and waved back at his best friend.
Sharpay's hands flew to her aching stomach and she moaned in pain again,the other hand flying to her pounding temple.
Suddenly I'm all alone
Pushed away from nothing wrong
Don't you have the guts to say
How you feel about me
Out of the blue
They said we couldn't be together
I have to get over you
We've been given no choice
We have no voice
Out of the blue
Chad's smile dropped to a frown and he ran into the room, the door slamming loudly behind him. He raced toSharpay's side as tears started falling from her eyes.
"Sharpay, are you okay?" he asked, taking her hand in his own gingerly.
"Chad... The babies..." she heaved.
"But the doctors..." he started in defence.
"Are bitches!" she cut him off.
He rubbed her hand with hisfree one. "Mia, you're only aboutfourmonths in, five at the most... They can't come..."
"Well... its certainly not a miscarriage if that's what you mean," she growled just as the doctor came.
"Actually, Miss Evans, you're correct. It isn't... You're just experiencing after pains from the medication," he explained.
Chad turned around as he held Sharpay back from jumping out of the bed and trying to beat up her doctor.
"I'm sorry," the doctor apologized. "I'm Doctor Logan. You must be the father." He motioned toward Chad, making Chad and Sharpay laugh to tears.
"No, I'm just her best friend. Right, Babe?" Chad said, sitting next to Sharpay.
Sharpay nodded, sitting up and lying in his arms.
"Oh, I apologize again," Doctor Logan said apologetically.
Can't even call on the telephone
Don't even know, if you're at home
But to control just how we feel
Is between you and I, not for one to steal
"You said it wasn't a miscarriage?" Chad questioned.
"That's correct," Doctor Logan assured. "She's just in a minor bit of pain from her stress. We gave her some medication to calm her down and she should be fine now, but I'd like see her on this medication for a while."
"Of course," Chad nodded in agreement, running his hand through Sharpay's short blonde hair.
"I'll leave you alone," Doctor Logan said, leaving as he took notice of Sharpay dozing off.
Sharpay groaned in Chad's arms and shoved her head even further in the crook of his neck, feeling safe for the first time since James was born.
Suddenly I'm all alone
Pushed away from nothing wrong
Don't you have the guts to say
How you feel me about
Out of the blue
They said we couldn't be together
I have to get over you
We've been given no choice
We have no voice
"Mia... you need your rest," he informed, setting her back down on the bed. She pulled him next to her and held onto him, starting to break down.
"Shar..." he started, but she was now struggling to breathe through her hysterical sobbing on his chest. He rubbed her back, trying to calm her down to no avail. "I'm here... Shhh... Everything's okay, Babe. I'm here now. I'm not leaving, Sharpay. I'll never leave you," he assured.
"I can't live without you," she hiccupped.
"I know, Babe, I know," he nodded, continuing to rub her back as he tightened his grip on her body, pressing it up even closer to his.
Just wanna hear what you've got to say
Are you feelin' the same, 'cuz I'm not OK
Thought when we met, there was something more
But the other said no - they shut the door
"I couldn't live without you either, Mia," he added quickly as she continued to cry on in his arms.
"I love you," she wailed.
"I love you too, Honey," he assured as she wrapped her arms around him as tight as she possibly could.
"Why can't we be together?" she asked. He pulled away, letting her rest against the pillow as he propped his elbow up and placed his hand in his palm.
"Because you're with Zeke and are having two wonderful children, plus you have Libby already... And I'm married to Taylor, I love her too, not as much as you, but I love her, Mia. And I'm very happy with my wife and out children; no matter how many times I lose track of how many we have," he told her softly, combing his open hand though her hair. "Okay, Babe?"
She nodded and for a moment, he actually thought she would be done with her break down.
Out of the blue
They said we couldn't be together
I have to get over you
We've been given no choice
We have no voice
Sharpay burst into tears again after a few minutes.
"What's wrong, Hun?" Chad questioned, cradling her to his chest.
She shoved him away, standing up as the tears ceased to even show in her broken glassy brown eyes. "I should have seen it! That summer I was pregnant! You were really the only one who cared. You promised everything would be alright! You stayed with me through the doctor's appointments! Through the morning sickness! Through the weird cravings! Through the crying myself to sleep! You were there every second, Chad!" she shouted at him.
"What's the problem then?" he demanded to know, standing up next to her.
"Then you weren't," she whispered, looking to the floor and then back up at him to meet his gaze.
Within a second of their eyes meeting, Sharpay collapsed with only Chad to catch her, which he did.
He set her back on the bed and ran his fingers through her hair as she sunk into a deep sleep.
He looked her up and down and then screamed, running out of the room.
"SOMEBODY! HELP!" he screamed.
"What is it?" Taylor shouted as she ran to him.
"What's wrong?" Zeke cried, joining the two quickly.
"SHARPAY'S BLEEDING AGAIN!" Chad exclaimed and started crying.
Out of the blue
We knew we should've been together
Don't want to get over you
When love makes a choice
It has a voice
Out of the blue...
