A/N: So yeah, right now, it is 11 pm, and I am at my mother's house. Everyone has already gone to bed, but I am still awake. It's kind of creepy, because the keys of the keyboard are echoing I think… weird… onto reviews.

"I think that I am going to put my baby up for adoption." Sharpay said. The baby kicked her, so she put her hand on her stomach.

"But… WHY?" Ryan asked. Sharpay sighed.

"Because. Then nobody will find out. If I keep it, then someone will surely find out."

"Who cares if anyone finds out?" Kelsi asked. Sharpay took a big step towards Kelsi.

"I care if anyone finds out!" She said harshly. Kelsi took a step back

"Well, lets all do whatever Sharpay wants, just because if anyone does otherwise, her life will be utterly ruined! Just because you might be inconvenienced by some choice YOU made, that doesn't make it the baby's fault. Just be sure you tell the baby in eighteen years when they seek you out to ask why you did it. Tell them that you didn't want to have to deal with a kid, and so you got rid of it. Just like a pair of old jeans, you didn't want it, or it didn't fit into your life, so just toss it." Kelsi said. She stepped off the curb, and went to her car.

"Kelsi!" Ryan yelled.

"Are you taking her side now?" Sharpay asked. She looked livid.

"No, but I am not taking your side either. You may be my sister, but Kelsi is my girlfriend. You do what you want… it's your kid." Ryan said. He unlocked the car and got in. Sharpay went to the other side of the car and got in. the ride home was silent.

Sharpay thought about what Kelsi had said, but held firm on what she was thinking. She was seriously thinking about giving her baby up for adoption. When they got home, they both changed into their dance class outfits. They got their water bottles filled with cool water, and headed back to the car. At dance class, Sharpay didn't talk to anyone, she only danced.

After practice, the two of them had another silent ride. Sharpay took her book bag inside the house, and pulled out her homework. After finishing it, she put it back into the car, and started on dinner. She made some cheeseburgers, and French Fries. She took her dinner upstairs, and logged onto the internet, still not having said a word to her brother.

She looked up websites about adoption. She skipped along websites until she found one that gave her a phone number to call. She picked up her cell phone, and dialed the number.

"Hello, how may I help you?" The woman answered.

"Yes, I am pregnant, and I was wondering about putting my baby up for adoption." Sharpay said. The woman talked with her about several different things. She came out with an appointment at the local adoption agency that day, after her doctor's appointment was over. She checked her email, and found nothing that interested her, so she went to bed.

Ryan was downstairs; he ate his dinner, and did his homework. He thought of what his sister wanted to do. If she really wanted to do this, then he couldn't stop her. She was her own person. He knew that if his sister was determined, then there was nothing that was going to stand in her way. He washed the dishes, while still thinking about it. The subject matter didn't leave his mind until he was asleep, and even then, he dreamed about it.

On Saturday, Ryan drove Sharpay to the doctor's office. They went in, and were waiting for the nurse to call them back. Sharpay had started talking to Ryan again, but she had not said one word to Kelsi whatsoever.

"Sharpay Evans." The nurse said. They walked back to the exam room, and waited for the doctor to come in.

"Hello Sharpay." Dr Emerson said.

"Hey." She replied. The doctor did the usual tests, and carried on a conversation with her.

"Have you decided on any names for the baby?" She asked.

"No. I uh, was actually thinking about giving it up for adoption." She said. Dr. Emerson looked her in the eyes.

"Are you sure you want to do that?" She asked. Sharpay nodded. After the tests were finished, Dr Emerson said, "Now, I want you to come back in one week." She said.

"Why?" Sharpay asked.

"I want you to tell me more about your thoughts on why you want to give your baby up for adoption." She said. Sharpay nodded, and made the appointment. Sharpay and Ryan got into the car, and headed for the Adoption Agency. When they got there, they signed in, and sat in the waiting room.

"Ms. Evans." The woman called from the door across the room. The twins stood up, and went to an office.

"Hello, I am Mrs. Johnson, and I understand that you want to put your baby up for adoption?" Sharpay nodded.

"Yes, you see, the father doesn't know about the baby, and I don't want anyone else to know about it either." Sharpay explained. The woman nodded, and talked to Sharpay about the processes of adoption, the different kinds of adoption, and several different things. Sharpay was extremely interested.

"Now, I will give you these papers to take home and fill out, and then when you bring them back in, you can look at prospective parents." The woman said. Sharpay took the forms, and left the building.

"That seemed kind of fast." Sharpay said.

"Yeah, it did." Ryan agreed. Sharpay looked at the forms all the way home. When the two got home, Sharpay set them on the kitchen table, and went upstairs.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

The following Saturday, Sharpay decided she wanted to talk to Dr. Emerson alone. Ryan decided he could use this time to spend with Kelsi. Sharpay went to Dr. Emerson's office, and was called back not long after she got there. This time, she didn't go to an exam room; she went to an actual office.

"Hello Sharpay." Dr. Emerson greeted her.

"Hello Dr. Emerson. It's good to see you." They shook hands.

"Same here. So, have you felt the baby move yet?" She asked. Sharpay nodded.

"Happened almost two weeks ago. It was absolutely thrilling." She said.

"I bet. Listen, I wanted to talk to you about why you want to give this child up." She said. Sharpay nodded.

"Okay."

"Well, do you think you are doing the right thing?" She asked.

"Yes, I don't want the father to know that I have her."

"Is that the only reason?"

"No."

"What are the other reasons?"

"I don't want anyone to know." Dr. Emerson nodded.

"Follow me. I want to show you something." She said. They both got up, and went to the elevator. They went up to the birthing ward.

"This is where you will be in less than five short months." She said. She went to a staff room, and took out some scrubs. She instructed Sharpay to put them on, as she did, and they went to a birthing room. As she watched this mother give birth, she was slightly disgusted, but she saw the look on the mother's eyes when the baby was given to her. The mother cooed about how she loved the baby so much, and that she would never let her little boy go.

"How can someone love somebody so much when you've just met them?" She asked.

"It's the mother and the child; they've been together for nine months." She said. Dr. Emerson led Sharpay out of the room, and they discarded their scrubs. The doctor now led Sharpay down the hall, and to the big window where you could see all the babies.

"Ohh." Sharpay cooed. All the tiny things moved about in their little beds. They all looked adorable. After fifteen minutes of looking, Dr. Emerson took Sharpay into the room. She took a big healthy baby out of his bed, and put him in Sharpay's arms. The child was light, and Sharpay thought she might break the baby. She handed him back.

"Wow." Was all she could say. They left, and went back to Dr. Emerson's office.

"Well, Schedule an appointment for July 1st with me, and we'll check up on the baby, and maybe even tell you what you are having." She said. Sharpay did so, and left the office.

Kelsi went over to Ryan's house and they were just watching television, when Ryan had a question that he wanted to ask her.

"Kels?" he asked.

"What?" she answered.

"I was wondering, can I ask you a question without you getting mad?" Ryan asked.

"Yeah, I don't think I will get mad, I mean, I have no reason to." She said. Ryan tried to think of how he would say the sentence, without making it sound rude.

"Why did you get so upset when Sharpay said that she was thinking about giving her baby up for adoption?"

……………………………………………………………………………………………

Sharpay entered the house slowly, she didn't shut the door loudly, and it was actually very quiet. She was about to yell that she was home when she heard Ryan's voice.

"Why did you get so upset when Sharpay said that she was thinking about giving her baby up for adoption?" she heard him ask. She got closer to the living room, without being heard nor seen.

"Because." Kelsi started. She mustered her courage to tell her boyfriend.

"Because, what I said to Sharpay about how that baby would feel. Those feelings that the child is going to have eighteen years from now, they are real, and I feel them every day."

"What?" Ryan asked, apparently confused.

"I'm adopted Ryan."
