A/N: So yeah, I just finished watching war of the worlds after writing about ¾ of this chapter… and I think it was really good… funny, but good. :D so yeah…
Hotsodagirl – when I was younger, I always wanted a boy, but now that nobody in my family is having girls, I want one. :D
AtSundown22 – You will never know if Troy will ever find out if he has a baby… until the end of the story. :D
SimplyMarvy – thanks for the thought for the name. :D
iLoVeZaCeFrOn – I am glad you love it. :D
Shoelace22 – sorry the baby couldn't be a boy, I already have a plotline in the story, and it involves the baby being a girl. :D
xxAnnaxx – is there another cliffhanger this time:D
Supergirl-with-no-superpowers – Sharpay doesn't go out into public, but when she does, she is in public in Santa Fe, where nobody knows them. :D
"We still have to figure out a name for my little girl." Sharpay said.
"We can do that today. Do you want to go to Kelsi's family cookout? You don't mind if they know do you?" Ryan asked.
"As long as there aren't people from school there, I don't mind."
"I already cleared that, and we can take your computer so we can look up baby names on the internet." Sharpay nodded.
"When does it start?" Sharpay asked.
"At two, and they are also lighting off their fireworks tonight. That leaves us open go going wherever for fireworks tomorrow."
"Okay. That sound like some really good fun. We could go back up to Santa Fe for the fireworks there."
"Yeah, and I will invite Kelsi along with us." Ryan said. Sharpay nodded. Ryan placed a plate of food in front of her. She ate her food, and then went to go work for a little bit, and then she would get ready for the barbeque. The most intriguing call came from a seventeen year old girl named Lexi.
"Teen Crisis Line, how may I help you?" Sharpay asked.
"My name is Lexi, and… and… my boyfriend just beat me up." She said.
"Lexi, have you called the police?" Sharpay asked completely concerned.
"No." she answered.
"Okay, well, are you bleeding?"
"Yes, and I feel really tired, my head hurts." She said.
"Okay, you need to tell me your address."
"712 Lilly Street." Lexi told her.
"Is your boyfriend there with you?"
"Yes, he is still in the house somewhere. He hurt me really bad." She said.
"Okay, I am going to three-way the police and they are going to want to talk to you. Okay?"
"Okay." She whispered. She pushed the three way button, and dialed 911.
"Albuquerque 911, what is your emergency?"
"Hello, this is SE127 from the Teen Crisis Line, and I have someone who called and says that her boyfriend has beaten her up. Lexi, can you hear me?" Sharpay asked.
"Yeah." She whispered.
"The 911 operator is going to ask you a few questions okay."
"Alright, I'm tired though."
"Lexi? What happened?" The operator asked.
"My boyfriend beat me up, because… because I wouldn't sleep with him."
"Okay, and is your boyfriend still in the house?"
"Yeah, he is in the bedroom, I'm in the bathroom upstairs."
"Okay Lexi, I need you to lock the bathroom door, so he can't get in, okay?"
"Okay."
"Now, where are you hurt?" she asked.
"I'm hurt all over. There is a lot of blood."
"Okay, cops and an ambulance are coming, okay?" Lexi didn't answer.
"Lexi?" The operator asked.
"I think she may have passed out." Sharpay said.
"Do you know the address?"
"Yeah, it is 712 Lilly Street."
"Okay, thank you, we will stay on the line until the ambulance picks up the girl."
"Okay." Sharpay got up, and went upstairs where her brother was on his computer. She tapped him on the shoulder.
"What?" he asked as he turned around. She pushed him over, and typed on the computer what happened. He gasped and asked, "Is she okay?" she typed that she didn't know.
"Let me know what happens when you get off the phone." He whispered. Sharpay walked back downstairs and heard yelling in the background. After another few minutes, there was a knocking, and someone yelling for Lexi. A few pounding sounds and a crash later, someone picked up the phone and told Sharpay and the Operator they were there. The paramedic hung up Lexi's phone, as did Sharpay.
"The paramedics showed up and they picked her up." Sharpay said when she went back up stairs.
"Really?"
"Yep, we'll just have to check the newspaper tomorrow, to see what happened." Sharpay looked at her watch, and it was already 12:30. She shut off the Crisis Line box, and went upstairs to take a shower. When she got out, she picked out a pair of maternity jeans, and a button down shirt, that fit her stomach very well. She blow dried her hair, and curled it. After she did so, she put a blue flower clip in her hair, to match her shirt. Ryan waited at her bedroom door as she grabbed her tablet laptop. She grabbed a pillow off her bed, and they went to the car. Sharpay put on her seatbelt, and put the pillow on her stomach, just in case they saw anyone they knew, they wouldn't see her stomach. People would just think she had a pillow on her lap, propping up her tablet. It was one of those that you could turn around the screen, and use the pen mouse to write like it was a piece of paper.
When they got to Kelsi's, she hugged Sharpay and Ryan, and introduced the twins to her parents.
"Wow, I didn't know you were pregnant." Mrs. Neilson said when she saw Sharpay's tummy. Sharpay ran her hand over it, feeling the baby doing acrobatics.
"Yeah, well she's wiggling around pretty good." Sharpay told the woman.
"Yeah, and mom, don't tell anyone. I mean nobody. Especially Mrs. Cross." Kelsi said.
"Mrs. Cross?" Sharpay asked.
"He's on the basketball team with Troy." Ryan said.
"Troy?" Mrs. Neilson asked.
"This," She said, pointing to Sharpay's stomach, "Cannot get back to Troy! He can't know."
"Why?" Mrs. Neilson asked.
"It's complicated."
"Okay, I won't tell anyone." Mrs. Neilson complied. Everyone was joking and carrying on with each other, Sharpay and Ryan were welcomed to the barbeque as if they were family. Sharpay found another woman, Kelsi's cousin, who was also pregnant, but she was due a month before Sharpay was. She was sharing pregnancy stories with Monica while Ryan and Kelsi played with the kids.
"Food!" Kelsi's uncle, Jared, yelled around five o'clock. The kids all flocked to the grill to get some dinner.
"Wow." Sharpay said.
"Yeah, the kids get to eat first, then the pregnant ladies, then the other ladies, then the men." Monica told her. Sharpay laughed because her brother would be on of the last to get food. After the kids were fed, Monica and Sharpay made their way to the grill. Sharpay put a cheeseburger on her plate, and a couple chips. The two of them sat at one of the many picnic tables in the yard. Kelsi joined them a few minutes later. Ryan didn't show up until Sharpay was nearly done.
"Wow. You have got a big family Kels." Ryan said.
"Yeah, it's big and I like it that way." She replied.
"Yeah, you get used to it after a while; you never have a boring time at these barbeques. You always have someone to talk to." Monica inserted.
"We don't know, because we don't have anyone but ourselves, and the baby, but I guess we don't mind it." Sharpay said.
"I wouldn't mind having a big family like this though." Ryan said. Sharpay nodded. After the four were done eating, they got on the tablet, and started looking up baby names.
After an hour, they had a list of names they all liked, and had it saved into a word document. Sharpay closed the tablet, and put it in the car.
"It's starting to get dark. They will start the kids on sparklers soon." Kelsi said. Soon enough, all twenty children were running around the back yard with sparklers in their hands. When it did get dark, the firework crew, a.k.a. Kelsi's dad and her four uncles, started lighting the smaller fireworks.
After half an hour of the small ones, they decided to light of mortars. They had a good supply of them. Ryan and Kelsi lay on a picnic table, looking up at the sky, holding hands. Sharpay was enjoying the fireworks in the sky, but the sulfur made her start sneezing, she had to move to the back of the yard. The other three accompanied her.
When the fireworks ended, the party still didn't end. Everyone got to eat cake, and ice cream, and plenty more sugar.
"It seems like this party never ends!" Sharpay told Kelsi.
"With my family, it doesn't." she laughed. At midnight, Sharpay began to feel sleepy.
"Hey, Monica?" Sharpay said.
"Yeah?"
"I am getting pretty tired, so Ryan and I are going to go home."
"Okay, well, give me your number and I will call you tomorrow or something." She said.
"Okay. And we have to let each other know when we have our baby. Okay?"
"I certainly will do that." Monica smiled. They exchanged numbers, and then Sharpay and Ryan went to their car.
When they got home, Sharpay changed into a pair of tweety bird pajamas, and a tank top. She took the flower clip out of her hair, and brushed it. She fell onto her bed, fast asleep.
Ryan, when he got home, changed into his night clothes, and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth. He went to his bed, and tried to go to sleep. He couldn't fall asleep. After an hour of tossing and turning, he too, finally fell asleep.
