A/N: This dear chapter was completed at 1.33 pm, but due to a bout of retarded-grandfather-itis, this chapter would be posted a lot sooner, but no, my grandfather wont let anyone get on the internet, of course after he stayed on it until 1.30 on it, because he knew that I was going to ask him to get on it. But someone has to call the house number, so now nobody can get on the internet. Although he has a cell phone. And his wife has a cell phone, he cant give out the cell number, he has to give out the home phone number. That is the only reason why it's that way is so that I cannot get the internet… yes, his mind really does work that evil :D when I can check my reviews, I will post them on here… so yeah… talk to ya'll laters.

"Zeke, I want you to meet my daughter, Kimi." Sharpay said. Zeke tried to say something, but only stuttered.
"You have a baby?" He finally asked.
"Yeah, I do, I had her on September 4th." Sharpay explained.
"I didn't know you were pregnant." He said.
"That's why I told you I couldn't go out with you since January. I was pregnant, and I didn't want you to know. I forgot about the pictures on the mantle. Kelsi brought them over a couple weeks ago, and I guess I didn't think about them." He nodded, taking it all in.
"Who… who's the… the…" he started.
"Father?" she asked, he nodded. She took a deep breath. "Troy." She said, she looked down at her daughter.
"Troy never said anything about you being pregnant." He said.
"That's because he doesn't know." Sharpay said.
"How can he not know?" Zeke asked.
"Same way you didn't know. He didn't see me all summer when you could tell I was pregnant." She said.
"Wait… Troy is going out with Gabriella." He said.
"Yeah, and that is the reason why nobody knows. I can't tell Troy because then he'd tell Gabriella, then she'd be mad at me for Troy cheating on her, but I can't say that I don't know who the father is, because then I'd sound like a slut. You cannot tell Troy, they don't need to know about me having a baby. Okay? I don't want Gabriella being mad at me, although she did the same thing to her boyfriend." She stopped abruptly. She hadn't meant to say anything.
"What?" Zeke asked, catching what she had just said.
"Nothing." She blurted.
"Yeah right. What did Gabby do? Does this have something to do with why they aren't really talking to each other today?" Sharpay nodded.
"You cannot tell anyone, but I am a Teen Crisis Counselor, and Gabby ended up calling, and getting me, she doesn't know that it's me, but she said that she's pregnant, and it might not even be Troy's. And that only gives you more reason to keep tight lips about Kimi." She said.
"You have been lying to everyone." Zeke said.
"Only because I had to. What do you think that Troy would say if he found out that he was a father?" she asked.
"He would probably think that it's cool." Zeke said hopefully.
"Yeah, and what about Gabriella? And more importantly, what would your basketball coach say?" Zeke knew that Sharpay had a point. That didn't mean her daughter should have had to grow up in hiding. She looked at the little girl, whose eyes matched Sharpay's. It was the same shade of dark brown and everything.
"Can I hold her?" Zeke asked. Sharpay nodded, and carefully handed her baby over to her boyfriend. He looked somewhat scared that he was going to drop her.
"She's so light." He commented.
"She's about seven pounds now. She was 6 pounds 4 ounces when she was born though." Zeke sat at the dining room table, and looked at Kimi. He could see some aspects of Troy also. Chelsea was still standing in the same spot.
"Sharpay, you can bring Kimi upstairs to me before you leave, and I'll give you some time alone." Chelsea said. Sharpay nodded, and watched the Au Pair disappear into the hallway.
"She is the cutest baby I've ever seen." Zeke informed Sharpay.
"Thank you." Kimi started to cry, so Sharpay took her into her arms, and checked her diaper.
"If you want to come with me you can, I just have to change her." Sharpay said. They went upstairs to Kimi's room, and put her on the changing table. After they were finished, Sharpay knocked on Chelsea's open door, and told her Kimi was in her crib.
"We're going to be late for school." Sharpay said when she looked at her watch. They had totally missed lunch. The ride back to school was quiet. Zeke seemed to be overwhelmed with the information. When they parked, Sharpay got his attention.
"You promise you won't tell anyone?" she asked.
"Yeah, I promise." He replied. They went into school, where Sharpay found Kelsi and Ryan. Zeke went on to his locker, and Sharpay opened hers. Ryan's was right next to hers, which is where the other two were standing.
"So, I missed lunch." Sharpay told them.
"Why?" Kelsi asked.
"I forgot my Biology book at the house, and I told Zeke to wait in the living room while I went upstairs to my room. Chelsea thought I was in the living room. He knows now." Kelsi gasped.
"Do you think that he's going to tell Troy?" Ryan asked. All three of them peered down the hall, and took a look at Zeke who was high-fiving Troy. They talked for a few moments, and Zeke looked back down the hall at Sharpay. He pulled his thumb and index finger together across his lips, meaning 'My lips are sealed.'
"I don't think he will." Sharpay said, going back to her locker. The bell rang for them to go to class, which they did. During class, an announcement came over the loudspeaker that there was basketball practice after school. Sharpay thought it was weird that they would have practice in the beginning of October. They usually didn't start until November. After school, Sharpay was getting her homework out of her locker when Zeke came over to her.
"Is it alright if I come over after basketball practice, and I can spend more time getting to know Kimi?" He asked.
"Sure. I would love that. Oh, and why are you having practice so early in the year?"
"Coach Bolton says that West High already started practice, and we can't start losing to them again, so we're practicing harder and earlier than ever." He explained. Sharpay nodded, and she kissed his cheek. She walked toward the double doors that led to the parking lot, and Zeke headed for practice.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
After practice, Zeke was getting out of his practice uniform, and back into his street clothes, when Troy came up to him.
"What's up?" he asked. Chad was standing nearby also.
"Nothing." He said.
"Hey, I was wondering. What's up with you and Gabriella. You both seemed sort of… distant from each other." Zeke said.
"Oh, she told me that she cheated on me." He said. He sounded angry with that.
"What?" Chad asked.
"Yeah, I cannot believe she would do something like that to me. It's like I don't even mean anything to her." Troy told Chad.
"Are you going to dump her?" Chad asked.
"Nah, I think me and her can work it out, but I cannot believe she would want to cheat on me." Zeke started to fume. He did the same thing to Gabriella, but it's not like he was going to tell anyone.
"Man, I'm glad Taylor isn't like that." Chad said.
"I don't know when I am going to get over this dude." Troy said.
"Man, stop playin', it's not like you haven't done the same thing to Gabriella." Zeke said. He immediately knew that he'd screwed up.
"What?" Chad asked. Troy got up in Zeke's face.
"What did you just say? I've never cheated on Gabby," he said.
"Man, back off. Forget I said anything." Troy got closer.
"Did Sharpay say something to you?" he asked. Zeke pushed Troy away from him, and started to leave. He turned back around, looking at Chad, then Troy, who was getting off the ground.
"If you have never done anything like that, then how did you know I was talking about Sharpay?" Zeke asked. Troy looked at Chad.
"He has a point." Chad said. Troy looked at Zeke, and lunged at him. Troy tackled him to the ground, and punched him in the face. Zeke hit back. They were rolling around on the floor punching and kicking each other, while yelling at each other. This went on for a good five minutes before Coach Bolton figured out that there was a fight in the locker room. He pulled his son off Zeke, and held them both away from each other.
"Baylor. You are restricted from playing the first game." He said. He pushed each of the boys away from each other, and went back to his office.
"What!" Zeke yelled. He wondered how Troy didn't get restricted. Coach Bolton came out of his office.
"Ya want to make it two games?" he asked. Zeke shook his head, so the coach stepped back into his office. Troy wiped his bloody nose, and looked at Chad, who raised his hands, and backed away.
"I even have to admit; that was just wrong. Both you and your dad." He said. Him and Zeke both left the locker room.
"Did you really mean that. Troy cheated on Gabby?" Chad asked.
"I have already said too much. I promised Sharpay that I wouldn't." He said.
"You mean there's more?"
"Yes, but don't try to get it out of me. You don't want to see Sharpay mad." Zeke said. Chad cringed at the thought of Sharpay coming after him. He nodded and went to his car. Zeke did the same. Once at Sharpay's house, he knocked on the door. Ryan let him in.
"What happened to you? Did you get hit by a mack truck or something?" Kelsi asked. Zeke shook his head.
"I got into a fight with Troy."
"What?" Sharpay asked coming out of the kitchen. He turned and looked at her. She only had one eyebrow raised.
"Um, I was talking to him, and I asked what was up with him and Gabriella, and so he said that she'd cheated on him, and he was mad, and then he was saying that he couldn't believe she'd be so low as to cheat on him,-" Ryan snorted while Kelsi started laughing uncontrollably.
"Then I made the mistake of saying something along the lines of, 'you also cheated on your girlfriend, so shut up.' And so he decided to get into a fight with me, and then his dear daddy came out of his office and restricted me from the first game, but didn't give his own son anything."
"That's just plain wrong." Ryan said.
"Yeah, before picking the fight, he was all like 'what did Sharpay say to you?' right after he told me he hadn't cheated on Gabby. Chad said I had a point when I told him that if he never cheated on her, they why did he know I was talking about you?" Sharpay smiled.
"You said a little too much though. But at least you didn't give away Kimi." She said.
"Chad wanted to know what was going on, and I told him I'd said too much already, so he knows there is more, but he doesn't know what it is." Zeke said. Sharpay nodded. She looked down at the floor as she raised a finger, and pushed a button on the headset on her head.
"Teen Crisis Line, how may I help you?" she asked. She listened for a moment, she turned and went back in the kitchen. Zeke heard.
"And did you tell your boyfriend?" after a few minutes she came back out.
"That was Gabriella." She said.
"And? What's happened."
"She said that her and Troy got in a fight cause she told him she'd cheated on him, and she told him that she was pregnant. But then there was a different reason why she called me." She paused, thinking of how she should word her sentence.
"And what's that?" Kelsi asked.
"She had a miscarriage."
