A/N: And so comes another late chapter… I am really sorry, but my plate is full. My mom came back, my brother split with his girlfriend for good, he's got another girl now, my brother nearly killed himself, my grandma went to the hospital… and yeah… things are going better than they were a while ago… :D I got netflix, and it is great… lol… so yeah, here's the reviews, and another chapter.

HighSchoolMusicalObsessed – I am glad you like my story. I never really know what's going to happen in my story, so it's kind of a surprise for me too. When it lands on a cliffhanger, I didn't know it was going to be one… so yeah. :D

Hotsodagirl- yeah, I thought it was funny, because I don't watch soaps at all, but I thought it was funny to put in there that Chad watches soaps. :D

Billybobbers – In the end, Sharpay and Ryan's mother came back, but was too stupid to see that Chelsea was not Sharpay, so she thought her daughter was there, when it was actually Chelsea.

Theferretmenace – lol

Deep Thinking – Thanks for reading.

Crushie –yeah, Troy should be in Kimi's life, without him, then she wouldn't have a daddy. My sister was telling me of my brothers' new girl, she's got a dog that's half Shar-Pei, and half pitbull, and I said, ack, and my sister said 'well, basically, Kimi is half Sharpay and half Troy.' And started laughing, it was funny.

Sylvia – I am glad you helped me with the chapter, or I still wouldn't have written it. :D

XXXTroypay-4EVERXXX – Sharpay and Ryan's mother came back, and she thought that Chelsea, the baby-sitter was Sharpay.

XxAnnaxx – you are a great support, thanks. You, crushie, hotsodagirl, sylvia, and Theferretmenace all have been great reviewers from the beginning :D

"Sharpay honey, I'm your mother." The woman said. Chelsea looked at the woman like she was mad.

"Woman, I don't know who you are!" Chelsea exclaimed. A car door shut behind the woman, who didn't notice.

"Sharpay, I know that I haven't been around for a little while, but it doesn't mean that you needed to forget me altogether. You don't need to pretend like you don't know me."

"You were gone for more than just 'a little while', and when you try coming back home and try to get on our good side, make sure you're really talking to your daughter." Sharpay said from behind the woman. She turned around.

"What?" The woman asked.

"I am Sharpay, that is Chelsea." Sharpay said, pushing past her mother and went into the house. She dropped her keys on the table by the couch.

"Chelsea? Wow, Sharpay honey, you have really grown up." Shari caressed Sharpay's face. The daughter pushed her mother's hand away.

"More than you know." She said. Shari had yet to realize Troy was standing by Chelsea, Kimi in his arms.

"What's the commotion?" Ryan asked as he came into the living room. He stopped abruptly. Kelsi was behind him, and Zeke was behind her.

"Who's that?" Kelsi whispered to Ryan. Zeke's eyes widened.

"My mom." He whispered back. Shari turned around.

"Ryan! You look so handsome!" She exclaimed. She tightly embraced Ryan, who only stood there, and didn't hug back. She looked at Kelsi, and asked, "Who is this girl, and this… young man?" She asked. Zeke noticed the hesitation in the woman's voice. Shari wasn't too keen on colored people.

"She is Kelsi, my girlfriend. And this is Zeke, Sharpay's boyfriend."

"Oh," She smiled and turned around.

"Oh hello there young man. And what have you got there?" she spotted Kimi and immediately took her from Troy's arms.

"You are the cutest baby in the whole wide world!" She cooed. She looked back up.

"And what's your name?" she asked.

"Troy." He answered.

"And I believe this is your little girl?" She asked, looking at Chelsea. She shook her head.

"Oh well, but you better be finding this baby a mother soon." She said, walking around the room. She spotted the mantle. She saw not one picture of herself. She only saw pictures of Ryan, Sharpay and their father. When she got to the other end of the mantle, she gasped.

"WHAT?" She exclaimed. She whipped around.

"Is this your daughter?" She asked Sharpay.

"Yes, and I would appreciate it if you gave my daughter back." Sharpay took her daughter, and handed her back to Troy.

"And Zeke is the father? The baby doesn't look the slightest bit… Negro." She said. Sharpay was only getting angrier.

"No, Troy is the father." Shari gasped.

"Then why aren't you with him?" she asked.

"Because, he has a girlfriend."

"So, he's better than a black bo-" Shari felt a sharp pain across her face. Sharpay put her hand down.

"Young lady, that is un-called for." She said.

"I will not tolerate racism in my house!" Sharpay said.

"Your house? This is my house too." She exclaimed.

"No, this hasn't been your house since you left." Shari looked at Ryan.

"Tell her baby, tell her that this is my house too." Ryan shook his head.

"This hasn't been your house for nearly ten years." He said. When they were little, Ryan had always said what Shari wanted to hear.

"But, I love you guys. I want to be in your life." She said.

"You made the choice not to be in our lives for so long, that we've learned to live without you." Ryan said.

"But, it's not like I haven't kept tabs on you two. I have sent letters and cards. I know what's been going on in your lives." She retorted. Sharpay laughed.

"Yeah, one card and one letter when we were thirteen. That is really keeping tabs." She laughed.

"Your father has brain washed you two, hasn't he. Where is that piece of trash, I have a few words to say to him." She said loudly, looking around the room.

"If you do not lower your voice, I will have to ask you to leave my house." Sharpay said calmly.

"Your house? Why do you keep calling it YOUR house? It's your father's house." She said snidely.

"If you keep such close tabs on Ryan and I, then you would know that it's our house, because dad died a year ago as of tomorrow." Sharpay said. Shari gasped.

"You can leave, and come back tomorrow when you learn not to raise your voice in this house. I do not need me and Troy's daughter to hear that." Sharpay shoved Shari out of the house, and slammed the door.

"That was… intense." Zeke said. Sharpay flopped on the couch, sighing.

"Yeah, I guess it was." Sharpay said.

"What are you going to do though? I mean, your mom just came back, that's gotta be pretty wild. Ten years." Kelsi said. Sharpay sat up, and looked over the edge of the couch to see Kelsi.

"That woman is not my mother."

"But, she said that sh-" Troy said, confused.

"Yeah, she says she is my mother, but I don't have one. She is only the woman who gave birth to me. Not my mother." Sharpay said. She lay back down, and Zeke came to her side, and sat on the edge of the couch.

"What are you going to do?" he asked.

"I don't know. I know that she isn't going to move back in here." Sharpay said. Troy came over to the back of the couch, and kissed his daughter on the head.

"Well, I have to go. My dad is going to want to talk about things." He said, laying Kimi on Sharpay's stomach.

"Okay, well, tomorrow after school, if you want to take her out somewhere, I can go with you." He smiled, and kissed Sharpay's forehead. Zeke looked jealous. After Troy left, Zeke spoke.

"Does he have to spend so much time with you?" He asked.

"Yes Zeke, he does." Sharpay said, covering her eyes with her hands. She was getting annoyed at ignorant people.

"Why?" Zeke asked. Sharpay uncovered her eyes and looked at him.

"Troy is the father of my child. He is going to be in my life until the day either him or I die. If you don't like it, you can leave right now. I am not going to choose you over Kimi knowing her real father." She snapped. He leaned back.

"Okay, I was just asking." He said.

"Well, I need some help with the last of my boxes out of my room, will you help me?" Chelsea asked Ryan and Kelsi. They nodded, and grabbed the last three boxes in the room. They put it into the car.

"I'll finish cooking dinner." Kelsi said, walking back into the kitchen, followed by Chelsea and Ryan. The three of them set the dining room table, and served dinner. Sharpay had apologized for snapping at Zeke, and they ate dinner.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The next day at school, Sharpay brought Kimi into school, and dropped her off at the daycare. Everyone was stunned that Sharpay had a baby by Troy Bolton. His father was angry with Troy, because Coach Bolton thought himself too young for being a grandfather. Mrs. Bolton was thrilled, although she didn't exactly like the circumstances of everything.

After school, Troy, Sharpay and Gabriella went to the park and sat under a tree for a while, watching Kimi lay in the grass, as that was the only thing she could do. After they were at the park for a bit, Sharpay decided that she and Kimi needed to get home. Shari was at the house when she arrived.

"Hey Sharpay." She said, standing up. Sharpay put Kimi beneath her toy, and turned to her mother.

"Hello Shari." She said.

"Call me mother." She asked.

"No, I reserve the name 'Mother' for people who actually act like a mother. Not you." Sharpay said.

"I am sorry I wasn't there for you."

"Yeah, I am sure of that."

"I feel rotten that I wasn't here for when you and Ryan needed me the most. So I want to be here now. You need me." She said.

"No, I don't need you. Ryan and I have never needed you. We've been taking care of everything for a whole year now. We are set just fine. I have a job, and Ryan's job starts back up in a couple weeks. Dad left us a good amount of money, and we are doing fine."

"Okay, well, can I borrow some money then, I need to finish paying some stuff off, I'm kind of in a bad way." Sharpay began to feel bad for her mother.

"I guess. But you have to come back here with a receipt after you pay it off." Sharpay said. Shari agreed, so Sharpay took her into the study, and wrote a check to her mother.

"How much do you need?" Sharpay asked.

"About a thousand dollars. I promise to pay you back. I get paid in one week, I will come back with the receipt tomorrow." She said. Sharpay nodded, and sent Shari on her way. After Sharpay closed the door, Shari grabbed the spare key hidden in a small key box, hidden under the porch stairs.

"What did she want?" Ryan asked.

"I don't know, she asked for some money so that she could pay off some bills, and she said she would pay us back in a week." Ryan nodded. The two of them went through their nightly routine, and went to bed.

As Sharpay and Ryan slept, Shari unlocked the door, and let herself in. She turned off the alarm, and sneaked up he stairs. She looked into each of the open rooms. She found Kimi's room. She tiptoed inside, and turned off the baby monitors. She picked up the diaper bag, and Kimi quietly. She tip toed back downstairs, and took the car seat with her. Sharpay and Ryan slept soundly, not knowing the little girl was missing.
