Thank you to all the reviewers. You make my heart happy :)

Ryan tried to get his head to understand the news he had just been told.

"Shar, Troy has been with Garbriella for about five months. So he's been cheating on her with you?" He couldn't hide his anger. He was mad at the things Sharpay would do for Troy. He hated Troy for being a selfish asshole.

"I know I'm a self-centered bitch, huh? I didn't care about Gabriella's feelings. The only thing that mattered to me was that Troy wanted to see me. You don't understand how deeply I have fallen for him. We haven't been together that much but it started three months ago." Sharpay rambled.

"So what? He told you he was gonna stop seeing you? Or what?" Ryan asked more confused than angry, trying to understand why she was crying in the girl's bathroom.

Sharpay stood crossing her arms "Oh Ryan just go. Leave me alone!"

Now on his feet he pulled her arm, not wanting to see the back of her head "Hey. Im not going so just talk to me."

Sharpay screamed in frustration and tried to leave the girl's bathroom. If Ryan had taken a moment to think he would have let her go, but he wasn't given the moment and he grabbed her.

"What is your problem!" Sharpay screeched.

"You cant do that Shar. You can't bring up the waterworks, make a scene, tell me that you've been seeing Troy behind Gabriella's back, and then expect me not to want to help you, ok? Dont pull the Drama Queen shit on me. Whatever it is just tell me."

Sharpay sighed. Her hands covered her face as she cried. "Im pregnaut Ryan."

Ryan's hand fell on the wall to support his weight from falling to the ground. He couldn't believe it. He knew it wasn't easy to find a student who was a virgin, but he never thought Sharpay was sexually active. She told him so much and yet she didn't because as far as he had been concerned his sister never had sex or shared a kiss with the golden boy.

He was overwhelmed with sadness. He was sad that he knew so little of his sister, when he thought he knew everything. He was sad that she had given herself to a punk like Troy. He was sad that now a baby was created. He was sad that the baby was relying on a seventeen year old girl who could barely breathe because of her weeping.

He was blown away by the truths that had been revealed to him. He knew that he would sleep that night and wake up to a new Ryan, a different Ryan from the one he had been the last seventeen years. He despised Sharpay for this, because she was to blame for wakening Ryan to this world.

Yet he couldn't hate her enough because as he wiped his tears he wanted to help this broken girl that was shattered before him. He wanted to kiss her and tell her that what she did didn't matter. He wanted to give her hope and comfort because he loved her.

"Im sorry Ryan" Sharpay whispered her hands on her stomach now.

"Me too." he said not really knowing how to share his thoughts with her.

"Why? Why didn''t you tell me Shar?" he asked refering to Sharpay and Troy's affair.

"I I knew you'd try to convince me to stop. I knew you'd disagree." she explained quietly.

"Damn right I would! Im sorry-I"

"No I-- your right. I knew what you'd say. I just wish I listened." she mumbled.

"We can't change all that, I guess. It wouldn't be the past if you could." he said.

Sharpay smiled. It had been a long time since she found his blonde moments funny instead of irritating. Beacause she smiled, Ryan's lips curved sheepishly.

He took her hands. "Let's think of the present...Have you told Troy?"

"No Im-Im scared." she admitted.

"Dont be. Youre not alone anymore." Ryan said matter of factly.

"If only I had known that I never was," Sharpay replied sweetly.

Ryan wrapped his arms around her. They held each other for a bit. The school bell rang initiating passing period.

They pulled apart. "Im gonna find him now before I lose my courage."

"And I got to get out of here before Im caught." he followed her out the restroom.

Taylor stared at Ryan with a cocked eyebrow. Ryan gave her a wave and continued to his locker.
