A/N: Hey everyone. Thanks for all the ideas and reviews. The proposal won't be in this chapter but the next one I think. I'm trying to bring this story to a finish soon. There may be a sequel after this to finish the series of these stories off but if I do it won't be till the end of June at least when I start because I have my GCSE's starting for May till the last week of June so I won't really have time because I really need to study. Anyway there is still a few more chapters before I get to the end so please R&R!

Chapter 46
"ZEKE BAYLOR!" Zeke was sitting in his backyard planning when he heard Ryan Evans shout.
"Back here Rye." Zeke called as Ryan came round the back looking mad.
"Zeke Baylor you have lost it!" Ryan exclaimed as Zeke looked at him confused.
"Ok why?" Zeke asked as Ryan smiled.
"You want to marry Sharpay?!" Zeke smiled. "Why on earth would you want to marry Sharpay and get stuck with her for the rest of you life?" Ryan asked sitting down.
"Because I love her. And why is that such a bad thing getting to spend the rest of my life with her?" Zeke asked Ryan who shook his head.
"Because this is Sharpay we are talking about. You know the one who controls your relationship, the one who wants everything to be perfect just like…" Zeke cut him off.
"Just like Annabelle." Ryan looked at him confused.
"What are you bringing Belle into this for?" Ryan asked as Zeke smirked at him.
"Don't play dumb Ryan I know that you still love her and you would do anything to get her back." Ryan shook his head.
"No I don't." Ryan hesitated.
"Yes you do." Zeke stated as an idea came to him. "Ryan I have a plan." Zeke explained everything to Ryan who looked at him unsurely after.
"Are you sure we could get Troy and Gabi to agree to that?" Zeke nodded.
"Of course we can. Trust me according to Chad, Gabi had a breakdown the other morning and she could do with a break for a few hours I think." Zeke reassured him.
"Fine but if this screws up both our relationships I'm blaming you." Zeke shrugged as the two guys started planning.
With Sharpay and Annabelle
"Come on tell me. I know you still have feelings for my stupid brother." Sharpay said urging Annabelle to spill.
"No I don't. And anyway even if I did we agreed to be friends because it was easier that way." Sharpay looked at Annabelle sympathetically.
"I'm sure Ryan will see sense soon and realize that he needs you too." Annabelle weekly smiled. "I know something we can do to cheer you up." Annabelle shook her head.
"Sharpay I don't think even shopping will help me with this." Sharpay grinned.
"Who said I was talking about going on a shopping spree?" Annabelle shrugged. "I was thinking that we could go kidnap my 3 favourite people." Annabelle looked at Sharpay as if she was mad.
"Sharpay we can't kidnap anyone." Sharpay laughed.
"I didn't mean like that I meant that we could go get Mike (Michael), Chris and Lexi from their parents and we could take them out." Sharpay told her.
"You really can't stand not to go a few days without seeing them can you?" Sharpay shook her head. "I think that you will be the next to get pregnant and I think you will one day be an amazing mom." Sharpay blushed slightly.
"I don't think before Kelsi and Gabi got pregnant I ever wanted kids but when I saw them go through it and no matter how rough it was they always enjoyed it and then having the babies made me realize that maybe I do." Sharpay explained.
"Come on then I guess we could." Sharpay hugged Annabelle before they left.
With Chad and Taylor
The two were round the Bolton's helping out Gabriella who stilled seemed a bit quiet after her breakdown but was ok.
"Hey Chad do you think that we will ever have a family?" Taylor asked as she played with Alexia.
"Of course one day but I think we should wait till after college and after we get married." Chad told her as she nodded.
"Definitely. I don't think I could cope with a baby with classes and working. I have no idea how Gabi and Kelsi are going to cope either. I want to have my career first before we settle down." Taylor explained to Chad who was holding Alexia.
"She's amazing isn't she?" Chad asked as he carefully stroked Alexia face.
"She is perfect. You know I think these last few weeks seeing you with Troy and Gabi and the twins I think I have fallen in love with you more if that's possible." Taylor told Chad and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Well I fall even more in love with you every time I see you." Chad smiled as did Taylor as they kissed.
"Hey no making out in front of my daughter." Troy joked as he took Alexia from Chad. "She is way too young to see that and won't be doing that for a good 30 years." Taylor laughed as Chad nodded in agreement.
"Hey can you say she can't have a boyfriend till she's 30? You and Gabi got together at 15 like the rest of us." Taylor pointed out as Chad shook his head.
"She won't be dating till she's 30 because all of her uncles will make sure she doesn't and any guy who comes near or even looks at her like that apart from ones already approved by us will all get a good beating if they do." Chad told her as Gabriella entered the room with Chris.
"What are you lot arguing about?" she asked as she sat down next to Taylor on the couch.
"Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum over there reckon Lexi can't date till she's 30 otherwise the guy will get a beating from all her uncles and her daddy." Gabriella smiled.
"She can date at 16 and that's final." She gave Troy and Chad a warning look that they knew not to argue against.
"Wow how did you do that? No come back from either of them." Taylor laughed as Gabriella looked down at the sleeping boy in her arms.
"You have to take charge." Gabriella stated as she looked down avoiding the others as the phone rang.
"I'll get it." Troy said walking into the kitchen with Alexia and Chad following.
"You ok Gabs?" Taylor asked as the boys left. Gabriella softly kissed Chris' forehead.
"Yeah I am. I promise. Still trying to just get used to being a mom." Taylor smiled as they heard Chad let out a 'what?!' followed by a baby cry.
"What do you think that is about?" Taylor asked as Gabriella shook her head.
"I'm not sure I want to know." Taylor and Gabriella laughed as Troy and Chad came back.
"What was that?" Taylor asked the two who smiled. Troy was rocking Alexia slowly still trying to calm her down after Chad's outburst.
"Soon Sharpay and Annabelle will be…" Troy was cut off.
"Sharpay and Annabelle will be what?" Troy looked towards the front door to see Sharpay and Annabelle standing there.
"Will be here." Troy answered lamely.
"Oh ok. Erm anyway I was wondering if I could kidnap your twins?" Troy raised his eyebrows at her. "Why do people think I mean quite literally kidnap? I mean can I take them out for the day?" Taylor shook her head at Sharpay's eagerness.
"Gabi what do you think? Do we trust Sharpay?" Troy asked as Sharpay slapped him on the arm.
"Troy stop messing around. Sharpay you can take them out for 2 hours that's it." Gabriella compromised as Sharpay nodded.
"Thank you. We are going to see if we can take mike as well from Kelsi." Taylor and Gabriella rolled their eyes. They prepared everything for Sharpay and Annabelle who left with the twins after telling the couple what they were doing.
"So what were you going to say before Sharpay interrupted before?" Taylor asked Chad and Troy.
"Zeke and Ryan are borrowing the twins next week." Gabriella looked at Troy. "Don't worry they will be fine and it will only be for a few hours because it has something to do with them wanting to propose to those two." Taylor and Gabriella grinned at each.
"We have so got to find out if we can watch." Taylor stated as Gabriella agreed.
With Jason and Kelsi
The two were inside playing with Michael who was now 6 weeks old.
"You know I can't believe it still that we are married and have a child." Jason said as Kelsi nodded in agreement.
"Some people probably think we're crazy but I like the way my life is and I wouldn't change it for anything." Jason smiled.
"Me neither." Jason took Michael from Kelsi. "You do know our son is going to be a real heartbreaker." Kelsi laughed.
"Well I wonder where he gets that from because it's certainly not from his daddy." Kelsi joked quickly standing up.
"Hey! Take that back right now Mrs Cross." Kelsi stuck her tongue out and ran outside. "What are we going to do with mommy ay?" Michael was just looking at Jason while holding on to his finger. "Come on mate lets go find mommy." Jason stood up and went outside to find Kelsi. "Oh no we have to hide." Jason said as he saw Sharpay with Chris and Alexia already.
"Jason Cross don't even think about hiding." Annabelle shouted as Jason rolled his eyes.
"We weren't hiding we were just going to do something." Sharpay looked at him. "Fine we were. What are you two doing here anyway?" He asked as he walked up behind Kelsi.
"Can we take Michael out for the day?" Jason looked at Kelsi who smiled.
"Jason?" Jason refused to look at her because he knew he would give in. he didn't really want his son out with Sharpay and Annabelle. "Jason?" he eventually looked at her and sighed.
"Fine but if you do anything to him I will kill you both personally." Sharpay and Annabelle smiled.
"Don't worry you can if we do anything." Jason nodded as he got Michaels things ready. He handed him over to Annabelle as they left.
"I love you and thank you for not complaining." Kelsi said as she hugged him.
"Well I only did it because we needed a break from everyone and Sharpay would have stayed here otherwise." Kelsi laughed as they walked back inside to have a lazy day to themselves.
