Chapter 20 Decisions

Ryan woke up the next morning next to Sharpay, who was still sound asleep. His mind replayed what she had told his yesterday. They had been snuggled up together but Ryan moved away a little as he thought. He then very slowly moved his hand down and placed it on Sharpay's growing stomach. At his touch, Sharpay's eyes flickered open and she looked down to where Ryan's hand was. Ryan quickly pulled away, not wanting to invade on her personal space [although he was already pretty close to her…. She frowned as Ryan did this and gently placed his hand back on her stomach. Ryan looked into her eyes and started to smile, she smiled back at him – both of them momentarily at peace with the world, they wished they could stay like this forever.

Sharpay leaned in and kissed Ryan ever so gently on the lips, parting them as she deepened their kiss. He let her warm tongue slip into his mouth, and as their tongues met, the two started to make out. Ryan was however, careful of Sharpay, as he didn't want to hurt the baby.

"Ryan…" Sharpay whispered as their make out session came to an end.

"Uhuh…?" he questioned.

"I…I think, I want to…keep it…" she said sitting up in her bad, Ryan following suit.

"Are you sure?" he asked, "Cos you know, babies are a lot of responsibility and the whole fact that its our baby…"

Sharpay nodded, "I know, I know…but I've had time to think…and I don't think I could face not keeping it…however difficult it makes our lives…"

Ryan nodded, he felt the same, he didn't want to get rid of his child, their child.

The two smiled happily at one another, finally they had figured out what they wanted to do.

"So do you think we should tell mom and dad?" Sharpay suddenly asked Ryan.

"I'm not sure…I mean they'd freak if they found out you were pregnant, and god knows what they'd do if they found out I was the father…" Ryan sighed.

Sharpay nodded in agreement, "Perhaps it's better if we don't say anything, at least not at the moment…I mean they are likely to find out later on...but who knows, cos they are hardly ever here anyway…"

"Yeah…lets keep it to ourselves for now…" Ryan concluded.
