Chapter 22 Problems
It was a wet day in the October holidays and Sharpay and Ryan [home alone as more or less always nowadays were sitting at the kitchen table eating breakfast. Halfway through her toast, Sharpay stopped eating. "C'mon Shar, eat up…you're eating for two now," Ryan smiled at her. She did not however return his smile, but instead got out of her chair, "Toilet…" she said putting her hand over her mouth as she ran to be sick. Ryan ran up the stairs after her, she had been being sick every so often over the last few weeks, like she was when she was first feeling ill at the beginning of her pregnancy. Ryan arrived in Sharpay's bathroom to see her knelt over the toilet as she threw up the entire contents of her stomach. He held her tightly and snuggled his head into her neck when she'd finished. The two sat on the bathroom floor, their bodies pressed against each other. Suddenly Sharpay looked down at her stomach, "What is it?" Ryan asked her worriedly.
"No, nothing Ryan…here…" she said placing his hand on her stomach. Ryan gasped as he felt the baby move inside of Sharpay, she beamed at him and intertwined her fingers with his other hand. They sat like this for a while, until they could no longer feel anything, "Wow…" Ryan gasped, "That was…amazing…" Sharpay nodded and then got up of the floor and cleaned her teeth to remove the taste of vomit from her mouth. As she stood by the sink and cleaned her teeth, Ryan put his arm around her waist and stomach and smiled at her as he gently kissed her neck. She finished brushing, then turned around to face him before ripping his top off of him. They both smiled and he took her top off and they made out together. They eventually moved out of the bathroom and onto Sharpay's bed before removing the rest of their clothes…
That evening the two were sat downstairs in front of the TV watching some programme when Sharpay grabbed the remote and switched it off. She turned to Ryan, "What are we going to do about school?" she asked him.
"Huh?" he asked, confusion in his voice.
"I mean, what happens when I get really big, and when I actually have the baby…how will I go to school?" she asked worriedly.
Ryan thought for a moment, "Well…it's our last year of school…and I guess we could tell them some excuse as to why you cant come in…we could have alternate days off to look after it…" he said rubbing his hand gently over her swollen stomach. She smiled and nodded, but then looked utterly horrified, "What is it Shar?" Ryan asked in a worried tone.
"I just thought…I am going to have to give birth…I'm scared about going into labour…it's supposed to be excruciatingly painful…" she said, looking scared at Ryan.
He hugged her tight, "Don't worry about it…I'm sure you'll be ready for it when it's time…" he said reassuringly.
