Baby S
Chapter Eleven
Lucas came downstairs the next morning humming and walking into the kitchen to fix himself a bowl of cereal however he heard the television on in the living room. Sighing he realized that Troy and his mother had left the television on, taking a turn into the living room he froze at the sight of his mother sprawled over the chest of Troy. Clearing his throat he watched as his mother and Troy jumped apart and looked over at him. He smiled and placed his hands on his hips as he looked them over. "You two are just like teenagers." He stated sounding like his grandfather. Taylor smiled and looked at her son before saying.
"Well, how are you this morning." She yawned as she brushed her hands through her hair; Troy just rubbed his eyes and stretched.
"Morning." He mumbled as he looked at Lucas who was staring at him and his mother. Taylor sighed and sat up fully on the sofa so that Troy could do the same.
"I guess its good you stayed here since you're probably going to take us to the game." Troy and Taylor raised an eyebrow and shared a look before looking at Lucas who was grinning at their expressions.
"How'd you know I was going to take you and Taylor to the game?"
"Please…like you wouldn't take my mom and I to the game." He said walking out of the room; Troy looked over at Taylor and shrugged his shoulder with a smile on his face. "Smart kid." He stated as he stood up and walked pulled Taylor up as well. "Look I'm going to run home and get dressed and then I'll be back here before you know it." He stated calmly as he kissed Taylor on the cheek and then started towards the front door. "See ya later, Luc." Troy called out as he left. Taylor sighed as she locked the door and walked into the kitchen and saw her son eating a bowl of cereal.
"So how is Olivia doing?"
"Fine."
"That's good so are you ready for the game tonight." Lucas just nodded his head and looked at her for a moment. "Cause Troy was telling me how West Middle almost beat you guys earlier this season."
"Ma, that was before I came into town." He stated cockily as he looked up at her. "Now, we're going to blow them out." He exclaimed. "The game's going to be over before they even toss the ball up."
"Don't get to cocky."
"Okay ma, you're right." He agreed as he looked at the table. "I'm just ready to win and do nothing but win." He stated with a small smile, Taylor just smiled at him and walked over and rubbed her hand through his short hair.
"That's okay sweetie…and I know you're going to win." She said with a smile as she looked at him for a moment and then shook her head before going over to the cabinet and fixing herself something to eat as well.
"Thanks mom…oh and Olivia is going to be there and we're probably going to go out and celebrate on our own."
"Really…well since you're only twelve who's taking you." She asked glancing at him over her shoulder.
"Olivia said that her Uncle Zeke will."
"Okay just make sure you're home at a decent hour…you're too young to be coming home in the middle of the night." Lucas nodded his head for a moment and looked at Taylor and smiled.
"Yeah, mom like I would come into the house after or around midnight." He said with a chuckle. "Beside I'll do that when I can drive." After that was said he sat back down and started to eat his food again, Taylor sighed and sat down across from him and dug in as well.
Troy showed up later on that day to pick them both up, knocking on the door he smiled as Taylor opened up leaning forward he kissed and hugged her. "Hey baby you and Luc ready." He asked with a smile, she nodded her head as they both heard Lucas making his way towards the front door. Moments later Lucas appeared in the doorway lugging his gym bag.
"Hey, Troy." He said with a smile as he shook the older man's hand and stepped out the door. Troy reached out for his bag. "I got it."
"Luc, man let me take that for you alright." Troy countered back with a small smile at the young teenager. Lucas shrugged and nodded before handing Troy his bag. Once he had the gym bag, Troy waited to Taylor looked the door before leading Taylor and Lucas to his truck. Putting the bag in the backseat he helped Taylor into the truck while Lucas hopped in the back. Hurrying around the back, Troy got in and they were headed towards East Middle. Lucas had on his Ipod one of his many before game rituals as they rode down the streets headed towards his school. Troy watched him for a moment and then looked over at Taylor. "I was talking to Chad earlier, he thinks this game is going to be a good one."
"Lucas is so excited." She said smiling as she looked back at her son who had his eyes closed and his head resting against his headrest. "He's excited…Olivia coming to see him play so you know he's nervous."
"I hope he isn't like me cause Chad will kill him." He mumbled as he turned, Taylor giggled at the memory of Troy during his basketball games. She knew she made him nervous when she came to games, and when she was there he was always trying to show off. He did it so much that his father had asked her not to show up till after the first quarter.
"I hope he isn't like that…he should be a little better." Troy laughed and rolled his eyes as he pulled into the gym parking lot. Lucas popped his head up as the car came to a stop, grabbing his bag he quickly moved to the door.
"Alright mom I'll see you after the game." He kissed her cheek and then looked at Troy. "See ya." And with that said he hopped out of the car and walked quickly into the gym catching up with some of his teammates. Troy smiled and unbuckled his seatbelt glancing at the dashboard he sighed just as his cell phone went off.
"Who's that?"
"Chad…I'm sort of late." He mumbled, leaning over he tilted Taylor's chin up and kissed her. "When you go inside Gabby should be there by the entrance probably with Zeke, Sharpay and Olivia."
"I'll sit with them."
"Okay, come on baby let's go inside." He said as he got out of the car, walking around he opened her door helping her out. And together they walked into the gym. Once inside Troy went off towards the locker room, while Taylor saw Gabriella and Sharpay waving at her by the concession stand.
"Hey guys." She greeted as she gave them both a hug, Sharpay eyed her for a moment and then glanced at Troy who had just ducked into the locker.
"So you and Mister Bolton drove here together."
"Yeah so." Taylor asked playfully placing her hands on her hips, Sharpay smiled at her actions and just shook her head before she reached out and picked up her bottle of water.
"Nothing really…I just wanted to establish for future reference that you and Troy drove here together." Gabriella rolled her eyes and picked up the bag of candy that she had bought.
"Come on let's get back to Olivia and C.J. …I really don't feel comfortable leaving him all alone."
"Or with my niece…you know you have the demon baby don't you." Sharpay said bluntly, Gabriella narrowed her eyes at her blonde friend and pointed a finger at her.
"Don't you talk about my son?"
"I'm just saying what everyone who's been around C.J. thinks. I mean come on you have to admit it. He ran out into the middle of the gym floor during some of the games this year. Either to trip some of the players on the other team or moon their bench." Taylor choked down a laugh as the image of little C.J. doing anything like that. Gabriella redden and shook her head.
"My baby was just showing his creative side."
"Whatever, my baby isn't going to do that." Sharpay said patting her stomach. Gabriella and Taylor stopped for a moment and then squealed drawing stares from people nearby.
"Oh my goodness, Shar you're pregnant."
"Yep, it's about time me and my Zekey have been trying for a while now." She said beaming. Taylor smiled truly happy for her friend.
"Oh my goodness so what do you want a boy or a girl?"
"A girl of course so I can pass on my charm, wit and gorgeous looks." Sharpay said haughtily as she flipped her hair. Gabriella rolled her eyes and shook her head.
"It's your child, Shar it's going to be born like that regardless."
"You're right…C.J. got all of Chad's genes." Sharpay said laughing while Gabriella just smiled. They soon made it back to bleachers where Olivia was trying desperately to hold onto C.J. who was trying his best to wiggle out of her embrace. Gabriella quickly left Sharpay and Taylor behind and went over to them.
"C.J. mommy went and got your candy but you have to be good to get it." She countered with a stern look. The little curly headed boy stopped struggling immediately and looked at her for a moment. Before breaking out into a smile and quickly moving so that he was sitting beside Olivia who was looking at him in utter shock. She glanced back at Gabriella and offered her a smile.
"Thank you for showing up when you did, Mrs. Danforth." She exclaimed, as C.J. just sat on the bleachers swinging his legs and looking at the bag of candy in his mother's hand.
"I'll be good momma for the candy." Olivia giggled at the little boy's words and just shook her head for a moment in disbelief over how he was acting now that he knew he might get some candy. Sharpay and Taylor came up the bleachers at his time Sharpay was smirking at Gabriella who simply rolled her eyes at the other woman.
"See what did I tell you, he has all of Chad's genes the poor boy." She said laughing as she bent and kissed C.J. cheek. The little boy hugged her back and kissed her cheek as well. "But I love my little nephew regardless." She stated sitting down besides Olivia. Taylor moved and sat down with Gabriella who had chosen to sit behind C.J. A little over five minutes later the lights dimmed down and music started to play as the boys team ran out with Lucas in the lead. He glanced into the stands and smiled when he saw his mother and the he winked at Olivia and blew her kiss. Olivia blew him one back and giggled as he started the warm up drills.
"Aww that was so sweet reminds me of us back in the day." Sharpay exclaimed as she watched the exchange between Olivia and Lucas. Olivia blushed at her Aunt's words which made the older women laugh. However Taylor was currently looking at Troy who was looking back at her, he gave her a wink before turning back to Chad who had shaken his arm briefly so he could get his attention.
"Oh goodness let's not get that started again." Gabriella said as she shook Taylor's arm grinning. Tearing her glaze away from Troy, Taylor looked at Gabriella and Sharpay who were both looking at her knowingly. "He needs to focus on coaching this is a pretty good team, Tay. No distractions."
"Right." Taylor agreed as she looked out towards her son who was currently shooting a jumper and making it with ease. The she saw a rather tall African American male making his way over towards them. Glancing at Sharpay she nudged her and whispered. "That is Zeke isn't it?" she asked Sharpay looked at her in confusion for a moment before looking at the man coming their way, glancing back at Taylor she shook her head.
"No, Zeke is busy with the restaurants today." She mumbled noticing how nervous Taylor was she looked back at the man and then at Taylor. "What's wrong?" Taylor ducked her head as she felt the man's eyes boring into her as she sat there, and she couldn't help the sense of dread that flowed through her stomach as she looked at him.
"That's…" she trailed off as he made his way up the steps and moved into the aisle so he could sit next to her. All Taylor could think as he made his way towards her. Was why was he here now, what was he here for. He shrugged out of his jacket and then took off his hat. Flashing a dazzling smile at Sharpay and Gabriella he extended his hand and said in a deep voice.
"Hello ladies I'm Jason Scott, Taylor's ex-husband."
