Chapter 2

Having decided to go home Sharpay had started the moving process she'd manage to sell her apartment pack up her stuff, explain to Lily they were moving to Albuquerque which didn't mean much to the 3 year old at the time. Sharpay had even phoned her brother and parents to let them know she was coming home. There was no going back now the plane tickets were booked everything was done all that was left now was for Sharpay and her daughter to get on that plane. That day finally arrived Lily was excited about going to Albuquerque the young girl had never been on a plane before and to Sharpay's surprise her daughter was optimistic about moving as well.

The day seemed to of past very quickly the flight didn't take long from New York to Albuquerque. Sharpay had gotten off the plane and was at the baggage claim she kept her daughter close to her as she looked out for the suitcases that belong to her they shouldn't of been hard to miss they were brightly coloured after all. Lily had her head rested on Sharpay's shoulders the toddler was tired but was still awake she'd noticed a purple suitcase and pointed "Mommy, look." Sharpay caught onto what her daughter was pointing at and placed the little girl on her feet she grabbed her luggage and put it onto the airport trolley and then headed outside to look for her parents who said they'd pick her up from the airport once she arrived.

"Me no see them." Lily spoke as she looked around for her Granddad and Grandma.

Sharpay also had her eyes peeled for her parents when she suddenly spotted them waving she pushed her trolley over to them as Lily ran into her Grandma's arms "Nanny." The toddler beamed she didn't seem so tired now and Kate picked her grandchild up happy to see her.

"It's good to have you back." Vance told Sharpay as he kissed the top of her head Sharpay nodded it felt good to be back at least for now it did.

"We've missed you and this little one." Kate told her daughter as she tickled Lily. Sharpay smiled at the two Lily adored her grandparents maybe this move wasn't going to be so bad after all.

The ride back to her parent's house didn't take long Lily had fallen asleep in the car it was late and the little girl must have been absolutely shattered from the day of travelling. Once the car pulled up in the driveway Sharpay unstrapped her little girl and carried her inside. Her parents had set up her old room she was going to be living with them until she got herself settled with a job and an apartment. She opened the door to her old bedroom and looked around it was just as she left it a few years ago. Sharpay layed her sleeping child down on the bed where she quickly fell asleep herself.

The bright lights of the sun shone through the window Sharpay's eyes opened taking in the glistening sunshine that entered the room making it light up. She sat up on the bed and looked around taking in the view. Lily mumbled some stuff and opened her eyes Sharpay looked down at the blonde 3 year old the little girls blue eyes glistened and she giggled "Morning." Sharpay smiled she couldn't help but think of Troy everytime she looked into her daughters eyes it was was one of the things the child had gotten from her father.

"Okay munchkin we have a lot to do today." Sharpay explained to her daughter as she got off the bed

"Like?" Lily asked confused the only thing the 3 year old had on her mind was TV and toys.

"Well I gotta find a job, an apartment and look at preschools for you." Sharpay told Lily the little girl stood up on the bed and pouted Sharpay laughed she knew exactly why the child was pouting "You have to go preschool baby its important." Lily took the pout off her face she knew she couldn't argue with her mother she always lost when it came to the topic of preschool even though the 3 year old was demanding she knew when she wasn't going to get her way.

Sharpay heard voices coming from downstairs the rest of the household must have been awake. She took her daughter in her arms and walked downstairs the voices getting louder with each step she took. "I hear Nanny." Lily giggled Sharpay smiled and kissed her daughter's head before placing the child on her feet she walked into the kitchen and was surprised to see her twin brother Ryan and his fiancée Gabriella.

"Shar!" Ryan exclaimed he grabbed hold of his little sister she was the younger twin by one minute he wrapped his arms around her in a warm embrace. He certainly had missed having his sister around. Ryan removed his hold on her and Gabriella approached the blonde smiling "it's good to have you back." she told Sharpay. Ever since Ryan and Gabriella had gotten together Sharpay and Gabby had become close friends.

Ryan and Gabriella then caught sight of Lily who was looking around taking everything in "Hey Cutie." Ryan smiled at his niece and the little girl shot him one back.

"She really does look like you." Gabriella commented as she looked at the child who was the spit of her mother.

"and she's a mommy's girl." Kate spoke bringing herself into the conversation she handed Sharpay a coffee "Are you job hunting today?"

Sharpay nodded as she took a sip from her coffee "the sooner I find a job the better."

"well I'll look after Lily today while you hunt." Kate smiled she was dying to spend some quality time with her granddaughter.

The day progressed quickly and lunchtime soon arrived Sharpay had no luck in her search so far and was now sat in a restaurant with Gabriella the brunette tagged along to her friend find something. The two had eaten and were now discussing possibilities

"I'm sure you'll find something." Gabriella spoke trying to put some light on the situation.

Sharpay nodded sighing "Hopefully I will."

"Whatever happened to opening your own clothing range?" Gabriella questioned she knew Sharpay had always wanted to run her own fashion business and sell clothes or possibly open a clothes shop selling other designs as well as her own.

"Having a 3 year old is what happened." Sharpay spoke she didn't think she be able to run business and cater for her daughter's needs at the same time.

"well Lily is older now and in preschool and there's lots of babysitters for you such as your parents. Ryan, Me and maybe Troy." Her voice trailed off for a second and she quickly went back to talking about fashion "I reckon you'd be able to do it open your own clothes shop maybe." Gabriella told her friend in all honesty.

Sharpay had heard her friend mention Troy's name "First! I don't want to think about Troy he's not important right now and two I'd have to find an empty building."

"well we can look for a building." Gabriella spoke she didn't bother mentioning Troy she could see Sharpay wasn't ready to talk about him yet

"Maybe." was all Sharpay said she did like the idea she liked it a lot but it was just the matter of getting it all done and set up.

The two payed their bill and left the restaurant "well I think you should do." Gabriella told Sharpay and the blonde laughed "I've caught onto that one there Gabs." the two were so engaged in conversation they hadn't realised they bumped into a man whilst walking along.

"Oh sorry." they both spoke in unison realising they had bumped into someone.

"It's ok." The masculine voice spoke up and it was a voice Sharpay knew all too well she turned and looked up to see if the voice was who she thought it was.

"Troy." She mumbled as she looked into his blue eyes her heart melting all over again she'd been home for a day and here she was bumping into the man she was in love with the man who had also fathered her child.

"Shar." Troy muttered in utter shock he never expected to run into his ex like this he didn't even know she was back in town.
