Sharpay unlocked the door of the apartment late that night. She decided to stay at the hospital and play with Lilly, without telling Martin. The nurses were really surprised that she actually hung around and got to know the little girl because she was a celebrity and it wasn't like many did.

She walked in to see Gabriella asleep on the couch, holding one of the pillows, curled up in her pajamas already. Sharpay smiled at the sight as she closed the door behind her accidentally waking the brunette up. Gabriella looked up at the blonde and got up quickly, running towards her.

"I'm sorry," she told her continuously, kissing her as Sharpay held Gabriella's small waist. She finally pulled away enough to actually allow her to talk.

"It's okay; I just want you to talk to me. I love you and I don't like you shutting me out," Sharpay explained.

"I know and I'm sorry that I didn't think you could be upset about the test being negative," she replied as Sharpay held her close "I just want us to go back to the way we were," she whispered as Sharpay agreed.

"I do too," Gabriella looked up at Sharpay, deep into her eyes and kissed her lightly.

"I promise will get back to that and I want to try again," she told her, making Sharpay smile widely and agree. After talking a few more minutes about the whole baby situation, Sharpay decided to sit down on the couch with Gabriella and tell her about her visit to the hospital.

"I went into the children's wing where they do the cancer treatment and help with the injured kids. The first part they took me to was the cancer patients and I thought I was going to cry, but it really wasn't that bad. The kids loved me and my music, but there was one little girl who stole my heart," Sharpay explained as Gabriella listened very intently.

"Her name is Lilly; she's six years old and a…orphan. Her parents dropped her off at the hospital after they found out she was ill and never came back, but she is the sweetest little girl you will ever meet. She loves to sing and draw; she is really something," Sharpay told her fiancé with such power and love in her voice.

"So is that why you're so late?" Gabriella asked curiously; she nodded. "I want to meet her," she whispered.

"I'm going back tomorrow. You can come with me since it's the weekend and we have nothing to do," Sharpay told her as she agreed.

"Um…Mark called while you were out about the Chad case. He got a court date two months from now. With the season coming to a close, they'll have a better chance at settling it without all the distractions of Playoffs and such," Gabriella explained as Sharpay nodded.

"Okay and Chad knows?" Gabriella nodded. "Okay, well I'm tired, so let's get to bed," Sharpay stated, getting up from the couch. She looked down at the brunette and held her hand out as she took it, both walking into their bedroom to get some sleep for tomorrow's visit.

The next day, Sharpay and Gabriella walked out of their building and were met by a bunch of flashes and cameras in their face.

"SHARPAY! SHARPAY!"

"OVER HERE!"

"WHO'S THIS YOUR WITH?"

"HOW ARE YOU FEELING ABOUT YOUR BROTHER'S RELATIONSHIP?"

"ARE YOU GAY TOO?"

All of them yelled from different directions as she grabbed a hold of Gabriella's hand to get through the crowd and to her car. She squeezed through them, unlocking the passenger door for Gabriella, not wanting to leave her out there any longer then ran around the front to open her door and got in; speeding off to the hospital.

"That is madness," Sharpay commented in a flustered tone.

"Yeah, but they are getting really nosey because of Chad's case, not just because they have nothing better to do," Gabriella responded.

"Yeah, but they really don't have anything better to do. It's stalking and I'm absolutely certain that it'll annoy the shit out of me any day,"

"Me too," Gabriella agreed as Sharpay turned the corner. "Hey they did ask about me, didn't they?" she asked her.

"Yeah, but they also asked if I was gay like Ryan, which in some case I am as you know of course, why do you ask?" Sharpay asked glancing between Gabriella and the road.

Gabriella shrugged. "I don't know, I just thought that it might be a good idea to tell people that I'm your fiancé. It will come out soon enough about us. What are we gonna do, wait until we get married?"

"Not a bad idea," Gabriella turned and glared at her "No, I just didn't think you wanted me to tell anyone. I just didn't want to subject you to all of this, but if you want to tell people, then I will. I will scream from the top of the Hollywood sign if you want me to," Gabriella laughed.

"Well don't do that, just tell people in an interview with a magazine you trust. No need to scream from a sign; you might lose your voice," Gabriella commented as Sharpay just mocked laughed at her. They turned into the parking garage and parked on the 3rd level.

Sharpay grabbed Gabriella's hand immediately as they got out of the car, walking with her hand in hand to the elevator. Once it came, Gabriella pushed the blonde slightly against the wall of the elevator.

"What are you doing?" she asked the brunette, laughing slightly.

"Oh you know trying to have elevator sex with you before the doors open. You know how they do that in movies?" Gabriella joked, placing her hand on the blonde's crotch, massaging it causing the blonde to gasp slightly as the doors open. Gabriella walked out first, turning to look at the blonde, who was still on the wall in the elevator; seductively. "You coming?"

Sharpay nodded frantically, walking out of the elevator, grabbing the brunette's hand "I will keep that in mind for when we go home," she whispered into her ear, which was covered by her long hair, causing her to giggle.

Sharpay and Gabriella walked through the sliding automatic doors, hand in hand after containing themselves of laughter. They were pretty surprised that they were getting along better after one day. Yesterday they were fighting, today they were laughing, affectionate and genuinely happy. Sharpay knew that being able to see Lilly today is what made her happy, especially showing Gabriella how much she truly cared about the little girl; after one day of meeting and playing with her.

"Hi, I'm here to see Lilly," Sharpay said to the lady at the front desk as Gabriella stood there slightly behind her.

The lady looked up, surprised; so surprised that she had to do a double take to make sure she was seeing right. "Oh Miss. Evans, I didn't think you'd be back so soon; and you're here to see Lilly you say?" Sharpay nodded, giving her a big smile.

The woman stood up from her chair and walked around and out from behind the desk. She smiled at the blonde and instructed her to then follow her to Lilly's room. Sharpay held Gabriella's hand the whole way there, until they finally turned into a room that read number 589.

Gabriella was nervous to see this little girl; she really didn't know what to expect. She knew the little girl was special from what Sharpay said and that's all that matters. But she was more worried about what she looked like physically. She had nothing against people with cancer, but she just always felt bad for the children when she'd see those St. Jude Hospital commercials.

When Sharpay saw the little girl, she was facing the television, so she didn't see them come in. Sharpay ran up behind her and lifted her out of her little plastic yellow chair and hugged her close as the little girl giggled the whole time. Gabriella smiled at the way they were interacting and she really didn't want to interrupt.

"Sharpie, you came," Lilly said after the older blonde let her down.

"Of course I did. I promised, didn't I?" Sharpay replied as she leaned down on her knee; Lilly nodded with a big smile.

Gabriella was in aw when she saw Lilly though. She didn't expect her to look so healthy, but at the same time not be. She could tell she was sick; her skin was much paler then a normal healthy person's would be. But other then that, she was surprised that she had hair, even though that's a little stereotypical; she just expected it, like a lot of other people would too.

Gabriella noticed that Lilly was whispering into Sharpay's ear and Sharpay looked very interested in what the little girl was saying. "Really?" she responded to the secret; Lilly nodded frantically "Well thank you," she told her.

Sharpay got up from where she was leaning and picked her up in her arms, walking towards Gabriella. "Lilly this is Gabriella my fiancée; Gabriella this is my special little Lilly," Sharpay introduced.

Gabriella smiled at the little girl as did she back "Nice to meet you. Sharpay told me a lot about you," Gabriella said.

"Sharpie said a lot about you too. She's a talker," Gabriella laughed at her.

"Yes she is and Sharpie?"

"Yeah Sharpies are really pretty like Sharpie here," Lilly explained, pointing to Sharpay "I like the silver one,"

"Really? Well I think the pink ones pretty cool too," Sharpay said to her.

"Yeah, but it doesn't sparkle," Lilly replied, crossing her arms as Sharpay thought about that for a moment.

"Hmm, well it should. That'd pretty awesome. But you know what else is true about your little nickname?" Lilly shook her head, letting her little pig tales sway back and forth. "That when you write on yourself with a Sharpie marker; it'll stay on you practically forever, so like the marker, you have me forever," Lilly smiled and hugged her.

"Good because I want you forever," Lilly said still in the embrace as Sharpay smiled to Gabriella, who was pretty close to tears.

"I love you Lilly, you know that right?" Sharpay whispered as the little girl nodded, pulling away to look at Sharpay. She grabbed a hold of both sides of Sharpay's face with both of her hands and smiled at her.

"I love you too Sharpie and I—," she cut herself off and whispered into Sharpay's ear again, then pulled away and looked at her.

"Well why don't you tell her that? She'd like to hear that too," Sharpay whispered to Lilly, putting her down on the floor. Lilly walked towards Gabriella, who leaned down in front of her.

"I love you Gabriella," Gabriella smiled at her and opened her arms, not really sure what to do, but Lilly ran into them, pulling her little arms around her.

"I already love you too," she whispered to her.

After a little while, Sharpay and Gabriella place her into her bed to let her rest while they talked to her and hung out. Both Sharpay and Gabriella were laying on each side of her as she laid in between them and Gabriella couldn't help thinking, this is what they'd be doing when they have kids and she wanted this. She wanted a child like Lilly, she's adorable, sweet, loves everyone and it was terrible that her parents would leave her here and never come back. Sharpay brought life back into this little girl, but Sharpay could bring life back into any situation, no matter what it is.

"So did you get sick at all today?" Sharpay asked her; Lilly nodded sadly.

"I don't like it. I just want to it to stop," Sharpay stroked the top of Lilly's head, pulling her into her body, kissing the top of her head.

"It's okay; it'll be over before you know it," Sharpay whispered to her, kissing her head again.

"Gabriella, can I ask you a question?" Lilly asked, causing Gabriella to give her, her full attention. "Do you have any kids with Sharpie?"

Gabriella looked down sadly and shook her head slowly "No; we're trying to though," she replied to the little girl.

"Well I think you guys will have a little girl and you will name her Lilly," they both laughed at her response, even though it was a sad subject to talk about right now, especially after the night before.

The visit came to an end at the hospital. Sharpay read her a story, then let her get some sleep. Now, Gabriella and her just arrived at their apartment. Sharpay unlocked the door, then closed it as Gabriella began walking towards the room, Sharpay pulled her back towards her by the arm, holding her waist, then gave her a passionate kiss.

"I told you that I would remember about the elevator incident," Sharpay whispered seductively into the brunette's mouth.

"Well then why are you still talking?" Gabriella replied, kissing her lightly, running her hand down Sharpay's body, to her jeans, to her crotch again causing the blonde to gasp again as Gabriella smiled.

She got out of the blonde's grasp and walked slowly towards their bedroom, slipping her shirt off and throwing it behind her at Sharpay, unclasped her bra in the front and throwing that then made her way completely into the bedroom. Sharpay stood there, trying to compose herself until she went into a full sprint to the bedroom to see Gabriella laying on the bed, topless and in her panties; her jeans laid on the floor.

Sharpay ran and hopped up on the bed, hovering over the brunette, kissing her deeply on the lips as her hands roamed her body. Gabriella found the hem of Sharpay's shirt, slipping it off quickly and began to work her magic on the blonde's jeans, slipping them half way off. She began getting flustered as she flipped the blonde over, lowering herself down so she could fully slip them off the blonde's figure.

She pulled herself back up to the blonde's lips, running her hands over Sharpay's still somewhat covered chest. She desperately wanted to feel her breasts bare, so she placed herself on Sharpay's lap, as Sharpay held her behind her back still kissing her hungrily, allowing her to unclasp her bra from behind. It slipped off her shoulders gracefully as Gabriella threw it away with the rest of their removed clothes. She ran her hands over them, squeezing them allowing a moan to escape the blonde; running her fingers over the erected nipples.

Sharpay placed her hands at Gabriella's panty line, positioned one of her hands inside the fabric, running her hand over her entrance, causing Gabriella to groan into the blonde's mouth. Gabriella pulled away from the blonde, kissing down her neck, lowering herself to the blonde's perfectly sculpted breasts. She took one in her mouth, flicking her tongue over the nipple, sucking on it hard, and slightly nipping it just enough to set Sharpay over the edge. Sharpay grasped the sheets, wanting; begging for more as Gabriella continued her assault on her breasts.

Sharpay flipped them over, quickly kissing her forcefully on the lips, then down her body, until she reached Gabriella's belly button. She made light butterfly kisses on and around her belly button, causing the brunette to groan and moan. Sharpay smiled slightly, lowering herself to the hem of Gabriella's panties, slipping them off her figure, then throwing them off to the side. She made little circle movements with her fingers around her lips, causing Gabriella to let out an intense groan.

"Shar," she whined, causing Sharpay to lean down and kiss the sensitive area, before plunging her tongue deep into the brunette, causing a gasp of pleasure to run through Gabriella's entire body. Sharpay thrusted her tongue in and out of the brunette as she held both sides of Gabriella's thighs, rubbing them now and then to give her more pleasure.

Gabriella continued to moan Sharpay's name, louder and louder until she felt the serge of gratification run throughout her entire body, allowing her juices to spill into Sharpay's mouth. Sharpay worked her tongue around inside Gabriella, cleaning up as much as possible. She moved up to Gabriella's face and kissed her deeply on the lips, allowing her to taste the bitter sweetness.

Being the way Gabriella was; she was full of surprises. Gabriella flipped Sharpay over unexpectedly, moving all the way down to the blonde's underwear slipping them off no problem, then plunged her two fingers deep into her center. Sharpay began moaning right away, moving her hips with each of Gabriella's thrusts.

"Gabs, Gabs, oh my God," she moaned as her eyes closed to savor the moment. Gabriella picked up the speed, now thrusting faster and harder until Sharpay couldn't take it any longer. The blonde let out a loud moan, coating Gabriella's fingers with her juices. Gabriella lowered herself down to her center, licking up all the juices inside the blonde then made her way up to the blonde who was waiting for a taste, kissed her passionately, then laid down next to her.

"I love you Sharpie," she whispered looking up at the blonde, giggling at Sharpay's smile.

"I love you too," she told her with so much love in her eyes, making Gabriella smile wider before kissing her with so much passion again.

"Hey what did Lilly whisper to you the first time?" Gabriella asked curiously, causing Sharpay to smile down at her.

"She said that you were very pretty and that I 'know how to pick them'," Sharpay laughed causing Gabriella to giggle. Lilly was a smart little six year old and she was truly a character. They looked forward to more visits with the little girl. After a few more minutes of talking and fooling around, they both drifted off into a deep sleep, dreaming of things in their lives; their future and Lilly's future.


Okay, so another update. I'm on a roll, right? As you can tell the rating has been bumped up to M, due to the graphic material in this chapter and for future ones. Their not going to be regular scenes as you all know by now, but there will probably be like one or two more maybe. It seems only natural to not make them random, like I've said before.

Also, if you guys really do have predictions, don't hesitate to say them. I won't tell you if you're right or wrong because I just don't think that you guys would want that.lol But I will tell you that drama and drama will be BIG in the next two or three chapters. Some will be resolved; some will be upsetting that's all I'm telling you.

Anyway, please review and thank you all who have reviewed. I really thought a lot of you were gonna abandon me in the beginning, but I was wrong and I'm glad I was.lol Anyway again, please review and thank you so much for them previously.
