A/N: Hey, This chapter's going to be short, it's just a filler, thanks for the reviews!

Disclaimer: Yes, of course i do. If you didn't catch my sarcastic undertones, you must be stupid :)

... ... ... ... ... ...

"Um..." Taylor trailed off, not once looking at her mom's piercing eyes that showed so much despair, confusion.

"I'll ask a little louder, Taylor," Her mother replied, in a scarily calm voice, "Did you know Aleesha was pregnant?"

It was obvious her mother already knew the answer, she just wanted to hear it from Taylor's mouth. Why exactly, Taylor didn't know, and didn't really want to find out.

"Yes," She mumbled quietly, even though her mom heard everything.

"You knew," Her mom spat out, "You knew, for how long?"

Taylor closed her eyes, knowing what was coming next. "2 and a half weeks,"

"TAYLOR ANNABELLE MCKESSIE!" Her mom screamed, as Taylor shrunk back, "YOU KNEW FOR ALMOST 3 WEEKS, AND NEVER THOUGHT TO TELL ME?!"

"It wasn't my place too, mom," Taylor said, "Aleesha told me in secrecy,"

"Secrecy?" Her mom snorted, "I brought you up to be honest children. Scratch that, your father brought you up to be honest children. What do you think he'd say if he was still with us?"

Taylor fought back the tears at the mention of her late father. "I'm sorry, mom,"

Jordynn McKessie's face softened at the glazy appearance of her youngest daughter's eyes. "It's alright, Tay-Tay. Just realise how i feel right now," She said, as she pulled Taylor into a hug, kissing the top of her head.

Taylor nodded. "Yes mom, but Aleesha realises that too. She's gonna be a good mom, mom. Think about it,"

Her mom turned back to Aleesha, who was smiling through her tears at Taylor.

"Yes, i can see that," Jordynn composed herself, smiling slightly, and turned back to Taylor, "Tay, can you go upstairs? Me and Aleesha need to talk, m'kay?"

Taylor nodded, shot a supportive smile at her older sister, before leaving the living room and running up the stairs to her bedroom.

Once there, she pulled out her cell and dialled the all too familiar number. Chad would probably get pissed she was calling this late, but Taylor didn't care. She needed someone to talk too. She waited as she heard the ringing tone, and at the fourth ring, he picked up.

"Hello?" He sounded tired.

"Chad? It's me,"

"Baby, what's up? You seem a bit distant,"

Taylor smiled. Chad was so caring.

"Oh, nothing, apart from when i got in, i got the third-degree,"

"For what? Being late past your curfew? Well, tell your mom it was my fault, and I'll - ,"

Taylor giggled. "No honey, not that," She dropped her voice, "My mom knows about Aleesha,"

She heard Chad take a sharp intake of breath. "Whoa. And I'm guessing she blew up about it?"

"Uh-huh. Used the full name and everything,"

"Um, yeah baby, that's really bad," His voice dripped with sarcasm.

"Chad, she hasn't called me by my full name since my dad died, it's bad,"

Taylor heard silence on the other end. "Chad?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm sorry for calling this late. I know you're probably tired and all, but i really needed someone to talk too,"

"Naw, Tay, its cool, hearing your voice is enough for me,"

Taylor giggled again. "Same here. But, my mom just told me to come up here, and i got bored. I would've called one of the girls, but seeing as Gabriella and Shar are pissed out of their heads, and Kels is probably asleep, i thought i'd call you,"

"Oh, so i was last resort now, was i?" Chad said, feigning hurt.

Taylor rolled her eyes, even though Chad couldn't see her. "Oh, suck it up, Danforth. I just can't wait to see the others at school tomorrow with their hang-overs,"

"Ah, the Bolton hangover. Become quite a regular these days, hasn't it?" Chad joked.

"Hmmm. Now that the Montez ones coming into effect,"

"It would seem, baby, that we will be playing doctors and nurses tomorrow,"

"Oh, Chad, sex again?"

"Not in that way!" Chad laughed, "I meant the whole baby-sitting the invalid's thing!"

"Ooh, big words now, Chad. Invalid,"

"Shut up, Tay. Now, baby, not being rude, but I'm tired,"

Taylor yawned. "Me too. I'll see you tomorrow, yeah?"

"Yeah. Night. Love you,"

"Love you too," Taylor closed her phone and lay back on her bed.

No-one expected Taylor McKessie to be in this position. A month and a half ago, she hated Chad Danforth for what he had done to her. Now she was calling him up at 1.30 am in the morning to tell him she loved him?

No, scratch that. She began being crazy about him?

Yes. No-one expected nerdy Taylor to lose her virginity to lunkhead basketballer Chad, let alone date him. But, weirder things had happened.

Her dad died aged 37, for one. Gabriella Montez coming to East High. Wildcats captain Troy Bolton auditioning for a musical. Them all becoming friends. Sharpay Evans becoming nice, and finally succumbing to Zeke's constant flirting. Aleesha, her responsible sister, who she looked up to, becoming pregnant at 19, considering abortion.

Taylor losing her virginity to Chad.

Yep, crazier things have happened, Taylor thought, before drifting off into a deep sleep, a huge smile playing on her face.
