Thank you so much everyone!! I love the reviews a lot!
Ryan, Troy, Chad and Ella were sitting in the white waiting room at Albuquerque's Hospital. Ella was sitting on Ryan's lap, playing with the collar on his shirt, not really understanding what was going on. Troy and Chad sat there, head in their hands, wondering how Sharpay was doing along with Ryan. Ryan would occasionally plant a kiss on Ella's head and look up, seeing if the doctor was coming out.
"Uncle Ryan?" Ella asked quietly, looking up at Ryan. HE looked down at her and smiled. "Where's mama?"
Ryan closed his eyes and leaned his head on the wall behind his chair. He opened his eyes again and smiled softly at Ella. "She's not feeling good right now so the doctor is making sure she's ok." He spoke gently, stroking Ella's hair as he talked.
Ella nodded her head in understanding and sighed, leaning her head on Ryan's shoulder as she yawned. "Ok." She said through her yawn. She closed her eyes and eventually fell asleep. Ryan rubbed her back soothingly as he turned to look at Chad and Troy.
"You guys don't have to stay here. I know you don't want to be here." He whispered, trying not to wake the beautiful girl on his lap.
Troy and Chad shook their heads and grabbed the seats next to Ryan. "We'll stay with you until you find something out. We want to make sure she's ok." Troy smiled
"Even if we don't like her." Chad muttered, rolling his eyes. It didn't help that Troy had practically dragged him to the hospital, saying something about needing to be there for her. Chad just shook his head and begged not to go. Troy just dragged him along anyway.
Troy glared at Chad, who shook his head, and Troy turned back to Ryan. "We're staying Ryan." He simply said and ignored a groaning Chad.
Ryan rolled his eyes. "Just go Chad. You have a diner to run."
Chad looked at Ryan and smiled gratefully. "Thanks man. I owe you." He patted Ryan's shoulder before running out of the hospital. Troy rolled his eyes at his selfish friend before leaning back in his chair and sighing. He opened his eyes and turned to Ryan. "Go get something to eat Ryan. Maybe some coffee. I'll take Ella for you." Ryan debated with himself for a minute before carefully giving Ella to him and standing up.
"Do you want a coffee?" Ryan asked him as Troy shifted Ella on his lap. Ella stirred in her sleep and wrapped her arms around Troy's neck before falling back into a deep slumber.
Troy shook his head, rubbing Ella's back softly. "No thanks man. If the doctor comes, I'll tell him where you went." Troy smiled and waved Ryan, who chuckled, away. Troy looked down at Ella, well as best as he could since Ella's head was rested in the crook of his neck, and kissed it. He gently bounced her up and down, waiting patiently for the doctor.
"Family of Sharpay Evans?" A male doctor asked as he walked into the waiting room.
Troy got out of his chair and walked over to the doctor, Ella carefully sitting on his right hip. "That's me." He stuck out his hand that wasn't supporting Ella's back to shake the doctors' hand.
The doctor shook his hand but looked at Troy skeptically. "Are you really family? I can only give information on Sharpay Evans to family."
Troy shook his head. "I'm not really family but her brother is in the cafeteria." He pointed in the direction of the cafeteria.
"Well, When Mr. Evans arrives then I can give out the information if he allows me to to you. Until then, I'm sorry." The doctor smiled at him sympathetically before turning around and walking down the hallway to his office.
Troy jogged to catch up to him and put a hand on the doctors' shoulder. "Can you at least tell me if she's ok?" Troy asked pleadingly. Troy lifted Ella up a little bit on his hip so she wouldn't slip out of his grasp.
The doctor looked at his clipboard before glancing back up at Troy. "Yes. She'll be just fine. Tell Mr. Evans I'll be in my office when he gets back." The doctor smiled one last time before walking to his office. Troy sighed and turned back around, walking back to the waiting room.
Just as he took a seat in a chair, Ella slowly started to wake up. She lifted her head off of Troy's shoulder and looked up at the person holding her. She took her tiny fist and wiped the sleep out of her eyes as she yawned. She smiled slightly up at Troy, who returned the smile. "Hello princess." Troy said softly, lightly brushing a few stray hairs out of her face. Ella giggled at the nickname and rested her head again on Troy's shoulder, still a little tired from her nap. "Did you have a nice nap?" He rocked her from side to side gently, placing a kiss on the top of her head.
Ella nodded her head as she stuck her thumb in her mouth. She grabbed Troys' hand and started to play with his fingers with her free hand. Troy smiled at her and held her tighter, not wanting to let her go. "Troy, did the doctor come out yet?" Ryan asked, walking towards the two with a coffee cup in his hand.
Troy nodded his head and stood up, again settling Ella on his hip. "Yes. He came out about a minute or two ago. I'm not family so he couldn't give me any information." He and Ryan started walking down the hallway towards the doctors' office. "He said to just go to his office and he can give you the information on her." They made it to the office and Ryan knocked lightly on the door. Once they heard a 'come in', Ryan opened the door and the three of them walked into the room, well Troy and Ryan walked into the room, Ella in Troy's arms still.
The doctor, Dr. Morgan, stood up and shook Ryan's awaiting hand. "Mr. Evans I presume?" he asked.
Ryan nodded his head. "Yes. How's Sharpay?" he asked, cutting right to the chase.
Dr. Morgan walked around his desk and walked out of the room, motioning for them to follow him. They started walking down the hallway towards Sharpay's room. "Sharpay is going to be just fine. She had a stress reaction. She was already a bit on the tired side and she became overwhelmed, probably from something that caused her a lot of stress." He explained just as they reached her room. "This is her room. I'd say that she should be able to leave tomorrow at the earliest." He smiled. "If you need anything just push the nurses' button and they'll page me." He smiled and walked away, towards his office they assumed.
Ryan was just about to walk in when Troy stopped him. "Is it ok if I go in? I mean, I don't exactly know is if Sharpay wants to see me." He shuffled nervously, shifting Ella onto his other hip.
Ryan smiled but rolled his eyes jokingly. "Of course you can come in. Just for a little while though." Troy nodded his head and they walked into her room. Sharpay smiled when she saw Ryan walk in but that soon faded once she saw Troy. "Hey Pay. How're feeling?" he asked, rushing over to the side of the bed, grabbing her hand.
Sharpay rolled her eyes and smiled at Ryan. "I'm fine Ry, I swear. I had a little time to rest so I feel much better." She nervously looked over at Troy and smiled slightly. "Hey Bolton." She muttered, watching as he walked over to the other side of her bed.
Troy smiled and sat down on the chair and set Ella down on his knees. He glanced at Sharpay and leaned down to Ella's ear. "Guess who's here princess?" he whispered into her ear. Ella looked up at Troy and giggled, poking his cheek with her pointer finger.
"I'm the princess and you're the king!" she giggled again and continued poking his cheek.
The three adults laughed at her cuteness. Troy grabbed her hand that was poking her and kissed the back of it. "Your mommy's awake Ella." He said softly and pointed over to Sharpay.
Ella gasped and looked at Troy with wide eyes. "I didn't even notice!" she giggled and reached her arms out towards Sharpay. Troy chuckled at her cute innocence and handed Sharpay her daughter.
Sharpay immediately hugged her daughter tightly and kissed her head a million times. "Oh my baby." She cooed, giggling as Ella started playing with her hair.
"I love you mama." She hugged her mother tightly, well as tight as her little arms would allow her to. Sharpay rested her head on Ella's head and closed her eyes. "I love you too Care Bear." Sharpay looked at Ryan and sighed. "When can I get out of here?" she asked disgustedly, looking around the boring, white hospital room.
Ryan chuckled, seeing the old Sharpay coming back. "The doctor said maybe tomorrow if everything checks out ok." He smiled and kissed the top of her hand.
Troy sat awkwardly on the side, watching the siblings interact. He clapped his hands together and stood up, gaining the attention of everyone. Ella thought it was a game and clapped her hands too, giggling. Troy smiled softly at Ella before talking. "Well, I'm glad you're ok Sharpay, I really am but I got to get back to the diner. Who knows how things are going with Chad there." He joked, earning a laugh from the two adults. "I'll see you later." He waved to them and leaned down to give Ella a kiss on the cheek. "Bye Princess." He winked at her and she laughed.
"Bye bye King Troy!"
