Sharpay told Troy to sit down and make himself at home while she grabbed two cups of coffee. She handed him one and sat down on the couch next to him. "So what did you guys do today?" she asked, taking a sip of her coffee.
Troy smiled and set his held his cup in his lap. "We went to the park." He looked up at her. "You didn't tell me that she liked basketball!" he exclaimed.
Sharpay giggled. "Well she does. She definitely gets that from you." She said softly, starring down at her cup. After a few minutes of an awkward silence, Sharpay suddenly got up and ran to her room. "I'll be right back." Troy jumped at the outburst and watched her leave, confused.
She ran back into the room with a book in her hand. She sat down and opened the book to the first page. She made sure that Troy could see the page before speaking. "This here," she pointed to a picture in the book. "Was my first ultrasound picture of Ella. I think that I was 3 moths pregnant at the time." She explained. Troy smiled softly and ran his finger down the picture. Sharpay smiled a watery smile. "I have a picture from every time I had the ultrasound." She pointed to a picture on the other page. "This is Ella when she was born." It was a picture of Sharpay holding Ella in her hospital bed. Sharpay was looking down on Ella, looking at her with such love and adoration. Troy studied the picture before wiping a tear streaming down his cheek. Sharpay grabbed the box of Kleenex and handed it to him.
He thanked her and wiped his eyes. "Keep going." He encouraged, putting half of the album on his lap and half on hers.
She flipped a few pages and stopped, smiling softly. "This is my favorite. This was her first birthday. Ryan and I made a chocolate cake for her." Sharpay giggled lightly. "Let's just say more cake ended up on her than in her stomach." Troy laughed at the adorable picture. Ella's face was almost covered in chocolate. She was smiling brightly with Ryan behind her, chocolate all over his light green shirt. Ryan was leaning over and kissing her cheek.
Troy looked on the next page and saw a little bit of hair taped to the page. "What's that?" he whispered.
Sharpay smiled. "That's from her first haircut."
Troy laughed and touched it gently. "That's something you would do." He teased, looking up at her and smiling. Sharpay met Troy's eyes and they just starred into each others eyes. Troy cupped her cheek gently, watching as her eyes closed at the contact. She re-opened her eyes and smiled. Troy smiled back before dropping his hand and centered his focus on the album again. Sharpay frowned slightly before faking a smile and continued flipping through the book with him again.
They laughed and they cried, pointing to pictures together and Sharpay telling him the story behind it. Troy's favorite was the picture with Ella and Sharpay. They were laughing from afar and someone had surprised her with a picture. Sharpay was tickling Ella, who looked to be shrieking. It was simply beautiful.
"Mama?" Ella yawned, walking into the living room with her blankie dragging behind her. Troy and Sharpay looked up at her and smiled.
"Come on here sweetie." Sharpay said softly, patting the seat between the two after setting the album on the table.
Ella walked over to her and Troy picked her up and set her on the couch. She cuddled up to her daddy and let Sharpay gently lay her blanket over her. Ella stuck her thumb in her mouth and rested her head on Troy's shoulder. She fell asleep quickly in her daddy's arms. Sharpay smiled and gently stood up, telling him to stay still. She grabbed her camera and took a picture of the two. He smiled at her and kissed the top of Ella's head. He stood up and took Ella to her room again. He told her that he loved her and left the room, leaving the door a crack open.
When he returned to the living room, he saw Sharpay sitting in front of the TV and shuffling through the cabinet under it. She pulled out a box of videos and closed the cabinet, moving to the couch with the box. She set it by Troy's feet. "Those are a few videos of Ella. Her first steps, first word- which surprisingly enough was 'dada.' She giggled.
Troy gasped. "Seriously? I wasn't around though."
"I'm serious. Anyways, her first haircut is on one of them, her first birthday, first time she crawled, and even the first time she started potty training." The two laughed and Troy looked through the box. He read some of the labels, laughing. He looked back up at Sharpay and smiled gratefully. "Thank you. I intend to watch these tomorrow." He shifted nervously. "Maybe we could watch them together tomorrow?" he asked, glancing at her quickly.
Sharpay's heart started beating quickly and she smiled brightly. "Sounds great." She could tell that Troy was started to trust her and she loved it. Troy smiled at her and nodded his head.
"Great. I'll come around 2ish. Is that ok?" he asked
Sharpay nodded her head. "I'm sure. I'll see if Ryan can watch Ella- that way we don't have to worry about her running in."
Troy shook his head. "I think Chad might want to." Sharpay eyes bugged out and Troy laughed. "I know right? Who knew Chad would like kids. But I can tell that he likes her. Ella has that quality about her."
They shared a smile. "I agree. She's very outgoing and innocent." Sharpay said, giggling as she thought of Ella. "I love her though." She whispered, smiling softly.
Troy noticed her look of love on her face and he grabbed her hand. "I do too." Sharpay looked at Troy and squeezed his hand gently. "You've done an incredible job with Ella. Everything about her is loveable. I have a lot of respect for you Sharpay. I really do."
Sharpay's eyes started watering and she smiled thankfully at him. "Thank you Troy. I appreciate it."
He leaned in and kissed her cheek. "Let's watch a movie right now." He exclaimed, standing up and walking to the TV cabinet. He shuffled though her movies until he found one he liked. "Let's watch 'Disaster Movie.'"
Sharpay giggled and allowed him to out it in the DVD player. She made some popcorn and grabbed a few sodas from the kitchen before walking back into the living room. Her and Troy sat next to each other, not too close, and set the bowl of popcorn between them. Halfway between the movie, the half empty popcorn bowl was sat on the floor and the two of them were sleeping. Sharpay's head was resting on his shoulder and his arm was securely around her shoulders. She was practically laying on the couch while he sat upright. His head was atop of hers.
Ella walked into the room, after waking up again, and smiled at her parents. The two people she loved most in the world were sleeping next to each other on the couch. She walked over to them and laid down parallel to Sharpay. Ella rested her head on Troy's tummy and cuddled up with her mom. She opened her blanket and covered as much of the three of them as she could. She kissed her mom's cheek and her dad's cheek before whispering "I love you mommy and daddy. Don't let the bed bugs bite."
And another chapter done! LOL Very sweet and a little bit of Troypay! Ella is just adorable! I love writing about her or a scene with her!!
Watch out- Chad's going to babysit tomorrow! I've got ideas for that!! LOL
