Chapter 13- Thunderstorm

"Aww, well aren't those two cute?" I looked at the ceiling it was a long night. Two long nights and yesterday was a nightmare. Around midnight Liam started up and did not go back to bed until four. Troy was up with me all four hours and he started again about two hours ago, finally stopped around twenty minutes ago. "Kyle, I love you and all but go away." I grumbled flipping over; I put my head in the crock of Troy's neck. Kyle came home yesterday morning, we went out to dinner and talked it up, having a few beers while Troy stayed home watching Liam.

"Mason told me it was a long night for you guys, anything I could help with?" Kyle asked, I groaned and sat up in bed, Troy stirring around me. "Be quiet?" I asked him, he looked at me and rolled his eyes, "Very funny," I rolled my eyes just like he did, something we both got from our mom.

"I am serious, if he wakes up my mind might explode into any bitty pieces," I said quietly to him, Troy laughed next to me and Kyle stifled a laugh. "You are to cute Brie," Troy mumbled, "Yeah well I am heading out to…" Troy's eyes looked at me, "this morning." He finished for me. Troy put his strong, large, hands on my back. He rubbed it softly, "Yea well I am on my way up to the hospital to visit Jenni." Kyle said flinging his keys out, "Kyle thanks for dinner last night" I called after him, "Sure, but why not lunch again? I mean I could have been doing something yesterday night…"

"I told you, Liam is colicky and it's usually around lunch and in the middle of the night. It wasn't going to be a good time; dinner is a better option for me anymore." I said to him, he shrugged his broad shoulders and he left the room. The door opened and then the door shut, "They aren't going to last through senior year," Troy said rubbing his face; I lay back down onto his shoulder.

"Why?" I asked him, "If that was me what would I have done differently?" I closed my eyes some and thought, "You would have already been home and if you were literally forced to stay the first thing you would have done was go to the hospital" I said, he hugged me tighter around the waist. "Bingo,"

"And," I started to add, "saying he had something better to do last night, you would have totally skipped out with me and having to be dragged out of the hospital." I said giggling, Troy laughed, "True that, they have love but its first love or teenage love."

"Then will you explain to me what we have?" I asked, "Real love. Not some teenager love or first love, well you are my first love but it's something deeper than a first love." His shining eyes looked at me, which made me melt, "God, you are way too cute," I said to him, I rolled over on top of him, "Somebody is…" I giggled and I leaned over to kiss his lips, "Just a little bit, I get one night without you which might suck just a little bit but you have to get your sister home today and I don't want Liam around." I said letting my head fall against his shoulder.

"Understood, I am going to pick her up in her newer car." He said kissing my forehead, "We'll Liam and I need a ride to the airport first, Jillian is coming with me. Haley is coming home with you." I said starting to get out of bed; I pulled on my shorts as the breeze from the house kicked in. "ahh…cold." I mumbled

Troy got out of bed himself, his shirt thrown on the floor was picked up, he smelled it, and shrugged. He then slipped it over his head, "Oh that was gross," I said to Troy, he looked at me, "Why was that gross?" he asked me, "Liam spit up on that last night several times, like that's why it came off."

He looked at the shirt and shrugged, I gagged and he shook his head, "Girls," he muttered, I walked into the bathroom grabbing my Pink Yoga pants with the blue zebra strips, I pulled on a blue t-shirt with my Bolton's girl on the back, that's it. We had made it back in high school. I put my hair into a messy bun and slipped the blue thick headband in my hair. I poked my diamond stud in earrings in my ears. I made sure I have everything packed in my bags and ready to go.

I went back into the bedroom to see Troy looking at me, "Brie why don't I keep Liam with me?" Troy suggested, I smiled at him and I flopped onto the bed. "Any other time" I started "I would have been happy to give that to you but Jenni is coming home. His screaming fits in the middle of the night aren't going to work with her." I said rubbing his shoulder, "I know but I want to spend some time with him and you need a break."

"I can get a hotel or something, please!" he begged, I laughed, "I feel like we are having to share him!" I said, Troy rolled his eyes and pinned me down on the bed. "Come on Brie, I will run it by my mom and everything!" he put his hands together and I giggled. "I have no issues with it as long as you promise to ask your mom."

Troy grinned like a schoolboy, "Glad you said yes because I only got you one ticket," he said tapping my nose, I felt shocked, "You had this all planned?" I asked, "Well Duh!" he said kissing my lips, "you always have something…" I told him, he shrugged and hopped off the bed. "Did you hear that Liam, we are going to have a boy's night?"

"Come on, I need to get to the airport but before you do call your mother." I said tossing him his cell phone, "Alright but she will say yes." He said holding his phone up to his ear. I rolled my eyes and I played with Liam for a moment. He looked relaxed and calm; for once, he was not screaming or crying. I tickled his little stomach for his tongue to poke out of his mouth. I laughed and I touched his nose.

"Mom you do not understand, he has been crying like crazy. Colicky that's why I did not make it up to the hospital yesterday to see Jenni." Troy said I leaned over to kiss Liam's forehead, "You want to talk to Gabi?" I looked up at him and he tossed me his phone, "Lucille," I said to her, "Gabi are you sure you want to leave him behide with Troy?" I bit on my lip, "Yea, Troy does not get much alone time with him so for once I thought he could." I said shrugging my shoulders, "But he is really colicky during the afternoon and night. I just don't want to disturb Jenni."

"Oh Honey she has some heavy sleeping medication, it will not be an issue. You should see them try to wake her up in the middle of the night. Out like a bear in the winter!" she cried, I giggled, "Well if you do not mind I will leave you the two wackos while I go back home." I pushed some hair behide my ears while looking at Liam's perfect face.

"Well have fun okay? I will see you in a few weeks," we said our goodbyes and hung up the phone. I looked up at Troy, "Okay so you know how your family has its family reunion in the beginning of May?" I questioned, he nodded his head, "Do most of the kids not go or?" he looked at me for a second then rubbed his chin, "Erm, well this is the first years it's in May it's usually in the beginning of June." He muttered, "But I do not why they would do that?" I reached for his cell phone as Mason burst through the door.

"You all ready to head to the airport?" he questioned, "Mason?" Troy asked turning to look at him; he had Liam in his arms, and picked up one of my bags. "Why is the reunion in the beginning of May when basically everybody is still in school?" Troy asked picking up the car seat. Mason picked up my suitcase and looked at Troy.

"Well we knew you would be busy and the kids are all just going to be pulled out for two weeks of school. It is not finals or anything so we thought it would be okay. They are all just going to get homework; they will study and do something each day to prepare. Don't you worry about all of that because we figured it out? Everybody can make it and they can all make it back for the last three weeks of school."

I nodded my head, "Well okay then but we really need to go so I can catch my flight."

"Do we need Liam's bags?" Mason asked pulling on the diaper bag straps. "Nope, I get the whole night with him. Gabi can go home and sleep." I snorted, "Sleep, I get to deal with the whole Sharpay thing. Once she finds out, she is going to flip out. I mean flip. I will have her crying laughing, freaking out, everything and this will be before we actually know." I pointed out Troy shook his head.

"Even more reason for you to stay with me Liam," he said tapping his nose, we all walked towards the front door to see Jack standing in the doorway.

"You got her another car?" he asked, Troy nodded his head, "Just like her other one,"

"Very nice of you,"

"Insurance."

"Troy," I mumbled, he nodded his head, "Alright lets go, Dad, Liam and I will be back here in a little bit." He raised an eyebrow, "And Gabi is leaving? She is not taking Liam with her?" I shook my head, "Troy really wanted him to stay, Lucy does not care that much, and I have some stuff to deal with back home so…" he nodded his head, "Some sleep for you. You have rings under your eyes," he said resting his hand on my shoulder, I shook it off, "Thanks," I muttered. Troy cringed slightly and he shook his head, "Thanks father,"

Jack grinned, "Welcome son." We all walked out the door; I got into the front seat and held my bag. I looked back at Troy adjusting Liam into his car seat. I quickly got out and hopped into the back, "Mason you can sit up front with Troy. I am going to sit back here with Liam before I have to leave him with Troy for twenty-four hours," I said sniffling, Mason shook his head.

"Mothers," he scoffed, I glared at him and he just looked straight out the front mirror. Troy gave me a soft look while I looked down at Liam who was adjusting himself to the car seat. His eyes blinked blue and I looked at the clock to see that around ten he should be fine. I leaned over to kiss his soft forehead. "Troy he needs a bath tonight so…"

"I won't forget to give him one baby," he said letting his eyes look at me through the rearview mirror, I gripped his tiny head, and he reached his hands of my ring finger. I grinned pulling my cell phone out so I could take a picture of it. I snapped that picture, after that we both took endless pictures on my iPhone. I switched my background to the one of him hanging onto my ring finger. I kissed his cheek and I saw we were pulling into the airport.

We all quickly got out of the car as Troy parked it; I pulled Liam out of the car seat holding him to my chest. Troy grabbed my suitcase while Mason followed behide. I had my carry on hooked onto my back and Liam snuggling into my chest. "Gabs I can take him from you." I looked at him and he nodded his head, "Alright, alright I got it." He said reaching his arm around my shoulder. He pulled me closer to him and kissed my temple. "You do not have to go," he whispered quietly into my ear, "But I do," we walked closer to the terminal, "I have not even called Sharpay back yet. She called me the other day but I cannot tell her this over the phone. It will be the first thing I do when I get home." I said to him, we walked in the door to the luggage counter.

We checked in my luggage and we headed to security, "I will be waiting by the door Troy," Mason said walking away, we stood in front of security and I looked behide me to see the lines growing longer. I looked down at the wake baby in my arms, "He is getting big," I remarked to Troy, "I mean he is almost a month old." I commented, "I know he is getting so big. He is up more though in the middle of the night…" I giggled and pressed my lips firmly against Liam's cheek. I let my hand fall against his tiny feet, "I will see you tomorrow baby boy." I hugged him and then looked at Troy, "See you in twenty four hours," he joked, I giggled and I leaned forward to kiss his lips.

"Love you," he said, "I love you too," I murmured, I pressed my lips harder to his and he let his hand run through my hair, "Bye love," he commented

"Bye," I said handing Liam over, I bit on my lip looking at Liam, "Bye buddy, I love you." I said kissing his temple, he squawked and then looked up at Troy as to ask where I was going. "Home, we will see her tomorrow." He told him, I smiled and I kissed them both once more before picking up my bags, walking towards the security.

I turned and I looked at the two of them still standing there, I shook my head handing my boarding pass to the lady. I waved my hand before I walked through security.

My plane landed and my cell phone was out in my hand, I pushed speed dial two so I could tell Troy I landed safely. I was pulling my suitcase behide me as I headed for the car. I pushed the phone up in-between my ear as several rings went by before his voice filled the other end of the phone.

"Hey it's not a perfect time," he muttered, I heard Liam's shrieks from the other end of the phone. My body tensed and I felt the panic rise through my stomach. "I forgot but I just wanted to let you know that I landed safely." I told him, "Thank you but I am going to try a few of the things but nothing is working." He muttered shaking his head, "Love you," he said before hanging up the phone. I had no chance to respond before I heard the dial tone. I sighed softly as our car came into view; I pulled the keys out of my backpack unlocking the doors. I opened the trunk and I tossed in my carry on, and then lifted my suitcase up after it. I grabbed my phone and keys walking to the passenger side of the car.

I held my phone to my ear and I looked at the dashboard, just a little after one. I sighed and I pulled my phone up to my ear, "Gabriella! We need to talk! Sharpay keeps calling asking if I have heard from you! Something is wrong with her and she will not see a doctor!" she yelled, I sighed, "Taylor, I know, I have been avoiding her calls before guess what, I think I know what's wrong but I can not tell her over the phone. I am going to pick something up since I got back in town just minutes earlier." I told her, she did not speak back to me for a moment.

"Really you might know what's wrong?" I nodded my head, "Which has made me change my mind about school and everything. I want to be a health teacher; I just want to finish school and everything. Be done." I muttered, "Working with teenagers won't be bad." I told her, "Oh well okay but anyways will you tell me."

"Nope, not until I tell her but meet me at my place in an hour with Sharpay in the car. Do not tell her I am back in town okay? Just take her over to the place and also I will be waiting for you." I hung up the phone without anything else; I looked around my car looking for something to wear into the drug store.

My phone rang again, I looked to see Troy calling me, I answered it quickly, "Hey," I said quickly turning into the CVS parking lot." He sighed and then I heard him flop against a couch, "He fell asleep after two hours of non stop crying. I swear my head is going to blow," he muttered

"You do know that if any pictures of me purchasing a pregnancy test is that it is for Sharpay right?" I told him, "Well duh, we have not had sex in forever. Trust me I know." He muttered, I giggled, "Love you too but I am trying to find something wear inside the store so I do not get caught." I looked at the paparazzi stalkers standing at the door. "Go through the drive through…" he said the idea blinked in my mind, "Amazing idea!" I said, I put the car back into drive and looked at the road ahead of us. I pulled into the drive through. "Well I gotta go bye," I said hanging up, the woman opened the window, "Hi how may I help you…"

"Okay, I know this may sound just a tad weird, but I am trying to avoid paparazzi to stop horrible rumors that might fly around but I am in need of five two sets boxes of pregnancy tests and the biggest bottle of water you have. This is all for my best friend and I do not want them thinking its me." I told her, she smiled kindly, "No problem, I just need to know your name." I bit on my lip, "Gabriella Montez," she turned and then turned back to me, "As in Troy Bolton's girlfriend?" she whispered leaning in I nodded my head.

"Didn't you just have a baby?" she questioned, "It's for my friend," I told her; she nodded her head, "True, well I have no issue helping you. I will be back in a matter of minutes!" and at a snap of fingers she was gone. I shook my head and put my car in park. I looked at her cross the store and quickly pull things off the self; she grabbed a huge bottle of water and made her way back to me. "Here you go ten pregnancy tests with a huge bottle of water." She said ringing it up, I grabbed my wallet to pull out my credit card.

"So how is your little baby?" she asked me, "Wonderful, he is with his dad at the moment." I said handing her the credit card, "Awh, that is just too cute!" she said squealing a little bit, I laughed she wiped my card and she handed me a bag with all of the stuff inside.

"And here is your receipt." I got the small piece of paper and my credit card back. I smiled at her "Thank you so much, if I just didn't have a baby I would not mind doing it myself because I don't care about those rumors, small, harmless, and easy to get rid of." I said winking at her, she nodded her head, "Thank you and come back anytime!" I waved and pulled my car out of park lurching forward. I rolled my tinted windows up and I drove towards the stoplight.

After my five-minute drive back to my house, I pulled into the gate with no issues. Into the garage, I saw Sharpay and Taylor were not here yet which a good thing was. I could get settled, see Oreo, and try to figure out how to tell her.

I licked my lips grabbing the bag out of the car; I will come back for my luggage later. I grabbed my purse and I quickly made my way of the stairs to the living room. I looked around to see the house normal as ever. I walked up the next set of stairs towards the laundry room to find Oreo sleeping inside. "Oreo!" I cried opening the door; she jumped up and ran forward.

"How you doin girl?" I asked running my fingers through her shaggy hair, she barked and yapped for a total of a minute before settling down. "Come on baby girl, let's go outside." I said poking her in the direction. She barked again and she ran down the stairs to the front door.

I opened it up and she went running to the grass. I smiled as I leaned against the post, I heard a car coming down the street and I knew it had to be Taylor. I looked around before quickly grabbing Oreo, after she was done of course, and got inside. "What am I going to tell her," I murmured

My phone buzzed and car doors slammed, I looked down at the phone to see Troy calling. I peered out the window to see a pale and tired looking Sharpay storming up the steps of the stairs. I pressed ignore on my phone and the front door swung open and I hid in the living room.

"She is not even here Taylor! Why are you dragging me to her selfish bitch house?" Sharpay screamed, raging with hormones too.

"Just go into the living room okay? I am going to go get something," Taylor, said sighing, I hid the bag behide a pillow as Sharpay entered the living room.

"Hi!" I cheered, she looked at me deadpan, "Why are you not returning my calls!" she screamed, I bit on my lip a little before looking at her, "Well you see I think I might know what's wrong with you. There was no way I could tell you over a phone so I wanted to wait and trust me I am dying to tell you!" I took a fast deep breath before she said anything, "Oh well what do you think it is? I just think it is the flu but Taylor does not."

"Sharpay! You have been throwing up for a whole week now!" she cried, I shook my head and looked at the bag peeking out from under the pillow.

"You can not freak out if I tell you." I told her, she narrowed her eyes, "Why would I freak out…it is just the flu right? When I have the flu I throw up like crazy, I sleep like crazy, and I never have fevers." I licked my lips and shook my head, "But they do not last for a week Shar," I pointed out, her eyes hooked onto mine.

"Montez! You better tell me now!" I cringed and I looked at her, "I think you might be pregeant Shar," I looked up at her face, then to Taylors who was shocked. Sharpay then laughed, "You are insane!" she said laughing harder, I swallowed hard, "Shar, I am not joking with you on this one."

Sharpay shook her head, "This is not funny Gabs! You can not tell me something like this because you are Joking!" she said, I shook my head again and she slowly started to panic.

"No! I can't be pregnant!" she cried, Taylor and I both rushed to her side. "Gabi! I swear if I am pregnant, I do not know what I would do because I do not know how to take care of a baby! I was a twin with Ryan! That's all the siblings I have!"

I effulged her in a hug and I held her in my arms while she sobbed into my shoulder. "When I found Shar I was the same way," I whispered to her, Taylor stood by her side rubbing her shoulder. "Yea but you have Troy Gabi! Troy was there for you the whole way. Every step and guess what, if I am pregnant I have no idea who the father is. I slept with two guys, Zeke and some random dude off the club. I do not even know the guys name." she said, she leaned back and rubbed her eyes. I walked over to the bag behide the pillow. I pulled out the bottle of water, "Here babe, drink some of this." She looked at it and shook her head.

"Why would I want water?" she asked looking at me, "Because," I picked up the bag and dumped the contents onto the ground. "You need to take these." I said looking at the five boxes. She took a deep breath. "Do you have any other clothes?" she questioned, I looked at the clock to see it after two.

"Sure do, come on lets all get into something comfy because I foresee a long night ahead of us, including sappy chick flicks, lots of water, ice cream, and anything else."

"Negative pregnancy tests…" Sharpay muttered, another tear slipping down her cheeks. I wrapped my arm around her shoulder and we walked up to her room in our huge house. I opened our door to the pink filled room, "I am gonna grab something from my room." Taylor said I nodded my head.

"What if I am pregnant?" Sharpay asked me, "And I have to tell Zeke because guess what this is something you can not hide! I mean you can not hide anything." She muttered pulling out a pair of yoga pants and a hoodie from Pink. I nodded my head and she slowly got dressed taking a few sips of water every now and then. She took out her contacts and replaced them with her glasses. Tears spilled down her cheeks as she did this all. Once she was done, she looked at me, "Should I just finish this because I already have to pee." She said wiping at her red cheeks, "Drink a little more while I go grab a hoodie from my room okay?" she nodded her head walking towards the bathroom. I raced to grab a hoodie, timer, and the pregnancy test.

When I got back into the bathroom with all three things in my hand, I looked at the girls. "We are going to do all of them and then set the timer. We are going to leave the bathroom, no sitting in here; we may even go to the store to pick up some things for tonight." I said, Taylor glanced at me, "How about I just run to the store now but you guys can not look without me!" she said reaching for her keys, "I will get all the usually," she cried running down the stairs.

I looked at Sharpay who held a blank stare; she looked at the five boxes and chewed on her lip. "I can not do it. I do not want to be pregnant. I am not ready to be a mom."

"Shar, all of these things ran through my head too. Every single one of them when the doctor told me something came back wrong with my blood work. Of course, I thought cancer but then he said I was pregnant. I was shocked, scared, worried, I knew I did not want to be a mom yet and out of all those things, I just wanted Troy or a friend to be there. I was alone through those first steps and I do not want you alone. That is why I did not tell you over the phone." I told her, she swallowed hard and nodded her head.

"How did you tell Troy?" she questioned, I bit on my lip, "Before we dwell on any of that lets just make sure you are pregnant before we get to freaked out." I said, she nodded her head, "Alright lets do this." She said picking up a box, she read the instructions carefully, "Do you want me in here or in the hallway while you do this?" I asked her, "Don't leave me," she whimpered, I shook my head. "I am not going anywhere." I said leaning against the counter.

I decided quickly I just wanted glasses so I switched out. After I was done, I opened all the boxes and handed them to her one by one. She silently cried as she did so trying, once she was done she flushed the toilet, washed her hands and I set the timer. We both left the bathroom with all ten sticks sitting on the counter. We walked down the stairs and she sat on the couch once she got into the living room. I sat down next to her and she leaned into me.

"Zeke does not know I slept with any other guy, but that was right before we got back together. So technically we were not cheating." She murmured, "I know," I told her as I hugged her. Her shoulders shook and I heard the garage door opening, Taylor emerged from the top of the stairs with grocery bags in her hands. She looked at Sharpay, "How you holding up?"

"I don't know what to feel at the moment…" she mumbled I heard the timer beep and she tensed. "Come on, the quicker we get this over with the quicker you can have that bucket of ice cream." I told her, she did not move an inch. "Pay," I said, she did not move that time.

"Come on babe, you got to go look."

She shook her head, "I can't Gabi," she whispered, I grabbed her hand pulling her off the couch. "Come on its not like it's the end of the world Shar, your may or may not be pregnant." I told her, she stood reluctantly and we slowly walked to the bathroom. I heard my cell phone go off and Sharpay gave me a look. "I know that's Troy calling," she whispered, "And it can wait,"

"What if its about Liam?" she asked as we made our way up the stairs, "He is colicky right now," I told her as we walked closer to the bathroom, Taylor on the other side of Sharpay.

"My parents said I was colicky," she said crossing her arms over her chest, I smiled, "That must have been a blast!" I cheered, she tried to hide the grin on her face but we all saw the corners of her mouth slip up. I put my hand on the knob of the bathroom door as I turned the handle. I pushed open the door and I flipped on the light.

I looked at the row of pregnancy tests.

"Do you want me to tell you?" I asked her as I stepped closer to the counter. "Please," she begged, Taylor was at my side in seconds. I took a deep breath before looking at the first stick.

Postive

I shook my head then looked at the next.

Postive

That was only two out of ten let me check two more.

Postive

Postive

I turned to look at Taylor who had the same look I did, I looked down at Sharpay who was nervously biting at her fingernails.

"Congrats Shar, you are gonna be a mommy." I said trying to give her the biggest smile but she only broke down, a hand swinging out in front of her trying to catch herself.

Taylor and I were at her side in moments, "Come on babe," I said standing her back up, but Taylor and I could not hold her up with our little arms. We all sank towards the ground where she pulled her knees up to her chest. "I am going to be a horrible mom." She cried

"You will not be a horrible mom," I told her resting my head against her shoulder. "You will have me." I said to her, "And Taylor loves little kids."

"Zeke is going to hate me." She whispered she head was on the back of the wall, tears dripping down her face, "Because I can not tell him that it's his baby when I really do not know." I listened to her cry for a few moments before I sat up, "Let's forget about this all right now,"

"Gabi this is something we can not just forget about, this is something serious. I am fucking pregnant!" she yelled, once those words left her mouth her hand covered her lips. "Shar, yes you are pregnant. You need to tell Zeke, you need to your parents, Ryan you need to tell everybody…when you are ready." She looked at me, "I chickened out telling Troy for three days, the day I found out is that day the Lakers thing exploded. I waited because I knew he would not sign." Sharpay sniffled and rubbed her eyes from under her glasses.

"God, I can not even imagine that. I just don't know how I am going to tell Zeke that it might not be his." She sniffled and leaned her head against me. "I know how you feel Pay, I don't really know about the whole it may not be his thing but I do understand about being young and scared. I know that a baby is a huge deal, hell look at Liam, colicky as hell and doesn't get to see his dad that often."

Sharpay took a deep breath before talking, "I love Zeke, we got into a little fight, we separated, I had sex with some random guy from the club, Zeke and I got back together and now I am pregnant." She shook her head softly, "I can not believe that this baby might not be his, I am so stupid."

"Shar," I said, her brown eyes bored into mine, "I know Gabi you had a kid, it all turned out fine."

I shook my head, "Fine is not the word I would use, it was rocky. It was hard on Troy and I, it still is. I feel like all we did was fight after Liam was born. I am not saying Zeke will be smiling at you when you tell him but if he truly loves you, he will not leave you to defend yourself. He may get mad and throw a huge fit like males do; he may not talk to you for a week but since I know Zeke loves you he will be there." She looked at me nodding her head, "Thank you," she said to me; I gave her a small smile and got up. I quickly ditched all of the pregnancy tests into a trashcan.

"No," she spoke up, she stood up and Taylor stood by her side. "I want one of those, I want one to keep so I can show Zeke," I raised an eyebrow, "It's a stick you peed on…" I said holding it up, "Does Zeke really want to see this? You can take a picture of all ten of them." I said, she licked her lips nodding her head, "Yea, I guess that's smarter,"

We all giggled and we took a picture with her cell phone, once she was done, she hugged the phone to her chest. "Can we please go downstairs, watch The Back-up Plan, and eat a whole fucking bucket of ice cream." She said, we all high-five running down the stairs.

"Come on lets go see mommy," I groaned as if I heard Troy's voice, I heard a door slam and I knew I did hear Troy's voice. I opened on eye to see us all lying on the couch. My head was lying in Sharpay's lap; Taylor was lying straight up while Shar was all spread out over the couch.

I closed my eyes again to hear Troy's footsteps come closer; look mommy is sleeping with her three best friends. I kept my eyes closed. I heard Liam is little noise coming from his mouth. If not a minute late I felt Troy's lips come crashing down on mine, I could not resist kissing him back. I pulled my arms up around his neck, I felt him smirk into the kiss, and his tongue brushed my lips asking for an entrance. He picked me up swiftly and I ran my fingers through his hair.

Troy massaged my tongue as I played with his hair, once we both began to run out of air we pulled back. I let my head fall against his shoulder. "I want to wake up to that every morning."

"You mean afternoon," he said, I looked back at the clock to see it was after one. I sighed as I leaned against him. "Has Liam done his thing yet?" I asked, "Nope because I have not fed him yet." I closed my eyes and Troy kissed the top of my head. "So how was last night?"

"Rough, he didn't wake Jenni though."

"Did she like her car?" I asked him, he nodded his head, "Yea, she was shocked but really happy." I picked my head back up and I let my lips touch his again. "You are in a mood today," he whispered softly on my lips. I let my forehead rest on his, "I miss you." I whispered back to him.

"Trust me, I miss you too baby," his hands running down my back, "So is Pay?" Troy questioned, I nodded my head softly, "Yea, she was very upset so please."

"Why was she so upset about it?" he asked me, I let my head fall onto his shoulder, "She doesn't know if it is Zeke or not…" I said turning my body over in his lap, my eyes were now facing Sharpay who was sleeping peacefully. One hand draped over her stomach, "But I was the same way, I knew it was yours but I know the emotions she is feeling." I said he rubbed my shoulder, "She will be okay."

I nodded my head, "I know but I am tired," I muttered softly, "What time did you guys fall asleep?"

"I don't know, early." I said to him, he chuckled getting up with me on his lap. Liam began to fuss from his car seat. "How was the plan ride?" I asked him, I stood up on my own two feet. "He did not like landing very well this time, probably the popping of ears." He said wrapping his arms around my waist. Liam's crying became louder and it was clear he was hungry. "Troy we need to feed him," I said, Troy sighed, "But he is going to be all colicky," he whined, "I know it wont be fun, why don't you go feed them while I wake the girls up." I said walking over to the couch, Troy sighed picking up his car seat and heading off to the kitchen.

I sat down on the couch looking at the two girls, "Hey," I said shaking Sharpay, she rolled over quietly and opened her eyes. She looked down at her hand and gave a little smile before making eye contact at me. "Liam is going to be screaming his head off after he eats, just a prewarning to go back to your apartment you upstairs if you want more sleep." She nodded her head, I moved to Taylor.

"Tay," I said shaking her shoulder, "Hmm?"

"Liam is going to be all fussy after eating you can go upstairs to get some more sleep or head back home." She nodded her head slowly, both her and Sharpay trudged up the stairs towards there room. I shook my head smiling at the two; I walked to the kitchen to see Troy-feeding Liam.

"Please don't be all colicky," Troy begged Liam, Troy burped him on his shoulder. "You look like a pro," I said from the doorway, he spun around in the barstool to look at me. "Did they both leave?"

"They just went upstairs to there room, so we are keeping him down here." I said to him, I went over to lean on his shoulder. He gave me a kiss on the temple and I put my hand on top of Liam's head. "Hey buddy," I said, I leaned over to kiss his forehead. He grumbled from the bottle and he began to fuss. "And here we go."

After three hours of nonstop crying he was finally asleep, I fell back against the couch and so did Troy. "I can not believe this," Troy muttered rubbing his eyes, I yawned as I looked over at the baby sleeping, the small breaths up and down.

Troy laid flat on the couch, I got up and I crawled over to on top of him. My lips touched his jaw and I moved my way up to his lips. Troy let his hand wonder up the back of my shirt, "I love you," he muttered, his lips moving back onto mine. I massaged his shoulder as I kissed his lips harder. He began to pull on my shirt and I let him take it off, the least I can do.

"Nothing more than making out," I whispered to him, he nodded his head and started to bite on my earlobe, my shirt came from over my head as I pulled on Troys shirt. It easily came off from his head, I looked at his toned body that I missed seeing. I let my hand rub on his abs, "Why are you in a sports bra?" he asked me, I giggled.

"Do you not like?" I asked kissing him on the lips; he wrapped his strong arms all the way around my body. He let his lips touch mine again before he finally looked at me. "I love you." He whispered to me once more.

"I love you too Troy Anthony Bolton, I love you too." I let my fingers run through his messed up hair, "I love how you take of Liam, I love how you are always there for me. I love every little thing about you." I kissed his chest and I felt my eyes flutter to a close. "Hey are you hungry?" Troy asked me

I nodded my head, "A little bit,"

"Come on lets go make some food," he said rubbing my lower back with his fingers, I got up from on top of him and grabbed his shirt that was laying on the floor. I slipped it over my head Troy let a grin play on his face. "God, you do know how sexy you look right now?" he said slipping his arms around my waist, he pulled me closer and a giggle escaped from my mouth. "Do I?" I asked him, tipping my head backwards to look into his eyes.

"Yes." He whispered before leaning down to kiss my lips, I melted into his arms and we kept it simple. He enlaced our hands before pulling back his lips, "So what do we have in our fridge?" Troy asked as he pulled my hand, "Uhm, we have some steaks in there." I told him, "Yum," he said

I kissed his cheek and looked down at my clothes, "Do we have enough to feed your two friends upstairs?" I shook my head, "Just two,"

"Then maybe they should go home for the night," he whispered, his lips coming closer to mine, "You act like I am your daughter," I said laughing, he smirked and gave me a light kiss on the the lips.

"Gross," I heard from behide me; I turned around to see Sharpay and Taylor both standing in the doorway. I rolled my eyes and I let go of Troy's hand. "Are you two going to head home?" I asked them, "Yea we were just coming to say bye and thanks for last night." Sharpay said catching my eye, "Hey, I had a lot of fun last night." I said winking at the two.

"Well we will see you tomorrow," Taylor said pulling her keys from her coat pocket, she yawned and shook her head. "I have never been so tired before," she said reaching over for a hug, I laughed, "I know what you mean." I quickly gave Sharpay a hug, "When are you going to tell him?" I asked her, she shrugged her shoulders.

"I dunno. I am not ready to tell him yet," she said, a look of hurt coming over her face. "He has been begging me to go to the doctors though…" she said, "Well call me when you decide and I will have that ice cream waiting for you." I said giving her one more hug. "Thanks for being there Gabs," I nodded my head, they both walked to the door. I watched them walk out before I turned back to Troy.

"Where are your cousins?" I asked poking my tongue; he wrapped a potato in foil to go out on the grill. "They are still in San Diego with Mason; they will be back in two days." He said, "Oh and Jillian is starting her job on Monday, Haley found a temp job until we can get out office up and running." He paused from what he was doing to turn and look at me. "They also said they found a condo they really liked, with all there savings…" I nodded my head.

"Means they are moving out shortly." I looked over at the backdoor which Troy slipped through. He started the grill before working on the potatoes. I yawned as he opened the grill and tried to control the flames that came shooting out. I glanced at the clock to see it a little after four. It would be past five before we ate.

I went over to the laundry room to pull on a pair of jeans that I had just cleaned and pulling on a tank top from Wet Seal. I pulled my hair into a messy bun and grabbed a thick black headband to put in my hair.

I slipped on a pair of flip-flops before heading back to the kitchen; I saw Troy still standing on the deck. I smiled and I opened the glass cabinet. I pulled out one wine glass; I opened the fridge to grab the wine I had just opened before we left and a Bud Light for Troy. I poured my glass, I picked them both up and I turned on the stereo that ran through the house. The beat thumped through the house. I pushed out the back door and listened to the music. Party Rock Anthem beating through the speakers, I swayed a little to the music. I set the beer down in front of Troy and took a seat down at the patio furniture.

"Why thank you," he said turning around, he looked up at the stereo, "Do you think that is going to wake Liam up?" I shook my head, "Nah, he sleeps through a lot of stuff when he wants to sleep." I said taking a sip, "But I should go check up on him." I said standing up. "Do you want anything while I am inside?" I asked him

He looked down at his bare chest, "How about a shirt?" he asked; I looked to see he was wearing a pair of dark wash jeans. "Sure," I said

I walked back into the house and down to the living room where I saw his small body laying, his breathing soft. I smiled to see him curled up in a ball. For keeping me up and crying all the time, he was still cute and loveable. I do not know what my life would be like right now without him. I looked at the speakers in the house to see them on five, I went over and to turn them all down to low. I noticed a big difference, to the point you could barely hear them.

I walked back to the laundry room to find him a shirt. I chose between a white polo and a yellow Lakers shirt. I shook my head, I am sick of seeing him in a Laker shirt. I pulled the white Polo off the hanging and went back outside after checking on Liam once more.

I walked back outside to see Troy sitting in the chair taking a drink of his beer. I tossed him his shirt and he slipped it over his head. He ran his fingers through his hair; I went over to his lap and sat down on his lap. "So I can not wait for the season to be over." I said nuzzling my nose into his neck. "You know how I love basketball but this season needs to be over." He said, "I don't want to be the rookie anymore."

I grabbed his hand and laced my fingers into his, "I just want you to be home," I whispered into his ear, he grabbed his beer taking a sip. I looked over the ocean as it lapped onto the soft sand. I took a deep breath and Troy patted my arm, "I need to check on the food" I started to get up but Troy picked me up and set me back down on the chair. "Do not move," he said sticking his finger out at me. I giggled shaking my head.

"I need to go start the salads." I told him, he shook his head, "Nope you should just stay right there." He said I shook my head taking a drink of the wine sitting in front of me.

Troy flipped the potatoes, once I set my drink down Liam's small cry carried through the baby monitor. "Do you think it was the music?" I quickly asked Troy before standing up, Troy looked down at his watch and shook his head. "I'm not sure," he said, "He should not want to eat yet, that's not what it sounds like."

I opened the sliding glass door and hurried towards Liam in the living room. I grabbed the blanket on the couch and I went over to the baby in the crib. "Hey buddy," I said picking him up, I placed my hand on his butt and I knew he needed a diaper change. "Alright well let's go change your diaper." Kissing his forehead he squirmed some more.

Making my way to the nursery, I pushed the door open laying him down on the changing table. I unbuttoned his onsie and picked up the diaper from the shelf below.

Changing his diaper really fast I decided to change him into some footie's PJs. I picked him up as I walked over to his closet. I pulled out the monkey one Troy oh so much loved. I went back over to the changing table; Liam stopped crying and just looked around the room. "Gabs!" Troy yelled up, "It's starting to get cold outside, would you mind grabbing me a jacket?"

"Totally, be down in five minutes!" I called putting Liam's feet through the clothes.

I buttoned up the shirt and picked him up, he squeaked and I picked up the pacifier and gave it to him. He took it greatly and I gave him a kiss. I put the blanket on his shoulders as he sucked on the pacifier. I walked to my bedroom to grab two jackets from Troy's side of the closet.

I hurried back down the stairs and walked out onto the patio. "Ah! I love that one on him!" Troy said coming over trying to steal him from me. I turned giggling and I gave Troy the hoodie. He shook his head; I looked at the footie's I had put him in. They were cream and white strips with a monkey hanging off a branch. The footie's were monkey's heads that were soft. I sat down in the chair and held Liam close to my body.

"He is too cute," Troy, said looking at me, I nodded as I looked at the waves. "He just needed to be changed," I told Troy.

"I figured." He sat down across from me as I cradled Liam in my arms. I draped the blanket over his body. "You know he has your face." I told Troy, Troy smiled and brushed his hair out of his eyes.

I grabbed my glass of wine taking a small drink before feeling the chills up and down my arms. The wind began to pick up and Liam began to fuss. "Alright, I am going to go inside and start salads." I said standing up with Liam in my arms. "I am going to come in with you; it feels like its going to rain." He said picking up everything on the table. I looked up at the sky to see it grew gray awful quick.

We rushed inside and Troy moved the grill closer to the door, under the covered area. I made it inside; I looked at Liam who was wide-awake. I did not want to put him in a playpen in a different room but he was too small to be in a highchair. I chewed on my lip, "Troy what could we put Liam in?" I questioned as he came through the backdoor.

"What about that Fisher Price play and sleeper or something like that." He said my eyes light up, "Yeah, I totally forgot about that. Is that in the playroom or in the nursery?" I asked

"Playroom I believe." I nodded and went walking up the stairs with Liam; he gurgled and made a funny face. Shaking my head I laughed, while kissing his forehead I opened the playroom door. I looked around; the last time it was used was when Vanessa was over with the girls. I could not wait for Liam to be old enough to play in here. I grabbed the yellow sleeper thing and headed back down the stairs.

Making it back to the kitchen I sat it down on the floor, Liam kicked his legs, moving his arms, "You are too cute," I murmured, he made small noises, I put him in the soft area and he natural folded his arms to his body. I covered him with the small blue blanket.

"Looks like its going to be a thunderstorm," Troy commented, "I can truly say that we have not had one of those since Liam was born." I told him opening the fridge to grab the lettuce waiting to be pulled apart. "I guess we get to see how he likes that," Troy mumbled taking a drink of his beer.

"Great," I bit my tongue and started peeling the lettuce. "Can not wait!"

I laughed harder, "I can not believe you guys did that!" Troy laughed even harder as he told me the story about the prank they pulled on Luke and Kobe. "We were so bored!" Troy said shrugging his shoulders; he took the last drink of his second beer. I looked at the stove to see it was just a little before six. "That was a really good dinner," I told him

"Why thank you," I looked at Liam who was sleeping in his sleeper. I took a sip of the wine sitting in front of me, "So-" Troy started but was interrupted by a loud crack of thunder, followed by Liam's waking cry. The house shook from the thunder while my head spun from the sounds of Liam waking up.

"Well this party is over," I said finishing off my wine, Troy got up from his chair to go pick up Liam who was crying harder. Once he was in Troy's arms, he slowly began to settle down burying his head into Troy's neck. Troy soothed him quickly as I cleared the kitchen table. I waved his beer bottle around before he noticed me, "You can take it," he said, nodding I walked off to put all of the dishes into the sink.

Another clap of thunder ran through the house making Liam fuss, Troy knew that I hated thunderstorms, as if I always wanted him to hold me but know we have Liam, Liam is first. My hands shook a little but I wiped them off on my jeans. "Are you okay?" Troy asked me, I looked up at him to see his caring blue eyes. "Just a little tired,"

"Let's go to the living room," he said, after shutting off a few lights, I followed him to the living room. I grabbed a blanket that rested on the couch and I went over to where Troy was sitting. I climbed onto the couch next to him and curled up into a ball throwing the blanket over us.

"What am I going to do with the both of you?" he asked as he put his arm around me pulling me closer, I smiled and I grabbed Liam's foot. He turned his head to look at me and I smiled at him, "Tell daddy that you got this from me," I said bring my fingers up to let my hands slide through his crazy hair he already had.

"I knew he was missing something," Troy teased, I smiled leaning closer into him. My eyes drifting between open and close, "We need to feed him Troy," the mumble leaving my lips, "I know but he is content at the moment, if he gets fussy I will feed him." Another clap of thunder followed by a flash of lighting, I tensed and Liam cried. Troy softly shook his head as he rubbed my shoulder and juggled Liam in his hand.

We then heard the steady fall of rain, I took a deep breath and I pulled out my cell phone to see a missed call from Jake. I shook my head saying I would call him tomorrow. I snuggled closer to Troy, Liam calmed back down and we sat quietly in our living room. "I love this," Troy commented

"What?"

"Thunderstorms." I shook my head at him, "How could you love this?"

"I am getting to be with you and Liam both of you wanting me." He said smirking, I laughed, "Wow," I said to him, "No but seriously, I am here getting to spend time with both of you. Nobody needing anything from me, nobody calling me, just my girl and my son." I bit my lip and nodded my head.

"I guess I could get use to thunderstorms," I joked, he chuckled and the rain started to pick up. Liam began to whine and Troy looked at me. "I think I should feed him,"

"Yea," I said sitting up, "Maybe he will sleep a few hours before he starts his whole crying thing." I yawned and Troy gave me a kiss on my forehead. "Just expect a long night," he said, I giggled and I rubbed my eyes.

Once Troy was gone I was lost in my thoughts, I pulled the blanket up around me and rested my eyes.

"Hey are you falling asleep on me!" Troy called; opening one eye, I looked to see Troy-feeding Liam. They looked so cute together; I pulled my phone out to take a picture of the two. I quickly snapped it when Troy was not looking. "No." I said sitting up, another thunderclap.

"That's good but you do look tired."

"Liam is making me tired,"

"Don't I know that," He said sitting back down next to me, I opened Facebook on my phone and pushed add picture. Is my boyfriend amazing or what? ;)

I then posted the picture of Troy feeding Liam, I shook my head and I cuddled next to Troy. The thunder and lighting continued through the next half hour. Liam had been fed and burped multiply times, now we were all lying in the room. All together on the couch.

"I do not want to see this night end." My voice held in the air, "Me either," Troy whispered, he kissed the top of my head and put his arm around my shoulder.

"I think I might get used to the idea of thunderstorms,"
