A/N: It's been a while, I know. Life happens. I'm sorry but here's a new chapter.

Ryan's POV

Storming out of the apartment as I found out Sharpay slept with him yet again. Was she looking to get pregnant for a second time? So many thoughts ran through my head. It had to be a fucking Wildcat and him of all people. I didn't even bothered to go to work. I decided to take the day off and just walk downtown. I really left my dream college to help her with her child for 5 years and here we are with the gang all over again. I walked and walked till I could no longer walk. I ended up in the far part of downtown.

My stomach began to growl at me. I guess it was time to eat. I found a nice little diner and went to eat. I sat down and waited to be waited on. "Hello, what can I get for you" I turned my head to order when I was in complete shocked. It was Gabriella. She was wearing a cute little outfit "Gabby? You work here?"

It was a half smile. "Hey Ry. What are you doing here?" She answered my question with a question. I looked around and she laughed "Opps dumb question. I'm taking my 15" she called out and sat across from me. "I hate it here, but money is money."

"True that" We laughed yet suddenly it got quiet. Her face was so perfect. I wanted to kiss it but had to hold back. She is the main wildcat wife after all.

I saw her play with her fingers. I notice she's not wearing her wedding ring. That was odd even for her. I wonder what happened. She brushed her hair away from her eyes and looked over at me. "So, is Chad really Carla's father" Her sweet innocent voice.

I knew this was coming up. This wasn't a secret any longer. I just know Shar is upset the way it came out. It was randomly and by chance it was like it was supposed to happen. It was still too soon. I love Carla like if she was my own, but she isn't and needs her actual father. I deeply sighed and said "Yep. Surprisingly my sister ended up back in bed with him again" her jaw dropped.

Did I mean to spill the beans on my sister having sex yet again with the guy who knocked her up again? No, but it's not fair how this is happening. It's like she wasn't learning her lesson.

"Did they not. Really?" I nodded once more. She gasps and she was shocked by the sudden news. "I hope they aren't planning on getting together"

I rolled my eyes "I could only hope not. Enough of my sister. What are you doing working here?" I leaned back into my seat. She sighed and it wasn't a good sigh.

As if in the queue her phone buzzed. She looked at it then placed it down. I'm assuming it was Troy. Something was going on. "Sorry, that was rude of me. But to answer your question, I only work here like once or twice a week to help an uncle of mine"

Something was up. It was clear as day. I sucked in my gut and let it out to ask her a risky question which was. "I see. Don't mean to ask but how's the marriage coming along?" Instantly her face tensed up. I struck a nerve. I freaked out and quickly tried to apologize.

"I'm sorry…" She looked like she was about ready to burst into tears. She asked for the rest of the day off. I walked with her to a nearby park after I ordered to go. We sat on a park bench, and she seemed better. I didn't mean to make her cry but I did but it wasn't about me so that was good.

She took a deep breath and let it out as I sat there and ate my burger. "I want to apologize. Things haven't been going well. In fact, things are just not good" She looked up at the sky. "Troy and I aren't married in fact; we broke off the engagement a year after he asked me to be his wife. Everyone thinks we got married. He's been messing around with other girls, but I haven't said much" All of this information is shocking. I had no idea Troy was this much of a fuck up. "I'm kind of jealous of your sister. She gets everything I want. I always wanted to start a family but Troy rather plays basketball especially with other women." I could tell she was deeply hurt by this.

I finished eating and threw away my trash. I sat back down next to her. "I am so sorry that all happened. I had no idea Troy was this bad. Here I thought Chad was bad but nope…" I rubbed the back of my head "Shit… I need to apologize to Sharpay…" Gabriella looked at me confused. "I called her a slut… I was hurt from last night when Carla said I'm not her dad… I took out on Sharpay for sleeping with Chad again"

She looked at me with a weird look as she crossed her arms. "Ryan, that's not nice. Yes, she made a mistake years ago but that's no reason to say that to her." I lowered my head in disappointment. She was right I shouldn't have said that. Sharpay must hate me. "I'm sure she'll forgive you though after all you are twins"

I would only hope she would. I remember when we were kids, I broke her favorite toy, and she still brings it up from time to time. "Yeah hopefully" I looked up at the sky myself.

"Hey Ryan…" I turned my attention back to Gabriella. Her eyes were beautiful. Everything about her was beautiful. She leans in a press her lips against mines. I was shocked but I gave in and kissed her back. I was really making out with Gabriella. After a few minutes we broke apart. Mostly because we needed air. She stared into my eyes as I did hers. "Thank you for talking with me"

I held her hand "Thank you as well Ms. Montez" The rest of the day was just us talking and going out. I finally got to kiss the girl of my dreams. I felt as if I were on top of the world, but I was still worried that Sharpay hates me for what I have said.

A few weeks later

Sharpay

Things were still pretty shaky with Ryan and I. We rarely talk as he was working a lot lately and spending more time outside. I was still hurt deeply when Ryan called me a slut. I wasn't expecting him of all people to call me that. I can't blame him. After all, I did end up in bed again with Chad that one time a few weeks ago and we haven't really talked about anything that involves Carla. Chad has been over every other day to see Carla. Even though I was on edge about them getting along but it seems to work out for the most part. I watched as Carla talk with Chad. This is how it was supposed to be years ago.

"Mom" I shook out of my thoughts and looked at my child. "Are you and dad going to be together?"

I looked at Chad at he looked at me. We haven't gotten that far. We just end up having sex each time we see each other. I smiled a bit at my daughter. "Listen, this is a lot. Your father and I need to just talk things out, okay?" I placed my hand on her head.

She gave me a look as if she was judging me and just shrugged it off for now. At this point I just want her to go to school and get out of my hair for a moment. Once she got ready, I dropped her off at school while Chad stayed back. After dropping her off at school I came back to Chad sitting at the kitchen table reading a book.

"I didn't know you read" letting out a small chuckle he looked over at me and smirked. That smirk was everything and dangerous at the same time. "And that very smirk is why we are both in this situation we are in now."

He stood up and walked over to me. He lifted my head by my chin. I had forgotten how much taller he was from me. His nice curly hair was in braids for once which made me look extra amazing. We locked eyes and he leaned in close. This feeling that I was getting was warm, but it came to a halt when we heard the keys to the front door unlock the door. We split apart quickly, and Chad went back to reading.

"Shar?" It was Ryan. The door closed and I heard his footsteps walking over to the kitchen. "There you are, listen we need to talk" Now he wants to talk. It's been weeks since we last had a conversation but NOW, he wants to talk. I ignored him. I didn't want to hear it. "Listen, I am sorry what I said. I was out of line, and I was just scared you will make the same mistake."

I turned to him and gave him a headshake. I really wanted to tell him off but was it worth it? He did make it seem like I am the only one at fault when Chad was the one who did knock me up after all. "Ryan, I am disappointed with you. You act like I wanted to be pregnant the first time. I didn't but I am glad I did. It humbled me and now I have a beautiful daughter."

He knew I was right with the guilt written all over his face. "I was in the wrong. Will you please forgive me?"

As much as I didn't want to forgive him right away, I had to. That was my twin brother after all, and we do get into it a lot but always make up at the end. "Fine. I will but don't you dare call me out like that again." He walked over to me and gave me a hug. "Speaking of which. Now that Ryan is here. Chad, we need to talk"

He glanced over at me as he placed his book down. "I was waiting for that."

Deeply I inhaled then exhaled. I sat in the seat across from him and Ryan sat next to me. I feel like we are doing an interview for a babysitter or something but that's not it. I need to know where he stands on being with Carla.

"I know this is still all new to you. Finding out years later you have a daughter is a shock. I don't want you thinking you can just walk in and be her dad. It takes a lot of work. After all, 5 years is time you will never get back" I was firm. His smirk faded as he gave me a serious look.

He fixed himself in the chair and he closed his eyes. "I wasn't intending on having kids until I was older but finding out the way I did about my child is still a shock." He opened his eyes and looked at me. "Regardless of how I found out, I am more upset on why wasn't told when she was still a baby. You mean to tell me she knows about me through pictures but not me as myself?" He ran his hand down his face. He was clearly frustrated "Sharpay, I knocked you up and you never told me. Would you blame me if I just got up and leave to never return?"

That struck a nerve. He wasn't wrong but he didn't need to tell me that way. But I did need to hear those words. I should have told him from the beginning. How foolish of me. "I am sorry…"

I could tell he was annoyed with me. "Are you really? After all, whenever we are together apparently, we just end up in bed. "I bit my tongue and played with my hair. I tried to hold back the tears that were forming. What he was saying was right.

I tried to protest by saying "We were both drunk when we had sex the first time."

But he came back at me with "And we were drunk a few weeks ago. Who's to say you won't end up pregnant again" Ouch that hurt. He didn't need to go that low. I wasn't even sure if he was wearing a condom when we last had sex. I could be pregnant and don't know about it now.

"I am on birth control" I choked on my tears. It was true I was on birth control. I just started it to be honest, like two weeks ago but sometimes those fail from what I read online. Speaking of which, when was my last period. I will take a test after this conversation. Now I am worried that I might be after we did have sex without a condom yet again.

Chad let out a groan as he rubbed the back of his head. I'm sure there's a lot going on in his mind but that would just have to be a one-on-one talk with him alone. "I hope so…" He wasn't too sure of my answer, and neither was I. I wasn't trying to get pregnant again and I hope I am not.

Ryan had enough of us going back and forth and chimed in. "This isn't getting us anyway. What matters is Carla. You two are parents. You don't have to get together but what matters is her" The room fell silent. I sighed as I felt like this was getting us nowhere.

Chad groaned once more as he looked at Ryan then back at me. I still couldn't believe I had sex with him again. But it feels good. Who knew this man had that all on him. I needed it to quit fantasizing about him. I shook my head and tried to get back on topic "Okay how about this… We can do visitations on weekends so that way you can still be in school" He gave me a soft glare.

I watched as he put his phone on the table and said, "I refuse to just leave you alone any longer with our child" So now it's our child? He wasn't here for her life. I was here. I want him to be here, but this just feels wrong. I had so much going through my head.

I crossed my arms. "So, what are you saying?"

He crossed his arms back at me. I see he wasn't going to go down easily "I wanna be in my child's life. She deserves her father now" It was silent for moment. You could hear the water dripping from the sink. Needed to make a mental note to get that fixed. Chad and I was glaring at each other. It just felt like he was questioning my parenting style.

Ryan raised his hand as he seen we were ready to go at each other's throats again. "Shar, give him a chance" My twin tried to defuse the situation. He had a point in giving Chad a chance, but Carla is my little girl. I raised her well without him, yet I still needed him. I had to make the right choice. But before I could give an answer the doorbell rang. I sighed with frustration and went to answer it. Troy stood before me. He didn't seem so happy. I guess we are all unhappy.

He looked sweaty as if he ran over here. "Where's Chad?" I pointed towards the kitchen, and he stormed inside of my house. I closed the door and followed him. He stood before his friend and was fuming.

Chad watched as his best friend stand before him. "Um, hi?" We were all confused.

He pointed at me and said "So, you really did sleep with Sharpay again?" As if I am not standing right here. That ticked me off a bit. How is he just going to assume we had sex again. Even though we did.

I was offended and shook my head. "Why is that your concern?" I raised my eyebrow.

"Because I need him to focus on himself and not no child he didn't know about" I laughed because obviously something else was bothering him and he thinks it's best to blame me. I rolled my eyes at him and tilted my head to the side.

Chad knowing his friend all too well knew something was up as well. He stood up in front of Troy causing Troy to back up. "So, what really happened because this isn't about me. This is different" Troy looked guilty.

He rubbed the back of his head. Both Ryan and I stood there as they began to talk. "I guess, I can't keep anything from you, but Gabriella said she wants a break. That she needs time to think. As if I didn't give her the best years of our relationship." So, Ms. Perfect finally got to break up with him. Now this was something I loved hearing. I looked over to Ryan and I noticed he had a weird look on his face. That was very strange, even for him. We'll talk about that later. Especially since I noticed the moment Troy walked in, he tensed up. He's now trying to doge the conversation in total and that's not like him. Hello, we were in drama classes mostly all our lives this would have been everything to him.

Troy looked defeated and not sure what to do. I walked over to him and patted his back. "I think this is what's best for now." He seemed offended by my comment, but I didn't care.

Troy took Ryan's seating spot and sighed. "So, parenting, how is that going?' He pulled out his phone. I glanced over to see him texting Gabriella. They seem to be in a heated argument from what I could make out. Ryan left the kitchen to go pick up Carla from school.

Chad sat back down and glanced over at me for a moment. "That's why am here. Trying to figure out what is best for Carla. That is my daughter after all" Troy stepped out since his phone rang and I was left with Chad all alone again.

My heart raced. Every time we are alone something always happens. I tried not to think of it and tried to stick with what we are here for and that is Carla. "Do you still go to college?" He nodded and I thought some more.

He looked at the ceiling "I may get signed over to the Lakers" I was shocked hearing what he said. That's a big deal. "Yea, I just don't want you to feel like I abandoned you both if I do make it. Heck. If I do make it, I want you both to come live with me"

I must-have been dazed out, but did he say he wanted us to move in with him. This is all happening so fast. He placed his hand alongside mine and smiled. "I won't force either of you if you're not comfortable"

"Chad I…" Tears started to form in my eyes. He got up and walked over to me and hugged me from behind.

He whispered "Shh this is our little secret" He kissed my cheek and then I turn around and we locked eyes. "You are beautiful" He leans in, and I lean in as well. Suddenly our lips touch. This time it was warm and fuzzy. Not Sexual or anything. Just passion as if we've been waiting for this moment. We deepened the kiss as we began to tongue wrestle. He held ne close and we kissed some more. He pulled away and our foreheads touched one another as he breathes heavily.

Was I in love with Chad? Chad Danforth of all people. He's my ex-crush best friend. I did end up having a baby by him, but it was a mistake that has been costing me the rest of my life.

"Should I go?" Troy's voice spooked us both. It made us jump apart. He stood there with a smug grin. "I see you two… I already know you two got it in last time."

My face was instantly red. I had almost forgotten we did that. "S- shut up"

"Got in what?" I heard a voice and I turned to see Carla walking in. She placed her bag on the table. I lowered my eyes halfway and gave a glare at my child. She took a step back and bumped into Ryan. She knew she was in trouble.

"Grown up stuff" Troy changed the subject.

I pointed to the chair next to Chad. She quietly walks over as she has her hands folded. I had gotten a text earlier that she was misbehaving in class. I don't care if Chad is here or not, I will discipline her how I see fit. "Please tell me the truth. Why were you misbehaving at school today. The teacher sent me a message earlier"

"Kid pushed me earlier, so I pushed. He called me a spoiled brat. So, I got up and pushed him down" I examined my child to see if she was lying but that's the thing she's never lied to before so why start now.

I rubbed the top of my head as I felt a headache coming. "We'll talk more about this later. For now, just go to your room."

She got up and grabbed her bag. "Dad, you're still here?" She looked at Chad. I was taken aback by her sudden interest in her father. "Why?" She placed her bag back down. Ryan shook his head as he knew this was just her acting out.

Chad nodded as he tilted his head. "Do you not want me to be here?" She looked at me then back at him. She looked at him up and down with disgust. How could a five-year-old have so much sass.

"Well, you haven't been here for five years. What's changing that now? Now that you know I exist now you suddenly want to be in my life. Give me a break" My jaw had dropped. Yes, I knew my child was smart, but I was NEVER expecting her mouth to be this way. Chad looked amazed yet annoyed that he got called out that way.

He chuckled as he bent down to her level and looked at her. She took a step back. They both looked into each other's eyes. He cleared his throat. "Listen here, just because you look like me and all doesn't give you a pass to talk to me that way. I am still your father whether you like it or not. It wasn't my choice of not knowing as I told your mother, but I am here now and this sassy with me will end now" Something about him saying that made me feel excited. "Got that?"

I could see she was not happy that she met her match. "Crystal…" She grabbed her bag and went up to her room. Chad stood back up stretching his body.

Troy clapped his hands "I wasn't expecting you to be so firm with her" Troy spoke. "You stepped in that dad role really quick" I know she hates him right now.

"Yea, I did." He turned his attention towards me. "Listen, regardless of the outcome I will be in her life. Like it or not. I am here to stay" All I could do was nod because this was different. After all of this we agreed this weekend, he would take Carla to meet his parents. He wants his parents to meet their granddaughter. Troy went home and so did Chad. I was now left with my little family.

Ryan decided to make dinner. I wasn't in the mood for cooking. It was a silent dinner after everything that happened earlier. After dinner Carla helped with the dishes then she started on her homework. "Mom, why did you let dad talk to me like that?"

She still was upset after Chad told her about herself. She wasn't happy that he gave her the same energy she gave out to him. "I didn't, you made him do that with your back talking" I admitted. "He is your father, and you have no choice but to listen to him, unless I say otherwise."

She huffed. "But why? He's only been around for a few weeks. That doesn't make up for missing out for 5 years." This child is something else.

"That may be correct but still you will not talk that way about your father. He is trying. Give him that credit." I stood firm and she shrugged, after her homework was done. She went to her room and got ready for bed. Ryan was now in the living room watching his shows. I sat next to my brother, and he laid his head on my lap.

He ran his hand through my hair as I watched the TV with him. "So, is everything okay with you and Chad?" I nodded. Not much was said, and we basically fixed things.

We both stared at the TV, and I think it was the perfect time to bring up the tense feeling I saw in his face when Troy showed up. "So, why did you tense up when Troy came around" His face turned a bit pale and I quickly sat up to look him in the eyes. He was guilty of something. "Ryan tell me' He tried getting up to leave but I cling onto him as tried to get away. We tossed around for a few minutes until now I was pinned on top of him. This wasn't the first time I was on top of him like this to get answers either.

I could hear him growling a bit as he tried to reverse what I just did but I wouldn't budge. I leaned down and pinned his arms above his head. He gave off a slight groan. "Shar… please" he begged. Shaking my head to his pleading looks I continue to pressure him. "Ry, tell me what is going on" I knew it had to be this big if he's trying to hide something from me.

"I had sex with Gabriella" He blurted out. My eyes opened wide, and I rolled off of him. I was now on my knees and on the floor. What the hell did I just hear?!

Ryan

"I had sex with Gabriella" My heart raced as I watched her give me surprised look. I watched as she rolled off me and sat there on her knees. She was in disbelief. She stood up and dusted herself off. She turned to me and then sat on the couch.

I sat up and sighed as I knew I was in for the conversation of my life. I sat next to her, and she just shook her head. "Really Ryan!" She stood up once more and she gave me a death glare. "Of all people why did it have to be her?!" I rubbed the back of my neck with my hand.

"It just happened. We've been hanging out a lot lately and one thing led to another and yea. We had sex. I think that's why Troy and she are on a break." I sheepishly admitted. Her facial expression softened before she just sat back down. Here I thought I was in deep shit.

She was still in shock because it did take a moment to register everything. "When did our lives become messy…" She whispered. I am sure she is talking about being pregnant as a teen. I placed my arm around her shoulder. I rubbed her head like I used to do as a child.

"Did you at least wrap it up?" I chuckled and nodded.

"I don't plan on having any little ones anytime soon" I sat next to her, and we both sighed. She stood up and stretched and informed me that she will be taking a shower. Today was a long day after all.

As she left the living room, I laid on the couch and deeply started thinking of my life choices. I left college to help my sister raise my niece and just recently had sex with my long-time high school crush. This was a lot.

Chad

After everything that went down I made my way over to my parent's place after I left Sharpay place. I felt the need to just enjoy my parents before I broke the news to them. I see that they were in the middle of having dinner. My dad wasn't a fan of me just showing up out of the blue with his face looking bothered by my appearance. Mom happily welcomed me home and made me a plate and I sat at the table with them.

Dad picked at his plate then looked up at me. "So, what's going on" Dad asked as he put his spoon down. He cleaned his mouth with a paper towel as he looked directly at me. I felt like a little child all over again and felt tense as if I were in trouble. My mind was racing and wanted to just find a way out but I knew I couldn't leave without telling them what's been going on wit my life.

Pushing the food around on my plate gave him a sign that there was something othering me. He cleared his throat causing me to jolt and say "N- nothing"

I watched as he studying my facial expressions. He was good at that. He crossed his arms as he waited for a real reply. "Honey, just let him be." My mom being the voice of reason as always "We haven't seen him in weeks. Let's just have a wonderful dinner and then Chad can tell us all about his college classes" My dear mother always tries to reason to save me from my father. My dad was one of those dads that is very strict and make sure I do my school work. My dad works some engineering job while mom stays home mostly unless she's doing shopping.

He side eyes my mother for a moment then turns his attention back to me. "How's college anyway?" He asked, ignoring mom in the process. He went back to eating.

I gulped hard but silently. I played with my food and wasn't sure how to answer. "It's good…." My voice trailed off.

"Any new lady friends you want to bring over for Thanksgiving soon?" Mom teased me and I felt sick to my stomach. Why was I feeling this way. "Chad, sweetheart, you look sick. Do you need to lay down?" Her concerned voice made me feel a bit better.

My dad got fed up by how mom was treating me. "All of that babying and for what?" Dad snorted with annoyance. "You're supposed to start a family at this age. Instead, you are out partying and doing god knows what." That gave me the energy to pull out my phone, open it and had a picture of Carla on the screen. I slid my phone towards him and mom across the table. Mom adjusted her glasses. She looked at her then at me.

"Who's this pretty little girl" She analyzed it some more then looked at me. "C- Chad who is that?" That made my father raise his eyebrow. He then took my phone from mom and saw Carla photo. I guess Carla looked so much like me that they instantly knew she was mine. And her holding the basketball in the photo didn't make it any better.

"Explanation now" He demanded as he slid my phone back to me. I brushed through my curls and took a deep breath.

"That little girl is your granddaughter, and I am a father. I recently found out I had a child a few weeks back. A one-night stand turned into that. I apologize for being a disappointment, but I am owning up to what I have done" My mom began to sob silently dad just stood up and paced around for a few. I knew I was in deep shit but at the end of the day I want to man up.

It was silent as my mom wiped her tears as she began to calm down. She looked at dad and he put his hand on her shoulder. "Chad… I'm sorry we were so tough on you but now… you're a grown man with his own daughter. How old is she?" I was a bit surprised that they were okay with this.

I rubbed the back of my neck and gave an uncomfortable chuckle. "Well for one her name is Carla Chadlee Danforth; she loves basketball like me and her mouth a bit too sassy. She got that from her momma. As for her age she 5."

I watched as they tried to process everything that was told to them. This was still all new to me. They had a long talk to me about now is the best time to get to know Carla before she hates me more. I agreed. Now it's time for me to be in my child's life now or never. After having a heart to heart with my parents I met up with Troy at our favorite spot. Zeke was there as well.

"Ayee" Zeke spoke as we did our handshake. Troy was drinking.

"You might want to go easy on that. You don't want to be in a situation like mine" I teased as I sat down.

He stuck up his middle finger as he took a shot. "I know when to put on a condom"

I shrugged. "So, what's new Zeke" I turned my attention over to him. He smirked and handed me a picture. It was an ultrasound. "Whoa, you and Taylor?" He nodded "congratulations man!"

"Little man will be born around next year"

"Ah man, I wish you nothing but the best"

"How's fatherhood" He put the picture away.

"Hard. I had to scold her earlier because she was coming out her mouth. She got that from Sharpay side."

He nodded. "How are things between you and her anyway"

I rubbed the back of my head deeply exhaled. "That's complicated. I just hope I can still be there for her."

"Why not pay child support and just be done" Troy chimes in. I shot him a glare. How dare he suggest something like that.

"No, I want to be there for my daughter" As if on cue I get a text from Sharpay to come over. "I must go. The mother of my child needs me" I got up and Troy scoffed.

"Now you're playing house husband. Man, what about your basketball career" He wasn't wrong. Any day now and I'll be signed on to be with the Lakers.

"Listen, I'll keep you guys up to date on what I decide" I walk out the door and make my way to Sharpay's place. I hope this isn't bad news or anything.

Sharpay

As I wait for Chad to come back, I do a little cleaning up. Ryan news about sleeping with Gabriella really shocked me because I wasn't expecting that. Yes, I knew he had had crushing on her for years, but this was the first time he went through with it. I just really hope he wore protection. I don't want him getting in trouble.

I made sure that Carla was asleep before her father arrived. After earlier events I don't need her mouthing off. I got a text from Chad saying he was here. I quickly made my way to the door and opened it. "Hey good looking" He smirked, and I rolled my eyes and let him in. "So, what is it you wanted to talk to me about" He walked over to the couch and took a seat. Man, he was so attractive, but I had to stay focused.

"I wanted to apologize for Carla's behavior earlier. She's been mouthy lately and I don't really condone that from her" I sat right next to him

He shrugged and said "It's no big deal. She was used to you being the head boss but now that I am here, she has no choice but to listen. I also wanted to ask you a question"

What was he going to ask me? My heart raced as he said that. "Go on…" We made eye contact

"Her middle name. Are you serious?" He let out a playful laugh and my breathing relaxed "Chadlee? Of all names Shar, you chose my name. It's cute and thoughtful but really" I was now embarrassed. He's right I could've came up with something better.

I pouted. "Dude, I was in labor, and I didn't really think after she came. It wasn't easy" That's when it got a bit more serious, and he stopped laughing. "I really did want to call you and tell you, but I was afraid. Afraid you'll hate me" I admitted

He placed his hair in a bun. God he was fine. "I know it must-have been hard, and I can't make up for lost times but as I said I before I am here to stay. You cannot get rid of me" His finger was under my chin. Why was he able to make my knees? He leans in. We shared a passionate kiss.

"Whoa!" We heard Ryan and we pulled apart quickly. My face was flushed, and he smirked. "You just can't get enough of him" He teased

"Buzz off Ry" My moment was ruined.

He looked a bit worried "Honestly sorry. I didn't mean to walk in" He seemed defeated. I brushed it off. He walked over to the kitchen, and I was left with Chad again. He pulled out a condom for once and I lowered my eyes with a bit of annoyance. I grabbed his arm and led him up to my room and locked the door. I just can't get enough of him. At this point we are parents with benefits. We went a few rounds before cuddling up in bed. "Why do you do this to me" I spoke softly. My head was on his chest.

He ran his fingers softly through my hair. "I should be asking you that" He kissed my forehead.

"Do you want to give this a shot?" I questioned him. He looked down at me. I sat up and looked at him. He seemed confused at what I said. "You can say no whenever"

He blinked his eyes a few times. He holds my hand and gives me a small smile. "Worth a shot, right? You are the mother of my child after all, and I don't want to be one of those absent parents" That made me happy to hear. I cuddled him close, and we fell asleep together.

The next morning was different. I woke up in an empty bed. Chad was not here. I put on my robe and made my way to Carla's room to wake her up. I knocked on the door and then opened it. My princess was sleeping soundly. I opened the covers to her window, and I heard her shuffle on her bed. "Mom?" She slowly sat up in bed.

"Morning sweetheart, tine to get up." I walked over to her bedside. Her hair was a bit messy.

I heard her groan and laid back down. "Five more minutes" She covered herself with her blanket.

I pouted and let her take her five minutes. I walked out of her room and went to the kitchen. To my surprise Chad was there making breakfast. "Morning?" I smelled coffee. Made my way over to his side and saw that he was making a big breakfast.

"Good morning. Just wanted to make breakfast before I head off to practice" He spoke as he began to plate everything. He placed the food on the table and walked over to me. That was generous of him. I can't believe we are dating. This was unreal. We kissed and we talked a bit about this relationship and how it's going to work it out. Ryan came into the kitchen, and he seemed annoyed that Chad was still here. He's lucky I didn't tell him that he had sex with his best friend's wife.

"Sharpay, may I have a word with you?" He stood there with his arms crossed.

Chad looked at me and petted my head. "I must get going anyway. I'll call you later" He grabbed his jacket and left. Once I heard the front door closed, I turned my attention towards Ryan.

"He's here a lot more often. And I caught you two kissing last night. Is there something you want to tell me?" He crossed his arms.

I couldn't hide anything from him. I had him sit at the table and I sat across from him. "Well to begin we had sex again"

He rolled his eyes. "As if I don't know. I heard you two." I began to blush and he mocked me in bed "Oh yea, right there. Chaaaddd" My face was now super red. I thought we closed the door. I could just die.

"Oh my god! You heard all of that?!" I was embarrassed. My twin heard me get down.

"Not all of it just those parts, then I went to my room and read the Bible." Knowing he was joking at that last part but still. That was rude yet funny.

I waved my arms around as I tried to get back on topic. "Chad and I are dating" I wanted to be straight forward with it. He shrugged.

He placed his hands along mine. "After last night how could ya not date, plus it was bound to happen." He chuckled. "I am glad to see ya working things out. I just want you two to be happy" I know he meant that.

"How are you and Gabriella?" He chuckled when I questioned him. He knew this was coming.

"We are talking on the down low. Her and Troy aren't looking so good but it's not because of me. She's been thinking of ending it with him"

I was surprised by the information that I didn't see Carla walk in the kitchen. She was dressed up in her uniform. After yesterday I am sure she is better. "Good morning" I was cheerful as I can be.

"Hmph." She walked past me and hugged Ryan. "Uncle Ryan can you drive me to school today" Was she still mad that Chad spoke to her that way? Ryan looked at her then at me. I shrugged as I got up. I wasn't going to deal with this. I poured myself some coffee and watched them leave together. I tried to take a sip but when I did, I instantly felt sick. I ran to the bathroom to throw up. My stomach felt queasy. Then it hit me, I was supposed to take a pregnancy test after our conversation, but I just ended up in bed with him last night.

I made my way over to my bedroom, pulled out my box from the bottom of my closet and went back to the bathroom. I opened the box, and it had pregnancy test in there. I always buy a new one every year when the other one expires. I do as the directions are given on the paper and now I am waiting for the results. This was the longest five minutes of my life once again.
