"Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Evelyn, happy birthday to you!" Everyone sang for the ten-year-old.

The little girl smiled at everyone cheering her. She looked down at her cake, a huge cake that was decorated just the way she wanted. Her birthday had been by far amazing and having all her friends and family to help her celebrate it just made it better. Plus she got the party she had always wanted.

"Make a wish, princess." Troy whispered in her ears.

"I already got my wish daddy." She looked up at him, a small smile on her face.

"Wish for something else." Troy gave his daughter a soft kiss on the head. "It doesn't always have to be for you." He said softly.

Evelyn nodded and looked down at her cake before closing her eyes, making her wish, and blowing out the candles. She made a simple wish. Just to have the time of her life from now on. The main wish she had came true the minute her parents accepted her in their lives. The second one came true when the three of them moved into this house. Or maybe it was when her mom never brought up the idea of going back to her house?

"Oh happy birthday, honey!" Sharpay hugged her daughter warmly. "I love you so much!" She cried in the little one's ear. "Remember that." She quickly added before letting go of the birthday girl.

Troy shot her a playful glare. "Come on, let her cut the cake." He wrapped his arms around his wife. "She knows you love her babe." He whispered. "You only say it every hour."

Sharpay giggled, placing her arms on top of Troy's. Oh how things have changed in their lives, and it kept on getting better as time went on. Finally they both got the family they wanted and everything seemed perfect.

As everyone was handed their piece of cake, Troy and Sharpay chatted with their friends. Enjoying the conversation they were in. It was just like a little high school reunion, with everyone together—only now they were watching their kids play together.

"She's so beautiful, Sharpay." Taylor beamed, her eyes focused on the little blonde girl giggling with some friends.

Sharpay smiled.

"I just feel so bad. I missed out on my own daughter for nine years." Her smile faded as she thought of how it would have been if she and Troy had remained together all those years.

Taylor shook her head and looked at her friend.

"You have her now don't you?" She questioned. "And you're happy. Let it go."

Sharpay nodded.

If only it was really that easy. It wasn't. She regretted everything she had done in the past. She could have been a good parent and kept her own flesh—and yet she didn't. She threw her daughter away—she was her responsibility and she refused to accept it. Now she knew that there will always be that hole in her heart and she wished she could turn time back.

Taylor excused herself to go chat with Gabriella and the others. Sharpay forced a cheerful smile as she made her way towards Troy, who was joking around with the guys—that wasn't new news.

"Hey there." Troy smiled as she approached him. "Looks like this party is turning into some reunion as well, eh?" He smirked, wrapping his arms around her.

Sharpay giggled. "At least everyone is having fun." She whispered as they walked together towards Troy's parents.

…..

"Did you have a good birthday?" Troy asked his daughter as she sat up on her bed.

"Yes." She smiled brightly. "It was really fun. And I got a lot of cool presents." She giggled hugging her new teddy bear from her grandparents.

Troy chuckled and pulled the little girl in for a hug. "Happy Birthday honey." He kissed her forehead gently. "Don't grow up too fast." He chuckled. "I want you to still be my little girl for a while."

Evelyn giggled and fell back against the pillows supporting her. Her hair covered her face as she covered herself with the blanket.

Troy couldn't help but adore his daughter as she giggled playfully under the covers, trying to get comfortable. She was really something. He just wanted to hug her all the time and have her stay his little girl forever. Just the thought of Evelyn growing up scared him. He hadn't exactly had a lifetime with her; to him she was still a baby. Even though each day she was growing and growing.

"Don't grow up too fast, okay?" Troy chuckled as he tickled the ten-year-old through the light purple covers.

Evelyn's blonde head popped out as she let out one last giggle before sitting up on the bed once again.

"I'll always be your little girl." She smiled giving Troy a hug.

Troy wrapped his arms around the child tightly. He was glad to hear her say that.

"You know I'm sorry for everything I've said before, right?" He asked in a whisper against Evelyn's blonde hair.

Evelyn pulled away and smiled. "I told you, I forgive you. I love you daddy. Forget about it." She beamed.

Troy kissed her forehead, running his fingers through Evelyn's hair.

Sharpay walked into the room, her hair hanging loose.

"Am I missing the fun?" She questioned sitting next to Troy.

He gave her a soft kiss on the side of her head.

"Nah." He shook his head. "Just tucking in munchkin here." He spoke, as Evelyn crawled deep under the covers. "Get some rest." He gave another kiss on the forehead.

"Night." Evelyn smiled.

"Sweet dreams honey, and happy birthday." Sharpay kissed her daughter softly on the cheeks.

Troy turned the lights off as he and Sharpay made it out of the room and into their bedroom together.

"You, since she's walked back into my life…." Sharpay started as she entered the master bedroom with Troy following her. "I've seen the missing light back in her eyes." She explained.

Troy nodded in agreement.

"I think the three of us finally got what we all wanted." He whispered.

Sharpay smiled, nodding her head.

"Good night, babe."

It's short.

It's the end.

Sorry. I got caught up with school.
