Chapter 2: 4 Years On

"Mommy! Mommy!" Sharpay woke up to the sound of shrieking.

"Mommy!" A pair of hands shook her head.

"What's wrong?" Sharpay asked, she looked down to a pair of blue eyes.

"I can't find my teddy bear!" the eyes looked sad.

"Well what time is it?" Sharpay asked herself. She looked at the clock. 8.45. "Damn, I overslept"

"Mommy? What are you doing?" The blue eyes looked up to the blonde.

"Sweetie, get changed and go get your sister. Come down for breakfast." Sharpay said.

Sharpay looked at a picture on her table. It was a picture of everyone, 4 years ago. She sighed and walked away.

3 hours later

Sharpay was sitting in her Range Rover. There was 2 giggling voices in the back.

Sharpay looked at a sign 'Alburquerque 1m'

Only a few more minutes and she'd be setting foot in her hometown.

She drived longer and soon began to recognise places.

She drove longer until she recognised one place in particular.

"Okay, wait in here for a second" She told two pairs of blue eyes.

She walked up to the door, nervously. Her hand trembled as she rung the door bell.

She heard footsteps and then the door handle clicked. It opened, there stood Troy Bolton.

"Hey- Sharpay?" He asked, his eyes widened in shock.

"Troy..." Sharpay slowly said.

"Sharpay?" Troy asked. "Where have you been?"

"Troy...it's a long story" Sharpay replied.

"Come inside-"

"No, I can't. I have to tell you something, that i should've told you a long time ago" Sharpay said.

"I'm listening"

"Just before you proposed to me, remember I wanted to tell you something..." Sharpay started.

"Yeah..." Troy looked confused.

"Well the thing I wanted to tell you was that I was pregnant" Sharpay sighed.

Troy fell silent. He almost looked as if he was petrified. He stepped back and closed the door. Sharpay sighed, she tried. She walked back to her car.

She sat in her car.

"Mommy, who was that man?" One of the voices asked.

"That was...a friend" Sharpay was just about to place the key in.

"Sharpay!" Sharpay looked to her left, she saw Troy running to the car.

"At least stay for while" He panted.

Sharpay stepped out of the car. "Do you really want me to stay?"

"Yes, I do. I mean it's been four years! I've missed you" Troy looked at her.

"If you really want me to stay, you have to let my daughters stay too" Sharpay opened the back passenger door.

Troy looked inside. Two pairs of blue eyes looked back at him. He looked flabbergasted.

Sharpay unbuckled their booster seats and they got out.

"Who are they?"

"They're my- our daughters" Sharpay replied. "this is Megan and this is Hayden"

The girls looked very shy, they stood behind Sharpay. "Um how are you?" Troy bent down to their level.

The girls mumbled and held onto Sharpay's legs.

"I'll just going inside and..."

"Yeah you do that" Sharpay watched him go inside. She sighed, turned around and looked down at the twins.

"Mommy...who was that guy?" Megan asked.

"He's just a friend that I used to know" Sharpay told her.

"But you said 'our daughters'? What does that mean?" Hayden asked.

"I'll tell you later. Now, you got to talk to Mommy's friend, okay?" Sharpay asked her girls.

"Okay, Mommy" Both girls said in unison.

They walked into Troy's home. "Your parents don't live here?"

"No. They bought another place a few streets away" Troy answered. "So you guys want anything to drink or eat?"

"No thanks Troy, I don't think the girls want anything either" The two looked down on the twins, who were playing with their Barbie Princess dolls on the carpet.

"I think we should talk" Sharpay added. She and Troy walked into the kitchen, leaving the small twins in the living room. Sharpay sat on the stool next to the counter. "So where have you been?" Troy asked, leaning against the counter.

"Well when I found about you and whatshername, I phoned my mom. She was in LA at the time. I went to stay with her. She helped me bring up the girls. I just thought it would be really harsh, if I didn't tell you and if you didn't get to see them" Sharpay mumbled, sadly. Troy smirked. "Well I'm glad you came back and told me about them." Sharpay smiled, she went up to him and hugged him. "I'm glad you understand."
The eldest out of the twins, Hayden, was standing by the door. "Hey Megan" She whispered to her sister. Megan didn't look up as she was combing her dolls hair.

"Megan!"

"What?" Megan looked over to her sister. Dropping her doll and walked over to her sister.

"Come here" The twins looked over at their mother hugging her friend. "Who's that guy?" Megan asked Hayden.

"I dunno. But I'm thinking he's not a friend" Hayden, smartly for her age replied.

"Oh..." Megan looked confused.

"I mean when Mommy told us he was a "friend", I don't think he really is a "friend"" Hayden told her sister whilst pulling up quoting fingers.

"What are you doing with your fingers?"

"I dunno, Mommy does it sometimes. Quick, Mommy is coming" The twins quickly sat by their Barbie dolls. Sharpay and Troy walked into the room. "Uh Hayden, Megan...we're gonna be staying here for a few days" Sharpay bent down and told them. The two girls eyed Troy sharply. "Okay, Mommy" Hayden answered for both twins.

"Troy, do you have any spare rooms?" Sharpay asked.

"Yeah, there are three. Choose any of them" Troy replied, with his hands in his pockets. Sharpay smiled. "I just need to get their bags from the car"

It was 8.30pm. Troy had ordered a takeaway. Sharpay and Troy were still eating at the kitchen table. Sharpay looked over to the living room. The twins had fallen asleep together on the couch. "I should take them upstairs" Sharpay said, getting up.

"Okay" Troy nodded, finishing his food. He watched Sharpay pick one of them up, whilst the other slowly walked next to her. Sharpay took the twins into the spare room, "Mommy?" Megan murmured, as she lay down on the bed, next to her sister.

"Who is that man?" Megan looked up to her mother.

"Sweetie, he's a friend I went to school with" Sharpay truthfully but also half lied. "You should get to sleep" Sharpay kissed their foreheads and left the room. As she came back downstairs, she saw Troy sitting on the couch. "Did they get to sleep?" Troy asked.

"Yeah" Sharpay sat down next to him. "Thanks for letting us stay"

"No Problem" Troy fiddling with a strand of his hair.

"I'm really sorry Troy"

"For what?"

"I mean it looks like you've been on your own for ages, and well did you really kiss her?" Sharpay asked, looking into his gorgeous blue eyes, desperate for the truth.

"To be honest Shar, she came onto me, I was just in my room waiting for you" Troy looked down.

Sharpay fidgeted with the cushions. "I believe you enough to say that..."

"What?"

"I still Love you"
