The Show Must Go On

After the show

Nini's POV

We were getting photos with everyone when I had to go to the bathroom. I left and when I was returning I saw the Dean of the Youth Actors Conservatory.

"Hi Nini" She greeted me.

"Oh! Hi! I thought you left?" I questioned.

"Forgive me for leaving before the curtain. I had an important call to make" she explained "Here's my card. I'd like you to join us here at the Youth Actors Conservatory. I hope you think about it. You'll let me know?"

I looked over at Ricky smiling at Olivia, in his arms with Gina, Kourt, Carlos, Seb and Ash gushing over her and EJ and Big Red laughing at them. I looked at my mom's laughing at what Olivia was doing and at Mike and Lynne smiling, proudly at their son and grand daughter.

"I'm sorry... I won't be accepting" I smiled at the Dean.

"Are you sure? This is a one time offer" she asked "You have a unique voice and it's clear you want to be heard"

"My daughter and my boyfriend are here. Along with my best friends. This is right where I want to be" I smiled at her "Thanks for the offer though"

"Daughter?" She asked, confused.

"Yeah... Long story. Read 'The show must go on' by HighSchoolMusical01 on Wattpad and it explains everything" I smiled at her and walked off to my family.

"Everything ok?" Ricky asked, handing Olivia to me.

"Everything's fine" I smiled taking my daughter "Actually, the best"

"Here, I forgot to give you this earlier" he smiled at me, getting down on one knee "Nina Salzar-Roberts. I love you. You are the love of my life and the mother of my daughter. Since we are too young to get married, this is a promise ring. I hope to get married to you some day. So, please, accept this"

I cried while nodding "I would love to" I gave my daughter to Momma D and put the ring on. Ricky got up, off his knee and kissed me.

Everyone clapped and awwed.

"Ricky, I love you, but NEVER call me Nina again" I told my boyfriend.

"Noted" he laughed.

As we were walking out the Dean took me to the side.

"You made the right choice. This family is much more important than YAC. Good choice" she winked at me and walked off, after smiling at the baby in my arms.
