Chapter 1

March 10, 2008

A very sleepy Vanessa Hudgens woke up to the annoying beep of her alarm clock. 8:30 ..ughh she thought. She sat up and stretched her weak arms, while the California sun was shining through her curtains, urging her to start her day.

Her eyelids were still quite heavy as she forced them to stay open. Vanessa had just finished filming "Bandslam" in Texas a week ago and was still very much tired.

She was about to give in and fall asleep until she heard a very faint cry from across the room. Samantha she thought and smiled at the name.

Samantha Hope Efron was Born January 1st, 2008 to Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens. Although Zac and Vanessa weren't married and were still young, it didn't stop them from having the child.

They had been going through some very difficult situations in the past several months. They first found out about their child right when HSM 2 had finished and Vanessa's baby bump started to show while promoting the movie. This included press conferences, tv appeaarances, interviews, etc. The press became suspicious and commented about the small, but visible bump, but it never got out of hand. It wasn't until August where the media really went crazy. Vanessa and Zac decided to confirm in an interview that they were expecting, rather than the media finding out by themselves. Constant questions and criticisms were said and Zac and Vanessa were often frustrated and annoyed. But this frenzy became worse when Vanessa's photo scandal broke out. She layed low for awhile while Zac was in Australia promoting "Hairspray." She waited until it died down but to both of their surprises, this expected baby became America's biggest news. Plenty of people were in favor of the "Zanessa baby" and supported them. Almost every entertainment show had a segment on the event and when Sam, her nickname, was born, America went wild. They wanted pictures, info, anything they could get their hands on.

But in the hospital, the only people that went crazy were Zac, Vanessa, their families, and the HSM cast. After several grueling hours of labor, the baby was finally born.

Sam's birth was the first time Zac cried in a very long time. He couldn't believe that this beautiful child was his very own. Sam became his world and he loved Vanessa a million times more for giving him this baby. The cast became a lot closer to each other since the birth. Ashley had the honor of being godmother and Corbin became the godfather. Zac and Vanessa's parents were insanely happy that they were finally grandparents.

Everyone in the hospital room shed tears that day, including the guys. Samantha was the bridge that brought these people even closer to one another. Right then and there, they became a much closer family. That is what it was all about to them. Samantha was crowned the first HSM baby.

Vanessa got out of bed and walked across the room to the crib. She wanted to keep the baby close by so she kept the crib in her room at her parent's house. Sam had her own room at Zac's apartment. Vanessa would usually stay there, but since he was filming "Me and Orson Welles" in London, she decided to stay at her parent's house.

"Hey baby girl," Vanessa said as she carried her out of the crib."Ready to go to Utah? We're gonna see daddy soon," she said as she kissed her on the cheek. Samantha had the most adorable features from her parents. She has short, dark brown, curly hair with the most gorgeous ocean blue eyes. A mix from both Zac and Vanessa.

Today was the day they leave for Salt Lake City to film the last HSM. Zac still hasn't finished filming in London, causing him to arrive a couple weeks later than the rest of the cast. This meant that his girlfriend and daughter won't be seeing him for another couple weeks.

Vanessa gave Sam a bath and dressed her. She asked her parents to watch Sam while she takes a shower and gets ready. Her shower took about 20 minutes. When she was finished, she quickly packed up the rest of the bags. When she was done, she called out to her father,"Dad? Can you help me bring the bags downstairs?!"

Downstairs, Greg Hudgens was playing with Sam with Vanessa's mom, Gina and her little sister Stella. When he heard his daughter's favor, he laughed,"Ok, I'm coming!" he replied. Vanessa was actually rather weak and it always made him laughed.

When they downstairs, breakfast was already waiting. They gathered around the table. Vanessa placed Sam in the playpen with her facorite stuffed animal. It was a giraffe that Zac gave her the day she was born. She never wanted to leave anywhere without it. Vanessa sat down at the table.

"So, Vanessa how you feeling about doing the third movie?" Gina asked while taking a sip from her coffee.

"I'm so excited! I can't wait to be with the cast and just hang out again, you know?" Vanessa replied with a huge grin while her mom nodded.

"Speaking of the cast, when is Zac arriving? I know that he is still filming," Greg asked curiously.

"Probably not until the end of March. I havent talk to him in days. He's been so busy, I didn't want to bother him," she answered sadly.

"Do you miss him?" Stella asked.

"Of course! We miss him...a lot," Vanessa said while looking at Samantha who was playing with the giraffe."I mean, we have only seen him for a week in the past two months. But his work is very important and he couldn't afford to give it up just to be here. This role, which is by the way 3/4 completed so it wasn't an option, could really do us good. He needs to be there. I know he is just doing what he has to do in order to support us."

"Being with your family is important too, you know?" Greg said slightly irritated about how Zac made his decisions. Greg would rather prefer him to stop making the movie snd take care of the baby. "Perhaps the most important thing."

"I know but I'll see him in a couple weeks so it doesn't really matter anymore." Vanessa said reassuringly.

"Vanessa, I know but-" He started but was cut off by Vanessa. "Dad, please just leave it"

"Ok" Greg said giving in and not wanting to push the subject. The rest of breakfast was quiet, nobody wanted to say something knowing that Vanessa was feeling down.

1 hour later.

The family got ready to leave for the airport. Greg and Gina moved the bags into the trunk while Vanessa strapped Sam into the car seat and Stella held onto V's purse and "baby bag." After a few minutes, they were off to the airport.

After spending 2 hours in the airport checking bags, the airline, passports, boarding passes, etc. an announcement was made,"All passengers boarding Flight 21 to Salt Lake City, please proceed to Gate C."

"That's us," Vanessa said while holding her daughter.

"We'll miss you sweetie," Gina said as she hugged her daughter and granddaughter.

"I'm sorry about earlier. I shouldn't have forced my wants into your relationship. I'm sorry,"Greg apologetically said to Vanessa.

"It's ok dad. You were just being a 'dad'" Vanessa said and smiled.

"Go and have fun. I'll miss you," he said as he hugged her and stroked Sam's cheek.

"Bring me back a souvenir," replied Stella with a big smile.

"Of course, don't I always?" V said and kissed the top of her sister's head.

"Tell the cast I said wazzzuupp?!?!" she said while impersonating the famous horror movie line. (the movie was Scream, for those who didn't know lol) Vanessa nodded happily. The family said their final goodbyes and V and Sam headed off to the gate.

Vanessa walked through the terminal with Samantha and boarded the plane. She took her seat with Sam in her arms. V sat there thinking to herself. She pulled out her wallet from her purse and opened it up. She smiled at the sight. It was a picture of her, Zac, and Samantha. Zac had his right arm around Vanessa's shoulders and his left arm holding Sam, while V had her left arm around Zac's waist and stroking Sam's cheek with her other hand.

That was her most treasured picture. All she wanted to do was be with the guy she loved and their amazing daughter.

"2 more weeks," she said and kissed Sam's forhead. "2 more weeks to go."

In London

"Ok! Take five everybody!" the director yelled.

Zac walked to his chair that was seated next to the director's. He yawned. He was so tired. All he wanted to do was sleep. In addition, he wasn't even happy. He couldn't help but think about V or Sam. He felt so awful that he had to get up and leave to film. He worried about them day and night, wondering how they were doing. However, he was glad that Gina was there with Vanessa to help out but he wanted to be the one to do that. He missed them so much.

He sat there thinking to himself. He then pulled out a familiar picture from his back pocket. It was the picture with him and his girls. His favorite picture, just like Vanessa's. He stared at it,completely clueless that V was staring at the same image.

He sighed."A couple more weeks to go," he said confidently and kissed the picture."A couple weeks." He slipped it back into his pocket and went back in front of the camera.
