This is a one-shot on Zac and Vanessa after their break up so they are together and are married. Set at Christmas time.

Today is Christmas Eve and at the Efron residence the small family were getting ready for the celebrations ahead.

"Mommy!" The voice of 2 year old Freya Grace Efron called through the enormous 2 storey mansion.

"Mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy!" She cried as she ran over to her mother who was sitting on the couch.

"I'll call you back Ashley," 28 year old Vanessa Hudgens (now Efron) said to her best friend Ashley Tisdale on the phone. "Freya sweetie what's wrong?" She asked as she bent down to the 2 year olds height.

"I can't find Mr. Beawy!" The little girl sniffled, her crystal blue eyes inherited from her father tearing up as she referred to her brown bear she got when she was a baby.

"Aww sweetie it's ok, how about mommy help you find him and then we can make Christmas cookie ok?" She asked her daughter as she whipped away the tears falling onto her tanned cheek.

"Okay," Freya said enthusiastically and ran up to her room in front of Vanessa. Vanessa smiled as she watched her daughter run up the stairs to her room. Oh how much she was like Zac. Little Freya was a very happy and enthusiastic little girl as well as very beautiful. She had sandy brown hair and bright blue eyes like her father and tanned skin, long curly hair and a cute little smile/pout like her mother.

Vanessa climbed up the stairs to her daughter's room and found the sight she was expecting. Her little girl was turning her room inside out with a frustrated pout on her little face.

"Need some help sweetie," Vanessa said from the doorway already knowing wear the bear could be. Freya nodded her head desperately. Vanessa walked over to Freya's bed while Freya kept going through and messing up her draws. She sat down on the floor next to Freya's bed and looked under it to find the bear lying there under the bed.

"Freya," Vanessa said with a smile on her face. Freya turned around and faced her mom her blue eyes instantly growing at the sight in front of her

"Mr. Beawy!" She exclaimed as she ran over to Vanessa and sat on her lap while hugging her bear tightly. "Fank you mommy," Freya said sweetly hugging Vanessa tightly.

"That's ok sweetie…now come on let's go make those cookies before daddy gets home." Vanessa said as she stood up and picked Freya up resting her on her hip.

1 hour later

Vanessa and Freya had just finished cleaning up and were now just waiting for the cookies to finish cooking while wrapping up Christmas presents.

"Mommy?" Freya asked while looking at Vanessa.

"Yeah sweetie?" Vanessa said while looking up from the present she was currently wrapping.

"When is daddy coming home?" Freya asked innocently.

"Very, Very soon sweetie," She said with a smile on her face.

"How come he always has to goes away?" Freya said sadly.

"Because it's his job sweetie but don't worry because when he gets home we can decorate the tree together and we can have some hot chocolate and the cookies we made." She said as she stroked her daughter's cheek gently and kissed her forehead.

"Okay mommy," She said.

Later on that afternoon

Vanessa and Freya were cuddled up together watching T.V. on the couch.

"VANESSA! FREYA!" Zac's voice was heard through the house.

"DADDY!" Freya exclaimed as she ran towards Zac.

Zac smiled widely as he saw his daughter sprinting towards him. He dropped his bag on the floor and bent down and opened his arms wide so his daughter could run into them. His daughter ran into his awaiting arms and she wrapped her small arms around his neck tightly and he lifted her up so her legs were wrapped around his waist.

"I missed you so much sweetie," Zac said as he kissed her forehead lovingly with a smile still on his face.

"I missed you too daddy…please don't go away again," Freya asked as she kissed Zac sweetly on his cheek.

Vanessa stood there at the entrance watching the father daughter reunion with a smile on her face. Zac looked over his daughter's shoulder and looked at his wife standing there with a smile on her face. Zac put Freya down and walked over to Vanessa. He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her passionately.

"I love you," He mumbled against her lips.

"I love you too," She replied with a smile on her lips.

Later that night the small family had finished dinner and were now busy decorating the tree and wrapping up the last of the Christmas presents.

"Daddy can I put the star on the twee?" Freya asked Zac sweetly and with a cute little pout on her face.

"Of course sweetie," Zac lifted a giggly Freya up so she could place the star on the tree. Ever so carefully Freya delicately place the golden star on top of the tree and laughed harder as Zac threw her in the air slightly and caught her bridal style.

"Alright you two who want hot chocolate and cookies?" Vanessa said still laughing a little bit.

"YAY!" Freya exclaimed still giggling as Zac threw her gently onto the couch. Vanessa went into the kitchen shaking her head and smiling at the same time.

As she was putting the cookies onto a plate she felt two strong arms wrap around her waist and soft lips kiss along her shoulder and neck.

"Hey stranger," Vanessa said softly as she leaned into her husband's embrace.

"Hey beautiful," Zac said turning Vanessa around and kissing her passionately.

"Come on you lets go back to Freya before we get too into it," Vanessa said pulling back from the kiss and taking the tray of cookies while Zac took the glasses of milk.

For the rest of the night the atmosphere in the Efron house was very sweet and homely as the small family talked, laughed and shared memories on the cool Christmas Eve night.

Hey guys,
