The next morning, Vanessa opened her eyes and remembered that she was in the hospital. She then felt another body next to her and saw that Zac was asleep. Vanessa looked at her sleeping husband and smiled. He loved her so much that he would put his upcoming movie on hold just to be with her. She moved the hair that was in front of her husband's eyes and felt him start to wake up. Zac opened his eyes slowly and put his hand on Vanessa's bump.
"How are you feeling?" Zac asked.
"Fine, he is kicking" Vanessa said as she snuggled closer to Zac.
Zac smiled and started to massage Vanessa's stomach. He then kissed Vanessa's stomach and then her lips.
"I love you" Vanessa said softly.
"I love you too" Zac said kissing her head.
Vanessa looked around the room.
"Where's Troy?" Vanessa asked.
"Hey, relax. Your mother took him home" Zac said soothingly.
"Sorry" Vanessa said sighing as she snuggled back into Zac's chest.
"Dr. Peter said you can come home today" Zac said rubbing her back.
"Mmm..good" Vanessa said with her eyes closed.
There was a knock on the door and Dr. Peter opened the door. He smiled and shook Zac's hand.
"How are you feeling, Vanessa?" Dr. Peter asked as he washed his hands.
"Fine, he is kicking" Vanessa said putting her hand on her bump.
"Let's take a look" Dr. Peter said as he turned on the ultrasound machine.
Dr. Peter raised Vanessa's hospital gown and squeezed gel onto her stomach. Dr. Peter then moved the wand across Vanessa's stomach.
"He looks good. So I want you to be on bed rest until the end of your term because he needs to be relaxed and so do you" Dr. Peter said as she wiped the gel off of Vanessa's stomach.
"Okay" Vanessa said.
Dr. Peter left the room. Zac got off the hospital bed and helped Vanessa up. Vanessa then walked to the bathroom and got dressed. She came out and smiled. Zac looked at Vanessa and walked up to her and kissed her lips.
"I love you so much" Zac said wrapping his arms around her and put his free hand on her face.
"I love you too" Vanessa said as she put her hand on top of his .
A nurse came into the room with a wheelchair and Vanessa sat in it carefully. The nurse wheeled Vanessa out to the parking lot. Zac helped Vanessa get out of the wheelchair and into the car. He thanked the nurse and went to the driver's side and got in. Zac started the car and looked at Vanessa. He put his hand on top of hers as he drove back to the house. Zac turned off the car and looked at Vanessa and smiled.
"Someone is going to be very excited to see you" Zac said as he helped Vanessa get out of the car.
"I know. I missed Troy so much" Vanessa said as they walked to the front door hand in hand.
Zac opened the door and Vanessa walked in. She saw Stella come to the door.
"Hey, how are you feeling?" Stella asked as she hugged her sister.
"I feel fine" Vanessa said.
"Mommy!" Troy screeched.
Vanessa smiled. She kneeled down as Troy ran into her arms. Vanessa hugged Troy and released her tears. She caressed his head and pulled away to look at his face.
"I missed you" Vanessa said kissing her son's head.
"I missed you too" Troy said.
"Bud, we need to take mommy upstairs and get her into bed" Zac told his son.
Vanessa stood up and Troy took his mother's hand as they walked upstairs. The little family went upstairs and into the master bedroom.
"Go put on some comfortable clothes babe" Zac said.
Vanessa walked into their closet and picked out a pair of sweats and a tank top that still fit her pregnant frame. She came out of the closet and saw Zac taking the layered sheets off the bed so Vanessa could get into it. Vanessa walked over to the bed and kissed Zac's back and wrapped her arms around his torso. She then got into bed. Zac put the covers over Vanessa's body and leaned down so that he was a couple inches away from his wife's face. He kissed Vanessa's lips slowly and passionately. Vanessa put her hand on Zac's face and deepend the kiss. She then pulled away and smiled.
"Get some rest Van. I will be downstairs if you need me" Zac said.
"Okay" Vanessa said.
Zac left the room and went downstairs and saw Stella playing cars with Troy. He smiled.
"Hey bud" Zac said.
Troy looked up and smiled. He then ran to his father and jumped into his arms. Zac held Troy in his arms and walked to the couch and sat down.
"Where's mommy?" Troy asked.
"Mommy is upstairs and in bed. The baby got upset so mommy has to stay in bed for a while" Zac said moving the hair out of his son's face.
"Is she going to be in there forever?" Troy asked as he put his head on Zac's shoulder.
"No Troy. She is going to be in bed until the baby comes. Then she can do anything she wants to" Zac said trying to explain bed rest to his four year old son.
"Oh" Troy said.
Zac held his son in his arms and rubbed his back. Troy fell asleep in his father's arms. Zac saw this and stood up with Troy and walked to his room. He set Troy on his bed. Zac kissed Troy's head and walked out of the room.
"Is he finally asleep?" Stella asked.
"Yeah he is" Zac said walking into the kitchen.
Stella followed Zac into the kitchen.
"He was worried the whole time you were gone. He thought that Van was really sick" Stella said.
"Aw man. I really want to explain what happened, but telling a four year old that his mother had a false alarm is not as easy as it sounds" Zac said rubbing his face.
"I know Zac. Just be there for him more. If he asks then you can decide what to do" Stella advised.
"Thanks Stella. You are the best sister-in-law that anyone could ever ask for" Zac said hugging Stella.
"Hey, you are my family. I have to look out for you. Just relax and don't worry about anything. I have to go home and see how Brianna is doing. I will call later and see how Van is " Stella said.
"Okay, thanks Stella" Zac said opening the front door.
Stella walked to her car and drove away. Zac closed the door and sighed. He heard footsteps and turned around and saw Troy waiting for him.
"Hey bud, did you have a nice nap?" Zac asked as he picked up his son.
"Yeah" Troy said.
"Do you want to go see what mommy is doing? I am sure she will be happy to see you" Zac said.
"Okay" Troy said.
Zac carried Troy upstairs and walked into the master bedroom.
"Hi baby" Vanessa said as Troy crawled onto the bed.
"Hi" Troy said snuggling into Vanessa's side.
"Stella just left" Zac said.
"Oh" Vanessa said.
"She said she would call you later and make sure you were okay" Zac said.
"Okay" Vanessa said.
The rest of the day, Vanessa, Zac, and Troy watched movies in the master bedroom. They couldn't wait until the new addition would arrive.
