11. The Text

Vanessa walked back and forth not knowing how to tell Zac. It had been over a month since she last saw him. How was he? What was he doing right now? She thought to herself, trying to hide the thought, what if he had moved on? Vanessa thought about giving him a phone call, but wasn't sure if it would be a good thing. What if he actually had moved on, found someone else? And then his ex was suddenly calling. Probably not the best thing she thought to herself. She wasn't sure if she could bear to hear Zac's voice either, it would just make her cry. She still loved him with all her life, and if he had found someone else if would break her heart. So she couldn't call him, she really couldn't. A letter would take too long to get to him, so she decided to text him.

Zac there's no easy way to tell you this. Being away for a month has actually helped a lot, I actually feel much happier. I miss everybody especially you, though you might not miss me. Well that's not what I wanted to tell you, something much bigger has happened, and you're a huge part of it. I'm pregnant.. Zac. I think you deserved at least to get a call from me, but I just couldn't the though of you might having another girl was killing me, and so I just couldn't stand hearing your voice. I don't know what you'll do about the fact that you're becoming a father; I just wanted you to know I'm keeping it, no matter what. Of course I would love, and I really prey that you'll be apart of both of our life, but if you don't I understand it's totally up to you. I'm just happy that I have something of you and me growing inside of me. Something we created, together. It's an amazing feeling, and I can feel you with me all the time. I love you Zac more than you know.

Vanessa read it through one more time and pressed the send button, kinda worried for Zac's reaction. Tears were actually falling from her eyes, afraid of how he was going to react.

About an hour later Vanessa had fallen asleep and didn't notice when someone knocked on the door, but since the door wasn't locked the person just walked in. Vanessa's eyes were all puppy and red too, she had been crying herself to sleep, afraid of Zac's reaction, but still she was anxious to know what he thought so as she laid so peaceful in the couch, she was still holding her blackberry in her right hand.

The person slowly walked over to her and watched her sleep. He placed a kiss on her forehead, and waited for some response. He covered her with a blanket not wanting her to be cold. This was his V, no one else's and she was carrying his child. Vanessa slowly opened her eyes, everything was blurry, she could see this person standing in front of her and was about to scream, but when she was met by two piercing blue eyes, that she knew and loved. All she did was smile.

"You cried yourself to sleep?" he asked concerned.

"I'm sorry; the thought of losing you just hurt so much" she told him, as she looked him straight in the eyes.

Zac smiled, "You silly girl, thinking you would ever get rid of me" he took her in his arms, and Vanessa hadn't felt more alive in the last month, than she did right now in Zac's arms. New tears felt from her eyes and Zac noticed.

"Baby why are you crying?" he wiped away her tears.

"I just missed you" she said with a little smile.

He kissed her head, "Well if you've missed me, then you should've seen me, I've been dying to see you again" he told her and she felt guilty.

"I'm so sorry" she told him. "It wasn't meant to go this way"

"It's okay Ness, I still love you. I don't get why you would even think I had found someone else"

"Because of what I did, I broke up with you"

"Yeah, but I would rather stay alone, than find someone else, who could never replace you anyway. I'm not leaving you Nessa, you won't lose me, I promise you that, I'm right here okay?"

Vanessa nodded and tugged her head in to his chest.

Zac placed a hand on Vanessa's belly and Vanessa looked up. "You really pregnant?"

"Yes Zac, we're gonna have a baby"

Zac smiled widely and kissed her, "God Vanessa I love you so much"

"I love you too"

"Zac can you do me a favor?"

"Anything"

"Take me to the beach.."
