Hey. I put a picture of what Kayleigh looks like in my profile...it's from this chapter when she is 6 months old. I think it is a perfect combo of both Zac and Vanessa...

Enjoy this chapter and I think after this one I am going to make a sequel to it or something. This chapter has flashbacks of from when Kayleigh was brought home and other milestones she had in her first 6 months of life.

Let me know what you think as your opinions are always appreciated!!

(Zac's POV)

I was very anxious to get home from the gym this morning. The reason why is because today Kayleigh turns 6-months old. I can't believe how time flew by in these last 6 months. Her first Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, St. Patty's Day and Easter are all such a vivid memory in my mind still. As I was leaving the gym with Jared the paparazzi swarmed us almost to the point where we couldn't get to our cars.

After 5 minutes of pushing our way out of the sea of flashes we made our way back to my car and headed to our apartment. I felt sadness as we passed Vanessa's house, it hurt me to know that Kayleigh wouldn't have as strong of a relationship with her V's parents as she would with mine. I remembered the day when Gina came to my house and tried to fix things with Vanessa, Kayleigh was 2 months old.

Vanessa and I where lying on the couch watching High School Musical 2. We where cuddled up under a blanket while Kayleigh was asleep in her room. All the sudden we heard a knock on the door and Vanessa got up to answer it. The second she opened the door and noticed it was her mom her day was tuned upside down.

"Vanessa...this is how I meet my grand baby." Gina whispered as she held up the latest issue of People magazine which had the first pictures published of Kayleigh.

Vanessa looked at her as I still sat on the couch. Vanessa protested, "Mom, get away...not now." Gina ignored Vanessa's pleas and made her way into out apartment. "Mom, I said go away..." Vanessa said as she stopped her mom.

"Vanessa honey, please. I want to have a part in her life, I do. I'm sorry for what I said but I was very upset at the time." Gina sympathetically said.

" Oh, I'm sorry." Vanessa said sarcastically, "Mom, you can't just come fix something that was done by saying your sorry. I heard the words that came out of your mouth and I don't think that I will EVER forgive you for saying them."

"Ever..." Gina whispered.

"Only time will tell, but for now I can't forgive you." Vanessa stated as she showed her mom the way out.

On her way out Gina asked, "Can I just see her, in person, really quick?" Vanessa rolled her eyes as she told me to go and get Kayleigh. I did as I was told and brought Kay to Vanessa.

"Here, this is Kayleigh." Vanessa said as she held the sleeping baby.

"Precious... Vanessa she is beautiful." Gina said as she reached her hand out to touch Kayleigh.

5 minutes later we where at our apartment and Jared and I made our way upstairs. Ashley was over to have 'girl' time with V while we where at the gym. Although Jared and I guessed that all 3 girls would be sleeping when we got home. Our predictions where wrong though, when we opened the door Vanessa was feeding Kayleigh and Ashley was on her phone talking to her agent.

Vanessa noticed us walk in and said, "Hey babe." I smiled, I loved it when she called me babe.

I walked over to her and kissed her and Kayleigh on the head. It was amazing how good Vanessa was with Kayleigh, so natural from the second we brought Kayleigh home.

It had been three days since Kayleigh was born and Vanessa and her where finally getting realised from the hospital. After signing many papers we where free to go home. I carefully strapped Kayleigh in her car seat and assisted Vanessa in the car. Once we got home I took Kay's car seat and we made our way upstairs, as a family for the first time.

Once inside Kayleigh started to whine and Vanessa calmly and all too naturally soothed her until she stopped crying. It amazed to the point where I doubted I could ever be that great of a parent, but then V reassured me.

"Zacy, you look worried." Vanessa said as she placed Kayleigh in her car seat again and walked over to me.

I paused and then admitted, "Well...it just looks like it came so naturally to you and I don't; feel that with me, I'm scared Ness. What if I mess up?"

"Zac, I've seen you with kids, your amazing. Maybe it came a little easier for me but it normally comes for the mom first because they feel a different bond. I mean hello I just carried a kid in my stomach for nearly 9 months, I think I've had a tiny bit of practice." I laughed and was glad Vanessa reassured me.

"So, any plans for Kay's big day?" I asked Vanessa.

She looked at me puzzled and said, "Umm, not that I know of. What's the occasion?"

"Ness, Kayleigh's 6 months old today!" I excitedly told her.

She looked at me and sweetly said, "Baby...today is the 28th and Kayleigh was born on the 29th, tomorrow is the 6 month date."

Ashley burst into laughter and said, "Totally an Efron move right there." Jared came over to me and patted me on the back.

"It's ok man, I lose track of time sometimes too, it's a guy thing."

Vanessa rolled her eyes as she walked over and placed Kayleigh on her play mat on the floor, "Hun, what are we going to do with you?"

I managed to say, "Kiss me."

She laughed and came over to me, "That might work." And with that our lips where interlocked for a few seconds until V pulled away, "Ok, all better now." Vanessa said.

An hour later Kayleigh was down for her mid-morning nap and Vanessa and I where watching TV.

"Do you remember Christmas morning?" Vanessa asked me as I nodded my head in reply. Oh yes, I remember Christmas morning, and it certainly was not the best Christmas morning I'd ever had.

I heard crying and then some more crying. It was 2:00 in the morning and I was tired of getting up in the middle of the night. I really had nothing to complain about though as Nessa got Kayleigh most nights and ordered me to stay in bed.

I rolled over and saw Vanessa stir in her sleep as she started to get out of bed. "Babe..."she whispered while she tapped me on the shoulder. I opened my eyes and saw a pale looking Vanessa in front of me and told her that I would go get Kayleigh.

Throughout the morning Vanessa continued to feel horrible and I felt bad for her because Christmas was her favorite holiday. I didn't know what was the matter with her, maybe it was the fact that she was not going to see her Family on Christmas or the fact that she was over exhausted from the baby. Whatever it was that was not a good Christmas morning.

I cringed at the mention of it, "Yeah."

She nuzzled my neck and said, "Good, because I don't." I laughed at what she said as I wrapped my arms tightly around her. A couple moments later we heard a cry, Kayleigh's cry.

I know the ending sucked, please don't hate me. I hoped you enjoyed this story and liked reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it for you all!! A Sequel will be out shortly, probably within a few days, whenever I come up with some ideas.

THANKS AND PLEASE COMMENT!!
