Hey guys! So sorry it has been ages since I last updated, I haven't been very well, had to have an operation and have been in and out of the hospital I'm all better now though and ready to write more stories!
Enjoy!
Starla's POV
I sat in the hospital waiting room twiddling my thumbs.
It had been a good 45 minutes since we were told to leave the room in which Vanessa was situated. Something must have happened by now.
"Do you think everything's okay?" I asked David as I grabbed his hand looking for reassurance.
"I'm sure everything's fine honey, we haven't heard Vanessa scream in a while, that must mean we have a grandchild." He replied, his words gave me the hope I needed that our first grandchild had indeed entered the world.
"Guys?" Dylan called tapping me on the shoulder.
"Yes sweetie?" I turned to face my youngest son.
"Zac's coming, look." He said pointing to a man walking down the corridor, who I identified to be Zac.
All four of us suddenly rushed to our feet, waiting for the arrival of my son.
Dylan grabbed onto Mia's hand, a look of anticipation in his eyes, while I hugged David around the waist.
Zac finally stood before us, the wetness of his cheeks indicated my baby had been crying.
After a moment of silence, Zac embraced the four of us in a group hug. As we stood hugging Zac began to cry, which of course set me and Mia off, I think I even saw tears welling up in Dylan's eyes.
"Hey Guys?" Zac said as he pulled away from the hug.
Four sets of eyes turned to look at Zac, with not only anticipation brewing inside of us but also nerves as to the well being of Vanessa.
"I'm a daddy." He finished.
I squealed in delight. I was finally a grandma.
We all once again engaged in a group hug as Zac received many congratulations and questions about his newborn.
"Woah, guys." Zac said, clearly overwhelmed by the amount of questions he was being asked at once. "Why don't we go see Van and our new baby girl?" he proposed, which of course we all accepted excitedly.
We followed Zac down the corridor, until we stopped outside a room marked '103'.
"Before we go in, can I just ask you to respect the fact that Van has just spent 23 hours giving birth, don't get too overexcited." Zac said, I smiled knowing I had raised a kind and considerate man.
"Sure thing bro, just let us in, I'm dying to see my niece!" Dylan said, acting like a 7 year old on Christmas morning.
Zac just laughed and opened the door separating us from the newborn we were all dying to see.
The sight that met my eyes was breathtaking; there was my daughter in law, stunning as ever, despite the lack of sleep, holding an equally beautiful human being. My new granddaughter.
The four of us rushed to Vanessa's side to get a closer look at the baby.
"Oh My Gosh, Zac she has you're eyes." I said, taken aback by the beauty of my son's first child.
Zac smiled and sat next to Vanessa on the bed, putting one arm around her waist and gently stroking the baby's head.
"She's so beautiful." Mia gushed through her tears and she grabbed onto a stunned Dylan.
"She takes after her mom." Zac said, looking directly into Vanessa's eyes, as he placed a tender kiss on her forehead.
I had never seen them so in love. Having a child had brought them closer already, they both possessed a new sparkle in their eyes, the sparkle of a parent. They also both had this new found love and connection with a being they created, their new daughter helped them to take the love they had for one another to the next level, they were completely transfixed on not only one another, but also the new baby girl Vanessa held so tightly in her arms.
"This is Adelina Nicole Efron." Vanessa said, speaking for the first time since we'd been in the room.
"What a beautiful name." I choked, as tears started running down my face.
"I'm an uncle." Dylan spoke up, the new sensation finally sinking in.
"Yeah you are bro, how do you feel?" Zac asked, as he tightened his grip around Vanessa and Adelina
"How do I feel?" Dylan repeated Zac's question. "More like how do you feel, you've just become a dad." He finished.
"It is the best feeling in the world, I can't even describe it." Zac replied, tears welling in his eyes.
"Do you guys wanna hold her?" Vanessa asked, in a weak voice.
The four of us nodded, as Vanessa passed Adelina to Zac, who carefully placed her in the arms of Mia, who was standing closest to the bed.
Once Adelina was happily in Mia's arms, Vanessa and Zac led down, getting more comfortable in the hospital bed. Zac then leaned down to place a passionate kiss on Vanessa's lips, which from what I could see she happily returned.
After Mia, Dylan and David had all held Adelina, and many pictures had been taken, it was finally my turn.
I was extremely careful as David place the sleeping beauty in my arms. She was perfect. The spitting image of Zac as a baby, aside from the evidence of dark hair.
I gently rocked her back and forth and place a small kiss on her forehead. It was still sinking in that I had become a grandma, but as my gaze directed towards a sleeping Vanessa and a proud looking Zac everything started to feel right. This is how it was meant to be. I couldn't be more proud of Zac, I had raised an amazing man, but at this moment I felt a new kind of pride towards a 27 year old woman sleeping in the hospital bed in front of me. Vanessa had always been a like a daughter to me, and to see her give birth to such an amazing life form as Adelina, has really connected me with my daughter-in-law on a new level.
I slowly and gently handed Adelina back to Zac. "Here you go daddy." I said as I kissed him on the forehead. "I think we better go and give Vanessa some peace." I said, referring to the tired looking woman, who was fast asleep in her hospital bed.
"I think that might be a good idea." Zac replied as he placed Adelina in her crib.
Zac gave each of us a massive hug and thanked us for our support throughout Vanessa's pregnancy. As I left the room it dawned on me that there were two new grandparents on vacation, oblivious to the new arrival into the Efron family. It took everything in me not to phone them up gushing about Adeline, but I figured that would probably be something Zac and Vanessa wanted to do, in their own time.
As David and I walked through the door to our home, I pulled out my mobile phone and immediately set the image of Adelina as my wallpaper.
It would be an image I would never tire of seeing, and one I could use to brag about the new arrival at work tomorrow.

Zac's POV
Once my immediate family had left the room, I turned to look at the sight before me. My beautiful wife and stunning daughter. Daughter, I'm never going to get tired of saying that.
As my gaze focused on that of my sleeping wife, my heart swelled with pride. I had never been more proud of anyone, ever. I can't even imagine how painful childbirth must be, yet van had endured 23 hours of pure hell to bring our creation into this world. Just after Lina was born Van told me that she would go through all that pain all over again to have a baby, she said seeing our daughter made everything worthwhile.
I have heard many people say childbirth ruins a woman, both physically and emotionally. I couldn't disagree with them more. As I look over at my one true love, she has never looked more sexy. Her complexion was flawless, her hair was breathtaking and despite the after baby bump, her figure was captivating.
I had always thought I could never love Van anymore than I did when we first met, I was proved wrong when I saw her walking down the aisle, but now I realized having Adelina has just multiplied that love by a trillion.
I'm captivated by her beauty, I'm stunned by her amazing personality, but most of all I have fallen in love with Vanessa Anne Efron all over again.
My gaze on her body clearly didn't go unnoticed as Van started to stir awake.
"Babe?" she said as she reached out and placed her hand in mine.
I accepted her hand and began to stroke her hair gently. "Hey sweetie, how you feeling?" I asked as I place a loving kiss on her forehead.
"Sore." She admitted. "But amazing." She smiled as she leant up and placed a tender kiss on my lips.
I embraced Van in a hug and placed soft kisses along her neckline.
"I love you Zac." She whispered.
"I love you too Van, more then you could ever know." I replied kissing her on the lips once more.
"And I love our baby over there." She said, motioning towards the crib which contained Adelina. "Our baby Zac, our creation."
"I love her too, she's my little princess." I whispered as the door to our room opened.
"Hey guys." Dr Roberts said as she entered the room. "How you feeling Vanessa?" she asked as she stood beside the bed.
"Sore." Van repeated what she had told me earlier.
"That's completely normal." Dr Roberts informed us as I intertwined our fingers, placing a kiss on the back of Van's hand.
"Do you mind if I take a look at you, see how you're doing?" Dr Roberts asked as Van nodded.
Dr Roberts pulled back the covers and examined Van all over.
"Looks like you're doing well, everything is healing nicely and that baby bump should be gone within a couple of weeks." The doctor informed us as she walked towards Adelina's crib.
"You ready to try and feed her." Jenna asked
Van nodded.
"Have you decided to breast feed." She asked, looking towards not only Van, but also to me, clearly interested in my opinion.
Van turned her gaze towards me and I nodded.
"I wasn't sure at first, but I have decided to give it a go." Van informed Dr Roberts.
After a few minutes preparation Van was finally in the right position to begin to breast feed our daughter for the first time.
I was holding Lina as Van got comfortable.
"Okay Vanessa now just expose one of you're breasts." Dr Roberts said, as Vanessa took down one side of her bra exposing her beautiful breast.
"Okay now Zac, if you could hand Adelina to Vanessa, her head facing the breast." Dr continued.
I did as I was told and placed Lina in Van's safe arms, placing a kiss in Van's hair.
"Oh my gosh!." Van laughed as Adelina latched onto her breast. "This feels so amazing." She said, as tears rolled down her cheek.
"You're a natural Vanessa." Dr Roberts said as she left the room.
I sat down next to Van placing an arm around her shoulder.
"I don't even know why I'm crying." Van sobbed as I kissed her on the cheek.
"You're hormones are all over the place babe, and plus this is a beautiful moment." I said tears rolling down my own cheeks.
"We did it Zac." Van whispered. "Were parents." She said as she gave me a passionate kiss on the lips.
"I know babe, and I can't wait to share my future with my two favorite girls in the entire world." I said as our lips connected once more.
