The next morning, Vanessa woke up and walked to the bathroom where she regurgitated the remains of her stomach. After she finished, she walked to the sink and brushed her teeth. She then put some light makeup on and got dressed. Vanessa walked downstairs and went into the kitchen and ate breakfast. As she was putting her dishes in the dishwasher, the doorbell rang. Vanessa walked to the door and opened it.
"Hey, are you ready to go?" Zac asked.
"Yeah, let me get my purse" Vanessa said picking up her purse and walking out the door.
Zac and Vanessa got into the car. Zac started driving and occasionally looked at Vanessa.
"Are you excited to see the baby?" Zac asked starting the conversation.
"Yeah, I can't wait. I hope it's healthy" Vanessa said.
Zac smiled.
"Well, I know it will be healthy because you are one of the healthiest people I know. You don't have to worry about that" Zac said.
Vanessa smiled.
"Yeah I guess. Are you excited?" Vanessa asked.
"Yeah, I can't wait to see what it looks like" Zac said.
"Are you scared?" Vanessa asked.
Zac took a deep breath and looked at Vanessa.
"Yeah, I'm petrified. Are you?" Zac asked.
Vanessa nodded.
"I'm scared of it all. I am by myself in all of this-"Vanessa started.
Zac's jaw tensed when Vanessa said that.
"Hey, you are not by yourself. I'm here" Zac interrupted.
"I'm sorry" Vanessa said looking down.
Zac relaxed his jaw and sighed. He felt bad that he snapped at her but he felt hurt by their breakup still.
"Van, I didn't mean it like that" Zac said softly.
"I don't want to talk about this anymore right now okay?" Vanessa said.
"Okay, but Van please don't shut me out. I know you better than anyone else and I know that's what you are doing" Zac said.
"Let's just talk about it later Zac" Vanessa said.
"Okay" Zac said.
Zac drove into the parking lot of Vanessa's obstetrician's office. He parked his car and the two adults got out and walked into the office. Vanessa signed herself in and sat next to Zac. A couple minutes later, a nurse who had blonde long hair and who was about twenty five came into the room with a file.
"Vanessa Hudgens?" the nurse called.
Vanessa and Zac stood up and followed the nurse into a room where Vanessa's vitals were taken. They then were escorted into an exam room.
"Vanessa please change into this gown and Dr. Todd will be in shortly" the nurse said.
"Okay, thanks" Vanessa said.
The nurse left the room. Zac looked at Vanessa.
"Do you want me to step out?" Zac asked.
"You got me pregnant and we were together for five years. You can stay" Vanessa said.
Zac nodded. Vanessa quickly changed into the gown and sat on the exam table.
"Are you feeling okay?" Zac asked.
"I threw up this morning" Vanessa said.
Zac sighed and looked at Vanessa.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Zac asked.
"I didn't think you would want to know that" Vanessa said.
"Van, whether we are together or not, we are having a child together. I want to know things like that. I still care about you" Zac said.
"Let's not talk about our relationship status here please. We will talk when we get back to my house" Vanessa said.
"Okay" Zac said.
There was a knock on the door and a young woman with dark long hair who was probably about forty-five came into the room.
"Hi Vanessa, who is this?" Dr. Todd asked motioning to Zac.
"This is the father of the baby, Zac" Vanessa said.
"Hi Zac, nice to meet you" Dr. Todd said shaking Zac's hand.
"Nice to meet you too" Zac said.
Dr. Todd looked at Vanessa and smiled.
"Let's take a look and see how the baby is doing today" Dr. Todd said.
"Okay" Vanessa said.
Vanessa lied back on the bed and lifted the gown above her stomach. Zac looked at Vanessa nervously. Dr. Todd turned on the ultrasound and waited until it heated up. After it heated, Dr. Todd took a bottle of gel and squeezed some of the product onto Vanessa's flat stomach. She then took a wand and started moving the gel around Vanessa's stomach. Dr. Todd looked at the screen and moved the wand around Vanessa's stomach and stopped.
"There's your baby" Dr. Todd said pointing to the screen.
Zac smiled and tears ran down his cheeks as he looked at the screen. Vanessa looked at Zac and smiled.
"Is daddy a little overwhelmed?" Dr. Todd asked.
Zac cleared his throat.
"A little bit. Thanks for allowing me to come with you Van" Zac said.
Vanessa smiled.
"It's your baby. I wouldn't keep that from you" Vanessa said.
"Is the baby healthy?" Zac asked.
"Yes, the baby looks very healthy and not in distress. Vanessa is taking good care of it" Dr. Todd said.
"I would never think she wouldn't" Zac said.
Vanessa smiled.
"Vanessa I need to examine you. Zac, do you want to step out or are you okay?" Dr. Todd asked.
Zac looked at Vanessa.
"Do you want me to stay?" Zac asked.
Vanessa nodded.
"Okay, then I am staying" Zac said.
"Alright" Dr. Todd said.
Vanessa spread her legs apart and took a deep breath. Dr. Todd took her place at the end of the bed.
"Vanessa, take a deep breath in for me" Dr. Todd said.
Vanessa took a deep breath and closed her eyes. Dr. Todd examined Vanessa and then came back up and smiled.
"Everything looks fine. I will go print these pictures for you and you will be free to go" Dr. Todd said.
"Thank you" Vanessa said.
Dr. Todd left the room. Vanessa looked at Zac.
"Are you freaked out?" Vanessa asked as she changed back into her clothes.
"A little bit. But that was to be expected. Are you?" Zac asked.
"I should be used to it but I'm not. What did you think of the baby?" Vanessa asked.
"Small. But it's going to get bigger eventually" Zac said.
"Yeah" Vanessa said.
There was a knock on the door and Dr. Todd came into the room.
"Here are the pictures and I will see you in a month" Dr. Todd said handing the pictures to Vanessa.
Vanessa and Zac walked out of the exam room and left the office. They got into the car and looked at each other.
"So where are we going?" Zac asked.
"My house" Vanessa said.
"Okay" Zac said.
Zac drove to Vanessa's house and parked his car. The two adults got out of the car and walked into the house.
"So do you want to talk about us?" Zac asked.
"Okay" Vanessa said walking into the living room.
Zac and Vanessa sat down in the living room and looked at each other.
"Van, I never meant to hurt you. If I knew that I was hurting you when I would leave, I wouldn't have gone" Zac said.
"I just felt like you didn't care anymore Zac. I felt like just because we have been together for five years it would just be whatever when you came home or left to go somewhere. I didn't feel like I was part of the picture anymore. I didn't feel like you loved me" Vanessa said tearing up.
"Van, come here" Zac said.
Vanessa got off the couch and went over to the chair that Zac was sitting on. He motioned for her to sit down on his lap and she sat down. Zac wrapped his arm around Vanessa's waist.
"I care so much about you Van. I love you so much it hurts. Every time I would leave it killed me. I didn't want to have to be in a different state or country. I wanted to be with you. When I would come home, I didn't know what to do because I was so happy to be with you. You will always be in the picture Vanessa. I'm so sorry that I made you feel like you weren't" Zac said.
Vanessa sniffled and just cried.
"Hey, don't cry. I hate when you cry because it makes me cry" Zac said wiping her tears away.
"So you never stopped loving me?" Vanessa asked.
"I would be dead if I stopped loving you Vanessa Hudgens. I'm not even kidding" Zac said.
Vanessa smiled tearfully.
"I love you too but I am just really scared Zac. I'm petrified. We have a baby now and I don't know what is going to happen. I don't want us to break up again or be at that the point that were at. I don't know what to do" Vanessa said.
"Baby, listen to me okay? There is no where I would rather be than right here with you. As cheesy as it sounds, that's how I feel. You and this baby are my life. I am going to slow down on work and try to stay close to home so I can be with you and the baby. We can work on the distance stuff when we need to. But I love you so much Van and I could never see my life without you" Zac said.
Vanessa nodded.
"I love you too Zac" Vanessa said.
"So what are we going to do? It's your call" Zac said.
"I want to be with you Zac forever" Vanessa said.
Zac smiled and wiped a tear that was falling from Vanessa's eyes away.
"I want to be with your forever too. So I guess this means we are back together?" Zac asked.
Vanessa nodded. Zac looked at Vanessa smiled.
"There is something that I have wanted to do for the last month" Zac said.
Vanessa looked at Zac confused. Zac crashed his lips onto Vanessa's. Vanessa kissed Zac passionately and put her hand on his cheek. Zac pulled back and moved a stray hair away from Vanessa's face.
"I love you" Zac said.
"I love you too" Vanessa said.
"So, what are we going to tell our parents?" Vanessa asked.
"We will tell them that we are back together. Does Stella know?" Zac asked.
"No. She was so upset that I wouldn't talk to you and try to work things out" Vanessa said.
"She was just worried about you. She knew that you were upset" Zac said.
Vanessa nodded.
"Are you happy about the baby?" Vanessa asked.
Zac nodded.
"Even though it wasn't planned, I am really happy" Zac said.
"Okay. Do you want to go over to my parents house and tell them and see Stella?" Vanessa asked.
"Sure" Zac said.
"Okay, let's go" Vanessa said.
Zac and Vanessa left the house. Vanessa drove to her parents home and parked her car. There were hoards of paparazzi surrounding the car.
"Wait in the car" Zac said.
Zac got out of the car and walked through the paparazzi and went to Vanessa's side. He opened the door and helped her get out. The couple entwined their fingers together and walked into Vanessa's parents home.
"Stella?" Vanessa called up the stairs.
"What?" Stella answered.
"Come downstairs" Vanessa said.
Stella walked downstairs and saw a sight that she thought she would never see again.
"Zac attack!" Stella said running into Zac's arms.
"Hey you, how are you?" Zac asked as he hugged Stella.
"I'm doing okay. How are you?" Stella asked.
"I'm good. We just saw the baby" Zac said.
"Oh. So are you back together? Please say yes" Stella said.
Zac wrapped his arm around Vanessa's waist.
"We are back together" Vanessa said.
Stella smiled.
"I'm so happy" Stella said.
Vanessa and Zac smiled.
"So what does the baby look like?" Stella asked.
"It's really small. But it's going to get bigger. We couldn't really see much because it was so small" Vanessa said.
Gina and Greg Hudgens opened the front door and were stunned when they saw Zac standing in their living room.
"Zac? What are you doing here?" Gina asked.
"Mom, we have something to tell you" Vanessa said entwining her fingers with Zac's.
"What is it?" Gina asked.
"I'm pregnant and Zac and I got back together" Vanessa said.
Gina looked at her husband and then at the couple.
"I'm in complete shock, but I am happy for you guys" Gina said.
Greg Hudgens agreed with his wife and shook Zac's hand. The rest of the day, the Hudgens family and Zac celebrated the new addition to their family and that Zac was back in the picture.
