Later that afternoon, Zac walked upstairs and saw that Vanessa was in the bathroom looking at her bump. He walked over and leaned against the doorway.
"He's getting big" Zac said.
Vanessa turned and looked at her boyfriend and nodded.
"Yeah, he's getting big and making me look like a bear attacked me" Vanessa said looking at her stretch marks.
"They will go away baby, don't even worry about that" Zac said.
"I just don't feel like I look good" Vanessa said.
"You are the most beautiful pregnant woman I have ever seen. Don't think that you aren't. You make me fall in love with you all over again every day" Zac said.
Vanessa smiled.
"You have to say that because I'm carrying your child" Vanessa said.
"I'm saying it because it's the truth and I love you so much Van" Zac said.
"I love you too" Vanessa said.
"Come on, enough staring at your body. You will only make yourself go crazy" Zac said taking her hand.
Zac and Vanessa walked downstairs.
"What can I make you to eat?" Zac asked.
"A sandwich with pickles and onions please" Vanessa said.
"Do you want any meat on that?" Zac asked.
"No thank you" Vanessa said.
"Okay" Zac said looking for the ingredients to Vanessa's sandwich.
Zac made Vanessa her sandwich and put it on a plate. He then put the plate onto the table.
"There you go" Zac said.
Vanessa sat down and took a bite out of her sandwich. She closed her eyes in delight.
"Thank you baby" Vanessa said.
"No problem. How is it?" Zac asked.
"It's really good. It sounds gross but to me it tastes amazing" Vanessa gushed.
Zac smiled and chuckled.
"You have some of the weirdest cravings" Zac said.
Vanessa shrugged.
"What baby wants, baby gets" Vanessa said.
Zac smiled.
"Yeah" Zac said.
"Baby?" Vanessa asked.
"Yeah honey?" Zac asked.
"Will you be home after the baby comes?" Vanessa asked.
"Yeah, I am. I am not going back to work until I know that you can take care of the baby by yourself" Zac said.
"Okay" Vanessa said.
"Why? What's on your mind?" Zac asked.
"Nothing, I was just wondering. I didn't know what the plan was or anything" Vanessa said.
"Okay" Zac said.
Vanessa finished her sandwich and brought her plate to the sink and put it in the dishwasher. She then walked over to Zac. She ran her fingers through her boyfriend's hair and wrapped her arms around his shoulders. Zac looked at Vanessa.
"What are you doing Van?" Zac asked.
"Sex" Vanessa mumbled.
Zac chuckled softly.
"What?" Vanessa asked.
"Nothing baby" Zac said.
"Please?" Vanessa asked.
"Your sex drive is insane" Zac said.
"What? Am I that insane to want to have sex with my boyfriend, who I never get intimate anymore with?" Vanessa asked hormonally.
"Babe, that's not what I meant" Zac said.
"I'm sorry that I'm pregnant and am needy" Vanessa said getting up and walking upstairs.
"Van, come back here" Zac said at the bottom of the stairs.
"No" Vanessa said closing their bedroom door and locking it.
Zac sighed and closed his eyes.
"It's only a mood swing. Just give her some time to relax and everything will be fine" Zac told himself.
Zac walked into the living room and sat down on the couch. He turned on the television and started watching a movie. An hour later, a tearful Vanessa came downstairs. She walked into the living room where Zac was watching his movie and sat down next to him.
"I'm sorry that I went off on you" Vanessa said.
Zac turned off the television and looked at his pregnant girlfriend.
"Baby, it's okay" Zac said.
"I'm just really clingy and I just want you by my side all the time. I don't feel like myself. You are what make me feel like myself so I gravitate towards you and that's why I want to have sex all the time" Vanessa explained.
Zac smiled.
"Vanessa" Zac said.
Vanessa looked at Zac. He only called her that when he was serious about something.
"I understand and I told you that it's okay. I know you don't feel like yourself sweetheart and I wish I could take that feeling away from you. I know that we haven't been intimate in a while. I just don't want to hurt the baby now that he is getting bigger" Zac said putting his hand on Vanessa's stomach.
Vanessa sniffled.
"Hey, don't cry babe. Do you understand what I'm saying though and why we haven't be having sex lately?" Zac asked.
Vanessa nodded.
"Yeah I understand" Vanessa said.
"I promise when he comes out, we will have lots of sex to make up for all the times that we didn't" Zac said.
Vanessa giggled.
"Good, because I miss you" Vanessa said.
Zac put his arm around Vanessa. Vanessa kissed Zac's lips softly.
"I miss you too" Zac said.
Zac put his hand on Vanessa's bump and felt his son kick his hand.
"Daddy can't wait to meet you bud" Zac said.
Vanessa smiled.
"Mommy can't wait either" Vanessa said.
"I wish we could just fast-forward the next four months" Zac said.
"Me too. But then that means pain" Vanessa said.
"You will be fine baby" Zac said.
"I think you are going to be the only one that will be able to help me get through it" Vanessa said.
Zac smiled.
"Good, because I wouldn't want anyone else to help you" Zac said kissing Vanessa's cheek.
Vanessa sighed and put her hand on her bump and felt the baby kick her hand.
"Have you talked to Stella?" Zac asked.
"Not really. I just have been so busy with all the baby stuff that I haven't had time" Vanessa said.
"Go call her and see what she's up to. You need to get out of the house" Zac said.
"Okay" Vanessa said.
Vanessa got up and called Stella and made plans with her. She walked back into the living room.
"I'm going to go pick Stella up and we are going to go to lunch. Do you want anything while I'm out?" Vanessa asked.
"No baby. Go have fun. Call me if you need me" Zac said kissing Vanessa's lips softly.
"I will. Love you" Vanessa said.
"I love you too" Zac said.
Vanessa left the house and drove to her parents house. She parked her car and walked to the front door. Vanessa rang the doorbell and waited for someone to answer the door. Stella opened the door and smiled when she saw her sister.
"Hey, are you ready to go?" Vanessa asked.
"Yeah" Stella said.
The sisters walked to the car and got in. Vanessa started driving.
"How are you feeling?" Stella asked.
"Fine. A little tired but I feel okay" Vanessa said.
"How's Zac?" Stella asked.
"He's fine. He's thinking about signing to do a new movie after the baby is born" Vanessa said.
"Oh, are you and the baby going to go with him?" Stella asked.
"No. I'm going to stay in LA and take care of the baby" Vanessa said.
"Where are they going to be filming?" Stella asked.
"I don't know. He's had a bunch of offers and doesn't want to take them yet because he wants to be home when the baby is born" Vanessa said.
"Oh. Have you asked him if he was going to take the offer?" Stella asked.
"No. He said he wanted to be home when the baby came so that he could help me with him. But, I don't know if he will take it after I get the hang of everything" Vanessa said.
"Maybe you should ask him. Just be honest" Stella said.
"Yeah, I will. How's everything with you?" Vanessa asked looking at Stella.
"Fine" Stella said.
Vanessa pulled into the restaurant parking lot that they were eating at and parked her car. The sisters went into the restaurant and ate. An hour later, Vanessa and Stella left the restaurant. Vanessa dropped Stella back at her house and drove home. She opened the front door of the house and walked in. Vanessa walked to Zac's office and saw him on his computer.
"How was lunch with Stellz?" Zac asked.
"It was good. Can I talk to you for a minute?" Vanessa asked.
Zac looked away from his computer and looked at Vanessa.
"What's up?" Zac asked.
"Are you going to take any of the offers that you have been recieving after the baby is born?" Vanessa asked.
"I don't know honey. I want to be here with you and him. I have no idea what I'm going to do" Zac said.
"How do you not know what you are going to do? The baby will be here in three and a half months Zac. We need to have a plan" Vanessa said.
"Van, I don't know. I'm still thinking about it. There are a lot of things on my mind that I need to sort out" Zac said.
"The baby is going to be here in three and a half months. You have contracts that need to be signed in that time frame. Don't you think that you need to figure out what you are going to do?" Vanessa asked.
Zac sighed and closed his eyes.
"I don't know what to do Vanessa. I am trying to figure that out. Give me some time" Zac said as his voice rose.
Vanessa looked down and was silent. She stood up and started walking out of the door.
"You know, if you want to leave, go ahead. I can't deal with this" Vanessa said.
Vanessa walked out of the room and went upstairs. She walked into the bedroom and closed and locked the door. Vanessa released her tears and lied down on the bed. Meanwhile downstairs, Zac sat at his desk and sighed. He didn't know what he was doing. Zac was under so much stress that he just exploded and it affected the woman he loved. He felt horrible that he got mad at Vanessa the way that he did. Zac got up from his desk and walked upstairs. He saw the bedroom door closed.
"Van, I'm sorry I acted like that. I just am under a lot of stress and I didn't mean to get angry at you like that, babe" Zac said through the door.
Vanessa opened the door and looked at Zac with tears running down her face.
"I'm sorry Van. I really am. I don't want to leave. I want to stay here with you. I just don't know if I am going to take the offers because I need to see how everything is going with you and the baby at the time. When he gets here, that is when I will decide what I am going to do" Zac said.
Vanessa nodded. She walked over to Zac and hugged him tightly. Zac wrapped his arms around her and kissed her head softly.
"Okay. I am stressed too Zac. The baby is going to be here in three months and I want to have everything figured out before he gets here" Vanessa said.
"I understand honey" Zac said.
Vanessa looked up at Zac and kissed his lips softly.
"I love you" Vanessa said.
"I love you too" Zac said.
Zac kneeled down and kissed Vanessa's bump.
"Love you bud" Zac said.
Vanessa smiled. Zac stood back up and looked at Vanessa.
"I think I am going to go take a nap. I'm really tired" Vanessa said putting her hand on her bump.
"Okay baby. Let me know if you need anything" Zac said.
Vanessa walked upstairs and went into the bedroom and fell asleep. A couple hours later, Zac walked upstairs and went into the bedroom and saw that Vanessa was sleeping. He lied down next to her on the bed and let her body naturally snuggle into his chest. Zac moved a few stray hairs away from Vanessa's face. Vanessa opened her eyes slowly and looked at Zac.
"How was your nap?" Zac asked.
"Good. I'm just tired" Vanessa said.
Zac smiled.
"Do you want me to make dinner?" Zac asked.
Vanessa shook her head.
"I will do it" Vanessa said.
"Are you sure?" Zac asked.
Vanessa just looked at Zac.
"Sorry" Zac said getting the message.
"I want to do it babe" Vanessa said getting up.
"I just don't want to put any stress on you" Zac said.
"I know, but you have to let me do some stuff Zac" Vanessa said.
"I know" Zac said.
The couple walked downstairs and went into the kitchen. Vanessa made dinner and the couple ate their food. They couldn't wait until their son was born in three months.
