Well, I'm skipping dance practice, so I thought I would update another chapter(:

Song: I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing -- Aerosmith


I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing
Zanessa

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure

I rolled over groggily and smiled at the sight of my boyfriend, Zac, laying right beside me. He had a
small bit of drool running from his lip and he was snore softly. It was too cute. I shifted a little and
felt his grip of me tighten a little, I smiled to myself, not wanting to ever have to get up. I hadn't seen
him in six whole months. He was filming a sequel to Hairspray and I was filming a new romantic
comedy. It kept reminding me of him, the first time we hung out as an official couple, we watched
The Holiday. Of course, he argued on it, but I have a good way of getting him to cave in.

Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing

A few months ago, Zac graduated from an online college he'd been taking. And him at twenty three
and me at twenty two couldn't be happier. We've been dating for four years now, never really fought that much, I'll say. But, a few weeks ago, I went to get a check up. I found out I was pregnant.

Lying close to you feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes
And thank God we're together
I just want to stay with you in this moment forever
Forever and ever

I'm just having a tidal wave of emotions. Worry, happiness, fear, anxiety, excited. I'm just worried
I'm going to screw up as a mom..I haven't even told him yet. But, knowing that in nine months
I'll be holding my own baby. A real life baby...

Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing

Later that night, I was running around like a chicken with its head cut off trying to get everything
ready before Zac came home from work. What will he say? What if he's not ready to be a dad?
My thoughts were interrupted by a familiar pair of arms wrapping around me.

I smiled, "Hey you."

"Hey," Zac smiled, "What're you doing?"

"Oh...nothing. Come here..."

I led him into the living room and sat him on the couch, then I ran upstairs and got a wrapped
gift box and handed it to him. Confusion was splattered on his face. He opened the box, inside
were a rattle and a pacifier with a note tied to it. Don't worry Daddy, I'm coming! He stared
in thought at it for a while, then a grin grew on his face.

"Ness.."

"Zac, I'm pregnant." I smiled.

He picked me up and kissed me. We're going to start our own family!

I don't want to miss one smile
I don't want to miss one kiss
I just want to be with you
Right here with you, just like this
I just want to hold you close
Feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time

Nine months flew by faster than you could ever expect. Corbin was always poking fun on me
gaining baby weight, but I'll tell you, all the side effects are totally worth it. At 10 that night, I had
the baby. She's a healthy girl which we named Natalia Jennifer Efron. Nattie for short. She has
Zac's blue eyes and his grin with my hair and skin. She's beautiful.

Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing

Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
I don't want to miss a thing
