.Zac and Vanessa got out of bed and walked to Troy's room and saw him standing in his crib.
"Hi honey" Vanessa said kissing her son's head.
Zac picked Troy up and put him on the ground.
"Troy, we are going to see the baby today" Vanessa said happily.
"Yay" Troy said.
Troy ran out of the room.
"Be careful going down the stairs, Troy" Zac said.
Vanessa and Zac hung back in Troy's room. Zac kissed Vanessa's lips and put a hand on her tiny bump.
"I love you so much" Zac said touching his wife's face.
"I love you too" Vanessa said kissing him again.
The couple went downstairs holding hands. The little family then got into the car and drove to the hospital. Zac parked the car and helped Vanessa out of the car, then got Troy out of his car seat. They all went into the hospital. Vanessa signed herself in and sat down next to Zac.
"Vanessa?" a nurse called.
Vanessa, Zac, and Troy followed the nurse to a room, to get Vanessa's vitals. They were then escorted to an exam room.
"Are you excited to see the baby, Troy?" Vanessa asked as she laid on the bed.
Troy nodded and smiled. Vanessa smiled and kissed her son's check. There was a knock on the door and Dr. Peter walked in, smiling.
"Troy, you are such a big boy now, are you ready to see your brother?" Dr. Peter asked the three year old.
"Yeah" Troy said.
Dr. Peter washed his hands and dried them.
"How are you feeling, Vanessa?" Dr. Peter asked.
"Tired, I am more tired this time than I was with Troy" Vanessa said.
"That's normal. Don't worry. Let's take a look" Dr. Peter said turning on the ultrasound machine.
Troy sat on Zac's lap as he waited to see his brother on the screen. Once the ultrasound machine warmed up, Dr. Peter put gel onto Vanessa's stomach.
"That's cold" Vanessa said.
"Sorry about that" Dr. Peter said.
Dr. Peter took the wand and moved it across Vanessa's stomach and stopped.
"Look Troy, that's your brother" Zac said pointing to the screen as he held his son in his arms.
"He's small" Troy said leaning his head against his father's chest.
"He has to grow still Troy when he comes out, he will be bigger" Zac told his son.
Vanessa looked at how Zac and Troy were interacting with each other and smiled.
"You are twenty four weeks, correct?" Dr. Peter asked Vanessa.
"Yes" Vanessa said.
"I want to examine you. I will get a nurse to take care of Troy for a minute" Dr. Peter said.
Dr. Peter left the room and came back with a nurse. The nurse went up to Troy and took his hand.
"No!" Troy cried.
"Honey, it will only be for a minute. You can come back in after" Vanessa said trying to reassure her son.
Troy walked out of the room with the nurse and closed the door behind them. Dr. Peter then sat at the foot of the bed and spread Vanessa's legs apart. Zac took Vanessa's hand in his as Dr. Peter examined her.
"He is in the correct position. You have one healthy baby" Dr. Peter said smiling as he took his gloves off and washed his hands.
Vanessa sat up with the help of Zac.
"I will let Troy in" Dr. Crane said.
Dr. Crane opened the door and Troy came running in.
"See bud, it wasn't that long" Zac said as he caught Troy in his arms and carried him to the chair he was sitting in.
"Everything looks good and I will see you soon" Dr. Crane said shaking Zac's hand.
Dr. Crane left the room and Vanessa looked at Zac.
"Let's go home" Zac said helping Vanessa get off the exam table.
Troy held his father's hand as they all walked to the car. Zac put Troy into his car seat and closed the backseat door. Then helped Vanessa. He then went to the driver's side and got in. The little family drove home. Zac parked the car and helped Vanessa out of the car and then got Troy out. The Efron's went inside the house and put Troy to bed. The couple then went downstairs and sat in the family room.
"Babe?" Vanessa asked.
"Hmm?" Zac asked as he entwined their fingers together.
"Will you be home from filming before my due date?" Vanessa asked nervously.
"I hope so, sweetheart. It all depends on my director. When I leave, I want you to stay with Stella. I want anything to happen when you are alone" Zac said massaging her stomach. Vanessa smiled and put her hand on top of Zac's.
"Mmm" Vanessa closed her eyes.
"What's wrong, Van?" Zac asked seriously.
"I think he just kicked for the first time and really hard too" Vanessa said rubbing her bump.
Zac smiled and kissed Vanessa's lips sweetly.
"I love you" Zac said.
"I love you too babe" Vanessa said.
"I have to start packing. My plane leaves early tomorrow" Zac said.
Zac was leaving to film his movie in New York in the morning. He would come back in three months. Vanessa was scared that Zac would miss the birth of his son and that he wouldn't be with her when she had to deliver him.
"Vanessa, just remember that I love you. I know you are nervous about going into labor when I am gone, but you have to take it just day by day" Zac said kissing her head.
"I love you too" Vanessa.
Troy came into the room and saw his parents sitting on the couch.
"Mommy?" Troy asked standing in the doorway with his blanket.
"Troy, honey what's wrong?" Vanessa asked getting up, walking to her son, and kneeling in front of him.
"I had a bad dream" Troy said wiping his tears away from his face.
"Aw baby" Vanessa said hugging her son and rubbing his back.
"It was scary" Troy said hugging his mother.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Vanessa asked Troy, wiping the stray hairs out of his face.
"I dreamed that the baby didn't like me" Troy said.
"Troy, the baby will love you so much. You are his big brother and his protector. He could never not like you" Vanessa told her son.
"Really?" Troy asked.
"Yes, really. You can teach him how to play cars with you, you can show him how you brush your teeth so well by yourself, and you can show him how to dance" Vanessa said.
"Okay" Troy said.
"Do you want to try to go back to sleep?" Vanessa asked.
Troy nodded. Vanessa kissed her son's cheek.
"I love you, Troy" Vanessa said.
"I love you" Troy said.
Zac picked Troy up and took him upstairs and put him to bed. He then came back downstairs and saw Vanessa crying.
"Van, it's okay" Zac said trying to comfort his wife.
"I can't believe Troy would think that" Vanessa said crying.
"Babe, it's a phase. I was like that when my sister came. It's normal" Zac said wiping Vanessa's tears away.
The rest of the night, Zac and Vanessa talked about their unborn son and what and who he would look like.
