That night Zac and Vanessa put Ryan to bed and then went downstairs. Starla and David were talking to Troy about Ryan.
"You need to help your mommy and daddy with Ryan, Troy" David said.
"Okay Grandpa" Troy said.
Vanessa sat next to Troy on the couch and pulled him onto her lap.
"Troy, it's time for bed" Vanessa said kissing her son's head.
"No" Troy whined.
"Come on Troy, say night night to Grandma and Grandpa" Vanessa told her son.
Troy walked up to his grandmother and grandfather and gave them both hugs. Starla and David then said goodbye to Vanessa and Zac and left the house. He then walked with his mother upstairs. Vanessa helped Troy get into his pajamas. Troy hugged his mother tightly. Vanessa hugged back and lifted her son into her arms. She then tucked Troy into bed.
"Did you have fun with grandma and grandpa today?" Vanessa asked her son.
"Yeah" Troy said putting his head on his mother's shoulder.
"Mommy?" Troy asked.
"Yes baby?" Vanessa asked looking at Troy.
"Will I fall in love like you and daddy did?" Troy asked.
Vanessa smiled. She put the stray hairs that were covering Troy's face to the side and kissed his head.
"I hope so, honey. Your daddy has made me so happy. When you are older, and start dating girls you will find someone that will love you like how I love daddy. She will be the love of your life and you won't be able to ever see your life without her. Why do you ask?" Vanessa asked Troy.
"Grandma was telling me how you and daddy fell in love" Troy said.
Vanessa smiled.
"Oh, well you will fall in love when you are older, but before then you need to go to sleep. Goodnight sweetie, I love you" Vanessa said kissing Troy's head and getting up.
Vanessa walked out the door and went into the master bedroom. She saw Zac taking his shirt off and went and hugged him from behind.
"Is Troy asleep?" Zac asked as he rubbed Vanessa's hand that was wrapped around his stomach.
"Yeah, your mother needs to stop telling him about love though" Vanessa said taking her shirt off.
"Why? What did Troy say?" Zac asked as he got into bed.
"He asked me if he was going to fall in love like you and I did. I told him when he's older he will find a girl that will love him like how I love you. He's already thinking about love, god he's growing up so fast" Vanessa said.
"Oh man, but I know he will find someone special like how I found you" Zac said kissing Vanessa's shoulder.
"Mmm..maybe" Vanessa said.
Zac started to kiss Vanessa's neck.
"I feel unsexy" Vanessa said looking at her husband.
Zac looked up from Vanessa's neck.
"Are you kidding me? You are the sexiest, most amazing mother and wife that anyone could ever ask for" Zac said.
"Yeah, but I just had a baby, Zac. I am not back to normal yet" Vanessa said looking at her stretch marks that were still visible from her pregnancy.
"Baby, listen to me. You are perfect. Just because your body changed from having a baby doesn't change how I feel about you. I actually like when you are pregnant and after, you are even sexier than before" Zac said kissing Vanessa's lips.
"You are obligated to say that, you are married to me" Vanessa said.
"No I am not babe. I said it because it's true" Zac said.
Zac got out of bed and went to Vanessa's side and lifted her out of bed. He brought her to the full length mirror that was in the corner of their bedroom and put her back on the ground. Zac stood in back of Vanessa, wrapping his arms around her waist and they both looked at their reflection in the mirror.
"You are so unbelievably sexy to me" Zac said kissing her shoulder.
Vanessa looked at her reflection in the mirror. She had dark circles under her eyes and was dressed in nothing but her bra and underwear.
"I love you so much" Zac said.
"I love you too" Vanessa said.
Zac kissed Vanessa's neck and then her shoulder. He lifted her into his arms. Vanessa wrapped her legs around Zac's waist. Zac then brought her to the bed and put her down. He hovered on top of her and made a line of kisses down her body.
"Zac, please" Vanessa urged.
Zac removed his wife's bra and then her underwear.
"If I am hurting you, tell me to stop okay?" Zac said.
Vanessa nodded and wrapped her arms around her husband's shoulders. The couple made love all throughout the night. The next morning, Zac woke up and remembered the activity that occurred the night before and smiled. He leaned over to Vanessa's side and kissed her cheek.
"Mmmm" Vanessa said with her eyes still closed.
Vanessa opened her eyes and smiled when she saw Zac's face.
"Did I hurt you, baby?" Zac asked concerned.
"No" Vanessa said.
Zac smiled and kissed her lips softly.
"I love you, Vanessa Efron, so much" Zac said.
"I love you too Zachary David Alexander Efron" Vanessa said smiling.
Zac kissed Vanessa's lips one more time. They then heard a cry coming from Ryan's room. Vanessa got out of bed and walked to her infant son's room. She then picked him up and walked around the room, trying to soothe him. Once Ryan had stopped crying, Vanessa put him back into his crib.
"I love you Ryan" Vanessa said.
Vanessa left the room and went back to the master bedroom and got back into bed.
"Is he okay?" Zac asked.
"Yeah, he's fine" Vanessa said snuggling into Zac's chest.
Troy came into his parents room and went to Zac's side of the bed. Zac looked next to him and saw Troy waiting for him.
"Hi bud" Zac said.
"Hi daddy" Troy said.
Zac lifted Troy onto the bed and set him in between Vanessa and himself.
"What's the plan, babe?" Zac asked Vanessa.
"Stella is coming over with Brianna. We are going to try to figure out what we are getting my mother for Christmas" Vanessa said.
"Okay, I have to meet up with my publicist and answer some questions for a magazine" Zac said.
"Okay" Vanessa said.
A couple hours later, the doorbell rang. Troy ran to the door.
"Mommy, can I open it?" Troy asked.
"Yeah, Troy" Vanessa said holding Ryan in her arms.
Troy opened the door and was met with Stella's face.
"Hey Troy, come here" Stella said.
Troy ran into his aunt's arms. Stella kissed Troy's head and walked deeper into the house with Brianna.
"You guys go play" Stella said.
Stella walked into the kitchen.
"Hey Van" Stella said hugging her older sister.
"Hey, how's everything?" Vanessa asked as she put Ryan into his day chair.
"The usual. Ryan is fighting with me. Same old thing" Stella said.
"You are fighting now?" Vanessa asked.
"Yeah, the girlfriend wants to move in and I said no" Stella said.
Vanessa looked at her sister as she opened a bottle of wine.
"Take him to court. That's messed up" Zac said.
"I know, I just don't want to try anything else. He already tried to take Brianna from me. I don't know how much more I can take" Stella said as Vanessa poured her a glass of wine.
"You should take him to court or try to work things out" Vanessa said.
Brianna and Troy came into the room.
"Mommy" Troy said.
"Yes Troy?" Vanessa said turning to her son.
"I am in love" Troy said.
Vanessa looked at her son confused and then at Stella.
"Who are you in love with Troy?" Vanessa asked her son.
"With Brianna" Troy said seriously.
Stella put her head in her hands as she laughed at her nephew's comment. Vanessa bent down to Troy's level.
"Honey, Brianna's a family member. You have to fall in love with someone that isn't in our family" Vanessa said.
"But I love her mommy" Troy said as his eyes filled up with tears.
"Aw baby" Vanessa said as she hugged Troy.
"When you are older, you will find someone okay?" Vanessa said.
"Okay" Vanessa said as she looked at Stella.
"Go play, Troy" Stella said.
Troy walked out of the kitchen. Vanessa looked at her sister.
"What am I going to do with him?" Vanessa asked.
"With who?" Zac asked from behind.
"Your son" Vanessa said.
"What did he do now?" Zac asked his wife as he wrapped his arms around her.
"He said he is in love with Brianna and that he wants to marry her" Vanessa told her husband.
"Oh boy" Zac said.
"It's a phase, Van" Stella said.
"I know, but wow. That was a real shocker" Vanessa said rubbing her head.
That night, the Hudgens-Efron family hung around the house. Vanessa, Zac, and Stella knew that their children would find love in the future.
