Zack woke up in his bed that night next to Raya at four in the morning. Every time he saw Raya during the night, he couldn't help but watch her sleep. Her skin tone and the movement of her body while breathing captivated him. His desire mounted with each rise and fall of his wife's chest. He only wished that she would wake up so that maybe Raya could satisfy his desire. As if someone had heard his silent wish, Raya woke up and yawned.
"What time is it?" Raya murmured sleepily.
"It's four," Zack answered while running his fingers through his wife's hair.
"Oh, oh!" Raya laughed while waking up completely. "I know that look. Well, come here then."
Zack obliged Raya by wrapping his arms around her and kissing her deeply. He then reached for the top button of her nightgown.
"Are you still going to want to do this with me after I gain all the weight?" Raya asked with a worried look on her face.
"Of course I will!" Zack promised. "I love you!"
"I know that I won't be much to look at," Raya sighed.
"You are beautiful!" Zack protested. "You always will be in my eyes!"
"That's just what I wanted to hear," Raya answered with a kiss while Zack continued to unbutton her nightgown.
After Zack got dressed for work and ate breakfast, the phone rang.
"Hello?" Zack answered.
"Remember me?" a familiar voice spoke.
"It's good to hear from you again, Kim," Zack happily spoke.
"I heard the news," Kim declared. "Congratulations!"
"Thanks," Zack replied.
"Guess what?" Kim spoke mischievously.
"What?" Zack answered.
"I'm pregnant too!" Kim revealed. "I just found out yesterday."
"That's great!" Zack cheered.
"What's going on?" Raya demanded.
"Kim's pregnant too," Zack told her.
"Wonderful!" Raya cried out.
"Get into trouble lately?" Kim probed.
"Well, I did have to fight this big bruiser who gave me a black eye," Zack answered.
"You don't say," Kim sighed.
"Ever hear of a man named Eisenhower Holt?" Zack wanted to know.
"I can't say that I have," Kim admitted.
"I'm glad because this guy makes fighting Shego seem like a cakewalk," Zack declared.
"Did you get him?" Kim probed.
"Yes, but it wasn't easy," Zack said.
"Let me talk to Raya," Kim ordered. "We future mothers need to catch up."
"I'm just about to head for work so I'll let you talk with her as soon as I say goodbye," Zack answered.
"Okay," Kim agreed just as Zack set down the phone.
Zack wrapped Raya in a warm hug and kissed her deeply.
"You are such a great kisser!" Raya cooed.
"Only because you are," Zack replied.
"Please stay out of trouble!" Raya insisted.
"I'll try, but knowing my luck, that's all I can promise you," Zack confessed.
"I know," Raya sighed.
"Goodbye mommy," Zack spoke while heading for the door.
"Bye," Raya answered while picking up the phone.
Zack got in his car and drove to work. Upon arriving, he stashed the vial in his glove compartment and locked the door. He only wished that he had been able to give the vial to Dan and Amy which would have ended his troubles. When he locked his car and got out, he started the first of his adult classes. The adult classes were of course more strenuous than the classes for children. Before starting the children's class, he went out for a walk and saw Ashley, Diedre, Becky, Lela, and Teri waiting at the front door.
"We heard," Deidre declared while approaching Zack. "We are all happy for you!"
"Thank you," Zack replied as all five girls lined up to hug him.
"You must be happy," Ashley guessed.
"Yes, I am," Zack replied. "When are you getting your glasses?"
"Rio will take me to get them after class," Ashley revealed.
"Remember what I said," Zack ordered.
"I will," Ashley promised.
Ashley was just about to follow the girls inside, but she hesitated and looked back at Zack.
"What's wrong?" Zack asked.
"I sure would hate to see the person who could give you a black eye," Ashley mused.
"You've got that right!" Zack agreed.
Inside the class, Zack led his class through a variety of stretches to warm up. He then had them practice some standard punches and kicks. Towards the end of class, he took everyone into the woods where he would try to sneak up on people. This was an exercise to teach his class to be alert. When he got back inside, his sensei informed Zack that he had a phone call.
"Hello?" Zack asked after taking the phone.
"Can you come over?" Pizzazz asked.
"Sure," Zack agreed.
"H-have you found anything odd like a vial recently?" Pizzazz stuttered.
"Something is wrong?" Zack barked with a deep frown on his face.
"You should see for yourself," Pizzazz insisted.
"I'll be right there," Zack promised.
"Bring the vial," Pizzazz ordered.
Zack hung up the phone and shook his head because he knew that he was about to get into some more trouble. He knew that Raya would mad if she found out. He spent the whole drive to Misfit Manor planning his next course of action. Upon arriving, he parked his car in the woods so no one in the mansion would see him. Zack put the vial in his pocket in case he needed it. He was afraid that an alarm would sound if he approached. He noticed that there were no cameras protecting the west wall so that would have to be his point of entry. When he was done casing the joint, he stared at the front of the mansion while racking his brain for ideas. Suddenly, a hand grabbed his right shoulder.
