~Zac's P.O.V.~
"Oh....my....God..." I choked as I ran to the bathroom.
"Zac, honey," Care called after me as she fell out of bed, followed me into the bathroom but then stopped short. "Zac--hahahah--are you---hahaha--ok?"
"No, I'm not." I whined then threw up again. Care went into another fit of giggles--again. "It's...not...funny." And I threw up again.
"Oh baby," She whispered as she knelt down beside me. She stroked my hair out of my face and kissed the top of my head.
"I am NEVER going to drink that much again." I said as I got up, flushed the toilet and rinsed my mouth.
"Well you should've quit when I told you to."
"Yeah I know." I said as I climbed back into bed.
~My P.O.V.~
I woke up to the smell of freshly made pancakes. I looked over but Taylor wasn't there. So I got up, put on my clothes and went downstairs. The house was completely trashed and the majority of the people were still sleeping. "Hey hon." I said as I walked into the kitchen.
"Good morning. I'm kinda disappointed you came down here. I wanted to serve you breakfast in bed."
"Oh...." I leaned up and kissed him softly. "That's so sweet."
"Well you deserve it." And he kissed me again. I wrapped my arms around his waist and laid my head on his chest. Feeling it rise and fall in perfect rythm.
"I love you." I whispered.
"Hey guys." Alicia said as she walked down the stairs with Ashley's arm wrapped aroung her. I smiled to myself.
"You guys are so cute." I said as they came into the kitchen and sat down, they both blushed as I said that.
"Where is everyone else?" Ash asked.
"Probably still passed out. I noticed some cars left though." I said as I sat down and waited for my pancakes. Y'know sometimes I wondered if I deserved such a wonderful fiance. I just sat there and watched him cook for a bit. It was so precious, the determined look on his face, the way he bit his bottom lip and the way his hair just fell perfectly infront of his peircing blue eyes.
"Hey Tay, are some of those for us too?" Care asked as she came into the kitchen, Zac behind her.
"No, I'm not eating anything for awhile." Zac said as he weakly made his way over to the counter to sit down...he looked so pathetic I felt bad.
"Poor Zac." Ashley said.
"Little bit of a hangover?" Leesha asked.
"Just a little." He said it quietly but you could still hear the sarcasm.
"Amy, you have your appointment with Karen in like a half hour." Care said. I couldn't miss that appointment.
"Shit. I think I'll skip breakfast and go get ready." I said as I finished my juice. Taylor shot me a disappointed look. "I'm sorry hon, I just can't miss this. Plus you have to get ready too." I said as I got up, kissed him and left.
--1:30pm--
"Well Amy," Karen Rassmussen, an OBGYN, started as I sat up after my exam and ultra sound, "You got lucky." Tears started to fall from my eyes. "Your baby is just fine."
"She'll be ok when she's born?" I asked wiping the tears of joy away from my eyes, she smiled and nodded.
"Just perfect." She said. "Did you want me to tell Taylor?"
"No I want to." I said quickly. She looked back at me and we both smiled.
"Ok, just get dressed and I'll send him in." She said as she left. I got dressed and sat on the table for a bit just thinking. ~I got really lucky. And so did Mandy. If I would've lost our baby....Taylor is going to be so happy~ Just then he walked in. I lept off the table and into his arms. A fresh new set of tears built up.
"Is she ok?" He asked, his voice shaking.
I swallowed, nodded, and manged to whisper, "She's fine. She's perfectly fine." Taylor squeezed me tighter and I felt his tears fall onto my bare neck and shoulders.
"I love you." He said, barely above a whisper. P> "I know, I love you too." I said pulling away. Our lips lightly brushed each other. "I suppose we should get back to Alicia's and let them know."
"Yeah I suppose. I can't believe it. She's ok. God, I'm so happy." He said and kissed me again.
"Me too." I whispered. When we pulled into Alicia's driveway we noticed that only Alana's car remained. Everyone else had left. "Hello?" I yelled as we walked in.
"Hey!!" Care yelled as she came downstairs and hugged us. "Everyone is upstairs watching some dumb infomercial." We walked upstairs and as soon as they saw us the TV was off.
"So...?" Beth asked.
"She's fine, the baby's fine." Taylor said as we both smiled brightly. Two seconds later I found myself and Tay in the biggest group hug. It was nice to know that everyone was just as happy as us.
-After supper- (7:30pm) ~Zac's P.O.V.~
I was downstairs on the internet checking out some Hanson websites when Care approached me. "Zac, hon" She put her hand on my shoulder and I looked up at her. "Did you want to talk about to me now?"
"Yeah sure." I said as I shut down the computer. I don't think Care could tell how nervous I was about this. I got up, took her hand, and led her to the couch. "I've been meaning to talk to you about this for awhile." I looked up at those hazel eyes. "Ever since you told me you wanted to give yourself to me."
"Zac, if you're not ready--"
I turned towards her and looke deeply into her innocent eyes. "No, Care that's not it at all. I talked to Taylor and Amy about this and they both gave me some good advice and recommended that I talk to you about it." Care had an extremely confused look on her face. "God I don't know how to say this."
"Zac, just tell me." She pleaded.
"I'm scared." I said as I looked down. ~God this is so embarrassing~ I felt her move closer to me and wrap her arm around my shoulders.
"Why?" I refused to look up. "Please Zac tell me why." I looked up into her understanding eyes.
"I'm afraid I'm going to hurt you and I'm afraid I won't be good enough for you." I looked down again. I felt her delicate hands take me by my chin to look at her, when I did she kissed me gently.
"Zac you don't have to worry. I'm sure it might hurt a little bit. But it won't be anything a little love won't be able to fix. Ok? As for the whole good enough thing? I haven't been with anyone else so I can't compare. I love you and because of that alone you'll be perfect. You don't have to worry about pleasing me...I've been pleased with what we have right now." She looked deeply into my eyes. ~How did I get so lucky to have such an understanding girlfriend?~
"Thank you. That makes me feel a lot better." And I hugged her tight. She pulled away slightly and kissed me then melted into my embrace again.
