Life As We Know It
Guardian Angel
Vanessa's POV*
He continued to hold me for almost an hour. He didn't say anything and neither did I. Guess when he's ready he'll bring it up. Or maybe he'll never ask about it. It wasn't something I necessarily wanted to talk about anyways. Though I know the topic will come in to play sooner or later. After holding me for so long Zacky sat down on the bed next to me and looked into my eyes. They looked hurt. I looked away so I didn't have to see the pain in them.
"Is that why you had me leave earlier?" He asked. Guess the topic is sooner rather than later.
"Yeah. Its not that I didn't want to tell you. I just didn't know what to say. I didn't even know I was pregnant till the doctor told me and by that time, it was too late." I said with tears beginning to form.
"Though it hurts to know we could've had another baby. I'm just glad you made it out alive. I can't believe your mother would do something like this to her own daughter." He said with a look of disgust.
"She was greedy. At least she's out of my life and hair now." I sighed.
"Now we can live without worries. We're going to go on tour together, and then we're going to come back home happy." Zacky said with a smile. Yeah he's right we're going to be happy. Something deep down inside told me everything was going to work out.
"Well, you should go home babe. I can come home tomorrow so everything will be fine and then we can pack for tour. Get some rest. Heaven knows we need it." I smiled at him. He kissed me gently and held me for a moment before he left the room. Finally this is all over. I felt like the biggest weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I laid there finally able to relax and drifted off to sleep.
The next morning my doctor was in and out of my room making sure everything with me is going well. She told me I can definitely go home today. I couldn't wait. Zacky just got here too but he's talking to one of the nurses about what he should be doing till I'm fully recovered. They said in about a week I can move around alot and then 2-3 weeks I should be back to normal. So in 2 weeks when then tour kicks off, I should be fine. For now I get to have Zack pack all of my things. I laughed quietly to myself. One of the nurses came in and told me that I can change out of my hospital gown. She helped me up and I walked into the bathroom. It hurt a bit to be
moving again but this was a good kind of pain. The kind that says "Yes, I'm going home." I put on a very loose v-neck along with a pair of yoga pants. They felt quite comfortable on me. Felt good to wear clothes rather than a stupid hospital gown. Once I was finished I went and sat down on the edge of my bed and waited for them to say I can leave.
"Ready to go?" Zack said as he walked in the room.
"Yeah, can you hand me the sandals you brought for me babe?" I asked.
He handed me a pair of flip flops that I rarely wear but at this time was thankful for. Bending over didn't seem to be a good idea at this time. I dropped the flip flops on the floor and put them on.
"Okay Ms. Andrews, you're all clear to go home. I wrote some prescriptions down for you to help with the pain and I suggest that if you plan to go on that tour that you should get as much bed rest as possible before you go. Mr. Baker, you've been filled in on what you can do to help right?" The doctor said to me and Zacky.
"Yup. It won't be a problem doc." He said.
"Alright. You may leave now. Take care of yourself Vanessa and if anything feels wrong, come in and ask for me. I'm here most days." She said with a smile and then Zacky helped me out of the room.
"Where's Jaymee?" I asked Zacky as we made our way to the car.
"She's at home. Val's with her." He replied.
"Okay then. That's good." I said with a smile though I wasn't up for being around people right now, Just wanted to be with my family.
Zacky helped me into the car and then walked around to get into the drivers side. Once he was all settled in his seat he drove us home. Seems like ever since we moved into our house we were never there, we were always just "going home." Luckily, I get 2 weeks of rest in my home before we're off on tour. We pulled into our driveway and then Zacky got out and came around to help me inside. We walked in through the garage doors and as soon as I went in, I could hear Jaymee giggling at something on TV. Slowly, I made my way into the living room. Once there, I was greeted by Val and Matt. Zack didn't mention that Matt would be here too but I guess I'm not going to complain. He goes where she goes. Kinda like a puppy. I'm surprised they aren't married yet to be honest. They both gave me a light hug and told me they were glad I was home. Its a good feeling to have people who love you and care about you.
"Alright, we'll get out of your way." Val said with a smile. "Call me if you need anything. I'm alway willing to babysit Jaymee." Matt gave me a look. I'm guessing that she's probably brought up the baby subject to him. I laughed quietly to myself.
"Thanks you two. Once I'm a little better we'll have a BBQ here before tour." I said to them.
Once they were gone I plopped down on the couch and stared at Jaymee who was in her play pen in front of the TV. She'll never remember all of this crazy stuff that has happened and a huge part of me is thankful for that. Zacky came and sat down next to me and put his arm around me. Neither of us said anything but I could tell that he was thinking the same thing I was.
"So what's for dinner Mr. Baker?" I asked.
"Well I was thinking chinese? I mean unless you want some hospital food?" He laughed.
I punched him in his arm, it was light but enough to get the point across. "Chinese would be fine." I laughed.
"Alright. I'll be back." He said then he got up and gave me a kiss on the forehead.
I laid down and continued watching Jaymee. She turned around and looked at me and smiled. She reminded me of Zacky so much when she did that. He swears up and down that she's just like me but I see so much of him in her.
I probably sat and just watched Jaymee for about a half hour because before I knew it Zack was already home with food. It smelled so good. I haven't had a decent meal in a couple days so I was planning to pig out on the food. Zacky sat the food down on the couch next to me then he went into the kitchen. All I could hear was cabinets and doors opening and closing. It wasn't until he came back out with a baby bottle, that I knew what he was doing. He laid Jaymee down and gave her the bottle. She was happy to have it. Then he came and sat next to me.
"We have a little angel I swear. She's such a good baby." I said amazed.
"Maybe she's our guardian angel. I mean she brought us back together. And she keeps us both alive." Zack said.
He was right. She gives us something to live for. Of course we have each other but she makes everything 10x more worth it. My little guardian angel.
