The Babysitter//Zach Herron

Ch 32- This will change my life forever

December 16th...

Tour had just ended and after the little incident with Shane, things were going much more smoothly. Even though that was not a fun memory to look back on, it was the only way in that situation to let Zach know that I have zero feelings for Shane.

Zach and I flew home to Dallas to celebrate Mr. Herron's birthday. We decided we are just going to stay here till after Christmas and New Years.

"Hey everybody!!" we exclaim as we open the door to the Herron's house.

Everyone comes running to the door and showers us with hugs and kisses.

"We missed you guys so much!!" Myta kisses our cheeks and squeezes us tightly.

Mr. Herron brings our bags upstairs, I'm going to be staying with the Herron's since my dad is back in North Carolina until December 23rd for my grandma's birthday. I would probably be staying here anyway, even if he was home!!

For dinner, we are going out to eat at a hibachi steak house. This is the type place that cooks in front of you!!

I order the hibachi chicken with extra vegetables, no mushrooms...I hate those things.

The chef brings out the raw meats and starts to chop them up in between doing tricks with the salt and pepper shaker.

I start to feel queasy. "I don't feel too good." I look at Zach holding my napkin up to my mouth.

He must be able to tell I going to puke because he stands up extremely fast and grabs my free hand, leading me to the family bathroom.

As soon as the door closes behind us, I throw up. He pulls my hair out of my face and rubs my back, trying to make this more pleasant than it is.

When I'm finished he hands me a damp paper towel to wipe my mouth with.

"That was so strange, I didn't eat anything abnormal today. I wonder why I felt sick." I say.

"Aw baby, should we go home? I can bring us home so you can rest and get some medicine to calm your stomach."

"No, that's ok. I think I'll be alright." As soon as the bathroom door opened I immediately got a whiff of the air and feel sick again. 

"Nope, nevermind. I need to go home." I say while taking deep breathes.

"Ok, I'll grab the car keys. Be right back."

Luckily we drove in 2 different cars because Myta went early to get a table since they don't do phone call reservations.

Zach quickly explains the situation to the family and we leave the restaurant.

I take a cold shower to cool my clammy body down.

I lay on Zach's bed in a sports bra and nike spandex with the fan on full speed.

"I'm starting to feel better now. The restaurant just smelled so nasty to me,"  I say.

"The restaurant smelled normal to me. But I'm glad you feel better babe!!" 

Later that night, the rest of the family comes home and we open presents and eat cake.

The next day...

I wake up feeling sick again, I throw up three times before I can even handle the thought of eating pancakes for breakfast. Everyone else is downstairs eating while I'm trying to keep down what little food I have left in me.

I get a reminder on my phone from the Clue period tracker app. "You haven't updated in 2 months" it reads.

I start to put the puzzle pieces together. I feel nauseous when I smell certain foods. I missed my period for 2 months but didn't even realize it because tour kept me so busy. I have what could be "morning sickness". The unprotected sex Zach and I had 2 1/2 months ago. I panic and quickly put some clothes on before running downstairs.

"Can I borrow your car for like 15 minutes, Myta?" 

"Well, of course, you can, may I ask why though?" she questions.

"Um, just a quick thing I need to pick up from CVS. I just transferred my prescriptions to a CVS in LA and need to get my last prescription before tomorrow." 

"Oh, here y/n I'll come with you," Zach says putting his napkin on the table and scooting out his chair.

"Don't worry about it babe, eat the rest of your breakfast. I'll be back in no time." I respond.

This bold-faced lie works. I grab the keys and head out the door.

I go to the closest CVS to buy a 4 pack Clear Blue pregnancy test. I also buy 2 different brands just so I can be completely sure of the results.

I drive back home and act as natural as possible.

"Is everything ok dear?" Myta asks as I walk in the door.

"Yeah, there was a line at the store, but no biggy! I'm going to go lay down upstairs for a few minutes, I still don't feel 100% great." 

"Aw sweetheart, let me know if you need anything. Zach is outside with Reese and Ryan!"

I run upstairs with the bag clenched tightly in my right hand. 

I take the test and now have to wait.

After the longest 3 minutes of my life, I check the test.

My heart sinks...it's positive. 

A/N- so Idk when Mr. Herron's actual bday is, but I just used that for the purpose of the story.

Also please keep the comments nice and not like "WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS??" or "YOU'RE GOING TO RUIN THE STORY!!!" 

Trust that I know where this story is going ok!!

Thanks guys, remember to vote!!
