The Babysitter//Zach Herron

Ch 44- Telling our family

Flying to Dallas...

In the airport we a picture with a few fans and then continues on our way to our terminal. Realizing that nobody other than our friends know that we are engaged, I quickly stuck my left hand in my pocket.

It's rare for you to not get stopped by a supporter, but we love it. 

The flight attendant complimented my ring as she handed us our water bottles and airplane pretzels.

After landing and getting our bags we walk outside and wait for the family to arrive.

Mr. Herron pulls up and we put our bags in the trunk. I'm wearing a loose hoodie despite the hot temperature because we don't want anyone to suspect anything. We decided it would be easiest if I took the ring off and put it in my bag.

Once we arrive at home and settle in, Zach and I put the plan in action.

Myta is going to start cooking dinner soon, so Zach sneaks a bun and puts it in the oven. Going along with the phrase for pregnant women, "bun in the oven". 

Zach and I are sitting at the breakfast bar talking to Myta as she prepares dinner.

"Who put this bun in the oven?" Myta asks as she opens the oven. "I did," Zach replies.

"Zach are you serious, if I hadn't checked before I preheated the oven to bake the lasagna, it would have burned and made a big mess!!" 

Zach and I just laugh. "What's so funny? You just wasted a bun!!" she exclaims.

I stand up and take my hoodie off while Zach teases with her a little bit.

"Mom, I put BOTH buns in the oven." he says winking.

"Both buns, what are you talking about?" I walk around the counter so Myta can see my slightly raised stomach. Zach bends down and kisses my stomach.

Myta screams causing everyone to rush into the kitchen frantically.

"NO WAY!!" She squeals. Zach and I nod our head and smile.

"What's wrong?" Mr. Herron asks with a worried expression on his face.

"There is a bun...in the oven!!" Myta exclaims. 

Unlike her, Mr. Herron got the reference immediately and gave me and Zach a hug.

"Wait I don't get it!!" Reese pouts. 

"There's a baby in my belly, Reese." I say putting my hands on my stomach.

"I'm gonna have a baby brother???" she exclaims.

We all laugh. "Well, not quite. This baby is going to be your niece of nephew."

"Ohhh ok." she responds.

Ryan and Reese both give me hugs and the whole night Reese ask all the questions in the book.

My dad came over to join us for dinner and we shared the exciting news with him.

"I can't believe it, my first grandchild!!" Myta exclaims.

"Oh and that's not all," Zach says looking at me and smiling. I had the ring in my pocket and quickly slide it on.

I hold my hand up and show them the ring. "We are getting married, too" I say.

Everyone seemed so shocked except for my dad. 

"Dad, why aren't you surprised?" I ask.

"Well, your now fiancé actually called about a month ago to ask for my permission." he replies.

I start to tear up, "You did?" I ask quietly looking at Zach.

"We raised you well, son." Mr. Herron says causing Zach to smile.

After we ate dinner and we then got ice cream, which I have been craving all day.

Then we all watched a movie on the couch, majority of us falling asleep...including me.

The next day...

Zach and I decide to stop by the same OBGYN office we had gone to when we were pregnant for the first time. 

"Does nurse Ella still work here?" I ask the lady at the front desk who's name tag reads Maddy.

"Yes she does. Ella is on break right now, do you have an appointment?" she questions.

"No we are just some old patients and wanted to say hi real quick." Zach says.

"Ok, well I can let her know you are here. Stay right here." Eileen says standing up and walking through the set of doors to our left."

A few moments later, Ella walks out and recognizes us immediately. 

"Zach, Y/N?" she embraces me in a big hug. "How are you??"

"I'm good...I'm also pregnant!" I exclaim, just saying those words makes me giddy.

"Aww congratulations guys!! How far along are you?"

"I'm just over 18 weeks." I reply.

"Do you know the gender?"

"No, we haven't found out yet" I say.

"Would you like to?" Ella asks excitedly.

I look up at Zach, "Yes!!"

We go back to a room and I lay down on a table, bringing back memories of the last time I was here.

She puts the cold gel on my stomach and begins moving around the device. 

Ella points out the baby's head, feet, and arms. "Ok, there it is!" Ella exclaims.

I tug on Zach's arm to distract him. "Wait!" I say harshly.

"Can you write it on a piece of paper? I think it would be nice to find out with the family, at home." 

"Good idea. Could you put it in an envelope?" Zach questions.

"Of course I can!"

We look at our baby for a few minutes before thanking Ella and heading home. 

We walk in to an empty house, everyone is outside in the backyard swimming in the pool.

"Hey mom, we have some exciting news." Zach says holding up the envelope that says "GENDER" on it.

Myta gasps. "You found out the gender??" 

"No, we haven't looked yet." I reply.

Everyone quickly dries off and we FaceTime with the boys and Ally and Christina. 

"3...2...1" they all shout as Zach and I slide the piece of paper out of the envelope.

Everyone goes crazy!!!
