Look At You


Part Thirty

"There's my boy." Barbie said spying her van coming up the drive. "Wait that's my son. Now Barbie I was there when he was born I know." Diana laughed. "Hey Momma, Mom, Dad." Zac said. "Oh my God it's true. She got first billing. I've lost my baby again, first to her daughter, now to her." Diana complained. "Oh Mom don't be that way. You just did such a wonderful job on me, they all love me." Zac teased. "Watch out for that swelling head there son." Walker teased. "So how is my daughter." Diana asked. "She's hyped about quitting work and staying home working on the wedding." Zac said. "And when did this happen?" she asked. "This morning when that other lady called." Zac teased. "Other lady. Well. Touche Diana." Barbie said. "What is he doing here, if I may ask?" Diana said. "Simple math Diana, nine people in an eight passenger vehicle. Walker the van is yours whenever you want to come back is up to you. If you want to stay longer, fine by me, just let the Smiths know. I've already informed them, you're family and have free rein of the place. The fresh air is doing wonders for Diana, you ought to stay." Barbie said. "Walker could we, I do feel better up here." Diana asked. "I've enjoyed myself. Barbie you take care of my three older boys and I'll take you two younger ones, deal?" Walker said. "Fine by me. Just don't let them walk all over you two." Barbie said. "Zac be a dear and go to my room, up the stairs, turn right, last room on the left. My bag is packed and right inside the door. I'll speak to the Smith's about my two boys, he can put them to work shoveling shit. That'll keep your girls at a distance." Barbie said chuckling. "Oh Walker I don't have to tell you but I will, Ken's clothes are yours. I sort of like this interchangeable part system we have going Diana." Barbie smiled as she headed in the house. "Me too sista friend." Diana said cuddling in her husbands arms. "Zac pick up your keys, handing by the door there. I'll meet you in the car son." Barbie said heading to the kitchen to speak with the Smiths. She stopped on the porch to let them know, the Smiths would be helping out keeping the boys occupied to give them more time together as long as Jessie and Avie would be watching Mackie and Zoe. "You two enjoy each other." Barbie said heading to the Expedition. "Tulsa son, Tulsa University by 11:45 if you don't mind." Barbie said. "You look real nice Momma somethings different about you. Let's see, hair's the same, ummm, something." Zac said. "You and Ken what is it with men this morning." she complained pulling down the vanity mirror and looking. There was definitely something different but she couldn't put her finger on it. Her eyes sparkled, her skin glowed, her breasts were full, her thoughts came to a screaching halt as she reached for her purse frantically. "What's wrong Momma, you look like you've seen a ghost." Zac asked. "No, no no this can't be. No it can't be. Oh God Zac what am I going to do." she cried. "Momma it'll be all right. Tell me what's wrong I'll help you, we'll make everything okay." Zac said pulling the car off the road. "Momma tell me." Zac asked unbuckling and reaching to hug her. "Zac promise me you won't tell a soul, not Jessy, not your Mom, not Ken." she asked. "Yes Momma I promise, tell me what's wrong so I can help you." Zac said. "Zac, oh God no, he'll hate me, he's so adament about this, he'll think I've betrayed him." Barbie continued. "Momma he'll who. Not Ken he loves you more than anything." Zac said. "No he doesn't, this will end us as we are." she said and just stared out the window. "You've got to tell me what's wrong. I can't help if you don't tell me." Zac asked "Zac I've missed two periods, I'm pregnant. I was so stressed out with moving and everthing else I didn't panic last month. I just figured it was the stress. I'm overdue for this month now. The something different you and Ken saw, the sparkly eyes, the glowing skin, the bigger, better boobs. Damn it, why me? I don't want to lose him." Barbie cried again. "Momma why do you say you'll lose him? He could never hate you. Ken is too decent a guy to think you betrayed him. He knows how much you love him." Zac said. "Tell you what, I say we head to the nearest store and get one of those pregnancy tests and start from there." Zac said driving them to a pharmacy near home. "I'll go get one. You just try to relax." Zac said. "Wait Zac you can't go buy a pregnancy kit they'd eat you up alive. I can do this." Barbie said opening the door and heading to the store returning shortly with her purchases. "We can't go home. Where's the nearest restroom." Barbie asked. "I know where we can go." Zac said and headed to the old neighborhood. "There's a garage door opener in the glovebox Momma." Zac said and she opened it hit the button and put it back. Zac pulled the car into the garage, hit the button by the door, and showed Momma through the house, to the bathroom. "Zac look at your watch. Tell me when fifteen minutes is up?" Barbie shouted. "Sure Momma." Zac answered, adding, "Come on out and wait with me Momma." "It's hard to believe I'm the mother and you're the child. Not much of a child anymore eh? You poor thing, we've turned your life upside down and now I'm giving it another spin." Barbie said holding his face. "Zac she's a good girl. Has a kind soul. You treat her right and she'll treat you like no other can. But you ever make the mistake and hurt her, she'll make you hate her to get free from the pain. She'll go back the way she was before you saved her." Barbie said eyes filled with tears but not crying. "I'll do my best Momma. I truly love her, more than myself at times." Zac said. "I've seen it Zac. Nothing wrong with a little of it, just don't lose track of yourself. You have to live for you first Zac, no one else can do that but you. You'll be no good to Jessy if you lose sight of who Zac is." Barbie said. "I see what you mean Momma. I'll remember it. It's been long enough you want me go with you." Zac asked. "Why don't you just go look. I know I am, I've accepted it. Now what to do, that's the problem." Barbie said shaking her head no. "You're right. So I say tell Ken. He'll be as shocked as you were. Then he'll accept just like you have. Momma I know I'm the kid, but what this kid saw was you, thinking the unthinkable, blaming yourself, hating yourself and now I see acceptance. Momma do you know how blessed you are, at your age, God thinks you should have a baby. Not just you, but you and Ken. God knows what great parents you'll be. Don't cry Momma, I didn't mean to make you cry." Zac said. "Zac you just make everything so simple. I've wasted the last two hours on something that wasn't mine to change or question, just accept. My gift from God and I act like a spoiled brat. You are wise beyond your years." Barbie said. "I love you too Momma." Zac said hugging her. "Well how to break the news to Ken. Anymore pearls of wisdom for me?" Barbie said hugging him tighter. "Shoot straight from the hip, just tell him that you got the shock of your life today, you're two months pregnant." Zac said. "And then dial 911." Barbie laughed. "Momma you're smiling." Zac said. "Yeah Zac, everything's going to be okay. Just like you promised me son." Barbie said and they discussed the hows and whats. The two of them headed out on a mission, the house to themselves for the night courtesy Zac hosting a party for the eight of them. They started at home making sure everyone had clothes for tonight and tomorrow at Zac's.. Dinner prepared for both houses. Movies rented and stopping to inform Nick and Ben. "Man I'm beat." Barbie said. "Only need to find the notorious four and let them know." Zac said diaing Ike's cell phone only to hear it ringing upstairs. "Come on Tay, please have taken yours. Hey what's up bro?" Zac said. "I'm downtown with Ike and Kristina. We just had lunch with Chele. You back?" Tay asked. "Yeah just a little while ago, we had errands and stuff to take care of. I'm having a party at our place tonight so tell them our place, I already have clothes for the girls. Momma packed up everything they'll need. So see ya here whenever." Zac said. "Sure Zac, sounds like fun." Tay said hanging up. "That's the last of it Momma. It's a plan." Zac laughed. "Zac do me a favor. Run in and get me that pregnancy kit, the bag, the receipt with the date on it. I've decided that's how I'm telling him. I was going to seduce him but that's not straight from the hip as you put it." Barbie said. "Sure Momma. I think that's about as straight forward as you'll get. The facts as they were dealt to you. See you in twenty minutes." Zac said kissing her on the cheek. "Thanks Zac. I love you too." Barbie said picking up the phone and dialing it. "English Department." she answere. "Christine, Mrs. Kendall. Did Ken make it in on time?" Barbie asked. "Sure did, with two minutes to spare." she answered. "Well it's a good thing he didn't have to breathe." Barbie laughed. "The reason I called was to see when his last class ends, today is the short day right?" Barbie asked. "Right his class just ended. Want me to ring you through to him?" she asked. "Thanks. That'd be nice." Barbie said. "Professor Kendall" Ken said. "Mrs. Kendall" Barbie said. "Wow I was just thinking about you. Spooky." Ken said. "I'm spooky or the fact I called is spooky?" she teased. "No you don't woman. I was just thinking that I want you to go to the doctor for me even though you feel better." Ken said. "Okay dear. I'll call as soon as I'm done talking to you." Barbie said. "What?" Ken said. "I said yes dear." Barbie repeated. "No fighting, arguing, threatening? Okay who are you and what have you done with my wife?" Ken asked. "Fine. No dear I feel fine." Barbie said. "Okay what did you call for." Ken said. "Just to tell you I miss you and can't wait until you get home." Barbie said. "That's nice. I miss you too. I should be home in an hour at the most." Ken said. "Good, I'll be waiting. Bye hun." Barbie said and hung up as Zac returned with her package. "Thanks son. Ken will be here within the hour." Barbie said. They talked until Zac left to pick up Jessy at work and Barbie went to shower and wait for Ken.
