Zach wrapped his arms around Noah loosely, kissing the top of his head while he thought about what Jen said. He did know what she was talking about. He was well aware of the actors who had gotten pregnant before. He was also aware of the actors who had terminated pregnancies - probably better than she was - rather than lose their career. He wasn't going to let fear rule his life though. He loved acting, yes, but this was bigger than acting. This was his family, this was his future. He didn't need more money or fame.

"So," Zach said calmly. "I know what you want me to do and I respect that. And I know that Caleb wants me to do that as well. I'm not going to. This isn't something I want to hide. Look, I knew I was capable of getting pregnant and I didn't take precautions to prevent it. I didn't plan on getting pregnant but I'm not upset about it and I'm not going to act like it's something I should be ashamed about. It might do some good if I don't."
