Zach had an idealized version of what his pregnancy was going to be when he told the world about it. Yeah, some people were going to have a problem with it but for the most part everything would be fine. He would get to go about his life like normal, go on hikes with Leo and Noah, take Noah out playing, and just have fun being a dad and not have the responsibilities of being an actor. Instead he couldn't go anywhere without a bodyguard, he and Noah spent all their time at home, and Jen had gotten no calls about future work for him.
Today he had let Jen take Noah out for a few hours and he'd stupidly checked Twitter to see what was being said about him. It had been difficult to see and then he'd made it worse by activating his Twitter account and responding to a few tweets. People had immediately jumped on him and Zach felt like he was an idiot for wanting this, for ever feeling good about having a baby.
Then Jen had called him, wanting him to hear it from her first, and told him that he was being dropped from his next film. The producer didn't outright say it was because he was pregnant but claimed they wanted to go in a different direction even though they had previously courted him hard.
"I ... uh, they dropped me from Starshine," Zach said hoarsely. "They paid the fee to break the contract this morning."
