Max closed the door, leaving Toby standing outside. Max reached and took Eliza from Zoe and headed back into the living room. A piece of paper had been pushed through the letter box. Zoe bent down and picked it up. As she unfolded it she saw that on it was written a phone number.

As she entered the living room. She saw that max was playing with Eliza in the floor.

"Max. Are you okay?"

"Yeah can we just forget that ever happened and get back to the picnic?"

"Yeah okay, but he left you this." Zoe handled max the paper.

"It's got a phone number on. Maybe you should give him a call when you feel ready. There's no rush."

Max gave a weak smile, before turning his attention back to his babbling daughter.

Zoe went into the kitchen and made drinks. Zoe was confused. Did max know about this brother or was this the first time he's seen him. She didn't know. And right now she could tell that max was in no mood for answering questions.

Zoe walked back into the other room and placed the drinks down on the table before siting on the floor with max and Eliza. She began to tickle her foot and the little girl began to giggle. Max tickled her tummy and she giggled louder.

Zoe kissed her daughters cheek and she smiled. Max smiled too. He turned to Zoe.

"I'm sorry."

"Max its okay. It's a shock I get it and it's a shock for me too."

"I've never seen him before, I didn't even know he existed. And now all I've got to go on is a forename, a phone number and the fact he claims to be my half brother."

"Maybe you should ring him."

"I'm not sure. I'm happy with my life. Its prefect the way it is. I've got you and Eliza and that's all I need."

"Okay well I can't decide for you, but whatever you chose to do I'll always be here."

"I know." Max kissed Zoe's lips.

Eliza let out a little babble to draw her parent's attention back to her.

"Oh sorry princess, the King got a little carried away." Zoe smiled lovingly at her beautiful miracle.
