Cam and Zach haven't really had the easiest relationship. Their world is full of secrets and lies. Yet when someone meddles with their relationship it causes more destruction than it does hope. Cammie moved on and Zach did too, but what will happen when they meet once again? Will they figure out who caused them to break up, or will they just be Zach and Cammie. Zammie.
Chapter 1 The Doorbell
Cam POV
'I don't understand' I cried wiping away my tears that fell softly down the side of my face
'It has to be done Cam' Zach whispered from the other side of the sofa, he reached his hand across to touch mine
'Don't' I hissed moving my hand away
'Come on Gallagher Girl' He groaned 'Don't be like this! Think of everything we've been through!'
'I am Zach! I'm thinking about how we've made it through everything the world threw at us, and now you're ready to just give up'
'I'm sorry Gallagher Girl' Zach stood up and moved towards the door, he glanced back at me 'Don't try and find me. We're done. I'm done' And with that he walked out of the door without another word. I sat there in the dark for a little while allowing the realisation that me and Zach were completely and truly over. I waited for the tears to stream down my face more before I whispered into the darkness
'I'm pregnant'
Zach POV
I left the room with my heart breaking. I just told the woman I loved that we can no longer be together and she cannot contact me in anyway, shape or form. I called the elevator willing my own tears not to fall. Once I was inside my phone rung. I ripped it out of my pocket seeing the BLOCKED caller ID. I accepted and growled down the phone.
'I've done it'
'Congrats Zachy! And don't worry, I'll keep my side of the deal'
'If I ever hear that you lay a finger on Cameron I will hunt you down'
'Don't worry Zachy, Cammie will be just fine. I'll be in contact later with further instructions'
The call ended. I slumped against the walls allowing my tears to fall. I've sold my soul to the devil to save Cameron
. 5 years and some months later .
Cam POV
Someone once said that everyday is not like the other. They were clearly a parent.
'Mommy' A bundle jumped on my bed 'Mommy get up, get up!' He squealed
'It's too early' I groaned rolling over, further into the covers. He sighed and I had to hold back a smile. Like father like son.
'Mommy please get up' He tugged on my arm. I peered out from under the covers to see him pouting out his bottom lip. I let out a light hearted laugh
'Okay, I'm up' I sat up as he jumped on the bed more.
'Can I have pancakes for breakfast?' He asked
'You want pancakes' I began to tickle him hearing his delighted squeals that always brightens my mood 'You want pancakes' I repeated
'Mommy!'
'Okay, okay' I stopped and gave him a kiss on his nose 'I'll make pancakes'
'YAYYYYY' He leapt off the bed and ran out of the room. I smiled. Out of everything I thought I wanted from life and everything that was thrown my way, this is what I was meant to do.
I was about to move off of my bed when my phone buzzed.
Hello
Hey Cammie!
Hey Bex, how are you?
I'm good, are we still on for today?
Today?
Cam! It's Professor Buckingham's retirement party!
That's today? I ran into the kitchen to check the calendar, and there it was, written in a red lip liner (because I couldn't find a pen)
Yes Bex sighed I know we both thought that the day she left would be the day she died, but Patricia decided enough is enough. You forgot didn't you?
Yes I sighed getting the milk out of the fridge ready for pancakes
Don't worry, Grant and I are on our way over
There'll be pancakes waiting.
Love you, bye!
Bye!
The call ended and I stared at the phone for a while.
'Mommy' a cheery, cheeky voice called bounding into the kitchen 'I dressed myself' He beamed showing off how proud he was….wearing some pj bottoms and an inside out shirt.
'Sean Matthew Joseph Morgan, get your bum back into your room right now or there will be no pancakes' I placed my hand on my hips. Sean gasped and ran back to his room. Kids, they'll believe anything.
.
'THE DOORBELL' Sean exclaimed from the dining table as he finished off his 2nd pancake.
'Go get it then'
He ran out of the room and towards the front door. I followed behind him. Opening the door as he jumped on the spot.
'Hello' Bex called
'Auntie Bexy' Sean screamed, he then ran up to her and gave her a big hug
'How is my favourite little buddy?' She picked him up and carried him in 'Hey Cam' She gave me a big hug
'Squished' Sean grumbled as he was caught between us
'Where's Grant?' I asked
'Here' An out of breath voice called from the doorway, I glanced over Bex's shoulder to see Grant carrying several boxed wrapped in paper
'Are they for me?' Sean asked Bex
'Well' Bex rolled her eyes 'I don't know really. Maybe you can help me? Which little boy had a big birthday recently?'
'ME' Sean clapped
'Well then' Bex put him down 'I guess they're for you'
'YAY' Sean bounced off to open the presents
'You shouldn't have' I said to Bex. She shrugged
'He's adorable, I can't help it' She glanced back at Sean ripping open one of the presents 'I have to hand it to you Cam, I wasn't sure if you could do this'
'Why?' I asked heading to the kitchen to put the kettle on
'Because of what happened with-'
'Bex, I've moved on and he probably has to. He didn't want me to be involved in his life anymore and subsequently he's missed out on Sean's. It's not my fault'
'MOMMY!' Sean called 'AUNTIE BEXY AND UNCLE GRANT GOT ME A RACECAR!'
'Wow!' I said with as much enthusiasm as possible 'Why don't you show Uncle Grant all of your cars?'
'YEAH!' He jumped up again 'Come on Uncle Grant' Sean tugged on Grant's arm who chased after him
'Do you miss being a spy?' Bex asked
'Yes and no' I answered honestly 'There are times when I miss the adventure and the thrill; but when I look at Sean, I know where my place is'
'You're amazing with him. And I'm such an amazing aunt as well' She flicked her hair back
'You're his favourite aunt'
'Really?' Bex's eyes widened
'Yep. Aunty Macey scares me and Aunty Lizzie talks very fast' I said in a mock child voice
'HA!' Bex pointed her finger at me 'Children adore me. This just proves it'
'Whatever you say'
'When did Joe and your mom come round last?' She asked
'About 2 weeks ago. We all went to the park and had a picnic'
'That sounds so...normal'
'This life suits me' I sighed 'But I don't know what I'm going to do when he starts school'
'Well, the CIA always has an opening for you, you know that right?' Bex raised her eyebrow
'I might just accept'
