Nothing but the sound of rain and the eerie clicking of my watch was filling the room. I don't know how I'm gonna tell him; I've got about 4 hours to figure that out. My flight leaves in about 45 minutes, and I don't know if I'm ready to face him. The last time I saw him he told me he loved me, and I just left him. I should've told him about this when I found out. He's probably wrapped up with some bleach blonde tramp and probably has completely forgotten about me. I still love him and I should've told him that when I had the chance. Its hard not to still love him, I am carrying his baby after all.

I found out about a month ago, I'm about 3 months along. I've become extremely attached to this little guy, even though I was a complete wreck when I found out. I'm scared Wade won't want it or will think I'm another thing holding him back from his dreams, which is why I'm waiting 'till I arrive back to Bluebell. He at least deserves to know this baby exist, I can't do what my mother did to me to my child. I'll probably just return back to New York if everything goes wrong...

I miss him so much... That is why I don't know whats gonna happen when I see him today. I look down at my watch; its time to leave... I take one look around the small airport room and make my way on to the plane.

"Zoe! I didn't know you were coming home today! Why didn't you call me earlier?" Lavon yells when he answers the door. It was the happy yelling though, haha.

"I didn't know I was gonna come home today either! Sorry it was a last minute decision!" I chuckle as Lavon gives me a huge bear hug.

"What makes you feel the need to come back to Bluebell today?" He asks after we take a seat in the kitchen.

"Well..." I don't know how I'm gonna say this... "I kinda need to talk about a thing I've known for a while... with some certain people.. or person.."

"And that thing is...?" he knits his eyebrows together,

"I'm uh..." I stutter "Three months pregnant and Wade's the father..." I mumble so its barely audible.

"Zoe... Speak up." Lavon demands.

"I'm pregnant." I state bluntly. Theres a long pause, "It's Wade's."

"You're what?" he gapes. "Does Wade know? How long have you known?"

"No, Wade doesn't know yet and thats why I'm here. I've known for about a month and I'm about 3 months along." I look down.

"Zoe, that's insane. You need to tell him!" Now he's actually yelling

"I know I know! I am!" I retort.

All of a sudden, the all to familiar sound of the porch door slams open. Oh no- Its Wade.

"Hey Lavon do you-" He stops mid sentence and looks up at me. "Doc.. You're back in town?" He asks puzzled.

"Yeah, I am." I smile. It feels so good to see his face. "Its good to see you."

"Yeah... you to.." He says, slightly shocked. That scares me. Is he not happy to see me? Is it because he's found someone else? This got awkward. I didn't know what to do so I just went up and hugged him. It took him a second, but he finally but his arms around me too.

I see Lavon give me a look like good luck, and walk out. We drop our embrace and we stand there for a moment.

"Do you maybe wanna get coffee later and catch up?" I ask, hopeful.

"Yeah, I have a my shift at the Rammer Jammer in an hour. I'll see you then." He smiles and walks out. I return his smile and go to walk away to find Lavon. "Zoe?" He says one last time.

"Yes?" I reply.

"It really is good seeing ya back." He says, and returns to walking back to his part of the house.

I go and tell Lavon my plans but reassured him I would join him and AB for dinner so we can all talk about New York. I make my way back to my old part of the plantation. Walking in was so nostalgic, even though it has only been 3 months since I've been here. I sit my suitcase on the bed and just collapse along with it. How am I gonna tell him? He's probably gonna be really mad. I look down at the ultrasound I got when I first found out. I have to do this for the little guy.

I walk in and see him assisting a customer; a customer with big boobs and long blonde hair, obviously. Thats typical Wade for you. Ugh, I cannot excuse this behavior anymore. This is not good for someone who is about to be a dad. Well... He doesn't know that yet. I rest my hand on my growing baby bump. Its not really noticeable, but it does look like I put on a few pounds...

"Doc" He smiles at me as I take a seat. He grabs the chair next to mine. "How've you been?"

I sigh, "New York was amazing, but I needed to come back to Bluebell."

"And what brings you back?" he asks nonchalantly.

No. I can't just spit out this big of news out in the middle of the Rammer Jammer. This needs to be more intimate. "Oh, I just think being a GP suits me better. Plus, I missed Lavon and AB and George and even Lemon."

He looks down, kinda disappointed. "Yes Wade, I missed you too."

He smiles, then there is a long awkward pause. "Do you maybe wanna just go for a walk?" I ask

"Yeah.. that sounds good." He replies. He's acting really strange. Kinda distant. Its understandable, I did just leave him without saying I love you back...

We walk around and make small talk. It almost makes me sad that things have to be like this.

We reach Lavon's plantation, at Wade's door. "Listen, why do things have to be so awkward?" I ask, trying to lighten him up a bit.

"Awkward? No, everything is just peachy keen, Doc." He replies coldly.

"Wade, I know you well enough to know when you're building walls. Why are you doing this to me?" I raise my voice

"You broke my heart!" He yells. Almost startling me. "I said I loved you and you only told me you were leaving for the rest of the summer! And then I never heard back from you until now! And right when I think I moved on you show up out of the blue and come walking in expecting me to be completely normal. Zoe its not fair."

"You think this has been easy for me?" I state sternly. Looking right into his eyes.

"Not easy, but you weren't the one who got abandoned." He said, eyebrows knitted together. Thats what he always does when he's mad.

I chuckle. "Wade you have no idea what I've been going through. And what I've been going through is what brings me here today."

"Oh really? So what brings you here Zoe?" He asks almost sarcastically.

I sigh and look down. I take one more breath and look back into his dark blue eyes. "I'm pregnant Wade. Tell me thats not enough of a constant reminder of me still being in love with you and having to deal with the fact that I never said it back to you."

"...you're pregnant?" he asks, as all the color drains from his face. "and its mine?"

"Yes Wade, of course its yours." I cross my arms.

"What the hell Zoe! How long have you known?" He demands

All of a sudden regret washes over me "For about a month." I say shamefully

Wade's eyes widen, "And you didn't tell me?! Zoe when were you planning on telling me?"

"I was gonna do it when I got here obviously! You were acting so cold... And that scared me that this will just make you hate me even worse." I say as a single tear travels down my cheek. Damn you hormones.

He laughs and looks down "Zoe Hart, I don't hate you, and if anything this makes me care about you even more.."

I sniffle "How?"

"Zoe, you are having my baby.." He smiles. "And I'm ready to be there for you and this baby. What I did when you and I were together is unacceptable, and I will do... anything to make it up to you. I love you. The real question is, do you want me to be there for you?"

I smile "Of course Wade."
