Two

We had picked a good day to move out; there were two parties as the White Water Rafting School, as well as the normal lessons and leisure sessions. Saul and Karla couldn't get the day off, which meant we would have to move alone. It was probably a good thing; they had been fretting to the point of shared anxiety among us. Zed had made us all pancakes and put them on a plate for all of us to share. Will and Finley had held the conversation between them, a heavy weight between myself and Zed.

I had no idea what I had done for him to "want a talk," with me. He seemed pissed off with me, too. He sat next to me, neither of us moulded together and we weren't touching either, and he could barely look at me. We looked like enemies, compared to the husband-and-wife couple opposite us, with Will's arm never leaving her waist. He even was feeding her pancakes. They knew something was up, so they made their excused to leave the room to pack the "remaining" items in their bedroom down, but I knew it was a lie. Finley had packed everything down when they had both woke up earlier. But they both headed upstairs.

Zed got up taking the plates from the table to start to wash them up in the sink. I sat watching him as he turned the water on harsh, spraying him and the worktops. He sighed before throwing the cutlery in the sink.

'Zed?' I whispered and he ignored me. 'What have I done now?'

He continued to wash up the plates, point blank ignoring me. I grabbed the tea towel before standing next to him, drying the plates. The silence stretched on for quite a while, but I could see Zed's colours as being confused, upset and betrayed. What had I done wrong?

'Your parents called me last night,' He sighed.

'What did they say?' I asked and he rolled his eyes.

'You left your pills at their house, Sky, all this time we haven't been –'

'They're in my bag?' I replied back and he shut up.

'They are where?'

'They're in my backpack, I took one last night, and the night before that and every single night since I didn't take them and had my period.' I retorted and Zed frowned.

'But they said –'

'It's probably one of my really old ones; they did say they were clearing out my room. It might have been from like, three years ago but thanks for just assuming I would be that reckless,' I sighed back. Deep down, I felt disappointed too knowing that Zed honestly assumed I would be so careless to forget to take my pill. We had discussed having children and getting married, and those things will come in time. We hadn't wanted to get engage too early on, waiting for us both to be out of education and we wouldn't overly want a kid before marriage either. Knowing that Zed thought I would be so sly to leave my contraceptive pills in England before flying over here with him and carrying on like we normally do hurt me.

'But then, that doesn't make sense,' Zed muttered.

'What doesn't make sense?' I asked back, hot headed.

'Last night I saw... look it doesn't matter anyway. I'm sorry for accusing you Sky,' Zed said softly but I wasn't having any of it.

'No, you'll tell me what you saw before I accept an apology,' I said, crossing my arms.

'It was a premonition, I can't tell you,' He sighed.

'That's never stopped you before though, has it?' I asked him and he rolled his eyes, getting irriated with me now. Well, if he didn't want me to stick up for myself he shouldn't argue with me anyway, or accuse me of something before knowing the facts.

'No,' Zed muttered.

'So, now would be a good time to tell me,' I said, throwing the tea towel into the washing machine.

'I saw you and me with a baby,' Zed whispered and I hesitated. What was he suggesting? I looked around at Zed and saw a look of guilt and confusion. 'Last night, I saw you and me in our house with a baby, we were both incredibly happy, but there was a baby.' He sighed. 'I don't know how far away it is, but I wouldn't put it out of the next fifteen months, so it doesn't make sense any more. I thought it would have been your – well, our – our baby, so when I put it together with the missing pills it made sense. But now I know you still are on the pill, and hopefully will be for the next six months or so, who's baby would it be?' Zed asked me.

'Fin,' I muttered, before nodding to myself. It would be Finley's baby. That would make perfect sense, we would be looking after both Finley and the baby a bit I would assume, and we would always be around their house. When Finley goes on maternity leave, she would be bored shitless. She could barely sit still for a few minutes, let alone a month or two just waiting for the baby to make an appearance. Even after the baby was born, she would still want to be around people who wouldn't scream bloody murder because they were hungry or they were tired.

'Did you say... Fin? Like... Finley?' Zed asked quietly and I hesitated.

'No,' I lied.

'Sky, is Finley pregnant?'

'I never said that,' I protested.

'She's pregnant!' Zed protested, grinning like a toddler who had just won the chocolate bar he had been sulking about not receiving. 'I'm going to have a niece or nephew!'

'Zed, please, shh, I didn't tell you!' I protested.

'Oh, how far is she? When did she tell you? You didn't tell me!' Zed protested but now he just looked happy.

'Zed, I have no idea, she told me this morning when you told me to go back to bed, and she asked me not to tell you until tonight, so you won't kill her for lifting heavy furniture later,' I whispered to him. 'Don't mention anything to her,'

'You're right, Finley, you're not lifting any heavy furniture,' Zed shouted.

'Sky, I'm killing you later,' Finley called back down and I sat down, hitting my head against the table. She had asked me to do one task, and I hadn't even managed to do that. I teared up, realising that was a fairly good ground to hate me on. Finley was very quick to stop trusting people once they had betrayed her, and as my closest friend apart from Phee, I didn't want to loose her. She sounded irritated.

'Sky, she won't hate you,' Zed said sitting next to me and I laughed slightly. There was great potential she might.

'She told me not to tell you,' I muttered.

'She's not angry,'

'You don't know what she's like,' I whispered and Zed hauled me up, hugging me tight.

'I'll go speak to her, Sky, she won't hate you,' He told me before brushing my hair. 'What is going on in your brain, Sky? This isn't you. You're not like this normally,' He told me ever so softly, hugging me tight into his chest. 'You're terrifying me, something's not right,'

'I'm just scared, Zed,' I whispered – what does he mean something not right with me? He hummed slightly, kissing my head.

'It'll be okay,' He whispered to me, pulling away. 'We'll have an early night as well, and start decorating tomorrow, you seem shattered,' Zed said to me softly and I shrugged – I was shattered. I was so tired that I could barely keep my eyes open and I wasn't thinking rationally. 'I'm sorry for yelling at you when I had no reason. You just seemed distant and I knew you were talking telepathically to Will and Finley, and I heard you thinking about a baby. I was just scared you weren't telling me something,' He muttered.

'You know I would tell you, Zed, you'd be the first person I would tell,' I said back and he kissed me softly.

'Good to know,'

'Sorry, er, I didn't realise we we're still... I'll just... go,' Finley must have crept down the stair and into the kitchen, just to see Zed and I embracing and kissing. I jumped back and Zed went straight over to her, who was standing there slightly awkward brushing her upper arm as she edged out the kitchen. Zed stopped her in her path with a bear hug.

'Congrats, Fin!' Zed said, swinging her around as she laughed slightly. 'I read Sky's mind,' He said softly, covering for me. Finley smiled slightly, hugging him back.

'Thanks, I guess, I don't know,' She muttered.

'How long until you can tell people?' Zed asked her and she sighed.

'Er – I have no idea. I was three weeks two weeks ago – so that would make me five. So another seven weeks until the twelve weeks, so seven weeks,' Finley said. 'Will's just booked the first doctor's appointment for next week,' She sighed, smiling slightly.

'Good, you deserve this happiness Fin,' Zed said, hugging her again. 'I'm only being nice to claim Godparent,'

'I guessed that,' She joked. She grabbed a bottle of water from the side before disappearing from the room, grinning all the time.

'Bless her – Mom and Dad will be so excited,' Zed said.

'Jesus Christ, that'll be so interesting when they find out,' I said, laughing slightly. 'I think everyone expected Diamond first, not little Finley,'

'If you could stop discussing me and get on with packing, that would be brilliant,' Finley called down the stairs and I heard Will's laughter from their bedroom, where they must be chilling around boxes as they had already taken down their bed which they were moving over to Georgetown. I thought of how much packing we still had left to do, and that was before the delivery vans were coming. I had decided that they first truck would take Will's stuff over to their new house, and we would have the second van at a later time because there was no hope in Hell we would ever meet that deadline.

'She's right, we do have to pack,' Zed told me and I nodded.

'And then sleep,' I sighed.

'And then sleep,' he agreed with me.

Hey! So er, this is a fanfiction I wrote a while ago after Crystal's book came out but I was always too scared to put it up - i'm too scared to put it up now to be honest with you, - but I done it anyway. What do you all think? Should I continue? I found this on my old laptop, and I can't really remember where it goes so I'm editing them as I go through, but do we like it so far? I mean, feel free to follow the story I would appreciate it.

So it's set after Seeking Crystal, and Finley is Will's soulfinder obviously. The story evolves around Sky and Zed and had Will and Finley as minor characters (they will back out of the story a bit more)

Please review and tell me what you think!

Thank you :)
