What will we do?
"Zack is a dead man," Hodgins sighed. "What kind of flowers do you think he'll want for his funeral? Maybe I should go ask him before he tells Booth."
Sophia sent a glare at Hodgins before throwing the stupid stick at him that read positive. "Ugh," he said as he ducked, avoiding the flying pee stick. Angela laughed briefly before standing up to comfort Sophia but the girl just held up her hand.

"So you know Zack, that Sophia is my first child," Booth started out. "Even though I was not there for from the beginning she is still my precious little daughter who came to me in the dead of night."
Zack nodded his head not daring to say anything at the moment. It was all too terrifying for him even to think of anything. Booth continued noticing Zack's tense state. "You two are going to be married soon but until then you should know that there is be no physical contact in the bedroom between you two. Hugging, kissing…cuddling is okay," he seemed to have trouble even saying that but he went on. "More importantly, you have already committed your life to her, if you back out or do anything that ends up hurting Sophia, I will hunt you down and break you in half. Got it?"
"I will never leave her," he replied not out of fear but because he did truly love Sophia and just never thought it possible for him to leave her.
"Good, so what happened in the hospital? Is se okay?" Booth asked and fear overtook Zack's body.
"U-um, not a lot, we talked to the doctor and she took some blood sample," Zack said nervously. "We won't hear from her until tomorrow…" Booth nodded his head and then tried to some father-son bonding things but that failed and they just went their separate ways in the end.

"Please, I just need to talk to Zack. Can you tell everyone I'm not feeling well and need some rest, then tell Zack to come here immediately…" she sighed as she lay down and closed her eyes. Bones planted a kiss on her forehead before walking out along with Angela and Hodgins.
Angela conveyed Sophia's wishes and everyone left slowly, saying goodnight to Zack also wishing Sophia get better soon. Parker, Booth and Bones were last to leave. Booth made eye contact with Zack and gave a little nod of his head as a way of saying 'Don't you forget our little talk.' Zack gave a little nod back as if understanding completely before closing the door on them and locking it. He rushed into the bedroom and saw Sophia on the bed with a look of utter fear on her face. Her eyes were watery and he sat next to her, rubbing her back comfortingly.
"What is it Sophia?" he asked quietly after a few moments.
She raised those beautiful sad eyes to his and choked out, "I am pregnant." Zack froze up briefly and that was enough to cause Sophia to pull away from him.
"Sophia," he said but she looked away from him.
"How are we supposed to tell anyone?" she asked quietly. "How are we to prepare ourselves? Zack, we are too young to have a child yet. There is no room and our lives are not exactly fit for a child…"
"We can work it out…"
"How?"
They were silent, neither knowing how to even begin to answer that question.
