CHAPTER 4

"Zoe" max smiled as he walked over to Zoe in their usual smoking spot, around the side of the hospital and slid his arms around her waist

"don't touch me" zoe hesitated as max removed his hands from around her waist "just don't touch me" zoe repeated as she died her eyes making a quick dash around the corner near bumping in to Charlie who had come out to speak to max but had witnessed him and zoe.

"Aww, zoe" Charlie put his arms out as Zoe fell into them "it's going to be ok"

"No its not" Zoe tried not to cry as Charlie stroked her hair, resting his chin on top of her head "what am I going to do"

"You are going to do what you always to, soldier on!" Charlie raised his eyes up to max standing in front of them with her hands in his pockets and a shocked look on his face "zoe Hanna, can take whatever life throws at her"

"No" Zoe shook her head as she buried it into Charlie's chest

"Remember that's what you told me you always wanted, a family, and a child" Charlie whispered to Zoe once max had disappeared "you could have all that"

"Yes, I want a family" admitted zoe "but I don't want to be a single mum"

"You have me, Tess…..and max" Charlie tried to calm Zoe as he turned to face her

"MAX! You have got to be joking me!, he will run a mile when he finds out" zoe told Charlie "anything to do with responsibility…"

"Well, I am here for you"
