Zoe sat on the couch, completely in a daze. She was pregnant. Pregnant, with no real idea who the father was. Her life was a mess, but even without either of the men, she was going to have a baby, someone who would reply completely and utterly on her.
The buzzing of the door alerted her to the fact this wasn't a dream. Nicks face greeted her as she pulled the door open, and he slowly punched her back against the wall, the same as every other time. "No, nick no" she struggled from his grasp and looked up at him "we need to talk" she whispered, unsure if he should know.
Nick sighed "you say it's wrong every time Zoe, but you know that you can't resist me and, I want you too" he told her, trying to give her a let up on her guilty conscious.
"No it's not that" she snapped, deciding just to be upfront "I'm pregnant" she told him, her voice quieting slightly. "I'm pregnant and I don't know who the father is" she whispered, the severity of her situation hitting her.
"Right, so you've been sleeping with Matt too then?" Nick asked, trying to do the math in his head.
"Well he is my fiancée, he has just as much right, if not more than you" she snapped at him, she felt behind guilty now. Chances were it was Nicks baby, but she wasn't sure if the prospect of this thrilled her or not.
Nick looked at her worried, he wasn't going to lose the chance of his child or see another man raise it would not happen "well what are you going to do?" He asked her.
"I have no idea" she admitted, looking at him sorrowfully "I can't tell him it might not be his" she whispered.

"Zoe" nick whispered, a few hours later shaking her gently. They had lay together in a companionable silence on her bed, he passed no judgement or tried to force her decision; he just held her against his chest and lay his hand over her abdomen where his child may have lay. "Zoe, there's someone at your door" he urged her to wake up, shaking her lightly.
"What?" She asked in confusion, nicks gentle shaking and the sound of the buzzer rousing her. She moved down stairs quickly, and opened the door "oh! Hello Matt!" She greeted, speaking a little to loudly to alert Nick of his presence.
"I think we need to talk" she whispered to him as he leant forward to kiss her.
"What's up babe?" He asked, taking her hands in his and looking down at her.
"I'm pregnant" she mumbled looking at the floor. She squealed as she felt herself being picked up and spun around.
"That's brilliant" he cried, kissing her again.
"No…no" Zoe pushed him away "I don't know if it's yours" she told him, watching his face fall.
