Zach POV

'Why, what happened?' I asked calmly. If Bex found it hard to say it, then clearly it was something awful.

'Sean was born prematurely' Liz said, taking the role of bad-news deliverer. 'We were all at Bex and Grant's place relaxing when there was a knock at the door. It was something like one in the morning so we were all pretty confused. Grant answered the door and said it was the police, and they wanted to speak to Cam' Liz shook her head 'She went on the front steps to talk to them and a few minutes later she was screaming. Her waters had broke and none of us were prepared. Cam's delivery bag was at her house so we were all in the dark'

'What made her have the panic attack?' I asked

'We don't know' Bex muttered 'At that time we were all worried about Cam and the baby that we couldn't bring ourselves to ask' She shook her head again 'Townsend has been looking for those phoney cops since that night'

'How did they manage to find Cam?' I asked

'We couldn't work it out. I assume it was something about you' Liz shrugged

'Was Sean...was anything wrong with him when he was born?' I dreaded the answer, it would be a kick in the teeth if something else happened when I wasn't around

'Everything was fine. It was virtually a straightforward and uncomplicated birth. All I really looked for was ten toes, ten fingers and a heartbeat.'

'Wait, you delivered him?' I raised my eyebrow

'I read it in a book' She shrugged

'I have never seen Liz so serious and in control' Bex chuckled 'She slapped Grant and told him to man up'

'So you were all there for Sean's birth?' I couldn't hide the sadness in my voice. Bex sensed it and placed a comforting hand on my shoulder

'She loves you Zach. There was never anyone else in the picture. Every time the phone rang she jumped. I guess she was hoping to hear from you. Any news would have been good news'

'I've royally screwed up, haven't I?'

'Maybe' Bex pouted, she then smiled wickedly 'But I know how we can fix that'

Cam POV

'How are you feeling Cam?' Nick asked after jogging up the beach

'Good' I smiled 'How did Sean react?'

'Mace took him to look at toys'

'And Zach?' Grant asked. Nick scratched the back of his head

'Worried'

'Oh' Was all I could say, I turned to look back at the sea.

'YOU LOT, GET YOUR BUTT'S IN HERE' Bex shouted.

'It'll be okay Cam' Grant patted my shoulder.

'I hope so. I just want to know who's after Zach' I sighed

'Could they be after you?' Nick studied me carefully

'Why would you say that?'

'Well, Zach said that this person was keeping him away from you, and the break up basically destroyed you. Perhaps the person didn't realise that you had a kid and thought you just left the agency because of a broken heart'

'That sounds ridiculous, doesn't it?' I scoffed looking at Grant. He smiled nervously and rubbed the back of his neck

'It doesn't sound impossible Cam. I mean someone attacked your room and tried to shoot at your stepdad. And let's not forget the night Sean was born. It sounds to me like someone wanted you out of the picture' He pointed out. I sighed

'Can we keep this between us three? I don't want Bex or Zach going into full protective monster mode'

'Sure Cam. Come on let's go'

…

'Why were you three so long?' Macey groaned when we walked in. Bouncing Sean on her hip

'It's a beautiful sunset' Nick kissed her forehead

'Ew' Sean covered his eyes. I chuckled.

'Don't you like kisses?' I tickled him as I picked him up from Macey. He squealed and began to kick.

'Mommy stop!' He laughed

'Dinner's ready' Bex called. I stopped tickling Sean and put him down.

'What's for dinner?' Grant asked

'Spaghetti a la Baxter'

...

We sat around the table having polite conversations. Mainly it was Zach asking questions and us sharing stories. Sean loved the attention he was getting from his Aunts and Uncles. Once we'd all finished food and just sat around enjoying each other's company, Sean reached for his drink and ended up knocking it over; spilling it down his front

'Oopsie Daisy' He muttered, tears in his eyes

'It's okay' I soothed. 'It's just a bit of juice'

'But I ruined Auntie Macey's table' A few tears escaped.

'Hey Sean' Zach said, his voice soothing, his eyes focused on Sean 'You haven't ruined anything' He glanced at Sean's damp shirt 'Why don't we go up and get you changed? Maybe I could take you swimming?' He glanced up at me, his green eyes seeing right through me 'That's only if your mommy says yes' My breath caught in my throat. He studied me with his eyes. A thousand different feelings and emotions pulsed between us the briefest moments.

'Mommy' Sean's voice pulled me from my thoughts. 'Can I go?'

'Sure sweetie, just remember your armbands okay?'

'Yay!' He smiled proudly. Zach picked him up and took him upstairs. Both their laughter came tumbling down the stairs. They came down shortly after ready to go swimming.

'Anyone care to join?' Zach smirked.

'We will' Bex jumped up and grabbed my hand. Before I could say anything Macey had joined Bex with pushing me up the stairs. They shoved me into the first bedroom on the right. My baggage had been taken up here, as well as someone elses

'What have you got planned?' I eyed them both. They smiled at me innocently

'Nothing Cammie' Bex smiled

'But we do want you to go swimming with your son and Zach. Be a family' Macey eyed me suspiciously

'I-'

'Cameron' Bex glared at me 'You are not, in no way going to think of an excuse, because you don't have an excuse. Now put on this damn bikini and get your skinny butt into the water with your man and your kid.' Gulp.

Author's note: So Sean was born too early, and it was someone else's doing...could it be the same person texting Zach? Could Nick be onto something? Could Cam be the target and not Zach? Find out what happens more tomorrow xxx

Smiles180: It's so cute, I love that Bex has finally come around and began one of her plans to get Zach and Cammie back together. xxx

Zachgoodet: I don't think she tried to kill herself, she just panicked and ran. The horrible thing that Bex couldn't speak about was Sean's birth and everyone just didn't know what to do xxx

AllyCarterFan: I'll be buzzing even if she reads one chapter of any of my stories. What did you think of her latest upload? Sean has a mom who finds comfort in the shadows and Zach who justifies his knowledge by 'spy'...so Sean's observations are almost natural to him. I think Zach's going to make Cam forget about her worries very soon ;D. Thank you so much as always xxx
