She nodded and looked out of the window, her right hand on her belly. Spike kept glancing over at her every now and then while he drove there.

"You okay?"

"My husband may be dying while I'm 8,5 months along.. what do you think?"

Spike nodded. "He'll be okay."

"He better be."

…

"How is he?" She asked Ed as she walked towards them in the waiting room.

Chris got up. "Zo, sit down."

"Don't you dare tell me what to do. There's only one person allowed to do that and he's in surgery. So how the hell is he doing?"

Ed shook his head. "I don't know."

"Then find out."

"Zo, sit down." Chris tried again.

"I don't want to sit, I want to know how my freaking husband is doing! You promised you'd keep him safe!"

"Zoë." Spike walked up to them, he had to park the car. "Sit down." He took her hand when she didn't listen to him.

"You would keep him safe, make sure he wouldn't get shot." She hit his chest with her fists a couple of times. "You promised!" Tears were streaming down her face. "Bastards.." She hit his chest again and again.

"Zo.." He pulled her against him, best he could.

"You promised.." She cried, not hitting him anymore. He pulled her in as close as he could and waited patiently until the crying subsided.

He sat down and pulled her on the chair next to him. "Come." She sat down. "Chris, can you ask the nurse for an update?"

"She blew me off last time.."

Ed turned to him. "Tell her his very pregnant wife is here, and she has to stay seated."

She looked up at Ed. "What happened?"

"I'm sorry Zo.." Sam said, his voice strained. "I.. I was too late.. and.. he was already shot.."

"What happened, Sam?"

"We thought we had one subject, so we called in his girlfriend. Sarge was talking to her, I figured out she was with him and was packing heat. By the time I had run back to the truck.. I walked in just as she fired the shot and I shot her.. I wasn't there in time, I'm sorry."

She looked at Spike. "Where were you?"

"Zo," Ed started. "it's not Spike's fault.."

"I know," She wiped away a tear. "I just want to know."

"I was with Chris."

Chris came back with a nurse. "Mrs Parker?" Zoë nodded. "I have called the OR for an update, one of them will come as soon as possible."

"Can't you tell me anything?"

"No, I'm afraid not."

Zoë nodded. "Thanks." The nurse smiled at her and left. "All we can do is wait."

They all nodded.

"Can someone call Jules for me? And Donna?"

Sam grabbed his phone. "I'll call Jules."

Ed nodded, grabbing his phone. "I'll call Donna."

Chris smiled at her. "I'll go get you something to drink."

She nodded as a thanks. She turned to Spike. "What if he dies?"

"He won't, he'll fight."

"What if he dies anyway? Sounds like it was pretty bad."

"He won't, Zo."

Zoë sighed. "But what if he does?" Spike opened his mouth. "Don't you dare say that he won't."

"I don't know." He said honestly. "You'll cry, grieve.. move on eventually, because you'll have two kids, and Dean, and Elise and Julie.. They'll all need you."

Zoë nodded. "I don't think I can do that, move on."

He smiled. "You won't have to."

Ed and Sam walked back to them. "They'll be here soon."

"Sam, was he still conscious when you saw him?"

"No."

"Where was he shot?"

Sam glanced at Ed, he had told Sam not to tell her.

"Zoe?"

She looked up to see Owen walk towards her. Sam let out a breath, relieved he didn't have to answer.

"Look at you, all big and pregnant." He smiled but it faltered when he saw she had been crying. "What's wrong?"

"I need a favour."

"Anything."

"I need you to find out how Greg is doing, I asked the nurse.. said she called up to the OR.."

"He's in surgery?"

She nodded. "Got shot."

"Sure, I'll find out."

"Owen?" He stopped and turned back. "Don't sugar-coat it."

"I won't." With that he walked off.

…

Zoë looked up when Spike told her Owen was back, another doctor was standing next to him. She remembered him, he was her neurosurgeon. "It can't be very good, last time I saw you I'd come out of a coma."

Owen smiled at her. "You remember Dr Shepherd?" She nodded. "He was one of Greg's surgeons."

"Mrs Parker, the bullet to his head.."

…

A/N Oeeeh… a bullet to his head?
