Chapter Five
Jack Kinsella was patting her face saying "Mama" over and over, it was a great way to be woken up Zoe Hart thought. She looked past Jack and seen that Wade wasn't in bed next to him. She heard water running in the bathroom that had to be Wade. "Mama" Jack said again with a pat to her face.
"Jack good morning" Zoe said kissing her little boy as she held his hands so he couldn't pat her face again. "Are you happy this morning?"
"Yes" Jack said as he freed his hands and held his Mother's face in his little hands and kissed her check.
"I see you're both up now" Wade said having just left the bathroom. "Come here little man time for a diaper change"
"No" Jack said laying his head on Zoe's chest "Mama"
"I'll change him" Zoe said jumping up out of bed then helping Jack down from the bed "Are the diapers up in his room?"
"I have some down here too, but if you want you can change him in his room" Wade said. Then showed Zoe up to Jack's room. His nursery had a crib a changing table a chest of drawers, a rocking chair and lots and lots of toys. The little boy was trying to show his Mama all his toys at once. Zoe could see a lot of love went into setting up Jack's room.
After his diaper change Zoe had set on the floor and let Jack bring over a few different toys they played together with them. She truly felt like things were finally making since again in life. Ever since Zoe had woke up from her coma, and finding out she had been in it for two years her whole world was spinning out of control. But being here with Jack and Wade who was just standing against the door frame watching them, the world was spinning normally again. This is what she had needed the Kinsella boys made everything feel normal and wonderful all at the same time.
Wade believed his smile was frozen in place on his face just being able to see Mother and Son play together like this was a dream come true. They truly fit together you would never know by looking at them that they just met last night. He hated breaking this little playtime up but it was getting time for breakfast at Lavon's. If he didn't show up at the plantation house Lavon would be banging at his door. That man loved his early morning playtime with Jack. Once Jack and him had slept in and Lavon had woke them up with his banging on the door wondering where they were.
"We haven't had time to talk this morning, but Lavon is waiting for us to have breakfast with him like Jack and me do everyday. Then he watchs Jack for me so I can shower. Do you want to come with us?" Wade ask not knowing if Zoe wanted to meet with Lavon yet. "His fiancee might be there too, I'm not sure if she stayed over last night are not"
"Lavon's engaged?" Zoe voiced her shock in the pitch of her tone. It had been over two years since she had seen Lavon, last she knew he was dating Annabeth but that didn't mean she was his fiancee a lot can and does happen in two years time.
"Yes he just proposed a few weeks ago" Wade said as he walked into Jack's room and bend down to pick up the baby.
"To whom?" Zoe asked not wanting to assume it was Annabeth, because if it was her she would go to breakfast they got along so well. But what if it was someone she didn't even know that would be awkward.
Wade smirked at her as he held their baby boy in his arms, "You may not believe this Doc, but Lemon Breeland"
"No way" Zoe shout out not believing what Wade just said. Jack hearing his Mother's shout of no joined in with his own "No"
"Yes little man and you know it" Wade answered his son as he tickled his stomach while holding him. "You helped Uncle Lavon with asking Auntie Lemon"
Zoe knew there was a story behind that statement she didn't even have to asks she just gave Wade a look with her arms crossed. Wade who had stopped tickling Jack raised a eyebrow at Zoe's pose.
"Lavon and Lemon were watching Jack for me, I had to close the Rammer Jammer that night. On those nights which I try to only schedule twice a week, Jack stays up at the plantation house in his room there." Wade started with as he tickled Jack some more.
"Lavon had been trying to think of ways for weeks on how to asks Lemon to marry him. I guess Jack seen where the ring was kept and on that night he showed Lemon."
Zoe looked at her laughing baby, he was surely a genius helping Lavon out like that. She kissed him on the forehead as soon as he stopped laughing.
"The whole town thought Jack was a hero, Lavon had been driving us all crazy with his ideas to propose to Lemon. He even tried a few out but something always came up that caused him not to get to asks." Wade laughed out.
"Because of that" Wade said holding Jack up "Jackie boy here is Lavon's best man at the wedding. "
Zoe couldn't stop laughing at that news, as she pictured just what kind of bachelor party a not even two year old would come up with for Lavon. She was sure Lemon would love that. Zoe felt a little jealous of Lavon, and even Lemon it seemed they have a close relationship with Jack they knew him better then she did.
Tears started falling from Zoe's eyes as she realized everyone in BlueBell knew her own son better then she did. Wade was confused one minute Zoe was laughing the next she full on crying. Setting Jack back on the floor he went to pull Zoe in his arms letting her cry on his shoulder.
"I've missed so much" Zoe moaned "everyone in BlueBell knows Jack better then me"
Wade just held Zoe closer hearing that, it hurt his heart knowing what she had said was true. It was not fair that it was true. Zoe had not abandoned her son, she was hurt and had a witch for a Mother who had kept them apart. None of those things were her fault.
"But none of those People does he call Mama" Wade supplied as he ran a hand down Zoe's back trying to comforted her. "None of them has he been waiting on to come home to him"
"And you did Zoe as soon as you could" Wade finished with as he pulled out of the hug and grabbed their son who had been trying to flee the room. You had to kept a eye on Jack every second he was always trying to get into some type of trouble. That boy was a Kinsella though and though.
"But what if Jack hates me for not being here for him" Zoe asks wiping her eyes.
Wade did not get a chance to answer that silly question because Jack put his arms out towards his Mother yelling "Mama" Zoe took her baby and held him close kissing his head. "Mama's right here Jack, and I will never be away from you like that again"
"Our boy here knows you love him Doc" Wade said proud of his son for showing Zoe he wanted her. Wade would do all he could to let Zoe be around their son getting to know him, and him getting to know her. "Why don't I call Lavon see if he's alone this morning if so you come have breakfast with all of us?"
Wade knew he couldn't keep Zoe's return a secret, they lived in a small town. Even if she just stayed inside the Carriage house someone would find her there. He did get company there well more like Jack got company people liked seeing his boy. Plus Jack's different babysitters might start wondering why they weren't needed any longer. Beside Zoe had spent two years under lock in key she needed to get out and see people and inner act with them. Well she had been in a coma for most of those two years, but she still needed to get back out into BlueBell this town would be so happy to see her up and around.
"Okay if he's alone I'll go" Zoe agreed as she kissed Jack's head again, Wade left the two of them in Jack's room going to find his phone to call Lavon. "Do you think Lavon will be happy to see me?" Zoe asked Jack.
"Von" was his answer as he kicked his feet wanting down to play with his toys again. So his Mother complied and let him down following behind. He grabbed a small football and threw it at Zoe, who caught it and then tossed it back but it just bounced off the small boy's chest. He looked at it on the floor then up at his Mother. Then he picked it up and threw it back at Zoe, this time after catching it she handed it back to her son. Jack smiled then threw it back to her again. They played this one side throwing game until Wade returned.
"You're in luck Doc, Lemon already left this morning something about a early delivery at Fancie's, so we have Lavon all to ourselves" Wade announced laughing as he watch Zoe handing the ball back to Jack. That boy would have you running all day chasing his throws if you would.
"Come on Jack time to go to Lavon's" the baby dropped the ball walked up to his Mother with his arms up wanting her to pick him up. Zoe did and walked to the door following Wade as he turned and headed down the stairs. Zoe was getting out of breathe from carrying Jack by the time they were only halfway to Lavon's. Wade noticed and took the baby from her.
"I'm okay, just not used to carrying Jack around yet. Give me a few days and I'm sure I can carry him around all of BlueBell." Zoe said knowing it would take her a little longer then that but that was what strollers were for. She was sure some of Jack's babysitters were going to be disappointed but how little they were going to be needed. At least for the next few weeks before she had to go ask Brick if he could use help at the practice. Because Zoe knew she would need a job so she could pay her own way, also so she could help take care of Jack. It wasn't fair Wade had to pay for everything Jack needed.
Zoe was nervous as she watched Wade open Lavon's kitchen door then walk in with Jack in his arms. She followed a few seconds later as she heard Lavon asking with his back turned to her Jack a question "What ya what for breakfast little man?"
Wade with Jack in his arms was facing her so she wasn't too surprised when Jack said with a finger pointing right at her "Mama"
"I can't cook that for ya" Lavon said laughing wondering where he got that idea from. "You want pancakes instead?"
"Mama" Jack said again this was followed by Zoe saying "I would love some pancakes"
Lavon thought he was hearing things until he saw the brilliant smile that shined from Wade's face, his friend had not been that happy in a long time. Turning slowly around he seen a sight he almost gave up hope every getting to see again Zoe Hart was standing in his kitchen asking for pancakes.
