Chapter Eleven
Wade Kinsella knew he was being unrational but just hearing Zoe Hart say George's name sent a wave of jealousy through him. He had thought he was over ever having been jealous of George Tucker. The man was one of his best friends they got along great, he knew for a fact George did not want Zoe. Wade hoped this feeling was just left over from the past and his past fears of losing Zoe to George.
"How about you and Jack come with me to the Rammer Jammer when I go back to work, I'll call Lavon to pick you both up later." Wade suggested as Jack started throwing his Mother's clothes around the bed some even made it to the floor.
"No Jack" Zoe grabbed the little boy "you want to take a break and play in your room for awhile?"
"Mama Yes" Jack answered in his Mother's arms smiling getting tired of helping put Mama's clothes away.
"Can Daddy play too?" Wade asks the Mother and Son duo both looked up at him.
"No" Jack said hugging his Mama closer he did not want to share his Mama with anyone.
"Yes you can" Zoe said then looked at Jack saying "We want to play with Daddy"
Wade laughed off the rejection from his son he knew one day he would leave him for a woman he just hadn't known it would be so soon. Because Wade understood wanting to have Zoe Hart all to ones self. But the boy was going to have to learn to share his Momma with his Father.
Wade followed them upstairs to Jack's room where the trio played in the little boy's room for over a hour. Then they went back downstairs to get more of Zoe clothes put away. They had just cleared off Zoe's bed when it was time for them to leave for the Rammer Jammer.
Zoe was setting next to Jack in the back of Wade's Suv keeping the baby company. His little hand was holding her bigger one giving her the courage to face what she knew would be coming ahead of her once she walked into the Rammer Jammer. It had to be done though she could not hide at the Carriage house forever. And as much as she loved being a Mother to Jack, Zoe knew she had to work to earn money. And being a Doctor in a small town the size of BlueBell was the perfect opportunity to being able to be both Mother and Doctor. That was something that Zoe had never thought of before Jack came into her life. Because being a Mother was more important then her career, something both of her parents well the two that raised her didn't agree with their careers meant more to them then she did.
"If you want Zoe you can come through the back door" Wade asked as they pulled into the back of the Rammer Jammer. "That way you can set in my office for awhile before coming out with Jack if you want"
Getting out of the Suv Zoe looked around it felt nice and warm out Wade was getting Jack's stroller so she walked around the Suv to get her baby out of his carseat. She opened the door and her heart swelled at the big smile Jack was giving her saying "Mama" with his little arms holding out towards her. She returned his smile with one of her own and got Jack got of his carseat.

You could hear a pin drop as Zoe pushed Jack in his stroller into the Rammer Jammer, Wade following in behind them having been holding the door open for them to go through. Zoe picked a empty table as Wade went and got a highchair for Jack to set in. Getting the boy setup in the highchair Wade kissed him on the forehead then turned to see the reaction from the customers of the Rammer Jammer.
Everyones mouths were open Dash who was at another table wasn't even trying to tape anything for his blog. His mouth was dropped open then when he noticed Wade looking at him he smiled this was the best news to come to BlueBell in years. Dash got up walked over to Zoe's table "Welcome Back Dr. Hart, BlueBell has sure missed you"
"Thank you Dash" Zoe said smiling knowing now with Dash here soon the whole town would know she had returned he was sure to share everything in his blog for everyone to read. On the downside he would want her to give a interview.
"When did you return?" Dash asked taking out his tape recorder.
"A few days ago" Zoe answered "I woke from my coma about seven months ago but just recently got out of the nursery facility I was staying in"
"Oh you poor dear" Dash said a tear in his eyes "Are you going back to work at the Doctor office?"
"I haven't gotten to talk to Brick yet I've just been getting to know my son for now. But I would love to return to work sometime as long as Brick will have me" Zoe answered.
"Wade how does it feel to have your Baby Mama back?" Dash asked turning to look at the bar owner.
"It's great Dash, Jack loves his Momma" Wade said "now I've got to get to work so please don't bother the Doc and my boy"
Wade walked towards the bar grabbing a pad and a menu returning to Zoe giving her the menu "We added a few items so take a look see if you would like to try any of them"
Dash had returned to his table every eye in the Rammer Jammer was on Zoe and Wade. Jack was just setting in the highchair slapping his little hands on the table top saying "Mama" over and over again so if anyone hadn't known who Zoe was they did now.
"So you decide on what you want for dinner yet Doc?" Wade asked pad and pen all ready to write.
"I see you added my favorite salad to the menu I'll have that with a ice tea" Zoe said then noticed also a kiddie menu at the bottom of the main menu. It had grilled cheese, chicken nuggets, hot dog, and a hamburger with a pick of a side of french fries or apple sauce.
"And Jack will have the grilled cheese in tiny pieces" Zoe said thinking the little boy might like that "with the fries of course. I'll let you pick what he will have to drink"
"Good choice Doc, I've been thinking Jack might like the grilled cheese" Wade walked back behind the bar to get their order in and grab them their drinks. When he brought the drinks back to the table Shula Whitaker was talking to Zoe. "I can't wait until you start back at the Practice, I love you being my Doctor"
"I'm just enjoying spending time with Jack right now" Zoe told Shula "I still have to talk to Brick about when he would like me to start work again"
"Yes that baby boy of yours is so cute, I just love him" Shula said as she patted Jack on the head the little boy looked at her like she was crazy.
"Here is your drinks" Wade said putting Zoe's ice tea in front of her and giving Jack a sippy cup full of watered down soda. "Hi Shula how's your day been?"
"Good but not as good as yours" Shula replied back "it's so good to see our Dr. Hart back where she belongs" Wade couldn't agree more with what Shula just said Zoe was back where she belonged.
"I think I see you order is up" Wade told Shula "I'll bring it to your table" Zoe smiled a thank you to Wade for getting Shula to leave her alone.
After their meal Zoe and Jack were hiding out in Wade's office so she would not have to be the main attraction of the night for everyone who came into the restaurant. After answering a dozen peoples different questions Zoe was wore out and most all had the same question put different ways all wanted to know when she would start at the Practice again. And Zoe did not have a answer for that at least until she talked to Brick she didn't. She had asked Wade if Brick came in to asks him to come to his office so she could talk to Brick about coming back to work. Wade had promised to tell Brick but so far no knock had come so Zoe didn't think Brick had showed up tonight.
It was getting late and Jack had crashed in his pack n play a few minutes ago, Zoe was thinking of calling Lavon to come get her and Jack when Wade walked in. "Hey Doc, I thought I would ran you and Jack back to the Carriage house then come back to work"
"I'll just call Lavon he can come get us" Zoe said not wanting Wade to have to leave the Rammer Jammer then return.
"Or I could take them" came a voice from the door frame both Wade and Zoe looked over to the door to see George Tucker standing there smiling.
"George" Zoe said getting up from behind Wade's desk to give him a quick hug "It's so good to see you"
"It's good to see you too Zoe" George replied "When I heard you were at the Rammer Jammer I couldn't believe it. I thought for sure Wade would have called me right away if it had been true"
"Sorry man but the last few days have been busy" Wade said feeling bad about leaving George out of the loop of Zoe's return.
"It's my fault" Zoe spoke up "I didn't want to tell anyone. I just wanted to spend time with my baby"
"No one can fault you for that Zoe" George said as he walked over to the pack n play looking at a sleeping Jack. "If you want I will take you both home? If you tell me where you're staying"
"I can take them home George" Wade said not liking the idea of George alone with Zoe "No need for you to cut your night with Annabeth short"
"AnnaBeth?" Zoe asks looking at Wade giving him the sink eye. How could he not tell her that George and Annabeth were dating. She had never dreamed those two would pair up in a romantic relationship. Zoe hadn't thought beyond Lavon for Annabeth but now seeing George he would be a good fit for her friend. Annabeth needed someone stable that she could count on and George other then when he dumped Lemon at the altar was that.
"Yes we've been dating for a few months now" George uttered as he went to pick up the sleeping baby "AnnaBeth isn't with me tonight she had a Belle meeting of some type instead. So it's just me I can take Zoe and Jack back home. But you still haven't told me where you're staying"
"Carriage house" Zoe answered.
"But Wade lives there" George turned to his friend asking "Did you move back to the Gate house?"
"No" Wade shook his head "buddy of course not. We just cleaned out the spare room"
"Oh" George said "that does make much more sense"
"Ya think" Wade sarcastically replied wanting to ripe his sleeping son from the other man's arms. Wade knew he could not let himself act on this new found jealousy. It wasn't fair to George who had been a great friend to him over the last two years. Wade just hoped that once Zoe and him had a chance to really talk and start a new relationship these feelings of jealously would leave him.
"If you're sure it's no trouble" Zoe said to George turning to Wade she said "I will see you in the morning" she kissed him quickly on the lips and was out his office door the next second.
George looked at Wade as he walked towards the door with Jack in his arms "You guys back together?" he asked.
"We're getting there we haven't had time to talk about it yet" Wade answered smiling it seemed like Zoe couldn't keep her lips off him. "but if I have anything to say about it we will be back together soon"
"By the looks of it Zoe wants that too" George laughed as he left Wade behind hoping things would work out this time for his two friends.
