Chapter Twelve

It seemed that everyone got new vehicles while Zoe Hart was in her coma because George Tucker was headed to a four door black truck instead of his old single cab one. "Nice truck" Zoe said as George motioned with his head for her to open the back passenger door. When she did she was surprised to find a carseat George had the sleeping Jack in it in a few minutes not as fast as Wade could but the baby only moaned a few times.

"Yeah I've had this new truck a few months now my old one gave up the ghost" George mumbled closing the door hoping it didn't wake Jack up. "AnnaBeth liked the four door model better, I had Jack's carseat in my old truck but it took up so much room"

"That was nice of you, I mean is nice of you to help Wade out so much with Jack" Zoe replied "The last few days I've been spending all my time with Jack. I just love him so much"

George got into the driver's seat and was taken back a little when Zoe got into the seat behind him so she could be setting in the back next to Jack instead of setting in the front passenger seat next to him. Looking into the review mirror he could see Zoe kiss Jack's head.

"Wade was telling me earlier that Brick didn't buy my half of the Practice like my Mother had told me is that true?" Zoe asks as George pulled out of the Rammer Jammer parking lot.

"No you still have your half, Brick would not buy it from your Mother not after the way she treated Wade" George answered as he was driving he could not see Zoe's eyes widen in the review mirror. "I know she is your Mother but how she could just bar any of us from seeing you and then just sneak you off and never letting Wade know where you where at she's a Witch"

"Yeah that's a nice word to described her" Zoe responded with knowing she might be able to get more out of George then she had Lavon. "Wade and I haven't gotten to really talk much about what he's been through with my Mother. Taking care of Jack and the Rammer Jammer hasn't given us a lot of time to talk"

"Well tomorrow is Thursday and I usually watch Jack for Wade, so why don't you two talk then. I'll pick up Jack at ten from the Carriage house" George volunteered all those two needed was a little time alone together and he was sure they would be getting back together.

"I guess if you're used to watching Jack then it will be okay" Zoe said knowing Wade and her needed to talk she had kissed him again she couldn't stop herself. There was just something about Wade that drawn her to him. He was sexy, funny, loving to their son, and treated them like they were the most important people in the world, because to him they were. The whole trust issue over his past cheating hadn't came to her mind at all today. Because Zoe knew she could trust this Wade he had grown up he had too having to take care of a baby does that to a person.

"Me and Jack are old friends, I just hope you're not like Wade calling every hour" George teased.

"No I'm going to be the cool parent" Zoe replied back "and I don't have your phone number"

"Well I'll make sure to give you my number before I take Jack tomorrow" George just finished saying as he pulled in front of the Carriage house. Zoe got out and went to unlock the front door while George got the sleeping baby out of the carseat.

"That's new" George said noticing the key in Zoe's hand.

"Yeah well I don't want any surprise visits from my Mom" Zoe answered holding open the door for George. He put a sleeping Jack on the couch after Zoe told him he didn't have to take the baby up to his room. "Thanks for bringing us home" Zoe told George right before he left the Mother and Son he wanted to get back to his boat before AnnaBeth got there for the night.

Zoe had replaced Jack onto her bed so she could get her night clothes on without worrying about him rolling off the couch. She put pillows all around him and made a fast ran into his bedroom for a clean diaper and p.j.'s for him as well. The little guy for the last two nights had slept in his clothes. Zoe changed into a night dress with a pair of shorts under after brushing her teeth not wanting to be away from Jack long enough to take a shower.

Changing the diaper and clothes of a sleeping toddler was not very easier he was deadweight but she finally got it done. Pulling the sheets back and getting both of them under it was simply Zoe made sure to put a pillow on Jack's other side since Wade wasn't sleeping beside him like he had the last two nights. Something Zoe had not let herself think about because it really wasn't anything sexual about it they were sleeping with their son. It was kind of cute how since she had returned Wade had slept with them, but that would change now, with Wade having his own new room upstairs. Zoe knew she would miss being able to open her eyes in the middle of the night and see Wade sleeping peacefully in the same bed as her.

Everything was so different now when she had left BlueBell Zoe knew a lot of time had past it seemed it had changed so much with it. So much was dislike what it had been when she left, Lavon was engaged to Lemon, he had been seeing AnnaBeth when she left and last talked to him. AnnaBeth was dating George Tucker which she never would have thought of being that AnnaBeth was such good friends with Lemon how had that came about? Last she knew George was still in love with Tansy, Zoe couldn't help but wonder if Tansy was with anyone new.

The only thing that seemed to have stayed the same was Wade still wanting to be with her. Thinking that brought a smile to Zoe's face that was the most important thing because as she closed her eyes and started falling asleep Zoe knew she could deal with all these new changes as long as she had Wade and Jack.

It was after two am when Wade unlocked the front door of the Carriage house quietly he didn't want to wake Zoe or Jack up. Wade made his way upstairs first stopping by Jack's room and finding like he already assumed Jack wasn't there. Next stop was his own room where he had forgotten all his clothes were laying on his bed. To tired to put those away he made his way back downstairs deciding he would sleep on the couch for the night.

Wade jumped when he heard a noise in the kitchen right after he laid down on the couch, getting up off the couch he walked to the kitchen hoping Jack hadn't woke up in got into the refrigerator. Instead he found Zoe there getting herself a drink "Hi Doc" he whisper.

Hearing his voice Zoe looked up putting the glass of water down "When did you get home?"

"Just a few minutes ago, I forgot I hadn't put my clothes away so I'm just gonna crash on the couch tonight" Wade noted heading back to what would be his bed for the night.

"Wade wait, you can sleep with Jack and Me again tonight" Zoe informed him "George offered to pick Jack up so he can babysit him tomorrow, so we can have time to talk"

"If your sure it doesn't bother you me sleeping with you?" Wade uttered hoping she wouldn't changed her mind.

"I wouldn't have offered if it did" Zoe voiced then turned and head back towards her new old bedroom.

"Okay then count me in" Wade spoke as he followed after her "So talk huh? We sure have lots of things to talk about" Wade just hoped one of them wasn't how great George Tucker was. He really needed to let go of his jealously over George, the man was with AnnaBeth they seemed happy together. That hadn't stopped George though when he had been with Lemon he had fallen in love with Zoe before. But things where different now, Wade reminded himself as he looked at his tiny sleeping son. Jack made everything different Zoe would not rush into a relationship with George Tucker when she had a son to think about. Also she kept kissing him that had to mean something Wade thought.

"I know but there never seems to be enough time for us to talk, can you take a few hours off tomorrow for us to talk?" Zoe asked getting into her side of the bed moving the pillow she had used to keep Jack in place out of the way.

"Yes tomorrow is when I do scheduling for the week I don't work behind the bar, George takes Jack on Thursdays for me to get that done. So I can take a few hours off in the morning. I can make them up by staying until five instead of taking off at three like I usually do"

"Wow" Zoe whispered in awe of how Wade had everything running like a well oiled clock. He had childcare all lined up but made sure to be able to spend time with his son as well. Plus from the looks of the Rammer Jammer he kept that place running just as well. Who knew Wade Kinsella could be such a great Daddy and business man?

Wade had foregone p.j.'s once again but this time he took of his pants he would just sleep in his boxer shorts and tee shirt he had on for the night. Once he had them off he slipped into the bed on the other side of Jack. Wade looked over to see that Zoe looked fast asleep already so he closed his own eyes he could use some sleep himself.

Zoe and Jack were in the bathroom the younger one was getting his very first bath from his Mother. She was trying to be quiet knowing Wade hadn't gotten in until 2 am and was still sound asleep in her bed. Lavon had dropped off two buttermilk muffins this morning, he had some Mayor duties he had to attend to so he wouldn't be able to watch Jack this morning. So after breakfast and some playtime in his room Zoe had picked a cute little outfit of jeans and a plaid shirt for Jack to wear. Next step was to get Jack clean that's where the bath came into play.

Zoe had found all his baby soap and shampoo in the cabinet in the bathroom along with a few bath toys. First Zoe got Jack nice and clean then she let him play with his bath toys he seemed to really like the little blue boat. He was splashing her so now she looked as if she too had taken a bath. But Zoe didn't mind it one bit she just enjoyed being able to do this with her son.

After having a splash war with Jack, Zoe seen the huge mess they had made and decided it was time to get the bathroom cleaned up. Jack being the very helpful toddler that he was tried to help his Mama soak up the water with using his bath towel. After he finished though he decided to wake his Dada up and took off with only his diaper on and wet hair with Zoe following after him.

Jack made it to Wade before Zoe could stop him patting his face saying "DaDa".

Zoe seized Jack off Wade "Let Daddy sleep" she whispered not noticing Wade's eyes cracked open "he worked late last night".

"Let's get you dressed then we can go play in your room again" Zoe was telling her son as she carried him back towards the bathroom. Wade's eyes never left them Zoe was all wet from what he guessed was Jack's bath the two looked so cute together. It was a sight he would like to wake to every morning. One hopefully he could take a step towards making happen today when Zoe and he had their talk later.

Wade closed his eyes he would try to get some more sleep he had a lot he had to get done today. The most important was his talk with Zoe, then getting the Rammer Jammer scheduling done for the week. The downside to all that was he wasn't getting to spend anytime with his boy. Tomorrow he was going to bring Jack to the park spend a few hours just him and his boy well Zoe could come along too if she wanted.

Wade slept for another hour then got up and jumped into the shower getting himself all cleaned up it wasn't until he had the towel around his waist did he remember all his clothes were now upstairs laying on his bed in his new room. So he had to make a run for it up the stairs he was stopped in his tracks when he saw Zoe with Jack in her arms standing outside Jack's door.

"Hi" Wade blurted out "forgot all my clothes were moved up here"

"Don't let us stop you" Zoe pronounced her eyes glued to his bare chest it looked just as good as she remembered if not better carrying Jack around sure helped his six pack out. It made Zoe a little self conscious her body did not look as good as two year ago, between having a baby and being in a coma, having a feeding tube, losing so much weight she knew her body wasn't the same. She didn't see how anyone would find her attractive with the shape her body was in.

Wade just smirked at Zoe having caught her starting at him then noticed the frown on her face "After I get dressed while don't we all have a family playtime together?"

"I was thinking more of you watching Jack so I can get a shower" Zoe voiced she was still dressed in her damp nightgown.

"Just give me five minutes and I can do that" Wade replied as he headed for his new bedroom, once in there he shut the door looked at his bed full of clothes he hadn't realized he had that many pants and shirts. He grabbed a pair of pants that were on top of a pile of them same with the shirt soon he was dressed and ready to go.

Walking into Jack's room Zoe stood up from playing with the baby, Wade took her place smiling as she left the room no words spoken between the two. "You sure have one hot Mama" Wade told his son with a sloppy smile on his face.
