Chapter Sixteen

George Tucker had just laughed off Wade's warning call that hurricane Zoe was on her way. He was sure that Wade was just exaggerating so he would embarrass himself in front of Zoe. So he wasn't prepared for when Zoe showed up with a take out bag in her hands. Jack and he had just finished their usually ham salad sandwich. The little boy was eating his chocolate bar being quiet as a mouse.

To say she had been upset at the choices he had made concerning the food he fed her son would be putting it mildly. She had given him a lecture on proper foods that a toddler Jack's age should be allowed and the amount of chocolate he should be allowed as well.

Hurricane Zoe had landed and all George could do was agree with the angry Mama Bear and promise to never feed Jack that size candy bar again until he was much older. He had never been so glad to see someone leave his office as he was when Zoe had taken Jack and left. She was a small woman in height but she really was scary when she got mad.

George's only hope now that Zoe was back if he would still be able to babysit for Jack was Wade, because if today was a indicator he might not pass the test of a babysitter for one Zoe Hart.

And he had always thought getting Wade's check up calls was bad, at least Wade didn't mind what you fed Jack as long as the kid didn't choke on it. It did not look like Jack was going to get a lay back cool parent both were going to be helicopter ones.

The poor kid, but then again he was a mix of Wade and Zoe so if anyone could get around them he was sure their protege could. George just hoped he would be able to get to spend time with the little guy since he loved him. It would not be fair if Zoe didn't allow him to be around Jack anymore.

With that thought in mind George picks up his phone and decides to call Wade he needs to get his side of the story in before Wade went home tonight and heard Zoe's.

Zoe had walked into Lavon's kitchen after getting Jack out of his stroller which she had used to get her baby boy up to the Plantation house. It was getting to be almost five o'clock and Wade would be home soon, knowing they needed to talk about her confrontation with George earlier she had decide to hide out at Lavon's. She might have been a little hard on George, he probable never wanted to talk to her again.

"Hello Lavon, anyone home?" Zoe called out seeing the empty kitchen, Jack also called out "Von".

No one answer either of their calls so it looked like Lavon wasn't home. "I guess we should head on home then Jack or we could maybe stay and watch some cartoons on Uncle Lavon's big screen tv"

"Yes" the toddler answered instantly.

So when six o'clock went by and there was no sign of Zoe or Jack and his suv was still parked in front of the Carriage house Wade made the walk up to Lavon's house. He knew Lavon and Lemon were at Fanice's tonight having dinner. Zoe had left her cell phone on the kitchen bar top. So he headed up to Lavon's after baking the frozen pizza he had stopped at the Dixie Stop to get for dinner tonight, it was only cheese but that was Jack's favorite.

He entered Lavon's kitchen and heard the tv from the living room playing some type of cartoon laughing silently Wade quietly got three plates out and found the pizza cutter. Setting to work getting the plates full of pizza, he cut Jack's up into little bites so the toddler could feed himself them.

"Pizza's here" Wade announced his presence as he carried the two plates with pizza on them into the living room putting them on Lavon's coffee table. Zoe whipped her head from the tv screen looking into Wade's smiling face. "There you go Doc, it's cheese Jack's favorite"

"Thanks" Zoe replied as Wade turned back towards the kitchen he returned a few minutes later with a water bottle he handed to Zoe and a sippy cup full of juice for Jack. He then turned back towards the kitchen returning a few minutes later with a slice of his own pizza with his own bottle of water.

"You forgot your phone at the Carriage house" Wade explained after he took a bite of his slice of pizza "Doc you really need to keep that on you especially when you have Jack with ya"

"Sorry" Zoe said in between bites of her pizza "I'll try to make sure I don't forget that again. And thanks for dinner I wasn't sure what to get"

"Dada" Jack said after finishing all his small bites of pizza holding his plate up a sign he was wanting more.

"Okay buddy, Daddy will get you more" Wade said getting up to grab the plate from Jack when all of a sudden Zoe jumped up saying "No let me do that you cooked dinner set down I'll get Jack more"

Zoe a few minutes later returned with Jack's pizza cut into small pieces she had already checked it was cool enough when she had cut it up. Jack smiled at her saying "Mama" as a thank you.

"Lavon and Lemon have a weekly date night on Thursdays, so I know to have something to make for dinner or bring home" Wade informed Zoe "They also like to spend Sunday nights alone, Lavon cooks for them"

"Does everyone now run on a schedule in BlueBell?" Zoe asked feeling like she had step into the twilight zone, everyone had their days and times to watch Jack.

"No smarty pants" Wade smirked at her "but when you live next door to Lavon you pick up on these things"

"Are you going to yell at me or not?" Zoe finally asked tired of pretending like everything was okay.

"Yell at your for what Doc? Forgetting your phone we've all done that at one time are another" Wade replied seeing that Jack had finished his pizza he picked up the little boy's plate. He walked the dirty dish into the kitchen sink leaving it there to return to the living room.

"No not about my phone, about George and him never wanting to watch Jack again" Zoe unloaded on him in one long breathe.

"Doc where did you get a crazy idea like that?" Wade asked shocked by her question "George called me after you picked up Jack worried you wouldn't let him babysit anymore. Just what did happen when you picked up our son?"

"Nothing" Zoe blurted out "I just gave George some rules on which foods where better for Jack to eat"

"Oh" Wade said laughing now his feelings of jealously over George starting to disappear, also it did explain George's call telling him he still wanted to be able to watch Jack and that he would follow Zoe's rules. Wade had no idea what that was about but now that he knew it was really funny. "You do know that Jack is a toddler, and they aren't known for eating only healthy foods"

"Yes but if we give him more healthy choices now and less candy he will grow up liking good foods not junk foods" Zoe stated sounding just like the Doctor she was. Wade didn't want to point out that Zoe had only been around Jack for a few days and hadn't seen him throw a tantrum yet. Because when their boy did not want to eat something he should could throw one.

"We can try, but I can't promise he will like your healthy foods" Wade told Zoe walking back towards Lavon's kitchen to get another slice of cheese pizza.

"If he doesn't it's because George has been feeding him candy" Zoe uttered not understanding how George could think giving a candy bar to a baby Jack's age was a good idea. "Did he asks the first time he gave him candy?"

Wade walked back into the living room with a mouthful of pizza glad he did because he did not want to admit he was the one that gave Jack his first taste of chocolate, he had given his boy some chocolate milk for his first birthday and the baby loved it. He just shrugged his shoulders in respond to Zoe question.

"Zoe listen George has been a part of Jack's life for the beginning and I guess feels kind of like he doesn't have to asks questions like what kinds of food he can eat" Wade answered trying to be truthful and not hurt Zoe's feelings at the same time. "We traded off feeding him his bottles that first night Jack was out of the hospital"

Hearing this Zoe started crying her pizza forgotten "I'm horrible" she wailed out. George had been there for her baby when she couldn't be and she had just told him off for giving Jack candy. Jack ran over to her hugging her saying "Mama no" he did not like her crying. Wade was impressed by his little boy going right to his Momma and comforting her, he would have liked too.

"Zoe don't cry you're not horrible, your Jack's Momma it's okay you want him to eat right" Wade pleaded with her feeling useless at the moment. "George understands that, don't worry"

"You sure he does?" Zoe asked quietly as she hugged Jack closer to herself.

"Yeah don't worry about Tucker he'll get use to your Mama Bear ways" Wade laughed out making Zoe give him a dirty look over Jack's head who she was holding on her lap now as he tried to feed his Mama her slice of pizza.

That night Zoe found herself alone in bed, both Kinsella men were sleeping upstairs in their bedrooms. She had wanted Jack to sleep with her again but Wade did have a point that Jack needed to sleep in his own bed once in a while. Beside she did not need to worry he would be upstairs right next door to their son. That just made Zoe feel more alone as she was the only one sleeping on the lower level now.

She had text Jess earlier to see how her day had been. The reply text was that she was good just had been working and she had not heard back for Zoe's Mother which was a plus. They had exchanged a few more text messages most about Jack, she did share her lecture to George about food and then feeling bad about it after. But Jess had texted her not to feel bad about being a good Mom.

That had made Zoe feel better, once she got settled more and back to work she might asked Jess to come visit BlueBell it would be nice to see her again face to face.

Closing her eyes Zoe tried to sleep but missed the feeling of her baby laying next to her. Maybe if she just went upstairs and checked on Jack for a few minutes she might be able to fall asleep. So with that idea in her head Zoe found herself in Jack's room looking over his crib. He was sound asleep in cute little blue pj's. He was just so perfect his little sandy colored hair he looked just like Wade all accept his eyes those were her's. She just loved him so much it hurt sometimes, but she couldn't help but love him. Zoe never wanted to leave his presence Jack was what made her world worth living.

Taking a seat in the rocking chair in the corner of Jack's room Zoe just looked at him through the bars of his crib sleeping. This was what she was missing since waking from her coma now everything made sense. She was supposed to be here be a Mother to Jack, and she wasn't sure where Wade and her stood but she knew both still had feelings for the other.

Wade was a topic she did not want to think on, but knew she couldn't ignore after all she lived with the man. He had made known to her he wanted more then friendship. That he had been waiting all this time for her to first return from New York, then for her to awaken from her coma. Not knowing all that time if she would ever wake up or that if she would forgive him for his cheating. But he still was waiting on her just the hope that she would kept him going.

Zoe knew that she could trust Wade, he wouldn't make the mistake of cheating again. But was she really ready to be in a relationship again, she wasn't good at them. Wade and her college boyfriend were really her only relationships and she had failed at both of them. Zoe had thought her relationship with Wade was going so great but really she had just been taking and taking, not really giving much back to Wade. What if she drove Wade away again with not making him feel loved.

Zoe knew that could not happen again they had Jack to think of now, they could not just jump back into a romantic relationship. Yet there was always this pull between them that they could not control. It was one of the reasons they always fought the sparks just had to come out somehow. With yelling at each other or with kisses.

Zoe forced herself to get up and headed back downstairs, once back into her bed she closed her eyes knowing tomorrow she would have to talk to Wade about their relationship.

Let me know if you think Zoe was a little to hard on George or not?
