Life continued to go on as normal after Bex and Grant's wedding. The newlywed couple went on an all-expense paid honeymoon courtesy of Preston. Cammie entered her seventh month and started to get more uncomfortable. Her doctor was concerned that she would go into early labor, so she was put on bed rest. Zach watched over her diligently. Macey and Liz also came over daily in an effort to keep her entertained. Cammie hated staying in bed but was touched by her friends' concern for her. No one was really going on any missions, mainly due to Cammie. The possibility of one of them disappearing was too stressful for Cammie to handle, and none of them wanted to put the baby and her at risk. Of course, Cammie didn't know this. She just thought there was a lull as was sometimes common in working for the CIA.

This changed one March day when Zach got a call from the director of the CIA asking him to come in. He left his heavily pregnant wife in the care of Liz and Jonas and heading to the agency. Zach arrived and went through the proper security. After completing the check, he headed down to the director's office.

Zach opened the door carefully. The director was sitting there, a stern expression on his face. It seemed to be the man's default setting. "Ah, Zach nice to see you," he greeted coolly. Zach sat down before responding.

"The feeling is mutual." Truthfully, the feeling wasn't mutual because he had a feeling this was about a mission. Zach didn't want to go on any missions until Cammie had the baby. He knew having him gone would be too stressful for her. Cammie's doctor had said that she needed to relax more. A mission definitely wouldn't help with that.

"Now, I have a feeling that you know why I called down here." The director put a hand up to stop Zach from interrupting. "And I know that, due to Cammie's pregnancy, you are against going on any missions at the current moment. But, before you make up your mind, I think you should take a look at this." He slid a folder over to Zach, who opened it and began to look through it.

Its contents startled Zach. There were pictures of him and Cammie eating dinner in their house, pictures of Cammie, Bex, Macey, and Liz watching movies, and pictures of Cammie sleeping in their bed. One of them was as recently taken as yesterday. Zach knew this because Cammie had worn a brand-new maternity dress yesterday, and the dress was in the picture. He turned to the director and asked, "What do you need me to do?"

The man smiled. "I knew that would change your mind. The Circle is doing something at their headquarters in London. They're trying to arrange kidnapping plots for Cammie and yourself. What you need to do is break in there and find their main computer. Get into and save everything onto a disk. Bring it back to us. With the disk, we'll be able to track down the Circle and get rid of them for good. Kill anyone who gets in your way. You'll have plenty of back-up with you, not to mention our undercover agents in the Circle."

Zach nodded. "When do I leave?" He didn't want to go on this mission, but he knew he had to. Hopefully after this mission, Cammie and their child would always be safe. Zach wasn't going to tell Cammie where he was going; he was just going to say he was going to Africa to bring back some drug lord. That story wouldn't worry his wife that much.

"Tomorrow morning. The jet will be here waiting," the director replied. Zach got up and left without a word.

Of course, Zach did tell Jonas and Grant where he was really going. He wanted someone to know where he really was in case there was trouble. Both guys were against keeping this secret from their wives, but Zach managed to convince them to do it. Grant had pulled him aside and asked, "Are you sure you need to do this?"

"I want Cammie and our kid to be safe," Zach replied protectively. Grant nodded in understanding.

"Dude, just make sure you come back. Cammie would be a mess without you, especially pregnant, which would make Bex upset and that results in me sleeping on the couch because I'll most likely say something inconsiderate," he warned lightheartedly. The expression on his face was serious though.

"I will," Zach reassured his friend. He then put Bex and Grant in charge of Cammie until he got back.

Zach went home to find Cammie sitting at the counter eating a pan of brownies. He laughed at the sight but then wondered how she got there.

Cammie turned around and saw her husband standing by the wall looking slightly amused and worried at the same time. "Hi, honey!" she tried to greet him.

"What are you doing out of bed?" Zach asked sternly. Cammie was supposed to stay in bed and let whoever was around get stuff for her. In fact, Macey was the one who was supposed to be there, but he didn't see her anywhere. "Where's Macey?"

"She went to the store five minutes to pick up orange juice since we were out and I wanted some. I was napping until I remembered there was a pan of brownies Liz left in the kitchen. I was hungry, and there was no one to bring them to me, so I just walked and got them," Cammie replied casually.

"You weren't supposed to get out of bed…" Zach reminded her. "It's not good for the little one," he added, patting her huge stomach.

Cammie pouted. "I was hungry. And besides, it was only one time. It's not like I ran a marathon or something." She loved her husband's concern for her, but this was getting ridiculous. She wasn't even allowed to walk to the kitchen!

"You're supposed to be on a bed rest," Zach stated. After seeing his wife's face, he sighed and said, "But I guess the couch does count." He went over and lifted Cammie up and carried her to the couch, setting her down gently. Cammie wasn't that heavy considering she hadn't weighed much before the pregnancy. Zach handed her the tray of brownies. Cammie smiled and kissed her husband.

"Thank you." She saw how tired Zach looked and patted the spot next to her. "Come cuddle with me." He sat down next to her, and Cammie put her hand on his shoulder. They started to watch some stupid reality TV show. Suddenly, Cammie let out a small, "Oh!" Zach looked over at her nervously.

"Is something wrong? Is the baby okay?" Zach asked worriedly. Cammie gave him a reassuring smile.

"The baby kicked," she replied softly. "It's been doing more of that lately. The doctor said that will stop soon." Cammie grabbed her husband's hand and put it on her stomach. Zach could feel their kid kicking up a storm.

He looked at his wife. "I love that little person, and I love you," Zach whispered gently. Cammie smiled at the rare romantic gesure from her husband.

"You better," she replied playfully. "Because we love you too," Cammie added. The couple snuggled together and continued to watch tv. Zach decided to wait to tell Cammie he was leaving. It could wait until morning. He didn't feel like shattering the moment.
