Cam POV
I had a quick shower and began to get dressed when the doorbell rang.
'Don't worry, I've got it!' Grant called. I quickly dried my hair and applied some make up. Before I left the room I studied my reflection in the mirror. The bump was just beginning to show. I smoothed my hand over my stomach remembering when I did it with Sean. The first time I saw the bump had brought tears to my eyes because I knew I was doing this alone. Not this time. Never again will I be alone. I moved across the landing to hear several voices trying to argue as quietly as possible
'What are you doing at my house?' Zach hissed
'It's an emergency' A female said
'You could have phoned me instead of showing up here!'
'So she still doesn't know?' There was slight amusement in her voice
'Know about what?' I asked coming down the stairs. Zach looked up at me like a rabbit caught in the headlights. His arms were braced against the door stopping a raven haired pixie cut girl from entering the house. She smiled at me
'Hi, you must be Cameron. Zach's told me all about you' She offered her hand. I just stared at it.
'What's going on?' I asked Zach. His jaw was tense and he didn't say anything.
'Daddy, auntie Bexy made some pancakes' Sean came bouncing into the corridor. Zach diverted his attention from the girl and I to pick Sean up.
'How big?' Zach asked. Sean bit his lip then extended his hands out. Zach's eyes widened in mock surprise 'Really? I think I can eat 10 of them'
'You probably could' The girl at the door chuckled. Zach glared at her. Sean looked over her in curiosity. Then knocked me for six with what came out of his mouth next;
'Hello Karis' Sean gave a small wave.
'You know her?' I asked Sean in shock. He nodded, again looking a little nervous. Like he'd been caught in a lie.
'She's daddy's special friend' Sean said innocently. Suddenly I felt my heart begin to shatter. The colour from Zach's face drained.
'Cam, it's not what you think' He said quickly.
'I don't want to hear it' I pushed passed him, scooping Sean up and heading into the kitchen where Bex and Grant were trying not to listen in. I placed Sean on Grant's lap. Both of them looked up at me in surprise.
'Cam, can you give me a chance to explain' Zach followed me into the kitchen.
'I don't want to hear it' I hissed grabbing my keys from the counter. 'I need some air' I turned to Bex 'Could you stay for a while?'
'Of course' Bex looked confused and very worried with what was going on. I headed to the back door.
'Cam' Zach grabbed my hand, trying to still me 'Let me explain' I shook my head and he released his grip, stepping back. I left through the back door, around the side gate and into my car. Zach didn't try to come after me. I drove for a little while until I was at the edge of the woods. I killed the engine, sat in silence. And then I broke...
Zach POV
The doorbell rang for the second time today.
'Don't worry, I've got it!' Grant called. I was sorting through some emails when I heard the unforgettable voice.
'Hi, is Zach home?' She asked.
'Um..' Grant said
'Don't worry' I patted him on the back. 'I can take it from here' Grant moved away back into the kitchen. I watched him go and then snapped my gaze to the woman at the door.
'Hey' Karis exhaled smiling 'I'm so glad that I could see you. Did you get a haircut?'
'What are you doing at my house?' I hissed. Her smile vanished
'It's an emergency'
'You could have phoned me instead of showing up here!'
'So she still doesn't know?' She smirked, raising her eyebrow
'Know about what?' Cam's voice drifted down the stairs. Shit. I looked back at her to see her eyes narrow. Her brain was already trying to piece together the picture in front of her.
'Hi, you must be Cameron. Zach's told me all about you' She offered her hand. Cam ignored it and turned to me
'What's going on?'
'Daddy, auntie Bexy made some pancakes' Sean coming into the situation was going to make it worse...I pushed those doubts to the back of my mind and picked up my son.
'How big?' Sean bit his lip then extended his hands out. 'Really? I think I can eat 10 of them'
'You probably could' Karis chuckled. I snapped my head in her direction and glared.
'Hello Karis' Sean gave a small wave. Double shit
'You know her?' Cam turned to Sean in shock. He nodded sheepishly.
'She's daddy's special friend' He told her innocently. I watched Cam's eyes cloud over. Triple Shit.
'Cam, it's not what you think' I said quickly
'I don't want to hear it' She pushed passed me and picked up Sean. I glared at Karis
'Get the hell off of my property' I hissed
'Look I'm sorry if your marriage is fucking up, but I need you to see this' She held up a brown file for me. I snatched it out of her hand and slammed the door in her surprised face. I then stormed into the kitchen
'Cam, can you give me a chance to explain'
'I don't want to hear it' She snapped grabbing her keys 'I need some air. Could you stay for a while?'
'Of course' Bex said. Cam headed to the back door
'Cam' I grabbed her hand 'Let me explain' She shook her head and I let go of her hand. She then darted out of back door and around the side of the house.
'What happened?' Bex hissed next to me.
'Daddy, why was Karis here?' Sean asked 'We normally see her in the park and she got me a plaster when I fell off my bike'
'I thought I recognised her!' Grant exclaimed 'Karis? As in Karis Jones' Grant questioned 'Isn't she the one who's just got back from the Portugal fiasco'
'Is she the one you've been talking to?' Bex asked
'How di-'
'Are you actually serious Zach?' She exclaimed throwing her arms in the air 'Do you not use your head properly? Cam told you that she was pregnant and you've been having phone calls with Karis Jones the office shitbag!'
'AUNTIE BEXY SAID A BAD WORD' Sean exclaimed
'Cam didn't give me a chance to explain!' I exclaimed defensively
'Can you blame her?' Bex scoffed 'Zach, Cam is absolutely terrified about losing you again and with what's going on recently, you've just given her more reason to believe it'
'Damn it!' I hit my hand on the table
'BAD WORD DADDY'
'Look, you stay here. I'll go out looking for her. She couldn't of gone far'
Author's note: Ohhhhhhhh shit is going to go down soon! I feel so sorry for Cam right now, but is everything as it appears...find out next week! Hopefully I'll be able to upload more than once a week after Twisted Fate is finished. I'm so excited for this story (it's already becoming one of my favs) xxx
Zachgoodet: I've missed your reviews so much! Hope everything's good with you! I home that Zammie makes up soon xxx
Cammie-Grace-Kat: This fight will break them apart but will inevitably bring them back together and stronger again. Do you think Zach was on the phone to this 'Karis' woman, or do you think it was someone else. Zammie's relationship is my favourite, and if you check out my other stories, you'll realise that I never make it easy for Zammie. Chaotic Order is my Sunday story and I'm trying to upload weekly (especially recently since I've been inspired) xxx
Smiles180: Poor Cammie having doubts about Zach's trust...and she's pregnant! My heart hurts for her! xxx
4EverAGallagherGirl: Cammie's always tried to do the best for Sean, and I think it's so sweet that their 'The Goode's'. CAMMIE IS PREGNANT! I'm excited for her! And I think that Sean is going to be the best big brother ever! I agree that Zach is nervous this time around, so perhaps him acting out of character is because he's scared. They had a little disagreement about the phonecall...but what will happen with Karis appearing at the door... xxx
