Cam POV
'Cammie I'm sorry' Zach dropped my arm and sighed 'Look. I know I haven't been fair on you. I'm just scared. This experience is all new to me and I just don't know what to do' He held onto my hand again. 'Sometimes I feel like a spare part. You had everyone else last time and it's so easy for them to step in and help you, but it's harder for me because it's my first time' He sighed 'If I could do this all over again, I would and I'd do it better. I'd bring you breakfast in bed, I'd help you cook, I'd go to bed at a reasonable time, I'd go out in the middle of the night to get whatever food you were craving'
'You still can' I teased. Zach smiled.
'I would love you better than I have done. And I will love you better' He wrapped his arms around my waist 'I promise you' I smiled.
'Since we're apologising. I'm sorry I didn't listen to you when Karis showed up at the door. It's just that you looked like you'd been caught, and she seemed…' I furrowed my brow trying to think of the word. 'I don't know' I looked back at Zach 'I just don't trust her. My gut doesn't trust her'
'Or it could be the baby moving' Zach placed his hand gently on my stomach, rubbing small circles. I closed my eyes, enjoying and savouring the feeling. I opened my eyes to see Zach smirking widely at me.
'Nope. I'm sticking with my gut feeling' I smirked back at him. Zach chuckled and gave me a kiss on my nose.
'I love you, you know that right?' For some reason Zach seemed unsure. I nodded.
'I love you too' I said. Zach smiled again. His hands moved to cup my face.
'I'm going to kiss you now' He whispered. Zach gave me no time to reply or even think, he just tilted his head and connected our lips together. I smiled into the kiss. Despite the fact that Zach and I fight (and recently it's been a lot), we always manage to get back to the best version of us.
Although I was occupied in the kiss, my ears were attuned to all around, especially for a sudden change from laughter and music to silence. Zach and I pulled away. We looked and saw that everyone had stopped the party and were watching Zach and my little moment. I felt my cheeks darken.
'Thank fuc-'
'REBECCA' Joe, Rachel and Abby shouted. Sean giggled.
'Auntie Bexy was going to say a bad word' He covered his mouth to stop the giggles escaping more. I rolled my eyes.
'Aren't we meant to be celebrating an old man's birthday?' Zach clasped his hands together
'Hey, less of the old thank you very much' Joe came forward to give me a hug.
'Grandpa, you are old' Sean giggled. I felt Joe grimace in our hug. I chuckled.
'Yeah Grandpa' I whispered. Joe stepped back from the hug with fake-hurt on his face. Despite being a grandfather, Joe doesn't even look old enough to have a kid let alone a grandchild...well so does my mum in fact. The music turned back on.
'How's the baby?' Joe asked
'Don't know. I have the first scan next week'
'Will you get pictures?'
'If I do, I'll make sure to send you some' I smiled. Joe smiled back and gave me a light kiss on my forehead.
'That's my girl'
'Can we do the cake now?' Sean whined. He pulled on the hem of my dress. Thank goodness he doesn't have sticky fingers this time.
'Do you want to help me blow out the candles?' Joe asked. Sean's eyes lit up.
'YEAH!' Sean bounced up and down excitedly.
Sean and Joe moved across the hall again. My phone buzzed.
PRIVATE NUMBER
I looked at it and then looked at the others. Zach narrowed his eyes, Bex looked suspicious, and Liz was already getting her phone out to trace the call.
Hello I answered
Cameron? Hi, my name is-
I know who you are. I snarred. How did you get this number?
That's not important right now. I need to speak to Zach urgently.
Now why would you need to speak to my husband? Once I said this, Zach's eyebrows nearly hit the roof.
For fuck sake Cameron, I need to speak to Zach!
That's not the right tone to u-
'Hey!' I snapped at Zach as he took the phone from my hand.
'Stop being childish' Zach snapped back. He took my phone and moved away from the group. My blood was boiling.
'Who was that?' Bex asked
'Liz, are you still tracing the call?' I ignored Bex's question
'Yes, I am' Liz didn't look up.
'Cammie' Bex grabbed my arm 'Why was on the phone?'
'Karis' I whispered. I watched as Zach exited the ballroom to take the call outside.
'I've lost the signal' Liz whined. She looked up. 'Hey, where did Zach go?' She asked. I shook my head.
'He doesn't want us tracing the call or listen it' I turned back to everyone else, mainly focusing on Abby. 'Now do you think I'm paranoid?' I folded my arms across my chest. Abby looked past me at the door. Zach still hadn't re-entered.
'No' She said 'No I don't'
