Cam POV
The whole car ride home I kept looking over my shoulders, checking my surroundings, stretching my instincts that I haven't used in a while.
'Mommy, are you okay?' Sean looked at me carefully.
'I'm fine' I smiled brightly
'You keep looking around' he said. I felt Nick and Macey in the front seats stiffen slightly, their ears tuning into the conversation.
'I'm just looking to see if daddy's on his way home' I said quickly 'He promised to be back for dinner'
'Oh, maybe I should look too!' Sean began to twist and turn looking out of the windows.
...
Nick pulled up outside our house just as Zach got out of the car. He beat us home by seconds.
'Daddy!' Sean bounced in his carseat. He banged on the window to grab Zach's attention. Zach looked up and smiled. Sean couldn't get out of his seat fast enough.
'Daddy!' Sean leapt into Zach's arms once he opened the door.
'Hey buddy, how was the park?'
'It was amazing! Uncle Nick helped me on the monkey bars. I made it all the way to the other end!'
'That's fantastic!' Zach gave him a kiss on the nose. Zach looked up at me, his smile disappeared and his brows furrowed.
'What's wrong?' He asked
'I'm just tired' I waved it away, but I gave him the We'll talk about it in private look.
'We're gonna head off' Macey pulled me into a hug 'Dinner with my parents' She pulled away and rolled her eyes.
'Have fun' I chuckled.
'See you later. Bye Zach, bye Sean'
'Bye Auntie Macey, bye Uncle Nick' Sean gave them both hugs
'See you soon, buddy' Nick said 'Maybe next time your dad can join us?' Nick and Zach shared a look between them. Zach nodded and smirked.
'I wouldn't miss it'
...
Macey and Nick drove away. As soon as they were out of sight, Zach pulled me to his side and gave me a long kiss.
'What was that for?' I asked
'I need to talk to you, and by the look on your face when you got out of the car, you need to talk to me too' He raised his eyebrow in a I'm right kind of way. I nodded.
'Mommy' Sean called from the front door
'Yes sweetie?' I asked
'You forgot to lock the door this morning' Suddenly my blood ran cold. I turned to Zach and he was wearing the same expression as me. Fear.
'Sean, step away from the door' I screamed at him. I rushed to scoop him up. Zach tossed me his keys.
'Wait in the car' He ordered. I followed his instructions and locked Sean and myself in the car. I watched as Zach moved into our house. He has no gun I thought.
I grabbed my phone and dialled Macey. They were the closest to us.
'Hey Cam, did you forget something?' She answered on the first ring.
'Mace, my front door was open' I whispered
'Nick turn the car around!' I heard her bark 'We're on our way'
'Mommy, what's happening?' Sean whispered 'Where's daddy?'
'Daddy's just gone to make sure that the house is okay, make sure all your toys are where they should be'
'Did my toys come alive? Like in Toy Story?' His eyes widened in wonder
'Something like that' I gave a small smile. Moments later, Macey and Nick roared onto our dive. Nick leapt out of the car and went into the house, his gun in position. Macey followed.
'Where's Uncle Nick and Auntie Macey going?'
'To help'
Zach POV
The front door wasn't broken or kicked in, and considering the profession Cam and I are in, our door was very, very secure which means that someone highly skilled knew how to get in...or had one of the keys that Liz specially designed to fit into the door.
I crept along the corridor, checking my surroundings twice before moving on. Nothing seemed to be out of place at all.
'Zach' Nick announced when he came in.
'Here' I emmerged from the kitchen 'Clear down here. I don't have a weapon so I don't want to check the rest of the house without one'
'I'll go and check upstairs' Nick said
'I'll check the garden. You should stay with Cam' Macey moved passed me. I moved back outside to check on Cammie and Sean.
'Downstairs was clear. Mace and Nick are checking the rest of the place' I moved a stray piece of hair away from Cam's face. 'Are you sure you locked the door?'
'Positive' She sounded almost insulted that I'd suggest otherwise
'Did one of our parents stop by?' I asked. Cam shook her head
'They would have texted' She wrapped her arms around herself, and glanced over her shoulder. Just that gesture made my heart skip a beat and my senses go into overdrive.
'Cam, what happened in the park today?' I held onto her arms
'I-'
'You haven't looked over your shoulder since the Tina incident. One of the traits you've been sloppy with recently. Why have you started again?' I asked. Cammie took a deep breath
'I saw a car with tinted windows while I was at the park'
'Was that all?'
'When I looked over, they sped away...but in that moment that I looked...I felt like someone was looking back at me'
'Shit' I muttered.
'DADDY SAID A BAD WORD!' Sean shouted. Cam pulled me a few metres away from the car.
'What are you worried about?' She probbed.
'Damian Knight...We think he's out for revenge. Which means, he's after me'
'And anyone close to you' Cammie finished for me. Her hand skated over the bump.
'Gallagher Girl' I held her by her forearms 'I promise that no one is going to hurt the kids or you. I will do everything I can to keep you safe'
'I'm not going through this pregnancy without you!' She screamed 'Not again' I stepped away from her and ran my fingers through my hair, frustrated.
'It's best if we stay as far away from each other as possible. I'll throw Damian of your scent'
'No' She grabbed my face 'You are not leaving, not after we've fixed everything that was broken'
'Gallag-'
''Til death do us part, Zach. I'm in this, ride or die. We'll think of something'
'Cam, you're pregnant' I felt as though I needed to remind her
'And you're my husband' She snapped 'If you don't want me in danger, then fine, I'll be your eyes and ears on the ground. I'll do research and stay behind a computer, but I am not leaving you Zach' She kissed me. 'I'm not leaving'
Author's note: I spent the weekend reading Ally's new book 'Not if I Save You First' And I really need someone the PM me so I can talk about it because I love it so much and Logan is now my second favourite male character in Ally's world (1st Zach, 2nd Logan, 3rd Alexei and 4th Hale). So if anyone has read it, then PLEASE drop me a PM! See you all on Thursday xxx
GallaghergirlEmbassyrowFan: Thank you so much! I'm glad that you are enjoying how I write the characters. In one of my new GG stories (that will be coming super soon) I'm writing in a style that I'm not used to, and the characters are ever so slightly different in personality, so I'm super excited yet at the same time very nervous for when I upload it xxx
Smiles180: Did you expect to tell her that quickly? I think that Zach read her body language so quickly and knew that something was wrong. I reckon that Cammie wouldn't have said anything for ages but Zach basically made her. xxx
GirafeRosie: It might be Damian...or it might be someone else...someone that Cammie will never forget...xxx
Forthelostones: Thank you xxx
Dreamer0704: I want her to just have the baby and for the Goode's to be happy...but I never make it easy for them xxx
4EverAGallagherGirl: I agree that Cammie is one of the best spies in the world. It might be someone who works for Damian. Hope you enjoyed this update xxx
flash 2.0: Thank you so much! xxx
