Zach POV
I held Cam and Sean close to me as we waited for Nick and Macey to finish sweeping the house. In the meantime we called everyone else, alerting them to the break in.
'Daddy?' Sean looked up at me
'Yes buddy?'
'Uncle Nick and Auntie Macey have been in our house for a long time' He shifted on my lap.
'I know, but they need to check everything'
'Why?' He asked
'Just to be sure'
'Why?'
'The front door was open and they want to make sure everything is where it's meant to be'
'Why?' He asked again. I suppress the urge to roll my eyes with his endless questions.
'Ow' Cammie hissed. Her hands to her stomach
'Are you okay?' I asked
'The baby kicked' Cam said.
'Can I feel?' Sean asked. Cammie nodded. I took Sean's hand and placed it gently on Cam's stomach. We waited a few minutes and then the baby kicked again. Sean withdrew his hand and giggled.
'He kicked me!' His eyes were wide.
'He?' Cam and I said in unison. Sean twiddled his thumbs nervously.
'Boys kick and the baby kicked, so I think it's a boy'
'All baby's kick' Cam told him
'But girls don't kick and they don't punch'
'You've kept him really in the dark about your life haven't you?' I asked Cam. She glared at me but quickly put a smile on her face for Sean.
'Girls can do just as much as boys, sweetie' She told him 'I beat daddy up a few times and Grandpa Joe and Grandpa Ed'
'Really?' Sean's eyes were so wide, they looked like they were going to pop out. Sean looked at me. I shrugged.
'It's true' I told him.
'Wow' He looked back at the bump 'I think I want a sister now'
Cam chuckled. I kissed her head as she snuggled into me more.
...
It was 10 minutes later when my dad arrived. We told Sean to stay in the car so we could talk to him.
'What happened? Are you all safe?' Edward asked
'We're good' Cammie said 'A little confused, but we're good'
'Nick and Macey are inside checking everything out' I said. He nodded.
'So the door was unlocked?'
'Yes' Cam said 'I remember locking it before I went to the park. Luckily Mace and Nick were close by' I looked past Cam to see Nick standing by the door. He waved his hand and beckoned us in. Cam took a few steps forward and then I stopped her.
'Someone has to stay with Sean' I told her
'And?' She looked at me plainly 'Why does it have to be me?'
'Um-'
'And if you say you're pregnant I will punch you in the throat' She threatened. I closed my mouth.
'I'll look after him' Macey came forward. She tried to mask her emotions, but she was quite pale.
I shared a look with my dad. 'Sean's bedroom' She said. Immediately I felt my blood run cold. Cammie gave a shuttered breath.
'Are you sure you want to come?' I asked. Cammie blinked a few times, took a deep breath and then marched towards the house. Myself and Edward followed after her.
...
Nick was leaning against the doorframe of Sean's room. The door was closed behind him.
'Open the door please, Nick' Cam asked. Nick folded his arms.
'Cam, I don't think you should go in there'
'Let her in Nick' I told him when I got upstairs. Nick raised his eyebrow giving me the on-your-head-be-it look. Nick opened the door. I placed my hand on the base of Cammie's back as we walked into the room. All of the furniture was in place, Sean's toys were where he left them, scattered on the floor. But there were some things out of place.
On Sean's bed was Cam's CIA ID as well as my gun and her gun which had been dismantled and all of the pieces placed carefully on the bed. Above Sean's bed was a canvas print of Cam and him when Sean was first born, and it's hung there perfectly in place...until today. The canvas was stabbed with a knife that still hung there, hanging from the knife was a photo of me. The words Found you were written across the canvas in black ink.
'You need to tell me everything that you know, Zach' Cam spun around 'And you need to tell me now'
Author's Note: The Goode's aren't safe anymore. What will Cam and Zach do? Will they go alone or will they take friends with them? What about Karis, where has she disappeared to? Find out Monday xxx
Zamieotp: Not If I Save You First is SOOOOOOOO good! I hope she makes it into a series because the characters are just so appealing. xxx
embassygirl7: Thank you so much! I'm glad that you are enjoying this story as much as the first one. I've got a lot planned! xxx
GallaghergirlsEmbassyrowFan: Catherine is already dead in this story. This series is kind of like an alternative universe after the 6 books. Zach and Cammie's feelings towards each other and how passionate they are has always been something that I've admired. Ally Carter writes them so well! xxx
Smiles180: What do you think will happen next? I'm just glad that Zach and Cam seem to be communicating a lot more with each other xxx
4EverAGallagherGirl: Literally any disney film sums up my childhood (that and some classics like The Wizard of Oz). Thank you so much! I'm trying to balance the drama, romance, action and humour all in one go whilst keeping up the suspense and mystery. Since writing, I have a new found appreciation for authors who constract vast worlds, like Ally does. Her latest book is amazing! I am so obsessed with it that I want to read it again. I've recommended it to so many people and I can't wait to talk about it. xxx
