Zach POV

We were on the clock now. No use wasting time. We decided to divide into two groups. Myself, Grant, Nick, Jonas and my dad. Then Cam, Bex, Liz, Macey and Abby in the other. Joe had arrived to pick up Sean.

'Here you go' I handed Joe Sean's bag.

'Thank you. We have some toys and spare clothes already in his room at Gallagher. Hopefully that'll be enough' He raised his eyebrow at me. Basically saying how long is this going to take?

'I thought he was dead, Joe' I muttered

'I know. So did all of us' His gaze turned to see Cammie loading and reloading her gun.

'She shouldn't be a part of this' I hissed. Joe chuckled.

'Be my guest and try to stop her. You know that when Cammie puts her mind to something, then she will stick by it'

'But she's pregnant!' I exclaimed. Joe smirked at me.

'So you keep reminding her' I rolled my eyes. 'Cam didn't let being pregnant stop her from doing anything the first time, and it sure as hell won't stop her this time'

'Promise me that whatever happens, you'll-'

'I will' Joe cut me off 'Don't you worry about that. Just keep yourself alive'

Cam POV

Abby was right. For some reason I was unusually calm. I had reassembled my gun after cleaning it, and it was like riding a bike again. I remember how worried everyone was when I loaded my gun at Gallagher absentmindedly. It was easy.

'You okay, Cam?' Bex asked me. I nodded and loaded my gun. 'You sure?'

'How am I meant to be, Bex?' I asked 'None of us have been in this situation'

'You just seem too calm. That's all'

'I'm trying not to panic because that can affect the baby' I said calmly 'Damian Knight seems familiar to me'

'How so?' She asked 'Did you recognise his voice? Something he said?'

'No' I shook my head 'It was the calmness about him...it was so similar to Catherine. And despite everything, Catherine told me the truth and I have the same feeling now. I have to trust Damian's word'

'What if this is a whole trick? Separate you and Zach and then he attacks?'

I cocked my gun.

'Then I'll be ready' I told her.

'Cam' Zach came forward 'Can we talk?'

'I'll leave you two alone' Bex backed away. I watched her move away.

'I explained to Sean why we were going away for a while' I said.

'Good, I was going to as well'

'God, I hate lying to him' I sighed

'We're protecting him' Zach cupped my face 'That's all we can do'

'At his age, I was blending into crowds, finding secret passages. I was a spy. And he...he loves race cars and pancakes and climbing on monkey bars! He's a normal kid!'

'He's our kid Gallagher Girl, he's far from normal' Zach smirked playfully.

'You know what I mean' I rolled my eyes.

'I know' Zach pulled me into a hug and kissed the top of my head.

'Zach…' My voice cracked slightly. He pulled away slightly. His eyes were stormy.

'Don't' He whispered 'Whatever sentimental crap you want to say, don't. Save it for our reunion'

'But-'

'Please. For my sake' I searched his eyes and saw how scared he was as well. I nodded. Zach kissed my nose. His hands found the bump. He then squatted slightly.

'Now' He talked to the bump 'I want you to look after your mommy because I love her very much and if she's tired then she might not see something that's out of place, in our career, that's very bad' I found myself smiling 'I want you to be a good Goode and not kick her too hard, okay?' He kissed the bump.

'So I can't be soppy or sentimental but you can?' I raised my eyebrow at him. Zach connected his lips with mine for a brief moment. Before Zach could respond, our phones buzzed.

Clock's ticking.

'I love you Cammie' He said

'I love you too' I whispered, a single tear escaping. Zach brushed it away immediately. 'Come back this time' I pleaded. Zach gave a hollow laugh.

'Of course I'm coming back, Cam. Til death do us part, right?'

'Right'

Author's note: Cammie and Zach have had to say goodbye to each other for now...what has Damian got in store for them around the corner? Very short chapter this week, but hopefully Monday's will be longer. See you then xxx

GallaghergirlsEmbassyrowFan: Logan and Maddie were very cute. The meeting between Cam and Tina will not go the way that anyone will expect it too. I haven't planned too far ahead, but I can guarantee that both Zach and Cammie will end up in the hospital at one point xxx

Smiles180: I hate separating Cammie away from Sean, and he's a year older than the last time Cam left, therefore he'll understand it a little bit more xxx

GirafeRosie: Thank you so much! I love the bond that Cam has with her son xxx
