Cam POV
'Because I have footage of her visiting Tina a month ago' As soon as those words left Liz's mouth. I knew that my gut feeling about her was right.
'She...she what?' Macey couldn't believe what she was hearing.
'The guard said that Tina changed a month ago. That correlates with the timeline' Bex said.
'Cam?' Abby noticed that I'd gone very quiet. 'What's wrong?'
'She used my name' I muttered, my heart feeling heavy. I sat down in the closest chair 'How long was she in there for?' I asked
'Three hours' Liz told me. I closed my eyes.
'I need to go back and speak to Tina' I said
'ARE YOU MAD!' Bex exclaimed
'Now that I know who has seen her and what kind of drugs she's on, I can get through to her'
'How can you be so sure of that?' Bex asked. I opened my eyes and looked directly at her.
'Because Dr. Steve got through to me' I stated. Liz, Macey and Bex looked at one another.
'I can do it' I reassured them
'I agree' Abby said 'Now that we know who saw Tina, and we have some idea of what it was about, we are moving in the next direction'
'So everything is sort- OW' I began to speak but was cut off by a sharp pain in my stomach.
'Cammie!' Bex grabbed my arm to steady me.
'Owwwwwwwwwww' I hissed, clenching my teeth
'What's going on?'
'It's. The. Baby' I took deep breaths.
'Holy shit! What do we do? What do we do?' Macey asked. Liz slapped her across the face.
'Stop panicking' Liz said, taking charge 'Abby, call an ambulance. Macey pack an essentials bag. Bex and I will look after Cam' She clapped her hands 'Move!' She exclaimed.
'Deep breaths, Cam' Bex squeezed my hand
'Call. Zach.' I said
'Not until the ambulance is here' Bex said.
'Ambulance ETA is 3 minutes' Abby called.
'Owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww' I groaned, another wave of pain hitting me.
'You're going to be okay, Cam. You're going to be okay'
Zach POV
I paced my hotel room, the phone stuck in my hand waiting for news from the girls. Bex had phoned saying that they were taking Cammie into hospital and that I shouldn't worry. Obviously being told not to worry has the complete opposite effect.
'Any news?' Grant stuck his head around the door. I shook my head. He then left. I was thinking the worst, of course I was; Cammie was my wife and I wasn't there to help her. My phone buzzing shocked me. It was Bex. I answered it immediately.
'What's happened? Is Cam okay? Is the baby fine?' I asked rapidly.
'I'm fine, Zach' Cammie answered. Hearing her voice was a relief. I slumped onto the bed, my body feeling heavy
'You do not know how much it means to hear your voice' I said
'Sorry for scaring you'
'What happened?' I wondered. Cammie sighed
'The doctor said that the baby kicked an area of scar tissue which is connected to my abdominal muscles and they basically spasmed' I clenched my teeth knowing how much pain she was in just by the baby kicking normally. I can only imagine what it would be like for the baby to kick scar tissue.
'It felt like I was being tortured again' She told me. Her voice cracked. I sat up.
'I'm so, so, so sorry, Cam' I pinched the bridge of my nose and closed my eyes, hating myself.
'I know. So am I'
'What have they said to you?'
'Firstly, I had to explain about the scar tissue, which wasn't an easy thing to do. After the doctor was convinced by my answer, he the-
'He?' I raised my eyebrow. I could imagine Cam rolling her eyes
'Seriously? I'm in hospital and all you care about is that my doctor is male?'
'I'm kidding, Gallagher girl' I gave a chuckle 'Continue your story'
'Fine' She sighed 'He then told me that because of the severity of the scar tissue, this may be an ongoing occurrence as the baby is sitting slightly higher than last time'
'Basically if the baby kicks, you're going to feel like your being tortured?'
'Pretty much' She sighed 'After the baby is delivered, he recommends an operation to remove the tissue, said that it would ease the pain in that area'
'Damn it Cam, I wish I was there for you' I groaned
'Me too'
Both of us were silent for a while. Just content with hearing the other person breathing, content with knowing that we were both alive.
'We need to start thinking of names' I decided to change the subject.
'What were you thinking?' She asked
'Morgan?' I suggested 'Name works for a boy or a girl'
'Is that just because of me being named Cameron after mom's maiden name?' There was a hint of amusement in her voice.
'Morgan Goode, it's catchy right? Continues the tradition as well' I pointed out
'However, it means that our grandchild will be called Goode' She countered.
'Grandkids?' I raised my eyebrow 'So you're prepared to grow old with me, Gallagher girl?'
'That depends if I kill you first' She teased. I chuckled.
'Touche' I replied 'Maybe not Morgan then'
'Maybe not. Abby's going to try and get me checked out, I'll call you when I'm back at the hotel. Okay?'
'Take it easy, Cam. I love you'
'I will do. Love you too'
We hung up and I stared at the ceiling, watching the fan turn round and round. There was a knock at the door and my dad poked his head around.
'Any news?'
'Baby and Cam are okay' I said. My dad visibly sighed
'That's a relief. Do they know what it was?'
'Baby kicked old scar tissue, caused Cam a lot of pain'
'Oh'
'Yeah' I ran my hands through my hair 'I just want to be with her right now'
'I understand, but we-' Before he could finish the sentence, the burner phone rang.
'Damian' I hissed when I answered 'What the fuck do you want?'
'I've been trying to get a hold of Cameron but I can not'
'She's in the hospital' I snapped
'What?' He was shocked 'What happened?'
'It's your fault! If you hadn't come into this Cammie wouldn't be hurt!' I wanted him to feel as much pain and guilt that I felt by not being there with Cam. I wanted him to feel weak and useless.
'I apologise for what has happened to Cameron, how about we meet? I'll send you a location. Come alone' He hung up. A few seconds later, it buzzed with coordinates for our meeting. I grabbed my jacket and stormed out of the room.
'Where are you going?' Edward followed me. I grabbed the only set of car keys and my gun.
'To finish this'
Author's note: Poor Cammie. So she ended up in hospital buuuuut she will be back there (and so will Zach) for two very different reasons. Also, Zach is going after Damian for revenge...what will Cammie make of this when she finds out? Cammie will have to chose between seeing Tina, finding Karis and stopping Zach...not long left of this story. See you all Monday xxx
GirafeRosie: You might be extremely correct...there is something suspicious about the whole 'Tina being drugged' thing. Karis was always going to be a character that people hated, that was my intention xxx
GallaghergirlEmbassyrowFan: I don't think Karis will be prepared for what Cam has in store for her. Thank you so much! I'm glad that you loved it. Cammie will ask all of her questions soon xxx
Miss. L 2002: From the moment she appeared on their front doorstep, Karis Jones was going to cause trouble for Zammie...Will Karis go after Sean? IS SEAN SAFE? I did feel sorry for Tina in a way, she needed help and Karis took advantage of her vulnerability. All Damian wants is the data chip...what's on it? Why is it so valuable to him? I can tell you now that the baby's name will not be Morgan...xxx
Smiles180: When I was first thinking up Karis' character, I always pictured her to be a Tina wannabee, then as the story developed, I felt as though Karis was more sneakier that Tina could ever be. xxx
