Wade had yet again found himself squirming in the doctor's office, when the doctor asked Zoe questions. It wasn't that he was uncomfortable with the questions being asked, it was that it sounded more like personal questions that really didn't concern him, even if Zoe had felt the need to tell him the same things repeatedly.

It was the soft beat of his baby's heart that brought tears to his eyes. He prided himself on being tough and his kid had already brought him to tears. The grip Zoe had on his hand suddenly tightened. He looked down at his girlfriend, quick to wipe her tears away. Zoe smiled, using her fingers to brush his tears away. After hearing such an incredible sound how could you not step up? He couldn't imagine not being a father to his child, no matter how old he was.

"I've never heard anything like it," Wade whispered. It was the first time either one had said a single word since walking into the clinic.

"Me either," Zoe stated, resting her hands on her belly. A smile played on her lips, feeling little feet pressing against her hand. She scooted closer to Wade on the bench they sat on. Taking his hand she placed it on her belly. He had yet to feel his child. Every time he tried, the kicking would stop.

"Wow!" Wade smiled, feeling tiny feet against the palm of his hand. Every second he seemed to be amazed with his child. With their hands resting on Zoe's belly, his lips found hers.

"You ready to get some baby things?" Zoe asked getting to her feet. She had some money saved up, Wade had the money he had been saving. They weren't buying everything today anyway. Looking for the most part, getting a few gender neutral items, since they didn't know the sex of their baby.

"Do you want to know the sex of our baby?" Wade asked, leaving their hands together.

"It would make all of this easier, so yea I want to know. Do you?" Zoe asked walking into the baby store, they had been near.

"Heck yes," he smirked. Looking around at all the baby items, overwhelmed him. He didn't know there was quite so many things. He happened to stop at a dark oak crib set. It was expensive, but that was the crib he wanted for his baby. "The nursery, what's the theme going to be?"

"Depends on the sex of the baby," Zoe answered. "The crib will fit with whatever the theme turns out to be." Wade smiled, looking around some more.

They hadn't walked out of the store with a lot of stuff. A few bags filled with diapers, bottles, pacifiers, baby blankets and a few onesies. He had insisted on paying for it. She was taking care of their little one, it was the least he could do.

"We haven't discussed baby names," Wade commented on the way home.

"I've thought about it and flipped through a baby name book, but I haven't seen a single name that I've liked," she answered. Between school, and working at the practice, she didn't have much time to focus on a name. They had time, it wasn't like they needed to find a name instantly.

"I haven't really thought about it. We could always brainstorm together."

"I'd like that," she answered resting her hand on his leg. He gave her a smile, focusing back on the road. He only ever had one other girlfriend, and things had never went as smoothly as they are with Zoe. He had been with God knows how many women but he had never felt the connection he had with Zoe. It wasn't because they shared a child together, he felt it when he first saw Zoe.

"How did the appointment go?" Harley asked looking up from his paper.

"Amazing. We heard the baby's heartbeat. It's been a long day and I just wanna lay down." It wasn't her excuse for leaving them alone, to hatch out whatever was going on with them, she really did need to lay down.

"Wade," Harley said curtly.

"Why don't you like me?" That wasn't suppose to be the way the words came out.

"It's not that I don't like you. I didn't expect you to get my daughter pregnant. So far you've done an amazing job in stepping up. It's just that..."

"I get to experience all the things, you never did?" Wade asked.

"It sounds a bit strange and weird, even childish. These are precious moments, as you're learning." Wade nodded thinking back to the last two appointments. He never thought he would experience any of this. He wanted to have kids, get married. He wanted it ask, he wasn't very optimistic about finding the right person to settle down with.

"They may seem like nothing, but they're huge all the same. Makes it more real every month. Whether she wants me to or not I'm going to take care of her and my child." They were his responsibility now, and they would be taken care of.

"If this was anything like it use to be, you'd be forced to marry her, before the baby was born."

"I'd marry her now." The words were out of his mouth before he could stop them. "I mean," he started to say, but he meant what he said. He found himself falling more and more for her everyday. He just wasn't ready for marriage. He was trying to focus on being a good boyfriend and an amazing father.

"It'll be our little secret," Harley chuckled. "She'd be lucky to have you by her side. She is lucky to have you there for her now."

"Thanks, Harley," Wade replied, heading upstairs. He slipped off his shoes joining Zoe in her bed. She had shifted to be in his embrace.

"Everything good?" She asked, resting her head against his chest.

"I think so," he told her softly.

"Good. I was thinking about names," she told him. "Every name I thought of I just didn't like or I couldn't find a middle name."

"About the name, whose last name is the baby going to have?" He asked. He was curious to know if the baby would have his last name or if he wouldn't even get to share his last name with his own child.

"Kinsella," Zoe told him. He smiled brightly hearing that. Zoe had thought about that and it was the least she could do.
