For the last ten minutes the car ride had been filled with complete silence. Zoe was freaking out on what Harley's reaction was going to be. Wade was waiting to say anything until Zoe relaxed. He did hold her hand in his. The doctor in Mobile had told them what they already knew.

"As a family, we are in this together, Zoe." She smiled and relaxed hearing him speak.

"I know, I'm not worried about us, it's my Dad. I don't want him to be mad at me or you because of this."

"As a father, he won't be."

"How do you know that?" She asked, carefully sizing him up.

"Because I'm a father and I understand the while fatherly stuff," he told her in a duh tone with a shrug. Zoe shook her head.

"Wade you have been a father for one year and my Dad has been a father for the past 19 years. I think there's a little more difference there."

"That wasn't the point Zo," Wade sighed, pulling up to the house. "The point in the all of this; he may be upset, but at the end of the day we can't change this and secondly we are adults now. He can't exactly punish you. We will find away for all of this to work out." She nodded, wiping the tears that had spilled over away.

"I'm not afraid of adapting with a second child and going to school. It'll work out, it has to. I hate disappointing my Dad, that's all I've done."

"Your father is proud of you. He brags to the townspeople about you, Zo." She never knew that. "Why don't you go rest and I'll go get Zach."

"Don't tell your Dad about this, please?" Zoe begged. They were a family now and things like this would be told together, unlike last time.

"I won't," he whispered pressing his lips against hers.

Just like he promised, he didn't tell his father about his news but he had an idea all his own. And he needed that favor from his Dad, who was more than willing to help his son out.

"Go give it to Mommy," Wade whispered, placing Zach on the floor. The little boy took off on a run through the house.

"Mommy!" He yelled, finding her in the kitchen.

"What do you have, baby?" Zoe asked, taking the velvet box from her son. "Wade!" She gasped, seeing the simple diamond ring in the box.

"What do you say? Marry me?" He asked, stepping closer to her. She nodded, pulling his face to hers, her lips in search of his.

She sat on the couch doing her school work watching her fiancé and her son zonked out on the floor. She loved them with everything she had. It was crazy to think how much her life had changed since moving here. Most the time she never had to think, because she was living it. Needing a break from her work, she went on a little walk.

"Life gets hectic at times. Everything lays right there in front of you all at the same time. It's been pretty crazy. But in a good way. I'm marrying your son, he only just asked me so I don't know any of the plans as of yet. And on top of that," Zoe explained only stopping to look around to make sure that the coast was clear. "There's another little baby, starting his or her life. I really hope it's a girl this time," she whispered, a smile on her lips.

"Where'd you go?" Wade asked, the second Zoe walked into the house.

"Just for a walk," she replied, kissing his cheek.

"Your Dad has come for a visit." It was pretty much now. There was no point in waiting.

"We have some news," Zoe told him joining her Dad in the living room. She looked over at the little table in the corner seeing that Zach was busy coloring. Wade sat down holding her hand. He wasn't going to say a word until he had too.

"We're getting married and we're having another baby," Zoe told him fast.

"What?" Harley yelled, a smile gracing his lips.

"You're not mad?" Zoe asked, unsure what her Dad was thinking.

"Why should I be mad? You both are adults." Zoe sat stumped, looking at her father. She had worked herself up into a frenzy and thought for sure he would be mad at her. She didn't see it any other way. But he was happy and excited.

"No. You're not sick or dying are you?" She asked, cautiously looking him over. He looked healthy.

"No I'm not sick and I'm not dying. You are a young and capable adult. It never hurts to add to your family, sweetie. You and Wade have done this before, when the situation was harder. You're going to be fine this time around." Just like before, he didn't seem to upset about it all, but Zoe could see it in his eyes. "Life isn't planned, Zo. I have no reason to be mad because you are building a future for your family."

"You don't know how good that is. Because I had promised you that it would be years before we had more kids," she confessed.

"It's better they're closer in age anyway," he replied, getting up. "I do have to get back." Zoe gave him hug.

"We might as well go tell your father," Zoe told him. "Wade, just so you know, I'm happy, excited to start this new part of our lives together."

"Me too, Zo, me too," he replied with a kiss that held all his love for her.

They had decided to walk since it was nice out. Half way into the walk Zach got tired of walking, he had insisted on walking. Wade gave him a piggy back ride.

"Not that I don't enjoy this little visit and all the others but something must bring you by," Earl smirked, meeting them on the porch.

"A few things, actually," Wade told him, holding the door open for Zoe.

"I see you went through asking, congrats on that," he replied, looking from Zoe's left hand to both of them. Zach had ran straight to the toys that Grandpa Earl kept for him.

"Zach did the work," Wade smirked, lacing his fingers with hers. "But there's some thing else as well," he said, turning serious. This was the first time all day that he felt nervous.

"Zoe's pregnant, isn't she?"

"How'd you know that?" Zoe asked after a few minutes of silence.

"What else is there to say? You guys ain't moving, no one is sick or injured. It was pretty easy to figure out," he shrugged. "Congrats. It's going to be harder, but you guys will be just fine."

"Thanks, Dad," Wade told him with a grin plastered on his face. This wasn't how he pictured life to turn out before the age of twenty, but now he couldn't picture it any other way.
