Chapter 13

(A/N: Thanks guys for the reviews! This chapter might be a little short but the next chapter will make up for it.)

P.O.V of Cameron Morgan

After Catherine shot me, everything was a blur. The last thing I remember is telling Zach that I loved him, and I'm not even sure if I said it. So when I woke up in a hospital bed hearing a steady beep from a monitor, I was very confused. It was night time. There were nurses and doctors in the hall talking about patients and surgeries. When I sat up, there was a shot of pain that went through my left side, but it quickly went away. Once I got myself up right I saw a person sprawled out on a chair. It was Zach. I decided not to wake him, but it was as if he already I knew I was awake.

"Cammie?" He said groggily

"Yes?" I said. For a girl that had been shot, I sounded pretty normal. It didn't take him long to run to my bed side.

"You're awake!" he said with enthusiasm.

"How long was I out?" I grasped his hand.

"Only 3 days. They thought you wouldn't wake up until tomorrow, that's why everyone else is at home right now," he gripped my hand harder.

"Is she up?" asked a nurse.

"That's why I'm sitting up straight," I told her, pointing out the obvious. She checked me out and said I made a good recovery. She went to go call the others for us.

"Cammie, I understand if you don't want to marry me anymore," he said once the nurse left. Was he crazy?

"ZACHARY GOODE WHY WOULD YOU THINK LIKE THAT?" was he out of his mind?

"After what my mother did to you and all I would think you wouldn't want to marry me anymore," Okay its official he has lost it.

"Zach I'm not marrying your mother, I'm marrying you. Two complete different people. And people always complain about their in-laws, so it's technically natural," I said with a smile. He kissed my forehead, then my cheek, and then softly on my lips. Yes of course I would marry him, just as long as his mother doesn't plan the wedding.

"You'll never guess who your father in-law is," he said jokingly. Father in-law? I thought Zach didn't have a dad. He saw the confusion on my face.

"Townsend is my dad," my jaw dropped. Edward Townsend, Circle of Cavan hunter, had a child with one of the Circle's leaders? This is just getting weirder and weirder. But we both laughed.

"And the award goes to Zach Goode for the most dysfunctional family," I teased. He cracked up even harder. I haven't heard him laugh like that in a long time.

"So what did happen after I got shot?" I asked taking a more serious tone.

"Well you almost gave me a heart attack when you almost died," he paused. Then gave a smirk, I smiled back. "We took custody of Catherine and Josh. They're still waiting for their trial, but they are definitely going away for a long time. They also got Nabokov, Macey and Nick went while we got you in Milan," he finished. Then he climbed into bed with me and I fell asleep in his arms.

When I woke up, Zach wasn't there. But my mother, Aunt Abby, Joe, Bex, Grant, and Liz were there.

"Hey kiddo," my mother said warmly while giving me a big hug.

"Hey squirt, looks like we can help plan each other's weddings," she jokes.

"Cammie! Thank the lord you are okay!" Liz exclaimed in her southern accent.

"Hey Cammie! I'm so glad you're okay," Grant said as he gave me a hug. Then Bex walked over. She didn't say anything for a few seconds, which is very unlike Bex.

"Next time I refuse to go as back up, slap me," she said and we laughed. She gave me a big hug. Then Macey, Nick, Jonas and Townsend walked in. They all greeted me. But there was still no Zach.

"Where's Zach?"

"He had to take care of some family issues," Townsend said. Oh god, like he didn't already have enough.

P.O.V of Zachary Goode

I walked down to the CIA custody holding center. My mother made a request of seeing me before her trial. This should be fun. It was like what you see in the movies. The person in custody as a deranged look, sitting behind a glass window, and talking to you over the phone. But unlike the usual visitors who are crying over the prisoner, I give her a stone cold look.

"Zachary," she said.

"Mother,"

"What happened to momma or mommy?"

"That stopped a long time ago,"

"I know. I miss those days Zach, that's why I did what I did! I just wanted my little boy back! The one who would beg me to tell him stories, the one who got afraid of lighting and ran to my bedroom, the one who always wanted to celebrate his birthday with me. I want that boy back. And Cameron took him away from me!" she was sobbing. The woman who is always cool, calm, collect, and evil is crying her eyes out, barley being able to speak. But I still have no sympathy for her.

"My hate for you started way before Cammie. By the way, we're still getting married. Also, I've been getting pretty close to Townsend. My father that you never told me about! Yeah that guy told me the whole story. You just decided to listen to the one your father told you. The man you always hated! It must be a genetics thing or something,"

"Zachary! I raised you! Not Townsend! And you cannot hate me! I am your mother," she was still talking but I just got up, I was done talking to her.

"Have a nice life in prison," I said. And with that I left. I could hear her screaming and pounding on the window for me to come back. I could hear her sob for me to come back. But it didn't matter. She decided her own fate. Now she has no son, and she knew exactly that that was going to happen. "You have to take responsibility of your own actions" is what she always told me.

(A/N: Next chapter will be longer! And one of the couples is getting hitched! And Catherine is not invited, big shocker right? Anyways, please leave a review! Thank you!)
