OOPS!

Chapter 7

AN: Just a heads up the second half of this chapter could have been done so much better but I wanted to post this story how I had originally written it.

Disclaimer: yeah Finding Sky is not mine.

Sky

The next month was torture for both of us, our parents had decided we needed to be punished so Zed wasn't allowed to take me to and from school and we weren't allowed to go to each other's houses either or meet up after school. We could only see each other in breaks between classes and we definitely weren't allowed to skip any classes to spend time together but at least I got my phone back so we could still keep in touch whenever we wanted, we just couldn't actually see each other. We both got jobs to try earn as much money as possible before the baby comes but Zed wasn't keen on me working, he said it was his job to look after us. He is such a caveman, if he was the only one working we wouldn't be able to afford anything.

The separation was hard on both of us but when it was time for my first scan our parents agreed that Zed should be allowed to come but I think they only did that because they knew we would just change the time and go together anyway. It was amazing. It still hadn't really sunk in yet that I was carrying a baby and it hit me when I lied down on the bed and Zed held my hand. I didn't look at the screen until I saw Zeds face change. It was like he couldn't believe what he was seeing and then he looked at me with a huge grin on his face so I had to look, and I saw it. Our baby. Mine and Zeds. It was real now. We'd seen it.

We were allowed to spend the rest of the day together but only if we showed our family the scan. Which we did of course. Zed couldn't wait to show his brothers, he kept pointing at the picture and asking everyone "who wants to see our baby?" he was a proud father already and there was still six months to go. We had decided that we wanted to wait until the baby was born to find out if it was a boy or a girl to make it even more exiting.

After that Zed was allowed to take me to and from school again but we still couldn't see each other outside of school for another month and neither of us seemed to be having any look reducing that sentence.

Zed wanted to tell everyone and show them all the scan but although I was excited about the baby I didn't want everyone to know yet. I liked keeping it a secret.

Zed

I was wandering aimlessly through the Ghost Town when Uri arrived calling me over to him. "So this is where you've been hiding, aren't you gonna show me your baby? Xav told me you couldn't get your grin off your face when you were showing everyone but you don't look too happy right now. You alright? Do you wanna talk about it?" Uri was always my hero among my older brothers, he was always the one I ran to when I needed someone. He's the most level headed of my brothers so he is probably the best one to talk to about this.

I pulled the scan out of my pocket and looked at it again and couldn't help smiling. This is my baby. My little baby. It's half of me and half of Sky. I couldn't stop looking at it. "Ah there's the proud father Xav told me about" Uri laughed. I handed him the scan and told him "that right there Uri is my baby, I made that, me and Sky made that" I was whispering by the end. Uri just had to go and ruin my awe though, just like all my brothers did, "really? That's a baby? It looks like an alien but I guess if you made it then im not surprised" he turned his head sideways and continued "Zed I hope this is a boy, from this angle it still looks like an alien. It's better for a boy to look like an alien than a girl." I wacked him round the head and laughed with him but then I remembered why I came up here and I sobered up.

Uri sighed and leant against a wall, arms folded over his chest and said the words that always broke the dam when I had something on my mind and he was there "alright spill you'll feel better".

By the time I was done we were both sat with our backs against the wall and it had started getting dark. Once I'd started I couldn't stop, I just kept talking and talking. About how I was afraid that Simon would try to convince Sky to have an abortion or to put the baby up for adoption. That he wouldn't let me be part of the baby's life or restrict when I could visit and how long I could stay over and that he would stop me staying the night to I help Sky when the baby woke up. I was worried about having my half my little family living at the other side of town and me not being there if something happened. For every worry I brought up Uri gave made me feel better about the situation. He told me I needed to tell Sky what I was worried about so we could work out if we were gonna live together, that even if Simon did try to interfere with us having the baby Sky wouldn't allow it.

We had been sitting in complete silence until Uri's stomach grumbled and he tapped my knee as he stood up, "come on Zeddie I'm starved and we've missed dinner, I hope mom saved us something." That's when I realized how late it was and that no one had called us and mom is very particular about us being on time for dinner, Uri must have told someone I needed him.

On the way back home Uri just randomly laughed to himself, when he noticed me looking at him he told me "you didn't kill me for calling you Zeddie, you haven't let anyone call you that without retaliating in years." Somehow Uri ended up on the floor "alright there big brother?" I grinned down at him. "Yeah" he huffed, "hell you're gonna be a dad. You are actually gonna be a dad. My baby brother is actually having a baby." He looked like he had been hit on the head by a tree "err Uri? I thought you knew that. You know what with the yelling the scan the pep talk?" I asked him. "Yeah of course I knew that but it just hit me is all, I always thought Trace would have a kid first or at least one of the older ones not you, you're the youngest of all of us. I'm kinda glad though, I have a foot if for favorite uncle" he grinned and ruffled my hair "I'm daddy's favorite brother."

The next day while I was driving Sky home I started telling her about my conversation with Uri the night before. I took her to the place I did the first time I drove her home from school ant we sat on a fallen tree. It turns out she was worried about the same things as me so we sat and talked for a while. We decided we wanted to live together – I am so glad she said that, I'd been afraid she would say she wasn't ready for that yet even though I knew we would live together eventually. She smacked me round the head and told me not to be so stupid when I told her I was afraid Simon would stop me seeing the baby, "no one is going to stop you seeing our baby Zed and if they try – which I'm sure they wont, they're more likely to yell at you if they think you're not there enough – then we will just move to your house, I'm sure Karla wouldn't mind having another baby in the house especially a grandchild."

Sky told me that she thought her parents would be more supportive if we were both at her house considering she is an only child and they would probably hate me forever if they thought I was taking their daughter away from them. So we decided we would live with Skys parents and stay over at my house every so often so mom would be satisfied she had enough time to smother her first grandchild in love (I think it goes without saying that I will most likely need some time away from Simons hostility to keep from being kicked out of his house).
