Chapter 7

CPOV:

I hold my stomach. My beautiful baby is kicking around.

"Who's a happy baby today?" I coo at my belly.

Morgan jumps around us wanting to feel the baby kick.

"Want a feel, Morg?" He nods like crazy and runs towards us. I hold his hand in the place the baby kicks most often.

"Aww, Mama I like a new baby." My two year old wanted a new sibling. He was excited just like his mummy and daddy.

"Daddy likes a new baby too." Zach walks in from his two week mission. A smile appears on my face.

"DADA! I missed you." Zach picks him up and swings him up in the air and onto his shoulder.

I walk to the bathroom and went to pee.

Blood! Blood is everywhere. Everything goes black.

"Hello, Cammie, long time no see." Alice. Alice is here.

I haven't seen her in ages. She holds me tight.

"Don't worry the pain won't last long." Pain? What pain?

I am being held down on a table with my arms in handcuffs.

"Where's Zach and Morgan?" I try and sit up but I am stuck. My head is in a lock.

"They don't even realise your gone." They don't know I'm gone? Pain sears up my stomach. My baby.

"What is going on?" Someone is laughing.

"We are just helping you, Cammie." What is she helping me with? Why is my stomach hurting so much? Is my baby okay? "See Cammie we are just helping you. Say hello to your little baby boy." My baby boy?

"My baby boy?"

"Why yes Cammie. Here you are." I am given a small baby covered in blood not breathing, just still. Dead in my arms.

"My little Scotty. I love you. I'm so sorry. I didn't want you to go." Everything goes black again.

"Cammie? Where is Morgan?" I'm in bed. How did I get here? I need to get my baby back. I look at my stomach I know he really isn't there.

"I don't know." My small voice hardy reaches the landing. Tears are falling down my face.

"Cammie, what's wrong?"

"He's gone. Scotty's gone. It was Alice and now I've lost my baby boy." Zach's face turns to pure hatred towards me.

"And where is Morgan? Don't tell me you lost him too? How the hell could you be so stupid? I am leaving with him and we are never coming back. You can't even look after yourself how can I trust you look after our son? You let our unborn child get killed! I can never love you again. In fact I hate you as much as I hate Catherine. Good-bye Cameron." Zach walks out of the room after he grabs some clothes for him and Morgan. I cry myself to sleep.

ZPOV:

"CAMMIE! CAMMIE! Wake up, Cammie, you're having a nightmare." I heard her sobbing her eyes out and screaming for me not to go with Morgan. It was 03:47am and I was half asleep as well.

"MAMA! Dada what's wrong with mama?" Lucy was crying her eyes out at the sight of her distressed mother.

"Come here baby. You going to go and sleep with Pen and Sammy?" She nodded and I took her while Cammie continued to cry. "Go back to sleep, baby and I will come get you when mummy is feeling better." I ran back into our room and tried to wake Cammie up. "Cammie, come on wake up. You scaring me and you scared the shit out of Lucy." She wasn't waking up.

Bex?!

Yeah, it's me Zach. Why the hell are you phoning at 4 in the morning?

I need your help. Cammie is a nightmare she can't get out off. This has only happened once before after Scotty died. I need you to try and wake her. You were the only person who could wake her last time.

I'll be there in 5. Come down and let me in.

BPOV:

I ran to Cammie's. She was bad. She was never this bad. Ever. Zach opened the door and I ran upstairs without a single word to him.

"Cam, it's me, Bex. You need to wake up now and tell me what's going on. Cammie I have a bucket of ice water and I will drop it on your head." No good, she was still crying and kicking around. It looked like she was going to wake herself up any second now. "Zach. I need a jug of cold water and a flannel. She's about to wake up. I can feel it."

"ZACH! Zach, where are you? I'm so sorry. Please." Cammie screamed while jolting up into a sitting position.

"Cammie, take a second to breathe. Tell me what's wrong. I can help. I am your best friend."

"No, Bex, I have to find Zach and Morgan. I need to find them. I can't live without them." She got out of bed and ran down the stairs and straight into Zach.

ZPOV:

I heard Cammie scream and ran back upstairs with the flannel and water. She came crashing into me on the stairs.

"Zach, your still here."

"Of course I am, baby. I would never leave you."

"But Zach I lost Scotty. It was my entire fault and then I lost Morgan and then I lost both of you. You just left with him and left me." Bex took the water out of my hands and I picked Cammie up bridal style as she looked like she was about to pass out which she did the minute she was in my arms.

"Zach, keep wiping her head and saying how much you love her and when she comes back too again she should be back to her normal self. I am going home to have another hours sleep before my kids come and wake me up at some ungodly hour."

"Thanks Bex, I have no idea what I would do without you." She left with a quick hug. I sat there moping her forehead and watching her sleep.

"Mama better now?" Lucy came back in rubbing her eyes pulling along her blanket and her stuffed rabbit.

"Yeah, she is. She is sleeping now. Do you want to give mummy cuddle and go back to sleep?" she nodded and got back into our bed and fell asleep.

I fell asleep in the chair I was sat in so I could easily wipe Cammie's face.

"Zach?" My eyes shot open.

"Yeah, Cammie, you feeling better?" she nodded once and came and sat on my lap.

"I'm sorry about having a miscarriage. I'm sorry I wasn't good enough for our son. I'm sorry." She was crying her eyes out and pouring her heart out. Cammie had a miscarriage when Morgan was two. We had a baby boy called Scotty and it was almost his birthday and Cammie always got a bit defensive at this time. It wasn't her fault he wasn't developing properly and we were told he wasn't going to make it.

"Cams, it is not your fault. There was nothing we could have done and we have four other beautiful children who all carry a bit of Scotty in them and always will. He will always be their brother and he will always be our baby boy." Lucy was awake again as was sat looking at us. "Come then Lulu. I know you want to." Lucy climbed off the bed and joined our cuddle.

"Come on and let's go back to sleep. We have school tomorrow and daddy has to get ready for his mission in a few days." Cammie got down with Lucy and got back into bed. She held Lucy close to her chest and when I got in I held her close to mine.

***7:30***

Cammie was still asleep with Lucy. They both needed it after last night.

Hello, this is Mrs Morgan-Solomon speaking.

Hey, Rach, it's Zach.

Hey Kiddo, what's up? It's slightly earlier for calls. I was asleep, haha.

Sorry 'bout that. It's just about Cams.

What's wrong? Is she alright?

She's fine now but she didn't sleep well last night since tomorrow is Scotty's birthday and everything so she is still asleep and I don't plan on waking her up anytime soon. Also, Lucy isn't very well so she was in our room last night and she didn't sleep half the night. So, I'm not sure if they are coming in or not but they will be late because they are still sleeping. I was mainly phoning to make sure everything would be fine.

Zach, sweetheart, are you kidding me? Of course everything will be fine. My daughter and my granddaughter come first and if they are feeling ill or upset then I will get it all to work. Joe can take over Cove Ops today unless Cammie decides to come in.

Thanks Rach. I will try and bring them all round tonight if Cam doesn't come in or you guys come here and we have a family dinner. Dad, Abby and Sally as well.

Okay, kiddo, see you guys tonight and try and keep Cammie at home and help her relax.

I will, see you later then. Love you guys.

We love all of you too.

I had the twins up and eating breakfast.

"Right, guys, mummy and Lucy aren't very well today so when we come back from school you have to be extra quiet and extra good for daddy or you can go to aunty Macey's or aunty Liz's."

"Aunty Macey's because then we can play with Lilli!"

"Alrighty, then I will get her to pick you guys up with Lilli. I will talk to her when I drop you off. Now quick let's run and get you changed and off to school." I grabbed them both around the waist and ran up the stairs and chucked them on their beds.

"Again, daddy!"

"Later Pen at bed time we have to get ready for school now." They both wore dark blue Barbie jeans with bright pink tops with flowers on and white trainers. "Ready to go?" They both nodded. They ran into my room and went to give Cammie and Lucy a kiss.

"Mummy's still sleeping."

"Goode, now let's go before you two are late."

***at school***

"Mace, can the girls come to your after school? Cammie had a hard night last night. She was dreaming about Scotty and we couldn't wake her. Also Lucy was throwing up all night so they are both at home sleeping and I'm trying to keep it like that for as long as I can."

"Yeah of course they can. When have you ever had to give an explanation? Just keep me updated about Cam and Luc so I'm not worrying all day."

"Will do, I'm gunna go and make sure they are still asleep. I'll come get them at about 5:30ish. Don't need to feed them dinner; I'm doing a family meal so Cam knows the others are there like she knows you guys are."

"Alright, Zach, see you later."

"Bye Mace." I went back to the car and back home.

"Hunny, I'm home." Silent. I went upstairs and Lucy was still asleep on the bed but no Cammie. "Gallagher girl, where are you?"

"In the bath. Mum texted me saying how you phoned and I don't have to go in if I don't wanna so I thought I would spend the day with you and Lucy." I went into the bathroom and sat on the toilet seat.

"Let's do that then. I love you and it will all be okay, I promise baby."

"I love you too and I know." She gave me a weak smile and sunk further into the bath.

Sorry to put a bit of a downer on it but I have this idea and had to use it.
