Sorry it took me awhile to update. I was reading again and got distracted. Thank you for the reviews. It's helping me come up with ideas and other stuff. I also realized all my stories are kinda sad. But I am positive they will get better. It's all a matter of time.

Chapter 7 Cammie pov.

"Zach?" I stepped through the door I was sure Zach was behind. "Zach?" I called again. The apartment was dark and seemed bigger than normal.

Candles were scattered throughout the room, illuminating several spots in the room. I frowned.

"Cammie dear." came a sickly sweet voice. Suddenly the room was full of lights. The lights shone off sliver surfaces, mirrored surfaces and the snow white walls.

Zach's mom stood in front of me. How she got there I had no idea. Her cold green eyes were nothing like Zach's. How I wanted Zach's eyes roaming my body right now or his hands caressing my swelling stomach. Wait, where was my baby bump?

I noticed Zach's mom had something in her hands. It was a small, bloody, throbbing human being. It was disgusting. Then I realized what it was. It was my baby. My stomach was normal. I had my small waist back. But I hated it.

"That's my baby!" I said feeling tears creep into my eyes. "Not anymore." His mom said. "Where's Zach?" I asked tears streaming down my face. His mom smiled vaguely an evil glint in her eyes. She held the baby out in her arms. "It's a boy by the way." She said and dropped my baby.

I caught it pressing it to my chest even though the baby's breaths were getting shallow and few and far between. "No." I murmured touching the bloody head. "You wanted to know where your husband is?" Zach's mom said. I nodded slowly. The baby was throbbing against my chest.

She walked to the side of the room. I gasped when I saw what I saw. Zach. Zach lying on the floor in dangerous looking pool of blood. "ZACH!" I cried and ran to his side. His skin was pale and cold, deathly so. "No. No." I murmured holding Zach's head to my chest along with my baby.

"So…"

I woke up from my dream, sweating and shaking. I was on my mother's couch in her office. I felt my stomach and felt the comforting baby bump there. I sat up and took at shaky breath. I had been at Gallagher for two days and had pushed my doctor's appointment back. Again.

I wanted to have my mom there with me but she had been busy with school things and today was a good day for her to go. In the afternoon of course though.

I knew I could no fall back asleep so I found the remote to my mom's flat screen and fished around in the mini fridge. I threw a bag of popcorn in the microwave.

I sat there staring out the window with the T.V. playing in the background. I stared out the window a lot. Even before Zach left and went MIA. It had really annoyed Zach when I did that. I smirked. Oh no, I was turning into Zach. That made me miss him more. I buried my face in my pillow.

"Good Morning Sweetie." My mom said tiredly. "Morning mom." I said. "You want to get ready so we can go get breakfast before I have those meetings this afternoon and then your doctor's appointment. Sweetie you can't keep putting it off." My mom said heading towards her private bathroom.

"Mom. I know that. I wanted Zach to be there." I said getting off the couch. "I know you did but… I'm sorry Cammie." She said seeing the tears in my eyes. She hugged me tightly.

"So when did you find out about… you know what?" mom asked after we ordered.

I looked down at my tea. Since I was pregnant it was not recommended that I drink coffee and alcohol was out too. "Um… the day Zach left." I murmured. "And then three weeks later he was pronounced MIA." I said. "How far along are you?" my mom asked. God she was full of questions.

"About five months." I said. My mom nodded. "Mom, I'm scared. I never wanted this to happen just yet. I don't want my child to grow up without a parent. Or the threat of the circle. Zach needs to come home. He needs to know about his child and be there to watch him or her grow up." I mumbled. My mom rubbed my hand softly and motherly.

"I understand." And then our food came. My mom filled me in on the on goings of Gallagher while we ate. I sat there and nodded, putting in "yeas" and "ok" when they were necessary.

"Well I have to get back to the school, would you like to come?" mom asked. "Um, I kinda wanted to walk around a bit." I said. "Ok. Be back by 4 though." Mom said and climbed in the limo to take her back to the school.

I walked the familiar streets of Roseville. I felt at home here. So many memories wrapped up in this town. I stepped in to a small privately owned bookstore. It was pleasantly warm from the slightly snippy air of September. The bookstore smelled like old paper and ink. Many smells were layered on top of each other.

I browsed the shelves, running my fingers over the spines. I remembered coming in here with Zach once just a few days before he proposed to me. I imagined him beside me now, holding my hand and impatiently waiting for me to be done. I would take even longer to annoy him.

I walked out empty handed though. I didn't have the heart to buy a book that would sit on the coffee table while I did other things. I was so tied up in my thoughts I was not watching where I was going. I ran right into something hard and warm.

"Oh! I'm sorry." I said hurriedly and picked up the bag that the person who I had run into had dropped when I ran into them. "Nah. It's fine." I looked up. Those eyes. I'd know those eyes anywhere. "Josh?" I said, taking a step back. 'Cammie, Hey." He said and steadied me. "Here." I said embarrassed. "Thanks." He said smiling. I gulped and tucked a strand of hair behind my hair, making sure I used my left hand. I saw Josh's face fall a bit but it was quickly wiped away.

"What are you doing here?" he asked. "Mom." I muttered jerking my head in the direction of the school. "Ah." This was really awkward. "So your… successful?" he asked. I nodded. "Yea, uh me too."

"Did you take over the pharmacy?" I asked. "No. Gave that up to my sister. Just visiting mom and dad." He said. I nodded.

"Who's the man?" he asked gesturing to my left hand. I felt heat rising up my neck. I knew Josh and Zach did not get along, both jealous of each other. "Um… Zach." I mumbled. Jealously slashed across Josh's face.

"Great." He stuffed his hands in his pockets. "Yea." I twisted my ring around my finger. It was getting harder and harder to get the ring on and off.

"DADDY!" a little boy about two came running out of a nearby store. "Hey, buddy." Josh said and picked up the little boy. "Good, you have him, Alex you know you don't go running off, silly boy." A woman said coming up behind Josh.

The woman looked a little like Bex only her skin was lighter and her eyes lighter too. "Hello." She said nodding to me as she fixed her son's jacket around him. Alex squirmed out of his mom's reach. "Stella, this is Cammie. She's a… old friend." Josh said shifting his son to a different position.

"Pleased to meet you." She said reaching out her hand. I shook it lightly. "Don't mean to be rube but are you expecting?" Stella asked lightly. "yes." I said glancing at Josh. He was trying his best to hide a pained expression. Was it always like this with Ex's?

"Well I have to go. Nice to meet you Stella and Alex. Josh." I said nodded my head. "Cammie…" "You have your family and I have mine." I said and walked off.

"Oh shit." Nick said when we walked into the kitchen. Allison was by the stove melting butter in a pan. "What?" Allison snapped tossing a pre-grilled cheese sandwich in the pan.

'You know you can't cook." Nick said. Allison scoffed. "So what if I'm hungry. They are making us work our butts off here and there are supplies to make a sandwich here."

"Allison doesn't use cuss words." Nick muttered. "Fuck you." Allison said and grabbed the mayo from the fridge and dumped it on his head massaging it into his hair that Nick had spent 30 minutes on.

"MY HAIR!" Nick shrieked. I was leaning against the counter supporting myself as I laughed. It was times like these that we forgot how tired we were, how sore we were or how much we missed home. And the fact that we were locked in a top terrorist base somewhere in the Himalaya's.

Nick ran out of the room. Allison and I were laughing our heads off. The next second the pan on the stove caught fire. Allison shrieked in surprise. Nick with mayo in his hair stood in the doorway now he was the on laughing. I grabbed the fire extinguisher.

"Fail." Nick said. "I'm a spy not a chef." Allison said and kicked Nick in the gut.

I sat uncomfortably in the maternity office of the hospital. The women there were all heavily pregnant and looked miserable. I shifted in my seat. My Mom looked a little awkward too. "Goode, Cameron." A nurse said.

I stood up and wiped my sweaty palms on my jeans. I wished Zach was here beside me. This was the day we got to see our baby. I swallowed the lump in my throat as I walked to the room where they would perform the ultrasound.

They told me to lie back on chaise table thing which supported my back nicely. The paper crinkled under me. I leaned my head back. What would Zach think if he was here right now? I felt my mom squeeze my hand lightly as they did the basic check over before the ultrasound. (I don't know if that happens for real so…)

Finally my shirt was pulled back so reveal my small 20 week bump. I saw my mom smiling. I smiled over at her. 'Zach would be so happy right now." She said. I nod. He would, wouldn't he?

I gasped a bit when the cold jelly was squirted onto my belly. The ultrasound machine beeped in saying it was ready. "Ok. Here we go." The doctor said and pressed the ultrasound reader thing to my belly pressing lightly. (I have no idea what it's called)

My mom gasped when she say the baby. It looked mostly like a grey blob but really it was a human being inside of me. Me and Zach combined to make one. I smiled. Zach you should see this. I thought. If only I could send him mental thoughts and images.

"There's the head, see the eyes and the nose." The doctor moved the thing around on my belly. I couldn't stop smiling.

"Looks like you have….."

BAWHAHAHAHAHA! Have to have a little suspense right? So most of you seem to like the idea of twins. Here's my idea. What if it seems like Cammie is having on baby, but it turns out to be two? The second baby would kinda be like a preemie but not really, like the baby was living off the other baby which turns out ok. And then there's a squeal where Zach and Cammie have to deal with work and a baby plus another baby who might not have much of a chance to live! Again just an idea, might not really happen.

Also if you want to see the baby's nursery I think would be good for the baby check it on my profile. All credit for that goes to Sarah Richardson who designed it for her own baby. Anyway. I OWN NOTHING! PLEASE REVIEW AND TEL ME WHAT YOU THINK!
