Chapter 13 Liz POV. But in third POV.

Idea from . SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG!

Flashback –Right before Zach leaves

Liz carefully placed the magnesium into the petri dish. She picked up a bottle of… she was distracted as Jonas opened the Lab door deep in conversation with another CIA lab scientist. She watched him out of the corner of her eye as she wrote something down in her lab notebook.

Jonas ran his hand through his dark hair, clearly frustrated. Liz knew he was on the team working towards memory restoration. Liz, to her anger and disappointment did not get placed on that team. She got put on guiding an agent through a mission in the depths of the rainforest.

Shaking her head Liz turned back to her experiment. She had already done it many times before and was bored but she had nothing else to do. She picked up the bottle again and was just about to drop some on when the lab door burst open and a frazzled looking Cammie came running in.

"LIZ!" she shouted causing Liz to drop the wrong amount into the petri dish. "Cammie!'' Liz said jumping in surprise. "Sorry. Did I just mess that up?" Cammie asked. Liz put on a fake smile and shook her head. "I'm sorry." Cammie said seeing right through Liz's façade.

Liz shook her head. "What do you need?" She asked. Cammie bit her lip. "So you know how Zach and I have this vacation planned for the long weekend?" she asked taking a set on one of the stools in front of Liz.

Liz nodded, turning around to place her bottle on the back lab table. "Well… I'm having suspicions about it. Bad things always happen when we go on vacation. And I don't feel good at the same time." Cammie said resting her chin on her hands.

"Slow down a bit." Liz said cleaning up her station. Cammie smirked, an annoying habit she had picked up from Zach. "I have a bad feeling about this trip." Cammie said looking down at the lab table. Liz shook her head. "Cammie, you and Zach will go on this trip and have so much fun like you always do." She said reassuringly.

"Thanks. But what about the fact that I haven't felt good for the longest time. I know Zach thinks something's up but he's Zach. He never gives anything away."

Liz leaned on the lab table her arms supporting her, biting her lip. "How long?" she asked. "I don't know, a while?' Cammie answered. "Can I test you?' she asked a little too excitedly.

"What? Are you really that bored Lizzie?" Cammie asked. Liz sighed and nodded. "Fine. I guess if it will help you with your boredom."

"Why are you not a CIA doctor?" Cammie asked as they snuck into the CIA Hospital unit. "I don't' want to be tied to one job." Liz said. Cammie shook her head as Liz closed the door to the room they had snuck in. "Why here?" Cammie asked looking around the room and all the equipment.

"I can have all the fun I want here." Liz said locking the door. "What have I done?" Cammie groaned.

An hour later Cammie sat speechless at what Liz was holding in front of her. "You're kidding." "Cam, I've made full-proof tests. This isn't a lie." Cammie sank to the floor her head in her hands. "How am I supposed to tell Zach this?" she asked her voice cracking. Liz sat next to her.

"I don't know. I'm sorry." She said wrapping an arm around her friend. Cammie ran a hand through her hair. "He's going to be happy." She said shakily. "Even though I told him no before… he'll be so happy." Cammie now had a few tears streaking down her face.

"Me and wanting to do my silly tests. But you would have found out sooner or later. Come on. Let's get you and ultrasound, as proof." She pulled Cammie up and out to the front desk.

:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:

Cammie and Liz walked back to the lab. "You better go. You leave soon." Liz said smiling as she scanned herself in to the lab. Cammie gave a wan smile before stuffing the ultrasound pictures in her bag.

"Like you said he'll be so happy." Liz smiled as they stepped in. Cammie stayed at the door. "I hope your right Lizzy, I hope you are right."

The Day After

"Hey Liz." Jonas took a seat beside her in the CIA café. "Hey Jonas." She said not looking up from her laptop. "You're working Zach's mission?" he said glancing at what she was doing. "Yea. The bimbo left right when they were supposed to go on vacation and Cammie had something important to tell him."

"Really what?" Jonas asked curious. "Not my story to tell." She said as she saw Cammie across the café waiting for her lunch. Jonas took a sip of his soda. "Come on Liz." He said bumping her elbow.

Unfortunately that caused Liz to spill her drink all over her. "Oh Shoot. Liz I'm so sorry." Jonas said getting flustered. "Hey, settle down." Liz lightly grabbed his forearms as he made to grab some napkins.

"But you're…" "Fine. I can go to Macey and get something's from her." Liz said calmly taking the napkin from his hand. "Sorry." He said. Liz just smiled at him and they both sat trying to ignore the blushes they had blooming across their faces. "I'm just going to go find Macey." Liz said clearing her throat and snapping her laptop closed.

She hurriedly threw away the remains of her lunch. Jonas watched her leave before dropping his head into his palm.

Liz shot up the stairs towards Macey's office. She knocked hurriedly before letting herself in. "Did you have another accident in the lab Liz?" Macey asked getting up from her chair. "Yes… No… It's tea." She said flustered.

"Well it certainly is a mess." Macey said. Liz rubbed her forehead. "So you are coming to dinner tonight?" Macey asked walking over to her closet where she was supposed to keep her coat, but for Macey it was a place to keep extra clothes.

"Um… Yea. I have nothing else to do." "Good. Bex is trying to convince Cam to come." Liz at the moment was the only one who knew about Cammie's pregnancy. Cammie was going to tell Zach first, so Liz had to pretend she didn't know, even though she was the one who found out about it in the first place.

"Great see you tonight." Macey said leading Liz to the door with a fresh pair of clothes. Liz smiled.

Bex and Macey picked her up at exactly 6:45. They had another 15 minute drive till they got to Cammie's apartment.

She gave Cammie a hug as she climbed in the car looking tired. She probably was. When they did the test they had decided she was already about three and a half months to four months along. And then Zach just had to go and leave. To top it all off this had all happened yesterday. Cammie should be in the little house in Greece with Zach.

Cammie paled when they pulled up the restaurant. "Cam? Are you Ok?" Macey asked. "Oh. Yea. I'm just going to the bathroom."

"Did you find out what's wrong with her?" Liz said as they took a table while Cammie was in the bathroom. She really didn't like not being able to say anything.

"No but we have our possibility's." Bex said. Macey looked over the cocktail list. "Well she's never really missed Zach when he goes on missions so I really can't be that." Liz said. But she had to admit it was sort of fun being the only other one who knew.

Macey put down the cocktail list. "Liz, this is easy. Has Cammie seemed different to you at all the past three months?" Liz thought for a moment. "Well she has been eating a lot, going to the bathroom a lot and looks as if she has gained weight. Don't you dare tell her I just called her fat."

"Just called me what?" Cammie said coming up behind them. "Nothing." Liz said a little too fast. Cammie rolled her eyes. She looked like she was in a bad mood. Macey held up four fingers.

"So Cammie when are you going to come out and tell us?" Macy said, digging for info. "Tell you what?" Cammie said, looking at her menu. Macy was about to answer. "May I get you ladies anything to drink?" Came the voice of their waiter.

"Yes. I will have your spiked strawberry iced tea, please." Liz said. "Brazilian Martini." Bex said. "Chocolate velvet, please." Macey said. "I'll just have water." Cammie said. The waiter nodded and walked away.

The others looked at Cammie. She never turned down alcohol when she got the chance to have it. "Cammie. We will start suspecting thing if you don't tell us. We already have an idea. First you have been eating a lot more, you seem to go to the bathroom a lot and now you turn down Alcohol. You have some explaining to do missy." Bex said. Cammie looked down at her lap. She muttered something.

"What?" Liz asked. "I told you Bex, Zach had to be the first on to know." Cammie said. "Cammie. By now all three of us have figured out you are pregnant. Really Cammie. You couldn't hide it for that long." Macey said. "Well I was going to tell Zach first. But he left. So I was going to wait until he gets back next week." Cammie said tearing up.

"Aw, Cammie. It's ok. Zach will be back next week so you can tell him." Liz said, hugging her friend. They ordered their food. Cammie's moods lighten considerably during the night.

After they dropped a much happier Cammie off Bex turned in her seat. "You knew the whole time didn't you Liz." She said. "Know what? That Cammie was pregnant?" Liz said trying to be innocent.

Bex gave her a look. "Fine, yes. I knew. I was with her when she found out." Liz said. "Wow Lizzy. Good Job." Macey said smiling at Liz. Liz smiled to her hands in her lap.

Four weeks later when Zach is pronounced MIA

Cammie was mess. Liz felt sorry for her because of Zach. She knew Cammie did not want her baby to grow up fatherless like she did from the tender age of seven. Liz also felt partially guilty since she had started Zach out on his mission. Bex assured her it was not her false, that Zach was dumb enough to get caught.

Cammie lashed back saying Zach was too good a spy to get caught and that had started a bit of dispute with Cammie and Bex.

Cammie had been staying at Grant and Bex's for the time being. Bex didn't want to leave Cammie alone while she was going through this time. Liz agreed but she knew Cammie needed time to herself. So a few weeks ago she had moved back to hers and Zach's apartment.

Cammie needed to think or go see her mom. Something like that. Liz walked up the steps to Cammie's apartment with Bex and Macey. Cammie had been given off a little time.

"Here goes nothing." Bex said unlocking the door. Macey had her one and a half year old son Brady on her hip. He was currently trying to escape her grasp. Not likely. The apartment was in semidarkness. "Cammie?" Bex called.

"In here." came the hoarse voice of Cammie. She wasn't the prettiest sight to see. Her eyes where bloodshot and her hair oily. "What happened to you?" Macey asked setting Brady down. Liz sent a look at her before sitting down and hugging Cammie. "He'll come back you know that right?" she said.

"How am I supposed to believe that? My dad never came back did he?" Cammie got up and started to pace.

Bex plopped in a chair. "Cam, we are trying as hard as we can to find Zach. But you do have to believe he will come back." She said.

Macey broke the silence. "You know, when I was out buying Brady new clothes yesterday, I found these great maturity pants that stretch to fit whatever stage of pregnancy you are in. I wish I had those while I was pregnant." She said.

"Mace. I don't care." Cammie said plopping back down on the couch. Macey backed off and went to Brady. "You should go see your mom Cam." Bex said softly. Cammie looked out the window. It was quiet. Finally Bex resorted to shaking Cammie's shoulder to get her out of her thoughts.

"Cammie?" Bex shook her shoulder a little harder. "What?" she asked. "You ok? You spaced out there for a while." Bex said. "Yea, fine." Cammie said looking back out the window.

"So are you going to go see your mom?" Liz asked. "Yes. I'm going to stay there for a while. I have my doctor's appointment tomorrow and I'd like her to be there." Cammie got up and Macey followed her talking about baby stuff. They were the only two moms out of the four of us so far.

"Liz," Bex started as soon as they left. "What?" Liz asked. "I'm going to need your help. I got the job tracking Zach on his mission and you are going to be helping me." Bex said smirking. "Why do I have to help you?" Liz asked.

"Liz, when have I not have you help me while I've been doing something spy related." Bex said rolling her eyes dismissively. "Never." Liz sighed. "Exactly. Meet me at my house at exactly 7'oclock." Bex said.

:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:

Baby Shower!

Cammie is officially five months pregnant and no hide nor hair of Zach.

Liz stood sipping her punch as people milled around her talking, laughing. She sighed and looked over to where Cammie was. She looked uncomfortable. "You got a minute?" Came a voice from behind her. Liz spun around to see Jonas. "Jonas." She said letting out a deep breath her hand over her chest.

"Sorry. So you have a minute?" he asked stuffing his hands in his pockets. Liz nodded setting her cup down before following him to the corner of the room. "What do you have to show me?" she asked. "Ok so you know Bex has me working on this too right?" he said sitting down in front of his laptop. "No I didn't know that." Liz said.

'Well now you do so… I got this coded message the other day. It dates back to about a month ago when Zach was officially announced MIA. I only just finished decoding it. And it's defiantly from Zach." He said looking up at Liz.

"What does it say?" Liz asked. "It says he's close, really, really close. He wants reinforcements but only when he gives the command that he wants them." Liz leaned over Jonas shoulder looking at the message. "Did you trace it?" she asked.

"That will take some work. I was hoping you would help me." Jonas said looking up at Liz. Liz straighten up. "Like when?" she asked.

"Bex will want this done as soon as possible so how about tonight?" he asked. Liz thought for a moment. "Sure." Jonas smiled. "Great. Can you get Cammie?" he asked.

:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:

At Liz's apartment (hers was closer so they went there after the party)

Liz walking into her living room carrying a glass of water. "Anything?" she asked straightening her pajama's before pulling her laptop into her lap. Jonas shook his head pushing his glasses up.

Liz bit her lip while glancing at his computer. "Would it be… no never mind." Jonas said. They were currently working on decoding the location Zach's message had come from. They were not having much luck though.

"So many firewall and other things to hack into. Most of it stuff we have never seen before." Liz said. Jonas nodded and took a sip of the water Liz brought him.

"Jonas, what if we can't find him?" Liz asked tentatively. Jonas looked up and saw the worry in her eyes. He shook his head. "We'll find him even if it kills us." He said softly. Liz turned back to her computer.

She began typing furiously at the keyboard, her fingers seems to fly, a look of determination on her face. "I'm going to find him. Not for his own good… well partly for his own good but mostly for Cammie. And the baby."

"Liz, you don't have to do it alone." Jonas said setting his laptop on the coffee table. "Well right now you're not…" She was cut off by Jonas, who took her chin in his hand and kissed her lightly, just enough to shut her up.

"Sorry." He mumbled, looking away blushing. "I never said it was a bad thing." Liz said and turned his head back."

In the Lab with Jonas

Liz giggled at something Jonas had said. At the moment they had an unspoken relationship. "How's the memory restoration going?" she asked leaning on the lab counter. Jonas sighed and leaned his hip on it. "Ok. They don't want me to do much more on it." He said looking down at her.

Liz gave him a smile. "I just feel so busy. Doing all of this for Bex, the memory stuff… so much more." He said. "Spread too thin?" Liz suggested. "Yea something like that." Jonas said. She took his hand hesitantly.

Jonas with a sudden spurt of courage wrapped his hand around hers. Liz blushed and looked down.

Bex came bursting through the door of the lab, causing both her and Jonas to jump. "Liz," she started a hard look on her face.

"What?" Liz asked as Jonas pretended to be going over a research sheet. "Check for fingerprints and other evidence in my apartment and test them. I'm finding Grant."

"But you don't have authorization to proclaim a search for him." Jonas said. "Then I'm self-proclaiming." Bex said turning on the balls of her feet and streaking away.

"She's determined." Jonas said. Liz nodded before taking his chin and kissing him.

:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:

Liz's Apartment again… this time she and Jonas are just there together

Jonas stood at her kitchen sink, his shirt sleeves pushed up to his elbow as he cleaned up the kitchen from their dinner of takeout. Liz was watching him. Him, like her were so tired it was hard to stand.

Bex was working them hard and they still had their work in the lab. At the moment Liz was guiding Bex along a narrow path in India or some other place. Liz wasn't sure she was so tired.

"Where too next Liz?" Bex's voice came through the comms unit in her ear. "Oh… uh… there should be a large cave on your right there and… Bex can we please continue this tomorrow? I'm dying over here." She said. Jonas dried his hands cocking his head at her.

"Liz… fine… I guess it would be better to do this a night anyway." She said. "Thanks Bex, get back to your hotel quickly." Liz said before sighing off. She walked to her couch and collapsed on it.

"I'm so tired." She groaned into a pillow. Jonas leaned against the wall. "Who's not." He said moving over to the couch and sitting down, pulling her feet into his lap. "Bex. And maybe Cammie, she said she's not been sleeping the best." Liz said.

As she was falling asleep on the couch she felt Jonas tentatively lay down next to her and wrap his arm around her. She felt hi relax when she laid her hand on his forearm. And with that sleep consumed them.

How Chapter 11 ended with just a bit more information

Macey and Bex were fighting over what was on T.V. Cammie sat there running her hand over her very swollen stomach. Liz could tell she was uncomfortable. "You ok Cam?" she asked. "My muscles keep cramping up." Cammie said.

Liz got up and headed towards Macey's Linen closet which she knew better than Macey since Liz had organized it. Liz pulled out a red bag and popped it in the microwave.

"Here you go Cam." She said, two minutes later. "What's that?" Bex asked. "Corn bag, soothes the muscles." Liz said. "Thanks Liz." Cammie said, taking the corn bag and laying it on her side. Liz smiled and sat back down on the couch.

"Who you talking to Lizzie?" Bex asked. Liz jerked her head up. "No one." "That's likely." Bex said snatching her phone away from Liz. "Jonas?' Bex said. "We are working on your dumb case." Liz said moving back to her spot on the couch. "It's not dumb." "It is to me and Jonas. We can't even get ant sleep and barley have time to eat." Liz sunk into the couch. Bex went back to her chair.

"Everyone's snippy this evening." Bex muttered. Liz went back to texting Jonas a slight smile on her face but she looked up as Bex looked at her phone and said "I have to go."

Liz knew something was up and turned on the system she had invented so that she could see Bex's messages. If Bez knew she would kill her but she didn't so Liz was good.

Her mouth dropped open as she read the message.

"We have them. Banged up badly but we have them. Report A.S.A.P"
