"They're all fast asleep" Rosa said as she came back downstairs after putting the children to bed.
"Thanks for that" Zoe smiled as she sat down on the sofa besides Nick and Zoe.
"They're beautiful children, you must be proud" She beamed, smiling as she sat watching Zoe rest her head onto Nick's shoulder and he automatically put his arm around her protectively.
"The certainly are" Nick proudly responded, "We will come back out and visit as soon as this little one is old enough" He said as he placed a hand onto Zoe's bump.
"That would be lovely" Rosa excitedly replied, "I've definitely missed a lot of their lives and that won't be the case with this one"
"We'll make sure of it" Zoe smiled.
"Shall we go to bed Zo?" Nick asked as he saw that Zoe was now starting to fall asleep on his shoulder.
She tiredly nodded as she began to wake herself up slightly and they both headed upstairs to their temporary bedroom for the night.
"I can't believe you've never let me meet your mum and dad before now" Zoe said as she got into bed and cuddled up to Nick, resting her head on his chest.
"They've definitely taken a shine to you"
"They're only human" Zoe chuckled.
"Very funny" Nick laughed.
"You alright?" Nick raised his eyebrow in concern as Zoe paused and held her breath.
"Yeah first time I've felt the baby move" She smiled, taking Nick's hand and placing it on her stomach.
Nick grinned widely as he felt his new baby son or daughter move for the first time, "we've definitely got a lively one on our hands here"
"Must take after you seeing as you never keep still" Zoe joked.
"As long as they've got my brains and looks as well then they can't go wrong in life"
"Be careful Nick your head won't fit in the room soon"
Nick smiled "I do love you" He said kissing the top of her head.
"I love you too" Zoe whispered as she drifted off to sleep, contently lying in Nick's protective arms.
The next morning they awoke early considering that they were on holiday as Maisie had crept into there room. "Mum" She whispered, tapping Zoe on the shoulder as she attempted to wake her up.
"What's the matter?" Nick asked as he was now fully awake.
"I want mum" Maisie replied not wanting to talk to her dad about it, "Mum" She whispered once again, slightly louder this time which woke Zoe from her sleep.
"Mmm?" Zoe asked, too tired to string a proper sentence together.
"Will you come with me" Maisie asked, acting really shy as she tried to get her mum out of bed without having tell her dad what was the matter.
"Why?" Zoe sat up really confused as to what was going on at 8 o'clock in the morning.
"Please mum" Maisie begged desperately, keeping her eyes fixed on Zoe to try and give her a hint.
Zoe still had no idea as to what was going on but she rolled out of bed anyway, "Yes fine" She mumbled as she followed Maisie out of the room, turning and shrugging her shoulders at Nick as she left the room.
"What's up sweetheart?" Zoe asked as she was now fully awake as they entered the room that Maisie was staying in.
"I've kind of leaked through" Maisie shyly told her, extremely embarrassed as she rolled back the covers to show her mum.
"Don't worry about that" Zoe tried to reassure her as she could see how embarrassed she was looking, "I'll get it sorted" She smiled.
"Thanks" Maisie smiled, "I'm going to the bathroom" She said as she left her mum to strip the bed.
Zoe soon changed the bed for Maisie with the help of Rosa who was already up and about early and wondered what all the commotion was. Zoe then soon returned back to hers and Nick's room when she was finished.
"You took your time" Nick mumbled, rolling over as the light from outside the room blinded him when Zoe opened the door.
She climbed back into bed which was still warm from where Nick had been lying.
"Do you know what's up with Maisie?" He asked Zoe as they cuddled up together to keep warm.
Zoe looked up at him, her chin resting on his chest, she paused for a moment not knowing whether it was best to tell him or not, "She's on her period" She said.
Nick looked at her in shock, "What?" He said, he couldn't believe that his little girl had grown up so quickly.
"She started a few months ago but I think she's a bit embarrassed about it"
"A few months" Nick repeated "Why didn't you tell me?" He asked, slightly disheartened that Zoe had felt the need to keep it from him.
"Nick getting your period is a big deal I'm sure she doesn't want her dad knowing"
"That explains the mood swings"
"Yeah so don't be so harsh on her" Zoe laughed, playfully hitting Nick on the arm. He retaliated by rolling over and pinning her down so that he was on top of her but propping himself up on one arm so that he didn't harm the baby, he began to playfully tickle her under her arms causing Zoe to laugh hysterically. It was definitely her weak point and Nick knew it.
She soon managed to break herself away from him before one thing lead to another, "Come on we best get up, they'll be wondering what's happened to us" She said, slowly rolling back out of bed.
"Or we could stay here all day" Nick suggested, playfully trying to drag her back into bed.
Zoe moved forward and slowly kissed him on the lips, she knew that this would tease him, "I don't think so Nick, your mum will jump to all kinds of conclusions" She smiled as she pulled herself out of bed.
Nick smiled as she got out of bed, she knew how to tease him and push his buttons.
They both then quickly got ready and headed downstairs to join the rest of the family who were already up and eating breakfast around the kitchen table.
Rosa grinned as soon as they entered the room, "Nice of you to finally join us" She said, keeping her eyes on them both in suspicion.
