Hey guys,
please read and review.
Thanks!
Enjoy!
It was a month that they would never forget. They spent every spare second they had together, and even more. They did so many things together, even though they both would rather not get out of bed at all (which almost happened) they tried to do as much as possible. They made sure to remind themselves constantly that it's temporary, and time will pass quickly. This morning was no different. They woke up together, ready to face the day ahead.
"I feel a bit bad that I stole all your free time. You barely had time to be with everyone," Zoe said as she sat up in bed.
Wade laughed softly and smiled at her.
"Okay, not really. They had you for almost 30 years before I came to Bluebell, I have to make up for lost time ..." She started to kiss him little kisses down his neck.
"We need to get out of bed and start packing ..." he said reluctantly
"You need to pack."
"What, you're not going to help me?" He said almost helplessly.
"Absolutely not. You're a big boy and I have errands to run this morning," she declared.
"I thought you said you cleared the whole week just for us"
"I did, but Wanda needs me and she is pregnant, and you know how pregnant women can be"
"Not really, I try not to be there when she's there. She went all crazy. Even Tom can't handle it. Luckily, you're the doctor in this relationship, because I don't think I would survive another one like her near me"
"And here I take my words back. You're a baby."
"So that means you're staying to help me pack?" He smiled mischievously
"In your dreams" She smiled proudly, and got out of bed. he tried to throw a pillow at her but she made it to the bathroom and closed the door behind her.
"You're a baby!" she shouted
"Your baby" he shouted back.
"And only mine" she said. He smiled to himself.
She finished showering and saw that he was already dressed.
"I'm going to my place to start packing everything" he said and got closer to kiss her.
"Okay, I'll see you later. Don't forget we have a date tonight," she kissed him back.
"Can't wait"

Throughout most of the day they were apart, Wade was still busy packing and Zoe with town business.
She returned home in the late afternoon and found Wade sleeping on the couch.
"Definitely a baby," she chuckled to herself.
"I heard you," he groaned and sat up.
"I know you're tired but it's time to get up and get dressed for the evening"
"Okay, what's the plan?"
"As if I'm going to tell you"
"It's okay, I already know," he muttered out loud on purpose
"What? How do you know?" She stammered
"It's hard to hide secrets from me Doc"
"Oh No! But Lemon worked really hard on everything and everyone came to help organize the rammer jammer today. Who told you? I'm going to kill him!"
"I won't let you"
"I'm not asking you" she said
"You have no choice. I won't let you kill yourself"
"What?" She was confused.
"You just told me right now" He had fun teasing her.
"Wade Kinsella, you're so dead!" She shouted.
A slow grin spread across his face. Before she could say more he cupped her face in his hands and lowered his lips to hers.
They broke away after a few moments. "I'm sorry, it was so easy" he had a smug look on his face.
"You will pay for it, I promise" She stared at him, trying not to laugh. And once again, he kissed her.

"Please make a surprised face. Lemon would kill me if she finds out you knew about the party"
It was eight o'clock; they were close to the Rammer Jammer.
"Don't worry Doc, I know how Lemon feels about her parties, I'll protect you." He winked at her and took her hand in his.
"So let's do it" she took a deep breath.
They heard whispers; Wade opened the door and heard loud cheering.
All the residents of Bluebell came to the party. Everyone. Wade tried to conceal his excitement but Zoe caught it. She hugged him and whispered in his ear, "This is your night. Enjoy .You deserve it." He hugged her tight. "Thank you. I love you."
She kissed him on the cheek, "I love you too. Now go say hello to everyone."
It took him an hour to get to all the people who came and thank them. Everyone didn't stop saying how proud of him they are. But the moment that moved him the most was when his father told him he was proud of him. He waited years to hear this, and now it's finally happened.
Wade and Zoe sat with George and Lavon while people were still coming to say goodbye to Wade.
"I'm going to the bathroom for a minute, I'll be right back," Zoe told Wade.
when she was far from the table Wade turned to Lavon and George "Hey, I know I shouldn't really ask ... but keep an eye on her while I'm gone"
"We didn't think otherwise, Wade. We'll take care of her," Lavon said and George nodded in agreement.
A couple of minutes later she was back. "Ready to go?" she asked Wade
"Everything's all right? You look a little pale"
"Yes, everything is great," she said enthusiastically. "Now let's go to your real goodbye party," she whispered. His eyes opened wide. "I hope you can run," he smiled at her.
They went to say goodbye to Lemon and left the bar.

Morning came quickly. It was seven and the alarm clock woke them up.
"How much time do we have?" She asked quietly. Her legs were laced with his. Her head rested on his right hand.
"We don't have…"
"Noooo" she groaned. She lifted her head and placed it on his chest as she hugged him tightly.
"Zoe ..." he whispered
She sighed. "I'm sorry ... I'm just ..."
"I know ..." He kissed her hair. "Are you sure you want to take me to the airport, I could ask Lavon or drive myself"
"Are you crazy?" She hit his chest weakly. I am with you until the last second. "
"Okay." He smiled and kissed her. They parted for a brief moment, looking into each other's eyes. They did not have to say a word. Their eyes said it all.

They arrived at the airport. They had a few minutes together.
"Are you sure you're feeling okay? I heard you in the morning and you're not looking good." He asked.
"I'm fine. It's just stress and anxiety."
"It was like that all week," he said
"I'll be fine. It'll pass quickly. I promise"
"I'm sorry," his brows creased with concern
"Stop. I'm all right," she rose on her tiptoes and kissed his forehead.
For moments they just stared at each other. She wrapped her arms around him and hugged him close. He leaned down and kissed her. They poured every feeling they were experiencing at this moment into that kiss.
They parted, both trying to catch their breathes.
"I love you, Zoe"
"Wade" she took his face in her hands and brushed his cheeks with her thumbs
"I love you" he whispered again.
She closed her eyes and felt tears running down her face
"I love you so much" she said and locked her lips with his.
It was a slow and loving kiss. Their hearts were threatening to break out of their chests.
"Go before I don't let you" she whispered into his mouth
And he went.

On the way back she got a call from Wanda
"Hey Zoe, Tom and I would like to talk to you, are you free?"
"No problem, I'll be there in half an hour".
When she arrived at the practice they were already waiting for her there.
"So what brings you here this morning?" She asked them
"Tom is really nervous and wants to make sure everything is OK with the baby. I told him I came to see you the other day, but he insisted," Wanda said
"It's okay Wanda, this is a new situation for both of you guys, come in and I'll check you up" Zoe smiled.
Zoe has performed an ultrasound scan. "Everything looks great." You still don't want to know the sex of the baby, right? "
"Right" they answered together.
"Are you sure everything is okay Dr. Hart? Because at first she kept throwing up and was tired and didn't feel good, and suddenly she's feeling fine and it's strange so I was afraid something might have happened," Tom said. Zoe suddenly stopped. She froze in her place and opened her eyes wide.
"What happened? Everything okay right?" Tom asked in panic. Zoe recovered quickly.
"Tom, I understand you are concerned, but everything is fine, I promise, if you have more questions you are always welcome to ask me," she reassured him
"Thank you Zoe" Wanda hugged her and they went, leaving Zoe alone.
She felt as if she was going to fall. She sat in her chair, remembering her conversation with Wade this morning.
"You sure you're feeling okay? I heard you in the morning. You're not looking good."
"It was like that all week"
She remembered his words.
He was right. She was much more tired than usual. And she vomited several times in recent days. She was sure it was only stress.
She was hyperventilating.
"OH MY GOD"
