Zoe's Point of View
"Hey, it's going to be okay." Michael says as we wait for the results in the hospital room. As soon as Michael told them I was pregnant they rushed me to a room and ran all sorts of tests.
"How do you know?" I ask sniffing, fresh tears falling.
"Because there was no sign of blood, the doctor said that was a good sign."
"Michael I'm so scared, I wish Calum was here."
"Ashton told me that they were on their way."
"That was half an hour ago! It took us 10 minutes to get here!" I shout distressed.
"To be honest, I sped a lot and ran about 3 red lights."
"Dangerous." I warn pointing my finger at him, he laughs and takes my hand in his.
"It'll be okay Zoe, I know it will be because I can feel it."
"Thank you Michael."
"You're welcome."
"What game where you playing?"
"Grand Theft Auto."
"I love that game." I say shaking his hands excitedly.
"Well, when you get out of here we can play it together, sound like a plan?"
"Definitely." I smile.
"Okay, now let's get some sleep. The Doctor said it will take a couple of hours for the results so we might as well sleep."
"But the others will be here soon." I say.
"They're not allowed in, they'll have to wait in the waiting room so no interruptions for us."
"But Calum." I say, Michael sighs.
"You sleep and when Calum gets here I'll send him in." He says with a frustrated smile.
"No, I'm sorry I'm just being dependent on Calum, I want you to stay. We should sleep." I smile, I move closer to the edge of the bed and pat the space for Michael.
"Oh no I'm fine here." Michael says.
"That chair is so uncomfortable Michael and I know it is so get on and sleep properly."
"You don't mind? There's no wires?" He asks.
"Other hand, other side." I smile. He nods and takes his shoes and coat off.
"Thank you Zoe." He says when he's under the covers and facing me.
"No, thank you Michael," I say smiling and kissing his cheek, "It means a lot."
"Zoe, I don't know whether Calum's ever told you this but you mean a lot to him." He whispers.
"He means a lot to me too."
"No Zoe, you mean everything to him. You liking Luke kills him."
"Oh."
"I'm not guilt tripping you! I'm just saying tread carefully." He says, I look at him and nod.
"I will." I say nuzzling my head into the pillow.

"Zo, wake up." Michael says shaking me.
"Why? What's going on?" I mumble looking around the room and seeing a Doctor standing by the end of the bed.
"Oh Doctor, sorry, hi." I smile sitting up slowly. Michael grabs my hand as the Doctor smiles.
"You and the baby are okay, it was stress. I recommend taking a few days off from school or work just to get your levels down."
"Okay, thank you." I smile, Michael sighing happily next to me.
"There are people waiting for you in the waiting room so they can come in now, and you will be discharge tonight about 6." He says putting the chart down and walking towards the door.
"Thank you Doctor."
"You're welcome, stay safe and be careful." He says.
"I'll go get Calum and everyone." Michael says jumping up and running out of the room, I place my hand on my stomach and smile.
"Stay strong little one." I whisper to my stomach before Calum falls into the room.
"Oh my God are you okay?" I ask as he lies on the floor, he jumps up and runs over to me.
"Are you okay? Is the baby okay?" He says quickly.
"Everything's fine, it's just stress. I have to take it easy for a couple of days." I say.
"Oh thank God," He sighs, "I was so scared, I was so scared. Fuck Zoe I thought I was gonna lose you and the baby, fuck." He says crouching down by the bed.
"Cal, hey Cal, it's okay! I'm okay, take deep breaths."
"Fuck, it's just you mean so much to me and I just automatically assumed the worst."
"It's okay, baby, it's okay. Relax, its over." I smile kissing his forehead.
"Okay, okay. When can you leave?" He says taking a deep breath.
"Tonight at 6."
"Okay, I erm, I want you to stay with me or I can stay with you. Just tonight, I need to know you're okay. I want to be there for you."
"You can stay with me." I say, he nods.
"I can sleep on the floor."
"Don't be stupid Cal." I laugh losing his nose. He smiles and kisses my nose.

That night Calum and I lay next to each other in my bed.
"Michael slept in the hospital bed with me." I told him.
"Don't blame him, those chairs are uncomfortable." Calum answer snuggling into my duvet.
That's when I knew.
"Calum, it's you." I whisper.
