zoe was in the kitchen talking with debbie and jaz as her, mason and macie came down to portsmouth for the day. zoe, however, she's trying her hardest not to tell that them she's expecting a baby.
"zoe, darling, are you okay?" debbie said, handing the twenty three year old a cup of tea.
"can you guys promise not to tell mason." zoe said and both debbie and jaz nodded.
"i'm pregnant." zoe whispered and both of the women embraced the girl in for a massive hug.
"i'm getting another grandbaby!" debbie said excitedly, right before mason walked in.
"what's going on?" mason said as he rushed over, thinking something bad has happened.
"oh nothing, babe, i'm fine" zoe said and she hated lying to him but she knew she had to.
"ok, well i'm just here to say that we have to head home soon because we don't want to get caught in traffic." mason said as he placed a kiss on zoe's forehead before leaving the room.
"stop he's such a simp." jaz said and zoe just laughed but she ain't denying it.
zoe and mason both bid there goodbyes along with macie and they both hopped in the car. she felt like there's weights on her shoulders from not telling him about the pregnancy but she knows it'll be worth it when he finds out.
"babe, are you hiding something from me?" mason said, noticing that zoe is extremely quiet.
"no, well i am but you have to wait until the end of the season to find out." zoe smiled at mason who pouted.
"i'll be patient just for you."
