"How's school been going?" Joshua says after his son picks up.

He called to check on him.

"Fine, I just finished my paper for one of my classes."

"Where Ladybug?"

"Hanging out with some people we met during orientation."

"Why didn't you go? You got other friends?"

"I'm friends with them. I just have this paper due tomorrow and I wanted to look over it. I was going to meet up with them in a minute. Eliza sent me her location so I'd know where to find her."

"Oh okay. Well have fun I just wanted to check up on you and my grandchild. Call me later when you get home and ladybug is around."

"Yes sir. I'll call you tonight."

"Bye."

Zion puts on his shoes and walks to the car.

They've started school three-four weeks ago and teachers are already asking for essays. Eliza's work was finished when Coco and Jackson called so Zion told her she can go before him instead of waiting.

He knew she needed a break from him anyways. She had been acting weird for the past two days and he was scared. He'd ask her what he's done wrong but she'd tell him she was fine. He remembers the day she started acting weirdly towards him.

Flashback to two days ago.

Eliza was in bed for what felt like a week. The doctors gave her a note for the school to be at home. She was ready to get out the house. (I don't know how long it takes to recover from an abortion realistically. So it'll be a week in here. Honestly scared to search it. I live in Texas, they're gonna get my ass thinking I actually did it.)

"Babe, I miss my family already."

"Do you want to go visit since it's Friday night?"

"Yeah, you can also see your family as well. When do you want to go?"

Zion looks at his watch to see the time. It was 6:30pm and the drive took about 2 hours.

"Yeah we can go. Imma grab my essentials since I got clothes still there and we can head out."

They get what they needed and head out to the car. On the way to their parents Eliza was texting the whole time not paying Zion much attention so he just sings the songs that were playing and focus on the road.

He doesn't ever look at her phone because that is her privacy and he never wanted to invade it. He trusts her. She tells him everything anyways.

They arrive and Zion says hello to her parents before leaving and going to him parents house. Eliza wanted some alone time with her parents which he didn't mind.

"Hi my baby. Your dad has been talking about you non stop." Sarah says and hugs and kisses him in a motherly way.

"You're tryna embarrass me. Anyways how's my boy doing? Where's ladybug?"

"I'm fine and she's with her family. She wanted alone time with them and I don't blame her. With her being pregnant her emotions been everywhere. I give her space when she needs it."

"I remember when Justin was here all the time when Michelle was pregnant with the twins. Her emotions were high but times two. It's good y'all are setting boundaries."

"Yeah. What are y'all about to do?"

"I was going over there to see my God babies. I'll be back. I missed you so much baby. When I get back in thirty to an hour, we can watch a movie or something. If you're hungry I cooked a minute ago it's on the stove. I'll be back." Sarah says as she walks out.

"I don't like the lying we've been doing."

"I promise to tell him. I'm just haven't had the chance to. I love him and I know this will break us."

"You can't keep lying, he will hate us both for it. Well he'll already hate me for it but he loves you I don't think he'll hate you."

"I will tell him the truth. I got to go I hear someone coming." The phone was hung up before they could saying anything more.

*******************

"Hey, babygirl. Your aunt Sarah is here. Who was that on the phone?"

"My friend Coco."

"Oh okay. How is my grandchild?"

"Good. The doctor said they were healthy and I also have something to tell you mom after aunt Sariah leaves.

"Okay. I hope it nothing serious."

End of flash

After that day she wasn't the same. Her and Coco been acting weird. He just hoped it didn't get worse for him mentally. He wasn't ready yet, he was still stuck on his past.
He finally arrives and sees them before walking towards the section. He hugs Eliza before kissing her and rubbing her belly.

"Hi love." Zyon says before trying to kiss her.
Eliza looks away from him as he did so and said.

"Hey."

"Are you okay?" Zyon questions feeling a little embarrassed.

"Yeah why wouldn't I be? I got your favorite movie snacks and an icey. Let's go before the movie starts." She says and starts to head that direction.

They head to the movie they wanted to see and sit down.
