Can This Be True? { A Zalfie Fanfic }

*Four Months Later*

It had been four months since that one day in Florida when I had realized that I was going to be a father. It had been four months since that one day in Florida when Zoe had gotten hurt. And so much had happened since then. 

First of all, we had had to tell everyone that Zoe was pregnant, that caused a lot of commotion. A little bit too much I think for Zoe. She was still shocked herself and just wanted to be able to relax and not have to talk to people for a bit. 

Another big change was that Zoe had moved in with me and Caspar had moved out. He was now sharing a flat with the twins on the other side of London. I was glad that everything was starting to go back to normal with Jack and everything. We still talked and hung out in groups occasionally, but nothing was weird anymore. 

Today was the day that Zoe and I were going to the doctor's for her 16 week check up. So far the doctors had said that everything was going fine and dandy. I was so happy for Zoe and I could tell that she was happy too. 

I had woken up before Zoe and was in the kitchen preparing a cup of hot chocolate for Zoe as well as making some toast for her. Her favourite breakfast. Zoe didn't awake for at least another hour, so I had time to play a few rounds of Candy Crush, a game both Zoe and Tanya had gotten me addicted to. 

Finally at around 9 am, Zoe came creeping out of the dark bedroom and sat down silently at the kitchen table. "Good morning!" I said cheerily. She didn't answer but began to slowly drink her hot chocolate. She had been very moody lately but I couldn't blame her. She had a whole other person growing inside of her. 

"Are you ready to go to hospital?" I asked. She just nodded silently. She was normally very grumpy in the mornings, but today she seemes different. I just passed it off as morning sickness and tried to ignore how silent it was. I finished my hot chocolate and toast and placed my dishes in the sink, Zoe still sat at the table, staring at her cup. 

"Zoe," I said softly, rubbing her back. She looked up at me with a questioning look. 

"What?" she asked. 

"You should start getting ready," I said quietly. She nodded and stood up meandering slowly in the bedroom. The door clicked softly shut and I groaned. I wanted to know why Zoe was being so quiet, but I guess she would tell me eventually if it was really important.

I had been sitting at the kitchen table waiting for Zoe to come out for about thirty minutes. I know it takes a long time for girls to get ready, but at this rate we were going to be late. I went up to the doorway and was about to knock when I heard Zoe crying. I was starting to get really worried now. 

I was just about to open the door when Zoe opened it. She had wiped her eyes dry. "I'm ready," she said softly. She slipped her hand into mine as we walked down to the street to get a taxi to the hospital. I really needed to know what was wrong now. 

Okay, so I am kind of really unhappy with the way my fic is turning out. :( So I am just going to finish it up and start a new one which will hopefully be ten times better! I am sorry that this one has turned out to be crap.... I guess I just made it too long. Sorry guys, the next one will be much better. I already have a super good idea for a unique plotline! :D ^_^ xxx
