February 14th, 2017...

Zoe quietly opened the bedroom door to the room she shared with Quin and closed it behind her as she saw him asleep still, with his arms around the pillow she put in her place when she snuck out of bed to make him breakfast.

She giggled as she carried the tray of breakfast foods to the bed and leaned on it a little.

"Quin...wake up." She said as she watched him stir.

"I have a surprise for you, honey." He groaned.

"Are you tired from last night?" She winked at him when he opened his eyes.

Quin grinned, stretching.

"You wore me out, Kitten." He chuckled as he sat up finally and Zoe placed the tray on his lap. "What's this?"

She shrugged and pecked his lips. "Happy Valentine's day, my love."

Quin smiled. "Happy Valentine's day to you too...breakfast in bed? I could get used to this."

Zoe laughed. "Well, don't get used to it. I may spoil you, but not that much." She teased as he tried the food.

"Aw, a heart-shaped pancake?" Quin said as he grabbed his cell phone.

"I'm so taking a picture of this and putting it on the slap."

"Well, eat before your food gets cold." Zoe kissed his head.

"I already ate though and I'm going to start getting ready for school."

"Alright, hun." Quin smiled to her as she left for the bathroom. He sighed.

"Greatest wife ever."

...

As the gang sat in class, attempting to concentrate on Sammy telling a story about her past relationship, a knock at the door was heard and everyone saw Helen's secretary come in with a nervous smile and bright eyes behind her glasses as she held out a bouquet of roses in a pink vase in one hand and then a black sparkly gift bag in her other hand.

Madison was sitting behind Blayke with a smirk.

"Aw, Blayke, you shouldn't have gotten those for me."

Blayke raised an eyebrow.

"Ha...jokes on you, I didn't." Madison frowned and smacked the back of his head, making him jerk out of his chair. "Ow! Witch!"

"Jerk!" Madison kicked his chair harshly as well. "How could you not get me flowers?"

"Because you're already forcing me to take you to the fanciest restaurant in town tonight, so what more do you expect of me?" Blayke yelled back at her.

"Flowers and chocolates!" Madison growled.

"Enough you too." Sammy said in a bored tone. "Anyways, what are those for?"

"The bag is for Madison Star." The lady said as she smiled to Madison and handed her the bag, who's jaw dropped. "From Blayke Harris."

Madison glared to Blayke , who smirked at her. She ripped the present open and brought out a pair of packaged brand new black scissors.

The best pair she's ever had...actually, it's the pair she's been saving up for...damn. She growled at Blayke . "I hate you."

"You adore me." Blayke grinned.

"You didn't have to make me look like a complete fool!" Madison snapped.

"You did that without my help, Star!" Blayke yelled.

"STOP!" Sammy shouted. "My goodness...anyways, who are the flowers for?"

"They were delivered to Zoe Cipher-Lockhart." The lady gave Zoe the flowers, making the small girl gasp.

"Actually the card on the side says to Zoe Cipher-Lockhart and baby Lyssa or Alfor."

Zoe burst into tears of joy as Quin sat beside her, admiring the sight of his wife gushing over the flowers he had special ordered to the school.

Zoe wrapped her arms around Quin's neck and kissed his lips. "Thank you." She put a hand on her stomach. "We love them."

"I love you both." Quin kissed her head as Zoe sniffed the roses.

Sammy sat on the stage, wiping a tear away.

"Oh, such a beautiful relationship you two have." He looked over to Blayke and Madison, who were smacking and kicking each other.
"You two need some help."

...

Quin and Zoe laid on the sofa at home around 9pm.

They didn't expect Blayke home from dinner with Madison until around 11 or so, even though Blayke said he wanted to not go at all.

Zoe forced him out of the house, not wanting to let  Madison get stood up.

So now they were cuddled up under a blanket, enjoying the fireplace crackling and the movie softly playing on the TV mounted on the wall.

Quin had his head laying on Zoe's stomach as she was playing with his hair.

Perfection was what Quin was thinking.

This was the definition of perfection to him.

No thoughts of his dad bothering him, not flashbacks of Danny and his torture, and no interruptions from Bill.

None.

Just him, his beautiful young bride, and his unborn son or daughter.

He looked up and saw Zoe asleep, so he smiled and snuggled up to her, making sure she was warm.

He fell asleep that way, ready to dream of his life he wanted with Zoe and his future children.

Unfortunately, around midnight, he was shaken awake.

By Zoe .

"The hospital called!" Zoe screamed.

" Blayke was in a car accident on his way home after he dropped Madison off! He's in trouble! They don't know if he's going to make it!"

Quin's heart almost stopped. "Oh my god..."

"Let's go!" His wife ran to her room to get some different clothes on.

Quin quickly turned off the fireplace and felt like life just took a turn for the absolute worst.
