Zion turned in his sleep and felt resistance when he tried to curl his knee up. He frowned and then slowly opened his eyes only to shut them again a second after. The light in his room was horrible, what the hell?!

He groaned when he rubbed his eyes and opened them again. He must've forgotten to draw the curtains again. When he tried to lay on his back, Zion suddenly realized that he was stuck between a soft spot and something- he looked to his right.

Oh, shit. What was she doing in his bed?

Wait a minute. He wasn't in his bed. He was trapped between Ebony Stewart and the back rest part of a couch. Her couch. He wasn't even in his room, he was in Ebony Stewart's living room. And in a split second, last night's events rushed into his still sleepy mind.

Walking her to her house. Staring at each other. Kissing. Rushing to get the baby in his crib. Rushing to the living room. More kissing. Taking off clothes and-

Shit, he thought. They had sex. Again! How the hell could that happen? He just remembered wanting her all of a sudden. As if she hadn't done him wrong at all! As if she was worthy of his time!

Zion didn't exactly know what to do next. Should he wait for her to wake up. Or should he try to leave. Before he even made up his mind, he was already looking for the best way to stand up from the couch without Bonnie waking up. That was a mission he had to complete, he decided. There was no way he could stand that awkward morning talk after what the two did last night.

Also because he obviously regretted it, he thought. He had to regret it, no doubt. Even if she was the mother of his son. His son... No, she was the mother of her own son. He wasn't supposed to think like that!

With enough patience as well as carefulness, Zion managed to stand up from the couch. Bonnie had turned to the other side with a little groan, which caused Zion to momentarily stop breathing. But when she started breathing normally again, he knew he was safe. He tip toed around and gathered his clothing articles one by one before practically running to the door.

He stopped as he touched the doorknob though and turned his head to the direction of River's room. Could he maybe just see him and-

And get caught by Ebony, Zion argued with himself. He shook his head and decided to leave. For a moment he forgot that he was standing naked on a porch. But when he heard a gasp, he realized and quickly pulled his clothes on. No neighbours were in sight, yet he knew he was being watched by them. So he rushed to get out of her neighbourhood for good.

.

When Bonnie heard her personal alarm, meaning her son was awake and waiting for her to get him out by crying, she opened her eyes and realized she had slept on the couch.

And just like with Zion, the memories from last night rushed in her head. She groaned even louder now that she knew what happened. But she couldn't dwell on a night that meant nothing. Obviously, she thought as she looked around the room and saw that he wasn't here anymore. She wondered when he left.

But that wasn't her priority, she shook her head before standing up and walked into her bedroom, immediately causing River to stop crying. She lifted him up fron his crib and went on with her daily routine.

A/N: Thinking about adding a bonus chapter of their night. What do you guys think? Should I write one?
