Chapter 67

I woke to a light knocking on the door, “Yeah?” I called, Rachel came in and smiled softly at us both, “Is she okay?”

“Now we’ve talked,” I nodded and nudged her gently.

Cam yawned and looked over her shoulder to me and then up to her mom, “Hey,” She mumbled, her voice thick with sleep.

“Coming for some dinner?” Rachel offered quietly, 

“Yeah,” Cam nodded gently as I sat up to stretch,

“We’ll be down in a bit,” I added.

When Rachel shut the door Cammie got up and smoothed her clothes, I lay contently watching her as her hands ran over her belly. I cocked my head to the side as she lifted her shirt and looked in the mirror.

“Zach,” She looked over to me, realisation flooding her face, I nodded, seeing what she was. I slid off the bed and walked over to her, kissing her cheek before I knelt in front of her and kissed her belly.

“I love you,” I whispered as I closed my eyes, “Both of you,”

We joined everyone else in the Grand Hall and took a seat with the rest of our class mates.

“Anna,” Cam spoke up before we sat down, “I’m sorry for snapping at you.”

“It’s okay Cammie,” Anna smiled to us.

“So what are we doing now?” Tina asked as we started our meals.

“We have two options,” I told them, “Find her, or wait for her.”

“Or give her bait,” Cam whispered.

“No,” I glared at her, “Don’t be ridiculous!”

“Not happening Cam,” Bex agreed.

“I say we find her,” Macey suggested, “She’s always finding us, it won’t take long for her to …” She trailed off as she looked to Cammie.

“It’s the same thing happening again,” Cam sighed and shook her head, “Everybody else risking their lives for me,”

“Well,” Tina began to point out, “Like it or not Cam, you’re a Gallagher Girl. That means other Gallagher Girls will protect you.”

There was a mumbling of agreement around the table.

“We’ll sort it Cammie,” I squeezed her hand, “I promise.”

After Cam had gone to bed that night I slipped out of our room and sat at the top of the Grand Staircase, thinking about what a mess this was.

“What are you doing up?” Townsend’s voice alarmed me.

“Thinking about her and this whole mess,” I shrugged as he took a seat next to me.

“I’m not mad that you got Cam pregnant,” He told me, “I was worried,” He looked to me, “I knew you’d do best by yourselves and the baby but I always worried that something like this may happen.”

“You guessed she’d be after an heir?” I looked to him.

“That’s all she was after when I …” He trailed off and shrugged, “You know,”
