Alfie's P.O.V

As Dan was whisked away by the doctor me and Zo soon settled in the waiting room again and she fell asleep on my lap nearly straight away. I held my phone behind her back and stroked her head with one hand and scrolling through twitter and texting the hand with the other. I put my phone down and slowly fell asleep with my head resting on hers.

At 6am we were woken by a tired looking Dan and we all headed to the hospital cafe. I did not eat and neither did Dan or Zoe. We all got coffees and settled at a table.

'Basically, Phil is going to be okay, he has a cracked skull but no internal bleeding. He passed out because of his bi polar acting up so he freaked. He will be discharge in 3 or 4 days.'

Dan said smiling tiredly.

'Oh my god! Thank god he'll be okay mate!'

I said and Zoe murmured in agreement.

'You guys can go home now if you'd like'

'Yeah! Do you need anything?'

'No I'm fine. Thanks. I'm going to stay here with Phil so i'll see you guys later on yeah?'

'Yeah!'

I said and me and Zo hugged Dan then left the hospital, both breathing a sigh of relief. We got the train back to Brighton then a taxi to Zoe's house. When we got back we both changed into our pajamas and curled up in bed together.

'It's 7 am and we're now going to bed'

I chuckled as Zoe curled up against my chest.

'I'm not tired now I've had that coffee though Alf'

'What should we do?'

'I think I know'

Zoe said and pulled me ontop of her and kissed me sweetly. Lets just say I got her back for teasing me last night.

5 weeks later.

Zoe's P.O.V

The past month I'd released my beauty items I'd been planning for years and Alfie released his book. That's about all, oh yeah. And Phil has fully recovered!

I woke up at 10 am, beside Alfie still sleeping soundly. I fed the guinea pigs and made myself a slice of toast. After eating it I began to feel light headed. It came on fast. My eyes became unfocused and I felt my legs go numb. As I fell to the floor my blacked out.

Alfie's P.O.V

Harshly, I woke at the sound of a crash in the front room. I got up, stretched and wondered into the room. I saw Zoe face down, on the floor beside the work surface. I ran too her side and shook her gently and placed her on her side in the recovery position. Soon enough she began to cough in the back of her throat, and her eyes opened strivingly. I dragged her up and held her up by her waist. She coughed again and I knew she was going to be sick. I leant her over the sink as she was sick. Once she'd finished she began to cry and slowly found her feet again. She walked with my support too the sofa where she laid down on her side and curled up coughing. I knelt on the floor beside her and stroked her hair.

'What's wrong baby girl?'

I whispered.

Zoe's P.O.V

I hung up the phone with Louise and sat in the bathroom crying. I dialled Alfies mums number as she is like my mum having known her for so long.

'Hi.'

I said choking on my tears.

'I.. I think I might be.. Yeah, 5 weeks ago. No.. See you soon'

Alfie's mum said she'd by a test and bring it over right away. Alfie had headed to Marcus' as I'd assured him I was fine. I'm not. I stayed in the bathroom clutching my knees and as I heard the door open I headed to meet his mum in the hall with a dreaded SuperDrug bag.

'I'll wait right out here'

She said as I headed into the bathroom. Once I'd finished I placed the cap on and didn't look at it. I opened the door and passed it to her.

'Would you like me to look?'

I nodded in fear and she looked down and waited 30 seconds. She raised her eyebrows and looked at me, shocked. I carefully snatched it and looked. 2 strong lines. Pregnant. I'm pregnant. I can't be. No. I can't. I'm only 24. And Alfie's only 21. I placed it on the table and Alfs mum buried me into a hug.

'It'll be alright Zoe. You're so strong. You and Alf can do this. We'll help. We'll all help'

I was no longer crying, just shocked.

'H.. how do I tell Alfie?'

'Just sit him down tonight'

'Sh..sh..shouldn't I go to the doctors first?'

'He should go with you and it'll be in a few days, just tell him tonight. Make him some food or something like that'

I smiled and she soon left. I picked up my phone again and face timed a very sleepy Louise as she's been sick.

'Sooooo?'

'I am chummy. I'm pregnant.'

Hearing myself say that sounded weird, wrong. Louise shruck. Exited it seemed.

'Oh my god Zoe!! Congrats.'

'But.. Why are you exited?'

'You're having a baby Zo, with Alfie your soul mate'

I sat in silence and realised. This can be good. We can get ready. We can have this baby and be the best parents in the world. We can do it. I started to smile.

After 3 hours talking to chummy, I started cooking some chicken and making a stir fry. At 8pm Alfie got home, I'd set the table and put our food on the table. I ran at him and hugged him tightly.

' I see you're feeling better?'

'Mhm'

I said and smiled. We ate and he thanked me for the food. We spoke bout his and Marcus' video and Louise's new kittens. The time soon came. I sat beside Alfie on the sofa and took a noticeably deep breath and held one of his hands.

'Alf I need to tell you something'

'Wait.. Are you breaking up with me?!'

He said and giggled evidently joking. I playfully nipped his hand.

'Alf I know why I'm sick..'

'What.. are you okay?!'

'Yes, yes Alf I'm fine, it's just, your mum came over today'

'Why?'

'Well we found this out.'

I hesitantly took out the test from my legging pocket. I placed it in his hand and he stared down. For a good minute. Then placed it on the sofa beside him. He looked at me with tears in his eyes and a wide smile on his face. He pulled me carefully onto his lap and hugged me tightly, starting to cry near my ear.

'Zoe we can do this. We can do it Zo. I'm going to be a dad.. You're going to be a mum little one. We're having a baby'

He said and I started crying too. Out of joy.

'How far along are you'

'Around 5 weeks. We can go to the doctors tomorrow for the first ultrasound'

'Oh my god. I love you so much Zo'

He said and kissed me. Wow. Unexpected news.
