Zoe tried not to look at Connor. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she stared at the ground. She shook her head when he finally spoke after the long bit of silence that followed the bomb she had dropped on Connor's life.

"Zoe, I.. I don't know what I'm supposed to say.. This wasn't supposed to happen.."

Zoe looked at him. "Tell me everything is going to be okay? I-I don't know what I'm going to do if everything is not okay." Zoe was shaking from her sobs she was trying to hold back as she watched Connor. He was right, this wasn't supposed to happen. Zoe never intended on something like this. She felt as if she ruined not one, not two, but three lives. Connor's, her own, and the baby's. Zoe felt terrible. She felt like she had at dinner, only the feeling of nausea that spread throughout her body was much more intense. Zoe took deep breaths to calm herself and her stomach. She was more scared than nervous. Would Connor stay by her side through this? What would her parents do? Would Chloe understand or turn her back on Zoe. Zoe needed comfort more than anything right now and the only person she could obtain that from was Connor, but she wasn't sure if he could handle something like this. She wasn't even sure she could handle something like this.

"Connor, please tell me everything is going to be okay." Zoe pleaded.

"Connor, please tell me everything is going to be okay."

He wasn't sure he could tell her what she wanted to hear, even though he knew it would make her feel better. He knew for a fact that everything was not going to be okay. Connor had a million things running through his head. What it both of their families would say and think, whether they would decide to keep the baby, give it up for adoption or not even have it, what small, petite Zoe would look like with a swollen belly, and how what happened on one night could potentially fuck up the rest of both of their lives. That was only the tip of the ice berg, there were countless other things running through his head. After a few more minutes of silence, Connor sighed and stood up, holding his arms out to Zoe and cautiously moving towards her. Once she was in his arms, he felt his muscles relax and wrapped his arms firmly around her and held her tight against his chest. Connor took his free hand and gently smoothed her hair, making quiet, soothing sounds.

"Shh, shh," he said, to the sobbing Zoe, "Everything will be okay.. We'll figure this out."

Zoe felt as if she were crumbling from the inside out. She stood there, shaking from silent sobs as she watched Connor sit there in shock. Zoe didn't want to do this alone, but she felt as if this was all her fault. She had to fix what she stirred up. Whether or not she had to do it alone was completely up to fate. And right now, fate was sitting in her backyard, totally unsure of what to do.

Zoe inhaled shakily and looked at Connor. "I'm sorry Connor." Her voice barely a whisper as he got up and started for her, his arms open.

"Shh, shh, everything will be okay.. We'll figure this out."

Zoe felt his arms wrap around her shoulders and that thread holding her back from bawling her eyes out snapped. She wasn't sure if it was because it finally sank in that she was pregnant, or the fact that Connor wasn't going to leave her. Zoe pressed her face into Connor's chest and sobbed. She was relieved that he would stay with her through this, but scared for the child. What were they going to do? Zoe contemplated abortion but she just couldn't stand to have that happen. Would her parents disown her? Where would she go? Zoe shook her head and tried not to think of that just yet. Right now all she was worried about was being there, with Connor, to get through this together.

Connor rested his chin on the top of Zoe's head and stared out into her backyard. He wasn't sure what they should do next, who they should tell. He was worried about telling their parents, but he was even more worried about telling Chloe, afraid that it would ruin her relationship with Zoe, who was already fragile enough as it is. Personally, he thought it would be best to tell everyone as soon as possible, unless Zoe wanted to wait. Sighing, he lifted his chin from Zoe's head and pulled away from her, resting one hand on her waist and raising the other to her cheek, gently wiping her tears away.

"You know we're going to have to tell everyone.. Including Chloe," he said quietly, "But it's up to you when.."

Hollywood Hero · by **Hollywood Hero** on Thu Jul 28, 2011 1:05 am

Zoe slowly calmed down a bit, but she was still a little shaky from crying so much. She didn't know why she had even bothered with makeup that night. By now she was sure her eyes looked like those of a raccoon. When she felt Connor pull away from her, Zoe reluctantly looked up at him.

"You know we're going to have to tell everyone.. Including Chloe," he said quietly, "But it's up to you when.."

Zoe sniffled and nodded. "I-I know, but how? I can't just walk up to my parents, or even Chloe and say 'Hey, Chloe, just wanted to let you know that I'm pregnant, and, oh yeah, your brother's the father." Zoe sighed and placed her hand over Connor's that rested on her cheek. "I just don't want our friendship to be crushed." She shook her head. "I should have told her about us before things got this bad. Yeah she would have been upset, but Chloe and I always make up. How are we going to make up with her knowing that, one, I was dating her brother behind her back, two, I lied to her, and three, I slept with you and ended up pregnant."

Zoe was trying to keep her voice down, but with everything becoming a reality, she couldn't keep things quiet anymore. She looked at Connor and bit her lip. "If I tell her, there will be trouble for sure. But the consequences of waiting until it's apparent that I am in fact pregnant are so much worse." She inhaled deeply and after a few moments, she exhaled slowly. "Give me a week to try and figure out how I'm going to explain this to her. A week." Zoe nodded, assuring herself that a week to figure out an explanation seemed reasonable, she just hoped Chloe was as understanding as Zoe hoped for her to be.

"A week," Connor whispered and nodded, slipping both of his arms around Zoe's waist, pulling her back to him and into a soft kiss. He smiled at her and lifted a hand to her face, lightly brushing a lock of hair behind her ear. A small grin appeared on Connor's face as an idea came to mind. He gave Zoe a small kiss on the lips and then took off, easily clearing the fence between their houses. Once he was over, he peaked over the fence at her.

"Well," he said, "Are you coming?"

Quickly, he pulled his shirt over his head, kicked his shoes off and shimmied out of his sweatpants. Moments later, he dove elegantly into his pool, barely making a sound except for a light splash of water. Thankfully, during the colder seasons, they usually kept the heater on, so the water was nice and warm against his skin. He watched from the deep end as Zoe climbed over the fence, landing with a soft thud. When she turned around, he smiled playfully at her and motioned for her to get it with him.

Zoe smiled lightly and sighed. Connor somehow always seemed to know what to do in a time of need. Zoe was so happy he didn't freak out about the whole pregnant thing. She was scared to death that he would leave her. She knew better than to expect that from him, though. Connor was truly a sweetheart, Zoe was just happy that he was the one to be the father of her child rather than some guy who would leave her alone to fend for herself.

When Connor pulled Zoe in for a kiss, she relaxed a little bit and tried to see the bright side of this. She was with Connor and he was staying. No matter what happened between Chloe and herself, Zoe would be able to come clean about the lie she had made up earlier. With one more kiss, Connor was off, hopping over the fence like a mad man. Zoe blinked, unsure of what had just happened. She looked to the fence and stared, confused.

"Well, are you coming?"

Zoe raised an eyebrow and quietly made her way to the fence, pulling herself up and over, gracefully landing with a barely audible thud. She saw Connor's clothes laying around the pool deck. Zoe looked to the water and smiled. She laughed quietly and walked to the edge of the pool. "It's freezing out here, the pool might be heated, but once you get out you're going to turn to ice!"

Zoe chuckled as she slipped off her sweater, camisole, flats, then her jeans before slowly lowering herself into the pool. The water crept up her skin sending goosebumps all down her arms before she was fully in the water. Zoe pulled her hair back into a loose bun and tied it up with a hair tie she had around her wrist before moving towards Connor. "I don't know who's crazier, you thinking this was a good idea, or me for actually following through with it." She grinned and listened to the quiet hum of the water heater.

"Don't worry, I'll keep you warm if you get cold," he said with a playful grin on his face as she slowly lowered herself into the water. Connor couldn't help but picture what she would eventually look like, when she was further into the pregnancy, but quickly shook the thought from his head. Right now, he needed to focus on cheering his girlfriend up and getting her mind off of their current situation. Besides, he knew he would love Zoe, no matter what her body looked like.

Without warning, Connor dove back under water and swam towards Zoe, grabbing her leg lightly before pulling her under with him. He hadn't turned the pool lights on before he got on, so it was too dark to see anything other than dull shapes underwater, not that he was complaining. Connor let his hands do the seeing for him, trailing them up her sides so he could get a light grip on her waist and the back of her neck, pulling her roughly through the water and to him. Thankfully, Connor was a swimmer in high school, so he could hold his breath longer then most people, he just hoped that Zoe could do the same, or at least almost the same.

Holding onto her, he let his lips slightly brush against her neck, then her ear, her cheek, and finally her lips. But instead of of kissing Zoe, he let go of her and briskly swam away, into the deeper part of the pool, resurfacing a few seconds later, his breathing light, his smile devious.

Zoe watched as Connor dove underwater. She couldn't really see where he went until it was too late. Zoe caught a glimpse of his shadow before he pulled her under, giving her enough time to take a deep breath. Once underwater, Zoe looked around, she couldn't really make out anything but a large blurry figure she assumed to be Connor. Zoe felt his hands trail up to her waist and neck. Zoe lightly placed a hand on Connor's shoulder. She felt his lips trace a familiar line starting from her neck and ending with her lips.

Zoe moved closer, thinking he would kiss her, but he swam away. She resurfaced and looked around, finally spotting Connor in the deeper end of the pool. "Tease." She joked, a mischievous smirk, playing on her lips. Zoe pulled the hair tie from her hair ad quietly sank underwater. She swam closer to Connor, resurfacing a couple feet in front of him. Zoe slowly inched closer and closer until he was within arms distance. "Marco." She purred quietly.

"You love it," Connor teased, as he watched Zoe take her hair down. He kept his eyes close on her blurry form as she swam underwater, straight for him. He watched the way every contour of her body flexed as she swam closer and closer, coming up a couple of feet away, but slowly closing the distance between them until she was arms length away.

"Marco." she purred, quiet enough to where he was barely able to hear it over the dull hum of the pool.

Connor eyed her suspiciously, unsure of what she was going to do to get him back for what he did a few moments ago. They were close to the edge of the pool in the deep end, close enough for him to kick off the side. A small, devious smirk fell over Connor's face.

"Polo," he cooed, slowly crouching his legs against his body and quickly extending them and pushing off the wall the moment his feet came into contact with it. As the force of his legs bounding off the wall pushed him through the water, Connor outstretched his arms, closing them again as soon as he came into contact with Zoe and somewhat tackling her back into the water with him. He made sure to hold her close against his body as they glided through the water, a bit slower now that the momentum from his pushing off the wall was decreasing. Being this close to her, he could make out the features of her face he loved most about her. Her lips, her eyes, her nose and her adorable dimples that formed around her mouth when she smiled.

Zoe was about to make her move when Connor sprang towards her, tackling her back into the water with him. It took a few seconds for Zoe to recover from being beaten at her own game. Zoe opened her eyes and looked at Connor. He was so close, she could nearly make out every detail of his facial structure. The was his cheekbones caressed his eyes, that smirk that always seemed to tug at Zoe's heart.

Zoe smiled and wrapped her arms around Connor's neck before pressing her lips to his. Whenever she kissed him, all her problems seemed to dissolve. She was no longer pregnant Zoe, nor liar Zoe, not even 'sneaks-around-with-best-friend's-brothers' Zoe. She was just Zoe. She never got butterflies thinking about Connor, she got an entire stampede. Just thinking about his kiss sent a sensation through her that she couldn't quite explain. It was like that the first time she ever kissed Connor, and has been that way ever since. He was something completely surreal to Zoe. She just wished she didn't have to sneak around to be able to see him.Zoe pulled back ever so slightly and rested her forehead against his.

After a few minutes, Zoe looked at Connor and sighed. "I should really get going before the morning sickness kicks in." Zoe let go of him and stepped back. "Same time tomorrow?" She bit her lip and looked into his gorgeous grey eyes.

Chloe rushed up the Forest's stairs, nearly tripping over herself several times. Earlier that morning, she had called Donovan and invited him to breakfast, and told him she was going to bring Zoe too. She had already tried calling her best friend, but no matter how many times she called, or how many texts she sent, she never replied, which forced her to come over and wake her up herself. Anything Chloe ever wanted done, it seemed, she always had to do herself. Sighing, she opened Zoe's door and saw her best friend, sprawled out on her bed, still fast asleep. With a sly grin on her face, Chloe jumped onto the bed next to her friend and shook Zoe until she started to stir.

"Hey, you," she said, still gently shoving Zoe, "Wake up. We're going to breakfast with Donovan, and I'm not taking no for an answer."

Zoe had fallen asleep a little after four when she had managed to finally settle her stomach. She was having quite peaceful dreams until an earthquake struck the quaint little town of dreamland. But it wasn't an earthquake at all. Zoe slowly opened one eye, then the other. Chloe came into view once Zoe's eyes adjusted to the sunlight filling the room through a small window and the violent shaking Chloe was causing. Zoe Grunted and propped herself up on her elbows when Chloe stopped shaking her. "B-Breakfast?" She slurred, trying to rub the sleep from her eyes. "What time is it?" She asked, looking at her phone which rested on the bedside table next to her bed. It read nine thirty. Zoe sighed and rolled over, slowly sitting up before trudging to her closet. She looked back at Chloe through an open door and yawned. "So, where are we going?"

Donovan Michael Truthe stepped into the small hole-in-the-wall restaurant. The place smelled of eggs and bitter coffee. A woman, about twenty five, very short blonde hair, piercings, far too athletic build greeted Donovan at the door.

"Hello sir, welcome to Faviette's, would you like to eat inside or out?"

Donovan inhaled and thought for a second then smiled. "It's a nice day out, so why not. I'll take a seat outside. I'm also expecting two pretty ladies to join me, if you see them, please direct them to me. One's shorter, about ye high," He held his hand up to his shoulders to indicate Zoe. " And the other with long dark hair. You can't miss 'em." He smiled and followed the lady outside. Zoe and Chloe should be there any minute.
