Hey guys, this part is really short and not very good but I hope you all like it. Now, I want to remind everyone that this is a fiction book so of course it isn't real and whatever happens in here won't happen out in the real world. But anyway glamberts, enjoy and remember, 4 MORE DAYS. (5 in Australia I think >_<)

The slam of the front door and the screech of tires was what Zoe heard next, she had no idea what had happened as they had stopped yelling.

Zoe left her room and knocked gently on her father's door, she didn't know who had left so angry. The door opened to reveal Adam, his face was covered in tears that he had tried to wipe away.

"What happened?" She asked softly, they both sat down on the bed.

"We had an argument, Tommy left to cool down." Adam managed to reply without crying more. He sniffled, wiping away his tears, holding in more.

"Do you think it's safe for him to drive while angry? Let alone sick?" Zoe asked gently, Adam shrugged.

"I don't know... He never really gets angry... He should be home soon. Trust me" He smiled warmly at his daughter.

He was so proud of Zoe, besides her actions lately, he was so proud of her, she has been so strong lately, she has become more comfortable and accepting of Tommy... But one thing worried Adam, she always finches now, whenever he would lift his arm up to point, she would flinch, he went to hug her yesterday but she avoided it... She won't let anyone touch her, not even a pat on the shoulder.

"Dad?" Zoe spoke loudly, breaking Adam out of his thoughts.

"I'm sorry, what did you say?" Adam chuckled softly.

"I'm going for a lay down, is that okay?"

"Yeah, of course, shut my door on your way out" He smiled, as soon as she was gone and had shut the door, Adam broke down into tears, he needed his husband by his side... What if something bad happens to him again? Adam slid down to the floor, his back to the wall. Why does everything start out as an argument?

Last night was amazing, they were alone and had their own time, as newlyweds, something they couldn't do due to the shooting....

Tommy slammed down on the brakes as hard as he could, causing the car to screech against the road. Tears streamed down his face.

He didn't understand why Adam was so angry about Zoe wanting to go back to school? Well, he could half understand but he needs to realize that Zoe is stronger this time, she won't fall victim to everything like she did last time.

It was only 10am and Tommy was feeling much better...Why had he been sick in the morning and fine now?

He pulled out his phone.... Staring at his lock screen, it was him and Adam on their wedding day before he was shot. He wanted to call Adam so badly, but what if Adam didn't want him back?

What if this meant the end? It can't! It can't be over, they have been through too much to just end it over this little fight.

Tommy started the ignition again and drove towards Hayley's house. He thought about staying there for a few hours before heading back to Adam.


He pulled up into the drive-way and turned off the car, he got out and locked it, walking up to the front door.

He pressed the doorbell and waited... As he was about to give up and go, the door opened, revealing a tired looking Monte.

"Hey man, what are you doing here?" He asked wiping his eyes. Monte looked at Tommy more clear to see his red puffy eyes. "Come in"

"Adam and I had a fight," Was all Tommy said, his gaze kept to the polished marble floor.

"Tommy!!" Hayley yelled happily from the hallway, she ran up and gave him a tight hug. "What's wrong?" She asked as she looked at his face.

"Trouble in paradise." Monte spoke. "Beer?" He asked as he walked into the kitchen.

"Would love one" Tommy smiled softly.

"One downside about pregnancy, no beer" Hayley pouted, Tommy laughed softly.

"Don't worry, Hay. Not far too go" He smirked, opening his beer.

"So TJ, do tell, what happen?" Monte spoke, sitting down at the bar stool.

"Zoe wanted to go back to school and Adam said no, but I said it would be good for her."

"So it caused an argument between you two?" Hayley questioned.

"Yes, he is just under stress and he is hurt over the whole baby situation and now he has a new album coming out, he doesn't mean to get angry" Tommy explained, protecting Adam.

"Still doesn't give him an excuse, TJ." Monte spoke sternly.

Tommy went to reply when his stomach suddenly churned, he could feel it rising in his throat, without thinking, he ran straight to the bathroom, leaving a confused Hayley and Monte.

"Tommy, are you okay?" Hayley asked softly, knocking on the bathroom door.

He walked out of the bathroom, his face pale white, his body trembling.

"I should go, thank you for the talk" Tommy spoke, walking off to his car.

Monte called out to him but he just ignored them and drove off.


"Thomas Ratliff?" A nurse called out after 3 hours waiting.

I sighed as I followed her down a corridor and into a separate room, another doctor walked in shortly after.

"Hello Mr Ratliff, what can I help you with today" He asked softly.

"I am just here to get a check up, I have been feeling very ill lately." Tommy spoke softly. It killed him to know Adam wasn't here by his side since Adam was the one who wanted him to go.

"Okay, I will take a few blood tests that will figure out what's wrong" The doctor smiled softly.

Another painful hour of waiting, the tests were back, the doctor walked back into the room where Tommy is... His face pale white.

"Is it bad?" Tommy asked, a lump forming in his throat.

"Thomas, you're pregnant." The doctor spoke slowly.

"I'm what...." Tommy sat down, shock was his only emotion visible...
