---------------------------------------

Victoria's P.O.V.

It's been five days since Calum and I spoke, and he hasn't had any alcohol which I'm so glad about.

I tried contacting Jess yesterday, but she won't answer.

"Baby?" Luke calls.

"Yes?" I question as he walks into our room.

"Do you really think Calum was okay at his place himself last night?" Luke asks.

"Call him and check in on him." I reply.

"I did, but he won't answer." Luke sighs.

"I'm sure he's okay, Luke. Don't forget how early it is. You're only awake because I was throwing up." I tell him.

Luke walks over to me and rests his hands on my little bump.

"Why are you giving mummy such a hard time." Luke mumbles, rubbing my stomach.

I smile taking one of his hands in mine.

"Do you know how amazing you are?" I whisper.

"I like to think I'm pretty amazing." He smirks.

I roll my eyes, "You're an idiot."

My phone rings from beside me, Jess is calling.

"Luke, go away, it's Jess." I mutter.

He groans, "Fine."

"Hey.." I slowly answer.

"Vic.." Jess cries through the phone.

"What? What happened?" I ask.

She sniffles, "It's just Zoe. The guys new video came on and she recognized Cal. She was yelling for her dad. I don't know what to do Vic.."

"I-I.. Maybe you should let Calum see her." I mumbles.

"But I don't want to talk to him, I don't want to see him." She quietly says.

"Bring Zoe by here, I'll call Calum over. I think he'd like walking in here and seeing his baby girl." I reply.

"Is he doing okay?" She nervously asks.

"He's still really sad." I softly say.

She stays quiet before replying, "It's his fault."

"But Jess, he needs to see his baby." I quietly reply.

She sighs, "I know."

"So bring Zoe here. Jess, I don't think you understand how much he needs her." I mumble.

"Fine. I'll bring her by. Only for the weekend though. I can't trust him with anything anymore." She replies.

"You will?" I ask.

"I'll see you in a few hours." She tells me, ending the call.

-

"All her stuff she'll need is in this bag, Calum should know what he's doing. I'll let her stay here for the weekend." She tells me, handing over the baby and her bag.

"Vic? Who's at the door?" Luke calls.

"He can't see me, I've gotta go." She quickly says.

I sigh and Jess quickly presses a kiss to Zoe's forehead, "I love you baby girl."
