Zack crept slowly into his and Paige's bedroom, being careful not to slam the door too hard. He put his bags down and lifted his shirt off slowly, as he tiptoed over to the bed, where Paige was lying, peacefully asleep. She was curled up on one side of their massive bed, which made it easier for him to surprise her. He lifted the duvet of the tidy side and slipped in, slowly and surely pressing his body against Paige's. He wrapped an arm round her but found he couldn't control himself.

His hand started running down her thigh as she stirred from her sleep. Waking up slightly, she bit her lip and stretched out as Zack pulled her so that she was lying on her back.

"Mmm, this was a nice surprise to wake up to. Good morning!" She yawned as Zack kissed her neck. "Mmm, I thought you didn't get home until later?"

"Good morning gorgeous." Zack winked. "We weren't meant to, no but we bugged Matt." He shrugged slightly. '"Now.. be quiet and let me tell you how much I missed you and never want to spend that long away from you, ever again." Zack whispered as he slowly climbed on top of Paige, whom welcomed him by opening her legs enough for him to lay comfortably. She kissed him passionately and knew this was the man for her.

If she had ever doubted it before, she sure as hell didn't doubt a thing now. He kissed her gently, and thrust into her slowly, making the moment between them last as long as it could. Paige gasped and moaned ever so quietly; it felt like years since she'd been touched, when in reality, the last time was the morning that the boys had to leave.

And now they were back. And it was 05:39. And Paige had a feeling she was awake for good now.

"I love you, Paige." He whispered into a kiss.

Alex crept into his and Bella's bedroom, frowning when he saw an empty bed. The covers had been left strewn over one side of the bed, as if Bella had been in great heed to get out. His face contorted from a frown to confusion and he made the bed, knowing she couldn't be far, surely. Alex picked up his bags and started emptying them; he hated leaving this kind of stuff until he'd woken up. He never had the motivation to do it. Separating clean clothes from dirty and putting the clean clothes away, he chucked his now empty bags into the bottom of one of the storage wardrobes.

He walked over to the laundry basket and dumped all of his dirty clothes in there, including the shirt and the jeans which he'd just stripped off. He went to walk out of the bedroom, on a hunt for Bella when she bumped into him at the bedroom door.

"Baby!" Bella gasped as she jumped Alex, leaving him no choice in that split second but to hold her. "You're home! Why didn't you tell me you were going to be early?!" She squeezed him tight.

"Because I was going to surprise you. But you beat me to it by not being in bed! What happened?"

Bella frowned as Alex put her down and kissed her. "I felt sick so I ran to the bathroom. We spent all day cleaning and there was no way I was throwing up on the nice clean bedding." She pointed over to the bed and smiled when she realised that Alex had made it. "Baby, you're adorable. Come here." She pulled him down to an accessible height and kissed him so softly and so smooth that when she pulled away, he was begging for more.

He carried the kiss on, keeping the distance between their bodies as small as he could. Bella kissed him so passionately and lead him back to the bed backwards, trusting him to guide the way.

Alex guided her down onto the bed softly, climbing on top of her until she was laying down and begging him to proceed. He shifted Bella out of her pyjama shorts as she beckoned for his boxers to come off. And as he entered her so slowly, he lifted her pyjama vest off.

Bella was worried. She didn't want him to find out now, of all times. But he hadn't seemed to notice, as he carried on kissing her everywhere before entering her pulsing body. And kicking. Oh God. Kicking.

"Fuck me, that was amazing." Paige rolled over onto her side as she faced Zack, who played with her hair and grabbed her top leg to hoist her body closer to his. She squealed playfully and looked at the bedside clock behind Zack.

"What time is it?" He said whilst trying to shrug off a yawn.

Paige laughed. "It's 08:52. Do you wanna sleep, handsome?" She said as she stroked his hair and he snuggled into her body, nodding in reply to her question. She held him close and didn't let go, even as they both fell asleep.

"Fuck, I have missed you Bella. I love you, so much." Alex panted as he rolled onto his back. Those three special words had been said a lot in the past three hours, and Bella had said it back every single time. And she'd meant it more and more with every repetition.

"I love you too, beautiful." She whispered, kissing him on the forehead.

"Wanna tell me this news then? Considering I am here, and we are alone in the privacy of our own bedroom? Spill?" Alex begged as he turned over to face Bella.

"Alex.. I.. I don't k-know.."

"Is it something bad?"

"Tell me your definition of bad."

"Bella, just tell me. You're worrying me now. Is there someone else?"

"Technically, yes." Bella smirked, trying to be funny and watching as Alex's face changed from hurt, to confused, to anger, and repeated. "Alex, give me your hand."

Alex reluctantly held Bella's hand and looked puzzled, as he watched her roll onto her back. The curtains were drawn still, and although the sun was coming up more and more each minute, the room was still pretty dark. "Bella, what are you -"

"Just.. be quiet." She hushed as she hummed along to 'Stay Awake', placing Alex's hand on her stomach.

Despite it all being laid out in front of him, he still had no clue what was going on, or what she was trying to tell him. Until..

"I'll be fine, even though I'm not always right.." Bella sung quietly, as her stomach seemed to bounce in time to the rhythm of her singing.

Alex looked up at Bella in awe, a look of amazement on his face.
