Chapter 1.5: Samuel the Unexpected

A couple of weeks later, as Jonathan was returning home, he heard some interesting news. A new couple had just arrived in town. They were Samuel and Melissa Harries-Gray. Jonathan knew who that man was. It was Zoe's father. He told her about him being there, but she didn't even want to listen. She clearly didn't want to get reunited with her only family.
So, he decided to tell her the other thing he had been thinking of for days. He first hugged her and kissed, her, making her feel more important and loved than ever.

Then, he put one of his knees on the floor, and Zoe quickly knew what he was about to do. She could feel the tears reaching her eyes. She was about to cry. Jonathan searched for something on one of his pockets, and finally found a not very big box. He opened it, and Zoe saw a beautiful ring, with a diamond. That ring had probably costed more than it should have. Feeling very shy and a little insecure, Jonathan asked: "Zoe Anne Harries, do you wish to be my wife for the rest of our lifes?".
Zoe started crying, so much that she couldn't even say "yes", so she just nodded. Jonathan took the ring and put it on her finger. Then they hugged, and Zoe was finally able to tell his newly fiancée how much she loved him.

While hugging her, Jonathan whispered that she was beautiful, and that he loved her more than he could have ever imagined, they headed to the bed. Zoe suddenly felt insecure. Jonathan had very patient since she had told him that she hadn't been with a man before. She knew she loved him, but she didn't want to make any mistakes. She blushed more than what could have been possible, and stopped hugging his fiancée.
He saw how nervous she was, so he sat in the bed and told her to do the same. He carefully stroke her cheek, and told her that he wouldn't do anything she didn't want, but that if she never tried, she would never get rid of that fear. He kissed her again, and then gently caressed one of her arms.
And she soon found herself decided to spend the most amazing night of her life with the most amazing of the mens. She kissed him back, and laid down on the bed. He kissed her neck, and she started to be sure about what she wanted for the night. Everything would be alright.

Zoe woke up extremely exhausted the next day, like she hadn't slept at all. That night was awesome. Jonathan had treated her like a princess, and she found herself really enjoying being treated like that. Yet, the fact that his father was in Storybrook County made her feel nervous. The last time she saw him, he was sitting in a couch with a beer on his hand, completely drunk; but aparently, he was now a very famous journalist, and was engaged to a beautiful young actress called Melissa Gray.

She had heard of her. She had been very polemic with her last relationship, which had ended only a couple of months ago, so her father and her couldn't have been together for a long time. It worried her. Her father was probably just dating her because of the money, which also meant that he had almost certainly moved to Storybrook County for a reason. And that reason was probably her.

That same morning, after auditioning for his first gig, Jonathan headed to Samuel and Melissa Harries-Gray's house. He wanted to meet him, and learn more about him. They soon ended up becoming friends, and Jonathan also discovered that Melissa was pregnant. That was going to be weird for Zoe, getting a half-sibling at the age of 22.

But Zoe also found out something while she was at home, after having stayed at home because of an illness. She was pregnant as well. She was gonna be a mother. And she wasn't totally sure about being prepared for it.

The next morning, and after telling his husband the good news, she asked for some pancakes. She had wanted them since a couple of hours ago, when she woke up at 6am.

Yet, Jonathan was still not the best cook, so he ended up burning them... and the oven.

Later that day, the couple headed to the festival grounds, where Jonathan's first gig would take place. It was then when the magician decided to tell his fiancée about having visited her father and about Melissa's pregnancy. She didn't really like what he had done, but the argument between them had to stop because it was time for the gig to start. Despite, being upset, Zoe sat down on the first and only row, and cheered Jonathan, though she was the only one watching the show.

After the show had ended, Zoe decided that being upset to her boyfriend was ridiculous, so she kissed him, in front of everyone. They loved each other, and there was nothing wrong about it. Not even having a child without being married.

Another chapter completed! I would love to get some name suggestions, since I'm pretty awful at choosing them and always end up using the same three or four. Also, I wanted to introduce you to Samuel and Melissa:

I know he doesn't look old, but it was that or having a grandad for Zoe

Hope you liked it :)
