  Zoe's P.O.V
  Once we got to the restaurant we were lead by a waitress to our table. Thankfully she was well in her forties so I didn't need to feel jealous or anything...not that I was.  &quot;What would you all like to drink?&quot; the waitress said waiting to write our order on her notepad as soon as we sat down. &quot;I'll have a water please,&quot; I said smiling at her &quot;Me too,&quot; said Crystal, and Daryl and Andy both asked for a coke. &quot;So Zo how's the little munchkin in there?&quot; Andy said pointing at my tummy from across the table.  &quot;She's so good sometimes I won't even know she's there,&quot; I said smiling while looking at the menu. &quot;Speaking of which Zoe, Andy, and I was speaking of some stuff but we wanted to ask you for your ummm permission,&quot; &quot;Sure,&quot; I said looking to Crystal who just shrugged. &quot;I want to do a collaboration wit

The past few days things cooled down and strangely Daryl doubled my security but I don't think he knows anything because he never brought it up anyways.  &quot;Zoe get your round behind off-the-counter pregnant woman!&quot; Crystal said walking into the kitchen and straight to my fridge. &quot;Since when did you and Andy switch roles raiding my fridge?&quot; I said turning to face her &quot;Funny but aren't you scared Daryl comes home and sees you on the counter....the poor boy put the maids and bodyguards to babysit you because you choose to be stubborn?!&quot; she said seriously. &quot;I am careful this is my baby too you know and I care for him or her just as much as Daryl does!&quot; I yelled before apologizing for snapping at her a
