Not your typical baby mama

Chapter 236 Time Will Tell

"I.... I", Amy's brows furrowed in confusion. The news was too shocking for her. It was too sudden for her. She was snapped out of her state when Roserie let go of her nipple and started crying.

"Give her to me", he held out his hands and she did.

She fixed her dress. Zach knew she needed a minute to process the news. So he worked on calming down their daughter and stayed beside her. She needed the support.

"How did I... How did I not know about this? Although she refused to keep contact, I still.... Oh my gosh! I-"

"Amy", Zach warned her and reminded her at the same time.

"I know, I can't blame myself for things I have no control over but this... This is so sudden... I just...." Tears were already rolling down her cheeks.

Zach had two crying girls seeking his attention. Amy wiped her own tears and forced herself to calm down before she took Roserie from him.

Breastfeeding her did not calm her down and Amy's tears were still falling. He moved to sit leaning against the headboard and pushed her back to lean against him so he could embrace them both.

"I'm sorry baby. I know this is hard for you", He whispered, kissed the back of her head then rested his chin on her shoulder.

Amy closed her eyes and tears escaped as they rolled down her cheeks. She sniffled and looked down to make sure she was feeding Roserie properly before leaning back into Zach.

"I need to see her", she whispered.

"Let's wait to hear from George", he whispered back.

"Okay."

She relaxed in his embrace. It was now she realized that the little one had stopped crying and was focusing on feeding. She wiped her little year stained face. So it wasn't just her, Zach had the ability to calm her down too. She felt his lips press against her soft spot between her neck and shoulder. Amy felt a tingle and arched her back as her body was still sensitive.

"What was that for?" She asked softly.

"No reason", he said as he looked over her shoulder, down at their baby. "But I have to say that we made such a good looking kid."

Amy chuckled at this. "You know you're just complimenting yourself."

"There's no harm in self love", he answered with pride.

She turned her head to look at him. "Were you always like this or was I just blinded by love?"

Zach chuckled before he hooked a finger under her chin and claimed her lips. He enjoyed the softness of hers as they brushed against his. For Amy, it felt like an eternity had passed since they shared a kiss but a third wheeler just had to interrupt. Roserie broke into sobs as she started crying again.

Zach chuckled as Amy hardly fought a laugh in disbelief. "Oh my gosh! Even when you're out of my stomach."

"I like her. We're keeping her", Zach said with a happy smile.

Amy was about to respond when a knock was heard. Zach covered her up with a scarf before permitting the person in. Suzy walked in with Trevor who had an unhappy expression.

"I thought I would never see this little prince", Amy chuckled shifted in her seat, adjusting the scarf.

"Say hello", Suzy patted him on his back as she went to Amy.

"Hello."

"What's wrong with you?" Amy asked curiously.

Trevor furrowed his brows in displeasure before walking over to them. He stood with his arms folded against his chest. "I thought you were going to leave him for me."

Amy and Suzy gave an awkward laugh especially when Zach gave Amy an accusing gaze. "Mmmm.... That's currently an impossible thing for me to do. So, tell me what you want? I'll compensate."

"How can you compensate for my broken heart?" He grumbled as he went to a sofa in the room and sluggishly threw himself there. "I don't need money, I need love...."

He gave her a pitiful look before looking away. Amy's jaw dropped. "You sure he's twelve?"

"Turning thirteen", Trevor corrected, giving her that glance again before looking away.

"Don't pay attention to this drama queen. Some patients introduced Stephen to some telenovelas and now they're both hooked", she shook her head.

"Why didn't you bring Stephen with you?" Amy asked while giving her a teasing smile.

"This- This is work, not some vacation", she tucked strands of hair behind her ears exposing her blushing face. Suzy cleared her throat. "How are you feeling?"

"We've caught up on some sleep but I'm still weak."

"Mm. How about this little one?" Suzy smiled as looked at Roserie who was still feeding. "She has such an appetite."

"So far, so good. Do you want to have a look at her?"

"No need. But I have this friend of mine, a pediatrician, she works here in the city. Really good. You can give her a call and she'll privately attend to Roserie", she took out a card from her purse and Zach received it. He nodded in response.

"Thank you Suzy", Amy said. "For everything."

Suzy waved a hand of dismissal. "No. What are friends for? We came to check on you and say hello. We'll leave you guys alone. Come on Trevor!"

The boy got up and said his goodbye whilst still sulking before he left with his mother. Amy shook her head and turned her head to find her big boy frowning. "What?"

"You didn't tell me we were bringing a grown man in our house", Zach accused.

"What man?" Amy was confused.

"Dr. Glynne's son."

Amy broke out into a laugh only to stop when she realized how serious he was. Her jaw fell open in disbelief. "Are you serious right now? He's twelve!"

"Yet it didn't stop you from telling him that you would leave me for him."

"Wow." She removed the scarf, released Roserie and fixed her dress.

Zach took the child from her as he complained. "Who knew your mother was like this? Looks like it's going to be you and me."

"Is that you letting me go to another- mmm!"

Zach silenced her with his lips inciting a surprised moan from her. He was only holding her chin and used the other hand to hold Roserie. She moved to be more comfortable as she held onto him with her hands locked behind his neck. They slowly broke the kiss when her phone started to ring.

"Never. That's my answer." His aura changed to one of dominance and sexiness. Amy wondered how he managed to pull that off. Well, it shouldn't be a wonder. He was Zach Frost. "Understood?"

"Yes."

He pecked her lips again before helping her get the phone that was on the night stand next to him. An amused smile stretched on her lips as she showed him the caller ID. He too was amused though he didn't give much of a reaction but she saw it in his eyes. She swiped to answer and pressed the phone to her ear.

"You said to call when there's news from that side?" Pedro's familiar voice resounded on the other end in his grumpiness.

"I guess there is", Amy said in amusement.

"We're due to receive the new product in a week's time. Everyone is getting ready for this", he explained.

,m "Good. Keep me posted."

"Don't be mistaken. You're not my superior to talk to me like that. I hope you remember that I'm only doing this because of our deal", Pedro snarled. He hated how Amy was in control of him and his group and the whole situation.

"Hmmm.... I never implied that I was. At the same time, I have the upper hand. So what does that make me?" She smirked when she said this.

Zach felt his heart swell with pride when he saw her not cower in front of guys like Pedro. But who was she? A.J, his wife and mother of his child.

"I'm not doing this to establish who's in power and who isn't, if that's how you feel, deal with it. Your inferiority complex has nothing to do with me. You don't like the situation, I won't force you to like it. The least you can do is do this for that child who died. Isn't it because of your men's greediness that she lost her life like that?"

Amy heard something crumble from the other end. She didn't need to guess who pissed off he was to be brought into this situation. When the first clinic trial failed, the men who were asked to dispose of the failed drug got a little greedy and thought to make some quick money.

It wasn't just Pedro's men, some other groups had gotten hold of the failed drug. Mona just happened to be that spoiled rich killed willing to spend a ridiculous amount of money on drugs to get high.

Unfortunately, she got the wrong drugs. It was only her death that was heard of in relation to the drug. Who knows what had happened to the others who got a hold of the drug? Their Faye was obvious, but what happened to them? Time would tell. Pedro killed the man who sold her the drugs so it doesn't lead back to his group.

"Since you know what those people are selling, why don't you do some good for humanity?" Amy concluded before hanging up.

As much as Pedro hated the situation, that was indeed the least he could do. And he could not afford to do anything funny. He knew her identity and he knew what she had done to Viper that B class assassin.

Amy looked at Zach and smiled. He had overhead the conversation just now. He could not help but feel proud of her.

"We're almost there", she said.

"Almost there", Zach agreed.
