Not your typical baby mama

"I love seeing you happy", Zach said as he patted her head.

"Do you really have to go?" She pulled away to look up at him whilst in his embrace. "You can stay."

"I'd love that but you heard mom. Plus I'm sure you and Stella have a lot to catch up on", he said with a gentle smile to which she nodded. He held her gaze, admiring each other as he caressed her cheek before he claimed her lips with his.

It was a brief kiss that he broke and pecked her before he had to leave. He escorted her to the living room where everyone else was before leaving. Of course, he didn't forget pecking her lips before he left.

"Wow! This is a side of Zach I never thought I would see!" Becky said with a shake of her head.

"Wasn't he seeing a man? What happened to the poor fella?" Kris asked, giving Amy a judging gaze.

"It was all a misunderstanding. Amy used a voice changer as a prank on him! Really? Would Zach look anywhere else after this?" Victoria gestured at Amy's face who grew embarrassed. "Dear, we prepared a little something."

She took a box and went to Amy's side. Opening it, there was a tiara which she placed on Amy's head before taking out a white sash that had blacks words printed saying: SOON TO BE MOM. Stella, who was sitting next to Amy, smiled when she saw this on her. She could not help the affection in her eyes as she watched Victoria help Amy into the sash and appreciated how it looked before going back to stand in the middle of the living room.

"First, let me thank you guys for coming so early. We've prepared a few activities but first, let's start with food. We need to feed that baby", Victoria said giving Amy a knowing smile.

"Thank you mom", Amy said with a smile. Yes, she was famished.

"You're welcome dear", Victoria said before going to sit beside Kris.

There were so many vacant seats but she deliberately chose that one, annoying the other woman who scoffed at her. The maids came in to serve them food before leaving the women. Stella leaned in clearly amused by Kris and Victoria.

"What's with those two?" She could not help but ask.

"Well..... Would you believe me if I told you they're best friends?" Amy said with an amused smile.

"What? That doesn't seem to be the case", Stella laughed along with Amy.

Becky and Steph were awestruck when they saw Amy laugh. "She's so pretty."

"As expected of Zach. I'm already envious of the beautiful grandchild Victoria is about to have", Becky answered.

"She literally beat Kris in everything. All that's left is a wedding. I wonder what type of wedding these two will throw", Steph answered.

"They're as good as married. Look at Kris, she's hardly keeping it together", Adelaide added making the two women giggle.

Meanwhile, Stella and Amy's laughs died down as the older woman gently stroked Amy's hair. Amy could see the affection in her eyes and her lips lifted.

"I was so worried about you after you left", Stella sighed. Amy was about to speak when Stella shook her head. "No, I understand you. I'm really glad you're safe. I knew we would see each other again but not this soon. I can only thank Zach for calling me here."

Yes, the call Stella received the day Lily visited was from Zach where they discussed arrangements to get them here without falling on the enemy's radar. Stella was the happiest with that news. She would finally be able to see Amy and her heart calmed down after seeing the girl safe and sound.

"I'm happy you're here", Amy confessed. At least there was someone she very comfortable with.

"I know the answer to this but I can't help but ask, is he treating you well? Zach I mean", she asked with a smile.

A happy smile stretched on Amy's lips and her eyes sparkled as she thought of Zach. "He is. He's so good to me."

"That's good. What about the sex?"

Amy gasped and looked at the women to see if they heard. "Stella!" She whiaper shouted.

Stella laughed when she saw Amy's reddened face. "Is it wrong to know? He needs to be good to you in all areas."

"You haven't changed", Amy shooked her head.

"Well you're lucky. Richard and I haven't done it since the accident. Oh! How I miss his-"

"Too much! I don't want to know!" Amy shook her head. This woman can never change.

Stella gave a hearty laugh seeing Amy who was embarrassed. This is why she always loved to tease Amy: this reaction. It was priceless. Amy also laughed as looked at Stella. As embarrassing as it is, she loved Stella like this.

"I've really missed you Stella", she said with a sigh.

"I have too, dear. So much."

"I wish... I wish you could stay." She guessed the visit was a one time thing specifically for her baby shower.

Stella gave her a smile and said, "Well, Zach made your wish come true."

,m "What?" Surprise was evident on Amy's features.

Stella took hold of Amy's hand and her gaze was a gentle one as she said, "I know you have a wonderful mother-in-law but every girl needs their mother during this important time. I may not be your biological mother and may not do as much for you, but I wish to be there when you bring this little one into the world."

"You mean that?" Amy's eyes shone with tears as her heart filled with warmth from Stella's words.

"Of course dear. I'm not going anywhere. I'll be here."

Amy could not believe this. When Zach promised that she'll only have people who love her beside her during this important time, he meant it and fulfilled his words. How lucky was she to have such a man in her life?
