"I'm going to miss you", Suzy whined in Amy's ear as the two exchanged a hug.
"Me tooooooo", Amy whined back.
They both sighed as they broke the embrace and then smiled at each other. Amy hasn't always been a people's person but when she gets close friends, moments like these were bittersweet.
She looked beside Suzy where Trevor stood. The mother and son had already their goodbyes to everyone and we're being escorted out by Zach and Amy. As they had arrived, they were leaving through Zach's private helicopter.
Amy's brows went up in amusement when she caught Trevor staring at her with an expression that looked like he was contemplating the complexities of life.
"What's going on in that mind of yours?" She asked with a smile.
"Miss Harper?" He started.
Zach frowned at this term of address. He found himself growing upset at the 'Darkwaters and the King' situation. If not for them, Amy would probably already be his wife and she would be addressed as Mrs. Frost. Right now, he could only be patient.....
"Yes, Trevor?"
He gestured for her to bend down so she was to his level to which she obliged. His mother and Zach got curious about this; what secret were they about to share? Trevor made sure to look at Zach from behind Amy as he spewed his thoughts.

"Trevor!" Suzy immediately pulled him away from Amy when she saw Zach's brows furrow.
"You think you can take on a woman with a baby?" Amy chuckled.
"Of course!" His chest puffed up with confidence. "We can work something out."
"Stop engaging him Jen!" Suzy grumbled at her friend who was laughing from amusement.
"But she's too good for him!" He stubbornly continued.
"That's it! We'll be on our way. Jen, Mr. Frost; thank you so much for everything."
She spoke as she dragged along with her the boy by his collar. The pilot started the incredible machine when he saw the mother and son walking to the helipad. Suzy stopped in her tracks as she remembered something.
"I hope you won't forget the doctor's orders", she gave the two a meaningful look.
Zach nodded with a stoic expression on his face while Amy's face grew red from embarrassment. There was something about the forbidden fruit that just made it even more desirable. Of course, it would be right for them to adhere Suzy's advice. She just birthed a whole human being.
"No funny business", Suzy teased Amy.
"Call me when you get home!" Amy shouted as she waved, changing the subject.
"Oh, I will!" She wiggled her brows with a playful smile on her lips.
Amy gave her a hateful look before she broke into a smile. The two waved at each other once more before they continued on to the helicopter.
Amy and Zach waited for them to get in. They fastened their seatbelts and put on their headphones. As the door was being shut, Trevor sneaked in a wink at Amy earning a horrified gasp from his mother followed by a smack to his head and then she mouthing an apology to the chuckling Amy.
"Sorry", Amy said with a giggle to Zach.
"Can't hate him. He'll be a good businessman", he mused.
The helicopter flew off to West Village and the couple started to walk back in with his arm around Amy's waist.
"How did you come to that conclusion?" She glanced at him curiously.
"He has a good eye for the rarities."
It took a second for Amy to catch onto his compliment which made her giggle whilst blushing. "My gosh!"
A few hours later, dinner was served. With the exception of George's absence, it was a full house filled with laughter and Roserie's complaining of how tired she was.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter dinner, Zach and Amy retired to their room. While the man took a shower, Amy sat at the edge of their bed feeding and singing to her daughter in a hushed tone.
"Tell the world..... that we finally got it..... alright... I choooooooooose.... You....."
She rocked her and patted her little flannel covered bottom. She watched as Roserie slowly succumbed to sleep and slowly stop feeding. She fixed her top and carefully walked over to her little bed to tuck her in for the night. Yet, this was the tricky part.
The girl could easily wake up as soon as she detected the loss of her mother's warmth and touch. Amy continued to pat her, however, she got lost in thought as she stared at Roserie's sleeping face. Sadness reflected in the woman's eyes; there was more: guilt.
She let out a soft gasp when she felt a strong arm wrap around her. Zach frowned seeing how out of it she had been. He took both of her hands and hooked them around his neck before he gently scooped her up into his arms bridal style. They were both quiet as he led them to their bed where he gently laid her down then followed to lie down next to her.
"What's going on in that pretty little head of yours?" He whispered as he helped her use his arm as a cushion and hooked the other around her waist, drawing her closer. "You're not thinking about Trevor's offer, are you?"
"No", she chuckled.
Zach's brows furrowed when he now clearly saw the sadness in her eyes. He felt a constriction in his heart at this sight. "What's wrong?"
She bit her lower lip and released it to let a deep sigh with her gaze down. She looked up into his eyes and whispered back. "I'm worried.... about us."
A hot tear slid down the bridge of her nose falling onto the pillow. She fixed her gaze at his chest as she quickly wiped away her tears. Zach remained quiet to let her continue.
"I'm upset with myself. I got us into this mess. What Dad said about the King knowing about our family was like a huge reality check, more like a huge slap to my face. This is not an ideal situation to raise our daughter, not an ideal situation for you or anyone else in this family. Because of me", she sniffled as her voice broke. She cleared her throat to suppress a sob. "Because of me, everyone will have to be on their toes, constantly watching their backs in case that maniac makes a move on them."
"Let me stop you there", he hooked a finger under her chin to make her face him. He helped her wipe her tears. "Amy, if we have to point fingers as to who's to blame for this whole situation, it's the dark waters for preying on you. Remember, we don't know how much they know about us. Dad has been fighting them for years now so it's a given they'd know about his family. But about our connection? I wouldn't put my money on it."
