Not your typical baby mama

There were a lot of footsteps heard and it sounded like their security was barely restraining whoever it was. Bam! The door swung open and in rushed Lorraine. The bodyguards gave apologetic looks to their superiors before closing the door.

Her sole focus was on Xavier. He was all she could see. She had lost all reasoning when she heard he got hurt. And seeing him look ghastly pale in bed...

Xavier's heart was beating at the speed of light. She was finally here standing a foot away from his bed. He was seeing her after what felt like forever. But he had ghosted her and now.... How will she react?

"Oh my God", she whispered before breaking into a sob. She shielded her crying face with her hands.

Zach watched with his brows knitted while Amy had her jaw dropped. She could not believe her eyes. Xavier, on the other hand, did not know what to do. Can he hug her? Would that be too much? Can he hold her hand? Would she let him? If he just sits there, won't he look like a dooche?

"How could you do this to me?" She looked at him while sobbing and punched his shoulder.

"Lorraine-"

"You made me feel things then disappeared on me and then you get stabbed because of me! Why are you confusing me?" she punched his shoulder once more.

"Lorraine", he caught her fist when she was about to hit him again.

She leaned into him and sobbed against his shoulder. He took that as a cue to hug and comfort her. The girl took her time until she had bawled her frustrations out on him. When she pulled away, all she could see was worry in his eyes.

"I'm sorry", he whispered.

Zach chose to put down the tablet on the coffee table in that moment making a soft noise that caught both their attention.

"Oh my gosh!" Lorraine almost jumped out of her shoes taking in her audience.

Xavier glared at his brother who was the least bothered. "Lorraine, that's my brother, Zach and my sister-in-law, Amy."

"Hi", she greeted awkwardly. How did she not see the two of them earlier? And Zach Frost has a wife? She looked at both their hands and saw an engagement ring on Amy's finger.

'Savannah will surely get brain damage from this', she mused.

"Officer May, I never thought I would see this side of you", Amy said with an amused smile.

"You know me?"

"Uh.....", Amy chuckled nervously when she realized her slip up and received a glare from Xavier. "Xavier has told me so much about you."

"Oh. All good things, I hope?"

"All good things", Amy smiled. Lorraine smiled back, oddily feeling at ease with Amy. She could not shake off the feeling of familiarity although she had just met her.

"You guys were just about to leave, weren't you?" Xavier forced a smile, hinting with his eyes that he needed some alone time with Lorraine.

"So soon?"

"Yes, we're new parents. We can't leave our cupcake alone for too long", Amy said whilst getting up taking Zach's hand. She walked over and extended a hand to Lorraine. "But it's nice to finally meet you. I hope to see you soon."

"Likewise", she smiled, shaking her hand.

Zach's handshake came and went as fast as a lightning. The two said their goodbyes and left them alone. Lorraine was left in a shocked state.

Not only did Zach have a beautiful fiancé but he also had a child with her..... Nobody knew about this so despite Amy telling her, it means she had to keep it a secret as well.....

"Lorraine", he gently called out, earning her attention. "We need to talk."

'Shit! Why did I say all those things earlier?' she scolded herself, wishing she could hide under a rock. But she remembered him getting hurt, she needed some answers of her own. So she sat on the chair close to his bed.

'I don't even know what I look like right now', she mused in irritation and tucked some loose strands behinds her ears, hoping to look presentable before looking up at him. Xavier was awestruck with how beautiful she looked especially with her green orbs staring at him like that.

"What happened.... tonight?" She broke the silence.

"I was.. I came to see you but walked in on them", he chuckled softly.

"You should've walked away. They're dangerous people and now you've fallen on their radar too", she frowned.

She knew how much those people could practically become a leech, sucking the life out of you. As exhausting as it was, she still put up with them because of Oliver and not just that woman.

"Don't worry, they won't be coming around anymore."

"Did you pay off the debt?? Xavier-"

"Lorraine, calm down. I didn't do that knowing you wouldn't exactly approve of that and besides, I didn't have to. Someone did that already."

"Okay", she nodded, calming down from her panic. "Wait, who paid them off?"

"The one who rightfully owes them", he said. Her jaw dropped, she knew who he was talking about. "And I was going to wait for you to tell me everything on your own but after tonight, I could not help but do some digging. It seems she paid them off not too long ago. I don't understand why they came back but my guess is they just wanted to exploit you since you were probably in the dark about the payment."

Those phone calls she had been rejecting, was that what she was trying to tell her? So, the beating from last time, harassing her and leaving them to live in fear, for apparently failing to make a payment and now Xavier getting stabbed too...

"Where are they?" Her expression had turned deadly in an instant. All she could think about was getting even with them. She needed to give them a taste of their own medicine.

"In police custody. Where are you going?" He was alarmed by her standing up.

"I just remembered that I have something to take care of." She pulled up her hair and tied it in a high pony tail.

"We're not done talking."

"Don't worry, I'll come back to hear all your reasons for ghosting me and besides, I need to take care of you", she gave him a small smile which wasn't exactly a smile and it sent chills down his spine.

'I should have gone home with Zach', he mused as he watched her leave.
