The next day had arrived. Amy and Zach were still sleeping. Their soft snores echoed in the room. The thick curtains slowly drew open on their own letting the sun light fully illuminate the room. Amy's brows knitted together before she opened her eyes. She came face to face with Zach's bare chest. His breathing was even, it seemed he was still asleep. She made to carefully untangle herself from his hold as she got when he tightened his hold keeping her in his arms.
"Where are you going?" His voice came out groggy yet it was such a sexy sound to hear first thing in the morning.
She lifted her head to look at him with her lips pursed trying to suppress her giddiness. His eyes remained closed and his hair was a beautiful mess. Getting no response, he opened one eye to find her staring at him. She quickly buried her face in his chest.
"Oh! My God!"
"What?" He chuckled, very much amused by her behavior. He had both eyes opened.
She pushed herself up so her mouth was close to his ear. He could not see her blushing face but could her warm breath fan his skin. She hummed in thought before she whispered to him.
"I have a crush on you."
Zach chuckled. That was something he did not expect. He was not sure how to react to that but he felt his cheeks burn red and a silly smile played on his lips.
"A crush?" He repeated.
"Mm."
He chuckled again. Seeing that she was not getting a response from the man she knew to be straightforward, she looked up to find him blushing. She gasped in pure surprise and amusement.
"Did I just make you blush?" She giggled.
"Weren't you going somewhere just now?" He tried to send her away though securing his hold on her waist.
"No. Not anymore. I'm going to stay here and make you blush", she said with a smug smile.
"Men don't blush", he argued.
"Uh-huh!" Her eyes sparkled with amusement as she watched him with a beautiful smile. He was completely taken by her beauty and his ears turned red from her gaze.
"Oh! My God!" She giggled.
"You know the roles could easily reverse", he stated.
"Yes, just let me have my moment", she said excitedly.
He could only relent and let her have her way. She could tease him all she wants as long as it makes her happy. About two hours later, they were dressed, had their breakfast, and were ready for the appointment. Henry had gone out for his personal business, probably at the F.B.I HQ. The two were seated in the living room on one sofa with her feet plopped up on his lap. He gently caressed her smooth legs while they shared a conversation.
Edmund walked in wearing a black English suit topped with a white. He always looked neat and looked after himself even when he was in his fifties. He was about to speak when a voice spoke from behind him.
"Did someone call for a doctor?"
"Suzy!" Amy gasped in surprise. She removed her feet from his lap and went to hug her friend. Edmund silently took his leave when Zach signaled him to.
"You had me worried! How could you leave without saying anything?" She scolded before they pulled apart. Amy opened her mouth to speak but no words came out. Suzy smiled and rubbed the girls arms. "It's okay. You don't have to say anything. And don't worry, I'm bound by oath to keep my patient's information confidential."
Amy gave her a grateful smile. "Thank you."
"You're welcome, Jen."
"So, which hospital are we going to?" She asked. She figured they had arranged to use a hospital in the city for her checkup and it would all be a secret with Zach's help.
Suzy chuckled as she looked at Zach, "I see you didn't tell her."
"Tell me what?"
A smile played on Suzy's lips as her eyes shone with mischief. "You, my dear, have a crazy man."
What did Suzy mean by that? She looked at Zach who only smiled. Soon enough, she learned why Suzy said so. Her jaw dropped open. Zach had turned one of the rooms into a hospital. The scanner was there, defibrillator, the ECG, a King sized bed, and some equipment that Amy could not name. Since she couldn't risk going to the hospital especially now that they're in the city, he brought the hospital to her.
"I..... Wow.... I- I don't know what to say", she felt her eyes sting with tears. How could he go to such lengths for her?
Zach pulled her into his embrace and gently patted her head when he heard her soft sobs. Even Suzy was touched, it would be considered crazy but for him to go to such lengths, it only goes to show how much he cares for Amy. After Zach calmed her down, he was asked to leave before she started her check up.
"So how have you been?" Suzy asked.
"Um.....", Amy felt some type of way especially when her friend struck a conversation whilst examining her down there.
Suzy chuckled, "Awkward?"
"Mm-hm."
"Okay. Give me a minute", she said.
Amy tried not to think about what Suzy was doing. These were moments she was glad she fell in love with computers and not medicine. The minute felt like an eternity as she tried to occupy her mind with other things.
"Done. I'll call him back in so we can see how the baby is doing", she said as she removed her medical gloves.
Amy breathed out a sigh of relief. Suzy helped her sit up for her to fix her underwear before going out to call Zach. He helped cover her legs with a sheet while Amy pulled up her dress to expose her stomach. It was growing bigger and bigger. She flinched when she felt the familiar cold gel before Suzy started scanning.
"Mm....", she hummed as she looked at the monitor.
Amy could only hope that hum was good. The couple watched their baby with an adoring gaze. While she wiped her belly, Suzy took down notes. Zach helped her sit up on the bed and waited for Suzy to be done.
"Okay", Suzy put down the file and faced them. "Everything looks good. The baby is very healthy, your cervix looks good. Mm... As of now, you should be able to feel the baby's movement, some fluttering, some kicking.."
"Really?" Amy gasped out in excitement. That was such great news! Zach had a big smile on his face. Even he could not wait to feel it. He caressed her stomach and she gave him a warm smile.
"Yeah, and I brought more folic acid. I figured you'd soon run out", she explained.
"Thanks Suzy", Amy said with a smile.
"Thank you Dr. Glynne", Zach said genuinely.
She waved a hand of dismissal at them. A thought came to Amy's mind in that moment.
"By the way, how soon can I resume doing pilates? I feel stuffy from just sitting around."
"Today, tomorrow; anytime you want to. Just make sure you don't strain yourself" , she reminded.
"Yes, thank you!" Amy breathed out a sigh of relief.
Zach's interest was piqued as he looked at the excited Amy. He didn't know she did pilates. Interesting. As the check-up was done, he excused himself so the ladies could catch up.
"Just so we're clear, she can now do 'certain' activities, right?" He asked as he got up. Amy gasped and felt her face heat up from embarrassment.
"Yes, Mr. Frost", Suzy said after a chuckle.
He gave a satisfied nod, pecked Amy's lips and left them to chat. Once he left, Suzy broke out in laughter as she looked at the embarrassed Amy.
"He has no filter", Suzy said in amusement earning a sigh from Amy. "You're in trouble!"
