Amy watched Zach pace around the sun room. His brows were furrowed, he had fallen deep in thought. He moved around with his hands deep into his pockets.
Amy did not peel her eyes away from him for one second. She felt Roserie stop feeding and she fixed her blouse before helping the baby to burp. Zach stopped too and he locked his eyes on her. She knew something was brewing in that mind of his but did not know what.
"Why don't we talk to Dad?" She suggested. "And see what he says about this."
He took his phone immediately and made to dial. If a woman gives a suggestion in the form of a question, she's practically telling you to do it. Zach found himself smiling at this thought; he was always ready to do Amy's bidding.
"What?" She asked with a growing smile when she saw his.
Uurp!
"Awww, good job cupcake", Amy said softly to her daughter while rubbing her little back. "Mommy is proud of you."
Zach's smile grew at this but Henry had answered. "Dad, can you meet us in the sunroom?"
He walked over to join them. Zach leaned in to check her back and leaned back with a frown. Amy put away the beeb and to cover her up more when she noticed something.
"You threw up?" She cooed, when she noticed the white residue at the corner of Roserie's mouth. "What....-?"
Zach had engulfed them both to reach around her back. "She got some on your back."
"If it's too much I can change", she said, inhaling his enticing masculine woodys scent.
"It's a little drop unless you're uncomfortable with that, I can go get something for you to change into", he said as he wiped it off with a baby wipe.
"No, that's alright."
"Aaah", Roserie cooed softly.
"Aaah", Amy mimicked her.
Zach moved back to put away the wipe. She had also finished covering Roserie in warmth. She chuckled to herself making Zach raise his brows in amusement.
"I'm starting to grow into being comfortable with making baby noises", she confessed.
"It feels awkward", he commented.
"Yeah.... It was easier when she was inside me and I would just talk to her", she smiled at the fond memory.
"Two more kids down the line and we'll be pros at this", he assured her with a smile as he held out his hands to carry the little one.
"Oh? We're down to three?" She chuckled as she handed over the child to her father. "What are on Earth are we going to do with all this space?"
"Not after watching all the pain I put you through." He talked as he adjusted her in his arms then finally looked into the eyes of the love of his life. He lowered his voice seductively as he held her gaze. "Besides, I want to enjoy....."
He let his eyes finish his sentence as they slowly took in every inch of her silhouette from top to bottom. A smirk played on his lips whenever his eyes landed on his favorite spots before his gaze went back to her eyes.
Amy looked away from that heated gaze and fanned her hot and red face with her hands. Zach's ego swelled from this sight.
"I can come back", Henry said at the door when he witnessed Amy's blushing face and her fanning it.
"No, no", Amy shifted in her seat, trying to suppress her embarrassment. "Come on, in."
"I'm not walking into anything....?" He started and she firmly shook her reddened face. Henry sighed at this. "Two kids with your mother and I know you shouldn't try anything with her right now."
"It's hard not to", Zach said, unreserved. Amy let out a soft gasp and smacked his muscular arm making him chuckle.
"So..." Henry started. He knew they had probably called him to update him on case. Zach nodded at Amy giving her the go-ahead to explain everything.
"They finally got Gwen and Peter. Two emails were sent in as tip-offs for the case."
"Oh?" Henry's curiosity was peaked as he leaned forward, showing his interest.
"One was from Zachery. During the corporate gala, we knew that George's break in at Greco's will cause Gwen to act irrationally or at least send a message to her enemies and she did."
"She's the one who burnt those three men alive?" He didn't even act surprised.
"Yes. Zachery had his eyes on her and just as we predicted, she did. He made sure evidence against her was collected that night and moved fast enough to have the men rescued. He had them moved to Switzerland where they have been recovering from the burns and of course, we concealed their tracks. With that in, two of the men are flying back in to testify against her. The other one is worse off than the two."
Henry whistled in amazement. He knew Zach and Amy were a great team but this completely amazed him. He could probably guess that they would have used this to shake things up with Gwen. No one else knew of this matter so the hoped she would break thinking it was the King throwing her under the bus. It was a gamble they were willing to make.....
"And the other email?" He asked.
"Have a look", she made to get up to give him her phone but he walked over to get it.
The older man sat down and quietly went through the contents. Just like Zach, his expression was neutral as he saw the shocking contents. A few minutes later and he was done. There was a hint of shock on his face as he raised his brows at her.
"This.... wasn't you?" He cocked his head to the side, guessing the answer. Amy shook her head and instantly his expression grew icy cold. He was evidently pissed off and he scoffed he thought hard of the situation. "He's doing you more good than harm."
