Not your typical baby mama

"It won't bake any faster if you'll keep checking it like that", Stella sighed with a shake of her head.

Amy sighed as she closed the oven doors and went back to her seat around the counter. "It smells so goooooood!"

"This coming from someone who didn't like walnut pie before?" Stella chuckled in amusement.

Amy gasped as her eyes grew wide in shock. "How did you know?"

"Your face made it quite obvious when I gave you the pie and that night you to ask for more, that's how I knew there was a little one inside you", Stella chuckled at the fond memory.

"I still can't believe I did that! The urge to have it was so strong and before I knew it, I was at your door unable to leave", she shook her head in disbelief.

"Pregnancy does that to you." Stella recovered from her laugh and was about to bring up a thought she was curious about when Amy's phone rung.

"Excuse me", she said before answering the call. She had a smile on as she spoke, "And here I thought you forgot about me.*"

"I'm sorryyyy, I've been quite busy on my end. How are you? How was the baby shower?" Suzy apologized.

"So you knew about it...? Where's my gift?"

"On its way, with me and Trevor."

"Oh! The little prince is coming over?" Amy was surprised and happy about this. She wondered if the young man would give up if he sees her with Zach.

"Mm.... that's what I wanted to talk about. I'm wrapping up a few things on my end so I can stay with you for as long as I can but I can't leave Trevor here alone."

"Of course." Amy understood this well.

"So, is it possible to accommodate us both? I didn't want to just show up without letting you know."

"I understand. Let me talk to Zach first."

"Of course. You'll let me know, yeah?"

"Mm. Give me five minutes."

Amy ended the call and pressed the number one. She had put him on speed dial. Right on the first ring, the man's deep and attractive voice resounded in her ear.

"Baby", Zach acknowledged. Amy heard a flip of paper followed by the sound of typing and guessed he was busy so she decided to keep it short.

"I received a call from Suzy. She was wondering if we can accommodate both herself and her son."

"How do you feel about that?"

"I'm okay with it but I wanted to hear your thoughts."

Zach chuckled, not out of amusement but he was pleased with her. "Let's do that then."

"Okay. Babe we're making walnut pie", she said with a little excitement as she glanced at the oven.

"Keep some for me."

"Of course. I'll let you go now. I love you."

"I love you too. Bye."

Amy had a smile when the call came to an end and she typed on her phone a message to Suzy. Stella waited till the girl finished and gave a warm smile.

"There are not many men like Zach on this Earth. I'm still amazed by all the kindness the man has and it all revolves around you. He really loves you."

"I'm a lucky girl", she smiled and blushed as she said this.

"You're both great people", Stella commented. Despite having more than others, the girl was not snobby but rather giving and protective of those important to her. Zach was the same. With this in mind, she had a question whose answer she was curious about.

"Did you talk to Zach about what I told you yesterday? How do you.... feel about it?"

Although she was relieved that Amy looked fine, she still wanted to know her thoughts on the issue. Maybe, just maybe, they shared the same thought.

Amy rested her arms on the counter and rested her chin in one hand. "There are some things that test my confidence and courage, this is one of them."

"You also think that child could be you?" Stella asked fearfully but with a going of hope shining in her eyes.

"Yes..... and no. This could either mean I'm related to the Dark Waters or my beginning will remain a mystery." A cold glint flashed in her eyes when she said their name. She had grown to detest these people not just because of what she was put through, but because of their cruelty.

"You- you sound like you know them? Don't tell me-"

"Yes", Amy confirmed. "They're who we're dealing with. The King is working with a woman named Gwen here in the U.S."

"The King? There's another King?" Stella was shocked at this.

"Yes. But I don't know how the two are related."

Amy and Henry were still trying to figure this out. There was so much mystery surrounding the King's true identity although she had a clue. No, she knew who it was.

"Oh! There's a relationship alright", Stella shook her head at this. She still could not believe that another 'King' had arisen among the dark waters. 'This was inevitable', she mused.

"What do you mean?" Amy asked with urgency.

"The King..... He had a child five or six years old at that time. Or I could be wrong. I had heard about him taking his own flesh and blood wherever he went and saw it with my own eyes when they were making a deal with our side. Now I know that he was actually grooming that child", Stella shook her head. She was disgusted by the old man who was the Dark Waters' former ruler.

How could an innocent child be subjected to such a vile world? Even though Stella was a former night wolves organization member, never in a million years did she ever want Alex or Nora to experience that. It is why she and Richard had kept her old life a secret.

"The former King is the current King's father....", Amy said in realization as her expression darkened as the picture of the King was vividly painted in her mins. How cunning..... Talk about a perfectionist in hiding in plain sight.
