Not your typical baby mama

The older woman did not waste a second and rushed to find Amy. She dashed out of her room in haste and made for Amy's bedroom.

Early on, Amy had retired to her bedroom to get some work done since the two older women wanted to spend some time with Roserie so Stella knew where to find her. When she reached her door, she raised her shaking hand to give it a knock.

"Dear?" She called out.

"Coming", Amy replied instantly.

As she heard the soft sound of her footsteps, she could not help but wipe her sweaty palms against her dress. A minute later, Amy opened the door to greet the woman with a smile.

"Is everything okay?" She immediately took in her worried expression and quickly gave her a once over. She seemed fine and her heart spiked in that moment thinking it's her daughter. "Where's Roserie? Is she okay?"

"Calm down, dear", Stella pulled back Amy who was ready to go downstairs. "She's fine. She's with Victoria."

Amy visibly calmed down with a sigh of relief. But she resumed being worried when Stella's expression didn't change. "What's going on?" She asked softly.

"Dear", Stella spoke quietly but still unable to suppress her worry as she held onto Amy's hands. "There's something I need to ask you." Amy nodded as a go ahead and Stella took a deep breath to calm her nerves. "Did you have something to do with Greco's downfall?"

"Uh... I may have had a hand. Why?" She looked at her curiously and also surprised by the topic.

"Oh dear!" Stella felt like crying in that moment as her frown deepened. "They're coming for you."

"Who is?" Amy's demeanor was calm and collected but her heart rate had spiked with Stella's warning.

"I can't be specific because I'm not too sure but all I know is your actions have upset a lot of people. I'm not saying bringing the truth to light was wrong but things are really bad in that... world", she closed her eyes and tried to steady. She opened them to display her worry and whispered, "Some people are out to get their revenge on you. My goodness! How did they even know it was you? Or was it your plan to do that?"

Amy felt bad seeing Stella's hopeful gaze as she shook her head no. Stella's expression worsened with that.

"Then how did they find out? Maybe someone else is after you? Nevermind that, is there some sort of plan? What can I do to help? I can't let anything happen to you."

Amy could not help her smile as she wiped Stella's tears and the love in her eyes. The latter was buffled by how calm the girl was in that moment. She could not tell what Amy was thinking or feeling. Amy gave the older woman's hand a gentle squeeze.

"Thank you for telling me this", she said with a warm smile and tucked away some stray locks of Stella's hair. "Don't worry too much."

"But dear..." Stella almost whined. Her worry doubled in that moment.

Amy chuckled and pulled her into a hug. "Don't make me worry about you, alright?"

"I have some connections. It's been a while since I was in the game but I promise you, I can get you anything you need. Just say the word", Stella promised.

"I can't let you do that. You left that side of the world for a reason and it would be wrong of me to throw you back into the mix", Amy shook her head.

"But dear-"

"I understand that you love me but what daughter would do that to her mother?" Amy asked softly. Both women's eyes instantly sparkled with fresh tears embracing this special moment.

Amy hugged her once more untill they both calmed down before she sent the older woman away. Her lips were pressed in a straight line as she had immediately fallen into thought the moment she got back in her room.

She picked up her laptop and finished her task of upgrading a client's system then left the device to continue with the job while she lay in bed pondering on the current situation. Things had gotten so bad. Putting her name behind Greco's downfall had eventually done her more damage than good.

Zach walked into the room whilst on a work call. He too had been remotely handling work matters from home, refusing to leave his fiancé and new baby alone. He wanted to be especially helpful to Amy during this time when she had just given birth.

"Alright", he ended the call when he noticed her absentmindedness. She had not acknowledged his presence. Was something wrong?

Amy only realized Zach was in the room when he was inches away from the bed. She automatically smiled as he joined her. "Hey."

He put her laptop away and lay half on the bed and half on top of her. She locked her hands behind his neck making him smile.

"What's on your mind?" He gently asked.

"Mm.....", She started playing with his hair as she explained everything Stella told her.

Despite the amazing distraction that was her fingers in his hair, he still fought to pay attention as the matter at hand was important. And just like she, his expression was calm when he learned of the situation.

"I see", he said in thought then broke into a smile as he looked into her eyes. "You've managed to piss off the underworld?"

"So much baggage. Do you still love me?" She chuckled.

"I can't help myself", he admitted with a helpless smile. Amy pouted her lips and pecked his a few times but he was quick to take control, briefly pressing his against hers before letting go.

She softly brushed her nose against his as she whispered, "What do we do?"

"We give them what they want", he whispered back, pecking her lips again. He pulled back to give her a meaningful look. "You know what this means, don't you?"

She exhaled a deep breath when she felt her nerves needed to be calmed down and gave a firm nod. She knew exactly what he meant.

"Mm."
