Not your typical baby mama - Chapter 266 Being The Bigger Person

Present time…

“The corpses of the girls who died during the failed experiments were in the truck that was blown up. I think it was a tactic to get rid of any physical evidence of the illegal trials”, Amy said with a grave tone. “If not for Dad, Savannah and the other survivors would also…..”

“Whoa”, Xavier managed to say.

Both felt sick to the stomach just thinking of how twisted the King was. The girls had been through so much and had lost their lives from it, yet he had to burn them up still. Their families and loved ones had been robbed off the opportunity to see them for the last time, say their goodbyes….

Lorraine’s and Savannah’s pitiful cries reached his ears. He could not begin to imagine the horror the latter went through. What if Lorraine had also tagged along? That means she would…

He closed his eyes and let out a shaky breath to brush off the horrid thoughts that only brought heartache to him. Then something else came to mind and he snapped his eyes open….

“Dad, is he alright?” He asked with urgency. From what she had told him, it sounded like a pretty dangerous mission.

“Um….. About that….”

The hesitation in her tone only meant one thing yet a million things raced in his mind. And the worst case scenario cemented in his mind and his anxiety shot to the roof. He was not ready to lose him….. ‘i can’t lose him…..’

“What happened? Did something happen to him? Tell me he’s alright!!”

“Yes, something did happen but-”

Amy’s mouth dropped open as she stared at the now terminated call. If he could just listen to the rest of her what she had to say…

“Everything alright?” Zach asked.

She turned around from the window she was standing and took in her man, seated on the bed, knees up and little Roserie comfortable on his lap making soft baby noise. She walked over to join him.

“Yeah, that was Xavier. I think he’s coming home”, she said as she climbed onto the the bed and moved with her knees to reach his side.

“Hm….”

She kissed the little one’s forehead and gently caressed it with her thumb before wrapping her arm around Zach’s neck to pull him in for a peck. He smiled when she released him and caressed his cheek with her soft hand.

“Are you alright?” She asked while searching his eyes.

The mission took a toll on them especially with Henry being in the front line and now that he was….. Zach could not help but feel grateful for Amy. Wouldn’t anyone overlook that and think he’s good just because he’s stoic most of the time?

Looking at her, he found himself comfortable enough to be vulnerable. Although this wasn’t the first time asking him this since yesterday, he still gave an honest answer.

“I think I’m getting over it. It gave me such a big scare. I’m glad you were here with me Amy. Thank you”, he whispered the last part as he leaned in to rest his forehead against hers.

Amy found herself smiling as she whispered back. “You’re welcome.”

The both turned to Roserie when she cooed in what sounded like a complaint. They adoringly looked at their daughter’s tiny face, the two could not get over the beautiful little life they had created.

“She behaves whenever she’s with you”, Amy’s jealous reared its ugly head.

More than half of the time she carried the child, she was either feeding, napping or crying but with Zach, it was a whole different case.

“I think she’s picking favorites”, Zach smirked, obviously pleased.

“Wait until we have a son.” Amy was feeling smug until she saw the glare the man threw her and started laughing at him. “What?”

“I’m not okay with you entertaining thoughts of other men.”

“Other men? I literally said a son, our son?” She chuckled and shook her head in disbelief.

Knock! Knock!

“Yes!” Zach answered.

“Sir, Mr. Hutchinson is here and Madam, Miss Susan requested for your presence. She’s in the sunroom.”

“Alright, thank you Edmund!” Amy responded as she moved to get out of bed.

“You’re just leaving?”

She stopped to raise her brows in question at the man. Was she missing something?

“We’ve clearly upset each other; well one more than the other and you’re just going to leave? Don’t you think we should reconcile?” Zach fought to keep a straight face when he saw Amy throwing him a skeptical look. He knew he was stretching it but still, “With a kiss?”

She narrowed her eyes at him. She could see right through his shamelesness. Yet, he did not stop there. He willed a self-righteous look and continued, “I’m not just doing this for selfish gains but it’s a way to teach our daughter that it’s okay to initiate a reconciliation even when you’re the wronged party; to be the bigger person.”

‘Wow! This man….’ she mused.

If she refused, she would be painting herself as the ‘bad guy’ that her man was now accusing her to be. Therefore, she had no choice but to go back to his side and ‘reconcile’.

Some good minutes later, the two were now downstairs. The man pecked her now swollen lips once more, inciting a beautiful blush to her rosy cheeks before he went on to meet his guest with baby Roserie sleeping in his arms.

Mr. Hutchinson was looking around the living room with his hands clasped behind his broad back. He adorned himself in jeans and matching t-shirt with sunglasses resting atop his head. He turned around when he felt a presence and a huge smile stretched across his lips.

p “Boss!” He greeted as he walked over to Zach.

Zach was the least bit amused and extended a free hand out to him. “Last I checked, the mission was over yesterday.”

“You don’t know that”, he responded while fishing something from his trouser pocket.

“Rider…” Zach warned.

“Fine!” He begrudgingly handed over the car keys. “Maybe I had a little bit of fun with it… Oh! Oh! I didnt come here with right away so it doesn’t lead back to you. I was protecting you, for old time’s sake.”

“Mm-hm”, Zach gestured for him to take a seat as did he. “How are the other others?”

“They’ll live. Their injuries are not as serious. It was boss who…..”, He sighed and his brows knitted into a frown. “How is he?”

Zach pursed his lips and gave a slight nod before he carefully adjusted Roserie in his arms. He dared not to do anything that would wake her up and then she starts crying. He tried to make sure that Amy would get as many breaks as possible. He just loved doing this for her and spending time with his daughter. His and Amy’s daughter….. This reality brought butterflies in his stomach!

“You know, someone would think you’re actually the dad”, Rider chuckled after observing the warmth and adoration in Zach’s mannerism towards the little one. “Where’s her dad?”

“You’re looking at him”, he deadpanned though his gaze remained adoringly fixed on Roserie.

Rider gasped and dramatically dropped his jaw from the shock. He stopped himself from laughing out loud because Roserie was sleeping and the deadly glare Zach shot him.

“You’re actually serious?” His eyes were the size of saucers in shock. “You mean the kid is not Xavier’s?”

“This is a baby I had with my fiancé”, Zach unhurriedly explained.

“You have a fiancé? A woman?”
