The expression on Amy''s face was peaceful as shey in bed. She had been moved from the hospital bed, where she had given birth, to a normal king sized bed. She opened her eyes and blinked a few times as she tried to find her bearings. The sound of the bathroom door opening caught her attention. It was a dejavu moment for her. There was Zach.


    The moment they made eye contact, he tookrge strides towards her and she sat up too. He sat down and pulled her into an embrace. She didn''t need to ask to know yesterday was too much for him. She breathed in his scent and rxed in his- scent? ''oh my god!'' she shrieked internally in horror


    "Babe...", She tried pushing him away but he just held her tighter. "Let go first."


    "No."


    "But I..."


    "Amy, you just enjured close to twelve hours ofbour, gave birth to a beautiful baby, our daughter; do you really think I would care about whether you showered or not?"


    That shut her up and she let him hold her. But his sentence reminded her of something important. "Where is she? Is she okay?"


    Zach broke the embrace and looked at her lovingly. "She''s fine. The pediatrician was looking after her while you were asleep."


    She slowly nodded and voiced out something she had not thought of. "What about registration? Her birth certificate?"


    "I took care of it", he assured her. Amy visibly rxed but Zach could tell there was want and need in her eyes. This time around, it was for their daughter. She wanted to see their princess. He took his phone and dialed a number.


    "She''s awake", he said before he hang up.


    They didn''t wait long until Suzy came back in with Ste and Victoria and thetter holding the baby. Amy''s eyes turned misty when she the bundled up little one. She spread out her arms and Victoria carefully ced the baby in her hold. Probably smelling her mom''s familiar scent, Roserie started crying again.


    "Aww!" Ste cooed.


    "You should feed her", Victoria whispered.


    Although they had seen more of her while she was giving birth, she still felt embarrassed to breastfeed whilst in their presence.


    "Did you pack a scarf somewhere?" Ste asked while looking around for her bags.


    "Yes. In the brown bag", she answered while rocking the baby. "Sshhh it''s okay. It''s okay. Sshhh...."


    Zach was still mesmerized by the beautiful baby they had. A beautiful baby girl. She had been dressed in a cute little matching outfit from the beanie, and sweater..... Amy couldn''t see the rest because of the nkets wrapped around her. She could easily guess the outfit was Ste''s idea. The woman loved colorful clothes.


    "Besides that", Suzy started as she went to Amy''s side. "You can adjust this and feed her, at the same time not expose much of you."


    She adjusted the hospital gown for her and true to her words, Amy started to breastfeed the child who immediately quieted down. Suzy helped to adjust Roserie''s position at the same showing Amy how to properly carry the child whole feeding her.


    "Here", Ste helped to cover them with the scarf. "And when she''s done, hold her like this to burp her."


    "The bib", Victoria reminded.


    "Oh yes! In case she throws up while you''re burping her, put this on her and use a nnel to cover your shoulder."


    "Alright. Thank you", Amy smiled.


    Ste looked at her and her eyes turned misty. She patted Amy''s cheek like always. "I''m so proud of you dear. Both of you."


    "You can''t start crying again", Victoria grumbled as she wiped her own tears. She stood up and walked over. "What would you like to eat dear?"


    "I could eat anything right now", Amy said with a chuckle. She had gone intobor in the evening of the day before, and now it was already afternoon of the next day. She was famished.


    "We''ll make everything for you", Ste said as she left with Victoria.


    "We''ll need to wrap your stomach in a slimming belt", Suzy started.


    "I need to bath first though."


    Suzy nodded and briefly went to the bathroom beforeing back out. Seeing how the couple was so focused on watching their feeding child, she also decided to give them some privacy. Amy removed the scarf as it was now just the three of them.


    Zach tucked stray strands of Amy''s hair behind her ear. Roserie opened her eyes briefly and closed them again while making suckling sounds.


    "She has Xavier''s eyes", Zachmented as he caressed Roserie''s little face.


    "But she''s your photocopy", Amy said in amusement and then frowned.


    "How can you tell? She just looks like a baby to me", Zach couldn''t see it.


    "She has your hair, look at these eyebrows, this nose, these lips, they are definitely not mine", Amyined and then she gasped. "How could she have perfect eyshes when she''s so tiny?"


    "Are you..... jealous of your own daughter?"


    "That''s not the issue right now! Is there anything of me that she inherited?" She looked at him with a pout.


    Zach directed his gaze to his daughter who had her eyes close. He tucked in the nkets around her tiny face to make her morefortable. "Don''t listen to your mommy. You''re perfect just the way you are-"


    "You''re happy that your wish came true", Amy red at him.


    Zach chuckled as he continued to talk to Roserie. "And mommy''s perfect too. Let''s give her time to ept that. Alright?"


    Roserie opened her eyes and cutely blinked at them. Amy''s grumbling stopped and they both looked at their daughter with loving gazes. She made a noise whilst still suckling and looking at her parents.


    Amy chuckled, "You were so hungry, weren''t you? Mommy is sorry cupcake."


    "You wereining about her not taking after you. She definitely has your appetite."


    "You''re lucky my hands are full", she warned him.


    "I know", he said with a smirk.


    Amy and Zach watched as Roserie ate. She closed her eyes for a while and briefly opened them only to close them again. After what seemed like forever, she let go of her mother''s nipple.


    "I''ll burp her, go ahead and shower." He knew how ufortable she was.


    Amy helped him cover his shoulder and put the bib on Roserie. She left him walking around the room while burping her as she went on to bath. She was surprised seeing everything had been set up for her. It must have been Suzy. She didn''t take too long when she heard the sound of Roserie crying. When she stepped out, Zach was seated on the bed while rocking her and cooing her. The girl was slowly quieting down as Zach calmed her down.


    "It''s okay. It''s okay. Daddy is here. It''s okay", he said gently.


    Amy could not help but smile when she saw this beautiful scene. The man had assumed the fatherly role quite perfectly. She quitely walked towards the door. A maid was just outside.


    "Tell Dr. Glynne I''m ready."


    "Yes ma''am."


    She came in with another nurse. Zach stood to the side, rocking Roserie to sleep as he watched the women. Amy was made to lie on the bed and the nurse put the belt on her under Suzy''s supervision.


    "That''s tight", Amy groaned as she sat up and fixed her dress when she was done.


    "It will be ufortable now but as time goes, it won''t be. And if you can''t do it yourself, ask your husband to help you", the nurse advised.


    "Change this", Suzy tapped the IV bag and the nurse got to work.


    A knock was heard and Amy permitted the person in as she was getting under the covers. The person she had been looking for finally showed himself along with George.


    "Congrattions!" Xavier shouted and George pped his hands-


    "Sshhh!" Zach gave them a fierce re before his expression turned gentle as he looked down at his daughter.


    Amy chuckled when she saw this and spoke quietly. "How are you guys? It feels like I haven''t seen you in forever."


    George and Xavier went to stand beside the bed. George nodded. "I''m good."


    "Me too."


    Amy gave a knowing smile at Xavier. There was a question she wanted to ask but opted to keep quiet.


    "Is there something I''m missing?" George asked curiously.


    "There''s a new development in our case and it''s thanks to him", she nodded at him.


    George gave him a curious look while Xavier only smiled. He would not deny or admit anything. But when he thought back to the reason he arrivedte after receiving news of Amy, he could not help but smile to himself.
