"Conducting a polypectomy on pregnant women is highly discouraged because it means a possible miscarriage in most cases but", Suzy clicked her computer mouse before turning the monitor towards the couple in her office.

She took a pen to use to point at the image displayed as she spoke. "Your case was different, the polyps grew over here and had burst resulting in the bleeding, all I needed to do was finish the job. Now looking at your results", she clicked the mouse once more and a new image came up. "The baby is doing well and your cervix is healing just fine. As long as you stay away from intercourse, you should be fine in a week and a few days but not later than two weeks."

Amy breathed out a sigh of relief. Zach, who was holding her hand, squeezed it and she gave him a smile. He, too, had been nervous. He had been made to wait outside while Suzy examined Amy. With this thought, Amy thought of something.

"Um, can we have a scan of the baby?" She asked.

"All of a sudden?" Suzy\'s brows rose.

"If you\'re not busy", Amy added.

"No, no. I\'m not. Go ahead and lie over there", she pointed to the bed.

Suzy didn\'t think much of it and watched as Zach helped her onto the bed. He covered a sheet on the lower half of her body and lifted up her dress to expose her tummy. It was round and smooth and had grown significantly as she approached her five month mark.

"Ready?" Suzy walked over as she took the gel.

The two nodded in unison. Zach\'s heart was thudding wildly in anticipation. He was about to see his baby. He took a deep breath and took Amy\'s hand in his before kissing the back of it. The action excited the butterflies in Amy\'s stomach before she was interrupted by the smear of the cold gel on her stomach. The scanning began.

The image of the baby showed up on the screen. It randomly moved about it\'s little hands and feet. The image was accompanied by the sound of it\'s heartbeat. Suzy was happy with what she was seeing. She figured they wanted to see for themselves if there were any abnormalities but there clearly weren\'t.

She excitedly turned to speak only to see Zach resting his forehead against Amy\'s hand that was in his. It was now she understood why Amy asked for a scan. It was for him. She now realized that he had never been to the scans. She thought he was just one of those men who were never interested in that. But it seemed something kept him away from that. What was the story between the two?

Zach understood Amy\'s intentions the moment she made her request. His heart warmed up at her consideration. A whirlpool of emotions surged within him at the image of his, no, their baby. Their baby. He looked up at her and brought his face closer to hers to capture her lips. She could feel the strong emotions behind that kiss.

Suzy knew to give them privacy as she left the room to them. She would just grab a coffee or something.

This kiss, was not lust or full of want like the other ones they shared. It was simply Zach expressing his joy and his gratefulness. No woman, no, no one had made him this happy in a long time. But, it also felt like he was expressing his..... love. He broke the kiss so they could catch their breaths.

"I must be the luckiest man on Earth. Having met you has brought me everything I wanted and more. I really must be lucky", he whispered against her lips.

She massaged his scalp as she caught her breath. But she didn\'t know if she deserved those words especially when she thinks back on her initial reaction to her pregnancy news. She was disappointed in herself and could only imagine how disappointed he would be too.

A knock was heard before Suzy came back in. "Sorry, I\'d let you guys have your moment, but I need the office. My ten o\'clock is here."

"No, we should be the ones to apologise. But thanks Suzy", Amy gave a small grateful smile.

"Yes, thank you Dr. Glynne", Zach was polite.

"No, no", she waved her hands in dismissal as she smiled. "And since everything is set, you will be discharged during lunch hour."

Discharged. Amy felt an unpleasant twist in her stomach. They had talked about not staying away from each other so what would happen now? Would he go back to his home in the city? Does that mean they have to plan dates he could visit so he doesn\'t miss out on the baby? Should Greco monitor his movements, won\'t it get him in trouble once they discover his connection to her?

Amy\'s brows were furrowed as she was so lost in thought that she didn\'t even realize Zach had stop pushing the wheel chair. She gasped when she suddenly was lifted into the air.

She reflexively wrapped her arms around his neck and looked around to see one of his bodyguards take away the chair. She looked at the man wide eyed wondering why he was carrying her bridal style.

"What are you doing?" She whispered in his face.

"You were too far away from me", he whispered back.

Amy\'s mouth fell open. There was no hint of amusement in his tone and expression. The people who passed by them swooned when they heard saw what he did and how they were whispering to each other. It was such a beautiful sight.

"Who knew you could see such a romantic sight in a hospital?"

"They look good together. Do you think they\'re married?"

"My gosh! How are two beautiful people together! It\'s unfair for the rest of us!"

Some thought they were celebrities since West Village was hardly short of celebrities. They confirmed their suspicions after they saw the scary bodyguards who prevented them from secretly taking pictures.

Amy felt her face heat up from the ongoing conversations of the observers that she buried her face in the crook of his neck. Zach was deaf and blind to it all and only focused on his wife. He thought she would complain or scold him but she was blushing instead. He was pleased. This was a sight he liked to see, not the troubled expression he saw earlier.

One of the bodyguards got the elevator for them. He instructed them to take the next one after all, the V.I.P ward was secured by his other bodyguards. And he wanted some privacy with his wife. He felt a finger drawing circles on his chest and smiled to himself.

"What\'s up?" He softly asked.

"Am I not heavy?" She knew she had gained weight.

"No."

Her free hand returned to his neck as she moved to look at him in disbelief. "Really?"

"Mm", he responded with his dotting gaze locking on her.

They fell silent and simply stared at each other. It felt like it was just the two of them in the world. They were lost in the depths of each other\'s eyes unable to look anywhere else but into them. It was just like the first time.

It took one stare to be so drawn to each other. But even without being physically together, the two had drawn closer. It was hard to resist, Amy knew this better.

Ding!

It was now she realized that her heart had been beating wildly. But he was no exception, she felt it. Her attention was brought to the bodyguards who were already waiting for them by the doors.

"I thought you came in a helicopter?"

"I flew with some while the others drove here", he knew what she was asking.

Amy nodded and now took in a young man with ashy gray hair. She remembered the footage of someone impersonating Dylan leaving the airport while George dealt with the goons. She looked at Zach and let out a soft gasp to which he smiled when he realized she had figured out what he did.

She stared at him in wonderment. Zach\'s perception amazed her. He not only helped her but understood before she could say anything. That plan about Dylan\'s rescue, no one could have guessed she would send him right into the enemy\'s hands yet Zach knew or had an idea what she planned to do.

The two shared a gaze and Amy thought, \'this level of perception, it sure is scary.\'

What else has he been doing in relation to her? She wondered.
