"Amy?" Zach called out as he walked into their room.

"I\'ll be right with you!" She shouted from the bathroom.

He went to the walk-in wardrobe and removed his jacket and tie. He exchanged his shoes for house slippers before walking out while rolling up his shirt sleeves. He was greeted by the familiar back of Amy putting away her laptop she had left on the bed.

He went to hug her from behind yet she turned around. Her blond hair fell to her mid back, she had grown a lot more chubby and very heavy as she approached her nine months mark. Her complexion was rosy and her breasts had grown bigger than before. She was in a simple black maternity dress with house slippers on. She smiled at her very handsome fiancé who smiled back at her.

He leaned down to capture her lips with his. She grabbed him by his shirt as she responded to his passionate kiss. He broke the kiss and she smiled with her blues shining so brightly.

"You look beautiful", Zach said with a caress of her cheeks.

She blushed under his watch. "Thank you. How was your day?"

"Not bad", he said then he looked down to find her feet swollen. He frowned at her, "Did you stay in bed all day?"

Her lips fell into a cute pout as she whined, "I had work but I still-"

"Asked Raphy to walk around so your phone records the number of footsteps he took in your place? Again?" He narrowed his eyes at her.

Her eyes narrowed as she fell into a sheepish grin, "You knew?"

"Get ready, we\'re going for a walk", he said.

"Babe..." She whined only to get an arched brow from him as a response. Yeah, she could not escape this. "Okay."

Soon, they were walking on the path in the flower garden at the back of the mansion close to the training room. He had showered and changed into a printed half sleeved shirt with black trousers. Their steps were slow, their fingers laced walking hand in hand, and the atmosphere was peaceful. The sun was setting while a gentle breeze caressed their skin blowing their hair.

"So how\'s it going?" He started.

"Honestly? It\'s not easy. I was excited when I found out the drug had the same chemical components as the ones Greco is using", she started.

She could not be grateful enough for Suzy\'s help. Their hospital would take too long to analyze Mona\'s blood work, Suzy had explained. Originally, Amy had asked for a copy of the results but with the delay, she asked for a sample of Mona\'s blood before the girl was buried. Suzy did as told and delivered. One of Zach\'s men personally took the blood work to a lab in Switzerland where the discovery had been made.

When she thanked Suzy for the help, she could not help but wonder why help came so easily. She still remember what the woman said:

Two months ago.....

"From what I\'ve seen, I figured your identity is not so simple", she admitted. "You must be someone special. And I have a good feeling about you."

Suzy referred to the time Zach had called her to get Amy when the latter had collapsed. He had her promise she would do so in secret, hence the break in.

And she saw how protective he was of the young woman from the bodyguards in the hospital to him asking her advice on getting medical equipment for Amy\'s treatment and in case she might have to give birth at home. With no offense intended, he made her sign an N.D.A on top of it all. Of course, Amy didn\'t know this part. But she would understand that Zach was just being cautious.

"You don\'t know what I want to do with this", she said pointing at the sample.

"Something tells me you want to help", she said earning a smile from Amy. "I guessed right."

"I\'ll never forget this. You have no idea what your help means to me."

"What are friends for", Suzy smiled back.

Back to present.....

"This step we\'ve taken is hard. Those people are so careful in their dealings this slip up almost feels useless", she huffed out in annoyance.

"Don\'t give up", he gently said.

"Oh! I won\'t! The harder it is, the more I want to do it!" She said with a voice full of determination.

Zach chuckled and turned with a cup of her chin and kissed her lips. She blinked twice looking up at him cutely slightly confused.

"I love you", he said with a dotting gaze.

She fell into a blush as her lips stretched into a shy smile. "I love you too."

The couple shared a brief kiss before proceeding to walk around. Amy had a lot on her plate, but with Zach around, she could temporarily forget about her worries. She had figured out what killed Mona but not why or how. Like Zach had said, she should not fret over something she has no control over. But, certain individuals in West Village knew why.

One of them visited the other. Three months had passed but the wound in Demi\'s heart never healed. She knocked on Ian\'s door and he soon opened. He had knocked off early from the library. Adrianne was still helping as Stella could still not work yet though she had made progress in using less of the wheelchair.

"What are you doing here?" He asked when he opened the door.

It was bad enough yet understandable for Mona\'s mom to lash out on him whenever she saw him, he could take it, but he would not take Demi\'s. She didn\'t care and pushed her way in. Annoyed, he closed the door and walked back to settle on a sofa.

"You shouldn\'t have done that to her", she started with a shaky voice trying not to cry.

"What are you talking about?"

"You know what you did! If you hadn\'t, my best friend..... My best friend...", She put a hand to her face, took a deep breath and wiped her tears before regaining composure. "You shouldn\'t have done that!"
