Amy's heart thudded wildly in anticipation she thought he could practically hear it from their closeness. He wasn't even touching her but she was already reacting this way. She heard him sigh as his breath fanned her skin before he withdrew.

Her eyes flew open and she felt embarrassed. She looked anywhere but at him. Zach resumed cleaning her including her hands and feet. Then she requested for a brush of her teeth which she did by herself. He cleaned up when she was done.

She could hardly look him in the eye but she noticed him busy himself. The Chairman of Frost Corporation had made himself her caretaker, this thought made her feel giddy. Chairman..... She looked at the time on the wall then gasped when she realized something.

"Work! What about work? I mean you're all the way here."

He smiled at how worried she looked. "Don't worry about it. It's been taken care of."

More like he dumped it all on Xavier who was cussing him. Not jus work, but Henry. He left everything for his mother and brother to handle. He had his wife and child to take care of. He looked at her belly with an affectionate gaze. He sat beside her was hesitant but still ended up caressing her belly.

"It's cupcake", she said with a warm smile. She felt extremely happy with his actions.

"Is that what we're naming our baby when he or she is born?" He looked at her and returned her smile.

"No, it's a foetus name."

He nodded, "Do you know the gender?"

"No, I wanted to be surprised. But you can ask Suzy if you're curious about the gender."

"No, we'll both be surprised when the time comes."

'We'. He said it again. Does that mean he'll be there? She desperately wished he could. After her nightmare, she suddenly developed the fear of losing her baby to Gwen. She knew it was just a dream but her insecurities got the best of her. After all, she would be vulnerable. But if Zach is there, she would feel rest assured.

"Shall I say something? I don't know if cupcake knows my voice", he said with an awkward chuckle as he looked between her belly and her face.

"Cupcake knows daddy's voice. Our favorite sound and time of the day is listening to him talk every night before we go to bed", she confessed softly.

Complex emotions surged within him. He had been worrying that he missed out but she had included him early on without him knowing. He suddenly pulled her into his arms. Amy relaxed in his arms and felt something press on top of her before it went away. She figured he was adjusted his head during the embrace.

"Thank you", he whispered.

She felt the raw emotions in his voice. Her response was to tighten her hold on him. And the day went on like that, with him taking care of her every need and conversing in between. Maybe because they had been talking for a while, their conversations didn't run out or become awkward. She remembered to call Stella and assure her she was fine.

When night fell, Suzy came in to check on her before leaving, the two had their hotel standard dinner, and Zach freshened up before getting ready to go to bed. Amy was taken by the sight of him in sweats and a shirt. It's like he was modeling for casual clothes. Her brows went up when he walked over to her bed.

"You're sleeping here?" Her voice slightly rose from shock.

"Mm. The bed is big enough for two", he pointed out.

Didn't he think it would be better to maintain distance after what Suzy said? She wanted to voice that out but changed her mind because it would reveal her inner thoughts. So she clummed her mouth shut. Zach's lips lifted when he saw this and leaned forward. His face was inches away from hers as he held her chin.

"What is it?" His gaze lingered on her lips before locking on her eyes.

Amy swallowed a hard lump. Her cheeks cutely burned red and she couldn't escape his gaze with their closeness. His eyes made sure hers remained in his. She felt she was hypnotized by those intense blues.

"I think.... You should sleep where you slept last night", she managed to say.

"But I slept right beside you. Why? Don't you want to sleep with me?" He whispered.

His minty breath fanned her face and she subconsciously clutched the sheets from their closeness and bit her lower lip. And that question, it didn't sound as innocent as it should be or was she just taken by him?

Zach's eyes darkened with lust from such a simple action. "I'm worried. The following two weeks might be brutal."

Amy turned even more red. She assumed he could see through her naughty thoughts when in truth, he was talking about himself. She had been nothing but a temptation all day. There had been too many moments he almost lost control but fought his urges because of the doctor's orders. He didn't want to start a meal and leave it unfinished.

"I'll take the couch."

"You can sleep here."

They said at the same time.

"Are you sure?" They asked in unison.

And they ended up in bed with Zach spooning Amy. His hand was on her belly, caressing it. He found no point or pleasure in maintaining distance from his wife and baby. Maybe because they had been talking for a while, none of them felt embarrassed or awkward to sleep like this even if it was the first time.

The room was quiet and only echoed with the sound of the A.C. Both of them felt so happy, content, and at peace with their current situation. She didn't know why she was pushing him away in the first place. How idiotic. She denied her cupcake of going to sleep like this. But a thought came to mind.

"Zachery?" She called out softly to which he hummed in response. "About those men...."

He knew who she was talking about. The men who made the news due to Gwen's actions. His gaze turned icy as he responded softly, "Don't worry about them."
