Not your typical baby mama

"We're going for a walk!" Amy shouted to Stella who was in the kitchen.

"Alright dear!" Stella shouted as she busied herself in the kitchen. She felt uncomfortable letting others cook for her and decided to make a little something for everyone while Zach and Amy went out for a walk.

The two walked hand in hand going around the property. As the sun was setting, the sprinklers had been turned on to water the landscape. But as they walked further, the sprinklers were turned off leaving the landscape looking green and beautiful accompanied by the setting sun. The soft breeze brushed through their hair and Zach frowned at this. He stopped to fix her coat before they resumed walking.

"Oh!" Amy stopped when one side of her slip-on came off.

Zach went to get and knelt down to help her put it back on. "You should have worn outdoor shoes."

"But these are more comfortable", she whined, not wanting to be scolded. "Besides, they're matching my dress."

Zach stood up and sighed. She gave him a sweet smile. "I love you."

"Our baby better take after me", he said with a shake his head before they resumed walking.

"Wait", she made him stop and frowned at him. "What about me?"

Zach let out a tired sigh as he pulled her along. Amy was not having it.

"What's wrong with me Mister?" Amy out her foot down, refusing to move until she gets an answer.

Zach chuckled as he hooked a finger under her chin. "We can't have a baby that's too sexy now, can we?"

Amy narrowed her eyes at him in suspicion before her expression turned into a pompous one as she flipped her hair over her shoulder. "Well, it's true that one can't be too sexy but somehow, I always pull it off."

Zach laughed as they resumed walking. Their pace was unhurried because of Amy. "Were you always like this or was I just blinded by love?"

"Why? Having regrets?" She arched a brow at him.

"How can I?" He deliberately lowered his voice as he stopped to cup her cheek. "Over this sexiness."

Amy giggled as he leaned in to kiss her lips. He gently brushed his lips against hers, awakening the butterflies in her stomach. He stole one more quick kiss from her and she did the same to him making them both smile at each other before they resumed walking.

"Did you talk to Xavier today?" She started as she looked down at they linked hands before looking up at him.

"Not since yesterday, no."

"Is he settled?"

"Mm. He should be."

Amy sighed as she stared at the beautiful horizon. "I hope he can finally find what his heart desires."

The man in question was just leaving his apartment. He had put on a hoodie matching his jeans and shoes with nothing but his phone on him. His wardrobe had completely changed from what it used to be. It was no longer bright and colorful, but simple yet stylish.

He took in the beautiful scenery of the town he had settled in. There were more apartments than shops where he had settled so he had to walk a distance to get to the shops. This allowed him to appreciate the view of the Hudson River although from afar.

He cursed under his breath, remembering that he forgot his camera back in his room. He sighed in content as he appreciated the green landscape. He closed his eyes to breath in the clean air when a breeze blew a paper that stuck to his face.

He peeled it away from his face and was about to throw it away when something caught his eye.

"Huh?" He stopped to have a look. Three photos of three beautiful women, looking to be at least in their early twenties had been printed on the paper.

"Missing?" He muttered under his breath. Is the area not as peaceful as it seems? He looked around his surrounding then back at the paper.

He continued to read the details as he walked on. As the sun sunk in and darkness started to creep in, he finally reached the business part of the area. He easily identify a mini Mart and walked in. All he needed were a few things to fill up his fridge.

He took a cart and pushed it around, filling it in with his selected gooda ticking off everything on his shopping list. It wasn't long before the found everything he needed and went to the till.

"Good evening sir", the cashier greeted him with a coquettish smile she took in his handsomeness.

Xavier nodded as he started loading his purchases on the till when he caught sight of that person again. Just like the day before, he only caught a glimpse of the side profile of her face as she exited the glass doors. But this time, he saw her beautiful long legs clad in mid thigh shorts and her busty chest covered in an oversized shirt. The little boy was no longer with her.

'She looks too young to be a mom', he mused. 'No, don't judge.'

"Sir?" The cashier called out to earn his attention.

"Oh!" He had long finished loading his goods and they had been bagged. All that was left was for him to pay for them.

He gave the girl his card and started the payment process. As his receipt was printed out, his attention was drawn to the poster behind the girl. It was the same one he came across on his way to the mart.

"Excuse me, do you know what happened to those three?" Xavier could not help his curiosity. The girl tried not to swoon from his attractive deep voice and could not help but blush.

"No one really knows", the girl said quietly as she fought to be serious. "They left town four months ago saying they're going to the big city and no one has seen or heard from them since then."

"Oh." His brows furrowed as he looked at them once more. It was unfortunate that such a fate had befallen them. Who knew how aggrieved their families were from this?

"Thank you", he said while collecting his bags.

"You're welcome. Please come again!" She could not help herself.

Xavier's lips slightly lifted as he left the shop. With the news of the missing girls, he could not help but look at the town differently. He knew not every place was crime free but three girls missing at once? What happened to them?
