Not your typical baby mama

Why is it stuck on 99? She wanted to refresh the page but held her fingers in a fist, afraid to disrupt the process.

'Come ooooooooon!' she growled internally.

If it failed, it means going through today once more and she did not have it in her to do that again. She was screaming for a hot bath and a good night's rest.

'Come ooooooon!' she mused, wishing she could telepathically influence the process.

100%.

"Ahhhh!" She breathed out a sigh and chuckled excitedly. "Yes!"

"Congratulations", Zach patted her on the shoulder.

"Thank you", she smiled and took roserie from Zach, holding her up to shower her little face with kisses while giggling. Roserie blinked a few times and her mouth moved to what seemed to be a smile, feeling ticklish from her mother's actions. She breathed another sigh in relief, hugging her daughter and looked up at her man, "Were you going to wash up?"

"Care to join?" He teased.

"You'll have to bathe me", she shot back lazily with a cute pout.

He smirked, how could he say no to that? He took Roserie and went out to hand her over to her grandparents who had missed her all day. They were more than happy to spend time with her.

Zach jogged back to his room to find Amy working on her computer. "Aren't you done?"

"Just one more thing", she answered. He moved to sit beside her and understood the moment he saw the screen. "I have Pedro to thank for this but he's such a... ugh."

Despite his attitude towards her when working with him which was a complete 180 of what he was like when teaching pilates, she appreciated the information he gave on list of gangs affiliated with the Dark waters, theirs included.

There was no physical way to find Amy, she knew how frustrating it was for them with the situation these people were in. Therefore she conveniently dropped a little more information under her bounty info. And they all tried accessing and digging deeper into it.

What they didn't know was it was a little system bug she had created that would plant itself in their computers and help Amy easily access their devices they moment they dove into it. She was sure their technicians were glued to the computers trying everything to find her technically.

"I'm taking control of all their computers", she explained to Zach.

"Just like you did with my team during the Parton incident?" He questioned with an amused smile.

"Well", she smiled, not denying it. "I'll admit that I loved watching you that day, when you recognized me."

"You were watching me?" His brows went up, failing to stop himself from smiling.

"How could I not?" She paused to look at him, blushing at her own words before proceeding with the task.

Zach shook his head, smiling at her compliment of him when a thought suddenly occurred to him. "Were you anywhere near the company that day?"

"Right across the street", she answered.

His jaw slightly dropped. "Do you know that I started looking for you the moment I opened my eyes in that hotel?"

Amy paused and looked at him, it was her turn to be shocked. It was really love at first sight for them both, and not just lust. "I..... I wanted to go to you but I..... I didn't know if... And then there was the issue of these guys."

So many what ifs went through their heads. But thinking back to how their relationship had developed over time, it was unique and beautiful, neither would have it any other way. Amy looked back at the computer, confirming that she had left them in panic.

While they tried to regain control and call for their masters, she put the device down and wrapped her arms around Zach's neck pressing her lips to his in a passionate kiss.

He carried her to the bathroom and got them under the shower. She asked to be washed, he very much obliged, taking his time and stealing a few more kisses from her.

Twenty good minutes later, they were both out with Zach wearing a towel around his waist and Amy over her body. While he dried his hair, she went back to her laptop.

That was enough time to gain everyone's attention. On her now black screen which relftected what everyone else she had hacked into, the gangs, could see, she began to type a simple message that would literally shake things up.

HELLO EVERYONE,

WERE YOU LOOKING FOR ME?

Dylan's eyes flew open in that very moment as though waking up from a nightmare. He had fallen asleep, definitely had a nightmare but could not even remember what it was about. Whatever it was, it was bad.

He looked over the other side of the bed and Esmeralda was nowhere in sight. He got out of bed, not bothering to turn on the lights. The bathroom was empty so he decided to check outside the room. He was not sure where to start when he heard a rhythmic tapping sound followed by her long sigh.

He followed the sound and found her in his office whose door was left open. "What are you doing up?"

"Hey", she answered absentmindedly, sitting behind his desk, tablet in hand, focused on whatever it was that was there and fingers rapping against the desk.

He walked over behind the chair to have a look only to instantly grow annoyed at the sight. "Are you still doing this? You left me in bed to do this?"

She swiped a finger through the pictures. "I promise, it's not what it looks like."

"It's exactly what it looks like", he countered.

"No", she put the device down and stood up to face him. "It's literally not like that. I was wondering, was your next step in getting A.J to lure her in?"

"Yes?" He gave her a sceptical gaze.

"Perfect. I have an idea", she picked up the device and started swiping through the pictures. "These are all the people who we have placed tags on. What if we used one of them to lure her?"

"A kidnap? George is the obvious choice" he pointed out.

She shook her head. "Not a kidnap. That's too easy and too predictable."

"We kill them", she whispered with a murderous glint flashing in her eyes matching the cold expression on her face. Dylan's face stiffened at those three words whilst she continued to swipe through the pictures.

She continued, "One of these people has to die. It will send a message to our dear Amy that we mean business. It's time to put an to this silly game, it's been going on for too long."
