Not your typical baby mama

Amy had just finished checking in with Zach. She should hate doing so but instead she was looking forward to each time. 'Why am I doing this to myself?' She silently sighed before putting down her phone to find eight smiling faces with curiosity evident in their eyes.

"Spill!!" Anastasia could hardly contain the excitement. They had clearly watched Amy blush while she was on the phone.

"Were you talking to your husband?" Dorothy asked.

"Or were you talking to your husband?" Meredith repeated in a deliberate slur. She had a sly smile on as she wiggled her brows playfully.

All: "..."

"Did I imagine it or did she repeat what I just said?" Dorothy's brows were furrowed in confusion.

"Hold on", Adrianne spoke. She narrowed her eyes at Meredith seeming to comprehend the situation, "Was that... supposed to be suggestive?"

"Was it.... not?" Meredith looked around with her face red from embarrassment.

The rest of them sighed before they redirected their focus on Amy. Meredith sipped on her tea hoping to wash away the embarrassment. This is why she's always quiet.

"So how did he react to the exciting news?" Sylvia asked with clear joy. "Ow!" She reached down to rub her shin.

Amy was not sure who had kicked Sylvia but one thing was clear, someone had spilled to the ladies about her pregnancy news. While the ladies looked away awkwardly, Stella's face was red and she avoided Amy's gaze by sipping on her tea. Clearly, Stella was more excited than herself. Amy smiled at this thought.

"It's okay. I haven't had the chance to tell him."

"But weren't you talking to him just now?" Meredith blurted out.

"Alright ladies, let's go back to the novel. Chapter one-" Stella abruptly spoke at the same time Emma said:

"Anyone passed by the construction site down town?"

"I've been there five times. What about it?" Adrianne said nonchalantly.

All the heads turned in her direction with judging and disapproving gazes except for Amy who was puzzled. Slowly, she now understood. Adrianne never disappointed.

"Hypocrites! Sylvia and Liz, your jog was a little slower than usual this morning when passing by that site. Anastasia, you couldn't fool anyone with those 'selfies'. And don't get me started on you Dorothy!" Adrianne shot back.

Sylvia and Elizabeth: "Uh..."

But all the gazes quickly turned on Dorothy. What did this fifty something year old do? It was usually Stella who shamelessly oggled at good-looking young men. Dorothy tried to keep an indifferent expression.

"Slandering your friends when you're in a bind won't get you anywhere!" Dorothy reprimanded. Her nostrils flared but she tried to keep her calm.

"Slander? Ha!" Adrianne scoffed before crossing her hands over her chest.

"What did she do?" Stella voiced out everyone's curious thought.

"She did her warm up exercises by the road side", Adrianne spoke.

It was Dorothy who now scoffed with an eyeroll. "What's the big deal? They jogged by the site, why aren't you making a big deal about that?"

A cold chuckle resounded in the room. Amy felt the women were being dramatic but things were bound to spice up as long as Adrianne was around. Adrianne calmed down from her chuckle before she looked Dorothy in the eye.

"I have the video.... Grandma!" Adrianne smirked.

And that took all the attention away from Amy and the book. The room fell into chaos with some of the women trying to restrain Dorothy who was both in a panic and offended from being called a grandma. Two hours later, they left the room with happy smiles and an embarrassed Dorothy. It seemed such occurrences were common among them.

"See you tomorrow baby mama", Adrianne winked at Amy as she left the library.

Stella walked them out as usual while Amy settled on her workstation. Ian had stopped in his tracks when he heard what Adrianne said. Amy had just sat down when he walked back to her desk. He had on a troubled expression as he watched her.

"Everything okay?" Amy asked.

"Are you.... Are you pregnant?" Ian asked with great difficulty.

"Yes", Amy subconsciously placed her hand on her stomach. Ian took note of this and fell silent. Amy did not expect everyone to give her their congratulations but she expected Ian to say something else than just stand there and zone out on her belly. As though something possessed him, he abruptly left for his station.

"..."

Amy shrugged it off. Stella returned twenty minutes later and went to her office. They hardly ever had many customers on Fridays, so they were the slowest days. Since finding out and accepting her pregnancy, she's been eating healthy and drinking lots of water. So she got up, and went to the bathroom.

She relieved herself and washed her hands before exiting the bathroom. As she walked back, she suddenly heard a loud thud.

Her head whipped in the direction of the sound. Another thud was heard. She turned and walked into that direction until she found herself in front of the storeroom. Another thud was heard. Her heart started to pound as she got closer. What could it be?

Her hand slowly inched toward the handle when she froze in movement from hearing the sound that followed.

"Ah! Ah! Yes! Like that!" A girl was moaning from the inside.

Amy felt awkward and embarrassed. Who would be so brave to do this in the library storeroom? It was disrespectful to Stella. Anger quickly built up and she made to march in when she heard the next words.

"Yes Ian! Ah! Yes!"
