Chapter 210 Xavier’s Peace

Name:Not your typical baby mama Author:
There was a baby bathtub with bathing accessories, two thick blankets, baby clothes of different colors and cute designs with matching little gloves and shoes, baby carrier, a diaper bag, and a set of pajamas for herself, the baby, and Zach. Amy exhaled softly and blinked back tears as she marveled at the gifts. She had no words.

"Wow!" She whispered and sniffled.

"The ladies wrote little messages inside you can read later on", Stella said to which Amy nodded.

"Thank you so much. All of you, I really appreciate all of this", Amy said. The ladies nodded and acknowledged her appreciation.

"You're in a book club?" Becky asked with interest as Edmund had maids put the gifts away.

"Yes, back in West Village", Stella answered.

"You're from West Village?" Kris asked, trying not to frown at this.

"Really? But Amy you have a bit of a New Yorker's accent, I thought you were from here", Adelaide commented.

"Maybe because I've lived here since my days at NYU, but I'm from West Village. Born and raised", Amy answered making the other ladies nod.

Two people were shocked by this. Kris could not believe that a man as might as Zach settled for a country bumpkin as his wife. This did not sit right with her. Who knows, maybe she trapped him with the child and he had no choice but to leave his lover and settle with her? But she couldn't voice this out after all Victoria had already warned her.

Stella was shocked by this revelation but she concealed it. As someone who could tell when Amy lies saw that the girl was telling the truth. But how come she never knew her knowing how long she has lived there?

Edmund went on to whisper to Victoria.

"The cake's ready."

"Bring it to the room we'll be having a spa. It will be a good surprise!" She almost squealed in excitement as he nodded before leaving. She clasped her hands together when she turned to the ladies. "Time for our spa treatment!"

The ladies whooped as they were guided to different rooms to change into white fluffy robes before they were shown to a room that had been arranged for their spa. Although Amy was enjoying herself, she could not help but wonder what her man was up to as she walked there. They really had not spoken for a few hours.

At Xavier's place

"You should talk to him", George said to Xavier with a sip of his drink.

They were in his game room and bar. George was sat on a stool at the bar as he watched Zach aim for his shot on the pool table. Xavier stood to the side with a glass in one hand and his stick in the other as he awaited his turn.

"I know but it feels...."

"Awkward because you feel guilty?" George concluded.

"Exactly", Xavier answered before sipping on his drink.

"He knows that", Zach said and took his shot, sending four balls into their respective holes at the same time. He stood up straight and stepped asidez giving Xavier some space. "I'm sure he doesn't expect things to go back to normal right away."

"What he said", George agreed. "Telling you everything is a big step. It just shows he wants to fix things with you. Think of how lucky you are."

Xavier stood with his gaze on the pool table. But deep down, he was digesting everything the two said. Zach felt his phone vibrate from his pocket and a smile crept onto his lips when he saw the ID 'wifey' with a heart. He moved a few feet away from them as he answered.

"Hey baby", he answered in a softly.

"What are you up to?" Amy asked.

"Pool with the boys. How is it going over there?"

"Fun but with a little drama", she said making him chuckle. He could already guess who was in the center of the drama. "I miss you", she whispered.

Zach felt his heart thump at that confession. And being honest, "I miss you too. I can't wait to get back home to you."

She gave a soft chuckle at his words and felt her heart swell with warmth.

"How's our little cupcake?" He asked.

"Great. We're having fun together. As soon as I had some cake, my stomach turned into a soccer field", she said making them both chuckle.

"But when you're tired, get some rest. You don't have to sit through the whole party", he reminded.

"Mm. I won't. How's Xavier doing?"

Zach looked at the man in question and exhaled softly. "He's alright, picking up the pieces. Things should be falling into place from now on."

"He needs that. He's been through a lot", Amy commented sincerely.

Amy knew Zach desperately wished Xavier would finally have peace in his life. The man had been through a lot where he stood. She also shared the same wish. Unfortunately, someone had a different thought.

At Crystal Palace in Nicole's room, Neela struggled to keep hold of her drunk friend. Nicole had trashed the place as she cried her heart out with a bottle of wine in one hand.

"Let me go!!" Nicole cried.

"Damn it! Get a hold of yourself! You might do something you'll regret", Neela cautioned with a groan as she pulled her back to her bedroom.

"I need to see him. I can't live without him!" She stopped struggling and turned to face her friend with a tear stained face. "What happened between you two, it's all in the past. He was good to me."

Neela let out an exhausted sigh. "You know the type of man that he is. And he hasn't called or done anything to get you back. He's probably moved on."

"You don't know that. You don't know him like I do. I-"

"Nicole. Nicole", she held her shoulders, earning her attention. "Nicole, how many times did you start unnecessary fights with Xavier? How many times did he leave you hanging like this? He always came back, didn't he? But now, he hasn't called nor come to visit you even if it's to use getting his stuff as an excuse. Don't you think, if he really wanted this, he would have been here already?"

Nicole fell silent at this. Taking this opportunity, Neela took the bottle of wine and moved to place on a table in the room only for her to hear the sound of the door slamming close. Nicole had escaped.

She shook her head and looked at the door with a frown. "She's going to regret this."
