The next day

It was still in the early morning hours. Zach and Amy spent the night at the hospital. He was seated on a chair beside her bed, holding her right hand in both of his, watching her sleep while her left hand lay on top of the covers and hooked to a drip.

While he was still in his black on black combat outfit, Amy had changed into a comfortable hospital gown. Partly was because of the tests the doctors run on her to examine her head injury and any possible injuries she may have sustained whilst unconscious. Zach did not want to overlook any possibilities.

She had gone into enemy territory, he couldn\'t trust that she would come back unscathed. On their way to the hospital, she had asked for her ring and now it was back where it belonged. A soft knock resounded from the door.

The four older members of his family poured in with Victoria carrying a sleeping Roserie. Both women had nothing but worry written on their faces seeing Amy in that state. He held a finger to his lips signaling them to be quiet before he received a duffel bag from Stella.

"What happened?" Victoria was the first to ask.

"Is she alright?" Stella followed.

"What did the doctors say?" Victoria added.

"She seems fine but we\'re yet to hear from the doctors", he replied. He moved to check on his daughter. "How is she?"

"She\'s fine although we had to give her something to put her to sleep", Victoria responded. She grimaced thinking of how fussy the little one grew the previous night.

"Zach", Henry called out quietly and then nodded towards the door.

The two men excused themselves and stood right outside the doors. The bodyguards moved a few feet away to give them privacy.

"What happened? One minute you\'re attending the funeral and now this?" He probed. "What exactly happened?"

Zach let out an exasperated sigh as he rubbed the back of his neck in frustration. The plan was indeed for him and Amy to simply attend the funeral because of what Joanne meant to her.

"We went after the King", he replied. "We got her."

"What?"

"Amy and I, we didn\'t want to give these people any opportunity or time to find out anything more they coukd possibly use against us seeing how they were onto our family and what they already knew about Amy", he explained.

"Roserie", Henry figured.

Zach nodded, "We couldn\'t risk that. Yesterday was the perfect opportunity. The only problem was Amy had to let herself fall into their trap."

"Zach, that was dangerous", Henry said in disapproval.

"Believe me, I know", he let out another sigh. Anything could have happened to her and he especially felt that fear when his men lost Amy when they tried to go after Aldo and company. It was like a part of him was gone with her, he didn\'t feel himself, she was out of his reach, out of sight, and the situation was out of control.

"So what exactly happened?" Henry wanted in on the details. He knew the two were smart despite the danger.

"Nora stood in as a body double and lured the King\'s men away after the service and gave Amy enough time to change into a similar outfit as her."

"Nora? Stella\'s daughter?"

"Yes." Amy could not do such a strenuous exercise especially in her condition which is why Nora came through. Zach continued, "She led them into a few alleys leading to one we had dropped off Amy, they switched and she got taken. But we lost them when we tried to go after them."

Henry saw how dark Zach\'s expression grew when he said that, it must have been a painful moment for him. His boy had lost Amy once, now that they had found happiness despite everything, he could only imagine how devastating it was for him in that moment.

"Did she really have to go through all that? Couldn\'t you plant a tracker on one of them or something?" Henry hated the danger Amy was in.

Zach thought back to when he bumped into Aldo who was keeping a watch on Amy. He wanted to plant it but, "Too risky. And these people are very cautious, I don\'t think they would risk anyone giving away their location. Besides that, we had to make it look like she had fallen into their trap. That way they would let their guard down probably thinking she was alone and defenseless.

"And only Amy could do that. She knew why she was taken and she wanted to use that as a cover to send us her location as well as retrieve the locations of their base and hideouts in Italy from their system. Dylan could have done that for her too but that would mean his death before we got to them."

Henry shook his head after Zach\'s explanation. Amy risked her life and Zach risked losing Amy just to end this war. But seeing the way Zach was glued to her when they walked into them just now, Henry knew that would be the last time he would let his fiancé walk right into danger even if it was for the greater good.

He gave a strong pat on his son\'s shoulder, comforting him for the long night they had and commending him at the same time. Zach\'s lips slightly lifted knowing what the gesture meant. The door slid open from behind them to reveal Richard stepping out.

"Is Amy awake?" Zach asked.

"Mm. Sorry, those two just can\'t keep it down", Richard apologized.

Zach shook his head. As much as he wanted Amy to rest, he would let it be if she didn\'t complain.

"I better check in on her", Henry moved to go in when Richard stopped him.

"You can\'t go in yet. They said they need to help Amy with something", he explained.

They all exchanged a strange look, unsure of what the issue was but shrugged it off. However, Roserie\'s cry resounded from within at the same time he spotted a familiar figure of Susan Glynne rushing towards them.

"Dr. Glynne", Richard greeted in recognition as she stopped to stand before them.

"Good morning Mr. Thornton, Mr. Frost, and Mr. Frost", she greeted with a smile.

"Thank you for coming through Dr. Glynne", Zach said with gratefulness.

"Nooooo. Amy?"

"She\'s inside. I\'m sure you could go in", Zach said letting her pass through.

Susan knocked first announcing her arrival before going in. She found Amy wearing a breast pump bra, trying to pump milk from one side at the same time trying to feed a fussy Roserie who just couldn\'t take her food.

"Ssshhh, I\'m here, mommy\'s here", Amy spoke as she adjusted her daughter in her arms. "Roserie....."

Amy had her brows furrowed, growing frustrated by the little one\'s outburst and the pain from the boob Roserie refused to take. She took a deep breath suppressing her feelings to focus more on her daughter while Suzy exchanged greetings with the two older ladies.

"It\'s okay cupcake. It\'s okay, I\'m sorry. Mommy is sorry. Don\'t cry ssshhh don\'t cry", she tried again and this now Roserie started to feed.

Her muffled cries slowly quieted as she finally started to focus on feeding. Amy breathed out a sigh in relief before she used her free hand to start pumping the other side.

"I can\'t even be mad at you", Suzy complained making Amy give her a helpless smile. "How are you feeling?"

"Glad that you\'re not mad at me", she replied with a cheeky smile.

"Is Trevor with you?" Stella asked with curiosity.

"No, he\'s staying with my boyfriend Stephen." As soon as she said that, Amy\'s mouth fell into an amused \'O\'. She ignored her with a bashful smile playing on her lips and continued to explain, "This little one\'s dad asked for me to be present as your doctor especially since you just gave birth."

"Thank you and I\'m sorry we had to trouble you."

"It\'s no trouble", she brushed it off with a wave of a hand. She was about to continue speaking when another knock was heard.

"Amy, the doctor is here", Zach announced.
