Amy knew she shouldn't get involved with Zach on a personal level; but she was not sure if she could trust herself. Even when their communication was limited to emails, she could not help the attraction towards him. But for the baby's sake, she needed to keep a relationship with Zach, a formal one.
Should anything happen to her and she fails to protect their child, she would make sure he/she's delivered to his/her daddy before all else. That way, it won't come as such a big surprise to him. But she hoped it would not come to that. Maybe when things look up, she would tell him about the baby and work out parenting then. For now:
Ajtlh@***.com: I'm fine. I'm sorry I had something on.
His response came right away. She went to her room to change into sweat pants and a shirt in readiness to go to Stella's.
Zach sighed in relief when he saw her response. He was currently on his way back to the city for an emergency meeting for another project their corporation had taken on.
