In West Village

"Roserie!!!" Suzy squealed as she took her from Amy and hugged her.

Amy smiled seeing her daughter's gummy smile while Suzy made funny faces and sounds at her. Zach closed the door behind them and the two settled on the seats in front of Suzy's desk. The latter went to her seat and sat Roserie on her lap.

"How's this little one feeling?" Suzy asked while bouncing her in her lap.

"She's fine now. The flu's gone", Amy said.

"Okay good", she carried her up to face her. "How could you fall sick? Don't fall sick, okay? Okay? Stay healthy so mommy doesn't worry, okay?"

"The most stressful time of my life", Amy groaned, leaning on Suzy's desk. Zach rubbed her lower back in comfort and she shot him a grateful smile.

"I knoooow. But now that I'm looking at you, were you eating at all?" Suzy's brows furrowed in disapproval at Amy's dramatic weight loss and the latter simply gave her a sad smile. "Gosh, you being stressed out meant Mr. Frost was stressed out too."

"Suzy, when will you stop addressing him so formally? I address Stephen as Stephen, why can't you do the same with Zachery?"

"Uhhh.....", Suzy looked at her friend's fiance's unfriendly face. "I think being formal is more comfortable."

"Agreed", Zach replied.

"What do you mean agreed?" She glared at her man who gave her a small smile.

"On that note Mr. Frost, hold on to this little princess, I need to examine your fiancé", Suzy announced.

Moments later, Amy was lying on the hospital bed in Suzy's office while Zach waited for them outside. She didn't bother changing into a hospital gown seeing as she was in a dress.

"So, how are you?" Suzy started.

"You know it's still weird having a conversation while you're down there", Amy complained.

"I'm just doing my job", she shrugged. "What's going on with you Jen? You sound fine over the phone but seeing you right now is telling a whole different story."

It was just like Suzy to hit the nail on the head. Amy was taken back to the time Suzy examined her when she first learned of her pregnancy. Time went by and they're still good friends. Coupled with her problems, she felt the tears well up from this.

"Is there a guide book on how to be a good mother?" She chuckled through a sob before tears fell down the sides of her temples.

"Aw Jen", Suzy frowned at this.

"Feels like I'm failing at this", she covered her face and quietly cried.

Suzy removed her latex gloves and pulled down Amy's legs as she was done. Now she could give her full focus on her friend. "Is this about Roserie falling sick?"

"You should've been there Suzy, it was scary. She had stopped breathing at some point and- and...."

"Jen, let me stop you right there. Take a deep breath and calm down so you can listen to me", she instructed and Amy did so. She wiped away her tears and looked at her friend, who now continued. "It would have been a lot easier if she could plainly tell you what's wrong with her, right? But Roserie is just a baby. She doesn't know how to react to and express most things except cry. She's learning this process, and so are you. Both of you are new to this.

"Nobody is a pro at understanding a baby so they can be the best parent. I'm in a medical field but when Trevor fell sick for the first time, I was no better than you. Heck I was probably worse. Every mother is like this so you're not alone.

"What our babies need in that time is their parent, their mommy. And you were present, and I'm sure you did everything you could to help her. When you were admitted at the hospital, I didn't have to ask to know you didn't sleep a wink that night, trying to see if she was okay."

"I still can't. I feel the need to constantly check on her to see if she is okay", she responded.

"See? What kind of a mother would be such a worrywort? The best kind. So stop beating yourself up", she reasoned, making Amy sigh. "But Jen, as much as it's okay and understandable to be like this, you're hurting your other baby because of this."

"Am I pregnant???" She whispershouted in horror.

"No silly, I mean Zach", she chuckled.

Amy nodded and breathed out a sigh in relief when she realized something. "You just addressed him informally."

"Only when he's not around and I'm trying to get a point across here. If you're like this, how do you think he's feeling? Take a good look at him and see."

Amy thought of this. She thought she was keeping things together but not with Zach's perception. If she can't sleep, neither can he. And if she's stressed out? Hence the comment Suzy made earlier. Geez! Even Suzy had seen it, how could she be so blind?

"This won't do. You need to start exercising, you've already lost a ton of weight, but do it to get rid of your mom pooch and for your mental health."

"Wait, so I'm good?"

"Mm-hm. But don't go too crazy with the exercises."

"I'll do pilates, I'm not one for active exercises like aerobics", she shuddered at the thought before she got up to dress up and then stay seated as they conversed.

"Lazy ass", Suzy shook her head in disapproval.

"Unlike those who don't exercise at all, I think I'm good", she smirked at Suzy who shot her a deadly glare.

"Whatever, have you visited the other hospital already for your head injury?"

"Oh yeah, days ago. I'm in the clear. Zachery made sure they don't miss a thing when they examined me."

"Gosh, that man loves you."

"He does", she broke into a smile at this thought. "And thank you, Suzy for everything."

She shook her head with a smile. Zach was brought in and Suzy had a little chat with the couple while playing with Roserie. Seeing how Amy was after their talk, Suzy felt relief wash over her. Things would now be better for the two, she was sure.

"By the way, have you done your research?" Amy asked. "Do you know what you want?"

Upon hearing that question, she froze in her seat before faking a shocked gasp. "Gosh! Look at the time, shouldn't you be on your way? The Thornton's must be dying to see you lot", she stood to usher them out.

"Suzy", Amy glared at her, crossing her arms against her chest. "We have two months left! What kind of maid of honor are you?"

"I'm sorryyyyy! With the crazy work schedule, I forgot. I'll take a week off and we can dress hunt together. I promise", she said, giving her her best smile.

"You better", Amy pouted before breaking into a smile. "We should be on our way."

The two exchanged goodbye hugs, promising to call each other. Roserie was returned back into her father's arms. "Mr. Frost."

"Dr. Glynne."

Amy shook her head at this and walked out with her man leaving Suzy laughing. As the latter had said, the family of three did plan to stop by the Thorntons before returning to the big city. It was meant to be a short visit with a little chit chat over coffee and snacks with Richard, Stella and maybe Nora. But what she didn't expect was.....

"SURPRI-!"
