4) Worlds Apart
Two Months Later/GA HQ
3rd Person P.O.V- By now the once tight-nit couples' strings that have held them so close have unraveled. Amara moved out, works as a part time waitress and went to her latest doctor's appointment. Zak got his wish, it's a baby girl. Now speaking of Zak he's been a total wreck, but has held it together for the sake of the show and his Crew.
Nick- We knew immediately that something happened when Zak came in a few weeks ago without his fiancé. I know my brother and he's an utter wreck.
Aaron- All of us are very fond of Mara. (Frowns) Making sure Zak wasn't within hearing distance. (Whispers) "What happened to the Dark Queen?"
Billy- The atmosphere was cold and tense, so we all knew better than to gossip with Zak in ear-shot. (Shrugs and Whispers) "They must have had a fight, I mean all couples do."
Jay- Already knowing that Zak was in another part of the office and out of hearing range as well as preoccupied with the information for our next location. I don't even bother to look up from my laptop as I put in my two cents on the matter. (Hums Softly and) "Yes couples do fight, but not to the extent that one moves out of the house."
Nick- We all look at Jay, our eyes widening in shock. "Where did you hear that?"
Jay- I gaze up and notice their looks. (Raises Eyebrow and Sighs) "Ash ran into Mara, she's been working seven days a week at the diner on the corner of 5th and Main as a waitress. Apparently the fight between our leaders had resulted in Amara moving out."
Aaron- (Frowns and Shakes Head) "That explains Zak being in a mood."
Billy- (Nods Agreeingly) "And why Amara is no longer working with us." The meeting room door creaks open as Zak walks in. (Eyes Widen) We all turn our attention to one thing or another as if we had indeed been working that whole time.
Zak- Practically in my own little world, I strut into the meeting room and suddenly toss files at them. "We have a location to investigate!"
Nick- I share weary glances with the others. Picking up the file, I read over the detailed information and it's about an orphanage. (Mutters Softly) "Oh the Irony!" I resisted the urge to smack my head off the table.
Nevada Apartment Complex
Amara- (Sighs Heavily) I rest my hand against my belly in thought as I look around the newly finished nursery. (Hums Softly) "Ingrid Alexandria..."
Ashley- Hearing the odd tone, we all turn to face Mara who has a rather dreamy look plastered across her face. (Smiles) Walking across the room as I stand beside her, resting my head on her shoulder admiring our work. (Hums Inquiringly)
Veronique- Walking over to the other side of Mara, placing her between Ash and I. (Smiles Coyly) "We do immaculate work."
Amara- (Hums and Nods) "That we do..."
Kelly- Walking up behind Mara as I wrap my arms around her waist. "Four pregnant women and a one-year old put together the perfect baby room." (Laughs Gleefully) "I say, we did better than what our men would have done."
Amara- All of us were in agreement of the statement as the baby room is simple, yet over the top in a subtle way. (Smiles Tearily) The only thing I could think of at that moment, is that it was absolutely perfect. (Whines) "God I'm gonna have one spoiled child."
Veronique- (Smiles Proudly) "No honey, you are going to have a very loved child." Turning slightly as I wrap my arm around her waist and lay my free hand against her swollen belly. "This little angel has a village..."
Kelly- The poor girl fell into us as she cried. (Smiles Lovingly) "We are all here with you, you are not alone in this."
Ashley- (Hums) Reaching up to run my fingers through her sweat slicked hair. "You muttered something, what was it?"
Amara- Collecting myself as I stand up as straight as I can, wiping away the tears that stung my cheeks. "Her name..." I pause a moment, before letting out a shuddering sigh. (Smiles Brightly) "I have her name."
Veronique- (Smiles Happily) "That's great, let's hear it!"
Amara- "Ingrid Alexandra Bagans."
Kelly and Ashley- (Coos) "Mara, that's beautiful!"
Veronique- Speaking of Zak was a very touchy subject especially after Ashley initially ran into her. It took a couple weeks before she had completely opened up and told us about what had really happened. Now was the perfect time to bring the dirtbag up. (Hums Deviously) "I believe Zak should know..." We all gaze at Amara, watching her closely and gageing her reaction to the statement made.
Amara- Hearing Zak's name, it bubbled up emotions I had long since suppressed. Looking down at the ring on my finger. (Sighs Heavily) "Three fucking years and he says I made him want things he never wanted before..." Pausing momentarily as I spin the band around my finger. (Frowns) "Was it ever the truth?" (Huffs Hotly) "That's all I want to know."
Ashley- Kelly and I share sympathetic looks.
Veronique- Reaching up as I wipe away the tears. (Hums Softly) "Mara, you are the only one that Zak has been so openly truthful with. It was all weird and odd in the beginning, because we know him to spout out half truths which are always outlandish to some degree. Getting to know you and to see your relationship, it was refreshing and a sign that maybe you'd be the one to get him to finally settle down and give up the playboy life."
Amara- (Huffs Exaggeratedly and Mumbles) "Apparently not..."
Veronique, Kelly and Ashley- We all hug the more petite girl, giving her the attention and affection she desperately craved.

'Dearest Husbands, Amara has finally given us the baby name; Ingrid Alexandra Bagans.
Much Love Your Wives! ❤️💕😘
Veronique Groff, Ashley Wasley and Kelly Tolley'
Nick, Jay and Billy- Sharing mixed looks of confusion as our phones had gone off at the same time. (Eyes Widening) We immediately look up from our phones in sync, seeking each-other out. "WE HAVE A NAME!"
Aaron- Hearing my brother's phones go off at the same time was a bit unnerving, however I didn't pay much mind to it until they all suddenly shouted. (Raises Eyebrow and Smirks Corkily) "Name for what, your boy-band?"
Zak- (Raises Eyebrow Inquiringly)
Jay and Billy- Leaving this convo up to Nick, we get up from our current seats and briskly walk to the couch as we sit on either side of Aaron, showing him the text.
Aaron- (Sputters) I suddenly had a phone shoved into my face. (Huffs) Grabbing Billy's wrist as I steady the shaking phone. (Smirks Gleefully) "Fuck it's perfect!"
Jay and Billy- It was very hard for us to contain our excitement as we practically jumped up and started dancing (Smiles Widely) "We know!"
Nick- (Chuckles Lightly) I happen to have watched the whole ordeal and it was hard to miss that Jay, Billy and Aaron are proud Uncles. (Smiles Softly, then Frowns) Getting up from where I am sitting, I walk over to the table and sit down across from Zak as I hold out my phone showing him the text. "Zak...you really need to go see her."
Zak- I didn't pay my brothers much mind as it was normal for them to be overly enthusiastic. (Eyes Widen) It startled me a bit when Nick sat down. (Huffs Softly) I didn't have the chance to even ask about why they were acting like lunatics. (Raises Eyebrow) Nick reaches across the table, phone in hand. (Narrows Eyes) I read over the text. (Shrugs Disinterestedly) "So the kid has my name." I really wasn't in the mood nor interested.
Nick- (Sighs Heavily) I was trying, honestly I was. "Zachary..." Pulling my arm back as I place my phone on the table and reach up rubbing my hands down my face in a rather agitated manner. "I want you to listen to me and listen well." I pause momentarily as I gauge whether or not I have his full attention. "Mara, not only wears the ring you proposed to her with, but she claims to be taken by the man she had fallen deeply in love with. She is also giving the child your name!" Pausing for a moment as I adjust my seating position. "If knowing that doesn't spark a fire within you, you never really deserved such a good woman." The hold I had on my emotions snapped as I suddenly slammed my fists on the table in fury. "She refuses to believe that you had given up on the relationship and is fighting tooth an nail to keep it together." Getting to my feet in a brisk manner as I place my hands down on the table and lean in close. (Growls) "Pull your head out of your ass and go see her!" I stand up and turn suddenly, stomping off to the bunks before I completely lose my shit and start swinging.
Zak- I sat there silently as Nick ripped me apart. (Snarls) Suddenly getting to my feet, I lash out and throw my water bottle as it narrowly misses Jay's head. (Shouts) "FUCK!" I stomp off to my room.
Billy- Aaron and I sit there, practically scared shitless. (Frowns) Getting up from where I'm sitting as I kneel down in front of Jay, checking him over.
Aaron- Shifting slightly, as I slowly stand up. (Huffs) "Jesus, they both lost their shit." I glance toward the bunks rather wearily. "I legit need to go change and am down right scared of having to go to the bunks to get fresh clothes."
Billy- Hearing Aaron state his current issue, it dawned on me that we had legit just seen Zak and Nick at one of their worst moments. (Sighs Heavily) Getting to my feet as I wrap an arm over Aaron's shoulders. "I'll go with ya." As quietly as possible, we head back to the bunks and sift through our respective bags for a fresh set of pants.
Jay- (Shakes Head and Mumbles Quietly) "That is a major understatement!" Zak and Nick practically scared the piss out of us, very literally. I tried to clean up the mess as much as possible, but knew that it was one of those things that Bacon would be paying extra for to get deep cleaned. (Sighs Heavily) After getting calmed down to some degree, we all head to bed early that night. As the saying goes (Whispers) "It gets worse before it gets better." But how much worse will it get?
