Not your typical baby mama

"Madam, we're here", the driver announced with a slight turn of his head looking behind at his boss.

Victoria sighed. She hardly got a shut eye dreading this very moment. She was meeting her girlfriends at the golf club and she really wished she could get through the day and skip this part altogether. But she had to, she had to face that vixen of a friend called Kris.

Just why did she talk big about finding Zach a wife? She should have found out his preference first. Now she had practically shot herself in the foot.

"Why? Why? Why?" she whined while hitting her head against the car window.

"Madam!" The driver grew worried when he saw this. Could she be experiencing after-effects from last week's incident? "I'll take you to the hospital", he started the car.

"No, Raymond. I'm", she sighed. "I'm fine. I am Victoria Frost. I've dealt with much worse than this. I'll be fine! This is nothing. I can do this! I can do this! Let's go!!!"

"…"

She was only meeting her friends for golf, why did she sound like she was prepping herself for battle? Not knowing the man's thoughts, Victoria stepped out of the car before she could change her mind.

"Nope! I'm going home", she turned back and slid back in.

"Torrie? Torrie is that you?"

Victoria closed her eyes in grimace and suppressed a frustrated scream. She had only got half of herself inside until she heard the voice of the person she was dreading to meet.

"You're not leaving, are you?" Kris tried not to laugh at the awkward position her friend was in. The said person quickly got out and forced a laugh.

"How absurd! I was actually getting out! Why would I leave when I just got here?" she slammed the door a little too hard, taking out her frustration on the current situation, on it. She smiled at Kris but it never reached her eyes.

Raymond: "…"

Kris sauntered over seeming to be in a good mood before hooking her arm around Victoria's. She acted oblivious to Victoria's grieved expression. She was akin to a lamb being dragged to a slaughter house. The two finally caught up with their friends who expressed their concern for Victoria. They had deliberately not visited her knowing she would need space. The five took three golf carts with Kris insisting to share with Victoria.

When they arrived at their designated spot, they set up before taking turns to swing and hit golf balls. Kris was first and made a pretty good hit. The other four cheered for her before Rebecca went up next.

"So, what's going to happen now?" Adelaide looked at Victoria.

"With what?" she responded with raised brows.

"You know, with Zach", Adelaide added.

They turned and watched Rebecca make a hit, it was more impressive than Kris. The other four applauded. She was the best at golf among them but she never bragged or let her friends feel they were below her. Stephanie went up next and set up her ball and practiced her swing.

"Nothing is going to happen", Victoria said with a shrug.

"Well, you were looking forward to finding him a wife and having beautiful and brilliant grandkids", Kris kindly reminded.

She may have sounded worried but Victoria could detect the mockery in her tone. Stephanie rolled her shoulders back to relax. She could hear everything but she pretended not to. They all hated being caught up between Kris and Victoria's drama.

"And that's my fault, for not finding out what my son's preferences are." There was sincerity in her tone. She did regret her rash decisions, had she known, she would not have bothered with him.

"That's why I say leave these matters to the kids. Look at how well my Logan turned out", Kris said.

Victoria suppressed her annoyance with a sigh as she watched Stephanie take a swing. It was also an impressive shot. The other four clapped for her. It was now Victoria's turn. She walked over to set up her ball.

"But it's not a big deal. Zach will still find his partner and who knows what the future holds? They might adopt some adorable grandkids for you. I have a friend who is obsessed with her adopted grandson. She reminds me of you Torrie, the way she spoils her grandchild. I'm sure you'll be a great grandmother Torrie", Adelaide spoke with all sincerity.

Victoria smiled at that. If there was anything to appreciate about Adelaide's bluntness, it's her honest moments. She had no clue how comforting her words were to Victoria in that moment. The woman relaxed her shoulders in readiness to take the shot.

"But it's nothing compared to what she dreamt about. Think of all the effort she put into getting her son a wife and imagine how shocked she was to the point of collapsing. I'm not against adopted kids but there's something about having a child who has your blood coursing through their veins. You'll be able to proudly say 'what I made, made that'. Adelaide, don't say things that will upset Victoria", Kris scolded.

"Don't worry Addie, I'm not upset", Victoria offered a kind smile. If she was upset, it was because of the nonsense Kris was spouting.

"Then surely, you're embarrassed", Kris added. Her face was pulled into a frown like she was worried about Victoria.

"It's about to go down", Rebecca whispered towards Stephanie who hummed in agreement.

"I'm not embarrassed", Victoria responded through gritted teeth. She was beginning to get annoyed with Kris.

"I'm sure you are. Why else were you trying to leave after arriving? It can't be because you were afraid to face us."

"I told you. I was just getting out."

"Kris, that's enough", Stephanie stepped in seeing the two women getting red from fury.

Kris, however, had turned a deaf ear to the warning. She was adamant in getting Victoria to admit to being embarrassed by the whole situation. Having admitted that meant she would be admitting she was embarrassed by her great son, Zach. Sue her, but it would be a small victory for Kris.

"No, I caught you trying to get back in the car after getting out. If that wasn't avoiding us, then what were you doing?"

Swoosh!

Victoria swung her club from annoyance and watched the ball fly into the distance. The swing was so strong and so sudden it caught the attention of all five. As they watched the ball fly, their faces quickly turned into horror when they saw where it would land.

All five of them gasped at the same time.
