“Oh…” I thought back to when my last period had been “Um, I can’t honestly remember I’ve had a lot on my plate lately, and I haven’t kept up with it like I should”

“I’nancy test, but I think it’s safe to say that you’re nant”

All the air rushed fro that to be his diagnosis, but now that those words were suddenly a glaring neon light, I felt stupid for not having thought of itsuspect—when they had life growing inside of them?

I chanced a glance at Hawk to deterhost, and the look in his eyes was shell-shocked “You…” He cleared his throat “You’re sure?”

Doc shrugged “I can’t say one hundred percent for sure until we do the test, but nant She will have to have an ultrasound to deteret an accurate due date, but I would say Gracie is between eight and nine weeks at the least”

Hawk turned away, effectively blocking out the doctor and rim smile, promised Wendy would be in to take care of me, and then made a quick exit I stared at Hawk’s back, unsure of what to say or do Hell, I was just as shocked as he was

Wendy opening the door less than aoff Hawk, and I was all too happy to take the cup she offered and go into the bathroo the little cup in the cubby so the nurse could use it for the pregnancy test, I washed my hands but didn’t leave the bathroo at myself in the mirror

My face was just as pale as Hawk’s, but h, I didn’t know Excitenant? Not particularly I had so much on oing to have twice asto et in my way a whole heck of a lot

But I wasn’t particularly unhappy about it either

My hands covered my lower stomach where Doc had pressed and made me so uncomfortable earlier Was there really a baby in there? A part of Hawk andto take the world by storm as soon as he or she t

ook their first breath? Did I want there to be?

Yes The answer floated through me without hesitation Yes, I wanted there to be a baby I wanted this part of theinside of me

With that thought, I opened the bathroom door and went back to the exam room where I’d left Hawk As I closed the door behind lad to see that most of his paleness had faded “You okay?”

I shrugged “I was about to ask you that”

“Why wouldn’t I be okay?” he asked with a frown “You said yes to nant I’ht now”
