“Yes. But she already has a child—a girl. You would know how to raise a boy just right.”

Lonnie had never felt so humbled in his life. The woman had gone through a trying birth, she believed she might be dying and she was talking about him being a good father! Didn’t she understand that he didn’t know anything about being a daddy? He barely remembered his own father. And, Carlos, the man who’d raised him, had seven children of his own. He hadn’t had time to give Lonnie, or his other children, special one on one attention. He’d been too busy trying to keep them all fed and clothed.

Lonnie looked at her and the baby and tried to keep the fear he was feeling away from his smile. “I’m deeply flattered, Katherine. And I’d be honored—really honored—to raise your little one. And I would—if need be. But you’re going to be fine. Trust me.”

Glancing down, he could see the blood had stopped seeping, so he carefully lifted his hand. After a few long minutes passed, it appeared the flow had been stemmed completely.

“See,” he announced with smug joy. “The bleeding has stopped.”

Doubt filled her eyes. “Really?”

Still smiling, Lonnie nodded and eased gently up from the side of the bed. “Really. Like I told you, it was probably just a little tear. A few stitches and you’ll be right as rain.”

He went to the door and with his hand resting on the knob he paused to look back at her. “I’ll be back in a few minutes, okay?”

She gave him a grateful little smile. “I’m not going anywhere.”
