Chapter 11

Logan peeked into Lily’s room. Like he suspected, Hazel was in Lily’s bed with her tiny body plastered against Lily’s back. They were both sleeping and he moved silently into the room and sat down gingerly on the side of the bed.

Lily was sleeping on her side and he reached out and smoothed a strand of her dark hair away from her face. She didn’t move and after a moment he placed his hand on her belly and rubbed softly.

He studied her face carefully. She looked a bit tired and he supposed she was. They had been at the hospital for nearly four hours while they waited to see if the false labour would turn into actual labour. They had monitored the baby’s heartbeat carefully and he had been thrilled when they had done an ultrasound just to be on the safe side. Lily hadn’t asked him to leave while they did the ultrasound and he, with Hazel in his arms, had watched eagerly as the image of the baby came on the screen.

He had urged Lily to lie down when they got home and, rubbing her back, she had quickly agreed. It hadn’t been ten minutes before Hazel had disappeared from the living room and he wasn’t surprised to find her with Lily.

He continued to rub her belly and a small smile crossed his face when the baby kicked lightly. He leaned down and placed a soft kiss on her belly through her t-shirt. He loved touching her belly, loved feeling the baby kicking and moving, and he felt a moment of bitterness towards Erin for taking this joy away from him.

Lily twitched and he pulled his hand back guiltily. He needed to leave before she woke up and saw him sitting here rubbing her belly like a weirdo. He was already being too familiar with her, and if he wasn’t careful she would quit on him. She might need the money but she didn’t need her employer being all handsy with her. He needed to rein it in and control his need for her. It was his problem, not hers, that all he had to do was look at her now and he would get an erection. The poor woman was going to give birth any day and all he could think about was coaxing her into his bed.

He snorted softly and Lily’s eyes popped open. She stared sleepily at him. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.” He said quickly. “I was just coming in to get Hazel. She snuck in here.”

She twisted her head to look behind her. “Leave her. Her body heat feels good on my back.”

He patted her leg gingerly. “How do you feel?”

“Good. No more cramps and my headache is gone.”

“I’m glad. Are you hungry?”

“A little.” She stretched as Hazel stirred behind her.

The little girl sat up, her blonde hair sticking up everywhere and pillow creases on her face. She blinked and then yawned hugely. “Hi, daddy.”

“Hi honey. Are you hungry?”

“Yep.”

“Why don’t you and Lily rest for a little longer and I’ll make us something to eat.
