Lizzie let out a sigh and leaned her head against the chair. Why had she started a fight with Michael after he’d done something so nice for her? He hadn’t been in a rush to get to a date, he’d been thinking of her. And she’d wrote him off like they were strangers without ties.

What a mess. Michael had been so sweet. Wiping her tears away, going out of his way to bring her this delicious tea. Thinking of the baby’s well-being. And she’d treated him like she didn’t care. When all she’d wanted was to have him pull her into his arms and tell her everything was going to work out. That, despite the fact she was spending Christmas alone and without her family and her due date just happened to be on Christmas Eve and she was terrified of childbirth it would be okay.

With a sigh she rubbed a hand over her belly, smiling when she felt a little flutter. “Sorry for all the stress,” she said softly. “Your mamma is making a mess of things lately. But, no worries. It’ll all work out. Grandma said so.”

Leaning her head back against the chair, she sipped her tea, letting the warm brew calm her. She talked to her mom every day and although she hadn’t shared her anxieties, her mom had picked up on them and reassured her everything would work out the way it was supposed to. Her mom was a very wise woman and if she said this would work out Lizzie had no choice but to believe her. Even if doubt lingered in the back of her mind. No one knew Michael like she did. And she’d offered up everything that terrified him. Hard to imagine a SEAL being afraid of anything. But, they were human and had fears and anxieties like anyone else. Especially when presented as a surprise like she had done.

Her attitude tonight hadn’t helped her case. Having Michael catch her crying over being alone for the holidays and missing her parents and home hadn’t set well. She didn’t like anyone to see her cry. It wasn’t pretty and made her feel vulnerable. A feeling she wasn’t comfortable with. Listening to her favorite Christmas songs hadn’t helped. It only made her more melancholy. And Michael had caught her during a weak moment.

Lizzie finished the tea and set the cup aside, eyelids heavy. Only a few hours before she had to get up and make the chocolates for the holiday rush. She yawned and settled deeper into her chair. After that, she’d call Michael and apologize for her behavior. And hope he forgave her.
