Chapter Seven

Natalie spent almost twenty-four hours in labour. When the baby came, she was exhausted. Jason sobbed like a baby himself when he held the new life in his arms. They named the baby Jason Marshall, and Marshall was as proud as the new father was.

Natalie’s parents had arrived from Quebec City, and Marshall and Angelo decided to take their leave. They were both exhausted and wanted to give some time to Natalie’s family, who were extremely proud grandparents.

When Marshall went in the room to kiss Natalie goodbye, she held onto his hand tightly and whispered in French for him to be careful. “Soyez prudent.”

“Je promets,” he reassured her. Outside, the sun was beginning to set. Angelo took his hand in his as they walked out of the hospital. “Tired?”

Marshall nodded. “He’s a beautiful baby.” “Um, yes he is. Jason and Natalie are blessed.” “I’m blessed,” Marshall said, pulling Angelo close

as they got to the car. He kissed him softly on the mouth. “I’m so blessed to be loved by you. I’m going to tell you that everyday the rest of your life.” “Okay.” He smiled. “You want me to drive?” Marshall nodded, handing him the keys. He suddenly felt exhausted and the reprieve they’d had from the worry over Hal was over.

As he sat with his head back against the headrest in the passenger’s seat, he closed his eyes. The car rolled out of the hospital parking lot and an image of Hal danced in his head. “Natalie,” he said aloud, his eyes flying open. He reached over and gripped Angelo’s forearm.

“What is it?” Angelo asked as he came to a stop at a red light.

“What if he goes after Nat? What if he hurts the baby? She was my defence lawyer and--”

“I don’t think even Hal would hurt a baby.”

“Yes, he would. He doesn’t care.”

“Jason is with her. I’m sure she’s aware of the danger.”

Marshall sighed. “I never thought about her at all. All I could think about was you and--”

“Nat would understand that. Now, relax. You’re tired and hungry. Let’s go back to the hotel. I’m still booked until tomorrow. Do you want to order in?”

Marshall nodded and smiled. “I want to eat and make love, not necessarily in that order.”

“Are you sure you have the energy for that?”

“Um,” he nodded. “Let’s get in the bathtub together. I want to kiss you all over.”

Angelo grinned. “Okay. I better drive faster.”

* * * * Hal moved the telescope in front of the window and positioned it so that he could look directly into the window of Angelo Farelli’s room. It looked like his pigeons had taken a little trip, but they’d be back. The hotel clerk had been very informative when he’d called to leave an urgent message for Angelo Farelli. It seemed that the bitch lawyer, who’d made it look so bad for him at the trial, was in labour. Like good little Samaritans, Marshall and his hunky coffee baron had sped her off to the hospital where the cow gave birth.
