“Hello, Andie, I’m Dr. Green. I understand you originally met with Dr. Shooster?” A beautiful woman with dark silky hair and the kindest brown eyes Andie had ever seen walked into the exam room. She had a crooked smile that immediately put Andie at ease.

“Yes. He was Uncle Wally’s doctor, so I went to him, because his was the only name I recognized. And he sent me to you.”

The woman exuded calm and confidence, and she felt a great well of gratitude for Dr. Shooster. Sweet as the old coot had been, Andie was blissfully grateful that it was going to be this competent and professional woman guiding her through this ordeal rather than a man who looked so ancient she felt compelled to tell him to sit down the first time she visited his office.

“I’m so very glad he did. He was the doctor who delivered me, you know.” Her smile warmed with the memory, and her affection for the other doctor was evident. “Doc Shooster is one of my very favorite people. He even wrote my letter of recommendation when I went to med school.” As she spoke, she didn’t scroll through her electronics or riffle through papers. She gave them her attention and made eye contact. The sense they had her undivided attention was so reassuring that Andie felt a huge weight lift from her shoulders.

Luke actually flushed in pleasure and met Andie’s eyes. The heat in her face told Andie she looked just as giddy and excited as he did. Luke took her hand in his and gave it a squeeze. She felt her blush deepen. This is going to work.

“My name’s Luke by the way. This is… well, hell, you already know who she is. I’m sorry. I’m going to stop talking now.” Luke backed into a stirrup, turned the color of a tomato when he recognized it, and Andie fell just a little bit in love at his muttered “Oh geez.”

Dr. Green sent her a coconspirator’s smile, and Andie decided she loved her just a little too. The doctor finally looked at the tablet in her hands, scrolled for a few minutes, and said, “Okay, it looks like you’re about fourteen weeks along, and all your vitals look normal. Go ahead and lie back. Let’s start by checking the heartbeat.”

Andie lay back and managed not to smirk at the way Luke fluttered around her. As though lying down was magically a difficult task now. She could do nothing to stop the eye roll. Both the
