“Have you talked to Adam about Megan yet?”

Rosie’s question was full of desperation, but Rachel had to be honest and up front with her. She had talked to Adam, and as far as she knew, Megan had a spot guaranteed on the squad. Not because Adam didn’t take Rosie’s wishes into consideration, but because Megan was needed and would make a great addition to the team—Adam’s words, not hers. She barely knew Megan, except for the fact that she had been right there alongside Leah after the wreck, when she herself couldn’t be.

“Rosie,” Rachel said, taking hold of her hand and leading her into the back room filled with mixers and fresh ingredients for round number three of baking all day. Finding an empty spot along the counter, Rachel nestled herself right up there. “The department needs volunteers.”

Rosie’s eyes clouded with realization. Tears dared to fall, but remained welled along the bottoms of Rosie’s eyes. “I know that. I just...”

Reassurance was all Rachel could afford to give Rosie, something that she needed to hear. It wasn’t a promise, because Rachel couldn’t make promises that had no guarantee to be kept, but she knew that Adam would do his best to keep the whole team safe. He would do whatever it took to make sure everyone came home safe each and every night. “Megan will do just fine,” she finally said, after struggling to find the right words. “She’s a damned good paramedic, and I know she’ll fit right in with the others on the squad. They all love her.”

“I know they do,” Rosie said, drying the tears that had escaped with the top of her apron. It pained Rachel to see Rosie so upset, but she knew that everything would be okay. The department needed volunteers. Adam needed volunteers. It would all work out. “It’s just the thought of something happening to her. I...”

“From what I see and hear, there is no better team than the one we have here in the department,” Rachel said, adding emphasis on no better team. She wasn’t lying. She had never seen departments, all departments from law enforcement, medics, and fire, come together and love another like family. It was hard to find, and being from the city, she could vouch for Cedar Valley’s willingness to reach out and support one another. That kind of thing didn’t happen much in the city—not that she had any personal affiliation with them. You could tell a close knit service when you saw one. “She’s in good hands.”

Rachel looked forward to the day Adam wouldn’t have to pull so many hours. He was getting overwhelmed with not being at home with her and the kids. He felt he was missing out on more than the average father, and it disappointed him. She could see it on his face every time she mentioned what Tyler and Ava had done together once home for the day. Normal conversations weren’t normal anymore. They were becoming a slap in his face, and she couldn’t help but wish for something to change.
