Chapter 11

When Shawn and Janet arrived, Rachel had already prepared bottles for the boys and placed them in the fridge. She kept herself busy while waiting for their arrival, her nervous energy infecting the boys and making them fussy.

Chance had attempted to calm her down, but knew that completing this adventure would be the only way to do that. She just needed to take that first step towards claiming her life back and realizing that becoming a mother hadn’t erased her adult needs. She was still a vibrant woman; she just needed to be reminded of that fact.

Rachel had opted for jeans and a button down shirt. She had lost most of her baby weight, but most of her pre-pregnancy clothing was still a little too tight to wear comfortably. She promised herself that she would begin to deal with the extra weight first thing tomorrow.

Chance didn’t seem to mind and kept giving her heated stares across the room. After introducing her to the Marshall’s, she took them on a tour of the house, showing them where the babies things were kept, going over the bottle warming directions for a third time, and then giving them a list of emergency numbers for herself, the ambulance and fire department.

Shawn had patiently taken it all in while Janet cooed and played with the tiring babies. It was almost time for their bedtime and Rachel debated about cancelling dinner to put them to sleep. This would be the first time she had ever left the house without them and she was already suffering separation anxiety.

“Rachel, let’s go.”

She nodded and took a huge breath before walking determinedly towards the front door. Chance gave Shawn of nod of thanks and followed her closely, not wanting to give her an opportunity to change her mind.

He helped her into his SUV, fastening her seatbelt, before walking around the vehicle and joining her. “So, take a deep breath.”

Rachel followed his direction and let the air whoosh from her lungs in a giant rush. “I don’t know if I can do this.”

“Sure you can. They’re only a phone call away. Now, what sounds good for dinner?”

After some discussion, they opted for a buffet restaurant that served a little bit of everything. They both ate their fill, and when Rachel glanced at her watch for the tenth time in as many minutes, Chance sighed and reached across the table for her wrist. When she moved to pull away, he tightened his grip, removing her watch quickly and placing it in his shirt pocket.

“Why did you do that?” she asked, rubbing her wrist once he released it.

“Because you can’t seem to relax and that watch is only a reminder of how long you’ve been away from the house.”

Rachel stared at him for a moment before dropping her gaze and continuing to eat. He was right! She could do better than this and she would.

“So, you worked for the FBI?” she offered, wanting anything to take her mind off her babies.

Chance smiled at her and went with it, “Yeah.
