TWELVE

It wasn’t often that Noah wasn’t sure how things had reached a certain point, but this was one of those moments. He was driving the Bentley, pushing the car for everything it had while still keeping it in his own lane, and instead of having Sarah beside him in the passenger seat, she was in the backseat between Jenny and Molly. Wally was riding shotgun, looking nervously over the seat from time to time, then turning to look back at the road ahead.

“Did you call ahead to let the hospital know you’re coming?” he asked Noah for the fourth time.

“Yes. I made that call as soon as I knew it was time, while Sarah was in the shower.”

“And the doctor, did you get hold of the doctor?”

“The doctor works at the hospital, and will be notified. She’ll be there by the time we arrive, I’m sure.”

“And you got Sarah’s bag, right? It’s got all the stuff for the baby in it, besides her own clothes and stuff.”

“It’s in the trunk,” Noah said.

“Boot,” Wally said. “We’re in England, so it’s the boot.”

“It’s there, whatever you call it.”

Wally fell silent again for a couple of moments, then he suddenly glanced over the seat at Sarah’s sweating face and turned back to Noah again.

“You did call the hospital, right? They know we’re coming?”

“They know,” Noah said. “Everything is under control, Wally.”

“I know, I know,” Wally said, “I just can’t help being a worrywart. You know, it’s almost like I’m going to be a grandpa. And speaking of that, have you let Allison know the baby is coming?”

“I don’t have a way to contact her,” Noah said, “and under the current circumstances, there’s no way she could get here. Hopefully things will smooth over and she will be able to come and spend some time with us and the baby before too long, but I can’t risk compromising the situation just to tell her my child is being born.”

“She’ll never forgive you,” Wally said. “Okay, that’s an exaggeration, she’ll forgive you, but it might take a year or two. Noah, you have to find some way to let her know. She rewrote a dozen different rules for you guys, for you and Sarah. Did you know that in the original rules, the ones copied off the KGB, any female agent who got pregnant was required to sign away all rights to the child, or be terminated after it was born? Allison cared so much about you and Sarah that she ripped out that rule when you started talking about getting married. And we’re not even going to talk about how many rules she had to cut out to let that happen.”

Noah glanced at him, then turned his eyes back to the road. “I don’t have any way to contact her directly,” Noah said. “However, Catherine Potts does. Be quiet while I make a phone call.”

He took out his phone and punched the speed dial icon for Catherine Potts, an image of a little old lady holding a flower.
