Kane didn’t consider himself psychic or anything, but he didn’t need to be a mind reader to know something was bothering Hailey. She’d gotten up on Monday and told him she needed to go home instead of spending the night again. She hadn’t texted him at all the rest of the day or so far today, even though she’d promised to let him know as soon as she made an appointment with an ob-gyn. He’d said something wrong, he reflected, but he wasn’t sure what. It had to have been when he’d told her he wasn’t going anywhere. He wracked his brain trying to recall anything he’d said that might have been misconstrued, but nothing came to mind. He wanted to be a good father. He would provide for her and the baby even if things didn’t work out—he paused. Was that it? The fact that he’d been open about the fact that things might not work out between them? But she knew that, right? They were still figuring things out. That was their plan. So what had changed?

Every time you touch me my insides get a little jiggly and I want to throw myself in your arms and beg you to love me…but I’m so scared.

He groaned aloud as her words filtered through his brain.

I want to throw myself in your arms and beg you to love me…

Yup, he’d fucked up. How the hell had he missed that? He was so pissed at himself he wanted to throw a few punches. Shit. The worst part was he was clueless how to fix this. Impulsively, he picked up the phone and called Sergei.

“Hey, man.” Sergei sounded out of breath.

“Am I interrupting something?”

Sergei laughed. “Yeah—our workout. My fiancée is some kind of training expert and seems to get off on kicking my ass at the gym.”

“It’s good for you.”

“How about you get your ass down here and let her kick it around for a while, and then talk to me?”

Kane sighed. “I’m kicking my own ass right now. You have a minute?”

“Sure.”

Kane told him what happened. “If she wasn’t pregnant, I’d buy her flowers or something, take her somewhere romantic for dinner and fuck her into oblivion tonight, but I don’t know if that’s the right thing in this situation.”

“Go up to the arena to visit,” Sergei said firmly. “Just show up. Kiss her in front of everybody so she knows you’re not hiding your relationship. Buy her a little present—nothing ridiculous, but a candy she likes or that book she’s been talking about.”

“Book?”

Sergei made a strangled sound. “Dude. Do you talk to her about anything? She’s been going on about the new book by that professor of hers… Sebastian somebody? He’s this law genius at Harvard and she worships him professionally. He’s like ninety-eight or something, a legend in the legal field.”

Kane grimaced. She’d mentioned it once and he’d all but changed the subject since law wasn’t his thing. Damn. He needed to do better. She wasn’t even four months pregnant and he was already screwing up right and left.
