Chapter 10

Sarah put her bags of groceries into the back of her mini cruiser and slammed the trunk shut. Spaghetti squash with tofu meatballs sounded amazing for dinner tonight. The vine-ripened tomatoes and fresh basil she’d grabbed would make a quick and easy sauce. She’d open a bottle of vino and be all set for the night.

Although she preferred shopping at the local farmer’s market, it was only open on the weekends. Still, it was a sacrifice she’d been willing to make for a fun weekend at the beach. Relaxing on the sand yesterday with Morgan had been just what she’d needed—never mind that Morgan had laughed at her for slathering on SPF 55 sunscreen and bringing the biggest umbrella on the beach.

She drove home, pulling into the driveway of her townhouse. Ivy climbed up the wrought-iron trellis she’d put near the steps, and the day lilies bloomed from the flower bed beside it. She’d love a huge yard someday where she could plant tons of flowers and a vegetable garden, but this suited her for now.

It had been a busy day at work, but she loved all the patients she had. Watching the progress some of her kids had made always left her feeling proud.

Her cell phone buzzed as she was carrying her groceries in, and she set her bags down on the counter. As she pulled her phone from her hobo bag, she was surprised to see Rebecca’s name flash across the screen as a missed call.

“Hey! What’s up?” she said when Rebecca answered. “I’m just carrying groceries in.”

“Hey Sarah, I’m so sorry to be calling like this. I was wondering if you could watch the kids tonight?”

“Oh, sure. I can come over. Is everything okay?”

“Alison’s in labor. Evan left this afternoon with the rest of the team—”

“They left?” Sarah asked, pausing. So much for her plan to call Patrick tonight. But they couldn’t really be going after the missing American woman, could they? It had just been on the news this morning. Certainly things like that required planning and preparation. Maybe the team could deploy quickly, but as for actually carrying out a mission? That had to require time.

Still, it would be too much of a coincidence if they deployed today, wouldn’t it?

“They left this afternoon. You know those guys have no warning when they need to deploy. And Alison’s a few weeks early. I guess she was on her feet a lot today in the ER and went into early labor.”

“Oh no. Hopefully they can stop her labor from progressing. Is she at the hospital now?”

“Never even left,” Rebecca said.

“I guess that’s one advantage of working in the ER. Will they send Evan home?”

“Not for something like this I’m afraid—they can’t turn around the plane carrying the entire SEAL team. I can’t even get a hold of Patrick. I spoke with Commander Mitchell, and he’ll get word to Patrick when they land. It will be up to him as to when he tells Evan though—I mean it could very well turn out to be nothing if they can get Alison’s labor to stop.
