The elevator dings open and through the hospital room's open blinds, I see Walker emerge from the lift. His thick brows are furrowed over darkened eyes and now he's prowling down the hospital's short hallway.

Fuck, that walk of his.

I grip the bed railing and brace myself.

It’s the morning after our dinner at Le Sous-Sol. Sleep didn’t come easily last night. When Walker dropped me off on my doorstep, it took everything in me not to nuzzle against his chest and pull him into my room and tangle my body around his like a baby kinkajou. I think my brain is under invasion by horny-making pregnancy hormones because all I wanted was to get my hands on the man and do dirty, dirty things to his body.

But I realize a little distance would be good for us. Now that I’m finally pregnant, I know it’s best to give my friend some space so that he can fall back into the rhythm of his old life and I can discover a new rhythm for this baby and me.

I decided that I’d show up to continue my project at his cabin but after work I wouldn’t linger. I’d spend my nights reading pregnancy books and listening to podcasts for single mothers instead of showing up at his house needy for attention. I’d put my focus on me and my child. I’d submerge myself in this new life that I’m building, and eventually, my feelings for Walker would fade away.

Less than 24 hours later, fate has pissed all over my plans.

Now he’s barreling down the hallway like a steamroller. I have nowhere to run and from the hammering of my heart, it’s abundantly clear that I’m not equipped to deal with seeing Walker so soon.

A moment later, he bursts into the room.

"There he is!" Cannon glances up and greets his brother with a grin.

A beaming Alexia snuggles their tiny, gurgling bundle of pink to her chest. "It's Uncle Walker," she mumbles into the newborn's ear. "Say hi to Uncle Walker."

My friend went into labor in the middle of the night. She and Cannon didn't start making calls until Baby Diana had made her grand entrance into the world.

Now, family and friends are beginning to trickle in to make their introductions to the Kingston family's latest bundle of joy. The proud grandma and grandpa are snuggled in each other's arms as they hover over the bed, cooing sweet words about the baby.

Iris and Jude just rushed in after finishing up some football business in Iowa this morning.

Lexi’s parents are on the road as we speak.

Jessa will come by with Callie after breakfast.

And Walker? He’s here.

The man doesn’t acknowledge anyone in the room. His eyes are transfixed to his newborn niece. He’s carrying a big basket of fresh fruit. He sets it down on a table. He accepts a squirt of hand sanitizer from his excited brother and thoroughly rubs his big palms together.

He takes a tentative step closer to the bed and I shift in my seat, causing my plastic chair to let out a groan.
