She was cold. Why? Where had all the warmth gone?

Megan rooted across the bed, unconsciously looking for that living wall of heat, which had sheltered her so sweetly as she slept. Slowly, she awoke feeling confused and alone.

Where was she? And Phoebe! Bolting upright, the sheets pooled around her waist, making her aware that she was naked. She never slept in the nude. Fear and confusion washed through her mind until she heard the muffled murmur of a familiar voice coming through the door. Seamus Fitzhugh. Her hand immediately went to her throat, testing for soreness there and finding it. The memories of the time the two of them had spent in this bed, starting in the middle of the night and at least twice more after that. A tentative touch, a gentle kiss and then the passion would ignite again.

What had she been thinking? Her conscience forced her to give the honest answer to that question: she’d been thinking how right it had felt to welcome Seamus into her arms and into her body. Making love with him had been…perfect.

And what a terrifying thought that was! Before she could decide how to react, the bedroom door quietly swung open revealing her lover with her daughter cuddled in his arms.

“I was just going to wake you. Phoebe’s finally decided I’m not the one she needs right now.”

As he approached the bed, Megan tugged the sheet back up to cover herself, although it was a bit late for that, especially considering Seamus’s excellent night vision. She gave up and held out her arms for Phoebe. The sweet baby smell immediately soothed her.

“I’ll scrounge us some breakfast. Take your time, though.”

He started to lean toward her, but then backed away when she flinched. Guilt washed over her. He’d been nothing but considerate, and here she was treating him so badly. Although he was already on the wrong side of the door, she knew he could hear her, anyway.

“Seamus, I’m sorry. I’m not used to…well, any of this. I’ve never slept through the day with anyone, not even Banan. I’m not sure how to act.”

His voice was muffled by the door, but she suspected he was smiling. “Me, either, if that’s any comfort.”

Amazingly, it was. For the moment, she concentrated on nursing her daughter, losing herself in the familiar routine. She whispered to Phoebe, telling her the sorts of things that mothers had been saying to their younglings forever. That Phoebe was pretty, that she was loved, that everything was going to be all right.

She could only hope that last part was true.
