An hour later, Luke arrived at the hospital and went up the elevators to the maternity floor without asking for permission. They’d have to throw him out to keep him from his wife. He walked into the room, to find Emily crying. “Baby,” he said alarmed. “What’s wrong? Are you okay? Is the baby okay?”

Emily held out her arms begging for a hug. “No, nothing like that,” she snuffled. “I got scared.”

Luke wrapped his arms around Emily as best he could. “What the hell happened?”

She buried her head in his arms. “Evan showed up here.”

“Evan,” said Luke shocked. “What the hell was he doing here?”

“He works here, he said, doing community service. He, he brought me breakfast.”

What the fuck? Evan? Here? His hands formed a tight knot in Emily’s hair. That was it. He was taking his wife home, doctor or no doctor.

Emily was crying harder now, Luke apparently being no comfort to her.

“He, he said he was going to sue us for getting injured on your property, bankrupt us.”

Luke scoffed. “Sweetie, is that what frightened you?” He lifted her head with his fingers and looked into her blue eyes. “Gee,” he said with a smile, trying to get her to smile back, “we have bigger problems than that. He’ll have to get in line if he wants to do some damage.”

Emily swallowed hard. “He thinks that when you get deported, he and I will get back together.”

“Baby, baby,” said Luke, clutching her tightly. “I’m never going to leave you. I can’t. I love you too damn much. I don’t care what the government does or what happens down the road. We’ll be together.”

“I know it,” she said, drawing a deep, ragged breath to control her tears. “It’s just that he’s crazy and I don’t know what he’ll do next.”

Luke wanted to find that jerk and pound him into the ground for upsetting his wife. Of course, that would get Luke arrested and make things worse for him and Emily, but the satisfaction of seeing that man’s face bleed was almost worth it. “I won’t leave you again despite what the hospital says. They’ll have to get security to drag me out of here.”

As if to underscore that Luke wasn’t supposed to be here this early in the morning, Evelyn swept into the room and then stopped short. She looked Luke up and down.

“This is my husband, Luke,” said Emily nervously.

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Wade,” said Evelyn, “but you’re a little early for visiting hours.”

“Who do I make a complaint to?” said Luke.

“Complaint?” said Evelyn.

“Yes, my wife’s ex was in here this morning and upset her. There’s a restraining order against him.”

“What happened?”

“Just that,” said Luke.

“He’s an orderly here at the hospital,” said Emily.

“What’s his name?” said Evelyn.

“Evan Waters,” replied Luke. His jaw clenched when he said the name.

“Evan, yeah I’ve seen him around,” said Evelyn. “He doesn’t seem like a bad guy.”

“Believe me, you don’t know him. He caused a lot of trouble for my wife and was arrested for it.
