CHAPTER SIX

GOOD old Larry from the lab. How long ago had they made their plans for the west coast version of that hit Broadway musical? Long before Beth had known Gavin even existed. If the tickets for the musical hadn’t been so damn expensive, she’d consider calling it off. But she couldn’t do that to Larry, they’d been friends too long.

Beth bashed the steering-wheel with the cuff of her hand as she drove away from Gavin’s house.

She’d never forget the look on Gavin’s face when she’d said no to his offer of dinner on Saturday night. If only she’d said no the night they’d met, they wouldn’t be in this predicament. But then she would never have had the chance to get to know him, and so far she liked what she’d found out about him just fine.

She shook her head. To his credit, Gavin did seem to be trying to venture into a possible relationship with her. And what was it with him about getting her to consider working in the ER as a triage nurse? That was the last place she belonged. Especially as he worked there! Though he did have a point about her being able to earn a lot more

Where the baby was concerned, it was crunch time, and the need to stay on top of things would have to be taken into account in any decisions. And she had to admit she’d gotten a tiny rush of adrenaline and a sense of really being connected with her community when they’d rescued Mrs Harrington. But the lady had already quit bleeding! A little voice in the back of her head suggested that most of the people who came to the ER weren’t actively bleeding either. OK, so maybe she’d think about it.

Beth smiled, and remembered their tender kiss on the hood of her car. How romantic was that? She liked Gavin. She really liked him. Talk about chemistry. Yes, she was sounding dangerously similar to a teenager with a crush, with one exception—she happened to be carrying his baby. He’d given his word to help out with bringing a child into the world, had even arranged for a top-notch doctor to be her OB specialist, but what about personal commitment?

Gavin was obviously making up for lost time with his son, and the boy deserved nothing less, so how would she and a baby fit into the picture? And if they did get involved, would he lose interest in her and move on like her exhusband had? Regardless, Beth would never admit it to him, could hardly admit it to herself, but she’d be counting the days until Saturday. Thank goodness he’d invited her to Patrick’s soccer game on Saturday afternoon as a substitute for dinner.

Rubbing her stomach, feeling a glimmer of hope that things might work out for the best, she turned the corner and headed for home.

Some time around four o’clock on Thursday afternoon, Gavin appeared in the testing lab of the allergy department.
