Dana followed Trevor down the hall. Her mind raced as she fought to gain control of both her body and her thought processes. The sensual fog was thick, but clearing quickly. She wasn't sure if she was thrilled or crushed by the interruption. Based on the lethargy still tugging at her and the heat radiating from every part of her, she had been ready to make love with Trevor. Talk about a mistake. But knowing he was wrong for her and having the strength to resist him were two very different things.

Let it go, she told herself. Emergency first, personal life second.

They got into the elevator and headed up two floors. Trevor was oddly silent. Dana had been waiting for him to start issuing instructions, but when he continued to say nothing, she turned to Bill.

"Has anyone called for an ambulance?" she asked.

"Yes, but with the storm it's going to take them a while to get here."

She nodded. "All right. After we get to Shelby's room, you find someone in housekeeping. We'll need sheets and towels. Have room service send up some basins along with boiling water. Oh, and contact the front desk. The hotel should have a decent first-aid kit. We'll need that, too."

Bill nodded frantically. "She's going to be all right isn't she?"

"Sure."

The elevator doors opened and they hurried to Shelly's room. Several people from their seminar stood in the hallway. Bill quickly assigned tasks so that the supplies would be delivered more quickly. Trevor pushed past them and hurried inside. Dana was on his heels.

Shelly lay curled in the center of one of the two double beds. Her long dark hair was tangled, her face pale and sweaty. She clutched her belly.

"They found you," she gasped, her voice laced with pain. "I'm really glad."

Trevor knelt beside her and touched her face, then took her pulse. "Tell us what's happening."

"My water broke a couple of hours ago." Shelly managed a slight smile. "I made a really big mess in the restaurant. The contractions have been coming for a couple of days now. I called my doctor yesterday and he said to go home and stay off my feet."

Trevor checked her eyes, then placed his hand on her stomach. "Why didn't you listen?"

"There was only one day to go. I had a friend who went through this type of thing for nearly a week. I didn't think it was any big deal."

"Guess you were wrong," he said lightly. "How far apart are the contractions now?"

"About two minutes and they really—" She inhaled sharply, then bit down on her knuckles. A moan escaped her.

Dana moved to her side. "Screaming is not such a bad thing, if you feel it will help. I don't think you have the lung power to do any serious damage to the windows."

Shelly nodded, but didn't speak. It was several more seconds until the contraction ended. She gasped, trying to catch her breath.

"Nearly a minute long," Trevor said. "Looks like you're going to have your baby. Give us a second, Shelly.
