Circle M

“You need to sit down a moment, lad. You’ll wear yourself out pacing back and forth.” Ewan placed a hand on Colin’s shoulder, encouraging him to take a seat. He remained there for a few seconds, then stood again.

“I can’t sit, Uncle Ewan. Not while Sarah is in such pain.”

“She’s doing no worse than your ma or your aunts.” Ian walked to the cabinet where his brother, Angus, always kept whiskey. “How about a drink?”

“It’s noon, Ian,” his wife, Gail, admonished as she passed around cups of coffee.

He cocked a brow at her. “Noon means nothing to me when one of ours is having a baby. Who is for whiskey?” All the men stepped up, taking a glass from the cabinet and holding it out. “Now that’s more like it, lads.” Like Ewan, Ian enjoyed his whiskey. Sometimes more than he should. Ian held up his glass. “Here’s to a new addition to the MacLaren clan.”

Quinn burst through the door as Blaine, Colin, Camden, Brodie, and Ian held the glasses to their lips. “Did I miss anything?”

“Nae, lad. We’re helping Colin relax.” Ian poured one more glass, handing it to Quinn.

As soon as Doc Vickery rode out of town with Blaine, Quinn had found Cam, letting him know about Sarah, while Brodie let Sam know he’d be headed to Circle M. Quinn wanted to ride with them, but someone needed to deliver the supplies. Climbing up on the wagon, he took the trail to the new property as fast as he could and unloaded the supplies, telling Caleb the news. Within a short time, Quinn was on Warrior, riding to the ranch.

Quinn downed the whiskey, studying Colin, who still held his full glass. Placing a hand on his shoulder, he leaned toward him. “Sarah will be fine.”

Colin rolled the glass between his fingers, nodding.

“He’s right, Colin.” Brodie came up beside them. “Doc Vickery won’t let anything happen to her or the baby. Drink up, lad. You’ll be needing it.”

Sarah’s agonized cry had Colin’s head shooting up, strong hands holding him back when he tried to dash up the stairs. “Nae. You can’t go up there.” Brodie’s calm voice did little to soothe his cousin. “Take a breath and relax. It could be a long day.”

Colin took a deep breath, raking a hand through his hair as he lowered himself to a chair. “I don’t know what I’ll do if…”

Quinn’s gaze locked on Emma sitting at the dining table with Jinny and his mother. She glanced up, then looked away, not holding his stare. Hearing the anguish in Colin’s voice, he crouched in front of his cousin.

“You must believe, Colin. You will not lose her.” Quinn set his empty glass down. “Do you remember when your twin sisters, Chrissy and Alana, were born? You, Brodie, and me were about sixteen and thought Aunt Kyla was going to die.” Quinn continued when Colin nodded. “And your da? He stood with his brothers, calm as you please, even through your ma’s screams. A few hours later, the doctor yelled for your da.
