Chapter 16

It surprised Garrett when Bree wrapped her arms around his neck instead of immediately pushing him away. She never liked public displays of affection, but right now, he didn’t care. Something rose in him when he watched her defend him. He’d spent the last few weeks going through the motions, thinking there wasn’t any hope for them. And now, even though he dreaded the thought of telling everyone about the baby, he was kind of happy about it.

“Gare,” she smiled against him, and gently leaned back.

He wasn’t letting go this time. His hands gripped her sides.

“We’re in the middle of a parking lot,” she whispered as if he didn’t know.

Before going in, they were both nervous about who would see them walking into the clinic together. Now, here they were, right out front of the building. “Does it matter?”

“Yes, it matters.” Bree tilted her head to the side, the small dimple on her cheek appeared. “You know I don’t like …”

He laughed and pressed his forehead against hers. “Who cares what they think?”

“I do.” She fluttered her eyelashes, her hand flat on his chest as if she thought about pushing him away.

He smiled at this, despite the rude doctor from inside, “You know I’d never abandon you and Bailey and the new baby.”

Bree bit her bottom lip and glanced down at her hand resting on him, “How can you be happy about this?”

“I mean, I’m nervous. I know it’ll be rough, but we can do it. Together.”

“When do either of us have time for another baby?”

“We’ll make it work. The baby can go to daycare with Bailey. Football will be over when it’s born.”

“How are we going to tell everyone?”

“We don’t have to.”

She narrowed her chocolate eyes up at him. The wind picked up, her hair blew in the breeze. “It’s kind of going to be hard to hide.”

“What about my idea? We get married then we tell.” He hoped he’d get some kind of positive response from that.

“I don’t …”

He groaned and bent at the knees, making himself eye level with her. “You want to marry me, you said so.”

“Gare.” This time, she did push away and stepped back. He hated the emptiness he felt when she left his arms, but he knew that he needed to let it go for now.
