CHAPTER EIGHT

The Third Wedding

THE baby wedding, the gang was calling it. Celine was expecting her first and Lucy was pregnant, too, which was why she was getting married in a hurry.

‘It’s not a shotgun wedding,’ she had insisted. ‘Tony and I love each other to bits. We just couldn’t keep our hands off each other and…well, never mind about that. Tony’s thrilled about becoming a father, can’t get it legal fast enough, and his family wants to put on the wedding at their vineyard in the Hunter Valley, so we don’t have to worry about finding a decent reception place in Sydney at such short notice.’

Tammy was happy for Lucy and didn’t want to steal her thunder by revealing her own pregnancy. She was still coming to terms with it herself.

All she could think of was her system must have rejected the effect of the pill on that last day when she’d vomited her heart out.

Becoming a single mother would not have been her choice, not for herself nor the child, but terminating the pregnancy was not an option she could consider. She loved babies and would love her own, all the more because she couldn’t imagine having anyone else to love. Sometime after Lucy’s wedding, she would tell her friends, knowing they would be caring and supportive once they’d vented their feelings on what she should do about Fletcher.

To her mind, there was nothing to be done.

In the four months since they had parted at Mascot Airport, he had not contacted her and she had not contacted him. She’d told the gang that her time with him on Lord Howe
