Chapter 14

Claudia opened her eyes to find Brody and Angela standing over her. Brody had a worried look on his face as he knelt down next to her. She must have scared him.

“Baby, are you okay?”

She nodded.

A beautiful, blonde-haired woman approached them with a glass of water. “Here,” she said. “She should drink this.”

“Thank you, Mona,” Angela said.

Claudia tried to sit up, but Brody put his hand on her shoulder. “Don’t get up too fast. Just rest.”

“I’m good. I just got overheated, and I didn’t expect you to—” She stopped and looked around at all the faces watching her every move. “Can I have that water?”

“Sure,” Mona said. “Do you mind if I take your pulse?”

“Huh?” Malibu Barbie wants to take my vitals?

“Mona is studying to be a doctor,” Angela said. “A gynecologist.”

Of course she is.

“I think that’s a good idea, Mona,” Brody said. “Claudia has high blood pressure.”

Mona knelt down next to Brody and took Claudia’s pulse. “Do you feel any pain? Any cramping?”

Claudia shook her head. “I was hot, but I’m fine now.”

“How far along are you?”

Claudia looked up at Gavin who watched in horror as Mona asked questions about the pregnancy. He must have been put off by the fact that his girlfriend was tending to the housekeeper who was having his baby.

“About twenty weeks,” she said.

Angela looked at Brody. “How long have you been together?”

“We’ve been together a while,” Brody said. “We just didn’t make it public.”

“Claudia, your pulse is fine, but I recommend you see your own doctor. I could call and explain what happened if you’d like?”

“Um, thanks, but that won’t be necessary. I should have known better than to be out in the heat.” Claudia sat up. “Can you take me home?” She stared at Brody. “I just need to rest.”

“Of course,” he said.

“Make sure she gets plenty of fluids.” Mona smiled at them. Barbie seemed like such a sweet girl. What was she doing with Gavin?

“Thank you for your attention.” Guilt overtook Claudia for judging Mona just because Gavin was her boyfriend. She had made her own mistakes when it came to him.

“I hope you feel better,” Mona said.

“Sorry about all the commotion.” Claudia looked around the room at all the people she’d been cleaning up after for the past few years. She’d never been so embarrassed in her life.

“No need for you to worry,” Angela said. “You have to take care of yourself. You’re carrying a Callahan.”

“Yeah, I guess I am.” Claudia looked at Gavin and then back to Brody. Why would Brody take responsibility for his brother’s child? How were they going to fix this now that he’d made a public announcement? They were going to look like idiots once the truth came out.

“Come on,” Brody said. “My car is in the driveway.”

Claudia smiled as a few of the women congratulated her on their way out. Brody put his arm around her waist and led her back through the house.

“I can take you to your doctor right now if you’d like.
