“Are you sure you’re okay, sweetheart?” my dad asked, placing the back of his hand on my forehead. “You feel a bit warm.” The concern in his eyes was mild. What would they look like when I finally worked up enough nerve to tell him not only that was I pregnant with his first grandchild, but I was sick on top of it? More than anything, I wished I didn’t have to put my father through any of this. He’d seen enough horror years before when he sat by my mother’s side, every single day, doing his best to tend to her and lift her spirits, all the while completely forgetting about himself.

And he’d stayed lost. Not one time in the five years since the death of my mother, his loving wife, had he ventured out on a date with anyone. Brian Reins was a very attractive man. “Fit and fifty,” I would tease him. His dark hair was greying at the temple, making him look even more distinguished, his deep brown eyes shining bright whenever he saw me. Too bad they didn’t light up for anyone else. I often prayed for him to meet someone, grab life by the balls and at least try to be happy, but my prayers never came true.

My dad worked as an accountant and, contrary to popular stereotypes, he wasn’t boring. Or at least he hadn’t been. He had an adventurous soul, always looking for the next big thrill. I couldn’t even begin to count how many times he’d convinced my mother and me to step outside our comfort zone and experience life. Swimming with the sharks in Hawaii, or jumping out of a plane were just some of the thrills he wanted all of us to experience. When he started talking about cave climbing, my mother and I had to put a stop to it. A small smile found its way on my face remembering all the fun we had as a family.

But after my mother died, everything stopped.

The thrills.

The laughter.

Life as we knew it.

I’d trudged through, focusing on school and finishing my degree. I was lucky enough to find a great nursing job at Mercy Medical Center. My hours were long sometimes, but I really enjoyed being in a position where I could make a difference for someone. I supposed the fact I couldn’t help my own mother drove me to want to dedicate my career to helping others.

And now here I am, the one who’s sick and will be in need of someone . . . well, like me.

“I’m fine, Dad,” I assured him. Sucking down any courage I thought I had walking through his front door, I gave him a faint smile before twitching in my chair.

“If you say so.”

“I say so,” I joked. Since I wasn’t going to wait around for Stone back at his house, I decided to wing it and see if my dad was free for lunch. Thankfully, he was. We hadn’t spent much time together
