Bryce watched as Mikayla walked into her bedroom and quietly shut the door. He’d been on the verge of telling her everything, of spilling every dirty, ugly secret to a woman he barely knew but was starting to really care about.

That was wrong on so many levels he couldn’t even begin to understand the impulse. She belonged to his brothers and certainly didn’t need to be burdened with the confessions of the family black sheep.

For hours Bryce lay on the couch and thought over every possible scenario. Even though he had absolutely no intention of telling her anything, in his heart she was the one he wanted to tell.

Hours later he woke with a start. There’d been a noise. Something he couldn’t remember, or identify, but a noise that should not have been there. Very slowly he reached under the pillow and retrieved the handgun Lachlan had left with him. Bryce flicked the safety off and then lay perfectly still hoping to identify the source of the noise that had woken him.

The low moan came again, and Bryce’s heart beat double time when he realized it was coming from Mikayla’s room. He got off the lounge but hesitated at the bedroom. The woman was pregnant and missing her husbands, she had a right to grieve if she wanted.

But then a gasping moan of pain reached his ears, and he couldn’t stay away any longer. If she didn’t need him, she could just kick his ass out. He limped to the bed as quickly as he could, almost falling to the floor when he saw her face.

Mikayla was pale, her skin almost translucent in the poor light.

Covered in sweat she panted through her teeth and seemed to be trying to lie very still.

“Mikayla?” he asked as he reset the safety and tucked the gun into the back of his jeans.

“Hurts,” she managed to pant out. “When I move it hurts.” Fear drenched him as he tried to quickly assess the situation. He didn’t know much about pregnancy but he knew abdominal pain and bleeding were very bad signs.

“Mikayla,” he said trying to sound calm, “I’m just going to lift the blankets and check if you’re bleeding.” Her eyes flew open, panic swirling in their depths, but she nodded once and groaned again from the small movement. Working as fast as he dared, Bryce untucked the blankets from the end of the mattress and lifted them away from Mikayla. She wore a modest but pretty white nightdress that thankfully didn’t seem to show any signs of bleeding.

“Okay,” he said reassuringly, “there doesn’t seem to be any blood, but I’m going to call an ambulance just in case.” She nodded her agreement, so he quickly placed the blankets back over her and stumbled to the communication console. He contacted the medical emergency number, and a confident looking woman wearing a nurse’s uniform filled the screen.

“How can I help you, sir?”

“My wife,” Bryce said, figuring it was the easiest explanation, “is having severe abdominal pain.
