If there’s one thing I wish people had warned me about, it was baby brain. Morning sickness is gone, but brain fog is here to stay. I can only think of one thing at a time, and never with too much focus. Today, it’s baby names. I can’t believe I’m almost twenty weeks in, and I haven’t begun thinking of baby names.

There’s something about Elizabeth that calls to me, but I’ve also read Avery on several sites, and it’s stuck with me. I should have told Nicholas about it. He could help me out, bring some ideas, and balance them out. Is Avery a good name? Will the other kids make fun of it? I’m always worried about a potential bully since I was the target of every one back in school—because I was fat, because my name was funny, because I only found out about shaving when I was fourteen… Kids are cruel.

I make my way into the building, daydreaming about telling Nicholas the truth. How is he going to react? A part of me still fears he’s going to bail on me. That like so many other fathers out there, he won’t want to stay. He’s not the one carrying the child, so he doesn’t need to be around for the kid to be born. And someone with as much money as he has? Maybe he throws a bone my way, pays me child support, then tells his lawyers I’m never to speak to him again.

A knot tightens in my throat as I climb the building inside the elevator. That would be so much worse than never telling him... But is it fair? Is it fair to keep both him and my son-slash-daughter from each other’s presence just because I’m afraid?

No. Definitely not. If I knew my Mom had kept my father from raising me just because she feared rejection, I’d be upset. That’s it. That’s all I need to know. I can’t allow fear to put a wedge in this relationship. Nicholas has the right to learn about it, and I’m telling him today.

The elevator doors open and I comb the space ahead of me. It’s a good thing I’ve come this early before anyone else is here. Nicholas comes in at nine on the dot, so I’ll have time to gather my surroundings, ready myself...

My gaze lands on someone standing by my desk. The broad shoulders are the first thing I recognize. Nicholas is in a sky-grey suit that hugs his bulky shape, stretching across his body, making him painfully sexy. From this position, I can gape at his ass, and wow, how couldn’t I have noticed his sexy ass before?

I shake myself back to reality. Wait. What is he doing here so early?

My heels clack in his direction and he slowly turns to me. There’s a daze on his face, confusion etched in the deep marks between his brows. His eyes grow focused as he lifts his head to gape at me. There’s something on his hand, fisted between his big fingers.
