Chapter 2

Madison was on a late shift the next time her pager went off. She was in the middle of a difficult delivery, and had been called out for a moment to see to an emergency in the nursery. She was cradling a sleeping newborn that had just finally drifted off, gently lowering him into the waiting crib below, tucking the soft blue blanket up under his chubby cheeks. With one last look around the nursery she ducked out of the room, called in a replacement, and checked it. Madison’s heart lurched when she saw it was from the Knights.

It was eleven o'clock at night and she desperately hoped that Christopher and his wife were not having an emergency. It had already been an excruciatingly long day, and she wasn’t sure if she up to facing them right now, especially Christopher. She found her way to the nursing supervisor's office to make a call to Christopher. He answered right away.

“Hi Madison. It's nice to hear your voice.” His was rich and deep, and it poured over her like honey.

“I was worried,” she said, trying to shake off the distracting thoughts. “You're calling so late. Is everything all right?” Images of all the things that can go wrong during a pregnancy crashed through her mind, spurring her concern.

“Yes, everything is fine. It's just...”

“Just what?” She looked up at the ceiling and shook her head at herself. Don't be silly, Madison, why do you think he is contacting you at this time of night? You should hang up the phone.

“Well, I'm not really sure how I should be acting,” he continued. “As a new father, I mean. I don't know what's expected of me, and I wondered if you and I could have a one-to-one. You could talk me through a few things.”

His words had her heart skipping in her chest as it tightened painfully. She cast about for some way to decline, to get out of meeting him in person again. The memory of the last time was still seared onto her brain, haunting her dreams and her waking thoughts.

“Well, that's not really what the program is about, Mr. Knight,” Madison lied. That was exactly what the program, 'From Conception to Birth' should cover.

“Oh please, call me Christopher. It might not be orthodox, but I need my own tutor in this. I'm happy to pay you for your time. Like I said before, Ailsa and I are both so busy and we'd need a separate program each because of our schedules. You could be a personal counselor to Ailsa. Whenever she needs you for anything, she could call you too.”

“Wouldn't it be easier if I just dealt with you both together?” Madison hovered by the nursing supervisor desk. She would not be back for a good half hour, and Madison only had the lamp light on. There were shadows around the office and she felt as though she were part of a secret conspiracy—she kept her eyes on the door.

“It's our schedules, you see?” Christopher continued on, trying to explain, trying to convince her.
