Chapter 19 – New Beginnings

Tapping her pen on the desk distractedly, Adrianna stared into the corner of the office she would no longer occupy after this week. She’d already started cleaning out her personal belongings, taking them home and creating her own home office in her apartment. The project was coming along well, despite her lack of energy and frequent nausea. Somehow, she’d managed to keep all of that from John, as well, probably because he’d been overwhelmed with the task of shifting positions.

He’d managed to secure the division manager position for the eastern seaboard of the United State, convincing the current manager that he wanted the position overseas. He’d been travelling a lot to meet all of his regional managers and visit the hotels, and she’d been doing the same in her own region, along with training her assistant manager to take charge and bringing Scott up to speed as the assistant manager. Between all the work and carrying a child, it was no wonder she had no energy at all.

But she was also losing focus, as evidenced by the fact that she had a pile of paperwork in front of her that she was ignoring in favor of staring at a tiny spot on her wall that needed to be scrubbed. She was waiting to hear from John, who was due back in town today. They’d arranged to meet for dinner, somewhere away from the hotel. Adrianna had noticed a couple of stares coming their way when they were together, and she didn’t want to give ammunition to any rumors, especially since the promotions would be acknowledged in the next couple of days.

But John hadn’t called or texted to say he was back at LaGuardia yet, and Adrianna’s anxiety soared. Her plan for the evening included telling him about the baby, and that practically made her quake in her boots. She could barely face the facts herself, and laying this kind of news on someone else, even if he claimed to be in love with her. Lots of men who professed their love turned tail and ran at the idea of starting a family, and from Adrianna’s perspective, she was just as scared of that commitment as any of those men.

She cursed herself for her fears, and while a part of her cared about John and was excited about having a child, she still wished she’d never gotten into this mess. But now that she was here, she had to take up the reins and run with it.

Her phone buzzed, and it jerked her out of her spacey reverie. She jumped and looked at the caller ID, relieved and also scared when she saw John’s name. She answered, trying not to tremble. “Hello?”

“Hey, gorgeous. I’m not supposed to be on the phone yet because we’re still taxiing in, but I had to hear your voice. We were delayed because some other plane with mechanical issues had to land at our airport. I’ve missed you so much.”

She smiled, glad to know he was safe.
