The drive to Balboa never seemed so long. Luckily, the parking lot wasn’t as crowded as she expected. Kayla didn’t have to walk a long distance to the building. In the elevator, her nerves took over. She clenched her hands to keep them from shaking. Kayla took a deep breath and walked up to the nurse’s station. The nurse glanced around at her. “Can Jackson Langley have a visitor?”

An angry woman brushed by her and then looked back.

“Sorry,” Kayla said, although she didn’t think it was her fault.

The nurse spoke up. “Yes, his room is across the hall, two doors down on the right.”

Caroline turned and noticed the woman, who’d been so angry, stood by the elevator looking her way. Her stare made Kayla uncomfortable. She breathed a sigh of relief when the woman got on and the doors closed. Kayla shrugged off her uneasiness and walked to Jackson’s door. She tapped and heard him say come in.

“Kayla.” He reached out his hand for her. “Did Caroline get in touch with you?”

“Yes, she told me you’d arrived.” Kayla walked closer to the bed.

“It’s nothing. The doctors insist on keeping me overnight to check me out. I’ll be released tomorrow morning or afternoon.” He put his feet on the side of the bed. “Sorry, I wasn’t able to call you before a few weeks ago. It’s been a long mission. My buddy is in the next room over. I stayed with him, or I’d have been back a bit sooner. We don’t leave our own, alone.”

“I understand.”

Jackson pulled her between his legs and leaned forward to kiss her. “We got our getting to know each other interrupted. I can’t wait to be alone with you at my home.”

“You like to be by yourself the first day or two.”

“True, but not this time. I’ll be visiting Jordan, and I want to see you.” He frowned. “You seem hesitant. Has something changed since I left?”

“Yes. A surprise change I didn’t expect.”

“Good or bad?” His hands tightened on hers.

“Good, I hope. It’s good for me.”

“Just tell me.”

She took his hand and placed it on her belly. Jackson’s forehead wrinkled, then he moved his hand around.

“You’re pregnant?”

“Yes, we are having a baby.” Her throat tightened watching his expression.

Jackson frowned. “You said you couldn’t have children.”

“I was wrong.”

“Ah, conveniently wrong. Did you want to get married so bad you had to trick me?”

“How did I trick you? We used a condom every time.”

“We hardly know each other, and this has never happened to me before. You’re saying my condom suddenly failed me.”

Anger swept over her. She walked quickly to the door. “Yes, you jackass, it failed you and me.”

She stomped out of the room. Jackson called her name, but she kept walking and entered the elevator as another person got off. In her car, the tears finally ran down her face. Kayla cried until she hiccupped. Thankfully, no one else was parked nearby. She rubbed her tummy.

“It’s you and me, baby. We’ll tackle the world alone, but not completely.
