Chapter 11

“What?” Erin whispered, looking at her doctor as if she had suddenly grown two heads. “Pregnant?”

“Yes. I take it by the expression on your face that this is a surprise?”

Erin could only nod in response. She was pregnant? Oh Lord, she was pregnant with Kam’s baby!

“I’m going to write you a prescription for some prenatal vitamins, and also for some gum that should help with the nausea. I had morning sickness for the first several months of my pregnancy and while it has a chalky taste, it was an absolute lifesaver.”

The doctor issued this statement with a smile of encouragement as Erin nodded again, still speechless. She was pregnant. She was pregnant!

“Erin, are you okay?” her doctor asked.

“I will be. Thank you, doctor.”

She finished dressing, taking her time as thoughts of the future crowded her tired brain. What was she going to tell Kam? How was she going to tell Kam? There was almost seven thousand miles between them and this really wasn’t a conversation for the phone. Oh Lord, what was she going to tell her parents?

She was so lost in trying to answer those questions as she left the doctor’s office that she didn’t see the town car parked at the curb, or Talib and the driver leaning against it with their arms crossed over their massive chests.

She didn’t have the energy to make the trek back to the mall, and right now, she only wanted to get home so she could crawl under her covers and hide from reality for a few more hours.

Talib helped her into the waiting car and then climbed in after her. She looked at him questioningly, but when he made no effort to explain his presence, she turned her head towards the far window, laying her head back against the seat cushion.

Talib watched her relax into the seat and then fall into a deep sleep. The dark circles beneath her eyes spoke volumes about her current physical state. Connecting a call to Kamal, he spoke softly, “Your Majesty, we found her.”

“Where?”

“She was in a doctor’s office.”

Kamal cursed in Arabic before demanding, “Put her on the phone.”

“Your Majesty, she is asleep. She has dark circles under her eyes and fell asleep immediately upon settling into the seat.”

“What’s wrong with her?”

“I’m sorry, Sir. I was not able to question her before she fell asleep.”

Kamal thought about this for a minute before asking, “Did
