Elias was tense when he rented a car. He had been dreading this drive, but Adeline seemed in good spirits, so thankfully Dr. Spiner hadn’t let it slip that he knew Adeline was pregnant.

“I wish you had rented a convertible,” Adeline teased as Elias pulled up in an SUV.

“They didn’t have any and it’s really windy today. Why would you want a convertible?” he asked, puzzled.

“I don’t know. I’ve always wanted to take a trip in one.”

He smiled. “You need to rent a convertible to go down the coast, not up it.”

“Who says?” she asked, tossing her overnight bag into the back.

He eyed the bag with misgivings. “Why did you pack a bag?”

“I have a feeling we won’t be leaving tonight.”

“What gives you that idea? Napa is only an hour away.”

“Your sister is due and I think that she will likely give birth in the next forty-eight hours.”

Elias’s eyes widened. “Shouldn’t we get her admitted?”

“There’s no medical reason to admit her, but since we’re off the next two days, I thought it would be wise to bring an overnight bag on the off chance. I know for a fact that Napa has a hospital and I can get privileges there. That’s if she still wants me to be her doctor.”

“Okay. I’ll be back.”

He was going with Adeline’s gut instinct on this, as so far her instincts had never been wrong.

Except for when she thought that she had a cold and was actually pregnant.

Adeline had even thought it was absurd at first.

He knew she didn’t want a family, that she was scared of the genetic condition, but she seemed almost at peace with it all now and Elias couldn’t help but wonder if there was more. She was holding something back, but he didn’t know what.

Something that scared her.

He didn’t know much about her previous relationship.

Only that it had almost cost her her career.

What happened?

He wanted to know more, but he was so afraid of pushing her away. He hated feeling this uncertainty. He was already on edge at the thought of going to see his family. At the thought he might run into Aidan.

This is what his family did to him and he hadn’t even left San Francisco yet. He quickly packed an overnight bag and locked up.

Adeline was leaning against the side of the SUV, and she looked so cute in her oversized cardigan and big sunglasses. He loved it when her hair was down and loose. He could remember how soft and luxurious it felt when they had made love.

“You ready?” she asked, smiling. She seemed so at ease in San Francisco. As if she was at peace here, and he couldn’t blame her.

He’d forgotten how much he loved this city too.

It had been too long since he’d been back.

And he heard his father’s voice in his head.

Always wandering. You need to put down roots. Settle down.

He couldn’t come back to San Francisco until he had the fellowship.

There were fine doctors here and he would be proud to be counted among them, but he wasn’t going to abandon his child or the fellowship.
