Chapter Fourteen

“Would you please sit down; you’re making me nervous.” Raina leaned back in the chair in the sterile examining room, legs crossed, hand gripping the glossy magazine in her lap. Her stomach was in knots and not because of the pregnancy. In the two weeks since she’d found out about the baby, she’d been a hot mess. Her entire life was topsy-turvy and the man pacing the small room wasn’t helping.

He plopped down into the chair next to her, phone cradled in his hand, thumbs typing out a text. From the second she’d met him in the lobby, he’d been quiet, barely saying a handful of words to her. Judging by the sternness of his profile, he was equally uneasy.

She cleared her throat and when he glanced up, a jolt of awareness sped along her nerves. He’d shaved his beard, and the faint tick in his jaw was a noticeable tell. The smell of his aftershave drifted in the air between them, triggering a deep need burning a path between her legs. She clutched the magazine tighter, horrified by her physical reaction to his nearness. Her attraction for him was what got her into this mess to begin with. Raising her chin, she pointed to the sign on the back of the door reading No Cellphones.

Scowling, he slipped it into the pocket of his navy suit as the door opened.

A woman in a lab coat entered wearing a serene smile, her black hair pulled back in a severe bun. “Hello Raina, Xavier. I am Dr. Lopez.”

Unexpected panic hit Raina, and she willed her breathing to remain steady. In a matter of minutes, everything would be official. She’d have her concerns answered and then they’d have to figure it out from there. Her temples began to pound, every scenario she’d imagined in the last few weeks rolling around in her head. The baby would live with her and Howler would have visitation, but mostly the burden would be on her. No, not a burden, her child would never be a burden as she’d been with her parents. Trent said he’d help but she’d be the primary caregiver. Alone. By herself. When she pictured having a baby, this wasn’t the scenario she wanted to be in. What other choice did she have? Howler wasn’t exactly relationship material, nor was he in love with her. The thought stung her pride the tiniest bit before she shrugged it off. Loving Howler would bring nothing but heartache. No, being a single mother was the hand life dealt her and she’d persevere, she had no other choice.

The doctor sat down at a computer and clicked on the mouse; a pair of reading glasses perched on her pert nose. “When was the first day of your last period?”

Willing herself to remain in the moment, Raina blew out a breath and gave the doctor the date. Seven weeks seemed an eternity considering Veer’s wedding stayed foremost in her mind for a multitude of reasons, mainly because of her marriage to Howler.
