CHAPTER SEVEN

As soon as the plane landed and he powered on his phone, Grant saw a text from an unknown number. When he realized it was from Rebekah, he smiled as triumph coursed through his body. She might be talking about business stuff and legal releases, but at least he now had her number.

Taking whatever minor victories he could get at this point, he typed in a reply.

Don’t worry. All of the pictures I took showed the kids facing away from me. I may not know much about babies, but I know all about marketing and licensing agreements.

Not expecting a response, he was surprised when he got to the long-term parking garage and felt his phone vibrate in his pocket.

Thanks for keeping your aunts busy today. You filled their heads with lots of crazy talk about Fur Balls and animal-themed weddings, but at least they don’t suspect anything about us.

He wanted to tell her that she couldn’t keep the babies a secret forever. Instead, he wrote,

Sorry for bailing out before dinner with your parents tonight. I figured you’d prefer me not being there to make things even more awkward, but I still hope you’ll make my apologies to Mike and Sheila.

A few dots appeared, indicating she was typing something, then they disappeared. When he got to a stoplight, he saw a new text from her.

Yeah. Awkward is one word for it.

Now that he finally had her texting him, he wanted to keep the conversation going. But a horn sounded behind him and he had to drive.

When he pulled into the underground parking garage at his condo complex, he saw that she’d sent a follow-up message.

To be honest, I also bailed out on dinner. It’s been a long day and I need more time to prepare myself for all their questions.

The reception down here was nonexistent (like their relationship), so Grant waited until he’d let himself into his condo to respond. He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors that looked out over the Atlantic Ocean, but he didn’t notice the view because he was too busy staring at the electronic keyboard on his screen. Finally he typed, If you want, I can fly back this weekend and face them with you.

Thanks for the offer, but I think having you there would only make me more flustered.

So I fluster you. He added the winking emoji then pressed Send.

Of course. Her reply caused a burst of satisfaction to swell through his chest. His pulse sped up. Then a second bubble appeared right after. The whole situation has me all out of sorts.

Grant knew that her addendum was an understatement. He’d also been thrown for a loop when he’d found out they were having twins. While they’d both been active participants that night and had taken steps to prevent this exact thing, he only had to deal with the mental and emotional aspects of her pregnancy. Rebekah had the added physical and hormonal burden.

I was reading that stress isn’t good for the babies.
