James dressed on a high. Although he hadn’t meant for April to catch him running around in a towel, he was sure she’d been checking him out. And he’d never been quite so happy for a woman to give him the once-over.

Was she as attracted to him as he was to her?

He loved the way she sighed to herself when she was thinking, loved her gentle nature. Her feistiness, too. She was a champion for her boy, and James admired that kind of passion.

Yet...

He knew Marcus had social issues but, more than anything, it bothered James that the kid ignored him. It made him feel as insignificant as he had during his own childhood. Maybe that’s why he’d landed in trouble back then.

Nothing serious. Not compared with some of the antics teens got involved in these days. He was never into drugs. Never stole. Never destroyed property. He’d gotten into a few fist fights, defending himself when other boys called him stupid. Even though he suspected what they’d said was a fair assessment.

More than suspected. He’d hit them because they’d spoken the truth. He was stupid. Other kids easily stood up in front of the class and read aloud. James couldn’t. He’d start to sweat and his stomach would churn, while the words in front of him swirled.

Would any child he fathered wind up with the same problem? Would Holly?

It was time to find out.

He’d received a call from the UPS Store in Stowe that his parcel had arrived. When he purchased the online DNA kit, he’d watched a video that showed how to do the cheek swabs. He’d need one for himself and one for the baby. And, unless he wanted everyone in his family to know about his indiscretion, he’d have to find some time alone with Holly to obtain the sample.

If he were her father, he would, of course, take responsibility. But he prayed, with all his heart, he wasn’t.

There was something about Heather. Something that wasn’t quite right. Sharing a baby with her wasn’t going to be easy. While having a child with April...

That seemed like a dream come true.
