Jameson froze as Cady threw herself in his arms, but only for a moment. His arms came up, wrapping around her and holding her close. She felt like a dream nestled in his arms, and he was basking in it. Basking in the feel of her baby bump pressing into his stomach.

And then he heard her sniffle, and her shoulders started shaking. Oh fuck, was she crying? He tried to pull back so he could look into her face, but she shook her head, tightening her arms around his middle.

“Don’t let go, okay?”

Her voice was shaky and barely above a whisper, and it confirmed that yes, she was crying. And her tears hit him like a punch to the gut. Swallowing hard, he sought his voice.

“Don’t worry. I won’t let go. I’ll never let go.”

She risked a look up at him at his words, her big brown eyes full of tears, tear tracks already making their way down her cheeks. But she didn’t say anything about his words, and he wasn’t about to say anything himself. Her glasses were tear stained, and he gently plucked them off her face. The moment he did, she lowered her head and burrowed back into his chest.

He rocked them back and forth for a bit, not saying a word. Just giving her the comfort and closeness she seemed to need, rubbing his hands gently against her back.

Fix it. Fix mate. She shouldn’t be crying. She should only ever be smiling and happy, his tiger pleaded.

I agree about her happiness, but I’m not sure I can fix this. I can only be there for her. But I’ll do my best to make her feel better, he assured his cat.

They were getting curious looks as people passed, but he didn’t care. All he cared about was holding her, making sure she was okay. The look on her face when Old Alice said the baby was smaller than she should be, that Cady hadn’t been eating quite as well as she should, gutted him. He knew she’d been eating—she wouldn’t risk her baby, he knew her well enough to know that. But he also knew money was tight, so maybe she hadn’t eaten quite as much as she should.

If, God forbid, he couldn’t talk her into staying, he thought he’d hide more than a couple hundred in her belongings. Five hundred might be enough. Maybe even more than that. She clearly needed it more than he did.

Fuck, he hoped she stayed, though.

The important thing was the baby was healthy. Nothing else mattered. A girl. It was a girl, and he’d only felt her move once, just last night, but he was already in love. She was his. Even if he couldn’t convince Cady to stay, he’d always feel like that baby girl was his.

“You heard Old Alice,” he said, needing to reassure her somehow. “Your baby’s small, but she’s healthy. That’s the important part.”

Sniffling, she nodded against his chest. “That’s not it. I mean, it’s part of it.
