Chapter Eighteen

Rob walked into his own living room and took in several things at once. First, his very pregnant sister-in-law was squared off with Jillian’s mother, and secondly Jillian had just thrown up into a nearby trash can. He could see her body literally shaking from his vantage point at the door, and anger swept through him so fierce that Rob wanted to hit something.

“What in the hell is going on here? Monica, what have you done?” roared Rob as he quickly dropped his things onto a nearby table and hurried toward Jillian. Supporting her in his arms, Rob tried leading her to the couch but Jillian frantically shook her head and actually resisted against his help.

“Jillian, you’re scaring me, sweetheart,” said Rob worriedly.

“Can’t…perfume…too strong…” mumbled Jillian as she continued to cover her nose and mouth with her hand.

It hit him then, and Rob cursed as he simply picked Jillian up into his arms and changed course toward the bedroom. Her mother’s damn perfume had made her sick, and she’d been having a good morning up until now. Fury swept through him again, but Rob tamped it down until he could get Jillian settled again. When they reached the bed, Rob deposited her gently onto the mattress and then hurried to the bathroom for a wet cloth. Jillian was lying with her eyes closed when he returned, and the gray pallor of her skin was like nothing he’d ever seen before. Dropping to his knees beside the bed, Rob quickly wiped her face with the cloth and waited for her to open her eyes.

Tears pricked the back of Jillian’s lids, but she willed herself not to cry. Right now her stomach was still churning and she needed her medication. Melanie had offered it before, but she’d thought she had things under control. Unfortunately her mother had continued her tirade, and she’d felt sicker as her anxiety level had risen. Now she’d thrown up in the living room, and poor Melanie was dealing with her mother.

Glancing at Rob, Jillian swallowed against the emotion and whispered, “I’m so sorry.”

Shushing her while continuing to wipe her face, Rob said, “Hush, you have nothing to be sorry for, understand? I’m going to get your nausea medication and a sip of Gator-Ade to take it with. I’ll be right back.”

Rising to his feet, Rob strode angrily from the bedroom and back into the living room. Melanie was still holding Monica at bay, and Rob had never been more thankful for his watchdog sister-in-law in his life.

Walking up to Monica, Rob pointed a finger and said harshly, “What the hell did you do? How long have you been here…five minutes, and you’ve already upset her to the point that she’s throwing up and can barely stand on her own.”

Rearing back from his attack, Monica narrowed her gaze at the man standing in front of her. “You have no right to speak to me that way, Rob
