The baby woke Janey from a deep sleep with a sharp kick to the ribs. It was still strange at times to realize a life was growing inside her, letting its mother know that she was in for a wild ride. Janey rested a hand on her belly, smiling when she felt the ripple of life travel from one side of her belly to another.

“What’s wrong?” Joe asked, yawning.

“Feel this.” She took his hand and rested it on the baby bump.

“Wow. That’s amazing.” He never failed to stir her with his excitement about the baby they hadn’t planned to have quite yet. “Does it feel weird inside?”

“Sort of. He’s kicking hard enough to wake me up.”

Joe kept his hand next to hers on her belly. “So he’s a he now?”

They’d decided not to find out what they were having and took turns coming up with nicknames and interchanging pronouns. “For the moment.” Seeking a more comfortable position, Janey shifted onto her side to face her husband. “Why are you awake?”

“No reason.”

“You’re thinking about the business.”

“Maybe a little. Nothing to worry about, hon.”

“I’ve been thinking, too.”

“About what?”

“Maybe I should take a leave of absence for a year—”

“No. No way. That’s not happening.”

“Hear me out.”

“I don’t want to hear you talk about not going back to school. You’re so close to being done. You can’t quit now.”

“I wouldn’t quit. I’d just be postponing a bit.”

“No.”

“Maybe this situation with Seamus is a sign.”

“A sign of what?”

“That we should stay here this year so you can run the business and I can take care of the baby.”

“I’ll find someone to deal with the business, and I’ll take care of the baby so you can finish school. I don’t want you to worry about anything.”

How could she tell him that the closer she got to delivering the baby, the more conflicted she became about where she belonged? Becoming a veterinarian was a dream come true, but having a baby and being a mother was far more important all of a sudden. After Joe had sacrificed so much to make it possible for her to attend veterinary school in Ohio, how could she tell him that she was no longer certain she wanted to finish? The thought of leaving the baby for hours on end to attend classes and labs and then to come home to all the studying… What sort of mother would she be if her baby never saw her?

Joe gave her hand a little tug, encouraging her to come closer.

Janey never needed much encouragement to get close to him. She rested her head on his chest and sighed with contentment when his arms encircled her.

He kissed the top of her head. “Go to sleep.”

Never one to do as she was told, Janey ran her hand from his chest to his belly. Under the covers, she found him hard and ready. “Want to?”

He snorted out a laugh. “Always. It’s more a matter of whether you want to.”

“I really want to, but I’m not sure if the rest of me will cooperate.
