Five hours later, she’d left her mom’s house thinking her nerves had finally been put to rest. Her mom was absolutely thrilled. But as soon as Carly got in her car and started driving she found she couldn’t stop. Didn’t want to go home. She felt prickly and unsettled, and she knew it had something to do with that missed call from this morning. She owed the man the truth.

And if she couldn’t screw up the courage to give it to him?

To hell with that. She’d given him her word, and whether she was scared or not, she owed it to him to go in and relieve his mind.

Except she wasn’t sure laying something like this on him would constitute relief. At least her nausea was gone. And even though pregnancy tests had given false positives before, she knew in her heart of hearts that this wasn’t one of those times.

She would be absolutely devastated if it was actually. After all the railing and tears and pain, she was finally going to get her wish. She was having a baby.

It went to voice mail, and the little bubble of courage popped like a water balloon. Great. She hung up. There was no way she was going to relay this kind of news via voice mail or text. She’d just have to try later. She tossed her phone back into her purse, only to hear it immediately start ringing. She gulped. It was him. It had to be.

She scrabbled in her purse to find the errant phone, pulling it out just as a third ring sounded. She quickly hit the button to answer and put the phone to her ear. “Hello?”

“Carly. Sorry. I left my phone in the office at the clinic to get water to make coffee and it had just finished ringing when I got to it.”

She remembered the small silver pot he’d had that day in the cafeteria. That was what had gotten this whole thing started. She’d never even gotten to try it, and after today, it was likely she never would. Once he heard the news,
