Chapter 14

Alexa exchanged a glance with Callie, breathing a sigh of relief as her father finally left at noon. He’d been none too pleased about the situation with Austin, but he also didn’t have a say in the matter. He’d shown up as planned at exactly nine a.m., an hour before Callie arrived, and things had felt tense the entire time he’d been there. Alexa understood his concern about the threats he’d received, but she also couldn’t hide away on the off-chance this Duke Murphy guy showed up.

“Well, that was fun,” Callie quipped after she’d closed the door to Austin’s apartment.

“Which part? My dad complaining about my boyfriend knocking me up or learning some crazy former Naval officer is out to get him/us?”

“Both?” Callie grabbed a bottle of water and Alexa’s medicine off the counter, bringing them into the living room.

“I’m kind of amazed he left, actually,” Alexa said. “He had golf plans with a former military buddy later this afternoon, so I suppose that was too important for him to miss.”

“I’m sorry,” Callie murmured, setting the things on the coffee table and sinking down onto the sofa.

“Don’t be. His career has always come first, and it’s for the best. I saw the way he was and turned out nothing like him, thank God.” She twisted the cap off the water bottle, then smiled as she opened the bottle of medicine.

“What?”

“I mentioned I was halving my dose, and Austin already cut all of the pills in half for me.”

Callie jokingly waggled her eyebrows. “Now that’s true love right there.”

“Love? I don’t know if we’re there yet. I’m kind of still in the falling stage,” Alexa admitted, feeling herself flush.

“That’s the best,” Callie told her. “I mean, don’t get me wrong, Wyatt and I are crazy happy right now, but those butterfly feelings at the beginning are incredible.”

“Austin’s not happy they’re leaving,” Alexa said.

“What’s there to be happy about?” Callie quipped. “They’re incredible at their jobs, but he’s worried about you. The timing is pretty terrible from his standpoint.”

“The only good news is that Duke Murphy is in San Diego this week. As a retired admiral, my father has connections everywhere. He’s been able to keep tabs on the guy to some extent, given that they’re both former Navy.”

Callie frowned.

“What?” Alexa asked.

“Just, I hope your father doesn’t somehow mess with Austin’s career. You said he was mad that Austin got you pregnant.”

Annoyance roiled through Alexa. “That would be just like my father, thinking he needs to have a hand in everything. He’s always been a control freak. My father respects the SEAL teams, however, so I don’t think he’d attempt to intervene with Austin’s career. The Navy puts a lot of money and time into their training. Even if Austin isn’t my father’s favorite person, he’s a highly trained asset to the Navy.”

“But couldn’t your dad get him transferred to another location?” Callie asked, worrying her lip.

Alexa huffed out a breath. “I’ve got no idea. I mean, he could try, but…damn. I hadn’t even really considered that.
