Chapter Fourteen

Brooks waited by the door, his entire demeanor rigid. Leah’s heart dropped. She’d never seen him like that. Ever. Brooks always had a smile in his eyes, no matter what was happening.

“Brooks? What’s going on? Who is it?” she asked, but a knock at the door sounded before he could stay a word. Instead of answering her, he just opened it.

She stood, her hands immediately going to her belly as she stared at the man in the doorway. “Marcus,” she said, her mind a total blank for a moment as she stared at her baby’s father.

Brooks nodded at him as Marcus entered carrying an enormous bouquet of flowers and then glanced at Leah, his expression unreadable. “I’ll leave you two alone,” he said.

He went into his wine room and turned to close the door, glancing back at her just once.

“Brooks,” she said. But he turned away and shut the door. The look on his face nearly tore her heart out.

Marcus walked slowly into the room, his eyes darting between hers and her belly.

“I’m sorry to drop in unannounced, especially so late. But I just got your messages and wanted to see you.”

“No, that’s fine, really. That’s why I gave you the address. In case you ever wanted to…look us up…”

“So, you’re really…” His gaze dropped back to the baby bump.

Her brows lifted a little. Had he thought she was lying? “Yes. You say you just saw my messages?”

He smiled a bit sheepishly. “Yeah, I’m sorry I never responded. I’ve been out of the country for several months and checking Facebook wasn’t high on the priority list. Oh, these are for you,” he said, handing her the flowers.

“Thank you. They’re gorgeous.” She went into the kitchen area and laid them on the counter, using the time to try and calm her nerves. What the hell did you say to the guy who knocked you up and then reappeared out of the blue five months later?

“I imagine it was somewhat of a shock to see all that. I’m sorry I broke the news that way, but I didn’t know how else to contact you. I thought you should know…”

“No, that’s fine. Thank you for trying to get ahold of me. But I’m here now.”

“Yes, you are.” And what in the hell did that mean? What did she want it to mean? She didn’t know this man. He was a total stranger to her, one she’d never meant to see again. And now here they were, bound through the tiny life they’d created.

Someone really needed to write a how-to book that dealt with the subject. How to Deal with Your One-Night Stand Turned Baby Daddy. With a bonus chapter on how to juggle a new husband into the mix.

She gestured for him to have a seat on the couch. She sat beside him though she left plenty of room between them.

He glanced around. “You have a great place here.”

“Thanks, though I can’t take credit. It’s Brooks’s place.”

“But aren’t you two married?”

Oops. Can’t forget about that.
