holding her tighter. “It’s not your fault.”
“I can’t help it,” she sobbed.
“Stop.” He lifted her chin and kissed her forehead. “It’s just… you know how superstitious I am.”
“I’m sure the baby is fine.”
“We’ll go in a few hours. It will make us both feel better.” He nuzzled her hair and rested his chin on her head.
“And you’ll start staying with me at night again?”
“If everything is fine, I’m going to keep you in bed all day.” He smiled down at her.
They got to the doctor’s cabana quite early, waking her. She reluctantly performed yet another ultrasound in her pajamas, assuring Adam that everything was going to be normal. He waited anxiously as the doctor covered Leah’s belly with gel and began to slide the wand across her skin. The image that appeared on the screen looked completely normal, the sounds of the baby’s heartbeat making Adam visibly relax.
Leah was nearing the middle of her fourth month so the sonogram was becoming more exciting to see. The doctor insisted that the wait a while, hopeful they would see the baby moving even though it couldn’t be felt yet.
“I’m not able to tell the gender just yet, that will be a couple of more weeks.”
“But you are sure it’s moving,” Adam asked.
“Absolutely positive. She should feel it soon. But it might take a while before you’ll be able to.”
“Look!” Just then the baby’s leg kicked out and Adam’s face lit up. “You can’t feel that?”
“No.” Leah looked down at her belly in amazement. “That was quite a kick, kid.”
Adam was finally satisfied. He scooped Leah into his arms, rushing her towards the house as he whispered into her ear all the things he wanted to do to her body. She let out a gasp and feigned a shocked expression as he grinned at her. Before they had crossed the threshold, one of the bodyguards called out to him from their hut across the lawn.
“Urgent call from the States, sir!”
“Not now!” Adam growled.
“You really need to take this one, sir.” The guard had a serious look on his face that snapped Adam out of his haze.
“Patch the call through to my office, then. It better be very important!”
Leah waited on the bed naked, excited for his return. She was sure that he’d be a brute today, in a good way. Her hands stroked her swollen belly that seemed to be getting bigger every day. How could she not feel that kick?
Adam appeared in the doorway and Leah beamed at him in anticipation, but her smile fell when she saw the grave look on his face. He approached the bed, sitting down on the edge as he let out a long sigh.
“I have to leave.” He turned to look at her as she stared at him in disbelief.
“What?” Instantly she knew that he was serious and she started to cry.
“I’ll be back as soon as I can.” He reached out to stroke her face.
“How long will you be gone?” She gripped his wrist, pulling herself closer to him as he remained rigid.
“I’m not sure.” It was too difficult to remain distant as her sobs began to fill the room, so he pulled her onto his lap and folded her into his arms. “You’ll be fine.”
“When are you going?” Leah clamped her arms around his neck and she cried into his chest.
Cupping her chin, he kissed her lips softly. The kiss became deeper and he laid her down on the bed. “They are getting the truck ready now.” He got up abruptly, leaving her reaching desperately towards him as he walked to the door.
“Why?” She sat up on the bed as he shot her a stern look that told her not to press him any further.
“I’ll call you as soon as my flight lands.” His eyes filled with hesitation as he looked back at her. “I’m sorry, Leah.”
“But you’re coming back, right,” she whimpered, and it was his undoing. He rushed back to the bed and knelt at her side, his face contorted. As he kissed her again, she stopped crying to savor the moment as their lips parted and he ran his fingers through
