was she going to raise this child? 
    Her gaze settled on Jessie and Grant who were in the corner whispering.  Jessie was holding their son in his muscular arms and she wanted to cry.  They looked so handsome together .  She wished it were real.  Then her gaze landed on Grant and she felt confused.  Looking at both men sitting there, she knew she was attracted to both.  Why could she never do anything easy ? she wondered.
    They both gave her the tingly feelings in the pit of her stomach.  Grant, al though knowing him for a short period of time, he had been amazing while she was in labor.  Talking to her, and making sure she had everything she needed.  He was strong and caring, and if she had not been giving birth to another man's son, she would have hit on him.  As it was, the situation had spiraled out of control.
    Brin pushed herself up and smiled.  “ Hey there,” she said when the men turned to look at her.
    “ Hey,” Jessie said and Grant grinned and stood.
    “ How are you feeling now?” Grant asked.
    “ Better,” she admitted and then blushed when Jessie and Grant came to each side of the bed.  “Here, let me feed him,” Brin said and held out her arms. 
    Jessie gently placed him in her arms and she looked down at her child.  The love practically burst out of her as she ran a hand down his cheek.  Focusing on her son, she moved an arm out of her gown and arranged him so he was next to her breast.  When she dared to look up, she felt herself blush again as she realized both men were staring at her feeding her son.  Their gazes made her feel cherished, a stupid thought, she shook herself, of course not.  They were probably wondering how they could escape.
    “ We have been talking,” Jessie said, snapping her out of her thoughts.
    “ Well so have I,” Brin said firmly.  “The Commander of the SEAL Team sent a message a few weeks ago saying if anyone needed anything to call him.  I think that would be the best solution.  Until all of this has worked itself out.”
    Jessie sighed.  “ Honey, things have changed since then.  We are all on alert.”
    “ Listen, Jessie explained the situation to me.  I think we have come up with a good compromise.  I happen to be in a good place right now, where I can leave my practice for a while.  Jessie doesn’t want you to be alone, and I have some free time, so how about it?” Grant said.
    “ But…” Brin sputtered.
    “ Honey, we don’t have a lot of choices.  I know how it would be uncomfortable to go off with people you don’t know.  Even though you and Grant just met, he seems to think you have ah...developed a good basis for a friendship.  That way you will know someone, and I will feel better knowing Grant was with you,” Jessie said.
    “ So really, this is all about you making yourself feel better while you are off doing…whatever it is you need to do,” Brin argued.  “Well thank you very much, but I think we can handle this on our own.”
    Jessie made a noise of frustration.  “ Where do you plan on going?”
    Brin looked him in the eyes and said , “Don’t worry, I will figure it out.”
    “ I don’t think so,” Jessie growled.
    “ What he means is, why not let us help you figure this out,” Grant said softly, drawing her attention away.
    Brin felt a lump in her throat.  Her brother would say the same thing , he was reasonable about stuff like that.  She really wished he were here about now, he would know what to do.
    Jessie cleared his throat again and reached into his back pocket.  “ This is probably not the best place to do this but hell, is there a good time?” 
    Brin looked at the torn and tattered letter Jessie was holding out and knew what it was, damn him .  Her brother had written her a letter before he died.  With shaking hands, she reached out and took the paper.  Her son grumbled at the movement.  Brin laid down the letter, and silently finished feeding her child while trying to fight the
