but she didn’t return his smile. “I know you haven’t looked too far into my medical records because I begged you not to,” she said as she stared into his light green eyes. He slightly nodded. “When I was with Joe I got pregnant, I didn’t tell anyone because I knew he wouldn’t like it. He hated kids and told me that he would beat the shit out of me if I got pregnant. So I kept it to myself, until one day he noticed I was showing.” He’d been so mad at her, and she tried to hide it, but he saw what he needed to. She closed her eyes tightly and balled her hands into fists in her lap. She had been so weak with him, and she laid there trying like hell to cover her stomach, but it hadn’t work.
    “Megan, love , you don’t need to tell us anymore. We get what happen to you and if I could get away with it, I would kill him,” Max said and placed a warm strong hand on her shoulder.
    She shook her head because she wanted more with Max , and yes, Jax too. She couldn’t promise herself to him like she basically already had with Max. “No because you both need to know this. Jennifer found me, she called 911 and I was rushed into emergency surgery. The baby had already died and I was close behind him. When I woke up I found out that there was a strong possibility that I wouldn’t ever be able to have children.” Her tears burned her eyes with the thoughts of her son, she was able to hold him one time and it tore her heart out.
    Max kept his face blank from any emotions, but Jax didn’t. His eyes were a dark green and she wondered if that was a sign of anger too. She blinked a couple of times and few of her tears rolled down her cheeks.
    She turned her attention back on Max. “I knew when you told me you wanted what Jennifer and Phoenix had , I knew I had to tell you and that I would most likely lose you.” Max stood up and closed the distance between them, he dropped to his knees in front of her.
    He took her balled up fist in his hands and forced her hands open to take his. “Megan, you are the strongest woman I know . You are stronger for walking away and pressing charges on that piece of shit.”
    She looked down at her hands. S he couldn’t look at him and see pity on his handsome face.
    “Please look at me.”
    She did and she didn’t see pity she saw…love?
    “You aren’t going to lose me , Megan. I know I haven’t given you a reason to think that. But I want to be with you no matter what.”
    More tears flooded her eyes, and she hiccupped. She felt another set of hands massaging her back.
    “I know I just met you, but I’m not going anywhere, Megan. You are what I need to be happy and I will find Joe Roman and I will deal with him.” Something dark clouded Jax’s normally charming voice. She tilted her head back to look at him, and he glanced down at her with nearly black eyes.
    “Please , let the police handle this, I don’t what my tainted past to touch either of you.”
    Max squeezed her hands, and Jax glowered down at her.
    “If you want I can take a second look at you to see about having children.” Max’s voice broke her staring match with the black eyed incubus and she looked at the doctor.
    She shook her head again. “I don’t know if you should be my doctor. And I really don’t want to know right now. I want to be married before I start thinking about babies again.”
    Max grinned at her, and she narrowed her eyes. “Babies, meaning you want more than one?” she rolled her eyes, and he laughed. “Megan, since you are part succubus you may have healed yourself. The meaning of our existent is to make more of us.”
    She frowned because she ’d never allowed herself to think about having children…not until Jennifer had her twins. The main reason she freaked out on her best friend and left their apartment was because she should have had the first baby. She knew it was selfish and now adored Eve and Evan. Her phone rang breaking the moment and she couldn’t have been happier.
