other end while he typed on a keyboard.
“Sorry. She’s not here or at any
of our sister companies. Is she wolf?”
“No.” Liam murmured his voice full
of disappointment. “She’s human, but she’s the one.”
“Describe her for me.” Kiernan said
still typing.
“She’s…beautiful, smart, witty,
sharp, and brilliant, her eyes are like emeralds laced with copper the color of
freshly scoured pans. Her hair is long, chestnut and curls at the ends. She’s
independent, she doesn’t whine and she’s strong.” His brother grunted.
“Wow.” Kiernan finally said. “You
have found her. I didn’t hear one mention of her magnificent breasts or plump
bottom. Congratulations brother. I am sending word through the channels to find
her. Can I reach you at this number?”
“Yeah it’s my cell. Don’t frighten
her. She’s ferocious when she’d pissed.” Kiernan laughed loudly.
“I like her already. Finally, a
woman to put you in your place, let me know if you need anything else. And
Liam? You know there is always work here for you when you want it.”
“I know. I may take you up on it
someday.” Liam disconnected the call. The last thing he needed right now was a
stint with his brother. He needed to find Amy.

“That can’t be.” Amy shook her head
and opened another box, flipped the plastic end off the flat oblong piece of
plastic and dipped the cotton end into the cup of urine again. This was her
third one this morning. She’d bought them after the first one showed positive
yesterday. She’d spent the entire day wondering why God would punish her for
having sex one time. It was one damned time. The pink lines showed up
immediately. “Shit.” She cursed and sat down hard on the commode. “Shit. Shit.
Shit and damn him. Argggh.” She shook angrily. She had two months on the ice
left. By then her snow suit wouldn’t fit anymore but she wouldn’t be able to
waddle out onto the ice anyway, so that didn’t matter either.
She tossed the kits into the trash
and went to her laptop to email Krista. So far she’d avoided mentioning what
she suspected to her sister. Her period was late, but it had been late before.
However, before she knew there was nothing to worry about because usually
virgins don’t turn up pregnant. How was she supposed to raise a child with a
man like that? He couldn’t be trusted. Would they eat dinner as a family then
watch him go out for dates. She laughed cynically. He didn’t need to know. Why
mess up his life and her baby’s. Children could be perfectly happy with one
parent. Women did it all the time. She was strong and capable.
Krista~ News, you decide if it’s
good or bad. You’re going to be an auntie. Who knew one glorious night in a
tent would cause this. So guess what sis, I’ll be really fat when I get there.
Don’t worry, I’ll be careful and I’ll eat right, no lectures please. Start
looking at baby furniture but don’t overdo it. Love Amy .
There. Done. Wow. She pushed send.
Krista was going to flip. She loved kids and she was going to be thrilled.
Chapter 8
“Oh Amy.” Krista’s arms wrapped
around her tightly, “You’re glowing.” Krista leaned back and looked at her,
smiled, then rubbed her belly.
“Stop that.” Amy smacked her hand
away and Krista laughed until she snorted.
“I see motherhood hasn’t softened
you up any.” Krista hugged her again.
“Thank God.” Amy pouted. It felt
like her clothes were getting tighter by the second. She grabbed her bags from
the carousel and Krista yanked them away. “I can carry them.” Amy tried to get
them back.
“So can I. You carry the laptop.
Come on.” Krista took the escalator up to the second floor then breezed out into
the garage. She stopped at a minivan and fished a key fob from her pocket and
pressed a button. The door slid open silently. “Like it? It’s for the baby.”
“You bought a van?” Krista nodded
and put the bags inside. “You bought a van. Oh my God
