“She’s pregnant, Sabrina,” I blurt out when I can finally get a word in.

“What?”

If I thought that would somehow pacify her as an explanation, I was wrong because she launches into fresh sobs.

Jordan holds her while he looks at me in shock.

“That’s why she ran. She found out she was pregnant while in Dublin. I can only imagine she thought I wouldn’t want the baby. We were okay before my surgery, and the next thing I knew, I was in Prague and I was reading a breakup text from her.”

“She told you she’s pregnant?” Sabrina asks, dabbing the tissue that Jordan hands her against her face.

“No, she didn’t. But she has a friend in Dublin who texted me a few days after she’d left for Vancouver.” Actually he I haven’t read the whole if the text. It sounded the same as the voice note

“Let me see that text.” I bring it up and pass my phone to her.

She stares at it for a long while. Then, she takes her phone out and snaps a picture of the text.

“Ethan, how are your eyes?” I’m surprised that she switched topics so suddenly. “I mean, you can read okay now?”

“Yes, fairly well, thanks.”

She downs her sweet tea and suddenly motions to Jordan to help her up.

“Baby?” he asks.

“We’re leaving.”

“What? We just got here.”

And you’ve just been sobbing your eyes out.I add silently. “Don’t you want to see Elsa and the boys?”

Elsa and Kane were spending the week at my house since both of them had been worried sick after I left Prague on that dreadful flight.

“We’re going to Brooke’s house, and we’ll pick up Stella on the way,” Sabrina orders.

“What in the hell is going on, Sabrina?” I’m starting to panic now. Must be the pregnancy hormones driving her crazy. Jordan only looks resigned, not even batting an eyelash.

“What’s going on, Ethan, is that Stella will be going to Vancouver to drag that girl’s ass back here. Because I’m not having these babies if she’s not here. I suggest you find a way to keep said ass nailed here because we’re only doing this once.”

“We recommend you marry her,” Jordan adds. “And by the way, all the executives approve. I’ve even heard a few whispers of Zeus and Hera. Not that I know what that means, of course.”

Jordan throws the last bit behind his back as they leave me stunned and confused and still staring after Sabrina, who seems to have been invaded by an alien.

Chapter 37

Bonnie

The Xi-Gen building inVancouver is even more impressive than Acercraft, and I've got a corner office with an actual door. My rank is equivalent to a junior partner, which is higher than my previous job.

It’s the start of my fourth week, and I’ve not been able to muster a sliver of enthusiasm for being here. My week of orientation went smoothly, and my bosses and co-workers have chalked up my gray complexion and perpetually downturned mouth to being homesick.

It’s not Xi-Gen or the nice people here. They’re awesome, they’re just not Acercraft. The whole city is lacking a certain hot, sexy-as-hell, hazel-eyed man who makes me laugh, rocks my world and looks at me like I’m his heaven and hell wrapped in one.

My need for him throbs like a physical ache.

But he cheated. He used me to prove a point that he could get with a different sort of woman than he’s used to. I tell myself I’ll forget about him soon enough.

The tightening and mild cramps I feel in my lower belly tells me the opposite but my gynecologist says the cramps are a normal occurrence in early pregnancy. I rub my still-flat belly.
