“Rick? What Are You Doing Here?” Joanna Asked.
The desire to kiss her was almost overpowering to Rick. But it was at odds with the renewed feeling of betrayal that seared through him. She obviously had moved on with her life and was now carrying some other man’s child.
“Are you all right?” he asked, his voice harsh with anger, with hurt.
She started to say something and had her breath stolen away before she could utter an intelligible sound. Her eyes widened as her hand flew to her abdomen.
“What’s the matter?” On his knees beside her, concern pushed aside his anger.
“The baby,” Joanna gasped, pushing the words out as best she could. “I think the baby’s coming.”
“You mean later.”
“I mean now.” Joanna clenched his wrist.
“Hold on,” Rick told her, beginning to rise to his feet. “I’ll go get help.” The death grip tightened on his wrist, yanking him back down to her.
“Rick, you are help.”
