“Father?”

Danny stopped. She’d said the word so easily, voicing the concept as though it was nothing. To him it was still something he had a hard time wrapping his brain around, even if Ally had finally confirmed it.

“Yeah,” he said huskily. “The father.”

“Come on. Both of us are hungry.” Ally tugged on his arm impatiently. “The exercise is good for us.”

“Okay,” Danny said. “Do you mean us, like you and me? Or you and the baby?” He paused, then added, “But I’m paying for my own.”

“Works for me,” Ally said, tossing him a dazzling smile. “And in answer to your question—both of the above.”

Danny laughed and raised an eyebrow. “What, no protest? After all, you invited me. I should expect you to pay.” In the old days, Ally would have argued until any man opposing her had no choice but to give in. She had always had to show that she could do things on her own. Maybe she was mellowing, too.
