The Booming Of The Baby’s Strong And Regular Heartbeat Echoed Throughout The Examination Room.

Zach couldn’t move. He couldn’t breathe. He met Mallory’s gaze, and they exchanged a long, intimate look. Her eyes were suspiciously bright, and he knew she was close to tears. He felt a fierce protective urge swell in his chest. He had to take care of her and the baby. He had to. When he finally found his voice again, it was thick with emotion.

“Is the heartbeat supposed to be that fast?” he asked the doctor.

“Oh, yes. Your baby is perfectly normal,” the doctor replied.

Zach exchanged a brief glance with Mallory that dared her to say that it wasn’t his baby. She didn’t say anything. She couldn’t have spoken if her life depended on it. She was listening to the thrilling sound of her baby’s heartbeat.

And she had shared it with Zach.
