Chuck glanced at PJ standing with her back to him. “How was it? Your pregnancy, the delivery? I want to know.”

“I did fine.”

“I would have been there…”

“I know you would have. If you could have.”

“Why didn’t you tell me?” Chuck tipped Charlie into the crook of his arm and stared down into her little face.

“Your focus needed to be on staying alive,” PJ said. “What was the point in telling you?”

His anger stirred again. “The point is, I’m Charlie’s father.”

“And if there had been complications, what could you have done from Afghanistan?”

Chuck sighed. “Nothing.”

A long silence stretched between them.

“I won’t try to keep you from seeing Charlie,” PJ said.

Chuck liked the strong, determined woman she’d grown into in the year he’d been away, and found himself even more attracted to her than before. But he wasn’t as sure about where they stood, or if he trusted her with his heart.
