Оглавление“Have you never heard of morning sickness?”
Ash stared at the teenager. “Emily, what are you talking about?”
The girl rolled her eyes in that expressive way she had. “Like anyone with half a brain couldn’t have figured it out. There’s going to be a baby! Your baby Mel’s baby!”
“Oh my God.” Ash wondered if this was how it felt to be in shock.
“Now I suppose you’re going to hyperventilate?” Emily snatched her milk glass off the table and stalked to the sink. “Get a grip, for cripes’ sake. People have babies all the time. Especially when they fall in love. If you can’t figure out what to do next, well, I give up.”
“Next?” He was supposed to do something. But what? Buy insurance? Baby formula? Cigars?
“Next. As in, go after Mel and make nice.” She rolled her eyes again. “Do I need to write a script here?” She took Ash by the arm and turned him in the direction Mel had run. “Go. Now. And repeat after me, ‘Mel, I love you.’ And work on your delivery while you’re looking for her.”
All Ash could do was follow orders and try to steady his heart.
Melinda and a baby. Could he really be that lucky?
