“You’re pregnant.”
Caleb’s heart started to pound as he said the words. Joy and fear assailed him at once. He’d always dreamed of having a child. But not now…not with killers after him.
He could see the deep vulnerability in Shannon’s shadowed eyes. She hugged herself, then rubbed her arms as if she were freezing. “I want to know what you’re going to do,” she said.
There was no doubt in his mind. “I’m going to be the best father a child can have.”
“So you’re planning on being there for him or her?” Her tone was icy. “Alive?”
So that was where this was going, he thought. His undercover work. He looked at her and tried to talk, but he didn’t know how to tell her he loved her and that he didn’t want her taken away from him. The baby, either.
“It’s not me I’m worried about,” he finally said. “It’s you.”
Her eyes widened.
“If the men I’m after find out about you and the…baby, then you’ll be their first target.”
