He blows out a deep breath. “What is it, Reese?”

“I need you to get Walker to meet me. Will you?” I hold my breath.

“Go on. I’m listening,” he mutters, bringing a smile to my face. I explain my plan, waiting with bated breath to see if he would go for it. “Are you sure? You’re not going to hurt him?”

“Well, yeah. If this works, I plan on breakin’ the bed with him.” I giggle.

“Eww, I don’t care,” he grumbles.

“Are you gonna help me?”

“After I wash my ears out.” He sighs. “About ten?”

“That’s perfect. I need to call Ava and have her get them ready. Love you, Mars Bar.”

“Love you, Reesie Cup.” Alden hangs up and I squeal.

Ava had to pull some strings, but she got me an appointment. I sit in the waiting room, trotting my leg, hoping they don’t call my name before he gets here. A sound at the door makes my heart skip. When Walker saunters through it, it thrums to life.

His eyes flicker around the room, spotting two seats, one beside me and the other across from me. When he glances at me, I pat the seat beside me. I watch his lips part and his brows narrow, marring his beautiful face.

“Please,” I whisper.

He searches my eyes. The glistening must confirm for him that it’s okay. I’m okay. He takes the seat, placing his elbows on his knees. He’s wearing my favorite blue suit. Damn, he’s gorgeous. I squeeze my thighs together.

“Are you all right?”

“Oh, yeah. This is for my ultrasound. Didn’t Alden tell you?” My breath hitches when he turns his gaze to me.

He shakes his head. “No. He said you were here and I might want to come.” I’m gonna kill Alden.

“I’m sorry.”

His eyes flicker to mine. “It’s fine.”

Before I can say anything, they call my name. “Morgan?” Walker’s forehead wrinkles. What was that about? I stand, looking at him.

“Coming?”

“I’ll let you get settled and be in right behind you.” He stands, shoving his hands in his pockets.

“All right.” I guess he wants to give me privacy since I need to undress.

I slide on the table after adorning the gorgeous gown offered to me. A tap on the door draws my attention. “Come in.”

Walker steps through. “Is this okay?” I nod. He’s being so careful not to upset me or overstep.

“Please, don’t be so fearful.” I take a deep breath. “After this, we have a ton to talk about. Can we?”

“I’ll need to cancel my appointments.” He glances at me. “How long?”

“Can you clear it,” I answer with hooded eyes. His flash to mine from his phone. They burn me with pent-up desire.

He studies me, cocking his brow. “Are you sure?”

“Yep,” I breathe.

He stands, sauntering toward me. “I have something I want to give you.” He pulls a paper from his suit pocket. “It’s for the baby.”
