“I promise.” She kissed him again before she stood. “I already have a feeling Leo’s going to be a mother hen.”

Fiona gave a quick knock on Leo’s open door as she walked into his office.

He turned with his phone at his ear, wearing slim-fit plaid pants, a short-sleeve white button-down that accentuated his solid build, and a pair of black loafers. He held up his finger as he stood by the wall of windows, signaling for one minute. “That sounds good,” he said to whoever he was speaking to. “I’ll check in with you again tomorrow. Okay. Bye.”

He rolled his eyes as he hung up. “Remind me that I’m never saying yes to an event like this again.”

She grinned. “I’m not promising you that because this is going to do amazing things for your career.”

He nodded as he leaned his butt against his desk. “You may have a point there. But I’m taking a week off after we finish this.”

Fiona winced, feeling a swift wave of guilt for leaving Leo to deal with the matrimonial madness alone. “I’m sorry I’ve been gone for most of the day.”

He waved away her apology. “Just tell me you’re okay.”

She nodded, closing the distance between them, handing him the sonogram pictures. “I’m fibroid-free.”

Leo’s eyes grew huge as he looked at the first image. “This couldn’t possibly be what I think it is.”

She nodded again, blinking back tears as Leo did. “We heard the heartbeat, Leo. I’m seven weeks.”

Leo stood, pulling her into a hug. “Fi, this is amazing! You’re going to be the best mom, and Felix and I are going to be insanely great uncles.”

“I know you will be,” she said, holding on to him.

He drew away, looking at the pictures again. “This is the cutest little blob I’ve ever seen, which makes sense because this kid is coming from one hell of a gene pool.”

She laughed as she rolled her eyes. “I’m well aware you think Cam is a major hottie.”

Leo waggled his brow. “You’re not half-bad yourself.”

She chuckled as she shook her head.

His grin faded as he leaned against the desk again. “I couldn’t be happier for you, Fi, but I’m also sad because I know this means you’re leaving me.”

She sighed as she nodded. Because leaving Leo and Felix was the only part of moving that hurt her heart. She and Leo had been fast friends from the moment she landed in London. He’d taken her under his wing and helped her thrive. “They need me. Even before we found out about the baby, Cam asked me to go back to Vermont with him. He wants us to raise Brady together.”

Leo captured her hand. “Your own family, Fi. With the man of your dreams. Everything you’ve always wanted.”

She nodded again. “It’s hard to believe all of this is happening.”

“I’m sure Simone will understand.”

She raised her brow because they both knew that wasn’t true. Simone expected one hundred percent dedication from her associates and staff. Distractions were not permitted. “I’m sure she won’t. But it doesn’t matter.”

“She’ll make you sign the non-compete.”

Fiona nodded. “I can live without event planning for the next six months.”

“What will you do?”

She shrugged because she had yet to think past the immediate. Everything was happening so fast. “I have plenty to keep me busy. Brady will be settling into school, and we’ll need to get the baby’s room ready. Ellie can always use a hand at the office. Then we’ll see what we see.”

“It’ll be great.”

She beamed. “It will be.”

“Go talk to our boss. Then let’s talk about this wedding we need to pull off in less than forty-eight hours.” But Leo pulled her into another hug. “Congratulations, Fiona. No one deserves this more than you.”
