Paige laughed as the weight of the world lifted from her shoulders. “Not sure there’s going to be one but why not?”
She smiled the entire way back home and couldn’t keep it out of her voice as she called the office to speak with her father.
“What is going on Paige?” Cord asked as soon as they answered.
“Hello to you too Dad. I’m sorry for just taking off but I got a phone call from the police saying someone had broken into my place, but they couldn’t tell if anything had been taken and needed me to come check on things.”
“Is everything okay Paige?” Sam questioned.
“Fine, some kids broke in, but I guess the alarm scared them off. So, since I’m here I’m going to grab some of my stuff and then drive back. I’ll leave in the morning and should be there by late Sunday.”
“Why drive? Paige what did the doctor say about your ankle?” Joel stated.
“Took off the cast and replaced it with a boot. I want my own car, that’s why I’m going to drive back.”
“If you want your car, just hire someone to bring it out. You don’t need to be sitting behind the wheel for seventeen hours.”
“Joel…fine. I actually have a couple employees who can pack up my place and bring my stuff home. I’ll call them tomorrow and have them do it while I fly back…will that work?”
“Are you moving home Paige?” Sam inquired.
“For now, unless you all have objections to that.”
“None from me Paige,” Joel said, “the sooner you get home the better baby.”
“Enough of the mushy stuff we have work to do,” Cord chuckled patting Joel on the back.
“Well, I’ll let you all go while I figure out what to bring with me right now,” she stated.
“Get home soon Paige,” Joel told her, and her body flushed with warmth.
She prayed he’d be happy with her news and that he wouldn’t kill her for wasting so much time.

“You’d tell me if there was something wrong, wouldn’t you Paige?” Caleb inquired as he sat the helicopter down.
“Why would you think something’s wrong Caleb?”
“Oh, I don’t know, you leave one doctor’s office and go directly to another. What’s going on Paige.”
“I didn’t have you fly me to Maine for a doctor’s appointment Caleb. We went there because I needed to check on the house.”
“What was DC then?”
“Okay…I did go see a doctor, but I promise there’s nothing wrong. I’m good, great really.”
“Paige, what’s going on?”
“You cannot breathe a word of this to anyone and I meananyonegot it?”
“How many of your secrets have I kept?”
“Basically all of them…I’m pregnant.”
“But I thought…never mind none of my business,” he said clearing his throat. “Congratulations I guess.”
“Surprise beyond belief is more like it. I didn’t think I could have kids you know that, but it seems I inherited my father’s inability to listen. Now I just have to tell Joel.”
