Once I pressed one more kiss on her forehead, I straightened, then headed to Mackenzie, and then locked eyes with the man that stood there.
“How’d you know?” I asked him.
He looked around me, and then sighed, “Had eyes on her. Got some shit to admit to. Tell her first.”
And then… without another word, he slipped around me, walked into her room, pulled up a chair and took a seat beside my woman.
Something in me told me not to push.
And being that I had always trusted my gut, I didn’t push it.
Not yet.
Instead, I let Mackenzie take me to the NICU.
Chapter 18
Savannah
Opening my eyes, it took a moment for them to register what they were seeing.
What the hell?
Where the hell was I?
“Zeke?” I called out.
And then winced when a pain in my belly made itself known.
The baby!?
“You’re okay, Savannah. Promise,” a gritty, deep rasp of a voice said.
Turning my head, I felt my jaw go slack when I saw the last person I would ever expect to see…. in a… in a hospital room?
Just what the hell happened and where the hell was I?
He cleared his throat, and then said, “You’re at Saint Charlotte. You’re okay. Baby is okay. Zeke is with it.”
I nodded, and then swallowed, then gritted out, “Water.”
A straw was at my lips in the next instance.
“What are you doing here?” I asked Grimm.
“Your mother cheated on your father years ago. Had me when they were off for the first time. Years before she trapped your father with you. Been looking for you ever since I found out about you. Saw you at the clubhouse that day. Was shocked. When you bumped into me, took a strand of your hair. You never knew. Sent it off. You’re my half-sister,” he told me.
I blinked, then really took in Grimm’s features, and then nodded. We had the same eyes, and the same mouth, “How’d you know?”
He shrugged, “Look just like her. Did some digging. Confirmed it.”
“I always wanted a brother or a sister,” I said to him with a smile on my face.
And I saw a semblance of a smile grace his face, then I gasped, “The baby, he or she is really okay?”
Grimm nodded, “Yeah. Last I heard, the baby is breathing on its own. Zeke’s been in there with it. Promised him I wouldn’t tell you the sex.”
“Think I can see him or her now? I’m ready to meet them,” I asked him with hope blossoming in my chest.
