“Have you gone to the doctor?”
With a nod, she said, “Yep.”
“What did they say?”
“Can you grab my purse? I dropped it on the way in.”
Kissing her on the forehead, I replied, “Of course. Let me go get it.”
I came back with her purse and set it next to her. She dug around and pulled out a little yellow envelope that had my name on it and handed it to me.
“What’s this?”
Sitting up, Hollie pulled her legs up and rested her chin on her knees. The color slowly started to come to her beautiful face. She grinned and said, “Open it.”
I shot a curious look in her direction, to which she responded by motioning at the envelope. “Just open it, will you?”
I slid my finger under the flap, pulled out the card, and opened it. I stared at what was inside of it for what felt like forever, then I turned back to her and watched as a tear traveled down her cheek.
“Hollie.”
Her hand came up to her mouth to hold back her sob.
I dropped the card and piece of paper that was inside and pulled her to me and went to kiss her.
“I have to brush my teeth! I threw up, Lucas!”
Ignoring the way she kept trying to avoid my mouth, I cupped her face and stared into her eyes.
“A baby.”
She nodded and more tears slipped free. “A baby.”

Lucas took a job in Ireland. Hollie stayed back in Salem while Lucas went ahead to get started with work and find them a place to live. Hollie surprised Lucas by coming to Ireland early. She then surprised Lucas once again (after getting sick) with the news that they’re having a baby.
Now…let’s pick up where we left off!
Hollie
I stared into Lucas’s caramel eyes as he repeated for the fourth time, “A baby?”
Laughing, I nodded. “Can you only say that one word?”
Lucas blinked several times and then shook his head. “We’re having a baby?”
“Okay, you added on a few words that time,” I deadpanned.
“How?”
I raised my brows and gave him a look.
“No, I knowhow.I thought you were on the pill.”
“I am, but nothing is one hundred percent. I’ve never missed any and I wasn’t on any medicine that would affect it, so I guess it’s just part of our plan.” I drew my lower lip between my teeth before I asked, “Are you upset?”
