Her lashes lifted as she stared at him. “You’re not going to run my life.”
“As long as you’re eating properly and taking care of yourself and our baby, I’ll stay out of it. You won’t even know I’m there.”
“You’re a funny guy.”
“Hilarious.” His hands gentled as he bent his head to kiss her slowly, firing her desire.
“Are we done?”
“Not by a long shot.” She warned. “This discussion isn’t over. There are-“ He swallowed the rest of it as he seized her lips.

Michelle clapped her hands in delight, her golden-brown eyes gleaming. “This calls for a celebration.” She turned to look at her daughter who was standing by the window looking out. “You didn’t tell me.”
“We wanted to be sure.”
“Are you moving in with Brady?”
“He forced my hand.” She sent him a thin smile. “I hope he knows what he’s doing.”
“I’m pleased you children are working things out.” Sydney commented from his position next to Michelle.
As soon as they’d left the doctor’s office, they’d called both parents and requested a meeting. Michelle had suggested her place and Sydney had told them he’d meet there for lunch.
“We’re not children.” Macayla closed her eyes briefly and held up a hand. “I’m a little on edge.”
“We had the usual argument while we were leaving the clinic.”
“Which clinic is it?” Michelle asked.
“Hillside.”
“Excellent choice.” Sydney nodded at Macayla in approval.
“Your son proceeded to upset me by insisting I move today.”

“I also told you that I’m free for the day and we could go back and do it together.”
“You’re pushing things. I already said yes, under duress. Why the hell can’t you wait a couple weeks?”
“You’re not putting this off.” He pushed out of the comfortable blue and white chair to walk over to her. “This is what you do, Macayla. I already told you I want you with me and that means starting now.”
“Well to hell with you!” She blazed. “I’m my own woman and I don’t answer to you.”
“The fact that you’re carrying my baby says otherwise.” He snapped back. “You have a very hard time taking care of yourself- “
“So what? It’s now your job?” They were so caught up in the argument that they’d forgotten the other people in the room who were looking at them with avid interest.
“I’m making it mine. I’m not going another night without you inside my apartment, and that’s final.”
They stood there staring holes into each other before she turned around and stormed out of the room.
“Oh, crap.” Dragging a hand through his hair he closed his eyes wearily.
