His brows rose. “In a couple of weeks.”
“Nope,” she said. “I lost my mucus plug this morning. Labor should happen in the next couple days.”
He cursed. “Why didn’t you tell me before we left?”
“Because you would not have brought me to Whitefish. And I have to be with my family.”
“You are one dogged woman,” he said.
“And I hope and pray you love me, regardless.”
Shaking his head, he grinned. “I love you, Amelia. I love our child. And I’m going to talk to your father about us getting married.”
She started to laugh. “I think it’s a little late. But I think he’ll be thrilled since we have a child coming.”
“I love you so much. I have since I met you on that cruise. Please don’t ever leave me again,” he whispered.
“Never,” she said. “Now, let’s go in and tell my family that we have a child coming any time.”
Taking her by the arm, he helped her up the sidewalk.
The front door opened and an older woman stood there staring. “Amelia? Oh my God, honey, why didn’t you tell us?”
She grinned. “It’s a long, complicated story, Mom. I want you to meet my fiancé and before you get upset with him for not marrying me before now, you have to hear our story.”
The woman glared at him. “Come in, young man. I hope you two have a good explanation.”
They glanced at one another and then smiled. “You’re not going to believe it when we tell you. But because of this storm, we found each other again.”
“And she’s not getting away this time,” Ryan said gazing at her.
She could see the love shimmering in his gaze and she knew she’d found her forever man.

Thank you for reading.When I thought of this series, I knew I wanted a pregnant woman to have a baby on Christmas Day. But I worried about a nine month pregnant woman having sex, so I did a survey of my friends to see how many had sex in the last month of pregnancy. Surprising, most of them did. One or two were an exception. Hopefully, I did their sex scene well enough that it was believable. Again, thank you for reading.

CHAPTER19
ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS
Noah Baker stood at the rental car counter with his best friend and glared at the woman behind the computer. He refused to let her ruin this trip.
For the first time in years, he was going to spend his Christmas holidays with his father and his father’s new wife. After all the crazy they had experienced over the years with his mother, he was hoping that this time his father had found happiness. “I rented a four-wheel drive vehicle just in case of a storm.”
“Sir, we have your vehicle ready, but what I’m telling you is that you are not going anywhere. The highway between here and Whitefish has been closed. I’m suggesting that you call this hotel right now and book a room before they’re all sold out.”
Stunned, he glanced at Hannah. Had she heard what this woman was telling them? The roads were closed? Why would they close the roads? And hotel rooms selling out? It wasn’t like a rock concert was in town or anything.
“What do you mean sold out?”
“The biggest storm of the season is expected to hit this afternoon. Right now, there are still hotel rooms available. Soon they will be filled with travelers getting off the highway, unable to go anywhere. You can take your vehicle, but you’re not getting out of town.”
She spoke to him, a doctor, like he was an idiot. This would be his first Christmas with his father since the elder remarried and he wanted to get to Whitefish. But it looked like they were going to be delayed getting there.
Hannah had taken out her cell phone and called the hotel the girl recommended. Surprised, he watched her level-headed way of taking charge when he seemed reluctant.
