Thank You so much everyone for your great reviews. I had no idea people would like this story so much. And I have decided to start writing my historical drama. I will post it up when I am done with this story and Jason's Bride. I want to say thank you to Caraluna. Even though you told me that you don't GH anymore thank you for still taking the time to review my story. And also sorry everyone who didnt want Liz preggers but I decided to make her pregnant. It will make sense with the ending I have in mind.
Chapter 5
The red line on the test strip blurred, then sharpened into focus. She was absolutely, positively, undeniably pregnant.
A baby. She was going to have a baby!
Instead of the expected dismay, a thrill of excitement shimmered through her. Wow. She was going to be a mother! The thought overwhelmed her, making the room spin slightly.
That sentiment was quickly replaced with a sense of urgency — she needed to make plans! A new place to live, something with a nice fenced-in yard with plenty of neighborhood kids to play with, yet close to a good school…
She had completely forgotten about Jason, until he rapped on the door.
"Elizabeth? Are you okay in there?"
Tossing the kit in the garbage, she wiped her fantasy from her mind. She stood and opened the door.
"Well?"
Tense, he stood, his dark, compelling gaze locked on hers.
She had the strangest urge to walk into his arms, to bury her face in the comfort of his shoulder. To share the miracle of this tiny life they'd created.
The trauma ICU wasn't the place for this, especially when she had a million things to do. Briskly, she nodded.
"Yes."
"Oh God." His unexpected smile dazzled her.
"I'm going to be a father."
"Shh, keep it down."
Good grief, she hadn't even considered Jason's role in all of this. Or how she felt about him being back in her life. With a wince she glanced around to make sure no one had overheard him.
"We'll have to discuss this later. I have patients to take care of."
She moved as if to go past him, but he caught her arm in his warm grip.
"Elizabeth, I'll be here for you. You're not going through this alone."
The prick of tears had to be from hormones, because she wasn't the sappy sort. She blinked them back and lifted her chin.
"I appreciate the sentiment, but we barely know each other."
His grip on her arm tightened, then reluctantly slid away. As she turned to head toward the central nurse's station, she heard him say,
"We will, Elizabeth. Trust me, we will."
Sorry for the short chapters but since I am updating 2 stories at the same time its harder to get the juices flowing for 1 story enough for a really long chapter.
To be continued...
