I nodded, but my mind started to speed ahead, trusting Amber to get all the info about prenatal vitamins and follow-up appointments.
My baby. How was this all going to work? I was clueless just thinking about how to change a diaper or deal with midnight feedings.
Add the thought of leaving my baby with a stranger while I worked made my hackles rise.
“So, I think that’s everything. Do you have any questions?”
Amber nudged me and I made an effort to tune back in. “I’m sorry?”
“Do you have any more questions for me?” Dr. Walker asked.
Was she kidding? I had so many questions they were caught in a bottleneck as they tried to wedge their way through my brain. I opened my mouth and closed it again and just shook my head.
“Not right now,” I finally managed to get out. “But I’m sure once this all sinks in, I’ll have a million for you.”
She smiled and patted my arm. “You can feel free to call me any time. I know all this must be overwhelming.”
“Thanks for everything, Dr. Walker.”
“You’re welcome. I’ll see you soon.” She stepped out of the room, closing the door behind her.
I let out a breath I didn’t even know I was holding and turned to Amber. “I am awake, right?”
Amber gathered me tight in her arms and rocked me for a second. “You are, sweetie. But I promise it’ll all be fine.”
I nodded my head against her shoulder, waiting for panic or fear or elation or…anything to move through me. But at that point, I was more than a little shell-shocked.
Amber pulled back a little bit and looked down into my face. “What do you want to do now?”
I think she meant right that second. Like did I want to go home or go somewhere I could stuff myself with hot beignets and caramel macchiatos until the whole world faded into one giant sugar-coated blur.
But instead, I answered her with a sureness that surprised even me.
“I want to find my baby’s father. I need Mac.”

Mac
Istepped into our brand new Kratos Securities offices and couldn’t fight back a grin. Sawyer’s mate had worked wonders. When she found the warehouse space a couple of months ago, it was dank and musty. I’d thought Sawyer was being led around by his dick when she convinced him to put an offer in on it.
But Trinity, who made it clear she didn’t appreciate the implication that she led Sawyer around by his dick, was happy to make me eat my words. Almost single-handedly she’d transformed the space, hiring contractors to clean, put up walls, and upgrade the plumbing and electrical.
The dirty place now held a spectacular reception area, more than enough offices for each of us, a bathroom, and a conference space. She’d also added a gym, a kitchen, a locker room with two showers, a small armory, and an intelligence center, all in an employees-only section in the back half of the building. I was beginning to see the reason for Sawyer’s devotion.
The woman was an angel and genius all in one.
As I stepped into the reception area, another obvious reason presented itself. Trinity bent at the waist, ass in the air, as she sorted through a stack of files piled on the floor in front of a low filing cabinet.
Scanning the rest of the room, I found I wasn’t the only one appreciating the view. Sawyer stood in the open doorway of his office, his eyes glued to his woman. His need for her clear as the crystal blue sky.
I shook my head and couldn’t help but smirk at him. “Soldier, lock it down.”
Sawyer’s gaze shot to me and he scowled. His obvious annoyance only made me grin more.
Trinity stood and turned to us, her movement drawing our attention. “Hey, Mac.”
“Looks good in here, Trinity. You did an amazing job.”
