Chapter 14
Eve lay on the table looking at the monitor. "Well, how's the baby?"
Summerset smiled. "He or she is doing just fine. So are you Eve."
"That's good to hear." Roarke sighed.
It had been a rough week. The wallpaper lead had yielded some clues. The wallpaper led the team to an upscale apartment on fifth avenue. There was evidence that Webster had been holed up there.
Unfortunately he was once more in the wind. Tomorrow Barrow would be back on planet. Roarke helped Eve sit up while Smerset turned off the monitors. He was worried as well. Tomorrow his wife would once more be face-to-face with the man who nearly killed her a year ago.
"So there was no problems?" Eve asked worriedly.
Summerset saw the worry. For the last few nights she had been having nightmares. Dreaming of Webster finding out about the baby, of him and Barrow killing Roarke and Lori.
"Your stress levels are a little high, but that's to be expected given what's going on." Summerset answered.
Eve seemed to relax a little. "Hopefully after tomorrow this whole mess will be finished."
"I hope so too." Summerset agreed.
As Summerset put away the equipment, Roarke led Eve from the room. A guest suite next to their bedroom had been converted into a maternity suite for Eve. The night they found out she was pregnant Roarke had promised Eve he would be at every check-up. The couple entered their bedroom and moved to the sitting area.
"Um, shouldn't you be going back to work?" Eve asked when Roarke sat beside her.
"No. I cleared my schedule today and tomorrow." Roarke answered pulling her into his arms.
"You what?"
"Eve, all this week I've watched you. Watched as you prepare to face Barrow tomorrow. Then at night I hear what your nightmares do to you. I'm going with you tomorrow. I'll be in Observation with Jack and Harrison. Feeney, McNab, Baxter and Trueheart will be in the room with you."
As much as Eve wanted to be angry at him, she couldn't. She felt all her fears and doubts melt. In a flash her arms were around his neck and her lips pressed to his. Roarke's arms slid around her as she moved to straddle him.
Eve kept the kiss slow. Though she could feel the lust heating her blood, she wanted things slow. Her hands slid from his neck, over his shoulders and to his chest. Slowly she began unbuttoning his crisp white shirt.
"Eve."
"I love you Roarke."
"Shall we move to the bed a ghrį?"
"A good idea ace."
Adjusting his grip, Roarke stood and carried Eve from the sitting area to the bed. Gently he eases her onto the bed. One look in her whiskey colored eyes told him all he needed to know. She wanted him to make love to her slowly. To make it last as long as they both could stand.
"I love you Eve. So much."
"I love you too Roarke."
********************************************************
Hours later Roarke lay awake holding Eve securely in his arms. He looked down and studied her as moonlight danced over her. She looked peaceful at the moment. He only hoped her nightmares would stay at bay. At least for tonight.
"I love you Eve. I will protect you and our baby. I'll protect our family." Roarke whispered as Eve snuggled closer.
