“Ah, dad?” March stared as his father stood. Not that he wasn’t ready to end the meeting as well, but it was out of character for his father to do so. Augustus never ended meetings early.

“Something important just came up. I’ll be leaving now. Good work everyone,” Augustus said as Stephen moved ahead of him and opened the door. “March, take your brother home. Next time, I want him awake and sober.”

“Yeah, dad.” March rubbed his temples, looking at the shell that was once his brother. He stood and circled the table. “Come one, Jules. Let’s get you home. Work day is over.”

Julius muttered groggily as his brother pulled him to his feet. Though he looked asleep, he was surprisingly aware. How could he sleep when Macey was out there? Their baby would soon make its entrance into the world and he still hadn’t found them. There had to be a way.

Macey was too responsible to neglect her own care, let alone her baby. She wouldn’t shu

    Leaving off further insults, Victoria paused long enough to toss money at their driver before returning to Macey’s side and helping her to the entrance. Macey winced as she walked. She wasn’t certain if she could say she was in any great amount of pain, but she felt bloated and uncoordinated. Luckily, as soon as they entered, the forewarned maternity ward was ready to receive her, offering a wheelchair. Macey sank into it gratefully as Victoria wheeled her to the front desk to check in. “Papiers d’identité?” the nurse at the desk asked.[1] Macey nodded, signaling Victoria to open the end pocket of the duffle where her passport and ID had been stashed in the event their departure to the hospital was less than organized. Somehow, she wasn’t terribly surprised it had come to this, though the wild ride was certainly not part of her plan. “Oh good, I didn’t miss you two!” Macey turned in surprise to see Paul hurrying to join them, saying

    Macey jerked awake, blinking as her gaze landed on her attending nurse, “Excusez moi, mademoiselle.”[1] Macey smiled, watching as the nurse continued her rounds. She wondered when she had fallen asleep. In fact, she didn’t even remember drifting off. “You’ve been out an hour or so,” Victoria answered her unasked question. “Don’t worry, I’ve been keeping an eye on them.” “Thanks,” Macey chuckled. A smile briefly crossed her face before her expression suddenly fell. “Paul said he was going to grab a bite to eat and come back since this is likely to take a while.” “Right.” “Macey? Something wrong? Macey, why are you crying?” Macey bit her lip, feeling the tear trickle down her cheek. Victoria immediately left her chair and came to sit on the edge of the bed. She quietly dried her tears as tenderly as a mother. “Macey, you can tell me. Didn’t we say we would tell each othe

    “Macey? Oh she’s asleep.” The male voice roused Victoria from her own nap. Looking up, she saw a rather elderly gentleman shadowed by another at the door. It took her a moment, but she eventually recognized Stephen, which meant the other was Macey’s infamous father-in-law. Without a word of explanation, the gentleman entered and immediately walked to the bed. Victoria shifted ready to protest, but held herself in check as the man gently patted Macey’s head and smoothed her hair as he fondly gazed at her. “How long has it been since the doctor was here?” the man asked without looking up. When Victoria didn’t answer, he glanced at her. “How long?” “Fifteen minutes. She’s still only about six centimeters,” Victoria said. The man glanced at his watch and sighed. At least he hadn’t missed it. Patting Macey’s hand, he moved to another chair and sat down, waving off his assistant who quietly went to a corner until needed.

    Five Years Later “Julius!” Julius sighed as he looked up from his paperwork to see his self-proclaimed fiancée stride into his office. The woman didn’t know the meaning of the word knock among many others he could mention. Katherine Trent was everything one expected of an heiress: blonde, tall and well-endowed. Her parents were hotel moguls worth several million, but still far short of the DaLair family. Yet with their support, Katherine had never needed to work a day in her life. Instead, she spent her time traveling the best social circles, looking for her perfect groom. She found it in Julius. He was everything she wanted: rich, powerful and handsome. “Julius! Look, I have found the perfect venue for our wedding!” Scowling, he accepted the brochure, seeing it was for Twin Peaks Country Club. Even for members, the reception hall would cost a million to reserve at such short notice. He grunted. “I th

    One moment of weakness and his life was sliding out from under him. Pouring another drink, Julius returned to his desk. But really it started falling apart long before that. Hesitating, he unlocked the bottom drawer to remove a small velvet-lined box and a folder. Taking another sip of his drink, he opened the folder. On top was a pack of papers: divorce papers. Lying on top of that was a short note written in a careful scrawl. He was taken back to that night six years ago.* * * Slam! “Macey! How dare you ignore my calls!” Julius shouted as he stumbled into the apartment. “Macey! Don’t ignore me! We’re not done talking!” He made it through the entry, past the kitchen, tossing his keys and phone on the counter without really seeing it or the items left on it. Julius skirted the living room as he headed toward the bedroom. If he had been sober he might have realized it was too quiet and no one would be able to ignore his drunken rantin

    “Chris, shut up!” Julius snapped. He was not in the mood for the usual antics of the director of his company’s IT department. “Okay geez. Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed.” “Just shut it. I need you to track Macey’s phone and tell me where she is.” “You realize that is illegal, right?” “I don’t care! She’s not answering and I need to find her. Can you do it?” “What’s the number?” “646-555-4547.” Julius ran a hand through his hair. “Just so you know, I’m doing this because she might be in the gutter somewhere because that will hold up in court.” Julius let out an audible groan. She couldn’t be injured. Dear God, let her be okay. Out loud, he demanded, “Well?” “Hold on. This takes a little time, even if you do it legally. Do you know if her phone is on?” “It rang before going to voicemail,” Julius headed to the bedroom to change, switching

    “Julius, you look like hell.” With a sigh, he turned to face an older version of himself. March was ten years his senior, and growing up the brothers had been quite close. Their connection remained to this day. Standing next to each other, it was not difficult to see the family resemblance: sandy blonde hair, gray eyes, prominent nose, chin and jaw. They could almost be twins. Julius gave his brother a warning look before sipping his whiskey. All around them were people dressed in fine suits and summer dresses despite the lingering chill. The air had a party feel with balloons and even a DJ as they crowded the wide, stone patio surrounding the pool of the DaLair family estate. A large sign declared: Happy Birthday, Augustus! At sixty-five, the DaLair’s reigning patriarch was as domineering as ever. Despite losing his much loved wife to cancer thirty years prior, Augustus soldiered on with a sharp mind and cutting wit. He was known to be ru

    “Okay, you’re right. I don’t. But you might have to face facts. You might not ever see her again.” “Don’t you think I know that? Do you think it makes it easier?” “No. I don’t imagine it does. Is that why you put up with Katherine?” “She keeps the others away.” “And what about the wedding she’s planning?” Julius grunted, not offering a genuine answer. He had no plans to marry her. In fact, he had no plans to attend the function at all. Surely, that would send her a clear message. March studied his brother. It was hard to believe it had come to this. Like Julius, he grew up with Macey and considered her his little sister. He couldn’t remember exactly when he realized Macey had developed a crush on Julius, but he watched as she struggled to keep her feelings to herself while Julius remained oblivious. Like any teenager, Julius dated several girls and the hurt in Macey’s gaze as he ignored her was palpabl
