chapter 19

TRAVIS The last few days have been rough. Although Paige’s mother was hospitalized for three days, she’s back home now resting. I got to meet her and she is a lovely woman. She took a particular liking to me, unlike the rest of her family. She and I got on like a house on fire. She doesn’t seem to care much about our age difference or any of the other rational reasons why Paige and I shouldn’t be together. She’s just happy that her daughter is happy. It makes me feel good that I have an ally in the family. Maybe with time she’ll convince the others. I’m expecting a call from Paige so when my phone rings and I’m in the bathroom, I literally run to my bedside table to answer it. However, it’s not Paige. The name that flashes across the screen causes my spine to stiffen. I answer. “Felicity?” Why is my ex-wife calling me? “Yes, Trav, it’s me,” her raspy voice hits me for the first time in two years. “What—Why—?” “Can I see you? There’s something I need to tell you.” I’m silent

chapter 20

PAIGEI’m doing it tonight. I’m telling Travis about the baby. All of my apprehension about where we stand as a couple has simply melted away over the last week. He has been my rock throughout my mother’s recent health problems. He hasn’t faltered, not even once. Even with Dad, Lily and Matt giving him the stink eye every time they get the opportunity.Travis has come to show me that he really is a standup guy. If there’s anyone I want to raise a baby with it’s him. I know there’s a lot to figure out, but I think in time we will.I’m confident about the decision I’ve made, but that doesn’t mean I’m not still nervous. I’m about 99.99% sure that he will take the news in stride and step up. However, there is that 0.01% of me that thinks this could go any way. People sometimes surprise you. I just hope this isn’t one of those times.I can’t help but be excited as I stand in the elevator on my way up to Travis’s penthouse. I miss him. It’s been two days since I’ve seen him and it’s like I’

chapter 21

TRAVIS Paige knows something is up. The woman is the farthest thing from stupid I’ve ever seen. That combined with me turning into a robot whenever I’m around her has tipped her off to the fact that I am hiding something from her. To her credit, she hasn’t pushed much, but I can tell it’s not going to be much longer before she puts her foot down. Even though I haven’t known her that long, one thing I know about Paige DeLisle is that she doesn’t suffer fools. So something has got to give. I need to tell her about TJ, but every time I try, the words just won’t come out. I don’t know how to say it. I’m so scared of losing her. I know she won’t hold this against me, but she may decide that she doesn’t want to get involved with someone who is parenting a toddler, and that would be fair. Another problem is that the longer I wait the worse it is because of how long I’ve waited. Long story short, my anxiety levels are through the roof. I have been avoiding Paige for pretty much the last

“Say it like what?”“As if that’s how I treat you.”“But you do.”“What?” She shifts back as if I just spat in her face.I massage my temples. “All this is coming out wrong. What I’m trying to say is that you are opinionated, and I like that. It’s just that not everyone takes well to that kind of an approach.”“I feel like you’re trying to backpedal now. First you use the word judgmental. Now you’re saying you meant opinionated. Travis, you aren’t an idiot. I think you meant judgmental, and after seeing my reaction you’ve decided to try and walk your comment back.”“You know what? I can’t do this right now. I don’t have the energy to fight with you and convince you of what I meant to say or didn’t mean to say.” I switch off the stove and walk out of the kitchen and over to my mantle where I keep my keys. I snatch my bike keys up and head for the door.“What? You’re just going to walk out and leave me here?”“Yeah, I am, because if I stay I’ll just end up saying more things that you’ll

chapter 23

PAIGEWhat the hell was all that about?That was such a stupid fight to have. Yeah, maybe I was being a little sensitive, but Travis? That was weird, right?The man is many things, but ineloquent isn’t one of them. It’s almost as if he said what he said to pick a fight with me.Is he trying to break up with me? It’s a question I’ve had for a couple of days now, but I keep pushing it out of my mind because I decided I was being paranoid. I dismissed it because of who he was prior to the last few weeks, but I can’t ignore what is in front of me now.First, he was emotionally distant. Then he was distant physically, claiming to be busy. I don’t know his net worth, but the man runs several companies worth a couple billion. He’s always been busy, but that’s never stopped him before. So what’s different now? Why has he been avoiding me this entire week? Then you add on what happened tonight and I’m starting to think he’s doing this on purpose.Is it something I did? Did I say something to p

chapter 24

TRAVISAs the elevator whisks me up to the penthouse, blood rushes to my ears the higher I go. My pulse is through the roof. I don’t know how Paige is going to take what I’m about to tell her, but I can’t keep dodging it.I let myself into my apartment and everything is still.“Paige?” I call out. No one answers.Maybe she’s gone.I walk over to the kitchen and see that her bag is where she put it down when she arrived earlier in the evening. So I walk into my bedroom, which is when I hear retching coming from my bathroom.I rush over and see Paige doubled over the toilet.I get on my knees and rub her back. “Paige…”She reaches behind her and pushes me away.“Get off me,” she says in between heaves.I fall back and land on my ass. I guess she’s still angry at me for leaving the way I did.I climb up to my feet and consider apologizing, but this isn’t the time for it. So I just stand there and watch until she finishes emptying her stomach into the toilet.When it looks like she’s done

chapter 25

“Because it’s the truth. You don’t want to date a man with a child and you’re blowing this out of proportion to use it as an excuse to end things.”She rolls her eyes and walks over to where she left her purse and pulls it off the table. “The fact that you would even say that to my face is so insulting.”“Then prove me wrong. Stay. Let’s talk about this.”She stares me down for a few seconds, then says, “You want me to stay? Okay, I’ll stay. Let’s talk. By the way, you should know I’m pregnant.”My vision blurs momentarily. “What?”“I am pregnant. I’ve known for a while now, and I’ve been trying to tell you, but never found the right moment.”“How long—” my voice catches. I clear my throat and try again. “How long have you known?”“I found out before we left for Paris.”“Paris? You’ve known for a month and didn’t tell me?”“Well, I wanted to wait and see where we stood before I told you. Judging by everything that has happened tonight, I think that was wise.”“Paige, that’s not fair.”

chapter 26

PAIGEThis is all too much. I do not know how much more of this I can take. Life keeps coming at me fast and I don’t know how to deal. I’m barely keeping my head above water.The past two weeks have honestly been the most difficult of my life. It’s true what they say. You don’t know what you have until you lose it. I wasn’t aware of just how much I loved Travis until our relationship ended. When I ended things with him I knew it would hurt, but not this much.I’ve spent every night since crying myself to sleep. I love him so much, but I don’t think continuing our relationship would be the smartest thing to do. It’s not that he has a son with his ex-wife, because although that would be an adjustment, I know if I wanted to I could welcome his son into our lives while also planning for our baby. What has me balking is the fact that he kept it from me. He should’ve told me about it immediately instead of sulking, avoiding me, and picking fights with me.I thought that dating an older man

chapter 27

I quickly run to the bathroom and touch up my makeup before heading into the office.The drive from the hospital to work is probably the first time I’ve felt real hope concerning Mom’s cancer diagnosis. Of course, she isn’t out of the woods just yet but it’s looking like there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, finally.Today,DeLisleis shooting the visuals for the ad campaign for our newest collection. We are doing it at Brooklyn Bridge Park with the bridge in the background.Jeremy stops on the street in front of the site and I get out of the car. There’s a flurry of activity as my staff, makeup artists, hairdressers, interns, the photographer and his assistants all run around. However, my eyes go straight to the tall figure standing in a gray three-piece suit with his hand in his pocket, as cool as a cucumber in the sea of chaos.Travis is here.We haven’t spoken since that night and havebarely seen each other. I have been avoiding him, and I’m guessing he has been doing the same.

chapter 28

TRAVISEven though I’ve always wanted children, I’ve never considered myself much of a baby person.That has all been blown to hell as I sit here, smiling at the newborn cradled in the crook of my elbow.Mom forced me to come back home for the birth of my baby brother, Phil’s first born. She insisted that I’ve missed way too much of our major family events. I’m ashamed to say she was right, because I have two other nieces and nephews who I only met in person after their second birthdays.I had convinced myself that video calls to see the babies was good enough, because they wouldn’t know the difference whether I was really there in person or not. However, as I look down at this baby I’m starting to realize the weight of Mom’s reproach. These are the things that are important in life. So I’m going to have to make more time for them.“Stop that, you’re being creepy,” Phil says.I look up at him. “What?”“Why are you grimacing at my daughter? You’re going to scare her.”“I’m not grimacin
