Two Doctors and A Baby

Two Doctors and A Baby
Brenda Harlen

Surprise… You're pregnant!Obstetrician Avery Wallace has uttered those words but never had them said to her…till now, just three weeks after her unexpected New Year's Eve with the hospital's "Dr. Romeo," Justin Garrett. But Avery's sworn off marriage, motherhood and men—especially doctors. And it isn't attraction she feels for the sexy ER doc…it's pregnancy hormones!"Let's get married."One night isn't enough for Justin, not when he's crushed on Avery for years. But a baby? Not in his plans. So no one's more surprised by his proposal…or more disappointed by her refusal. The hospital's buzzing but Justin doesn't care. He knows what to do—and he has a little over eight months to do it: convince Avery to make him a husband before he becomes a daddy.

What was on her little mind?

She looked like she was about to jump out of her skin. And he needed to know why.

“So why you’d ask me over?”

Avery’s fork fell and clattered against her plate.

“I just wanted to follow up … about what happened … on New Year’s.”

He didn’t need a reminder. The heat between them had been undeniable, so strong he’d pulled her into the nearest private spot—a supply closet. He’d waited three years to have her, and the memories of that night still played out in his dreams.

“What exactly requires follow-up?” he asked.

She didn’t look at him. “Well … it, um, turns out we didn’t, um … dodge the bullet.”

It took him a minute to figure out what she was saying. Then he felt something deep in his gut. “You’re … pregnant?”

She pulled a narrow plastic stick out of her pocket. Two lines showed in the window. Then she met his eyes. “You’re going to be a daddy.”

After six years at Mercy Hospital, Dr. Justin Garrett knew that Friday nights in the ER were inevitably frenzied and chaotic.

New Year’s Eve was worse.

And when New Year’s Eve happened to fall on a Friday—well, it wasn’t yet midnight and he’d already seen more than twice the usual number of patients pass through the emergency department, most of the incidents and injuries directly related to alcohol consumption.
