My body froze as my gaze fell on him. He walked into the diner with a sly grin on his lips like he always does.
My heartbeat produced sounds that I was certain if the diner was quiet, I was sure the boy who stood just inches away from me would hear it.
Anton Leigh!
What the hell was he doing here?
How did he find me?
My hands flew to my stomach in fear, I suddenly felt the urge to protect her, to protect us.
Without a second thought, I ran off through the back door. My greatest fear was him finding out about the pregnancy.
While running and looking back to make sure he wasn't following, I slipped at the door and fell.
The indistinctive chatter in the room woke me up. Anton was standing in the room with someone in a scrub. He looked furious guessing from whatever they were discussing. They must have told him about the pregnancy. I was in no mood to explain anything to him. Making sure my baby was okay was what mattered the most to me. They seemed to be deep into the conversation so I cleared my throat to get their attention.
The nurse came running as soon as she saw me awake. She told me everything was fine and that I just needed to get more rest.
It was just Anton and I in the room after she left.
He was pacing back and forth angrily. I didn't bother asking why because it was obvious.
Dating him had never been an easy feat. He had the nastiest temper I had ever seen, which was why I ran away in the first place. I loved Anton but having a child with him had never been part of the plan.
