Sabrina was walking back to the room with a large Styrofoam cup of ice chips. Emma wasn’t allowed to eat until the baby came. But she was allowed to munch on ice chips. As she walked towards the room, she bumped into Spencer, who looked like someone had kicked his puppy. “Hey, hey, hey,” she stopped him. “Where are you going?” “I, um… I’m going home.” “Did you go in to see Emma? She’s going to ask for you.” “No, I didn’t. Her and Will were having… a moment. I didn’t want to interrupt.” Sabrina rolled her eyes and let out a loud sigh. “Why does it feel like I’m the only functional adult among us?” “It’s a huge burden, but someone has to carry it,” Spencer laughed, but the sound was sad. “Sabrina, do you think they’ll get back together?” “To tell you the truth, I don’t know. Emma says she doesn’t want a relationship with anyone. Will is that child’s father, so he’s going to be around. But that doesn’t mean he’s going to be in her life in any other way. You could still have a cha

“He really isn’t coming,” Emma said. Her tone alerted Minnie, who was also concerned. It was late, well passed the time that Will should have arrived. When Will called her, she was delighted to hear from him. Divorcing that shrew was the best thing for him. Their conversation was long, and he explained all about his past with Emma. He was in love, and excited to be a father. His devotion to being better was evident. So, the fact that he wouldn’t show up without at least a call or message was concerning. Something was up. And Minnie’s gut was never wrong.“I’m sure there’s an explanation as to why he isn’t here,” Minnie offered. She poured Emma a soothing cup of tea. “No,” Emma lamented after taking a few sips. “This is just who he is. I can’t believe I fell for this again. Somehow, I get wrapped up in him, and then he lets me down. Guess I’ll never learn.” She stood and walked towards her room. “I’m going to bed.”“Emma…” Minnie reached out for her.“Good night” she closed the bedroo

Things were tense in the following days. Will and Alex were working hard to get him bailed out, which left Emma and Sabrina alone a lot. They set each other messages and photos of their babies. Emma would also send some to Alex to show Will since he obviously didn’t have access to his phone. It was a difficult arrangement, but they were managing. Minnie worried. Emma was more stressed than she would have cared for. “Sweetheart,” she soothed. “I know things are crazy now. But I need you to try and stay calm. This stress isn’t good for you or baby Lizzie. You’re still breastfeeding her. Your emotions can carry on into her.” “I’m sorry. No matter what, Will still has a way of making me crazy, I guess,” she laughed. The sound was sad and tight. “He’s a handful,” Minnie smiled. “But his heart is in the right place.” “How do you know him? He seems to trust you implicitly.” “I’m not sure he’d like me to say. I can tell you that an unsavory situation brought us together and I’d like to

Jess looked at her friends and felt some of her motivation return. She had soldiers in her army now. People she could rely on to her help fight Before she was a lone general, deserted on an open battlefield, a prime target for her enemy. Now she led a battalion. The best team she could think of. “I can talk to Alex,” Sabrina offered. “He had some law enforcement connections and could also help to find an attorney for this case. I haven’t asked, mostly because I’m afraid to, but I’m almost certain he’s got some more… nefarious connections as well.” “Girl, what in the hell did you get yourself messed up in?” Jess teased. “He’s hot as hell, I couldn’t help it!” she laughed. “He’s also both madly in love with and terrified of you,” Emma pointed out. “Damn straight. He knows I can do more damage to him than whatever underworld muscle he knows.” “Atta girl,” Jess smiled. Their moment of levity was short lived as Emma brought them back to reality. “I’ll ask Will about it. It’s his

Will fell asleep, slumped over on his desk. “Ugh,” he yawned as he straightened up. “That was a bad idea.” He stretched his arms out feeling all of the knots in his back. Nothing a hot shower won’t fix. He figured after his shower he’d let Emma know he was her new neighbor. She’d probably be upset about it. But it was done, and he wasn’t going back now. He recalled the way Emma stared at him while he was wearing more casual clothes. There was no hiding that hunger in her eyes. He knew it too well.“Well,” he smirked to himself. “I won’t be going to work. No need to wear a suit every day.” It was a diabolical plan. But if he was ever going to be with Emma again, he had to start somewhere. He stepped into the shower and enjoyed the feeling of the water cascading around him. It ran all over his body, and he couldn’t help but think it should be Emma’s hands all over him instead. He imagined her in the shower with him, her nails dragging down his back as he pressed his body into hers. “I
