Nick~ "Ponzie's solemn expression softened into a smile, releasing the tension around his temples and eyes. "Alpha, your daughter is right where she should be. There's been no more bleeding?" Harley looked to me first, her shoulders dropping a fraction before she shook her head. "No, Doctor Ponzie, Nick has been making sure I take it easy." "Well, keep up the good work," Ponzie said to Nick as he accepted the damp cloth. The cool blue ultrasound gel dragged against my skin as he wiped it away. "It's just Rich for you, Mommy."
