I grab her hands, cupping them on her knees. “You’re really going to have a baby?”

“I think so.”

“Mine?”

A laugh spills out of her. “Who else’s?”

“I don’t know. That guy from the Christmas party or–”

“Trevor!”

The news still hasn’t settled in completely. “A baby? My baby? Ours? Iris,ours?”

Iris smiles at me, a smile that squeezes her eyes tight. She wraps her hands around the back of my head, stares down into my eyes. “Our baby. Yes, Trevor.”

“And you…love me? You want to be with me.”

Her eyes waver, and she nods. “More than anything. I want a family with you.”

I am trying to keep my composure. However, knowing Iris loves me, loves me so much she’shappyto be potentially carrying my baby, has me struggling to stay on an even keel.

She squeezes my hand. “Baby, you’re shaking.”

“Am I?”

“Yes.”

Iris smiles. “It’s you and me. It’s always been you and me.”

I blink, a tear escaping. Nope. No, I’ve got to be strong right now. I push it away. “When is your appointment?”

“You’re going to come with me.”

“You’re damn right I am.”

I help her up. “And you need a warmer coat.”

“I’m fine, Trev.”

“Nope, no, you might be carrying my baby, you will not be cold.” I grab my coat from the hook on the wall and wrap her up in it. “Please, let me take care of you.”

For the first time in a long time, Iris gives into me wholly without any resistance. “Okay, Trev. I’ll let you.”

“I’ll drive.” I hold the door open for her. “Last thing I need is getting a heart attack being on your motorcycle.”

“Don’t be an idiot, I didn’t rent a motorcycle this time.”

“You didn’t?”

She tilts her head to the side. “It’s not just me on that thing anymore. Maybe.”

“Well, I will never clip your wings, but you know I hate those things.”

Iris laughs. “I know. And I’m willing to negotiate in the future.”

I take her hand. “That’s all I ask.”

We get into the elevator. Side by side.
