“I already paid the fine. They’re just waiting for the paperwork to go through, and then I’ll be out of here. I’m really sorry.”

“You get your ass to the medical center the second you get out of here.” I pointed at him.

“I will. I promise. I love you.”

“I love you too.”

I left the police station and headed to the medical center.

“Hi, Morgan.” Georgia smiled, walking into the ultrasound room. “Where’s Roman? I thought he’d be here today.”

“He’s on his way. He got held up in jail.”

“You mean he got held up at the jail,” she said.

“No. He was thrown in jail for contempt.” I sighed. “He should be here soon.”

“Do you want me to wait a few minutes before performing the ultrasound?”

“Nope. Let’s get started. If he misses seeing his daughter, that’s on him.”

“Okay. Just relax. We all know men do stupid things. God knows that Jackson has done some really stupid things in our relationship.” She smiled.

Georgia squirted some gel on my belly and pressed the transducer down, moving it around. When I saw my baby on the monitor, I smiled brightly.

“Aw, look. She’s sucking her thumb.” Georgia grinned.

The door opened, and Roman ran in.

“I’m here, babe.” He ran over and grabbed my hand.

“Hello, Roman. How was jail?” Georgia smirked.

“Hi, Georgia. It was eventful. Look, babe. She’s suckingher thumb. I can’t believe how much she’s grown since the last ultrasound.”

“She’s growing right on schedule and looks good.” Georgia grabbed a small towel and wiped the gel off my belly. “I will see you two next month.”

Roman hooked his arm around me, and we walked out of the medical center.

“Where’s Ollie?” I looked around.

“I sent him home.”

“Why?” I glanced at him, furrowing my brows.

“Because you have your car here, and there was no need for him to stick around. I told Olivia I’m taking the rest of the afternoon off to take my beautiful girlfriend shopping.”

“But you’re swamped with cases.”

“I know, and I’ll get to them later. Right now, I want to spend the rest of the day alone with you.” He smiled.

“You’re still trying to make up for almost missing the ultrasound appointment, right?”

“Yep.” He sighed as we walked to my car.

I silently smiled because I was so in love with him that I couldn’t see straight.

After we shopped for a while, we went home. While Roman was in his office working, I put on my bathing suit and jumped in the pool. After doing a few laps, I wiped the water from my eyes and saw Roman standing at the edge in his swim trunks, staring at me.
