Brie panted. “I’m here to see Kylie. She asked me to come.”
“Do you mean Mrs. Wallace?”
Brie’s eyes widened.
Did Faelan and Kylie secretly get married?
The idea of it was incredibly romantic.
“Yes, Kylie Wallace. I’m her friend, Brianna Davis.”
The nurse nodded. “I’ll let her know you’re here.”
A few minutes later, Faelan came walking down the hallway to greet her. “Thanks for coming so quickly. Kylie isn’t doing well.”
Fear gripped Brie’s heart. “What’s going on?”
He shook his head. “Other than our little boy coming earlier than expected, everything seems to be going well. But Kylie can’t shake the feeling that something’s wrong.”
Brie was relieved to hear the baby was okay and smiled. “I remember how terrified I felt with Hope, so I understand what she is going through. Everything is going to be okay.”
“That’s what I’ve been trying to tell her.” He placed his hand on her shoulder. “Let’s hope she’ll listen to you.”
Faelan led her down the corridor to the hospital room and forced a relaxed smile when he entered. “Look what I brought. Your favorite food.”
“Brie!” Kylie cried.
Brie nudged Faelan in the ribs before walking to Kylie’s bed. “I hear the baby is doing well.”
Kylie nodded, sighing nervously. “That’s what they keep telling me.”
She took her friend’s hand and squeezed it. “I’m honored you asked me to come. After having Hope, it made me really want to see a birth myself. Thank you.”
“No, thank you!” The worried look in Kylie’s eyes momentarily disappeared. “I feel so much better now that you’re here.”
Glancing at Faelan, Kylie added, “Not that you aren’t enough, my love.”
He walked to the other side of the bed to take her hand. “You are about to give birth to my child. There is nothing you could say to offend me.”
Her eyes twinkled mischievously. “That almost sounds like a challenge.”
Brie’s phone suddenly pinged. She glanced down to read her text and told them, “It looks like Sir made it to the waiting room.”
Faelan looked at Brie in surprise. “He came?”
“Sir insisted.”
He seemed touched and replied, “I better go and say hello.” Then he immediately turned to Kylie, adding, “Unless you need me to stay, of course.”
Kylie laughed. “You can go now that Brie’s here, and please thank Sir Davis for me.”
“I certainly will, my wife.” Leaning down, Faelan kissed her on the forehead. “Don’t have too much fun without me.”
After he left, Brie turned to Kylie. “Did I hear right? Did Faelan just call you ‘wife?’”
Kylie blushed. “It’s true. Although we originally planned to get married in a couple of years, this little one changed things.” She rubbed her large belly. “Faelan thought it would be best to elope because it’s important to him that the baby has his name and knows he was born out of love.”
“Congratulations, Kylie!”
