“I get that. I had that thought too,” Bane says.

“What the hell, guys? Now? You want to talk about this now? If we are horrible fathers, that will be the reason why Harlow decides to leave us. And we are best friends. We’re more like brothers. No one is leaving anyone. For fuck’s sake.” I slam on the brakes and park at the emergency room center of the hospital. “Let’s go.”

Bane is out of the car first, then Colt, and Bane has Harlow in his arms. Her limp body is going to give me a heart attack. We run through the doors.

“We need help! We need a doctor over here!” Bane shouts so loud every person in the room turns to us.

A doctor sprints over to us, a nurse by his side with a gurney. “What happened?”

Bane places her on the gurney and we begin walking fast as they roll her through the double doors.

“She was kidnapped earlier today. She’s our…partner,” Bane says carefully. “She’s pregnant. She passed out when we were leaving the place we rescued her from. We don’t know if he pumped her full of drugs or if the baby is okay. Please,” he rambles, his voice breaking with emotion I know he hates.

“Okay. We have it from here, okay? We will update you soon, but you can’t come back here.”

“What the hell do you mean? We spent all day out of our minds with worry and fear and now you’re saying we can’t be with her?” Bane towers over the doctor, but the guy doesn’t flinch. He must be used to intimidation shows.

“I understand, but we work better without loved ones becoming emotional. They don’t need to see what we do. It only makes it worse. Sit down. I’ll be back with an update shortly.”

He leaves us standing there, watching him run down the hall to follow the nurse who’s pushing the gurney.

We don’t even go to sit down. We wait for what seems like forever. We watch the doors, unable to move our feet from the ground. We are glued. Frozen.

And fucking afraid.

“Hey.”

The sound of Grizzly’s voice startles me and I turn around to see him and the guys. I smell smoke, so they had to have burned the house down like they promised.

“The girls? Where are they?” Bane asks in a monotone voice, staring at the doors still.

“Match is with them talking to the cops, then they’re coming,” Dart explains.

“Any update?”

“She passed out, Grizz. I don’t know if he put her on drugs or what. We’re terrified. I know you don’t want to hear it—”

“No, listen. It’s going to take getting used to, but I see you three really care about her, and her happiness is all that matters. I’m scared too. She’s all I have. After her mom…I can’t imagine losing her, which is why I got so mad at you three. Just…give me time. I like to hear you’re worried. If you weren’t, I’d kill you,” he jokes, but I know he’s serious.

He will fillet us like fish if anything happens to Harlow.

“She’ll be okay.” He sounds confident and stronger, which is way better than how I feel.

“How do you know?”

“She’s a lot like her mom. She’s a fighter.” Grizzly chokes up and clears his throat. “See, here comes the doctor now.”

“Harlow—wow.” He comes to a quick stop in front of us, his gaze mapping the waiting room. “I need to speak with Harlow’s family.”

“I’m her father and these are her…husbands? Don’t argue with me on it, Doc. Just tell me if she’s okay.”

“She’s fine. I’m happy to report,” he announces, and all of us cheer.

“Oh, thank god.”

“The fetus looks good too. She’s dehydrated and exhausted. She’ll need more sleep and fluids while she’s pregnant. I recommend that she does not overdo it. No more high-stress situations if they can be avoided. I noticed a little blood while doing an exam, but it isn’t anything I’m too concerned about.”

“Blood?” Bane questions. “So she’s at risk for losing the baby?”
