Page 147 of Fall Into Temptation
“Oh, my God. Oh, my God,” Eva chanted to herself. This was the dumbest thing she’d ever done in her entire life.
The knock on her car window startled her even though she expected it.
Looking straight ahead, Eva pushed the power window button.
“Do you know why I pulled you over, ma’am.”
She closed her eyes. “Because I might be pregnant with your baby even though we haven’t even gone out on a date yet, and I panicked and accidentally shoplifted a pregnancy test because I wanted to be sure before I told you.”
“Also, you went through a yellow light while speeding, and if you are carrying my child, I’m going to have to ask you to be more careful in the future.”
“How can you even joke at a time like this?”
“A time like what?” he asked, leaning in the window.
“Donovan! We might be having a baby!”
“Do you have to drive with it like that to find out if you’re pregnant,” he asked, tapping the crumpled box she had clutched between her hand and the wheel. “I thought you just peed on it.”
Eva dropped her head onto the steering wheel.
“Don’t you think you should lecture me about responsibility and timing and… I don’t even know at this point.”
“You know what I know?” he asked.
“What?” she asked in a tiny voice.
“I know that last night was the roughest night of my entire career, but I made it through because I had you. You had my back and were there when I needed you most.” The woman had set up a prison with twenty minutes’ notice, for God’s sake.
“You’re not mad?” she asked, peeking at him.
“Baby. What have I been saying this entire month?”
“That you’re insane and you want to marry me.”
“I want kids, Eva. I want kids with you.”
“Well, I want them with you, too. But I would have preferred to have a little time with you first—Hey!”
“What?”
“It’s November 1.”
He looked up at the sky where the sun was breaking over the horizon. “So it is.”
“The planetary crossing?” Eva asked.
“We survived it.”
“And you still love me?” She felt dazed.
Donovan opened her car door and tugged her out. “I still love the hell out of you, Evangelina.”
“Even if I screwed up my pills and we’re having a baby?” She needed confirmation.
“Even if we were both irresponsible and we’re having a baby a little earlier than we would have planned,” he promised, kissing her fingertips.
“I think I need to pee on a stick,” she said, staring up into those denim blue eyes.
