THE DOCTORS’ BABY MIRACLE
“Tucker, are you okay?”
Kady’s soft voice called him back from the depths. “I’m fine. Just didn’t expect to have to hold her, that’s all.”
“I could tell.” She linked her arm through his for a moment as they stood there on the curb, the noise of traffic and voices outside very different from the canned silence inside the hospital. “You were a good father to her. Don’t ever forget that.”
A sudden wash of emotion spurted from behind the wall, stabbing at the backs of his eyes and clogging his throat. Oh, hell. Not now.
He pulled his arm from hers, afraid if they stood there any longer, she would see.
“We did everything we could for her. So did her doctors.” His cool businesslike tone had to be a slap in the face after what she’d just said. But it was all he could manage without the past pouring out in a very real way.
She gripped his arm again. “Hey, don’t do that. Don’t you dare do that.”
“Do what?”
“Act like she was nothing more to you than one of your patients. She was our daughter, dammit.”
“You think I don’t know that? That I don’t have to deal with what happened every single hour of every single day?” The dam broke and he turned, yanking her against him. “I remember the second she was born, the second she smiled. The second she…”
Then his lips were on hers, hand going to the back of her head and clutching her to him. Grief and want and need all melded together into a huge tangled ball that was impossible to unravel.
Kady seemed to understand exactly what he was feeling, arms wrapping around his neck, giving back every bit as good as she got.
And it was good—too good—the heat and pressure of her mouth changing the tone in an instant. He deepened the kiss, and a familiar stirring took place, reminding him that he could indeed do things. Wanted to do them.
With Kady and no one else.
