  He sat me down in one of the chairs in the waiting room and went to the reception desk to check me in. Within a matter of 2 minutes, a nurse was by my side.

  “This way Jasmine, the doctor will see you now.”

  I got up on one leg and limped after the nurse as she led me into a private waiting room. James followed in closely behind her and closed the door as soon as the nurse had left.

  “How ya feelin?” James asked.

  “On top of the world,” I said with a smile.

  The doctor walked in with a chart and looked me up and down.

  “Hello Jasmine, looks like James here did a good job bandaging you up but I’d like to take a blood test as a precaution and give you a tetanus shot if that’s alright with you.”

  “Not a problem at all doc.”

  He came around to the right side of the bed and tied some rubber around my arm to make my vein stand out. I had been scared of blood since I was a child and squeamishly looked the other direction as he drew the blood out of my vein. I felt him release the rubber from my arm and heard the sound of him flicking the needle. Shit here it comes I thought to myself. I felt a sharp pinch in my upper shoulder and could feel the chemicals of the tetanus shot seep into my blood stream. Another prick, and I felt the needle towards my knee.

  “Just going to freeze the area a little bit before I put in the stitches, nothing to worry about.”

  I continued to look away and James came over to the left side of the bed to hold my hand. Before I knew it, the last of the 7 stitches were in place and I couldn’t feel a thing in my knee!

  “You’ve done well Jasmine, I’ll be back in a couple hours with your blood results. Everything should be fine.”

  The doctor left the room, leaving James and I alone together.

  “How’s my princess doing?”

  “I’d be doing better if you climbed in bed with me.”

  James sat down on the bed and lay down next to me. I cuddled up close to him and fell asleep with my head resting on his chest.

  I must have been out for a couple hours and I woke up with James nudging me.

  The doctor walked in and was holding the same clipboard chart.

  “Congratulations to the happy couple!”

  “What? What do you mean? What are you talking about?” I responded with worry in my voice.

  “Your blood tests all came back negative but we did find something else in your blood. Turns out you’re 3 months pregnant Jasmine. You’re going to be a mother!”

  The End.

  Excerpt from The Billionaire's Baby Bargain

  “I’m sorry… what did you say?” Colin Strathmore said slowly. His voice was pure ice.

  “We do sincerely regret the mistake—.” The clinic director said nervously.

  “This is a hell of a lot more than a mistake.”

  “Well, it is unfortunate, yes, but nothing like this has ever happened before.”

  “And so how to you plan to fix it?” Colin’s said smoothly. His demeanor was calm, but his voice held a dangerous edge. The rhythmic rapping of his fingers against the mahogany table was the only thing that betrayed his anger.

  Doctor Moore looked around the room nervously, unable to meet Colin’s glare. Her eyes lingered on the framed plaques and awards for philanthropy she saw in the opulent office, on the expensive trinkets on the shelves and desk that had been clearly placed there by an interior designer. The room was laid out to be as intimidating as possible, and it was working.

  Beside her the lawyer, Clarkson, had interjected. “Well, we have offered Miss Robinson a generous financial package to fix the mistake.”

  “Enlighten me. How exactly would that fix it?”

  “Well, if Miss Robinson terminated the pregnancy then there would be minimal damages to you.”

  “Terminated?” Colin stood up. “You thought you had the right to ask her to terminate the pregnancy?”

  “It did seem like the most logical solution—,” Doctor Moore offered nervously.

  “And you didn’t think I should be consulted before you made this offer?” He was outraged.

  Colin turned his back on them, staring out into the immense cityscape that was sprawled before him from his office on the top floor of the Strathmore Financial building. He was known for his stoicism, for his emotional restraint, but by God—! There was only so far he could be pushed.

  He wanted to punch the lawyer right in the middle of his face and toss the incompetent doctor out on her ass. He clenched his fist several times as he struggled to regain his composure.

  His voice was level. “I take it you are here because Miss Robinson did not terminate the pregnancy?”

  “Er— yes. That’s correct.”

  Colin closed his eyes. “How much does she want?”

  “I’m sorry?”

  “I presume she has a number in mind?”

  “Um… I don’t think she can be persuaded to terminate, I’m afraid.”

  Colin whirled and leaned over the desk, slamming his hand on the hard mahogany surface. “How much will it take for her to sign over custody of the child?”
