Tara Taylor Quinn - The Baby Arrangement

Car accidents weren’t genetic.

But they did take people unexpectedly, leaving loved ones behind to fend for themselves.

In her case, it would leave her little one with no known family at all. He or she would be just like Mallory, a foster.

Rising, she made her way back to the front of the boat. Braden was sitting with his forearms resting on raised knees, looking in her direction. His line lay limp before him. There wasn’t a single fish in the basket close by.

With a raised brow, he seemed to ask if she’d reached her decision.

“I have a question.”

“Okay. If I don’t have the answer, I’ll see what I can do about finding it.”

The reply was so Braden she almost teared up again. And smiled, too. He tried. He really, really tried hard.

“If something were to happen to me, would you be willing to take the child, to raise him or her?”

“Of course.”

It wasn’t so much his answer—which she’d have expected if she’d given herself enough time to think about it—as it was his lack of hesitation that set her suddenly frightened heart at ease.

“Then I accept your offer.”

“Good.”

He was looking at her. She looked back at him.

They’d just agreed she was going to have his baby.

And it felt as though they’d never been further apart.
