Lilian Darcy - The Boss's Baby Surprise

Mrs. Pascoe hung up, but Celie’s fingers were curled tightly around the phone and she couldn’t seem to let it go. Nick appeared in the doorway while the receiver still hung in her hand.

“Kyla said—” Nick stopped, midsentence. “Heck, what’s wrong, Celie? You’ve gone white.”

“My mother’s broken her leg. She had to lie in pain on the kitchen floor for two hours, with no help on its way. I dreamed about it. Which is just so weird.”

“You dreamed your mother broke her leg?”

“Yes. I saw a figure lying on a floor, only I didn’t know who it was. Someone in the dream told me, ‘Call her in the morning.’ I remembered the dream just now, so I did call her, and when I did…” She took a shuddery breath. “Thank heaven I called!”

“Celie, it’s all right. Keep remembering to breathe, okay? Are you going to faint?”

“No.” She’d never fainted in her life, and didn’t intend to start now.

“Help is with her now, right?”

“She’s in the ambulance.”

“So it’s okay. And for heaven’s sake, don’t worry about a little thing like a dream!”

“No. Of course. You’re right.”

Celie felt herself sway. She didn’t think she would have fainted, since she never had before and was so determined not to, but when Nick’s arms came around her for support, strong and warm, she clung on to her boss for dear life and whispered hoarsely, “Don’t let go.”
