Janice Kay - A Mother's Claim

“No. You know that isn’t true. I just wanted a little time for Christian—Gabriel—to become more comfortable with me.”

“A piece of advice.” His temper was in hand, but he didn’t feel as friendly as he had a few minutes ago. “You might want to decide what name you’re going to call him before you show up in person again.”

Except, he thought with a jolt of surprise, throughout the conversation she had been calling her son Christian. Had she even noticed?

“I’ll discuss that with him,” she said with dignity. “Goodbye, Mr. Gregor.”

He said goodbye as formally, shaking his head. Forget Gabriel versus Christian. The whole plan wouldn’t make it off the launchpad if the two of them couldn’t bring themselves to use first names.

Instead of going right back to work, Nolan stayed where he was for a minute, half sitting on his desk. Man, he felt a boatload of emotions that weren’t what you’d call harmonious. The anger, he understood. The relief that she wasn’t taking the legal route. The trepidation about telling Christian and the fear of losing him, Nolan got all that, too. The whisper of anticipation...now, that was an unwelcome surprise.
