Brenda Harlen - The Sheriff's Nine-Month Surprise

“I know it’s yours,” she told him. “You’re the only man I’ve been with in...a long time. But considering how quickly everything happened between us, I can understand why you’d ask, why you’d want proof.”

He fell silent again, and she found herself babbling in an effort to fill the silence.

“We can have a DNA test as soon as the baby’s born. It’s possible to do paternity testing before birth, through amniocentesis, but it also increases the risk of miscarriage and I’d rather not take the chance when there are no other factors that warrant it.”

He nodded, but whether it was in agreement or understanding, she had no idea.

“I’m not asking anything of you,” she hastened to reassure him. “I made the decision to have this baby on my own, and I intend to raise the baby on my own.”

That, finally, got a response from him.

“You didn’t make the baby on your own,” he pointed out.

“Well, no,” she agreed, her body humming in remembrance of the pleasures she’d experienced in his arms.

“And I don’t shirk my responsibilities,” he said with grim resolve.

“I appreciate that, Reid, but—”

He shook his head. “No buts, Katelyn.”
