yesterday, my mom said. Are you hot?
 Yes. Melanie swayed on the dais. Her knees weakened, and she went down.
 Mel! Dawn yelled and hustled forward, bending down.  What s going on?
 I don t know. Melanie rolled over and shoved to her knees.  My head is spinning.
 Melanie? Colton called from the other section of the store.  Are you all right? Dawn? What s
going on? A rustling echoed, and the door started to open.
 Don t come in, Melanie gasped, shoving down bile.
 He can t see you in the dress, the seamstress hissed.
Melanie s head lolled, and she dropped all the way down.
 Colton? Dawn called.  Hurry.
A door banged open, and strong arms cradled her. Colt s strong scent of leather and man
surrounded her, offering comfort.
Her stomach lurched.  Oh, God.
The room spun as she was lifted and carried into the cold air.  You can t see my dress, she
moaned.
 I didn t look. He hurried down the sidewalk.
A door opened, and warmth brushed her cheeks. She shut her eyes and rested against his chest, his
heartbeat grounding her.  I think I have the flu.
The lone nurse in the small clinic instructed Colton to take her to a back examination room, where
Doc Mooncaller loped in, his hair braided down his back.  Hi, Mel. The flu s going around. Have
you vomited? He reached out and felt her forehead.  You re not hot.
 Yes, she is, Colt quipped.
Doc laughed, his belly shaking.  Funny. Okay, let s check you out, darlin . Do you want him to
leave?
 No, Colton said.
Melanie shrugged.  I don t care. If I have the flu, he s probably next.
 Hmmm. Doc felt her neck.  Let s see what s up.
During the next hour, he tested her, she peed in a cup, and she finally settled back on the
examination table to wait.
 I hate the flu, she moaned, her arm over her eyes.
 Me too. Papers rustled as Colton kept reading through a magazine on fishing.  Your dress is
stunning, by the way.
She groaned. Now she d have to find a different dress. There was no way she was beginning her
marriage with bad luck.  Everything is planned and has to be perfect. I ll get another dress.
Doc cleared his throat.
Melanie sat up. She hadn t heard him enter.
He rubbed his chin.  So, about perfect and planning.
She frowned.  Yes?
 Ah, you re pregnant.
The world screeched to a stop. Her body shuddered. Tears slammed into her eyes.  No, I m not.
She glanced at Colton, whose intense gaze was checking out her abdomen.  I m not, she said
weakly, afraid to believe.
Doc glanced down at the chart in his hands.  Oh, you definitely are with child. He eyed Colton
and then her.  Um, is this okay?
Colton shot to his feet.  Oh, yeah! He grabbed her and spun her around.
Her stomach revolted, and she slapped a hand against his chest.  Stop.
 Oh. He tucked her close.  Sorry.
She lifted her head, not caring tears slid down her face.  A baby.
Colton nodded, his eyes wet.  Yeah. A baby.
Melanie reached for him, needing his strength. Colton had always been there for her, always loved
her. Now he d love their baby just as strongly.
She looked back and grinned, her heart on fire for him.  I love you.
