Chapter 7
Bianca looked down at her hands, delaying her answer.
“Bianca?” Alex asked more urgently.
She gave a small nod unsure of what to say to him. The tone of his voice made her feel uncertainty about his mood. Not wanting to look up and see the disappointment on his face, Bianca continued to stare at her hands. They both knew a positive test was a possibility after they agreed to try for a baby. But Bianca could sense that Alex wasn’t ready. Especially since his business deal fell through. Tears burned the backs of her eye lids and Bianca blinked them back. She felt stupid for getting so emotional. Wasn’t it just a month ago that she was planning on going to a sperm bank? This was different though. She was in love with Alex. The thought caught her by surprise and her head snapped up. Bianca looked deep into Alex’s eyes trying to read his mood. That was the first time she had allowed herself to even think about loving him.

“You better stop that or we may have to have another round,” Bianca said, turning to meet his gaze.
Alex laughed, pressing a chaste peck to her nose. “I wouldn’t mind but I think you need some rest now,” he laid a protective hand on her lower abdomen and rubbed slow circles around it.
Bianca began to tear up again. Damn hormones! Wiping a rogue tear from her cheek she snuggled into Alex. It was all going to be okay, the tension between them that she felt earlier was just her overactive imagination. Several minutes later, Bianca began to drift off to sleep, a smile of happiness on her lips.
