Sympathy filled his gorgeous green eyes as he crouched by her side, rubbing her back while she wore a sports bra and sweat shorts. “What can I do to help?”

She shrugged, still feeling like crap. “I have no idea.”

Moments later, more footsteps headed their way as Brady walked in, sleepy-eyed and wearing Avengers pajamas. “Does your tummy feel bad?”

Nodding, she tried to smile. “A little bit.”

Cam sat on the tile next to her as he continued to slide his palm up and down her skin. “Brady, can you be my big helper and get the crackers from the bottom shelf in the pantry? The ones without your stickers on them.”

“Yup,” he said as he ran off.

Fiona grimaced at the idea of eating anything. Because it was doubtful she would be able to keep it down. “I don’t want crackers, Cam.”

He tucked her hair behind her ear. “Maybe try a couple of nibbles. An empty stomach can make morning sickness worse.”

She nodded. “It’s pretty great that this isn’t your first time doing this.”

“I’d say it’s pretty great that I’m doing this with the person I wanted to do it with all along.”

Her heart melted. “Aw.”

Tossing her a wink, he grinned, gently nudging her chin up, studying her face. “Your color’s coming back a little.”

“That’s a good thing because I have to meet the florist at the church in a couple of hours. It’s officially the big day.”

“Promise me you’ll take it easy.”

She nodded. “I’m not doing anything to risk this baby.”

“I know you won’t,” he said, bringing her knuckles to his lips. “While you’re working, Brady and I will start packing this place up so the real estate agent can do her thing tomorrow.”

“Thank you. She’s confident it won’t take long to get this place sold. She already has a buyer in mind.” And then she closed her eyes when her stomach roiled again.

“Are you going to get sick?”

Opening her eyes, she stared into his. “Maybe. Probably. But I’m okay with it.”

Cam raised his brow.

She shrugged. “I’m pregnant.”

He grinned. “I heard something about that.”

She huffed out a small laugh, enjoying Cam’s humor even when she wasn’t feeling great. “I didn’t think this would ever happen for me. For us. I’ll take a few miserable mornings.”

He sighed, sliding his knuckle along her jaw. “You’re amazing, Fi.”

Her shoulders moved again. “This is our miracle baby. I don’t know if we’ll get another chance to do this⁠—”

Brady ran back with the box of saltines. “Here, Fiona.”

She took the sleeve he pulled from the box. “Thank you, buddy.”

Moving closer, he gently patted her head. “Crackers will make you all better.”

She hugged him. “I love your kind heart, Brady.”

He hugged her back. “I love your kind heart, too.”
