to get this bag sorted.”
     
    “ That isn't necessarily a bad thing.”
     
    She swatted at his arm and said, “I'm too large for sex. So, down Lieutenant.”
     
    Daniel chuckled and went back to massaging her shoulders, the baby blanket thrown over his shoulder. As Kelley continued to pull things out of the bag and put them back in, he asked, “So what is all this stuff for again?”
     
    “ It's a precautionary measure in case the baby decides she wants to make an early appearance.” She told him, tucking a pacifier into a front pocket.
     
    “ Right.”
     
    Kelley took the blanket back and folded it before placing it into the bag and zipping it shut. As she put the bag on the floor, she said, “Danny, can I ask you to do something for me?”
     
    “ Sure.”
     
    “ Can you be with me when the baby comes?”
     
    “ In the delivery room?”
     
    “ Yeah. Is that weird?”
     
    “ Not at all. And I'd be honoured to be there with you.” Daniel told her. “But what about Arthur?”
     
    “ Dad will understand. After all, he thinks you're the father.”
     
    “ That's because a certain daughter told him I was.”
     
    “ I know what it will do to Dad if her learns I got pregnant to a man who raped me.” Kelley said. “It's better this way.” She turned around to look at him and asked, “Are you okay with playing Dad when Dad is around?”
     
    “ Not at all.”
     
    In fact, Daniel had found himself fantasising about having a family with Kelley. More then once, he'd imagined what it'd be like if the baby she carried was his.

 
    As he held her in his arms, he began to think of ways to make that happen.
     
    Kelley's first born would always belong to his brother, but what was to stop them from having one or two of their own?

    Ronald Coleman was pissed.
     
    He'd arrived at the address his reluctant AFP informant had said was Kelley's new home, only to find the place abandoned.
     
    The lights were off, so at first, Ronald had just assumed she wasn't home or already in bed. But when he'd slipped in through a back window, he'd found the apartment completely empty.
     
    Void of any sign of life and there was no proof anyone had even lived here.
     
    Standing in the bare living room, Ronald swore again and wondered how in the hell he was going to find her now.
     
    Then something hit him.
     
    Instead of using Kelley to lure Daniel into a trap, he could use Daniel to lure Kelley back to Cairns.
     
    A slow grin formed on Ronald’s mouth; he'd get his revenge, and it was going to be better then he'd hoped.
     

     
    Further up north, Kelley was watching Daniel as he and his dad worked on a horse they'd recently purchased. The heat of the day had caused both men to remove their shirts, and Kelley couldn't take her eyes off of the man who was slowly stealing her heart.
     
    Beautiful tanned skin pulled tight over a muscular torso that was void of hair.
     
    Hard, wash-board abs that were testimony to how many hours he put into staying in shape for the Navy.
     
    Long, muscular legs that were wrapped in tight Levi jeans that also helped showcase a firm behind.
     
    She may have been attacked a few months ago, but Kelley could still appreciate a fine male specimen.
     
    And Daniel fit that bill to a T.
     
    Yvette joined her then, handing her a glass of iced water as she asked, “How are you feeling, Kel?”
     
    “ Very good.” She replied, rubbing a hand gently over the small swell of her stomach. “She's been a good girl today.”
     
    An ultrasound had confirmed the sex of the baby and Kelley was really excited, counting down the days until she got to meet her daughter.
     
    “ Have you decided on a name yet?” Yvette asked.
     
    Kelley nodded, but said, “I want to keep it a secret.”
     
    “ Of course.” Yvette checked her watch and said, “I've got a pot of spaghetti cooking, so I hope you're hungry.”
     
    “ Starving.”
     
    “ Excellent. I'll shout
