Anthony’s.
It was nearly thirty minutes later that traffic started moving again and the limo pulled up in front of the emergency entrance at St. Anthony’s.
Everyone piled out and headed into the hospital, but Dooley held back, keeping Morgan with him.
Morgan sighed. “The tux shop is going to be very unhappy.”
Dooley couldn’t believe it, but he chuckled. “I think it’s safe to say that we’re not getting our deposits back.”
Morgan slipped her hand into his. “Totally worth it.”
“Yeah.” For a moment he was overcome with the reality of what had just happened. And the fact that his new wife was taking it all in stride. He really knew how to pick ’em.
Morgan turned to him. “So, we going or what?”
Dooley took a deep breath. He wanted to go on his honeymoon so badly. He wanted to get back in the limo that already had their suitcases in the trunk and head for the airport. He wanted to be at the five-star resort in Italy, naked next to Morgan for the next two weeks. They could leave whenever they wanted to. Morgan’s ex-boss, Jonathan Britton, was giving them use of his private jet as a wedding gift and Morgan’s sister had called to say that everyone was at the reception and having a great time, even without them.
And they probably should stop by the reception. But…
He glanced at the ER’s sliding doors.
How could he tell his new wife that he wanted to postpone their honeymoon? Even if it was for only a few days, could he really do that?
“Mr. Miller?”
He looked at the driver over the top of the car. “Just give us a second.” He turned to Morgan. “Sugar, I was thinking…”
But she had her cell phone to her ear. “Hi, this is Morgan James. I mean, Miller.”
She shot him a quick grin that made possessive heat flood through him. She was his. His wife . He was going to wake up next to her every morning for the rest of his life.
“Yes, we need to postpone our flight.”
He straightened.
“We’re not sure. We’ll let you know. But not tonight. Thanks though.”
She disconnected and looked at him. Obviously his surprised showed. “What?” she asked.
“Who was that?”
“The pilot. Thought it was pretty rude to make him sit there waiting when we’re not going tonight.”
“We’re not?”
She frowned. “Of course not. We need to be here. When Dani and the babies are okay, we’ll talk about Italy. Or we can go in a few months. But we need to be here right now.”
He grabbed her hand and brought her palm to his mouth. He kissed her hand and said, “God, I love you.”
She rolled her eyes. “I know. Let’s go.”
Chapter Four
“I can’t even tell you how outstanding this is,” Kevin said, handing Sam a can of Pepsi and slumping into the chair next to him.
His friend was obviously exhausted, but Kevin knew Sam wouldn’t sleep until he had some word on his girls. Dani was in the bed in the room just a few feet away, blessedly asleep. She was doing fine. Better than fine. She’d been incredibly diligent about her health during the pregnancy and the doctor had no concerns about her recovery.
No one had told them anything about the babies yet, though. So Sam wasn’t going to sleep or even leave the small waiting area outside of Dani’s room.
Which meant Kevin was going to help keep Sam awake and at least a little distracted while he waited.
“It’s outstanding that my daughters are five weeks premature and in the NICU?” Sam growled, popping his soda can open.
“Of course not,” Kevin said easily, “but it’s outstanding that you have daughters. It would only be better if they were triplets.”
Sam moaned, leaning his head on the back of the chair.
Kevin chuckled as he took a drink from his own can. It really was outstanding. Sam was going to be a great father. And if there was a God—and Kevin absolutely believed that there was—Sam’s daughters would have lots of boyfriends.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be there with you to meet anyone who
