fear and nervousness warring with excitement, as she finally understood the future they were asking her to share.
    A small smile curved her lips as she considered it and Teagan squealed in delight and launched herself into Bec's grasp. Momentum pushed them both backwards into Justin's waiting arms.
    "But wait, wait." Bec laughed. "Where will we live? How will we explain our relationship? And I've got no money, so I'll need to get a job and sell this house and settle my ex-husbands debts."
    "Details, details," Teagan, joyously, dismissed Bec's concerns with a wave of her hand. She turned to the Bec and planted a knee-weakening kiss on her pliant mouth. Bec kissed her back, almost losing her train of thought in the sensual haze that flooded her whenever this woman touched her. She pulled away suddenly as a worrying thought coalesced in her brain.
    "But what happens when you two want children?"
    Both Justin and Teagan stilled at the question. Suddenly uncomfortable with the silence, Bec wanted to crawl under the covers and pretend she hadn't raised the subject. She'd wanted to have children with her ex-husband, but he'd used the building of his business to keep putting it off. Children, he'd explained, were expensive, so they needed to be financially stable before they took on such a huge responsibility. Acknowledging the logic of his argument, Ebook piracy is stealing.

    Justin and Teagan still looked miserable, and Bec realized that there was something important that they weren't telling her. Teagan's eyes were brimming with moisture as Justin spoke.
    "We haven't been able to carry a child to term. Teag has had three miscarriages in the last four years, and the last one damaged her uterus beyond repair."
    Bec's eyes filled and tears flowed unheeded down her face.
    Teagan turned her face into Justin's shoulder seemingly to try to gain control over the sobs that wrenched free from her. Justin comforted his wife as he held her in his arms, running his hands over her back and up onto her shoulders as he kissed her lovingly on the top of her head.
    Bec couldn't watch. It felt too personal, too intimate for her to be watching such anguish when she hadn't been there to help them both through the tragedies. Justin rocked her in his embrace as Teagan slowly regained her control. She looked completely exhausted. She closed her eyes, and within moments fell asleep in her husband's strong embrace.
    Lifting off the bed, intent on escaping Justin's sharp gaze, Bec quietly moved toward the door of the room. A large male hand gripped her wrist as she passed, and questioning eyes locked with hers. Shaking her head slightly, she answered his question. No, she wasn't running from them again. She leaned forward and placed a soft kiss on Teagan's forehead. The pain she felt for her friend was nothing compared to what this couple had endured, and she wanted to give them space to work through the emotions. She also needed time alone to think of her future and to make decisions based on logic and sense rather than raw, intense passion.

    Bec had spent the last few hours quietly catching up on her housework and had just refilled the coffeemaker when slender arms wrapped around her middle and a sweet kiss landed on the side of her neck. Turning to face Teagan, Bec pulled her into her arms in a fierce embrace and held her tightly against her heart.
    "I'm so sorry I wasn't there for you."
    Teagan hugged her tighter. "I missed you, but I think I understand why you left."
    "Justin said the damage to your uterus is permanent"—Teagan nodded against Bec's chest—"but he didn't say anything
