crawl and really liked being independent.
    She bent over to set him down, and he immediately toddled over to Cam. He held on to Cam’s leg and looked up at him.
    Cam ruffled her son’s hair. “I don’t know if it isbecause the last baby I was this close to was Nate, but he reminds me a little of my brother.”
    Becca felt as if her heart was going to beat right out of her chest. This would be the perfect moment to tell him why. “Well, it’s funny you should say that—”
    But his phone started ringing, and he pulled the BlackBerry out of his pocket. He glanced at the screen and then back at her.
    â€œI have to take this. Do you mind?”
    She shook her head and walked over to scoop up her son. She felt odd. She’d almost told him the most important bit of news he could hope to get and then business—work—had interrupted. Maybe that was a sign, she thought.
    â€œI’ll go get changed and be back in a minute,” she said, walking away.
    She had to remind herself that when she’d considered calling Cam and telling him that they were going to have a child, she’d decided not to because he just didn’t seem like the type of man to want a family.
    Their relationship had just been something to get them through the hot Miami nights. She knew that she was partially to blame for that. On some level, it had been exactly what she’d needed from him during that time. He hadn’t been ready for anything else, and she knew that because she’d bared her soul to him and he’d told her to hit the road.
    There were moments when she still wasn’t sure she believed she was a mom. She still didn’t believe that her life had taken this unexpected turn and she was where she was today.
    But she did want a new start. A part of her did want a partner to share the rest of her life with. And she and Cam did have sexual chemistry in their favor. One thing that Becca had figured out about herself over the last two years was that she missed sex and having a man in her life.
    She entered her bedroom and set Ty on the floor while she quickly changed into some nice caramel-colored trousers and a light blue sweater. She put her hair up in a chignon after she washed her face and applied her makeup. Looking in the mirror, she thought she seemed normal enough, but inside she was a mess.
    She sat down in the large padded armchair in the corner of her room. It had been her mother’s, and sitting there often made Becca feel closer to her.
    â€œWhat am I going to do?” she asked out loud.
    â€œMama?”
    She glanced over at Ty, who was walking slowly toward her, then decided crawling would be faster and dropped to all fours. “Yes, baby?”
    â€œWhere man go?”
    She bent over and picked him up, holding him on her lap. “He’s still out there making us breakfast.”
    Becca tried to talk in full sentences to Ty even though she wasn’t sure he always understood things. She kissed his soft forehead and felt such joy, love and comfort just from holding him. She didn’t want to do anything to jeopardize that.
    Her own mother had kept her father’s identity from Becca until Becca was eleven. But her father hadn’tbeen a very successful man, and it hadn’t been easy for Becca to locate him. In fact, she’d searched more than once for him but never found a trace.
    And that had left an emptiness inside of her. Something no amount of soul-searching or club-joining could fill.
    There had been other kids of divorced parents at her school, but she’d been the only one who hadn’t known her father. Heck, she never even knew his real name.
    She didn’t want that for Ty. Not when she had an opportunity to give him a father—his real father. She’d have to do it, she thought.
    She stood up and walked out the door with a purpose. Cam Stern was going to learn the truth about Ty today, and then she’d deal with
