I’d do it.”“Well, yeah, but after hearing what’s on your plate,I’ll go. I can break away after tomorrow.”Ryan thought a moment and then made a splitseconddecision. “No, I’ll go.”“Whoa. Wait a minute. I thought you had Kelly withyou. A pregnant Kelly.”“Yeah, I do. I’ll take her with me. It’ll be perfect. It’llgive us time away from… It’ll give us some timealone to sort things out.”Ryan could hear Dev sigh all the way through thephone.“You honestly want her back? After everythingthat’s happened?”Ryan gripped the phone and stared out hiswindow. “I don’t know yet. I need some answersbefore I make that kind of decision. But if she’spregnant with my ba<strong>by</strong>, I’m not letting her go again.”“Okay, you go. I’ll email you all the issues. Justkeep me posted and let me know if you haveproblems. I can be there at a moment’s notice.”“Will do. Look, I know you and Cam think I’m nuts,but I appreciate you having my back.”Dev’s dry response was immediate. “Yeah, you’re
nuts. But whatever makes you happy, man.”Ryan hung up and stared at the phone for a longmoment before summoning Jansen. He gave him alist of instructions, starting with the need for Kelly tosee an obstetrician immediately. She’d need adoctor’s clearance to travel, but if the doctor gavethe okay, he planned for them to spend a few daysalone. And maybe they could start putting the piecesback together.Then he started a shopping list, ignoring Jansen’sgrimace. Kelly needed outfitting from head to toe.
