Sweet and Sassy Baby Love

by Alicia Street

  “Yes! And then the night is ours. Until Princess Isabella decides she wants to party with us.”

  “I can’t think of three other people I’d rather spend the evening with,” Tony replied as they strapped babies into car seats. “Hurry before someone tries to stop us.”

  “Roberta knows. She’ll make an announcement that we’re on our way home.”

  Tony took a moment to embrace his beautiful wife. “I love you so much.”

  “Tony, I love you, too. Thank you for my beautiful life. Now let’s get home.”

  “We’re on our way.”

  Guests watched as the big white truck with two occupied car seats and the beautiful couple talking animatedly made its way down the road, headed to paradise.

  Chapter One

  Madelyn Ramsay forced her leaden legs to move along with the bustle of nurses and doctors. White coats and blue scrubs flocked to the end of the conference room where the newly promoted director of the Women’s Clinic at St. Lucy’s Hospital accepted hugs and handshakes.

  “Our best wishes, Dr. Preston.”

  “Congratulations, Nick. You made it, man.”

  “Let’s celebrate tonight at the Sea-Waves Bar,” Nick Preston hollered over the joyful cacophony. “My treat,” he specified with his usual charismatic grin.

  “Yeah.” His staff cheered and scattered around.

  Above the departing crowd, Nick’s gaze questioned hers. Unease floated in the dark blue eyes of the over-confident doctor. Madelyn moved closer to where he stood. She no longer resented him for snatching the promotion she’d worked so hard to obtain—the special Christmas gift she’d promised herself. To no avail.

  New concerns had toppled her ambitious dreams. For the first time in her life, she was forced to concentrate on her health and worry about unexpected problems. Heck, she’d be lucky if she could continue to practice past the Christmas holiday. Her fingers tingled and her hand shook at the horrible prospect.

  Lifting her chin, Madelyn smothered the anxiousness gnawing at her heart and reached Nick after most of the staff had withdrawn. “Nick, you’ll make a wonderful director.” Ignoring his arms opened for a hug, she congratulated the tall and handsome doctor with a bright smile.

  “No hard feelings?” He dropped his hands to his side and tilted his head, peering at her under arched eyebrows. “You badly wanted the position.”

  “I did. But we competed. You won. You have more experience anyway. Fair is fair.”

  “It’s good to hear you say that. Thank you, Madelyn.” Still his frown didn’t relax. “I hope I’ll see you a
t the Sea-Waves?”

  Drinking, chatting, and cracking jokes in a bar were the last items on her agenda tonight. She hesitated for a fraction too long.

  “If you’re too busy as usual…” Nick’s sensuous lips curled at the corner with derision.

  “Can’t miss such a special event, Dr. Preston. I’ll be there. Probably a bit late. I have errands to run as soon as I leave the hospital.” She’d turned down his invitation for dinner several times in the past year, yet she didn’t want him to think she resented him for his well-deserved promotion.

  “As long as you show up, I’ll feel honored.” He broke into a devilish smile that had worked its magic on weaker feminine hearts.

  Steel tweezers pinched her insides. But she chuckled when his sober gaze focused on her. “Madelyn, I wish—”

  “Sorry but I have to run now if I want to make it to your celebration. See you later, Nick.”

  “Sure. You’re always so busy.” He gave her a knowing glance and nodded.

  Without waiting for more, she spun and strode out of the conference room. In her office, she peeled off her white coat, gathered her purse, and braced herself for the most important meeting of her life.

  A moment later she cursed the heavy traffic as her Toyota zoomed on Highway 95. Last week she’d managed to get an appointment with a renowned neurologist in Miami. There was no way on earth she’d visit a local doctor and risk unsavory questions from well-intentioned acquaintances. Everyone in the medical community of Fort Lauderdale knew each other and too many reveled in gossip and explosive news. Dr. Ramsay retiring from Neonatology at the tender age of thirty-five would churn many imaginations. Oh God, I hope it doesn’t come to that.
