contractions, that’s my right." She crossed her
arms over her breasts and glared at him.
    A smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth. "There's the
feisty Greek girl I remember from our first meeting. I was wondering where she
was hiding."
    "I haven't been hiding. I've been getting fat and sassy
according to your friend."
    He placed his hand on her knee. "Well, let’s just hope you
hang onto to that attitude." He shoved the long gauzy purple skirt she
wearing up past her knees. "Because we're going to end up being more
intimate than some lovers by the time this is over. And the first thing is
getting rid of this wet clothing." He snagged the elastic band of her
soaked bikini panties. "Lift."
    Grasping the arms of the chair she lifted, allowing him to jerk
them down. She winced as her bare bottom came in contact with the silky chiffon
of her skirt. Not that it mattered really, as the skirt was already ruined.
    "Well, this wasn't a sight I was expecting to see,
Gabe." Caelan , his hair damp and coat splattered
with snow and carrying a steaming pan of water, was followed by Nisey who had her arms full of table linens and towels.
"One would've thought you'd wait until after Zhenya has her baby before
trying to feel her up."
    A scowl crossed Gabriel's face. "And how about I kick your
ass for letting a laboring woman come to a baby shower?"
    "I wasn't aware there was any woman ready to birth...until
I caught Nisey in the kitchen trying to carry linen
and hot water at your request, Gabe. She filled me in on what was going
on." Caelan glared at Zhenya. "Do you think
I'd actually let a woman under my protection pull such a stunt?" Then he
set the water on the table, his hands went to his hips. His firmly set mouth
didn’t bode well, Zhenya decided as he approached them.
    "I told you. I wasn't going to ruin Nisey and Kalinda's shower because of some contractions my
doctor told me not to worry about."
    Caelen's mouth softened. "Braxton Hicks?"
    She nodded as he visibly relaxed. "Relax, Gabriel. There
was no devious scheme here. Women get them all the time and don't have their
babies for weeks. Kalinda had them several times
before she'd had the twins. It's normal."
    Gabriel looked a bit put out but sighed. "Fine...then care
to tell me how the hell you managed to get here?"
    Zhenya was curious about that herself. If Caelan could get here, perhaps she could get to the hospital. But Josh's words as he
entered with Kalinda put that hope to rest.
    "Because this fool…" His British accent thick as he
pointed towards Caelan . "….couldn't bear the
thought of being separated from his woman."
    Caelan scoffed. "And this idiot decided he couldn't wait for the emergency crews
to clear the roads to get to his baby, so we parked the truck and took a
shortcut through the back alley..."
    Zhenya's ears perked up. If the men could make it through this
back alley from their truck perhaps she could...
    "Don't even think about it. Pregnant or not, there isn't a
prayer I'm going to let you try and walk down a dark alley during a storm with
ice on the ground. These dumb assess shouldn't have even tried it."
Gabriel’s stern voice echoed through the room.
    "I..." She opened her mouth to protest when another
contraction hit her. She dug her fingernails into the polished wood before
dropping her gaze to Gabriel's waist. Standing as he was, she could clearly see
the design on his belt buckle. Using it to take her mind off the pain, she
tried to unravel the intricate markings.
    When it finally passed, she realized everyone including Gabriel,
was staring at her. "What?" Her cheeks reddened.
    "Either you find Gabriel's dick fascinating or..." Caelan cocked his head in concern.
    "Or she's using Gabe's belt buckle as a focus object," Kalinda interjected. Holding her hand out to Gabriel,
she wiggled her fingers in a ‘give it here’ motion. "Cough it up, Mr.
Calm, Cool and Collected."
    Gabriel's expression eased, and he reached for his belt,
unbuckling it before
