“Yeah. It doesn’t matter how strong we are. We’re still human, with the capability to feel pain and empathy. You did everything you could to save your boss, including putting your life and your baby’s life in danger.”
Taylor looked up at him with a surprised look in her tear-filled eyes.
“Yeah,” Lincoln confirmed with a smile. “Victor told me the good news. Don’t worry, your secret is safe with me.”
“We’re not ready to announce. Especially now.”
“I understand. Congratulations. I’m very happy for you both.”
She swiped a tear from her cheek and blessed him with a smile. A weak smile, but a smile nonetheless.
Lincoln draped his arm around her shoulder and pulled her into a hug. As she relaxed against him, he whispered, “I need you to stop worrying and concentrate on growing that little Creed. You understand, little sis?”
She nodded against his chest.
“Promise?”
“Promise.”
