to the station and lock him up. Then go over to the clinic and take Naomi s statement. I
assume you want to press charges? He looked at her.
I don t know& She held her head. I m kind of fuzzy.
Yes we do. Courtney said firmly. Absolutely, we want to press charges.

Ryan gazed from one woman to the other. You know, that means you ll actually have
to be here when he goes to court.
I know. Courtney nodded. We ll be here.
Naomi looked at her, still appearing dazed.
Rio grabbed a towel and dried the puddle on the floor as Roy and Ryan handcuffed a
laughing Gary and dragged him out.
Thank you, Naomi murmured to him.
No problem, Rio answered. Sorry this had to happen to you. Hope you ll be okay.
Courtney put her arm around her girlfriend. She ll be just fine. I m going to take care
of her. Oh, and tell your friend Nate, Naomi came up fighting. She got in a couple of
perfectly executed kicks, knocking that idiot to his knees.
Then Courtney beaned him with a lamp. Naomi chuckled.
Rio smiled. Nice work, ladies. I ll tell Nate. He ll be very proud.
He slipped out, and Courtney watched the police car and Ryan s SUV drive off. Are
you ready to go?
Where are we going? Naomi blinked.
To the clinic, sweetie. Lily s having her baby, and you re getting an x-ray.
Okay. She let Courtney lead her to the SUV in the garage and buckle her in the front
seat.
Courtney drove quickly, remembering the medical building was downtown near the
bookstore. She parked and helped Naomi in.
Thank heavens you re here! a nurse exclaimed. Lily s close. She s been asking for
you.
Naomi needs to be checked out, Courtney insisted.
That can wait. Naomi waved a hand. I should go to Lily. Do you want to come in?
Not really. Mind if I hang out here? She glanced around the waiting room. It looked
comfortable, with lots of magazines.
Sure. See you soon. Naomi pressed a quick kiss to Courtney s lips, and the nurse led
her to the back.
Courtney got a drink of water and then sat on a soft chair. She leafed through a
magazine before deciding she couldn t concentrate on anything. The day had started off
intensely in one way and was now even more intense in a completely different manner.

What an ordeal! For a supposed vacation , the whole trip to Cattle Valley had been
eventful. She d be glad to get home. Or will I? Courtney s head spun, and she hadn t even
been hit.
She wondered how Naomi was holding up in the labour room. She really wanted to be
with her but knew Lily needed her now. As soon as the baby was born Courtney wanted
to wrap herself around Naomi and never let go.
She leaned back in the comfortable chair and closed her eyes.

Hey, sleeping beauty. Naomi laid a hand on her arm. You awake?
Courtney started, sitting up quickly. What time is it?
Almost five p.m. The baby s here and he s perfect. He and Lily are resting.
Really? Courtney smiled. He s okay? I was worried about him.
Little Danny is doing just fine. Seven pounds, six ounces, twenty inches long.
Is that good? I m afraid I don t know much about babies.
Naomi smiled, nudging her arm. That s something you might just have to learn.
Courtney smiled back. Maybe. So, how are you?
They took an x-ray and ran a couple of tests. I m sure I m fine.
Is that what the doctor said?
Not exactly. He said he d be out to see me in a minute. But I just want to go home. Will
you take me, please?
Absolutely. As soon as the doctor says it s okay.
Ooh! Naomi muttered a frustrated groan and dropped into the chair next to her.
Here he is now. Courtney watched the silver-haired doctor stroll into the waiting
area.
Naomi, you have a concussion. I d like to keep you here overnight, just to be safe.
She shook her head. Honestly, I m fine.
What are you concerned about, Doctor? Courtney asked.
Probably nothing. We just need to wake her a few times during the night, make sure
she s fine.
Could I do it? If I took her home, I mean?

I don t see why not. She d probably get more rest at home than she would here. Let me
get her some pain meds and some care instructions before you go.
Perfect. Courtney smiled at him, and he walked out.
Thank you. Naomi put her head on Courtney s shoulder.
Anytime, baby. I love you. She turned her head, planting a kiss on Naomi s forehead.
I love you too. Naomi sighed and closed her eyes.

Naomi s head pounded when she opened her eyes. She was in her own bed but didn t
remember how she got there. Courtney? She tried to sit up, but it hurt too much. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
