of my house."
    Catching the bag in mid-air, Austin crossed in front of her and walked to the door.
    "All right, I will go with pleasure. I had already tired of your little cling-on attitude and had wanted to call it quits. Just remember, it is not me that's ruining what we had, it is you. You just have the hots for some other guy and can't be honest about it. I have always believed that you have the potential to be one terrific bitch and now I know that I am right."
    "If I do, it's you who have taught me. I learned from the master slut."
    "You just can't wait to drop me. Don't call me when things start to fall on your head."
    "I will never call you for anything. This is the last time you will ever hear from me." She promised before slamming the door on his retreating back.
    For nearly four years, minus that first week when she had called his home constantly without getting a response, she had kept that promise. She had not called him after she had gone to the gynecologist for her six months check up and received the devastating news that she was pregnant. She had not called him after the child's birth and if it had still been up to her, Austin would continue to know nothing about Brhin's existence.
    Catrine sat up and dragged her fingers through her hair in the hopes of shaking the memories from her mind.
    "God, Give me strength."
    Sliding from her seat, she turned and fell to her knees folding her hands and pressing her head to the cushions, she began to pray. She called on all the prayers she had learned as a child and every scripture that she could remember since becoming a born again Christian.
    "God, Give me strength," she repeated. "Please don't punish my baby for the things I have done wrong in life. Forget I said that. I know that you are not a God of punishment. Help me to have faith and patience in you. I truly believe that I will have Brhin here before the night is over. Just give me the strength to hold on."
    Standing, she paced the room checking the time on her watch as she did so.
    "7:00? God, has it only been an hour? Has it really been an hour since I found out my joy in life may be over?” She closed her eyes in pain of the thought. “Come on, Phae. Where are you? What’s taking you so long?"
    As if in answer to her questions, the doorbell rang. Believing she would be facing her sister, Catrine rushed across the foyer and flung open the door. The tall, broadly built, extremely muscled body of Austin Sanchez stood squarely in the middle of the doorway. The look that was frozen on his face made him seem as if he were made from stone.
    Her breath stuck in her throat and the urge to faint almost consumed her. She stared at the man blocking the entrance. Time flew backwards so quickly that she almost rushed into his arms, as had been her habit years before when opening the door and finding him standing behind it.
    "Austin?" She whispered.
    Catrine took a quick step backwards in surprise as he pushed his way into the tiny foyer. Her aching weariness was momentarily forgotten.
    "Yeah it’s Austin." He took note of her hurried steps backwards before shutting the door and putting his hands in his pockets. The act obviously showed his control over his anger. "Yeah, you had better back up. If you had any sense," he advanced as she retreated, "you would run and hide because right now, I could really do you some damage."
    He stopped advancing when she defiantly put her hands on her hips and stopped retreating.
    "I'm not afraid of you, Austin. I'm repulsed."
    Acknowledging her bravery with a mocking smile, he continued talking.
    "Be as repulsed as you want to be. I have just finished spending a mind blowing hour explaining to a little pit bull of a detective, that I was never informed that I had a son, let alone kidnapped him." Pulling his hands from his pockets with an enraged jerk, he grasped her by the upper arms and lifted her to his eye level within one quick movement.
    "Austin, put me down." She demanded through
