one with the big white fence you can’t see over that surrounds the property?”
    She looked towards the general location.
    “The really big stone one,” he added.
    “Yeah, I know what one you mean.” And she did. She stared at it from her bedroom window every night before she closed the blinds on the window.
    “I’m assuming you haven’t met your new neighbors,” he added , trying to not break into laughter, but the entire thing was seriously funny.
    “No why?”
    “Ethan and Elizabeth Blackhawk own the house right behind you.”
    Desdemona felt sick to her stomach.
    “Welcome to the neighborhood.” Now he did start to laugh.
     
    Aw hell .
    No double hell .

    Monday Mid-morning
     
     
     
     
    Elizabeth sat in her office, her boots up on the corner of her desk, as she rubbed her belly with her hand. She was absently staring out the window and didn’t hear her husband enter her office. Thoughts were plaguing her mind, and the predominant one was regarding her brother-in-law and his safety.
    Blackhawk just sat and watched his wife massaging their child as it grew protected in her body. She’d told him that when the baby started getting bouncy, rubbing her belly helped soothe him. It still amazed and captivated Ethan that she was pregnant and by summer they’d have a little one of their own.
    Elizabeth felt him near and looked over. “Hi handsome, were you there long?” she asked.
    “Baby all hyper?” he asked, as he closed her door and walked over to her. “I haven’t been staring at you long,” he winked.
    “Good to know I haven’t lost my instincts,” she answered. “Baby Blackhawk is really hyper today. I think he knows we’re heading into the field and is all excited.”
    Blackhawk kneeled beside his wife on her chair and pulled up her shirt and gave the bump kisses. “Daddy loves you,” he whispered to her belly.
    Elizabeth’s heart went all mushy, that her tough Indian warrior was kissing her belly and talking to their child. There would never be anyone she could love more than this man.
    “We nee d to figure out a name for you,” he whispered to her growing belly. “Or your momma will seriously call you ‘ Baby Blackhawk ’ all your life.”
    Elizabeth snorted. “I will not! Stop lying to the child already!”
    “Want to tell me what you were worried about? I’m going to guess it’s not about what to name our child. That only leaves a few more possibilities.”
    “No, I already have my choice for baby names. It’s a done deal for me. I’m just waiting on your choice so we can figure it out.”
    Blackhawk rubbed her belly and felt his child moving again. “I have a few thoughts on that, but I’m not one hundred percent sure yet.” He looked up at his wife. “What has you worried, baby?”
    “ I’m worried about Callen.”
    Ethan Blackhawk would like to be surprised, but he knew the two of them had a special bond. “What specifically?”
    “We just sent him there alone until we get there , and that has me wondering if it was a good idea.”
    Blackhawk laughed and stood . The love he felt for this woman was immeasurable, that she’d be worried about his brother this much. “Don’t worry momma bird; the baby bird is ready to fly the nest, and he’s been trained to keep himself safe. As for Doctor Adare, Callen’s a man and his natural instinct will kick in fast.”
    “Oh, so are you saying a man can protect a woman better than a woman can protect a man?” Elizabeth crossed her arms and rested them on the bump , daring him to pursue that line of thought. “I’m sure you didn’t mean to make that sound as chauvinistic as it sounded, Ethan.”
    Blackhawk laughed and leaned down to kiss his wife on the lips.
    “No answer and kissy-face. I guess that’s my answer.”
    “I’m simply saying that my brother is a smart man, he’s been trained, and he’ll do the job. Have faith in him,
