The second time around, Torey knows that Eileen is pregnant before they even conceive.

He spends five weeks straight watching her surreptitiously, sneaking glances and smiles when her back is turned. Simply waiting, he holds her close each night, one hand pressed low on her stomach.

“You knew, didn’t you?” she confronts him. “Don’t lie, something’s been up with you for weeks now. You bastard, you knew.”

Torey cringes. “Maybe?”

“Bastard,” she repeats, sighing. “Well, what’s the name? You must be able to tell me the name, at least.”

“Jacob,” Torey replies, relieved. “We’ll call him Jacob.”
