      “Dr. Rourke asked me to drop off some prenatal vitamins for Natalie.

      “I was downstairs at the lab, so I just popped up.”

      “I’m sorry?” Patrick couldn’t make sense of the nurse’s explanation. Why would Natalie be collecting someone else’s prenatal vitamins?

      “We didn’t have any when she came in.”

      “When she came in?” he repeated, feeling as if he’d missed some vital point.

      It was six weeks since he’d made love to Natalie. And he had used protection.

      Natalie might have consulted with Dr. Rourke for a routine physical. But there was no reason for the obstetrician to send over prenatal vitamins unless…

      …his secretary was pregnant.
