water bottle into the trash and hopped on the treadmill next to hers.  “I think Lil will be a great addition to your program.  She’s really good with kids and I couldn’t imagine not having her here.”
    “Well, that explains it.”  She wiped her forehead.  “Last week when you told me you were coming over, I actually thought you had seen the light and you were ready to jump into my bed.  Now I know you hold a torch for Lily.  And good for you.  She’s gorgeous.”
    Kevin chuckled.  “Nothing like that.  Lil’s a good friend.  She’s friends with Moretti and his wife. She’s been looking for a position in LA for a few months now and I know she’ll be good for you.”  He leaned in and kissed Liz on the cheek.  “And thank you for the invite.  I may just take you up on that someday.”
    Liz smiled.  “You are so sweet and so full of shit.”  She laughed when Kevin dipped her and kissed her on the mouth. 
    Liz had been involved with Kevin’s best friend when they were in college.  Spending every weekend with the legendary Kevin Merck had solidified her desire to be exclusive.  Daniel died in a car accident a few months after Kevin’s sister had been killed.  They had turned to each other for comfort and had been exactly what the other needed.  She had helped Kevin heal, finding him help through the guidance counselor at the university.  After months of joint meetings, Liz had graduated and taken a job at an elementary school for children with special needs.  On her first day, she had met Scott Hilton and married him a year later.
    Andi ran through the front door of the gym looking flustered and out of breath.  Still mid dip, Kevin’s eyes met hers and the look on her face stopped him in his tracks.
    “Where the hell is your cell phone?”  Andi threw him a towel and jogged toward the office.   “Why have one if people can’t reach you ?  Let’s go.”  She ripped the phone from the charger and stopped to stare at the treadmills.
    “What the hell’s going on?   Why didn’t you call the gym?”
    “Would it have mattered?  You have your hands full.  Where’s your car?”  Andi glared at Liz.
    “I have the bike.  What’s up?  Andi?  Hey?”
    Andi pushed past him.  “ Layla’s in labor.  Let’s go.”
    Kevin threw the keys to Liz.  “ Lizzy, lock up for me.  I’ll come by tonight and pick them up.  I’ll bring Lil.”
    “Shocking.”  Andi mumbled under her breath.
    “Just get on the bike, Allen.  I don’t need your mouth today.”  Kevin threw her a helmet. 
    “I can’t ride on this.”  Andi’s face went pale.  “You go.  I’ll meet you there.”
    Kevin took Andi’s face in his hands.  “Trust me.  For once in your life, just trust me.  I would never hurt you.  Hold onto me.”
    She wrapped her arms around his waist and took a few deep breaths.  She buried her head against him as tears ran down her cheeks.  “You hurt me every single day.”  She whispered.
    “Right back at ya, slick.”
    She tensed.  “How did you hear me?”
    “Skull candy, doll.  You can talk to me the whole way there if you need to.  Now, hold on, I’m not missing this.”

    Andi threw on her cap and mask and scrubbed her hands.  Her rotation in labor and delivery was new but she had been in three deliveries in her first week.  She took a deep breath as she stepped into the room that she knew would change her life.
    Layla was quiet, breathing deeply as Ryan paced the room.  She smiled as she placed her hand on Ryan’s arm.  “Deep breaths, West.  It won’t be long until you’re holding that beautiful baby.”
    Ryan’s head snapped up and locked eyes with Andi.  “Thank God you’ re here. I’m freaking out.”
    Andi giggled.  “Go sit down with Lay.  Rub her back.  Do whatever it takes to get you both to relax.  I need to check and see how far along she is.”
    Layla winked as Andi looked up at her.  “Well, doc?  What’s the
