Reunited...With Child by Katherine Garbera Page B

anything happened to him. He didn’t want to leave Becca on her own with no one again. And he knew that she’d never agree to sharing custody with his brothers, but he wasn’t about to ask. Some things were just too important to leave to chance.
    Feeling better about Ty’s future, he got up to go back to bed when he got a text message from Justin.
    Â 
    You have a son?!?!
    Â 
    Cam quickly typed in his response.
    Â 
    It’s after midnight. Why aren’t you sleeping?
    Â 
    Selena and I are working. Now tell me I read that email right you have a son?
    Â 
    Yes. 18 months old. Ty Cameron Tuntenstall. Can you do everything I asked?
    Â 
    First thing tomorrow. What about the mother?
    Â 
    She is living with me. I don’t know where it will lead.
    Â 
    We need to talk.
    Â 
    Tomorrow or Friday night before Nate’s rehearsal dinner party.
    Â 
    Selena’s home so I’m going to let this drop until tomorrow. But I want to know what the hell is going on. We’ll talk later.

    Cam walked over to the bar and poured himself two fingers of Johnnie Walker, slinging it back in one gulp. He had made mistakes in business and some of them had been costly, but they’d never made him doubt himself the way this thing with Becca and Ty did.
    He didn’t know if it was simply because he’d never intended to have a family of his own. Or because, having been presented with Ty, now he was starting to rethink himself and his entire life.
    His brothers had settled down, and he wasn’t sure that he ever would. But now that he had Ty, he sort of wanted to. Becca was an added complication. One he thought he’d have a better handle on if he had her back in his bed.
    But sex hadn’t made things any easier to figure out. That ticked him off. He poured another glass of Johnnie Walker and sipped it this time, taking the glass with him back to his bedroom. He walked in and didn’t bother to turn on any lights. He went into the bathroom and washed up from earlier when he’d had sex with Becca and then padded naked back to his bed.
    The moonlight streamed in through the one window blind he’d left open, and he stared at it. His dad had always said that with the moon to guide life’s journey, nothing bad could befall them. But Cam knew his dad hadn’t counted on a journey like this one.
    He walked back across the room, pulled back the sheets and slid into bed.
    Becca rolled over into his arms.
    â€œWhat are you doing here?” he asked her, pushing himself back a few inches.
    â€œI didn’t want to sleep alone tonight. I’ll do anything as long as you let me stay.”
    He couldn’t push her away. Not when she’d given him the one thing he’d desperately wanted but had beenprepared to deny himself. He pulled her into his arms and held her close as they both drifted off to sleep.

    The next morning, Becca woke up to an empty bed and quickly climbed out and went back to her room. She was embarrassed that she’d been so needy last night but was determined to make today a much better day.
    She showered and got dressed and realized she hadn’t heard a peep out of Ty.
    She raced across the hall to his room, but the crib was empty. She hurried downstairs and found the housekeeper, Mrs. Pritchard, in the kitchen.
    â€œHave you seen Ty this morning?” Becca asked.
    â€œI have. Mr. Stern took him with him to the golf course. He should be back in about twenty minutes. Breakfast is going to be served on the terrace shortly.”
    â€œThank you, Mrs. Pritchard.”
    â€œNo problem. Mr. Stern left word you weren’t to be disturbed.”
    â€œI appreciate that. Yesterday was a long day. Moving is tough work,” she said.
    â€œSo I hear. I’ve lived in the same house since I was born. My parents gave it to me when I got married.”
    â€œReally?” Becca asked.
    â€œYes, dear. They wanted to buy an RV and
