The Surgeon's Baby Surprise

Even the words tasted bitter in his mouth.

He knew instantly that he’d said the wrong thing. If he’d felt he’d somehow passed some unknown test earlier, he knew he’d clearly fallen short of the mark now. A shuttered expression dropped over Evie’s features and her voice turned cold.

‘That’s all I needed to know.’ Her voice was shaking. Whether from anger or distress, he couldn’t be sure, but his own emotions were too uprooted to care.

‘Please leave, Max.’

How had this turned around so that she was the one furious with him?

He swung around incredulously.

‘Really, Evangeline? For the last twelve months you have wilfully kept the knowledge of my baby from me, and now you’re the one acting hard done by?’

‘Because you’ve just told me you thought I should have...never had her.’

‘Don’t put words in my mouth,’ he bit out. ‘I was only concerned about the impact on your health as well as the baby’s. You admitted yourself that the stress of carrying a baby was too much for your body and they had to carry out a C-section when it was only seven months old.’

‘She.’

He looked at her in confusion.

‘Pardon?’

‘My baby is a she, not an it,’ Evie choked out at him.

‘Fine. She.’ Had he really said it?

He hadn’t meant to but he was still processing the news. Dead air compacted the room, making it hard to catch a deep breath. Hard even to think.

‘So the baby is all right? She’s well?’

The look of pride that lit up her eyes was unmistakeable.

‘Yes, she’s well.’

‘How long was she in NICU?’
