When Ivy started to fall backward, the happiest person there was Kate. A slow smile curved across her lips as she waited for the show to start.
If the baby were gone, that would solve everything.
She wanted that child erased.
Ivy's body tipped through the air, completely out of control. Instinct took over, and she wrapped both arms around her stomach.
The baby!
Out of nowhere, a strong arm shot forward and caught Ivy around the waist. Instead of hitting the floor, she landed in a steady, warm chest.
She looked up, and Nathan's face filled her vision.
Her mind went blank. She had no idea why he was here.
Kate froze. She hadn't expected Nathan to show up, either.
"Ivy!" Madge came running over, breathless. "Ivy, are you okay? Mr. Lowe!"
Nathan kept one arm around Ivy as he helped her stand. His voice dropped low. "Did you get hurt?"
Ivy was still shaken. She pressed a hand to her stomach and slowly shook her head. "I'm fine."
"Nate!" Kate called out, trying to steady her voice.
Nathan's eyes cooled as they landed on her. "What were you doing?"
Kate swallowed. "I was just trying to help Ivy. I reached out to catch her, but she slipped on her own. Good thing you got here in time, or she could've been in real danger."
Madge shot back at Kate immediately, "Since when are you that kind? Looked to me like you pushed her."
Nathan glanced at Ivy. "What happened?"
Ivy opened her mouth, but Kate jumped in first. "Ivy, I didn't push you. I swear!"
