Nathan's POV

"Good morning, Nate. So when do we go meet your friend?" She asks as she quietly walks into the kitchen and sits down at the island. I turn around and smile.

"We can leave after we finish up with breakfast. In a jury to find out who you are?"
"Not in a hurry, just want to find out who I am and where I come from for the baby."
"I just hope that we find everything for you and not disappoint you."

I turn my attention back to the stove and finish up breakfast. I make our plates and set hers in front of her and I sit down next to her.

"This looks amazing, and it smells good too."

"Thank you, how are you feeling this morning?"
"A little nauseous but I think I will be okay."
"Have you remembered anything else since the hospital?"
"No, and I haven't had any dreams either."
We sit and eat quietly for a few minutes, until I see her look at me and the color drained from her face as she runs to the bathroom and empties her stomach into the nearest toilet. I quickly follow her and kneel next to her and hold her hair back and rub her back. She eventually sits back leaning on the wall. Her face is flushed and sweat beads across her forehead.

"Uggh, I hate that you see me like this. I'm so sorry. You made breakfast for us and I couldn't even keep it down."
"It's okay sweetheart. The little one is giving you fits. I don't take offense to it, and I told you I would be here for you through all of it."
"I think I'm okay now."
I stand up and hold out my hand for her to help her up.

"How about I make some dry toast for you? See if you can hold that down. Then we can go see Mike after that."

"Sounds like a plan to me, thank you."
We walk back into the kitchen and I quickly clean up the island so she doesn't have to smell it and make some toast for her. We sit and talk for a little while letting her stomach settle and then we head out to my trunk to go see Mike. The drive was quiet and I didn't want to pressure her to say anything because I knew she was trying to remember things. Her hand lay across the center console and I placed my hand on hers as I rubbed the back of it with my thumb. Out of the corner of my eye I see her turn and look at our hands and a small smile creeps across her lips as she looked over at me and then looked back out the window She never moved her hand and i was enjoying the warmth of her skin as we finally pulled up to the police station and parked.

"Are you ready?"
"Let's get this over with."
We walk inside and up to the front desk. We stand there for a few seconds waiting for the receptionist to acknowledge us being there. After a few minutes, I cleared my throat to get her attention.

"Can I help you?" She asked, annoyed with us being there.

"We are here to see Officer Mike Cantrell."
"Let me see if he is available. Go have a seat."

"Tell him that Nathan is here to see him. I told him we would be by."
"MMhmmm" she said as she rolled her eyes and went back to find him. After a few minutes he came out with a huge grin on his face. He walked over and stuck out his hand for me to shake. I stood up and took it in my hand.

"Hey man, how have you been? It's been a while. Come on back and we'll get started." We follow him back to his office, and we sit down in the chairs in front of his desk. "So this is the young lady that you told me about?"
"Yes, we call her Lilly."

"You have no idea who you are?" He asks her.

"No, I don't. Nathan found me on the side of the road. I had no id or anything of importance. I was walking in the pouring rain with a broken arm and a concussion as well as many cuts and bruises."

"Oh, you poor girl. They never found anything?"
"No, not at all. Not even a car that I may have wrecked."
"What made you come to me?"
"I recently found out I am pregnant and Nathan said you were good at finding people. I want my baby to know his family if we can."

"Congratulations, I will definitely look as best as I can for the father."

"I'm not sure if you will be able to find him. I have been having nightmares since that day and in many of them I see a man's death and I think it may be him."

"I'm sorry. We will do our best. I would like to take your picture and fingerprints so I can put them in the database and send it to surrounding states. I will do my best to find your family."

"Thank you so much."
"You're very welcome. I hope I can be of service."

He takes her back to get her picture and fingerprints. I followed behind and waited while she got this done. I watch as he takes her hand and places her fingers in the ink and presses them against the paper to capture her prints. Why do I feel a knot in my stomach? Am I jealous that he is touching her and not me? I need to snap out of it. What is my problem? He is my friend and he is only doing his job. They are soon done and he walks us back to the front.

"Alright, well I will get these into the system and start the process. I will let you know in a few days if we are doing anything."

"Thanks Mike, we need to get together soon."
"Thanks again." she says with a small smile.

"You're welcome, sweetheart. You got it Nathan, just let me know the time and place."
"You got it."
We head out and for some reason I possessively place my hand on the small of her back and lead her out to the truck and we climb in and drive off.

"Are you hungry, Lilly?"

"Actually I am."

"What would you like for lunch?"
"I am craving a cheeseburger and fries."
"Well, I know the perfect place."

We drove downtown to the local diner and park. We walk in and sit down in a booth and the waitress comes over.

"Hey guys, nice to see you again."
"Hey Suzy."

"What are we having today?"

We would like two cheeseburgers and fries."
"Can I have extra cheese?"
"Sure, anything else on the burger?"

"Everything"

"What would you two like to drink?"

"I'll have a coke." I answer.

"Could I have a chocolate shake and some water?"

"Absolutely, I will be right back with your drinks."
She heads off leaving us alone for a few minutes.

"Are you hungry?"
"I am actually starving."
"Not feeling nauseous anymore?"
"No, I am actually feeling good at the moment."
"That's great. How are you feeling about Mike?"

"He's nice and I hope that he is able to find out who I am."
"He is the best at that. He is a great guy."
"And a great friend."
I smile as she says that. Maybe I don't have to worry about him. Suzy brings our drinks and sets them down in front of us.

"Your food will be out shortly."
"Thanks, Suzy." I say as she heads off and leaves us to our conversation. Lilly quickly takes a drink of her shake and a small moan escapes her lips. I shift a little in my seat trying to make my pants a little more comfortable.

"MMmm, this is so yummy."

"That good, huh?"
"The best I ever had."
I chuckle and shake my head as she dove into her milkshake and eventually our food came out. Suzy set our plates in front of us.

"Anything else I can get for you two?"
"No, I think we are good for now."
"Thank you." Lilly answers.

Suzy walks off to check on her other customers. Lilly digs into her cheeseburger and I see her eyes roll back.

"Oh my god! This is amazing! Mmmmm"

I swear this girl is going to be the death of me. Those little moans that come from her lips are killing me. I shift again in my seat and try to discreetly adjust myself. We sit in comfortable conversation as we eat. We talked about what went on this morning and her wanting to go back to work.

"I think that would be fine and good for you. I just want you to rest for a couple days, then start again Monday. I know I can't tell you what to do, I just want you to be okay before you go back."
"I think you're right. I have a lot to think about. I think a few days would be good."

"We need to set up your next appointment too."
"Yes, that's right. He wanted me to see Dr. Wesleyan in two weeks."
"We can set that up when we get home."
Once we are done, I pay for lunch, and we head back to the house. After we are back home Lilly calls the doctor's office and sets up her appointment and the guys call to check up on us. I let them know that we went to see Mike and he got everything started and would let us know when anything comes up. Lilly goes back to work on Monday and is doing well. She does have bouts of nausea and my mom gives her some secrets to help calm it down. We don't have any information on her yet. Mike is searching even farther to find anything. He has put her information into the missing person database so maybe we might get any hits from them. It is finally the day of her first appointment and she is a little nervous.

"Lilly, are you ready? We need to get going if we want to be there on time."

"I'll be down in a second, I'm just putting on my shoes."
After a few minutes she comes down the stairs and I can't take my eyes away. She is in a beautiful blue sundress that shows off her tan skin. She smiles as she comes down the stairs and I can't take my eyes off of her.

"Are you ready to go?" She asks as she walks up to me and kisses my cheek. There is a warmth that spreads across it and I am sad that it is over too quickly.

"Shall we go?" I hold my elbow out for her to take and she slides her hand around it.

"Yes, let's go."
We walk out together to the truck and I open the door for her and she climbs in as I head around to my side. We soon pull up to the doctor's and head inside. We walk up to the desk and they hand her some paperwork to fill out. She fills it out as best she can and hands it back to the receptionist and sits back down next to me as we wait to be called back. It's not too long before we hear her name and we go back. They take her weight and put us into an exam room. The doctor soon comes in.

"Good morning, How are we feeling today, Lilly?" Doctor Weslynn asks.

"I'm actually feeling food today. Most mornings I am nauseous and vomiting."
"Well, that is usual for the first trimester. Any pains or anything you find unusual?"

"No, not at all."
"So, I see here that you suffer from amnesia?"
"Yes, I have had it for a couple months. I am still trying to find out who I am."
"I hope you do, too. So is this the father?"
"No, I am the one that found her and have been taking care of her." I answer quickly.

"Well, that's very sweet of you. Not many men will take on another's responsibility."

"I told her that I would take care of her and the baby."

"You need to keep this one." Dr. Weslynn says to Lilly with a smile.

"I may have a significant other somewhere." Lilly says as she looks down. I can see a tear flow down her cheek and it breaks my heart. It felt like a knife through my heart when she said that. I almost wish that he really wasn't around somewhere. Does that make me a bad person?

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay. He has been really sweet to me though."

"Well I need to run some tests for you. Then we will get the ultrasound to take a look at your baby."

The doctor heads out and a nurse comes in to take some blood samples and then the doctor comes back in with the ultrasound machine.

"Alright Lilly, let's get you up on the table. Pull your dress up and I will put the drape over your legs. This gel will be cold." She puts the gel on Lilly's stomach and she winces at the cold. The doctor then slides the wand around and finally finds what she was looking for. "Here is your baby. Looks like they were right. You are about ten weeks along. Everything looks great." She turns a few dials and the most amazing sound comes through the speakers. I look over and see tears fall from her eyes. As I realize there are tears in mine as I reach for her hand and lightly squeeze it. It's one of the most amazing sounds I have ever heard.

"Is that the heartbeat?" Lilly asks.

"Yes, and it sounds very strong. I am going to take some pictures and send them up front for you. I would like to see you again in four weeks."
"Thank you doctor." Lilly smiles.

"Yes, thank you." I add.

The doctor heads out and I help Lilly get cleaned up and down off the table. I hugged her tight to me.

"Thank you so much for letting me be a part of this. It is so amazing."

"You're welcome. Thank you for being there for me."
"Always."

We walk out to the front and collect the pictures and schedule her next appointment.
