Dreams Quotes

“Piece of cake.“ Brandon’s grin had a certain very familiar male cockiness about it. “Dad says this time around I
was his sucker punch.“ His grin faded slightly and his expression grew more serious as he continued. “But when we
realized you were in danger, Dad went wild. I doubt if any car, even that old ‘vette Dad used to drive, ever made the
kind of time on River Road your Buick made last night. Dad really is a hell of a driver, isn’t he?”

“Dad says Specter gets steak every Saturday night for the rest of his life.“
“Specter will hold him to that, I’m sure.“ Diana leaned back against the pillows. “Hurry up and tell me the rest. Once
Colby gets back, he probably won’t tell me a thing. All he’ll want to discuss is breast-feeding techniques and how to
change diapers.”

“A little tired,“ Diana admitted. “But mostly I’m frustrated. I’ve got a million questions, and every time I tried to get
Colby to answer them last night he kept changing the subject.“
Brandon grinned. “He was more interested in making sure you and the baby were all right than in answering your
questions. Besides, after we got you two down from that cave, you kept drifting off to sleep every few minutes.”

“next shout of anguish filled the grotto.
“It’s okay, honey. I’m here.“
“Dad? Where are you? Where’s Diana? Is she all right? Oh, Christ. Dad, she’s having the baby.“
“Trust Diana to try to do this on her own.“ But Colby’s voice was infinitely gentle and soothing as he kneeled
beside her. “Everything’s going to be all right now, little amazon. I knew you would take good care of our baby until I
got here. I knew I could count on you.“
Diana let go, giving herself up to the urgent, overwhelming need to push that was suddenly hitting her. Everything
would be all right now. Colby was here”

“Colby was massaging her lower back with an automatic motion. He always knew when she was hurting.
She leaned into his warm palm, savoring the small comfort.
“You okay, honey?“ Colby asked with concern.
“I’m fine. Just the usual aches and pains. I’ll be so glad when this baby gets here.“
Colby grinned. “This from the woman who’s been worrying about surviving labor pains for nearly nine months?”

“I agree with you one hundred percent.“ Diana batted her lashes. “I think you’ve made a very wise decision,
Colby.“
He ran his palm up her bare arm. “And I think you’re picking up the finer nuances of being a wife faster than I’d
ever imagined you would. How the hell did I wind up agreeing to spend Christmas with Margaret Fulbrook?“
“How the hell did I wind up pregnant and unemployed and financially dependent on a man for the first time in my
life?“
“You forgot barefoot,“ he said with satisfaction. “At the moment you’re barefoot, pregnant and unemployed.“
She started to tickle him in the ribs. A few minutes later Colby’s sexy laughter aroused Specter. The dog sighed
heavily, got up and padded down the hall to find some peace and quiet in the living room.”

“He could afford to do things right this time around, and he didn’t intend to settle for anything less. Colby knew he
wasn’t doing it for the baby, who wouldn’t know the difference between a shiny new crib and a cardboard box. He was
doing it for Diana. He wanted her to take pleasure in everything that had to do with the baby. She was a woman who
appreciated nice things, and he was determined that she would be surrounded by them while she cared for their child.
Colby finished adjusting the position of the crib and took one last look around the room. All was in order.
This time he was ready.
And so was Diana, he had decided”

“handiwork. One thing his background in construction had given him
was a certain skill in taking care of the little things that a husband and father was always being called upon to do.
Diana admired his ability in the home improvement department, and Colby knew he occasionally gave in to the urge to
show off.
She would”

“Diana seemed content with her role of wife, too. Colby congratulated himself. He’d chosen well the second time
around, even if he had chosen in haste again. He’d learned a lot about Diana in the past few months. She was a mature
adult just as he was, and when she made a commitment, she kept it”

“Brandon’s teeth flashed in a brief, knowing grin. “Hard to believe you’re an old married man with one grown son
and another baby on the way, huh?“
“You’re wrong,“ Colby said. “I don’t have any trouble believing it at all. The reminders are all around me. And I’ll
tell you something, kid. I wouldn’t go back. Not for anything.“
“Things are a lot better now?“
“Things are infinitely better now.“ Colby’s mouth curved faintly. “The best they’ve ever been, in fact.“
“I can tell. I’m glad you found”
