Arranged Marriage

By the time that Sean, Halia, and Jackson returned to the hotel, it was almost midnight.

While they were gone, Natalie had been sitting anxiously in her hotel room by herself. Her husband was going after a killer and her best friend was going after a corrupt officer that tried to kidnap her, so she was naturally worried.

Her life was like a drama - a drama in which she was of no help at all...

As soon as she heard the door of her hotel room open, she jumped straight up.

"A pregnant woman can't be stressed like this," she said when she saw the trio finally return. "Did you know that stress can have potentially harmful effects on the brain and development of an unborn baby?"

Sean quickly ran over and kissed his wife. "Does this take your stress away?" he asked. He understood how she felt, but this was the kind of life he led and she knew that when she married him.
