Ranger's Baby Surprise (Special Forces Elite 2)

“Kinda feel’s like your on his side,” I scolded.
I was regretting this conversation. Not the fact that I was telling Savannah, there was nothing we kept from each other. Just the fact that it wasn’t going the way I had hoped.
“I'm not on either of your’s side. I’m on Em’s side. What’s gonna happen when that little girl asks you who her father is one day?”
“I’ll make sure he or I am out of this town by then,” I stated.
“Okay, but then when she goes and hunts Hawk down and finds out that you didn’t let him be apart of her life, how is that going to make her feel?”
“Thankful, I should hope. I can save her from the same heartbreak that I got. Sure Hawk wants to be all Dad hero back from the war now. What happens two years from now when he gets sick of this small town existence again?”
“I won’t put her through that.”
"Your right,” Savannah said after a pause. “It might not be worth the risk. He could up and leave the day after tomorrow without a word. So don’t tell Em who he is. Let him hang around a bit. If he leaves, then he leaves, and Em is none the wiser.”
“I mean, that’s assuming she doesn’t know already,” Savannah added after a beat.
“Oh hell no! I didn’t let him say anything to her,” I said still angry at his intrusion this afternoon. “Plus she was asleep the whole time he was here.”
“Asleep, huh? Anything rekindle while it was just the two of you?” Savannah asked with an alluring tone to her voice.
“Nooo,” I lied through my teeth.
“Mmhm, I bet.”
The phone went silent for a minute.
“Okay, I can’t bear it any longer. How did Dr. Hawk Smith look at least? I bet he was hot as fuck coming back all ripped and tan.”
“He looked the same,” I said as casually as I could.
“Well, he was already hot as fuck. You can’t tell me he wasn’t rock hard and dead sexy though after being in the SEALs.”
“He was a bit more muscular then I remembered,” I said hesitantly.
“Mmmhmmm, what else?”
“Well, I mean he was more tan, too. He grew a beard out, and his hair was way longer than it ever was before.”
“I bet you creamed yourself from just one look of those green beauties.”
“I couldn’t really say,” I replied blushing profusely.
“I bet you couldn’t.”
“It doesn’t matter how hot he is though, or how much he makes me wet my panties,” I said waving the air like Hawk was an irritating fly.
“So he did get you all hot and bothered.”
“Who cares,” I reiterated. “He is an unreliable tool that threw us away like yesterday’s trash.”
“I know,” she said as if she regretted that such a sexy body encased such an ass-hole.
“I say just sleep on things though. For Emma's sake. She deserves to have a dad if he wants to be there.”
My heart did sink a little. I did everything in my power to raise Emma as best as I could. That being said, there were still things I know she missed only having a single parent. If she had the chance to have both her parents in her life, shouldn’t I give that to her?
I would do anything for Emma. I hated that right now that meant swallowing my pride and possibly letting Hawk come around.
