Turner's Vision (37 page)

“Little one, that’s why I wanted you to have your wish. I dragged Nathan’s family and the Doc up here so you could have our daughter just the way you wanted to. I love you so much, Claudia, that I’d do anything to make you happy.”

“Mmm…say that again.”

“That I want to make you happy?”

“No. I mean the other part.”

“I love you.” He leaned over to once again kiss her. “My life was empty until you came into it with your love and your family. Visions make lonely bed partners, my dear. I much prefer you in the flesh to them.”

“You haven’t had any more, have you?” she asked worriedly.

“Not a one. It would seem they’ve been put to rest for now.” He kissed her once more, then went to the door, calling Laura back in. “I think you two ladies need to see that my daughter gets fed.”

“Where are you going?” Claudia asked.

“To break the unfortunate news to our sons that they don’t have another brother, but a sister they’ll have to protect.”

The two women laughed as he left the room.

Micah stepped onto the porch. Walking into the cold November night, he headed to the barn where the boys had spent the day and night waiting out the delivery.

He’d told Claudia the truth. The visions and bad feelings no longer haunted him. He didn’t know if they were gone forever, but for now his world was full of love and peace. He looked up into the star-filled sky, and said a small prayer of thanks for his family and the woman that was the center of it all.

Clint Preston came to Westen for the year to fill in as the town doc while his uncle took a long needed vacation. Clint also needed a sense of peace and calm to try to find his passion for medicine burned out by long shifts in an urban hospital’s ER. Angered to find two boys in his clinic with broken wrists and no accompanying parent, he is determined to confront their mother. The feisty redhead he meets quickly dispels his belief that she’s a neglectful mother, but he can see her situation is more critical than she wishes to face and finds himself volunteering to help care for her sons and the remodeling of her home.

As Emma and Clint forge a relationship among the slightly off-beat characters that inhabit Westen a menace from Emma’s past threatens her and her sons. Clint and Emma join forces to prevent the loss of either boy and the love they’ve discovered in each other’s’ arms.
