doctor graciously sparing the time to educate the minions.
    ‘Hmm, it looks as though something has gone wrong. I’ll need to send her for a scan, of course, before I can determine exactly what.’
    ‘Of course,’ Lowri agreed dryly, wondering if he honestly thought she hadn’t worked that out for herself. ‘I’ve phoned Radiology and they can fit her in right away.’
    ‘Have you indeed?’ Cameron didn’t look happy about her taking the impetus from him. He frowned. ‘It might be best to wait a while, see if her breathing settles down, rather than rush things.’
    ‘I don’t think we can afford to wait,’ Lowri protested. She glanced at the monitor and shook her head. ‘Her sats are already low and we don’t want them dropping any further.’
    ‘I shall be the judge of that, Sister Davies,’ Cameron said repressively. He looked up when Donna Wilson, one of the newest additions to their staff, appeared. ‘Yes? What is it, nurse? If you have a message for me then be quick about it. As you can see, I’m extremely busy.’
    ‘I...um... It’s not for you,’ Donna said hurriedly. She turned to Lowri. ‘There’s a gentleman asking to speak to you, Lowri. He said it was urgent or I wouldn’t have interrupted you.’
    ‘Oh. Right. Did he give you a name?’ Lowri asked, wondering who it could be, unless it was the parent of one of their young charges, of course.
    ‘Lombardi...or at least I think that was what he said,’ Donna told her, and blushed. ‘I may have got it wrong, though. Sorry.’
    ‘No, it’s fine.’ Lowri only just managed to stop herself blushing too. What was Vincenzo doing here? she wondered as she turned to Cameron. They’d already agreed that he would telephone her when he received the DNA results so it couldn’t be that. What did he want? Unless he was having second thoughts and had come to tell that he wouldn’t be going through with their plan after all.
    The thought was more than she could bear. Ignoring the annoyance on Cameron’s face, she tersely informed him that she would be back shortly and hurried to the office. Vincenzo was standing by the window when she went in and he turned when he heard her footsteps. Just for a moment his expression was unguarded and Lowri felt her breath catch. Why was he looking at her that way, as though he had never really seen her before? She had no idea what it meant and before she could attempt to work it out, the shutters came down again.
    ‘I thought I should let you know that I was in England,’ he said curtly, moving away from the window.
    ‘I...ehem... So I can see.’ Lowri took a quick breath and used it to chase away any more such fanciful notions. Vincenzo hadn’t looked at her any differently from how he had looked at her when they had last met, she told herself firmly, yet, oddly, the reassurance had less effect than it should have done. In her heart she knew that something had changed.
    ‘Is there a reason why you decided to come here?’ she said, refusing to dwell on the thought. What difference did it make how Vincenzo looked at her? Her only concern was that he hadn’t changed his mind about them having this baby.
    The thought brought a rush of heat to her face and she looked away, needing a moment to calm herself down. Every time she thought about what needed to happen if she was to have this child, she found herself shying away from it. However, she couldn’t keep ignoring the facts, couldn’t pretend that it was going to be an immaculate conception. She was going to have to impregnate herself with Vincenzo’s sperm if this child was to be born.
    ‘I decided it was time that I met Megan. Bearing in mind that you contacted me specifically to help her, I thought it only right.’
    He gave a very Latin shrug, his shoulders moving lightly beneath his perfectly tailored jacket. He was wearing formal clothes that day—a dark grey suit teamed with a cream shirt and a grey and tan silk tie. He looked every inch the
