Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

Maja's baby bump was starting to show, and lan, not one to take any chances, had scheduled a check-up at the hospital for the

next day. He wanted everything to be thoroughly examined.

"Beck tookfor a check-up before, it's not necessary," Maja protested gently.
