Charles's voice was soft as velvet, but every word was firm as steel.

Evelyn shot him a glare, her frustration bubbling over into a sharp, bitter laugh. "Charles, the baby's in my body. I'd like to see you try and stop me if I decide not to keep it!"

"Eve, please tell me what I have to do for you to keep our baby."

Seeing her anger, Charles's tone gentled, almost pleading. He knelt beside her hospital bed, desperation in his eyes.

He wanted this baby-his and Evelyn's. He knew it was the last thing connecting them. As long as she was carrying his child, he still had a chance. He wanted that chance more than anything. She was the girl he'd set his heart on since he was ten. If it were up to him, he'd never let her go.

"Eve, this is a life. Could you really be that heartless and let her go?"

Charles's eyes were shining, on the verge of tears.
