The ultrasound image in my hand showed a tiny black circle-the pregnancy sac-nestled in the gray blur of my uterus. My finger traced the outline, a strange warmth spreading through my chest.
"Everything looks perfect, Ms. Shaw," the doctor said, her smile professionally reassuring. "You have a healthy intrauterine pregnancy developing normally."
I nodded, suddenly hit by a wave of dread as my mind wandered to the car accident. If I had been in that vehicle instead of Sean and Rachel...
"If it hadn't been for you two switching places with me, I can't imagine the consequences," I murmured, passing the ultrasound image to Rachel.
Rachel's face flickered with momentary concern before she smiled. "It's because you're always one step ahead, boss. You sensed someone might try something underhanded. This little one is already bringing you good fortune."
