He Brought A Baby, I Brought A Lawyer

Synopsis

The night Charles Landon leaves on his business trip, they all keep me in the dark. Instead, they send Hannah Evans to him, the girl who had cost me my baby years ago, now back from "finding herself" abroad, pretending to be all sweet and reformed. He claims he doesn't want her there, but he still makes her his personal secretary for three long years. For three whole years, he has looked me right in the eye and promised me. He swears up and down there is absolutely nothing going on between him and Hannah. But the day he flies back, she steps off the plane right behind him. She is pregnant. Charles just looks at me, his voice dripping with that pathetic helplessness I know so well. "Hannah threatened to kill herself," he explains, as if he has no choice. "But you're the one I love. We can raise the baby. You'll be its mother." That was when I pulled out the divorce papers. You don't wait three years without a backup plan.
