And by a husband whose only desire to retain their married state was as a barrieragainst any of his female companions who might show an inclination for a trip to the altar! If it had notbeen so lacerating, Jenna may have found it laughable, but as it was all she could do was worry.Abortion was out of the question, she wanted the baby too much for that.Even if Lane did not want her,she wanted his child with every fibre of her being, particularly after their first had-had.She forced herthoughts back to her most pressing problem.How on earth was she going to provide a good home life for the baby and yet keep working full time aswell?
