Amara immediately tensed up. "What are you doing here?" she demanded.
Hogan snapped back to reality and blurted out, "Have you been in touch with Finnian lately?"
The question cout of nowhere. Amara's voice turned icy. "What's it to you?"
Her attitude was less than friendly, and Hogan felt his temper flare. They never really saw eye to eye, so what
was he doing here, looking for trouble? He turned on his heel and left.
Back home, Hogan couldn't shake the unsettling news that Liliana wasn't actually pregnant. It gnawed at him.
But by nightfall, a crucial thought struck him-Liliana wasn't pregnant yet had convinced Finnian she was. What
was her plan when the nine months were up? Was she going to bring in someone else's baby to pass off as
theirs?
The idea sent chills down his spine. The Everly family raising someone else's child? He couldn't let that happen.

it might be the end for them.
Once that was clear, Hogan changed direction, heading over to Liliana's place instead.
Liliana was still up, though the hour was late. She was curious why Hogan had cby.
Settling into her living room, Hogan accepted the cup of tea she offered. He eyed her, then her stomach. "Liliana,
you're not really pregnant, are you?"
Her heart skipped a beat, but she kept her composure, smiling. "Of course | am. What makes you think
otherwise?"
"I overheard you and the family doctor at the hotel," Hogan said bluntly.
Liliana's face lost scolor, and a nervous sweat broke out. Her mind raced.
Her first instinct was to ask, "Hogan, have you told Finnian?"
"Not yet," Hogan replied. "So it's true? You're not pregnant?"
"No..." she admitted reluctantly.
