Chapter 120: Chapter 120: COMPASSION: FLYNN

Arrangements were made for a two-day shoot three weeks later in Chicago. We had made the concession to travel there because Keller had a gap in his schedule, although he was working there, he had a three-day break between two other shoots. Going back to Chicago was a bonus because I had felt it would be the ideal opportunity to check out a second OBGYN for Valerie because she as almost fourteen weeks at that point.

Glancing out of the window as our chartered airplane descended into Chicago, the city appeared peaceful covered in a thick blanket of snow. On the ground, the temperature was below freezing, and I held Valerie tightly as we transferred from the plane to the waiting black 4x4 SUV that took us home.

As we settled into the car, a twinkle in Valerie's eyes glinted with excitement at the pending video shoot ahead. We had two days before it was due to take place, and I'd arranged a doctor's appointment in the city for Valerie just to be safe.
