Pregnant? Impossible! But somehow it's true. Maisie McDowell is about to become a single mom - with no knowledge of how she got that way....

Dr. James Sutherland's patients usually suspected they were pregnant, but Maisie seemed honestly bewildered by the news. Luckily James is also Maisie's neighbor, and able to offer her support...and more. But after all Maisie has been through, how can he put himself first and tell her that all he wants is to marry her and be a father to her unborn child...?
