Take a trip down memory lane with this never-before-told story of the birth of Mishca and Lauren’s second child! Two years into med school, the last thing Lauren Volkov was expecting was a positive pregnancy test. Between studying for classes, being a mother to a rambunctious two-year-old, and coming to finally understanding her role as the wife of a Pakhan, she has enough on her plate as it is. But that doesn’t stop the excitement from creeping in. Or the worry about what the future might bring. If there’s one thing she can count on, however, it’s the man standing at her side. With Mishca, she doesn’t have a worry in the world. No matter what fate wanted to throw at her ... Down the Line is a short story primarily featuring Mishca and Lauren with brief appearances from fan favorites! This is not intended to be read as a standalone.
