Chapter 234

The next few weeks were a living nightmare. The atmosphere was so thick Cheyenne felt she could choke to death.

Tico and Dave arrived and Jon almost killed them as he drove them daily. He threw himself into his work, writing songs, trying out the demos. Flying out occasionally to go to meetings and live performances.

Jon treated her coldly. She could feel his eyes following her sometimes and when she turned to look at him he would turn away. Every time she reached out to him he turned stony, his eyes warning her not to touch him.

Richie and the guys hated Jon for making Cheyenne suffer like that. He refused to hear them out even treated them like shit at times.

Jon knew he treated Cheyenne badly and he saw it only drove her towards Richie even more. He dreamed of her at night, holding her, kissing her soft lips, but then he woke up with a start as reality hit him over and over again.

Cheyenne’s pregnancy symptoms got hold of her and she felt nauseous and very emotional. Her breasts were tender and the pain on her left side drove her insane sometimes.

Cheyenne was standing in the studio’s kitchen one morning when Richie came in. She just came from the bathroom for the second time and she felt shaky.

‘Honey are you ok? You don’t look so well?”

“Morning sickness is kicking in, but I’ll be ok. I guess it might be a bit worse because its twins.”

“Chey we need to tell Jon about he babies. If we tell him we could explain every fucking picture he has.”

“I’m not going to be at Jon’s mercy. You and me know whose babies it is. I just need some time Richie. I’m going to the gynea again and he should confirm the heartbeats.”

”Well seen as you wont tell Jon I’ll just have to go with you.”

She wanted to argue but Tico and David strolled in.

Tico looked at Cheyenne and David lifted her chin.

“Darling I never say this to a woman. But you look like shit!”

Cheyenne smiled at David. “Gee thanx!”

“I think you need to see a doctor. I’ve noticed that you’ve been running to and from the bathroom regularly.”

“I’m fine really.”

“Tell then Cheyenne or I will.”

“No Rich.I don’t want Jon to find out and I’m not going to involve the guys in my problems again.”

“Fuck Jon. Whats wrong?” Tico was now standing very close to her, a cigar hanging from his mouth.

Richie stepped forward, placed a hand on Cheyenne’s flat tummy.

“Cheyenne is pregnant.”

Tico grabbed his cigar from his mouth, killed it and threw it away.

“My God honey! Congratulations! Sorry about the smoke it wont happen again.” Tico hugged her.

David gaped at her and she laughed as she closed his jaw with her fingers.

‘Holy hell! Now that is good news!” He hugged her as well, feeling her tummy.

“Still flat so I guess its still early?”

“Yep, quite early I’m going to confirm it tomorrow. But I think I’m about 8 weeks now.”

Richie’s eyes sparkled as he smiled at Cheyenne.

“Let me? Please I need to see their shit faced expressions when it comes out of my mouth.”

She nodded at him and the guys turned towards Richie.

‘Spit it out asshole..NOW!”

“Its twins…”

The kitchen went dead quiet.

‘NOOOO! Are you serious? Oh fuck! Jon is having his 5th and 6th child….” David was flabbergasted.

Richie started laughing so hard he doubled over.

Tico turned to Dave.

‘Now that you’ve mentioned it…Good God. This man is building his own nation!”

It made Richie laugh even more. Cheyenne started to giggle , Tico and Dave joining in.

“Can we get to work please?” the irritated look on Jon’s face ,stop their laughter in it tracks.
