Chapter 312

Cheyenne was sitting comfortably in the plane. She was getting a bit irritated with everyone jumping up if she just made a sound, but she knew they all meant well.

Richie and Stacey stayed behind and it was only Jon and the doctor with her.

The babies were just perfect. And the doctor was relieved to see everything was going well, despite the horrible pains.

Jon seemed relaxed but she could feel his eyes on her. She hasn’t spoken to him since the night before and it was driving him to the brink of insanity.

She longed to feel his arms around her but she knew that if she gave in she would probably end up with the bleeding heart. She still didn’t trust his motives, although she had to admit that he was really attentive to her needs. He hadn’t tried to touch or kiss her again, giving her the space she needed.

She didn’t remember much of the flight, she slept, her body rejoicing at been pain free for twelve hours. The meds the doctor had prescribed was stronger than the previous ones and it lasted longer, so she could give her womb the rest it needed.

“Baby, wake up. We are here.”

She moaned at the voice disturbing her peaceful sleep.

“Hmmmm..ok.”

“Baby, the plane is landing in a few minutes…”

She opened her eyes.

“That quick?”

“No, not that quick, you slept like a corpse.” His gently face was so close, she could almost feel his lips on her…

The doctor was happy with Cheyenne’s reaction to the tablets he gave her. He warned her again to look after herself and to stay calm, she had to lay down as much as possible otherwise he would have to force complete bed rest if things don’t get better soon. Jon promised him personally that he would watch her closely.

He insisted that he wanted to see her weekly and that she should keep to the appointments.

The drive to the mansion was silent. Cheyenne didn’t feel like talking to him and he didn’t know what to say without her getting her panties in a bunch.

She excepted his hand as he got out of the car. Violet was waiting for them and rushed forward when Cheyenne got out.

“Oh heavens! Thank you for bringing her back, Jon!”

The old woman hugged Jon tightly to her.

Violet turned towards Cheyenne.

“You are huge sweetheart but you look gorgeous! Are you and the babies doing ok?”

‘We are just fine, thank you Violet”

The old woman kissed her, the urge to hug her was great but she didn’t know how to. Cheyenne laughed at her and hugged her as far as her bump would allow.

“Everyone miss you baby.” The look in his eyes gave her goose bumps, it was a mixture of longing and sadness.

She met his gaze her voice just above a whisper.

“I missed everyone too.”

Hope flared into is eyes. Did she meant him as well? Lord, look at those eyes…he was captivated by her, trying to read the answer to his question. She turned away and the moment was gone. The servants were all smiling and greeting Cheyenne, staring at her huge bump. She was the main attraction at the moment and for Cheyenne it felt like she was home again. Home….where she wanted to be.
