Chapter 102

The door flew open before they even knocked.

“Daddy, daddy!”

A little boy of about three years old flung himself at Jon.

‘Hey, sport! How ya doin? Missed me?”

Dot stood at the door, smiling at them.

“He heard the car and went crazy. Hi Cheyenne. Come on in.”

“Hello Dorothea.” Cheyenne walked in and followed Dorothea to the sitting room.

“Just excuse me, just have to tell the rest of the kids Jon is here. Rob is in the kitchen making dinner. Bless his soul.” Dot winked at her and walked out the room.

Jon walked in with the toddler in his arms. The next moment the whole room filled up with people.

A middle aged man walked towards Cheyenne a wide smile on his handsome face.

“Hi, I’m Rob. Nice to finally meet you! I heard you were quite a beauty. Shit Jon you sure as hell snagged a knock out!”

‘Hi. Rob. Nice to meet you too. Who told you all the stories about me?” She smiled at him.

He turned towards Jon and shook his hand. He gave Jon a playful slap on the shoulder.

“Well after Dot met you , she told me about your beauty. But she sure as hell didn’t do that justice..” He threw his head back and laughed. Dot came closer and wrinkled her nose at him.

“Watch your mouth, mr! You can always stay alone this weekend.” Love shone in her eyes.

Cheyenne stood in the middle of the room. The children’s eyes were on her and the nervous fluttering in her stomach started up again.

Jon put Romeo down and walked over to the kids.

“Well this is my daughter. Stephane Rose..”

“Daaaad, I’m Stephanie. Lose the Rose part, k? Hello, Cheyenne. You are really beautiful!” Jon’s piercing blue eyes stared at her from the girl’s face. She looked like her mother but she had Jon’s gorgeous blue eyes. She looked at Cheyenne shyly.

‘Hello, Stephanie nice to meet you! Just as beautiful as your mother and all grown up.” She smiled at Cheyenne.

“This is the man in the house, Jesse. Jesse …Cheyenne.”

He had a slight blush on his face, and Cheyenne could see that he was going to be a hunk just like his father.

“Hello, Cheyenne. Nice to meet you.” He had his mother’s brown eyes.

“The pleasure is all mine honey!”

A little boy came rushing in…

“Whoa, buddy! This is Jacob. The wild one of the family. Sport, say hi to Cheyenne”

“Hi” he rushed out again a dog at his heels.

Everyone laughed. “He’s a busy little boy. Always outside with his dog. Those two are inseparable.

“Well, I guess he and Shelby will like each other then. She has a jitter in her body as well.”

“Shelby?” Dot asked

Jon answered, a foolish grin on his face as he looked at Cheyenne. ‘Shelby is a pedigreed, Labrador. Never, ever call her a mutt. I made the mistake once…and let me tell ya…”

‘Oh, Jon don’t over react!” Cheyenne slapped him and he hugged her to his side.

“Cheyenne has a dog…wooohooooo!” Jacob was smiling from ear to ear.

“Shelby is going to just love you. You’ll see!”

The boy was beaming at her. Jon looked at them both a loving look in his eyes.

Romeo tucked at Cheyenne’s jeans and she bend down.

“Hello, big boy. My name is Cheyenne. What is your name?”

“Romeo. You have a pretty name.”

“Thank you honey! You have a lovely name yourself! What do you have in your hands?”

“Oh…watch out…too late..!!” Dot rolled her eyes.
