The Music Time Machine -- Jon Bon Jovi Fan Fic

Crossroads

February 1994

Rosie's POV

"Boss... uhm... we have a problem" Jon  cranes his neck to look at his road manager with a sceptical expression "What is it?". "We can't find Dave... he hasn't turned up" He jumps out of his seat and walks over to him, he already looks stressed out "No, he should be here, are you sure you've checked everywhere?". "Yeah, we've checked everywhere twice" He grumbles and yanks at his golden hair "I'll try calling him". He picks up the phone and dials Dave's hotel room number, listening to the tone in the background. "DAMMIT! WHERE IS HE?!" He slams the phone down and begins to pace back and forth "Hey... just breath... I'm sure he'll be here soon... he might just be on his way". "HE SHOULD ALREADY BE HERE!" He glares at me as if I'm the cause of all of this "Don't you dare shout at me Jon". "I need to go...." He spins round and storms out the room, leaving a trail of anger behind. He's not usually like this but he's been so stressed out lately. I'm trying not to get angry but I can't help it, there was no need for him to shout at me like that. 

"MAMA! look a this.... drawing... I did of you and daddy" She hands me the A4 piece of paper with the stickmen drawn on it. I can't help but giggle a little seeing as she's drawn both of us with long blonde hair "It's beautiful baby... we'll show it to daddy when he's finished". Something about the drawing pulls me in, she's given me a really big stomach "Baby, why does mommy have a big stomach?". "That's the baby in your belly mommy" I'm lost for words, why does she think I'm pregnant again? "No, Charlie there isn't a baby in my belly okay? you haven't been telling people we're having another baby have you?". "But there is a baby in your belly mommy" She's definitely not letting this go, she must have a reason "Why do you think we're having a baby?". She stretches her small hand out and touches my stomach "Because.... I can hear his heartbeat". 

Before I have time to question her more, the door swings open and Jon storms back in "DADDY!!!". She skips over to him and leaps into his arms with the drawing "Daddy, this is a drawing I did of you and mommy". He scans the drawing for a long time and kisses her cheek "Absolutely beautiful.... you even got my hair right". He slides her slowly down to the floor, turning his attention to me "Baby... why don't you go play?". 

As soon as the doors closed, the atmosphere changes completely "You did this didn't you?". "I... don't know what you mean?" He paces back and forth again, sighing and huffing through his anger "Everything went wrong in sound check.... Dave still hasn't shown up....". "What has this got to do with me?" He stops pacing and turns to face me, his face as hard as stone "You are the only person I know who can mess with stuff... you are an angel after all... and you weren't happy about dragging he kids around... you did all of this didn't you?". "Woah! hold on one second... I have always been supportive of what you do... don't you dare try to turn your problems into mine" I jump up from the sofa and walk over to him, feeling my anger take control "Supportive? what have you done to support me?". "I CAME ACROSS TIME FOR YOU!!! I BECAME MORTAL FOR YOU!!! .... we have two beautiful daughters.... I'm the mother of your children.... I'm your wife Jon and... you.... don't even see all the things I've done for you..... you.... don't even trust me" He watches wide eyed as I slither past him and head to the door "Are you still coming to watch the show?". How could I go and watch after learning when shit hits the fan, he always blames it on me?. Without uttering a word, I open the door and walk out, torturing him with silence...

"Charlie... mommy's going back home for a little while... I just have some things to sort out back home.... Would you like to come with me? or stay with daddy?" She thinks long and hard about it as if it's life and death "Well... will you be coming back?". "Of course baby... I won't be gone long" She bites her lip and twirls her hair around her finger "I wanna stay with daddy". "Okay... I want you to look after your sister until I'm back... I won't be long... be good... I love you" That is the last thing I said to her before heading back to the hotel to collect my bags. I wasn't lying when I said I'd be back but right now I just can't be here when he's blaming me for his problems. I'm sure he thinks I control everything and everyone when In truth I'm just as blind sighted about my powers as he is.
