Chapter 13

Jordan

"No I am telling you my wife is having a baby. I cannot travel at this time. Yes I am saying the tours end for now. The fans will understand. My wife and child come first. I don't want to argue. I have to go. Happy Thanksgiving" I grumble before I hang up on my boss.

"Jordan? Something wrong?" wonders Jules as she comes over to me. She wraps her arms around me. She presses her face into the back of my shirt.

"No nothing I cannot handle" I promise her.

"You sounded upset on the phone" she worries.

"I was just telling my boss to cancel all the tours for now. That I am going to stay here with you" I explain.

"Jordan, you don't have to do that because of me" worries Jules. I turn her around to face me.

"Jules, I do. You are my wife. I love you. I want to be here for the rest of the pregnancy. I plan on it. I missed so much with Evelyn. I always felt so badly about that" I sigh.

"Jordan! Your fans will be heartbroken" she worries.

"No my true fans will understand" I tell her. My hand caresses her cheek. She smiles.

"You are really going to stay here? It is boring" she warns me.

"I want to be where ever you are" I vow. I lean in and kiss her.

"I want that to" she says.

"You cannot travel right now. So here I stay. With you" I tell her.

"Oh Jordan" she gushes as she hugs me close suddenly. A warmth rushes to my heart as she holds me close to her. I smile as I hold onto her.

"Perfect moment" someone says. I look up to see her mother taking photos with her camera. Jules laughs as she keeps holding me close to her. Her mother moves on in the room snapping photos.

"Alyssa should have never showed her how to use that thing" laughs Jules.

"I want a copy of that" I joke as I hold her.

"Me to" she says.
"Jules you promised to help with the salad. Come in the kitchen" demands Alyssa.

"Aw come on" sighs Jules.

"I will be here. I am not going any place" I remind her. "I better go wish Jon and others happy thanksgiving" I remind her.

"Good idea" she agrees. She kisses me before she heads in the kitchen with her family. I grab my phone. I call Jon.

"Happy thanksgiving" I greet him when he answers.

"You to bro. Where are you at?" Jon wonders.

"I am in Kansas" I tell him.

"Why there?" he wonders.

"With my wife. Juliet. I have big news. You should hear it from me" I sigh.

"What is that?" he wants to know.

"We are having a baby" I tell him happily.

"Wow! That is wonderful! I am happy for you. So no divorce then? I know you did not want her to divorce you" he mentions.

"I won her over. Was there any doubt I would?" I joke. Jules looks over and smiles my way.

"Not really. Everyone misses you man" Jon tells me.

"I miss them to. Give mom all my love will you?" I ask.

"Sure man" he agrees.

"Talk to you soon" I tell him. We hang up. I spot something. Alyssa with Mark out on the deck. Kissing. Alyssa was going to get hurt by that man! I had to stop Mark. I head out to the deck to act like I was making a call. That would stop that moment.

"Oh sorry guys, I did not know anyone was out here. I was calling Jon" I lie as I come out. They move away from each other like teens who had gotten caught making out.

Mark looked guilty.

"I better go help in the kitchen" Alyssa remarks as she gets up. She heads inside.

"Mark? Care to explain?" I demand once we were alone.

"What Alyssa and I do is not your business" he says to me as he looks over at the barn.

"I think it is. She is my sister in law. I don't want to see you hurt her. She is a good girl" I mention.

"Who says I will hurt Alyssa?" he snaps.

"Mark given your history..."

"So what?" he snaps getting defensive.

"Hey dude. Cool off before going back in there" I demand as I stop him from going back inside.

"Look I know you mean well. But BUTT out" he demands to me.

"One moment you were all into Jules. Saying you were going to steal her from me. Now you are after her sister. What gives? Tell me? Alyssa will get hurt. Think that over. For her at least before you go after her" I demand to Mark. He glares at me angrily before heading inside. Alyssa did not have a clue about Mark's history like I had. Not that I was perfect myself. Mark had changed. But his track record with women had not changed at all.

I was worried about Alyssa. I head back inside with the others. The parade was on tv. Dinner was smelling so good. I see Jules face light up when she saw me come in. I walk over to her. She kisses my cheek.

"Something wrong?" she asks me.

"I found Alyssa and Mark making out on the deck" I whisper to her. She nods.

"I know Mark likes her" she says.

"Isn't it odd he liked you then goes onto her? She will get hurt" I worry.

"Mark is not like that. I think he really has feelings for her" she says.

"I hope you are right" I sigh.

"No worries" she vows. She kisses me.

"Come and eat! The turkey is done everyone" her mother calls out. Everyone claps for her. The turkey looked great. Mark was glaring at me from across the room. I felt bad. Mark hand changed. I should not have ragged on him as I had. But I was just looking out for Alyssa.

"Come on everyone" calls her mother again. We all head into the dining room to enjoy Thanksgiving together. I hoped Jules was right. That Mark had good intentions with her sister.
