Through it All

Chapter 89

BG and Cheyenne were just hanging out in their suite enjoying being together. He was working on writing a song and she had been reading but in all honesty she was watching and listening to him. She had been receiving feedback on B's post last night all day some good some not so good. She knows he's been in meetings and working today so she hasn't said anything to him about it. She wants him in a good mood tonight as the kids are due any minute.  Not sure who's in town now or if they want to do something tonight . It would suit her just to stay in again tonight. Tomorrow will be busy or at least the afternoon and night will be. Chaos is about to reign down on the with her family's wedding activities this weekend and then back to Georgia for the cook out and video shoot on Monday. Then off to New York for some family time and that blasted TV interview and then back to performing.  So they are definitely enjoying the down time or Cheyenne is B doesn't do down time well and that's okay. 

Cheyenne's phone rings and she answers it without looking and she kicks herself now. It was Robert's mom Leigh.
L- Cheyenne I'm really hurt in that you got married without telling us after all we have done for y'all over the years. Robert is turning over in his grave knowing he ain't even cold yet and you were living with a man you weren't married to. What kind of example are you setting for your children ? They are just heartbroken and can't believe that you have done this. Ace doesn't even want to live with you anymore so we are going to file for custody of him next week. I just thought I would be better than you and give you a heads up.

(There is a knock on the door B goes to open it and it's the kids)

C- Well Leigh other than my kids we don't have anything tying us together anymore. Robert is gone and I hate it and I miss him every day but here's a newsflash for you  I didn't die that day. I have to continue to live for him and for myself and my kids. As for getting married without telling you we only told immediate family and just a few friends that are family to us. And no I did not live with B before we got married. I haven't moved I still have my home. Yes we had to start touring and we share a bus, that's just how it is on the road.  And as far as my kids go they all gave B their blessing before he asked me. They are the ones who picked the date for the wedding . I'm sorry that it hurt your feelings but I have to do what is best for me and my kids. Robert is gone he's not coming back and sitting down and giving up is the exact opposite of what he wanted for his family. Now for what you really called about, go ahead and file custody papers for Ace I am pretty sure you won't like what you find out from all my children not just him. But let me tell you , you better be prepared to lose all of them.  My question is when did you talk to Ace about this?

Leigh - I talked to him about an hour ago when he came over so upset about you leaving him at home alone to traipse the country with that awful man.
Cheyenne - You better watch your mouth Leigh that man is my husband and the kids stepfather and if you want to know the truth he was closer to your son than you were. Just because you lost your son does not mean you can take mine. Now I know you haven't talked to Ace in person today because he is with me, so you might want to know what's going on before you open your mouth and the other thing is he isn't left at home alone. He hasn't spent one night in that house without an adult. And this is the exact reason Robert made me promise to move just as soon as I could because he knew that you would try to put me through hell. I have kept my mouth shut in honor to Robert but not any more. It's up to me to take care of my kids. And you can take this to the bank, you pursue a custody suit and you won't like the outcome. Have a good day.

She hung up and went to the bathroom in the bedroom ignoring the rest of the people in the suite. She closed the door and fell to the floor crying. She heard the door open but she couldn't look as sobs wracked her body . She felt  arms wrap around her but it wasn't B it was Ace. Momma I promise I haven't talked to Mamaw  and I sure haven't told her that I want to live with her that would be awful. I love you momma and I'm happy you married BG we all are happy momma. Yeah things are different but that's not bad. We have each other and we are gonna be alright. We have BG and he loves us and takes care of us. I made him wait so I could come tell you I didn't do that. Cheyenne sits up and says Baby I know you didn't say that I'm just upset that I answered the phone and I'm so mad to want to break something. But I promise you this she is not taking you from me. I will come home first and do the tour when we have vacations from school and you can come with me. Like you are going to be these next few weeks. I love you son and I will fight to my death to keep you with me. Ace hugs her and says I know momma, that has always been there. I love you and I'm gonna go let BG come in and try to calm down my sisters.  Cheyenne lays back on the floor and the tears continue to fall, BG comes in and picks her up and sets her in his lap wrapping her up. He kisses the top of her head and rubs her back.Cheyenne holds on to him and knows that everything is going to be alright. BG says Darlin' we ain't losing our boy, I won't let it happen. I've contacted our lawyer and he is going to check into it and file an emergency petition tomorrow. Come on baby ya got to talk to me please don't shut me out. Chey don't shut down please baby I'm begging you to talk to me. Cheyenne looked at B and says I love you! I know we aren't going to lose our son cause I'm not gonna let that happen. I'm just so angry right now I wanted to break something that is why I left the living room. I can't believe she is really serious about this, if she goes through with this she will lose all 3 of them B. I know that isn't what Robert wanted for them, as frustrating as they are he loved them. Why B? Why does she want to do this? Why today ? I just want to enjoy my family and celebrate our marriage with them and all of our friends tomorrow. BG tells her I don't know why today baby but maybe she is trying to get you upset because she found out about the party and you didn't ask her to come. It doesn't matter baby cause we are keeping our son and we are having a hell of a good time with them tonight and tomorrow and every day after that we are given. I promise you that! Cheyenne tells him I love you baby and kisses him . I love you too baby, now let's go see what they want to do tonight.
