Yours, Now and Forever Book #2(A Jordan Knight Fanfiction)

27

The next morning, Jordan wakes up to find himself alone in their bed. He knows Vivian was here when he fell asleep, because he had watched her sleep for about an hour before drifting off himself.

Jordan stretches and gets out of bed. He goes into the master bath and washes his face and brushes his teeth. He uses the bathroom and gets dressed before heading into the kids rooms to see if they are up yet.

The scent of bacon and coffee wafts from the kitchen as Jordan walks down the hall. The kids rooms are empty so Jordan heads to the kitchen. He stops in the doorway of the kitchen when he sees his wife and kids talking and laughing. It's a beautiful site to see.

Then Jordan hears another voice, a male voice. A male British voice. Jordan knows immediately who the voice belongs to. That fucking British prick. 

"Good morning family." Jordan says as he walks into the kitchen. "And Orlando." Jordan walks over to Vivian and kisses her lips. He then moves around to the kids. "Hey kiddos, how's the bacon?" Layla holds a piece of bacon up to his mouth. He takes a bite, "Thank you baby girl. Do you have any idea how much daddy loves you and your brother?" Jordan puts an arm around each one of them. "How much daddy?"

"Oh baby girl, daddy loves you and your brother more than life itself. You are your daddy's whole world." Jordan kisses both kids on the tops of their heads.

"Daddy how much do you love Mommy? Do you love her more than life?"

Jordan looks over at Vivian, she's watching their interaction closely. "Sweetie, your Mommy is my life. She has my heart. She's had my heart for a very long time." He smiles at Vivian. She gives him a shy smile before she glances down at the floor.

Vivian feels a little embarrassed by Jordan's declaration of love for her, because Orlando is standing right behind her. Vivian turned to look at Orlando, she gave him a little smile and he smiled back at her before he started cleaning up the cooking mess.

"No, Orlando you cooked, I'll clean up. You sit down and have some coffee. Fill me in on what's going on with filming."
Vivian moved around the island and started taking dishes away from him with her good hand. Then she laughed, "Jordan, babe will you help me out? I don't know why I thought I could do this with one hand."

"Viv, you go sit down, I'll get the dishes. Orlando thank you so much for breakfast. I really appreciate it." Jordan moves past Vivian, he kisses her on the cheek, and starts cleaning up. He does appreciate Orlando's thoughtfulness, but can't help but feel like an outsider whenever Vivian and Orlando start talking about work. But he knows she just wants to keep her mind busy and not think about what happened.

Orlando asked, "So when do you all fly back to Boston?"

Jordan answered, "Our flight is tomorrow morning. The kids need to get back to school and Vic has work. So we've got to get back."

Vivian stares at Jordan, "And you have to get back on tour, right?"

All eyes are on Jordan now. Layla jumps up and runs to Jordan, "No daddy you can't go away again. Please don't leave us again." She screams and cries as she holds onto Jordan. Lexington comes over to comfort his twin, "LaLa don't cry sis. It'll be okay. Daddy has to work. We'll be okay. Don't cry." Poor kid, he tried so hard to be strong, but in the end he cries too. Jordan hugs them both close to his chest. Tears roll down his cheeks. "Hey guys, what happened to my strong, brave babies? Huh? Stop crying, I'm not going anywhere. We're just going home, there's no more touring. I'm not leaving you again."

"Jordan! Don't do this. You made a commitment, you need to see it through. The kids will be fine without you for a little while. Layla, Lexington stop crying. Stop trying to make your dad feel bad for working. You are fine, you have no reason to be crying." Jordan is surprised by the tone of Vivian's voice. She's being a little harsh. He's never heard her talk to the kids like this. Both the kids cling tighter to Jordan. He whispers "I love you" in both their ears and kisses their foreheads before sending them to find grandpa.

"Hey Orlando, as much as I'm grateful for breakfast and coffee this morning i need to speak to my wife."

"Jordan we can talk later, we have all the time in the world to talk, since you're quitting your tour. I need to talk to Orlando about work. I'll talk to you when we're done."

Jordan is livid. He can't believe she just did that. First she got onto the kids for saying how they feel. Then she disregarded his need to speak with her. He knows she's been through hell, but this is a complete personality change. But yet when she's talking to Orlando she's all smiles and laughter.

Jordan heads into Vic's room to check on the kids. They are both there with Vic and Donnie. Both are curious about what or who made the kids cry. "Jordan, what's going on? Why are they so upset?" Jordan knelt down in front of the kids and they went to him. He wrapped his arms around them.

"Vivian was upset with me for canceling my tour, and when they said they were glad I wasn't going away again she got mad. She doesn't like that I canceled, she thinks it's irresponsible. I'm thinking about calling my manager and seeing about going ahead with the tour. I don't want it to cause problems."

"No Daddy, don't leave us again."

"Lex, it'll all be okay. We'll figure it out. But I might have to go. I can't stop working."

Just then Vivian came into the room, she went over to where Jordan was and knelt down. "Lex, LaLa, mommy is so sorry for getting upset. Please forgive me. I love you both so very much. I was just upset and disappointed with your dad's decision. But I shouldn't have taken it out on you. Can you forgive me? I never want you to be mad at me."

Both kids hug her and say its okay. "Jordan I'm going to the studio to talk to Tim. I'll be back in an hour or so."

"Can you talk to him on the phone about it?"

"No, I need to go see him and the other producers. We need to get a filming schedule set up before I have to go back to Boston. It has to be face to face."

"Okay let me get dressed and I'll drive you over. You can't drive on your pain meds."

"I have a ride. Orlando's going to take me. He has to go in too. So it'll just be easier for me to go with him. Then you can be here with the kids getting ready to go back to Boston." She kisses Jordan on the cheek, "I'll be back shortly. I love you."
