Doing it Alone: Sequeal to Giving Her Away

Doing it Alone: Chapter 11

Jennifer

My three days with Harry ended quickly. I had the most heartbreaking goodbye. Harry must have held nat and I till very last call to board before he eventually let us go. I could see his tearful face in the windwos, Louis trying to console him, but it was no use. As our plane pulled away He broke down to his knees. Natalie didn’t want to say goodbye.. she cried for abotu 20 minutes before she fell asleep the entire flight home. Me.. I jsut cried.. i couldn’t take the pain in my heart...... I just wanted to get home and breathe... and lay in bed for two more days...... The flight was very long, but at least in first class the food was good..... Nat and I slept most of the flight only waking to eat and me to feed her. Neither one of us was in a good mood this time around.

By the time that we landed in the Baton Rouge airport we both looked like a little bit of a mess, and Nattie was sobbing when we stepped off the plane. I didn't know why but if I had to guess it was because she missed her daddy, she wouldn't let me strap her in the stroller, she fought me kicking. So in the end I was holding her and trying to wheel the stroller at the same time, babybag and purse and all. It was when I stepped off the plane that I saw Devon standing there.

“Jen,” he said hurrying forwards as he offered to take Nattie from me.

She went to Devon and I sighed,” Devon,” I said surprised.

“I thought you could use some help,” he said softly.

“Thank you,” I said. Together we walked to baggage claim so that I could get our checked luggage, I had the baggage claim tags in my hand. Nattie had put her head on Devon's shoulder and fallen back asleep, and he was carrying her as he walked with me.

“You’re welcome....” he said, softly, cradling Nat like it was his own child... He cared for my Nattie so much... it just touched my heart.....

“I need sleep.. she cried most of the flight....” I said, softly.

“Is that a hint hint?!” he asked. I giggled.

“Maybe a little.....” I laughed.

“When we get home.. you go take a nice hot bath.. then get some sleep...” he insisted.

“And you’ll watch Nattie for me?” I asked.

“Absolutely...” he said, as we got my things loaded into his car. When we got hom ehe did just that he took care of our bags and I let myself soak in a hot tub and get a nap....

　

Devon

Nattie eventually fell asleep herself so I got her down for a nap.

“So.. still being ridiculous?” Shane asked coming out.

“No.. I got Nat down for a nap, Jen had a hot bath and now she’s lying down.. I am trying to help....” I grumbled, annoyed.

“Oh... well damn dude.... I’m sorry.. glad you’re helping out......” he said, before him and Minnie exited the house with teh kids in their wagon.. Must be park time... or something.... It was almost 3 before Jen got up that afternoon. Nattie was awake and playing in her playpen, the other two were upstairs playing, and Shane and Minnie were being sickengly adorable making dinner in the kitchen. Jen came down tiredly and plopped on the couch to watch some TV show, I can’t remember which, and tossing her feet in my lap as she laid down. I automatically, by instinct I swear, began rubbing her feet. She sighed and a smile formed on her lips.

“Mmmm, that feels good,” she whispered. Oh god.... seriously.. kill me now that was so sexy....

I loved that she loved this, so I continued to rub her feet, as my hands moved up her leg massaging them alternating between the rubbing and the massaging.

“Oh god,” she whimpered.”Yes.” Oh fuck! Yes...this definitely got me thinking about things that I shouldn't be especially when she started talking again.

“Lower to the right.”

“Here?” I asked as I found the spot on her foot she was talking about , paying it special attention.

“Yes. That spot...ooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.” Yup...all definitely got to me...the only thing missing was her screaming my name.

　

　

Minnie

In the kitchen Shane and I were cooking together, we had the radio turned down low to our favorite country music station.

“Ain't in no hurry. I'd Be a fool now to worry.About all those things I can't change

And the time that I borrow Can wait till tomorrow

Cause I ain't in no hurry today,” Shane sang. His voice was always this husky raspy combination, it gave an edge to the country song that I liked.

I tossed some items into the pot cooking and turned to Shane,” You better not be on borrowed time mister. I plan on keeping you,” I whispered.

He slipped his arms around me,” Oh I definitely plan on sticking around,” he breathed as he lowered his head kissing me. We shared a kiss for about fourty minutes before we had to pull apart to do some cooking.

“Try this,” I said taking the wooden spoon and putting some on it for him. He blew on it cool it down and then I held the spoon up for him to take a taste.

“Mmm, that taste really good....” he said, softly. I smiled and gently kissed his lips.

“Ohhhhhh, Mmmmmmmmm,” I heard from teh other room. Shane raised a brow and peeked his head out to teh living room only to shake his head and sigh.

“What is it baby?!” I asked.

“Devon... giving Jen a foot massage....” he said.

“He’s gonna get himself into trouble,” I said.

“I know... I wish he’s stop...” I said.

　

Devon

“God Devon, that feels so good....” Jen said softly.

“You have to be exhausted from traveling and traveling with Nattie she's still so young. You deserve to be spoiled for the next...” Millennium. “ Week or so,” I said.

She sighed,” Ha. IS there a Spoil Fairy running around granting lots of spoils? I'd love that.”

I had to chuckle,” Mmm no no there isn't but there is me.”

She giggled,” Yes you are my spoil fairy. Fairy Devvy bring me an iced tea, with crushed ice not cubed, and a long straw. But the bendy kind.”

I smirked,” Do you really want the tea? I don't mind getting it for you.”

She looked at me,” actually that sounds like heaven.”

“Well then coming right up,” I said gently moving her feet and propping them up on sofa and then headed for the kitchen. As soon as I walked in Minnie and Shane stopped talking immediately and were cooking, Shane chopping and helping keep things stirred.

“Guys you know people always shut up when someone walks into a room because they were talking about them,” I said as I grabbed a tall glass from the cabinet and and filled it with crushed ice, grabbed the tea jug poured some tea in it and had to search for the bendy straws. “ Uh Bendy straws?”

“Middle drawer on the left there,” Shane replied,” We weren't talking about you. We were cooking.”

“Mhmm,” I said as I finally found the straws and stuck one in Jen's drink. Then I put the jug back in the fridge. I headed out of the kitchen and back into the living room handing Jen the class. When I sat back down I pulled her feet back into my lap.

“ Where were we?” I asked with a smile.

“Heaven,” Jennifer replied with a grin.

I chuckled as I went back to work spoiling her.
