Chapter 153

The test fell from his lifeless fingers.

A maelstrom of thoughts rushed through his shocked mind.  Was this why she was so reluctant to make love to him? Is this what she was trying to tell him and he kept on silencing her? DAMMIT!

The most important thought of all clawed at his gut.

Was the baby his or Jason’s?

Oh Lord in heaven. His knees buckled for a moment and he sat down onto the toilet, resting his head against the cold tiles.

He felt feverish and his body quivered.

Please God let this baby be mine. I know I don’t pray often  and maybe I don’t deserve for You to answer my prayers but I need this baby to be mine so badly!

Calmness settled over him and he stood up, crossing the room towards her sleeping form.

His teethmarks patterned neatly on her shoulderblade, the redness of the night before replaced with a purplish red hue.

Not ready to face the truth he turned and walked out.

Jon didn’t know how he managed to get dressed and actually looked like he planned his outfit when he realized he was staring at his dressed self in the mirror.

Grabbing his phone and his wallet he made for the door.

Passing her door he stopped.

“Damn this all to hell! I need to know and I need to know now!”

His hand just turned the knob when his phone buzzed in his pocket.

“Arrghh..shit!”

“Jon, we need to go if you want to catch your plane on time. “

“Yeah, I’m coming.”

His curt answer had Joe frowning. It wasn’t Jon to be late and in a foul mood. He brushed it off. Another shitty day in celebrity world I guess.

Jon stood frozen in time, his hand ready to jerk the door open and demand an answer, his mind telling him to think this through and then confront her when he had calmed down. He chose the latter and retracted his hand.

“Bye baby.” He whispered at the closed door.

Megan woke a few hours later, languorously stretching out she sat up quickly as she remembered the night before and the bliss she shared with Jon.

The room was empty and his place next to her cold.

“Oh no! He’s gone!”

Disappointment brought tears to her eyes and she swallowed hard. Looking down at the gently swell she mumbled.

“He didn’t even say goodbye. I wanted to tell him about you. Now he’s gone.”

Pulling her legs up, she cried her heart out.  Letting all the stress, pain and shock wash from her overflowing heart.

As Richie passed her door he heard her heartbroken sobs through the door.

Rapping his knuckles over the door, he walked in, finding her wound up in a tight ball.

“Hey now little darlin’. Why all these tears?”

“He….*hiccup*..he didn’t…*hiccup* say goodbye.”

Looking at her trembling body, he realized she was buck naked under the sheets. Hoping to protect her modesty he reached for her robe. One knee pushed into the mattress, his arms reaching around her to cover the slim shoulders, he didn’t miss the teethmarks .

So Jonny boy is a biter? He smirked to himself.

Megan felt the whisper of satin on her skin. She was naked and she didn’t care. Wrapping his arms around her she leaned into him, burying her face in his chest. Such a welcoming chest it was, always there to catch her tears. As if drowning she took hold of his shirt, holding on tight.

“He’s not leaving for ever you know.” He offered.

The pregnancy hormones were kicking in real good! He fought against chuckling.

“Its not that.” Her voice was muffled.

“Hormones then?”

“Nooo!” she pushed from him just enough to give him a shaky, teary smile.

“Ok, maybe a little bit but I wanted to tell him last night but…” she blushed

Little devils danced in his dark eyes.

“Yeah and things got a bit hot and out of control…I saw the teethmarks. He was quite the stud huh?”

He laughed and pushed her face into his chest again. She was such a sweet thing!

“I hoped that he would wake me up to say goodbye and then I could tell him. He didn’t wake me up!”

“I think he meant well, Sweetheart. You can always tell him on the phone.”

“On the phone! Are you crazy! You cant tell a man he’s going to be a father on a phone! I’ll have to wait three weeks before I can tell him!” Despair surfaced in her eyes.

“Ok my bad. Sorry wasn’t thinking there…well then you’ll wait till he comes back.”

“Guess so.”

Standing up from the bed he walked towards the bathroom.

“Let get that pretty face of yours cleaned up and then we’ll grab some breakfast. We have a busy day ahead of us. “

“We?”

He nodded, smiling.

“Uhuh, you , me and Jaden. …lets not forget little speckle there.” Patting his tummy, she giggled.

“Do you really think I’m going to let you sulk until Jon comes back?”

He disappeared for a moment. Megan heard the tap opening up.

Richie’s eye caught the pregnancy test lying on the floor. Frowning he picked it up, throwing it back into the basket.
