Rose▶▶▶

A smile stretched across my face as I hear my husband humming a sweet tune. He was terrible at it making me laugh quietly.

He comes up behind me while I cooked him breakfast as he picks me up spinning me around while nuzzling his face into my neck. He knew I found it very ticklish.

“James! Stop it!” I laughed as he spun me around.

Putting me back softly on the floor.

“My beautiful Bella” I blushed at his words.

“My handsome James” I replied back so cheesily as he laughed before pecking my lips.

“Come on. Let’s have breakfast” I said as he nods kissing my cheek before he took a seat.

I served our breakfast which was some meat from last night, milk from the dairy shop and a few eggs.

“I’m going to go hunting today my love” I looked up at him from my food.

“Be careful darling” I replied with my usual dimpled smile and soft tone.

“I will. Do you have any requests that I should bring for tonight?” He asks me as I think.

“I request that you be safe…” He nodded as he finished his food.

“I love you Bella” he says as he puts our empty plates on the kitchen sink that he built himself.

“Just leave the dishes James. You’re running late” he leaves the dishes like I requested as he comes to me,on his knees as he hugged my body to him.

“James,what’s wrong?” I asked as he looked up at me.

“Nothing. I feel like something might go wrong. Promise me,you’ll do whatever it takes to keep you safe” I frowned but nodded knowing full well that the love of my life would not be at peace if I didn’t promise.

“Alright. I promise” he nodded to himself and hugged me,his face in my neck as I ran my fingers through his blackish brown locks.

“I love you Bella” he mumbled in my neck.

“I love you too James” I said back at him as I massaged his head knowing he liked it.

I sat by my rocking chair he’d made me outside as he gets on his brown horse Dawsey and waved me goodbye.

I waved him back as I stood up getting ready to do chores and our usual laundry. Rubbing my hand through my small but noticeable bump,

“You wait for daddy little one. He won’t be long” I spoke to him/her. Whichever,I’ll love them.

Jaxon

Blackwood▶▶▶

I waved off the businessmen as I closed another deal with them. I was part of a small construction company that wanted builders to help them built their new bank in town. We’d never had a bank before in town so this was very much exciting for the towns people.

I lived off the far ends of the great woods. The Oakhills village was a small village who shared things and did right,following our mayors laws set upon us. We were very peaceful people and our village was known for its women’s beauty,especially Bella Rosé. She was the talk of the towns women’s latest gossip. All the women in town we’re jealous of her how she lured men’s eyes on her without even trying,including myself of course.

One of my childhood friends James was her husband- the lucky bastard and I was happy for them even though I used to have a huge crush on her back in school. I remember, I’d glance at her every time she was around but never did anything else other than glance.

As my horse trotted through the forest I picked up odd growling noises Fishing out my arrow as I gripped up my bow, I hear loud pounding of footsteps on the ground. A man’s scream sets off Francis my horse into a frightful run leading us right to the chaotic scene before me.

Two brown grizzly bears were tearing at the bloody man on the ground,his face entirely unrecognisable.

I aimed one of the bears right in the eyes as he growled in pain and collapsed backwards. I shot the other one but it had ran off.

I hurried off my horse as I went over to the unconscious man. Feeling his pulse,its not moving.

It was….James?!

I wrapped him up in the blanket I had bought for my daughter back home.

I got up on my horse,with him of course as I ran into the village in a rush. My friends looked curiously at the sheet covered man on my horse.

“I need to find James cottage!” I told my friend Phillip.

He quickly got on his horse.

“Come on!” He says as he rushed through the woods.

Once we got there,I noticed the beautiful woman knitting by the rocking chair.

Bella.

She holds up her corset dress as she rushed down the wooden steps of her small porch.

“Bella. I’m so sorry. I was in the woods when I saw him…” I saw as a tear slid down her cheek making my heart ache.

I didn’t like seeing her cry for some reason.

“W-what happened?” She asked as I helped her lower the body of her dead husband.

“He was attacked. By bears. I killed one of them but the other one ran away. I’m so sorry Bella” she sobbed silently as she laid James on her lap,the blood ruined her dress but I leave her to grief for her lost love.

That night,I asked my sister to watch Ellie for me as me and some of the men of our village went to Bella’s cottage.

She had been sobbing from the result of her swollen cheeks and the hiccups that escaped her lips.

We made a burial ground for James and the craftsmen of the village bought over the carved stone they’d been working on the whole afternoon. Bella cried the whole ceremony as the village priest lead the burial service for James.

I also noticed the beautiful dress she was wearing in that moment.

Her long curly brunette locks were in a nice style most probably made by her, herself.

We buried James body and soon everyone was going home after leaving some cooked food for Bella. One of Bella’s close friends Jessie who was my best friend-Phillips wife had stayed over for the night with Bella.

I walked up to her. “I’m really sorry for your loss Bella” she gives me a sad smile showing off her beautiful straight pearly whites.

“Thank you Jaxon. For bringing him here” I just nod and leave seeing them walk into Bella’s home.

I got on my horse and took off.

I’ll come back in the morning.

The next morning when I awoke,I stayed in bed for quite some time. I felt so….empty.

I laid in bed as my eyes ached and a few tears rolled down touching my ears as I looked up at the roof. Every thing reminded me so much of James.

I cried into my pillow all morning but quickly wiped away my tears and got outve bed upon hearing a knock to our- my bedroom door.

Jessie gives me a sad smile before she hugged me tightly. Jessie also happened to be James younger sister and my best friend so I should probably be considerate that I’m not the only one grieving.

I hugged her back. “Are you alright?” I asked as I pulled away.

“Darling, your husband has just past and you’re asking me if I’m alright?” She gives me that sad smile.

“I know but he’s also your brother, Jess” she just laughed sadly at me.

“Get dressed. Someone came to see you” I nodded as I take a shower,I brushed my curly hair back into a waterfall braid and clipped it with a wooden hair comb to hold my hair in place as my the rest of the curls fall back down my back.

I put on another corset dress that I made afew weeks ago. Walking out,I saw Jaxon sitting by one of the small couches and he stood up immediately upon seeing me.

“Hello Jaxon. What is it I can help you with?” I then noticed that Jessie and Philip were outside getting some stuff into the carriage carriage cartwheel.

“Bella,I’ve been meaning to talk to you about something” i nodded as I took a seat opposite from him.

“And that is?” I asked with a curious frown.

“Well,i was wondering if you’d like to come live with me and my daughter Ellie. It isn’t safe for a woman in your place to be living alone especially so far away from the village”

I thought about it really hard.

“I understand what you’re going through Bella,believe me. But the least you should be doing right now is living by yourself. It isn’t safe” i just nod.

Promise

me

you’ll

do

whatever

it

takes

to

keep

you

safe

.

I remembered James last few words.

For my safety.

I

promise

.

I remembered myself saying.

“Look,I’ll come back tomorrow if you need time to think about this alright?” I shook my head.

If I leave,it’ll be like keeping my passed love’s last wishes and I’ll do it. Besides,this place reminded me so much of James.

“Its alright. I’ve made up my mind. I’d like that very much if you’d let me”

“Of course. Do you have things you’d like to take with you?” He asked in a soft tone.

“Yes please. I have some books and paint along with my clothes and my shoes” he nods.

“I’ll carry them if they’re heavy. I don’t want you to risk the baby’s life by lifting those things” I looked at him surprised.

“Jessie told me about it. I won’t tell anyone if you’d like” I just nodded.

“Can we start with my books first?” He nodded.

“Of course”

Chapter Four

▶▶▶

Once everything was loaded into the wooden cartwheels, Jessie and Phil had gone back to their house in the village.

I looked at Jaxon before looking back at the horse. As in singular form.

“Its alright Bella. You can get the horse,I’ll walk” I frowned upon what he said.

“Are you sure?I don’t mind walking” he shook his head.

“I’ll be fine, thank you” he replied before I got on the horse.

“Are you comfortable?” I nodded.

“Alright then,let’s go” we started off our journey to his house.

∆•••∆•••∆•••∆•••∆•••∆•••∆•••∆•••∆

I looked around amazed at what I saw.

A farm?!

This will be very exciting. I saw afew cows,sheep’s,goats,afew horses in their ranches, eating straw.

The chicken pen were identical. Standing next to one another surrounded by fences that securely kept them in.

A small girl I assumed was Ellie ran up to us and I frowned. Was she a girl?or boy?

She certainly dressed like a boy making me smile. I’m going to make her dresses. And maybe help her with her hair.

She looked like Jaxon.

“Dad,whose she?” She asked with furrowed brows.

“Ellie,meet Bella. Aunt Jessie’s friend and Bella,this is my daughter Ellie” I got down with the help of Jaxon.

“Hello Ellie” I give out my hand to shake hers but she frowned and ignored it as she hugged her father.

I shrugged as Jaxon gives me an apologizing look.

“What is she doing here?” Ellie asked again.

“Ellie don’t be rude. Bella is going to stay with us” that seemed to shut her up as we started unloading the cartwheel.

I go to carry the box of books when Jaxon rushed out and took it from me. “How long have you been holding this?” He asked frantically.

“I just picked it up now…” I said with a frown.

“Why don’t you go inside and I’ll get these things to your room” I nodded as I entered their house. Which was a mess!!

I nearly tripped on Jaxon’s shoe as we walked into the neatly tidied up room.

I saw a small bookshelf and the queen sized bed. Aside from the nice room,there weren’t any paintings so I made a mental note to get some paintings. And some cleaning stuff too.

“Look Bella,I have to go into town for a bit. I’ll be back by the evening” I nodded as he left.

I walked outve the room and see Ellie glaring at me. “Are you alright Ellie?” She stood up and slammed the door shut.

Ok?

I looked around the house seeing some brooms and a mop. I see the dishes in the sink and took out half of the soap from the bathroom.

This will do.

I started cleaning up the clothes. I had made a woven basket from the palm tree outside and put all the dirty clothes inside it.

I’ll wash that later.

I cleaned out the dishes and put up the curtains. I actually removed them and got out some plain sheets to make new curtains later…right after I wiped them off.

I got to work, from the living room to the kitchen. They had a laundry room, luckily.

I put all the dirty clothes there. After rearranging the dishes in the cabinets,I wiped off the kitchen counter.

I looked into the small fridge seeing some meat and vegetables. I’ll make soup. The food was smelling pretty good as I put the vegetable peelings in a different bin after unloading a load of trash cans of rubbish out a long time ago.

The house looked a bit better now. I made mental note to make some knitted covers for the couch.

Ellie shuts the front door loudly making me jump slightly where I was wiping out the kitchen windows by the sink overlooking the back garden which hadn’t been kept well.

I’ll deal with that later….

“Hello Ellie,I made you dinner…” She glared at me before going to her room shutting the door in my face.

I hold my small bump with a smile. “We’ll be alright little one” I muttered as I finished with the last windows.

Jaxon walked in looking around then walked back out. He walked back in looking confused.

“I’m looking for my house” I laughed at him.

“Very funny Jaxon. Go shower while I heat up the food” he smiled while he nodded as he walked to his room shutting the door softly.

I reheated the dinner I’d made after I’d wiped out the kitchen counter one more time. He comes into the kitchen.

“Do you need my help?” I shook my head.

“Its alright. Just maybe set up the table for me please?”

“Sure” he gets plates out and gets sets the table.

“Was Ellie giving you trouble?” I smiled shaking my head.

“She was alright” he sighed in relief nodding.

Ellie walked out of her room all showered up and in pants and a shirt.

She took a seat and so do Jaxon and I take ours. We said grace before we started eating.

“Oh wow. Bella,this is good” I smiled.

“Thanks. I’ve been meaning to ask if I could put up some of my paintings around here?” Jaxon nodded while Ellie slammed her hand down on the wooden table startling me knocking over her empty bowl of soup.

“Just stop!you’re not my mother! And you never will be! So just go home Bella!” She yelled and I looked down at my lap. Tears glistened my eyes and I gulped.

She’s mean but that doesn’t mean I’m giving up.

“ELLIE!” Jaxon yelled and i stood up from my seat.

I went to my room and closed the door sobbing my head on the pillow.

She’s right. I should just go home.

Chapter Five

POV

“ELLIE!” I yelled at my daughter as I see Bella looking down at her lap tears in her eyes.

She stood up,and walked to her room.

I stood up and followed my daughter to her room. “What’s your problem with Bella?” I asked trying to reign down my anger.

“She’s not my mum!” She yelled at me.

“And she doesn’t want to be your mother! You need to apologise to that nice lady out there whose crying. She just lost her husband yesterday and is pregnant! The last thing she needs on her plate right now,is to handle a bratty kid like you. Now go!” I yelled at her as she stared at me in shock.

She walked out and across the living room to her room. I hear shuffling and I knocked on the door.

“Bella?” I called out and opened the door seeing her shuffled to put all her books back in the boxes.

“Hey,what are you doing?” I asked her.

“Its alright. I’m leaving. I don’t want to bother you guys so I’m leaving now” I frowned.

“Ellie leave” I said and she nods leaving.

“Bella,you don’t have to” she shook her head.

“Its alright. She’s right. I’m going home now. But thanks you Jaxon, for opening your door to us for this short period of time” just then,there’s a heavy rain and the sound of thunder outside.

“Please,I can’t risk the baby’s life if you go out in this weather. You will most probably catch a cold” she sighed before nodding.

“Alright. But I’ll be gone by morning”

“No,please stay. I apologise on behalf of my daughter. She’s just facing a lot of difficulty especially since her mother left us at a young age and she’s just not used to another woman around except for her aunt, my sister” I tried to explain.

“Oh…..I’m sorry to hear that…”

“It was a long time ago. But,you should probably get some rest Bella and please. Stay with us,I’m sure Ellie will come around. She always does” she just nodded.

“Do you need help with the dishes?” She asked making me smile and shook my head.

“Its alright. Thank you for cleaning the house. You didn’t have to” she just smiles.

“Alright. Good night” she says and I nod standing up as I moved to the door.

“Good night Bella” I said as she falls asleep on the bed.

Chapter Six

Bella

Rosé

▶▶▶

I woke up bright and early the next morning. After a much needed shower,I put on another one of my many corset dresses. I tied my hair up in a ponytail below letting a few brunette curls frame my face.

I went out to the pen house to pick up some eggs. I had a lot of fun. I also made them bacon,fried potatoes with eggs along with pancakes and some grilled cheese sandwiches since I made bread in the oven this morning along with the dairy cheese in the fridge.

I hear them come into the kitchen.

“Good morning” Jaxon says as I poured him some coffee.

“Good morning” I said back.

Ellie completely ignored me as I set her food in front of her. We said grace before we ate.

“Oh my goodness. This is so good” Jaxon says making me laugh a bit. It was as if he hasn’t ate for days the way he was gobbling up his breakfast.

“Feel free to get some more from the frying pan” I said while using the fork I set by.

“What about you? You’re feeding for two so you should eat more too” Jaxon says.

“Its alright. I’m good with this” he nods and gets some more.

I noticed how Ellie smiled a bit when she was eating her pancakes. Once breakfast was finished, they quickly left the house.

“Wait!- what’s for dinner tonight?” I asked because I’d already finished all the left over vegetables and meat last night for dinner which was soup.

“We have chickens if you’d want to make something out’ve that but I try to get someone to drop off some beef meat from town” I nodded thinking the latter.

I am not that merciless to kill a chicken so I opted for the beef.

They leave waving me off goodbye as I started to get to work.

First I washed the dishes and put all their dishes in the right places. Then,I took out the laundry and started hand washing them. I fixed the clothe line outside before I started hanging the clothes. While waiting for the clothes and bedsheets to dry up,I got out my paintings from their boxes before putting it up. The old fire place wasn’t being used anymore so I put it up again after so many attempts.

Then,I started out my knitting kit. Started with some casual couch covers and pillow cases. I smiled at my work of art.

I then decided to clean both Jaxon and Ellie’s rooms which I gotta say was a challenge myself. Had some grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch.

Yum.

Then got back to work. After knitting some of the couch covers and pillow cases,I had gone out to get the clothes back inside. Folded them nicely and put it nearly in their wooden carved drawers no doubt Jaxon made it.

I spread newly washed bedsheets on their beds and spread some vanilla essence to their room.

Walking out,I decided today,I’d be doing some garden work. I so badly wanted to clean out the garden.

After finding some garden equipments in the tool room,I got to work. I removed everything,before started planting the rose gold roses. A very unique color.

Smiling at my work ,I got back inside noticing someone was knocking on the door. From inside,I answered.

“Who is it?”

“Miss Rosé? I’m an errand boy from town. My boss asked me to bring you some meat?for your dinner” I opened the door taking the brown bag if meat.

“Thank you. I’m sorry about that. I’m Bella so please call me Bella” I give out my hand so he could shake it.

He does so with a smile. “I’m Sawyer” I nodded.

“Did he say anything else?” I asked Sawyer.

“No ma’am except for that there’s vegetables here in the farm. I was told to help you get them out so just let me know which kind of vegetables you’d like and I’ll get them for you”

“Are you sure?I can help…”

“No ma’am, boss strictly prohibited that you help me in the garden. Doesn’t want to risk your health” I nodded.

“Alright. Well thank you Sawyer. And once you’re done, come find me so I can give you some cookies I had made” he smiled and his eyes clearly showed joy.

“Yes ma’am” he says before running off to get the vegetables.

I started getting some of Ellie’s and Jaxon’s clothes specifically, the ones which had torns in them and started fixing them up. A knock came from the backdoor and I peeked out seeing Sawyer with a box of fresh vegetables.

I took them from him and gave him a small wrapped up box of cookies. “Thank you ma’am. I’ll surely give this to my ill mother” I nodded thanking him for the vegetables.

I quickly cut up the meat,into slices before laying them out on the oven tray with cut up vegetables and potatoes to roast it with. I put the peanut and choc chip cookies in the large glass jar and put it out in the open for later desert treats.

I took a bath, before I quickly sat back down on the couch as the fire place lit up the room warming it up despite the windy breeze outside.

I took out one of my favourite books I’d read over and over again, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin one of greatest idols.

The door opens and Jaxon walks in with Ellie. “Something smells good” Jaxon complimented making me blush.

“Go shower. Dinner should be ready soon” they walked off to their bedrooms smiling when I hear their very loud woahs.

I quickly checked to see the stake was ready.

Yum.

They walked out fresh from their shower as they wore the clean clothes I’d washed for them. “Thank you so much Bella” Jaxon says and I nodded.

“Its alright. Go set the table” he nodded before he goes off setting the table.

Someone pulled the dress a bit making me look in confusion at Ellie.

“Are you alright?” I whispered as I see Jaxon setting up the table with a happy glint in his eyes.

“I wanted….to apologise. I’m sorry” I smiled and nodded.

“Of course. I forgave you a long time ago Ellie. Its fine” she nodded and goes off making me smile.

We had dinner,making casual small talks about our day. “I like how the house is looking Bella. Thank you” Jaxon repeated as he glanced over to the now cozy comfortable looking house that had a fireplace and paintings decorating the once blank dull walls.

I had a few clay pots set up around the house including the dinner table and the wooden table in the living room, along with another one by the counter filled with roses that I put vanilla essence on.

“Thank you. I really enjoy cleaning up around here” he nods as we changed the subject.

“Where did you learn to read?” Ellie asked suddenly. Jaxon looked at me then back at Ellie.

“Well,when I was little, my older brother was a teacher at the town’s school. It was just him and me all along so he’d teach me how to read while I taught him how to cook since he was terrible at it. He changed his career over the years and now he is a ship captain for the England’s Royal Cruises” while me and Jaxon laughed at the part where my brother was a terrible cook, Ellie looked nervous.

This didn’t go by unnoticed by us so Jaxon asked. “Ellie?what’s wrong?”

“I…..Can you teach me?……how to read?” I nodded making my hair bob.

“Of course. I can help you. Lets start tomorrow,yeah?” she nodded and so its settled,I was going to start teaching Ellie tomorrow.

Right after dinner,i go to stand up and get the dishes when Jaxon stopped me.

“Its alright Bella, I’ll be doing dinner dishes from tonight onwards. Go finish reading or something” he told me.

“Alright. But make sure the food waste goes in the other bin” he nodded while taking my empty plate.

“Thank you for cleaning out the dishes” he shrugged.

“Its nothing compared to the cleaning you do around here” I go to stand up when I felt a huge pain in my abdomen,over my noticeable baby bump.

I yelled in pain when the pain increased more. “BELLA?!” I heard Jaxon yell for me as my knees gave up and I started dry heaving against the table.

He appeared before me,looking as worried as ever. He suddenly picked me up as I doubled over in immense pain.

I clutched his broad shoulders as he carried me over to the couch.

“W-what do I do?!” He stuttered looking so panicked.

“Its ok. I’ll be fine. Just….just help me to bed,I need to rest” he nodded and picked me up before I could stand up to attempt talking.

He carried me to the bedroom and put me gently on the bed. He untied my corset dress from behind,making us both have close proximity to the point where I could feel his breath over my lips.

I stared up at his face only to find his eyes already on mine. I don’t know what came over me as I slightly leaned in,he leans in soon, and our lips met.

Sparks erupted from our touched lips as he gently held my face. He goes to deepen the kiss but I pulled away.

THIS IS WRONG!

He seems to get the memo and quickly helped me out of my corset dress, all the while,his eyes never meeting my body. He covered me with a blanket.

“Good night Bella…”

“Good night Jaxon”

Chapter Eight

I laid in bed,my mind going back to that kiss. What did this mean?did she like me? Cause I definitely liked her.

The sparks that erupted from our touched lips,was like nothing I’d ever felt. So…alive.

I couldn’t sleep,after I tucked her in bed, I went back to cleaning out the kitchen. I was really proud of what Bella did around the house. She even cleaned out my mother’s garden.

Then my mother’s words came back to me before she had passed.

I smiled but the smile immediately disappeared when I heard someone throwing up. I rushed out of my clean comfortable bed thanks to Bella before I ran to her room.

She was hunched over the toilet bowl throwing up her dinner. I pulled her hair back before I rubbed her back.

She threw up again before leaning into my chest,deeply heaving a breath as sweat coated her beautiful face. I quickly flushed the toilet before I picked her up. She cried on my shoulder holding her baby bump.

“Its going to be alright” I didn’t like seeing her cry.

I took her to the living room and to the kitchen before I seat her up on the kitchen counter. She leaned against my shoulder blade sleepily as she clutched the front of my shirt breathing heavily once again.

I just held her there rubbing small circles over her back as she silently cried on me. I loved her smell. It was like a fresh scent of vanilla and freshly baked cookies.

“I’m so hungry” she mumbled as I take her to sit by the wooden stool and fixed her up some pancakes,cookies and warm milk.

After she finished her food,I helped her back in bed. Tucking her in,making sure she was comfortable enough,I pecked her coconut scented hair before I left the room.

••••••••••

Early in the morning, I woke up and went to the farm to get some eggs,dairy and milk the cows.

I killed a few chickens and cleaned them up before I put them in different bags before I got back home smiling when I walked passed the rose garden.

Yeah,Isabella was definitely a keeper.

I walked inside seeing Bella already making a dough of something. Probably bread. Yum.

“Hey,I bought some food from the farm. Did Sawyer come by yesterday?” She nodded.

“Yes. He bought the vegetables from the garden for me so I gave him some cookies for his ill mother” I nodded before putting away things in the fridge and small pantry we had.

“What are you making?” I asked as I took a seat by the stool watching her bake.

“You’ll see” she says with a smirk before she got back to kneading the dough.

She’s so beautiful.

Chapter Nine

▶▶▶

I laughed at Jaxon’s face when he bit into the dairy coated crosones I’d made. Ellie was eating all of hers just as fast as her father.

“Oh my Lord. This is so good” Jaxon says dramatically as I ate mine like an actual human being rather than these two who are eating like hungry animals.

“How did you make these?” Ellie asked.

“Well,I can teach you later on today, after I teach you how to read” I said in my usual soft tone making her nod.

“Please don’t do any house work around here. You need to rest and I’ll have Ellie tell me if you start working again. If you’re feeling too tired to teach Ellie today,you can teach her another day so please just have some rest okay?” Jaxon told me making me nod defeatedly.

Jaxon cleaned out the kitchen after we we’re done with breakfast.

I bought out a bunch of blank pages and a few pencils to the living room where me and Ellie started our teaching lesson.

It did help with the fact that she was a very fast learner.

“Do you like my dad?” She asked after writing a bunch of words I’d asked her to.

“Of course I like your dad. I also like you. You’re both very nice to me” I said with a confused frown.

Why would she ask me that? I liked them,so?

She sighed. “Not that kind of like. Like, like-like kind. An attraction?” I caught on what she’s been hinting.

Oh,she meant that kind of like. Well,no. My husband just died days ago and I’m not thinking of moving on so soon.

“I’m sorry Ellie. I don’t like your father that way,nothing more than just a friend” she looked sad for a brief second before she shrugged it off.

“I’m going to give you a book I always loved reading when I was little” I said giving her Charlotte’s

web

She took it and smiled at me.

“Thanks” she said before she walked to her room starting to read to herself out loud.

She opens the door and peeked out.

“Dad says you can’t clean up today” I sigh before I dropped the broom again.

“How’s the book coming along” I asked her as I took a seat on the couch. I started mindlessly knitting some baby clothes. Just some sweaters and socks.

“Woah. Can you teach me how to do that?” I nodded as I helped her through the threads.

She giggled slightly making me smile. I looked up to the doorway seeing Jaxon smiling with his arms crossed.

I smiled back at him before I focused on what Ellie was doing.

“Right there,just over this loop. You miss these two loops but you can’t miss these two” I said my arms going around her to help her with the hoops and wooden needles.

“Dad look!I made a sock!” She says making her father snap outve his trance and smiled at Ellie’s work.

“Good job, Bella? Can I talk to you privately?” I nodded as I told Ellie to continue what she was doing.

What I say?she was a fast learner.

We walked out to the back garden and he looked really nervous making me frown with a huge amount of curiosity.

“I-I…..I’ve been meaning to ask you” I nodded encouraging to spill whatever he wanted to say.

He sighed in defeat. “If you’d like to cook dinner again tonight” that’s it? Dinner?

“Are you hungry?but its not even lunch yet?” He shook his head.

“No no,that’s not it. Never mind. Thank you for helping Ellie. You know,with girl stuff. Like the knitting and reading. She doesn’t want to go to school around here cause the village kids always make fun of her with her clothes and stuff” I nodded.

“Well,I’ve already made her some dresses. I’ve been meaning to tame that wild hair too” I nudged to her and Jaxon laughed a bit.

“Do you…do you regret that kiss?” He suddenly asked.

“I don’t know…..my husband just died Jaxon. I felt like I’m moving on too fast so can we just slow this down?whatever it is?” He smiled and nodded before he picked me up hugging me tightly making me giggle when his face tickled my neck.

“Yes. We can go as slow as you want” I nodded and we walked back inside.

Jaxon helped around the farm with Ellie while I worked in the garden after I washed more of their clothes. I’d already made some dresses for Ellie and a few coats for Jaxon for winter.

I’d also put them in their rooms,in their individual drawers.

I looked to see the cookie jar empty. Just then Jaxon and Ellie walked in covered in mud and straws.

I laughed. “Who finished the cookies?” I fake glared at them with crossed arms over my chest.

“He did”

“She did”

They said at the same time looking scared and nervous as they pointed accusingly at each other.

“Alright alright. Go shower,both of you” I said and they quickly left. Jaxon shot me a wink and I blushed.

After their shower,Ellie walked out wearing one of the dresses I made her. I smiled at her as she twirled.

“I love it” she says hugging me.

Just then Jaxon walked out from the backyard with a bunch of clothes from the clothesline.

Chapter Ten

Jaxon

Blackwood

▶▶▶

Afew months had passed by and every waking day, I found myself more and more in love with the woman who lived with us.

The house looked a lot like home now. She had made it feel like home around here too. A few months ago,we’d gone off to the doctor in town to get her checked up.

It was a healthy baby boy. One I wished so much I’d father one day but for her sake,I’ll take her pace,as long as she likes.

We had went out on a family date,nothing too active because I’d worry so much for the small boy growing inside her. We had a picnic by the lake.

Ellie looked happy too. She’d started wearing dresses and shoes that she never wore and Issy did such a great job with her hair. Ellie’s new found hobby was now reading and painting while some days she’s riding horses at the ranch with me.

Issy always made baked treats whenever I came home and I’d look forward to breakfast and dinners cause she’s making them. Lunches?yeah not so much but she’s started packing me lunch.

I can tell Ellie really liked her. They’d make clothes like coats and long sleeved sweaters for me when I’d go out during winter.

Right now,we were preparing for the harvest festivals. This year,crop growth and livestock went quite well for the farm.

I’d have Sawyer my errand boy getting some dairy products for when Issy was wanting to bake something she craved.

Her morning sickness aren’t as frequent as before but she still has them.

Right as I walked out from my room wearing one of the comfortable sweaters shed made me,she and Ellie walked out her room wearing their dresses.

The doctor advised Issy not to wear corsets until the baby was born so I had bought lightweight materials for her to make her own dresses. She looked elegant.

She had her long hair down in their natural curls,framing her beautiful goddess like face. And the dress she was wearing was a light blue color. The sleeves had reached up to her wrists,with a beautiful vneck line drawing out enough amount of cleavage for me to drool over her.

Her bump was bigger now. She was 5 months along her pregnancy. The material had flown down until it reached the ends of her ankles. It was a light blue color that she put threads making flowers over it making it look just as elegant as she was.

Ellie looked beautiful as well,had her hair tied in a neat ponytail with a ribbon of light blue that matched her dress.

They had matching dresses. “Wear this Ellie. I don’t want you catching a cold” Ellie obediently put on the small red cloak. Another one of Issy’s many works.

Issy put on her own cloak that I bought her. She loved wearing it.

“Can I take a book?” Ellie asked me.

“Of course” I told her as she ran off to get her book.

“You look beautiful” she blushes.

“Thank you. You don’t look too bad yourself” I wrapped my hand around her waist as she leaned into me making me take in her floral scent.

I sighed internally,beautiful.

“Are we moving too fast?” I asked her in a whispering tone. She shook her head against my chest.

“Its alright” I pecked her head as Ellie walked out giving me a cheeky smirk.

“Issy?are you alright?” Issy pulled away softly from me as my hand goes to her bump. She blushed bright red when she realised Ellie caught us.

“Yes I’m fine,let’s go” I followed them out.

Our new husky Rover was guarding the house and the farm as we went into town. A few weeks ago I’d made a carriage for Isabella in case she wanted to go into town.

While I drove us by the front, they were sat comfortable in the carriage most probably, no doubt, reading.

Once upon our arrival,the villagers came to greet us. “I’m going over there to the girls” Issy told me making me nod as Phillip came to take me away.

“Oh no. I know that look” Phillip says making me frown.

“What look?” I asked confused.

What bull dunk has he got mixed up now?

“You’re in love my friend” my other friends cheerfully agreed.

“What are you talking about Phil?”

“Its the same look I give Jessie man,I know it. You’re in love with that woman” I shook my head. A small smile threatened to appear but I forced it down.

“Don’t be silly”

“You’re whipped mate,I’m telling you. You love her and we’re going to celebrate that!” The guys cheered making the ladies look our way. Issy’s eyes looked into mine and the guys started wolf whistling making her blush and turned away as the girls giggles filled the village from the other side from us.

Ellie was even playing with some kids her age.

I smiled but the smile quickly disappeared when they poured me a glass of beer.

“Oh no. I have to drive them back home later” they cheered again tapping Phil’s shoulder.

“Aye,aye what I say?whipped” I rolled my eyes but pushed the beer cup away.

They downed it knowing when I won’t drink I wouldn’t.

Afew hours later▶▶

Ellie ran up to me, after the village feast “Dad,Issy and I want to go home now. Are you done?” I nodded farewelling the boys.

“Get some!” Phillip yelled out drunk out of his mind as the other guys laughed. I shook my head.

I went over to Issy and Jessie where they’d been talking.

“Are you ready to go?” I asked her as she nodded. She hugged Jessie and her other friends.

“Good night ladies” I said before I guided both Issy and Ellie to the carriage. I helped them in and soon we were off.

I arrived back home opening the door to the carriage, Issy and Ellie were both passed out sleeping.

I picked up both of them.

I snuggled closer to the warm muscular body carrying me. Hmm,cologne scent.

Jaxon.

He carried us both inside. After a while,he put me down softly in my bed. I woke up sleepily.

“Do you need help with taking your dress off or are you alright?” I just nodded and he started helping me out of my dress.

I watched him as he focused on getting the buttons undone,a strand of his curly black locks brushed against his eyes and I reached out my hand to brush it off. His eyes found mine and I found myself leaning into him until my lips met his. He laid me back as he kissed me with so much hunger,I kissed him back as his hands went over to the top of my head,leaning on his elbow making his muscles flex as our tongues moved in a passionate dance.

I pulled away breathless as Jaxon trailed kisses over my neck making me moan.

“Are we going too fast?” He asks huskily in my ear.

“No! Oh god,Jaxon!” He sucked my neck as moans leaves my mouth.

“God baby,I want you so bad.” he says huskily as he bucks his hips into my wet entrance.

He dry humped me,making sure he didn’t put any heavy pressure on my bump as my lips met his own as I shut my eyes tightly. His hands pulled up my dress as he breaks the kiss staring at me.

“I’m just going to make you feel good baby. We’re not doing it exactly” I nodded before kissing him again.

I pulled over his shirt and he unbuttoned my dress completely. His lips trailed down my chest before he takes in one of my breast in his mouth making me moan out in ecstasy.

“A-Aghh Jaxon!” He groans buckling his hips again as he kneaded my other breast.

I clutched the bedsheets when his lips trailed down my bump. Then he removed my panties,I could feel his breath over my folds.

With one movement,his face dove in and took my folds into his mouth.

“Jaxon!” I moaned. I’ve never felt this much pleasure in such a long time.

I clutched the bedsheets above me as I forced my legs closed again but his hands open my legs up again.

His tongue worked wonders as I found myself close to peeing my pants.

“Jaxon!….s-stop I’m going to pee” he looked up,his lips shining under the night light as he smiled.

“Its ok baby,just let it go” he says increasing the pace of his tongue over my folds.

I moaned loudly, moaning his name as I let go when he put pressure on my abdomen rubbing soft circles on it.

He drinks the white liquid that came out if me before his lips found mine again. I saw the dent in his boxers.

He goes to pick up his clothes when I shifted over letting him know he could get in bed. He gets in,no shirt on and I’m naked on the bed.

He pecks my cheek as he spooned me from behind. Rubbing soft circles on my baby bump.

“Good night Jaxon…”

“Good night Issy” I smiled at my nickname.

No one has ever called me Issy before. Only Belle or Bella.

Chapter Twelve

▶▶▶

I got up outve bed frowning when everything was silent. I walked out into the kitchen confused.

Where’s Issy?

And dad?

I walked to Issy’s room smiling when I saw them cuddling next to each other on the bed. Dad was bare chested as Issy was snuggled close to him,only a blanket covering their naked form.

I shook dad’s shoulder. He only snuggled closer to Issy’s neck.

I sighed and smacked him on the head. He abruptly wakes up making Issy shuffled a bit in her sleep.

Dad covered her naked body from me as I rolled my eyes. Possessive much?

“Dad,I’m hungry. Can you make me something?” He groaned.

“Do you actually need my help?” I shook my head.

“No” I said with a playful smirk he shooed me away playfully as he cuddles close to Issy whose fast asleep. Even in her sleep,she managed to look absolutely flawless.

I really liked her and I wanted to be like her when I grow up.

I wanted to be like Bella.

I walked back out and made some eggs for me. I hear Issy’s laughter from the room as I peeked in seeing Dad snuggled his face close to her neck.

I rolled my eyes. I’m gonna puke if they don’t stop soon. I ate my fried eggs as Issy and Dad walked out. Wearing a knee length floral dress, I could see Issy’s baby bump as she tied her hair up in a loose ponytail. Dad kisses my head.

“Morning Ellie” Issy said and I replied back with a good morning.

Dad goes and hugged Issy from behind making her giggle. I put up my book blocking their sight as I continued reading my book. Issy puts some food on my plate and kisses my head before taking my book and placing it on the side next to my plate of food.

We had breakfast until we heard a knock at the door. Dad went to get it and he started talking to Uncle Phil, dad’s best friend.

Uncle Phil, walked in with Aunt Jessie and my crush, who is their son, Peter. Peter was very well known in our elementary school in the village.

But before all this,before Issy came a long and made me look like an actual girl. Peter and his friends would make fun of me.

I ignored him and walked outside, reading my book by my usual tree,I’d grown loving to read my books at.

Tonight,uncle Phil and Aunt Jessie will be staying over for dinner since it was our traditional BBQ night.

I see a shadow loom over me as I looked up from my book meeting those gorgeous eyes of my bully. “What you doing here?” I asked him annoyed.

“What?can’t I just hang out with you?”

I blushed when Jessie continued teasing me. “Keep quiet. They’ll hear us” I said despite my bright red face.

Jessie and I were putting the vegetables away for tonights BBQ. Jaxon will be hosting tonight so I’ll make sure to make some treats for desert.

Soon Jessie and Phil had to leave with their son Peter who was outside with Ellie.

Jaxon wraps his arms around me from behind kissing my cheek as his hands fall on my bump. We looked out the window seeing Ellie read her book by her favourite tree.

“What’s wrong?” Jaxon asked seeing my frown.

I sighed,should I really tell him?

“Its nothing…” He turns me around so I face him,most specifically,his chest.

“Baby,please tell me…” I didn’t notice it but tears started falling down my cheeks and I tried to quickly wipe them away.

I noticed the extremely worried look on Jaxon’s face as he held my chin,his thumb wiping the lone tears that fell down my bony cheeks.

I cried in his chest as he held me whispering sweet nothings in my ear. “I’ve got you baby,just let it out. Whatever it is…” He rubbed my back soothing.

“I-Its just….I-I’m so happy. I feel….I feel bad cause I’m…I’m at peace h-here with you…a-and Ellie” he hugged me picking me up as he sat me on his lap by the couch.

“Shh,its ok to feel that way,alright? If you feel at peace,it means its the right thing. That doesn’t mean that you being with James wasn’t right its just…. You’ve found a closure. He wants you to be happy and if being here makes you happy and at peace it means he’s fine with this. He would want the best for you Isabella,and you deserve nothing but the best,alright?” I nodded feeling that lingering feeling of guilt and doubt disappear into thin air as if it was never there.

He pecks the crown of my head. “Is everything ok?dad,why is Issy crying?did you hurt her?!” She yelled and Jaxon furrow his brows in confusion.

“No,I’d never hurt her Ellie. Issy was just…very emotional. Its a side effect of pregnancy” Jaxon explained and Ellie nodded relieved.

“Ok. Issy,do you need any help?with tonight’s preparations?” I nodded wiping away my tears.

“Yes please. If you’re not too busy” I get off Jaxon’s lap with his help of course.

“Alright, I’m going to work in the farm for some time, Ellie?make sure Issy doesn’t lift any heavy stuff ok?” Ellie nodded as I started working in the kitchen.

I ended up teaching Ellie how to cook and cut meat with a blade,holding it the right way and what not.

We laughed at afew things and went on to knitting afew more clothes for the baby. I ended up making sweaters while Ellie did the socks and baby shoes.

Lunch came around and Jaxon walked back in,dirty and sweaty from working outside. He had straw in his hair making both Ellie and I laugh.

He faked a pout and I pecked his cheek making him smile and try to kiss me. I moved out of his way laughing.

“Go bath,you stink” I said making a fake look of disgust and scrunched my nose as I waved my hand over my face.

He leaves after attempting to rub his body on me. Ellie smiled at us and yelled ow when the needle poked her fingernail drawing out blood.

I moved on my own accord and rushed to her. “Ow,it hurts” she whimpered as she leaned into me,resting her head on my shoulder blade. I got some cotton balls and cream to put on her hand. Jaxon walked out and rushed over to us on the couch.

“What happened?” He asks kneeling down to comfort Ellie as I wiped her blood off,putting the creme on the white bandaid wrap before putting it around her bleeding finger.

I tied it not too tight to stop blood circulation but just enough that it didn’t fall off.

“There,see?all better” I smiled at her wiping her tears away as a curly strand flowed down my face and I brushed it behind my ear.

She surprised me by hugging my neck pulling me close to her. Jaxon smiled at me and I hugged Ellie back smiling against her small body.

This felt good.

Chapter Fourteen

Isabella

Rosé

I looked down at my outfit,this dress hugged my body in all the right places and showed my baby bump. Bringing out my bright green eyes against this gray dress floral designs on them.

I braided my hair back in a French plait as it flowed down my waist,along with casual short curly strands that framed my face bringing out my eyes more.

I smiled at myself.

Looking down,I smiled when I saw Ellie sitting on my bed reading,as usual these days.

“Are you ready to go?” She sighed and nodded closing her book.

“Yeah. Its just….” I sat down beside her.

“What’s wrong?” I asked sitting in a position so I’d face her.

“I don’t have real friends Issy. Like you and aunt Jessie. Can’t I just stay in my room and read?” I scrunched my brows in confusion.

“What about Peter? I thought he was your friend” she sighed shaking her head.

“No he isn’t. Before you came along, he and his friends used to bully me cause I smelled and couldn’t read and whatnot. They’ll be here tonight. ALL of his friends” she says emphasizing on the all part.

“What are you talking about?you were playing with them during harvesting feasts in town just weeks ago” she sighed.

“I guess some of them might like me now but I have no interests in any of them,not in the slightest” I smiled at how she was becoming good with her vocabulary skills.

“Alright Ellie. Its good that you’re very smart at such a young age. There’s a time for everything and right now its time to get food ready “ she giggled and held my hand as we leave my room. Shocked to see Jaxon smiling standing at the front of our once closed door.

“We’re you ease dropping on us?” I accused playfully folding my hand across my chest giving him a pointed look.

“DAD!” Ellie says embarrassed face palming with a tint of blush on her cheeks.

“I…I…um…ah…wow” Jaxon says gaping speechlessly at me looking me up and down making me blush. Ellie leaves going to the kitchen getting things out like I taught her to.

Jaxon wrapped his arms around nuzzling his face in my neck. “You look so beautiful” he whispered in my ear as he kisses my bare shoulder up to my neck and face before he kissed my lips.

I pulled away when I heard a knock. Jaxon groaned but pecked the crown of my head before he goes to greet his friends.

I go to the kitchen and helped Ellie who did really well even though I taught her today.

Like I said,she’s a fast learner.

Jessie came to us and hugged both Ellie and I. We start taking food to the back yard as the men started grilling the BBQ. The fireplace outside was being used as some people sat around playing their guitars. I looked for Ellie seeing her reading by her usual tree with a torch making me smile.

I put down one of the salad dishes by the long wooden table and turned to walk back inside when a man stops me. He stood too close for comfort as he took a step forward making me take one back. I looked for Jaxon not seeing him in sight.

“Well,what’s a lovely lady as yourself doing all the work by herself?” He asked as my heart raced in fear.

“You must be Bella. The beauty the town woman are so jealous of” I gulped as I leaned into the table grabbing a dinner knife,I gripped it before I swung it at him.

He held up my hand as he gripped my hand tightly before he swung a hand across my cheek making me dizzy a bit as I fell back holding my stinging cheek.

Something with a metallic taste in my mouth as I touched my now busted lip.

“S-stop “ I said as I moved back on the ground.

He was definitively drunk from the waft of beer coming from him.

He picks up the front of my dress as he he gripped my neck cutting the wind out of me. I clawed at his hands but to no avail.

The crashing of plates is heard before someone screams. This gets the men’s attention and Jaxon looks to me.

My eyes started closing as my arms got tired of struggling. The last thing I see was Ellie’s crying and Jaxon rushing to get this man off me.

Chapter Fifteen

Jaxon

Blackwood

▶▶▶

Phillip and the other guys tried to pry me off from killing this fucker. I’m completely blinded by rage.

How dare he touch a woman!

How dare he touch my woman!

I swung my fists across his face over and over again ignoring him asking for me to stop.

“Dad stop!you’re going to kill him!” Ellie yelled out but I never stopped.

Seeing the bruise on her cheek,the busted lip,the purple mark over her neck just made that demon I tried so hard to keep locked away come out and I didn’t plan to stop myself either.

I punched his face so much it became unrecognisable as the guys tried again to pry me away from this uninvited fucker.

I kicked him so hard over and over again in hopes I broke his bones. I picked up the unconscious love of my life and took her inside to my room.

I laid her there and wanted to punch a wall. Why wasn’t I close by enough to stop this?!

Jessie being a town nurse said she’ll be fine. She just fell unconscious from the lack of air in her lungs.

She did say she needed to get checked by a doctor to see if the baby was alright.

I laid her on my bed,making her comfortable. I removed her dress,before dressing her in one of my clothes she’d made me.

I pressed a kiss to her hair,my lips lingering there for a while as a tear slid down my cheeks. I could hear people leaving one by one.

I walked out seeing my friends.

“Hey,I’m sorry about tonight. Maybe we’ll try next time?” I asked as Finnick another one of my friends spoke.

“Its fine Jaxon,take as much time as you need from work to take care of her. Is your woman alright? We’ll deal with Wilbur for ya mate” so that’s the bastard’s name.

Wilbur.

“Thanks. And goodnight” I waved them off before I walked back into my room seeing Ellie pressing a wet cloth against her cheek

“What’s that Elle?” I asked her.

“Its cold water. It prevents her skin from getting swollen. I’ll try getting some medicine for her bruises” I nod and she stood up.

“Its not your fault dad,so don’t blame yourself” she says before leaving,shutting the door while she walked out.

I sat by Issy’s side,holding her hand in mine.

About an hour later,she’s awake and she whimpered in pain touching her cheek. I held her hand from her cheek.

“Hey,hey,don’t touch it. It’ll only make it worse” she looks at me and hugged me tightly.

“Who was that?” She asked against my neck.

“No one baby. He’s been taken care of” she breaks the hug.

“Hey,I know that look. This isn’t your fault!” She said sternly.

“Of course its my fault Isabella. That man wouldn’t have done it if I was just next to you! I bought that man into our house and its my fault that you’re hurt!” I yelled back.

She stood up to my level, and gives me an angry look.

“Stop saying that! You and I both know its not your fault! This is no one’s fault !!” She yelled in my face.

“How can you say that?! Of course its my fault!I let him in our house, and he hurt you!end of discussion!” She gives me a hateful look and crossed her arms over her chest making her breasts cleavage rise up more making me distracted for a second.

“No! Its not your fault Jaxon! Why can’t you just understand that?!” She yelled as tears threatened to spill.

“Y-you just-” she started again but I cut her off as I kissed her beautiful lips.

She moaned in my mouth pulling my shirt back to her as she lies down on the bed,our lips never breaking. I taste her blood as I cut the kiss.

“We can’t. I’ll hurt your lips” I said making her lick her lips.

“Please?…” She asks with a cute pout and gives me her puppy dog look making me give in within a heartbeat.

“Alright. But tell me if I’m hurting or making you uncomfortable” she nods kissing my neck. I groaned as I bucked my hips into her already wet entrance.

She pulled my shirt over my head as she kissed down my body making me groan in pleasure. She ends up on top of me as my hands touch her clothed lower body.

I flip us over and she’s beneath me. I kiss her collarbone and neck making her moan.

My hand finds the front of her clothed entrance making her moan.

This is going to be a long night.

Chapter Sixteen

Jaxon’s

POV

I hugged Issy’s body from behind as my arms tightened around her waist, my hand going to squeeze her full ass making her moan in her sleep. I hold her hair up as I traced my lips against her back until I reached her cheeks pecking and biting into it softly as she moaned.

I pulled her smooth tall legs apart as I see she’s already wet for me. Last night we didn’t go all the way cause she’s so close in her pregnancy,I might actually hurt the baby.

I know the baby isn’t mine but I already love him like actually was. I just ate her out,pleasuring her with my fingers as she jerked me off till I came. There’s hickeys on her neck,her plum big breast that I’ve loved so much to play with,and this wet p*ssy right here.

She moaned breaking me from my thoughts. “Jaxon!” She says biting her lips as my tongue met her soaking wet entrance.

“Nn-Aarhh!! Jaxon!don’t stop!” She says as my tongue goes faster licking over her sensitive folds as she bucked her hips in my face. Practically fucking my face.

My finger entered her as she moaned loudly. Thank god Ellie isn’t here.

She’s actually at Jessie and Phil’s house for today. Her choice though so yeah….

I put my middle finger in and groaned when her entrance practically squeezed the life out of my fingers.

“So tight my love” I growled biting onto the flesh above her folds. She moans closing her eyes and arched her back as her nipples hardened from the cool breeze from my window.

I go up to kiss her,my finger driving deeper into her but not too deep either. I bit her bottom lip dragging it between my teeth before I stuck my tongue inside her mouth.

I pulled away,my mouth matching onto her full breast. I groaned when her hands in front of my raging cock. Touching me,rubbing me all over,driving me nuts.

I pulled my fingers out of her as she takes her precum and shoves her fingers in my mouth. I drink her juice.

I take my own fingers licking off her precum before I squeezed her full breast I’d grown so addicted to.

God,my son is going to hate me when he finds out I’ll be taking his milk in the future.

I bite around the flesh of her breast as she moaned. My hand goes to her entrance once again rubbing her faster each second as moans after moans leave her lips as I feel the warm liquid makes contact with my hand.

In that moment, i came in my boxers watching her as she heaved a heavy breath.

“Go make me food” she whined and pulled the bedsheets over her naked form. I pecked her lips and she kisses me back.

“I’ll be right back with breakfast” she nodded.

Chapter Seventeen

Isabella’s

POV

I walked into the kitchen seeing Jaxon cooking. He turned around and smiled coming around to help into my chair. He pecks my lips and goes back to making breakfast.

“Where’s Ellie?” I asked him.

“Spend the day at Jess and Phil’s for today” I frowned.

“Why?” He turned around putting a plate of breakfast in front of me.

“Well,why not?I wanna spend time with you alone” I shook my head standing up.

I think I just lost my appetite.

“What’s wrong?” He asked me.

“Why would you do that?” I said on the verge of tears.

“Do what?” He asked confused and worried.

“Why would you send her away like that? You could still spend time with me if she were here. You didn’t have to send her away” he sighed.

“Baby, are you serious right now?come on,don’t cry” too late,I’m already in tears. I shook my head as he closed the gap between us and hugged me to his bare chest.

“How can I not cry? would you send me away like that?just to spend time with your daughter?” He wipes my tears.

“ what?! Of course not baby. Look,please don’t cry. If it makes you feel better,she’ll be back today,she just spent the night there at her aunt Jessie’s place“ I pushed him away.

“If something happens to my daughter Jaxon, I will stop you from touching me” he immediately pales up and nodded continuously.

“Come on,I’m hungry” I said as I take my seat but Jaxon here had other ideas.

He sat me on his lap and fed me,all the while,his hands were rubbing over my baby bump.

He starts talking to the baby, when I feel a kick where his hand was. I take deep breaths as I try to adjust to his kicks.

“Woah baby,I already know you’re going to be a strong one but please don’t hurt mama” like the baby understood what Jaxon says,he doesn’t kick anymore as I rubbed my tummy.

Once breakfast was over,I sent Jaxon to go get Ellie back. I don’t feel safe with her being away from where I can’t see her. I know its just Jessie and Phil but I’m not that easy to trust anytime soon.

I know I shouldn’t even be thinking this but I’m a bit scared. What if Jaxon hurt me like that man from last night?

POV

After Jaxon left to get Ellie,I had started cleaning the house. My room as well as Ellie’s room is clean so I just sweep and clean out Jaxon’s room.

The bruises from last night aren’t as visible as before because Jaxon and Ellie had helped me a lot last night with cold water so yeah….

I walked out to the farm to collect some eggs from the pen house. I did the usual laundry and was in the middle of hanging sheets when I hear Ellie. She walked the backyard and saw me.

“Ma!” She yelled with joy as she hugged me tightly.

“Good morning baby. How was your sleepover last night?” She sighed.

“It was alright. Peter’s mean though so I’m glad dad came to pick me up. I heard you threatened him” I nodded as she giggled.

“Can we go knit some more of baby’s clothes after this?” I nodded at her request.

“If you’re still hungry,I made some lunch already” her eyes lightened up in delight.

“Yes please” I chuckled pecking her hair.

“Go on. We’ll knit when I’m finished here” she nodded pecking my baby bump.

“I’ll come help you once I’m done” she says before running inside.

Before I finished hanging their clothes, Ellie walked out and squeezed off the water from the clothes before handing them to me.

“Where is your father?” I asked her.

“There” she says as I see Jaxon in his tool room. I can’t see what he’s making but I know he’s using wood.

“Come on. You still have to tell me about the book you’ve just read” I stated as she nodded.

“Don’t worry about the basket ma. I’ll get it. Go get the knitting stuff” I nodded as I leave to get the knitting stuff from my room.

Jaxon was such a sweetheart,he’d bought us more knitting threads that comes in a ball of different colors. Once Ellie walked back inside, I had the knitting stuff ready by the living room with a plate of treats.

“Ready?” I asked Ellie when she sat down.

“Yeah. Let’s do it” she replied with a bright smile.

Chapter Nineteen

Jaxon’s

POV

Lately, Issy’s been….distant.

Its the nineth month into her pregnancy and her cravings are pineapples and brownie biscuits.

I did ask her if she was alright but she kept saying she’s  fine and that she will figure it out.

I’d ask if she wanted to talk and she’d just refuse saying it wasn’t that big of a deal.

I’ve also been looking for the right time,to propose to her. These passed few months,home has truly felt like a place I’d be excited to come home to. I already bought the ring. It had a diamond sitting on the top of the silver band and I’d gotten the right size too for her small slender fingers.

Last night really made me question if I was doing something wrong, she had been crying in her room and when I’d ask her,she just said it was nothing and asked me if she could just sleep alone.

I got so pissed,I had lost control, I went out last night and completely destroyed my tool room. I was almost going to destroy my unborn child’s wooden crib that I made him but luckily I didn’t.

So I spend most of last night varnishing the baby crib and doing afew touch ups. That was until Ellie came out and told me to go back inside.

This morning, I’d woken up early and left without breakfast or seeing Issy. Her door was closed and Ellie was still sleeping,a book still in between her fingers closed, I took the book,marked the page she was in, put it by the table of her bedside and tucked her in bed with a peck on her head.

When I came back home tonight,Ellie was sound asleep in her room,and Issy I’m assuming was also in her room.

“Your dinner’s in that wooden compartment” Issy’s voice startled me.

Once I took it out, I took a seat by the dinner table but stood up knocking down my chair as I ran to Issy’s room. I hugged her from behind,the tears flowing down my cheeks before I could stop it.

Issy turned around and hugged me,as I cried on her neck and shoulder.

“I’m sorry,I’m sorry,I’m so sorry Issy. Please don’t do that again. Don’t shut me out like that ever again,ok?” she shushed me as her hand ran through my hair.

She sat us both down, as I cried silently onto her shoulder. “I’m sorry Issy. Please don’t be mad at me anymore. I-I could barely survive at work not knowing whether you’re ok,cause I didn’t see you this morning” she just held me,her hand running through my tousled messy hair. “Its alright Jaxon. I’m not mad at you.” I looked down at her and pecked her neck. My lips lingered there a bit longer before I let go.

“Can we just talk?” I asked her as she nodded.

“What’s wrong?did I do something wrong?” I asked her as she shook her head.

“No but…..” I hear her sigh and she bit her bottom lip from nervousness. Ok,now I really want to know.

“But what?” I asked with a furrowed eyebrow.

“Its just….I’m scared… of you”

“Why?” I asked after letting that sink in.

Why would she be scared of me.

“I don’t know…..like, I’m scared that what if you hurt me?like that man did” ok,I wasn’t expecting an of that.

“Why would you think that?” I stand up from the bed and pace in front of her. Kneeling down, I put my head on her lap.

“I’m not going to hurt you baby,you know that. I get it,you’re a bit scared and i understand that but I would never hurt you and never let anything harm you and this little boy right here” I said pecking her huge baby bump.

She smiled at me and hugged me close to her. “I’m sorry I thought of you like that. Come on,let’s get to bed” I nodded taking off my shirt and pants before I got in bed.

I pecked Issy’s lips when she kissed me back with so much force making me fall back on the pillow as she got on top of me straddling my hip and boner.

We made out for afew minutes,I started taking off her clothes as she kissed along my neck making me groan.

I had bucked my hips making her moan loudly when I took one of her large breast in my hand and sucked on it.

“A-Aghh! J-Jaxon!”
