Donovan (Book 3) TWENTY NINE
I entered Joe's Diner this morning and saw the place was half full of customers. I decided to take Jordan's offer after she told me that her dad needed extra hands. Don dropped me off before he headed off to the gym. I left Leo in Seth's care along with Chris's other children because Terry is busy at work, and he got nothing to do. Effie and the others already started college. But Effie's first day is online classes in Songwriting and Introduction to Classic Music. So, she will be staying home. Effie wishes she had taken the course on campus, but Dr. Warren, the personal family doctor, says she shouldn't be walking around much, even if she's only four months pregnant.The only reason she's complaining now is because she isn't with Logan, and he has classes on campus. She's worried that someone like her arch-nemesis, Heather, or someone who shares the same personality will take the opportunity and grab Logan. Liam and Lily are with him, so she got nothing to worry about. Still, she wo

"Ah, C.J., come in," Jack put down his office phone and smiled. But under that smile, something is bothering him.The first time I met Jack, I was scared because he was more prominent and scary, like a bear, but beneath that frightening look, he's a big softy, especially for his children. Even living here after all his children were born, he still has his Texas accent. When I was little, I thought he was a cowboy because of it and pictured him in those Western movies my dad used to watch on tv."Please, have a seat.""Thank you," I took the sit in front of his desk as he took his own."So, it seems my youngest told you about the offer.""Yes." I shift in my seat."I know you're working the night shift at the bar. Would it be a hassle, especially raising a kid?""I talked with Billie about applying here and quitting at the bar," I tell him."Jordan tells me that you worked at a restaurant in London.""Yes, it's my grandma, but ever since she passed away, my dad sold it," I lower my hea

The whole month I have not told Don yet. Every night we would cuddle, and he would try and make his way to have our clothes off, but the thought of him touching my breast, which grew a bit, and the baby bump, I had to make excuses.

The day of the party was over by the time the clock struck twelve. Everyone is cleaning up except for the pregnant birthday girl.Effie is on the couch with her feet on Logan's lap, giving her a foot massage. The kids are on the floor opening Zara's presents.

I heard the water running in the bathroom while Don briefly showered.I told him to change before I told him.I pace around the room, biting my fingernails, prepping what to say or what I should say about our baby growing inside of me.

It's been three days since I arrived at the safe house in the jungle of Brazil.Brazil.We flew from Long Beach to here in a jet plane. Initially, the kids woke up confused but later enjoyed riding on a private jet. I asked Don if he owned the jet he said it belonged to his billionaire friend who was on his team and invested his money in creating weapons for the military.I asked Lena if she would allow Chris to take a family vacation with us. She agreed, saying she has other business besides Singapore that would take more than a month, and then asked me where. I lied and told her about a vacation in the Bahamas.Bahamas.I wish that were true then. I wouldn't be stressing out about staying in the middle of the Amazon jungle with deadly man-eating animals and deadly mosquitoes. Glad this house has a net that blankets the whole house to keep those pests away.I look through the no glass window watching the kids near the water."Leo! Chris! Time to get inside."It's been three days sinc

Don left a few days ago to meet with his special ops friends. They have something important business about Eddie. Before coming here, the kids and I had to change our names to hide. The boys still asked us about this so-called vacation, and Don and I were running out of excuses. Don wasn't supposed to leave us, but something came up. At least the house has heavy security to keep us and others out. But I want Don here. I need to tell him. I feel so much pressure for not telling Don about his child. I hear the noise again and wonder if Don or one of the boys has snuck their way to the kitchen again for a midnight snack. I grab my robe and head out of the room. I lead down the dark path of the hallway and turn on the light in the kitchen. "Leo?" I call out. "Chris? Are you boys here again?" There was no answer. I walked around the i
