In Love With a Stripper

(Jynx POV)
I put the finishing touches on my sandwich and headed back to the living room to watch TV. It was good to have another morning to myself. No one to watch what I was eating. God I hated that, and if they snatched one more thing out of my hands before I was able to take a bite I swear I am going to bite one of them. They were ridiculous. I turned on the TV and started watching music videos. I was excited for Gerard, but scared as well. He had left to go plan for the upcoming tour, which meant when the baby was born he wouldn’t be here. In fact he may not even see the baby until a month after it was born. I heard the small ding from the mail box at the gate. Then I ran out and got the mail. I went into the bed room Gerard and I shared and sat down on the bed.

“Bill, bill, junk…What the hell,” I said out loud as I came to an envelope without a return address, but it was addressed to me. I tore into the envelope. I gasped after reading the letter and couldn’t help but to read it again. This time slowly to make sure I didn’t misunderstand any of it.

I know you’re scared and I don’t know what he’s threatened you with, but I forgive you. I forgive you for everything and I still love you. I want you to know that no matter what when I get out of here. We’re going to be together. Me you and our child. I don’t know what he’s doing to make you turn against me. I wouldn’t put it past him to threaten our child. That bastard is going to get what’s coming to him when I get out I promise he’ll never touch you or our baby.

It kills me to know that he may hurt you if you don’t stay with him. I know he’s forcing you to say those things to the police and in court. I saw the way you looked at me. Wishing you could come to me. I promise that as soon as I get out I’ll come for you both and this time nothing will keep us apart.

Love Forever

Jared

My hand rested on the small pouch that was my child and suddenly I felt like I wasn’t safe in my own home. I was there alone, but since he’d gone to jail it hadn’t been something that scared me. I actually welcomed the quiet time. The time I needed away from my mother who had taken it upon herself to plan my wedding despite my objections. I wanted something simple and to the point. I wanted a quick courthouse wedding. I was tired of being the center of attention. I just wanted my life to be normal again. I picked up the phone and quickly dialed Gerard’s number

“Hello?” I could hear the concern in his voice. He knew I wouldn’t call him unless something was wrong.

“Gerard are you almost done?” I asked. I hated how small and scared I sounded. It wasn’t like I was in any real danger. Jared was still in jail. There was no way in hell he was going to get out, he was too much of a flight risk.

“What’s wrong? Are you okay? Is the baby okay?” he was starting to panic and I grimaced. I should have called my mother. She wouldn’t have panicked. She would have calmly told me I was being over dramatic and told me to take a nap. It wouldn’t have helped me, but it wouldn’t have Gerard scared out of his mind.

“No, baby’s fine and I’m fine…I just…I just…”

“I’m coming home…” he didn’t wait for me to protest like he knew I would. I quickly decided that I wouldn’t hide the letter as I would have before. I knew better now. Gerard would try his hardest to protect me and our child and it was high time I start letting him do it without a fight on my part. He wasn’t going anywhere and I sure as hell wasn’t leaving him.

It didn’t take long for him to get home and when he came busting into our bed room he was on edge. I could tell from the way his eyes swept over the room looking for what had upset me. I was in his arms a second later having run to him. I needed the warmth of him. I needed to know I was safe and he was all too happy to oblige.

“He sent a letter,” I said. “He wrote about the baby. He said he’s not going to let me go, Gerard he said he was going to hurt you…” I had waited to fall apart until he got there because I knew if I did it on my own I would be halfway across the country. Not that I didn’t think Gerard would follow, but it would be useless and it would mean that Gerard would be giving up too much.

“Shh, it’s okay,” he said smoothing down my hair. “He’s not coming within a thousand miles of you or our baby.”

“He kept calling him our baby. Like the baby was his. Gerard that…man is trying everything he can to drive me insane.”

“Do you want me to give you a spanking?” that took me totally off guard. He’d never threatened violence.

“What?”

“Do you want me to give you a spanking?” he repeated. “Cause if you don’t calm down right this moment I’m going to do just that. You can’t afford to get all riled up like this. Its not good for the baby,” he kissed my forehead.

“Very funny,” I said smiling.

“I mean it, calm down. I’m not going to let anything happen to you or our child,” he moved his hand between us and touched my stomach. “Haven’t I protected you up till now?” he thought about it. “When you let me?”

“Yes, but…”

“Anymore talking about Jared’s crazy ass and I swear I’m going to lay you over my knee,” then he smiled. “I’m not so sure I want you to stop though. I think we’d both enjoy your spanking,” I smiled.

“Is sex all you ever think about?” I asked leaning closer to him.

“No you’re all I think about. Please don’t freak out again. I’m not going to let you fall apart. I love you too much to let you fall apart. Now go take a nap,” I rolled my eyes.

“I’m sure that sleeping would just lead to nightmares,” I said wrapping my arms around him again.

“Fine then we’ll both take a nap,” he didn’t let me protest he just guided me over to the bed and made me lay down. He took his spot next to me after throwing his jacket onto the chair next to the bed. “Don’t worry so much.”

“When you go on tour…”

“I’ll have the same guys that protected you before come back until I get back. I have everything under control, as long as you promise not to ditch them again. We should be fine, and I was thinking about asking Robbie and Brian to keep an eye on you too. You guys need to spend more time together,” I smiled.

“Have I told you lately that I love you?” I said drowsily. I couldn’t believe that I was starting to fall asleep even though I wasn’t tired. At least I hadn’t been before I laid down next to him.

“Yes, but you can say it again,” he said with a smile.

“I love you.”

“Love you more,” he responded.
