Chapter Seven

The next few weeks flew by as Brady settled into a routine of helping JJ and assisting the guys with the chores wherever possible. His brother, Mitch and one of his partners, Paul the vet, came over a few times to lend a hand and Brady was grateful. But it irked him that his legs were taking so long to get back to how he knew they should be. He could walk but his legs were stiff and a bit painful.

JJ’s abdomen was getting bigger and with regular checkups the doctor said the baby was growing nicely. JJ looked absolutely ravishing. Her cheeks were pink and full and she ate like a horse. She’d put on pounds, and she really looked quite lovely with the added weight.

He was an emotional wreck. Torn between wondering how their little baby would look to praying the kid was healthy to what in the world had he been thinking getting JJ pregnant?

To top it off, he was still nervous when he watched JJ take off in the float plane which she’d been doing every morning after breakfast. It was her “morning walk” she said. Flying made her feel free and she loved practicing her takeoffs and landing on the water. Every time she left his sight in that white plane, an inner nervousness took hold and it vanished the instant she came home an hour or so later.

This morning she hadn’t gone out because she’d readied up the house. This afternoon their new helper, whom they had hired on a temporary basis through Cowboys Online, would be flying in with a pilot from North Country Air.

Jenna had called last week and confirmed that Milena Allen, JJ’s old cell-mate qualified for a temporary two-week leave from the penitentiary. But she would have to return there once her work assignment here was complete. Once Jenna could find a permanent assignment for Milena then she would get parole just like JJ had.

Brady still wasn’t sure he liked the idea of having an inexperienced woman look after the ranch while they were away, but JJ had insisted Milena was reliable. He just wished he could have as much confidence in this stranger as she did. The two women had been conversing through email and phone calls getting to know one another again. JJ had also brought her up to speed as to what was required while they were away building the cabin.

Dan and Rafe had been out all day haying and were expected back tonight for supper. The hired lady hadn’t even come yet and he already couldn’t wait to get away with JJ and the guys. Although they would be roughing it by living in a tent until the floor and roof were on the building, the trip was kind of a vacation away from the normal everyday running of things.

As he stood on the back steps of the mudroom Brady tensed when he heard the distinct drone of a far off airplane engine. At that moment, JJ came rushing out the back door and stepped carefully down the steps.
