Chapter Ten

JACOB

I was still reeling from the bullshit her mother had gone off about at our son’s party. It wasn’t her place to step into our relationship, but that part wasn’t what pissed me off. How dare she insinuate that I would ever lay a finger on Lydia? The very idea made me sick. The whole incident, her fucking someone else made me livid, but I could let it go. I couldn’t let the bruises go. I couldn’t let go of the fear she showed every time it was mentioned at the party. Everyone there seemed to buy her lie, but even when telling it, Lydia looked ready to vomit.

The party. It was beyond wonderful. Her family was loud and slightly insane, but loving and surprisingly welcoming, even her mother. Her grams was a hoot, talking about her granddaughters and their hot men. At least the old woman found me up to par with Ewan and Julian considering I was a bit older. Hell, I had nearly twenty years on Julian and a decade on Ewan. Not being one to have male friends, I actually liked both of them. Both were baseball fans and fiercely loyal to their own personal Reed sister. Once I got my ring on Lydia’s finger, we could go watch Julian play for the Smokey’s, the local minor league, or go out for beers. I had to make nice with the men in the family.

No one questioned where I had been, or why I was just then showing up, so that was a relief. Watching Lydia and Oliver dance was the highlight of my night. He smiled, laughing at his beautiful mother, dancing like a fool. And she watched our son like he hung the fucking moon. So did I. It was a reminder of her teaching me to dance in my apartment years ago. It had been the best part of our relationship. Holding her close and watching her get pissed when I purposely messed up. Oliver wasn’t getting gifts from me until his actual birthday. I had missed far too many of those to not do it up. So I went all out.

It was well after dark before we went back to their house with Jude in tow. They had some massive sleepover planned, but Lydia shut it down, insisting they could break in the new games the next day. The pair in the back groaned, but no one argued. I rolled into their driveway and parked behind her.

“Coming in?” She started to climb out but I took her hand, kissing the back.

“Yeah, of course.” I would go wherever she told me to. Hell, I never wanted her out of my sight again. It was sudden, but the thought of her and my son being in a different house made me uncomfortable. We should’ve been going home together and climbing into our bed. If things had happened differently …

Lydia instructed the boys to go to bed and disappeared into her room. I found the beer in the fridge and got two out, waiting on the couch.
