Chapter Twelve

㊋ Jaxon ㊋

After receiving the envelope we all decided that I will deal with it before going to the burned-out paddock. It will be on my mind the whole time until I have dealt with it. Bentley has been my support through all of this. She hasn’t left my side except when she got Taylor ready to go with Logan. She promised him that as soon as we were done she would take him to see all the butterflies and he was happy with that.

So here we are, sitting on the couch with the envelope on the coffee table in front of us. I haven’t made a move to open it and Bentley hasn’t pushed me to open it either. She has been rubbing my back supportively the whole time.

“What if I don’t like what’s in it? What if someone can take my son away from me? I don’t care about anything except that they can take him away from me.”

“Babe, no one is taking that little boy away from you. I will help you fight for him if it ever gets to that. You need closure and something tells me it’s in that envelope.” She comforts me and I pull her towards me for a quick kiss. As we break apart I lean forward and take the envelope. I open it and pull out the contents. There’s a file with Taylor’s name on it. As I go through it I find a few hospital documents, but nothing that I haven’t seen before. This is the same file Sasha handed over to me when I took custody of Taylor. The next item is a photo album. I place it aside as I want to go through it when I am in a better mood than I am right now. The last item is a letter. I glance at Bentley and she nods for me to continue.

I open the letter and hold it between us so she can read it with me. I want her a part of this. She is my future even though we haven’t been seeing each other for that long, I know I want everything with her and my son. Hopefully some more kids later as well.

Dearest Jaxon.

I have no idea where to start. I guess it will be with how sorry I am. You don’t deserve what I did to you. At the time I thought it was what was best for me and little Taylor but as time went on I realized that I made a mistake. The only thing is that I couldn’t come to you, so much time had passed and I didn’t know how to explain my actions to you.

That is why I am writing this letter, you have to understand that I didn’t do it to hurt you even though I know that I did. I know you would have been broken when I left. I did love you, I just didn’t want the life you wanted. I didn't want that for our baby and if I stayed I would have resented you.
