CHAPTER EIGHT

The days began to pass slowly as Vanessa occupied herself by working in her flower garden and playing the piano, trying to keep thoughts of Broken Feather out of her head. At night, Jason would take her into his arms and gently make love to her. It only distracted her mind slightly, as she got lost in his caresses, but when it was over with, she realized she craved Broken Feather’s caresses, no matter how kind Jason was to her.

She received a letter from her father, asking how she was and wanting to know what had happened between her and Broken Feather, because he refused to talk about her. She didn’t bother to answer the letter.

Vanessa sometimes spent hours playing the piano when Jason was out working on the ranch, just to fill her emptiness with music. Her small plants were coming up, showing promise, and she was looking forward to when all her flowers would be in bloom. Somehow she managed to get over most of the pain at losing Broken Feather, and tried to turn her attention towards Jason because he was trying so hard to please her.

One morning she awoke with a start, and sat up in bed. Jason had already left the house, having to rise early to start working the ranch. It suddenly dawned on her that she hadn’t bled for a very long time, and she tried to remember the last time she had her course. It was just before she had come out to Texas, she remembered, which was a sure sign she had conceived. She sat shivering in the bed, wondering if she should tell Jason or not.

She couldn’t tell him until she was certain, she decided. Besides, if she told him, he would start hovering over her, and may decide to stop making love to her the way she had requested earlier. She knew she would miss his touch, if that was the case, and there was plenty of time before she would know for sure, she decided.

She had fallen into a comfortable routine with Jason. He had grown gentle with her, and often confessed that he loved her, only she refused to admit her feelings one way or another to him. She kept hoping that Broken Feather would miss her so much he would decide to return to the ranch, but so far, that hadn’t happened. He had been right, though, she thought. She couldn’t have her cake and eat it too.

Vanessa was growing fond of Jason, and didn’t want to hurt him. Thinking she was carrying his child caused a bond to grow tighter between them, and if Broken Feather returned, it would just confuse her all the more. Maybe Broken Feather had been right. Maybe it was better this way. Now she would soon have a child to care for, and it would need a mother and a father. She would have to put Broken Feather behind her for good, and get on with her life.
