Chapter Ten – Jed

“Arriving for work together,” Dylan observed.

“Your point being?” Jed asked with a raised eyebrow. “Amanda might have simply given me a lift.”

“But the look on your face says you claimed your mate.” Dylan sat at his desk, working at his computer. Jed had come in to see what his work orders were for the day, while Amanda was in the outer office checking messages. He looked out to where she was standing with the phone to her ear, and her eyes on him. She would know they were talking about her.

“Is he giving you a hard time?” Steph, Dylan’s wife, asked Jed as she entered the office. Jed had met Steph when they were younger; he couldn’t remember whether she was on the list of people whose lunch money he had stolen or not. He hoped it was not.

“Not really,” Jed said.

“Don’t worry.” Steph went over to Dylan and nudged him in the ribs. “You can tell him to mind his own business if you want to.”

“I’m only interested in the health and well-being of my employees,” Dylan said in his own defense.

“Nosy, that’s what I’d call it.” Steph rubbed her back. Her belly was swollen with the baby she was carrying, but she looked happy. “Are you going to show me this house or not?”

“You’re coming with us today?” Jed asked surprised.

“Yes. I have a day off from the B&B; my mom and Paul can handle things.” She rubbed her stomach. “Although the number of days off I have left is numbered. Once this little cub is born, we are going to have our hands full.” She looked at Dylan, and he pulled her close.

“We’ll manage, together. How hard can it be?” Dylan asked and kissed Steph.

“I’ll go load the truck,” Jed said, feeling a little uncomfortable when Dylan kissed Steph.

Quickly leaving the office, he went out to where Amanda was sorting through the mail, and a twinge of unease spread through him. How were they going to manage? Financially, he was a million miles away from being the provider. That was the male’s job, to provide for his female and his cubs. He had seen only too well what happened when things went wrong and there was no male provider. The idea that they would be so poor his kids might turn to theft was almost too much. But if he stopped supporting his siblings through college, they would be forced to abandon their own dreams.

“What’s wrong?” Amanda asked, picking up on his mood.

“Nothing,” he said, emphasizing it with a shake of his head.

“That face says differently.” She put the letters down and came around her desk to him. “Tell me.”

“It’s stupid.”

“Tell me anyway.” She put her arms around his neck and pressed her body to him. “Please.”

“I see Dylan and Steph. They both have businesses; hell, Dylan is a millionaire. He went away for years and came back rich, I went away for years and came back broke.”

“Money isn’t everything,” Amanda said. “There are some things that are necessities in life, but a load of money is not it.
