Where I Belong Chapter 3
After the guests had on gone home and the cleanup had been completed Jared and Natalie went inside the mansion. They were going to stay there while Clint and Nora were on their honeymoon trip. Jared sat on the couch with his arms wrapped around Natalie.
"You did a great job at the wedding babe"
"Thanks. I'm glad that my dad is finally happy"
"Did your uncle Bo seem a little out of sorts to you?"
"Hmmm, I didn't really notice I was to busy giving speeches. What do you mean out of sorts?"
"Well he just sat at the tables, kept to himself and he really only spoke to Matthew"
"Well Uncle Bo and Nora were married at one point."
"Yeah I know. Do you think he still has feelings for her?"
"When was the last time you saw Bo!?"
"Before the cake was cut, after that I didn't see him anymore"
"Oh god!"
"What"
"You don't think he'd interrupt dad and Nora's trip you do?"
"I don't know. Maybe you should call him"
"Good idea"
Natalie picked up the phone and dialed Bo's number"
"You've reached Commissioner Bo Buchanan. I'm unavailable right now please leave a message"
"Oh god" she sighed.
"He is NEVER out of reach...wait!" Natalie slammed the phone down and walked rather quickly out to the stables with Jared following her.
They stopped at the doors of the stables and saw Bo sitting on a hay bail with a bottle of bourbon.
"Why don't you go inside Jared, I'll go talk to him" Natalie whispered. Jared kissed her neck and went inside.
Natalie slowly walked into the stables and sat next to Bo.
"Uncle Bo. Are you alright?"
Bo took another swig of bourbon instead of answering Natalie.
"Uncle Bo please! Talk to me"
Natalie sat next to him and placed her hand on his shoulder.
"Is this about Nora?"
After a limo ride, plane ride and another limo ride, Clint and Nora were finally at their honeymoon destination -Asa's Texas ranch.
Clint and Nora walked up the driveway and before Nora opened the door Clint picked her up.
"Clint! What are you doing?" she laughed.
"I'm taking my beautiful bride over the threshold" he grinned opening the door.
As the driver brought the bags in Clint carried Nora upstairs and laid her on the bed. He began kissing her passionately when she slid her finger in between their lips.
"Not yet" she whispered.
Nora walked into the bathroom and locked the door removing her clothing to reveal a pink negligee. She then unlocked the door and stood sexily in front of it.
"Wow!"
"You like?" she seductively smiled.
Nora walked slowly towards the bed and draped herself over Clint slowly undoing the buttons on his shirt as they kissed.
"Ok Bree's all tucked in Jess"
"Thanks for putting her down Nash. I'm spent from that wedding"
"Your dad and Nora make a beautiful couple"
"They do don't they"
"There is only one bride I've seen that was more beautiful then Nora and that was you"
"Nash I was laying in a hospital bed with flowers on my head"
"And you still looked as beautiful has you do now"
Nash drew Jessica into a kiss and dimmed the lights as they made love.
"This is not about Nora Natalie"
"Really, Jared noticed that you were a little off during the wedding"
"Your Jar headed boyfriend knows nothing" Bo snarled.
After a few minutes of silence Bo finally gave in.
"Nora and I were married at one time and it hurts to think that she's forgotten it"
"What makes you think she's forgotten it?"
"Her vow's she said that she was so happy to be Mrs. Buchanan again"
"Uncle Bo from what I've heard you were a serious jackass towards her and now all of a sudden since she's happy with my dad you want her back?"
Bo went dead silent and couldn't look Natalie in the eye.
"My god! you do want her back. Well let me tell you this as your niece who loves you. If you try and screw with my father and Nora's happiness you will regret it make no mistake"
Natalie took Bo's bourbon and began to walk away. When she got to the door she turned around.
"You're welcome to stay here for the night by the way just come in when you're ready"
Natalie walked back into the house and slammed the door behind her.
"Things not go well Sparky?"
"Shut up Jared!"
Clint had suggested that he and Nora take the horseback ride they were suppose to take the night of their first kiss but never did.
"Ok ok I can do this" Nora said taking a deep breath in.
Clint laughed at Nora as she got up on the horse.
"Shut up Clint!"
Clint got on the horse after her and held her body close to his so she wouldn't be afraid.
"Clint what if this thing bucks!"
"Relax sweetheart it won't. If you want to get off just tell me and I'll stop the horse ok"
"Ok"
Clint and Nora slowly rode around the Buchanan property and Nora was doing better then Clint had expected her to.
"Ok you wanna put the horse back in the barn?"
"Huh huh...Yes yes yes" Nora gasped.
"Alright"
Jessica laid curled up in Nash's arms after making love to him. She felt so content about her life right now. She had a beautiful daughter and a wonderful husband, it was more then she ever wanted.
"What do you say tomorrow you me and Bree going down to the lake for a picnic and swimming?" Nash suggested.
"I'd like that. Then maybe afterwards we can get Natalie to watch Bree and we can have a nice romantic dinner"
"Oh that sounds like fun"
Nash looked down at Jessica who had fallen asleep on his chest. He kissed her forehead and went to sleep himself.
"What did Bo say to you Natalie?"
"In a nutshell. He wants Nora back"
"You're kidding me?!"
"I wish I were. I swear if he tries to do anything to ruin my dad's happiness UGH!"
Natalie was so frustrated that she punched the coffee table breaking a small portion of it.
"Whoa! Calm down Nat"
"Do NOT tell me to calm down Jared"
All of a sudden Bo walked in with his hands in his pockets.
"For once Banks is right Nat. You need you calm down"
"Uncle Bo you can have the guest room upstairs" she sneered before walking away.
When Natalie was out of the room Jared began to tear into Bo.
"What the hell is your problem Bo?!"
"Excuse me"
"You heard me! You had your shot with Nora and know that your brother has her you want her! God you're like a kid with a toy. Nora is NOT a toy she's a human being and-"
"You have no idea what you're talking about and it's none of your business anyway!" Bo yelled cutting off Jared.
"You know normally I wouldn't care about your stupid mind games but what you're doing is affecting Natalie so I'm making it my business!"
Bo walked up to Jared and slugged him right in the jaw.
"Stay out of it" he snarled before walking away.
The next day Nora awoke in bed all alone with a breakfast tray at her feet. She crawled down to the edge of the bed and picked up the note that was on the breakfast tray.
"Morning sweetheart, I've gone into town to grab some stuff for something I have planned later today. I love you.
Clint"
Nora sighed to herself and decided to take a shower before Clint returned.
"Nora!" Clint yelled as he walked into the ranch. When he didn't get a response he walked upstairs and heard the water running in the shower.
"Nora" he said opening the bathroom door.
"Clint!" she smiled peeking her head out from the shower.
"Are you gonna take a shower?" she asked
"That's my plan"
"Do you wanna save some water?" she smiled suggest fully.
"I'd love to save some water"
Clint joined her in the shower and they began passionately kissing as the water pelted down on them.

Where I Belong: Chapter 4
Jessica tied her hair up in a ponytail and put her shorts and tank top on. Today she, Nash and Bree were going for their picnic and swimming. Jessica packed the basket and Nash was getting the car started up.
"Come on sweetie" Jessica smiled taking Bree's hand.
Nash pulled the car around as Jessica and Bree came out of Llanfair.
"You girls ready?"
"Of course Nash"
Jessica fastened Bree in then hopped in the front seat with Nash.
"Off to the Lake we go Whooooo!" Nash laughed.
Jessica turned around to look at Bree.
"Your daddy is so goofy sometimes" she chuckled then turned to Nash.
"But that's why I love him" she softly said giving him a kiss.
Natalie walked out of the kitchen with a cup of coffee and sat on the couch.
"Morning Natalie" Bo softly said standing in the door way.
Natalie looked at him as he walked over to the sofa and sat next to her.
"About last night sweetie, I was drunk as a skunk and didn't know what I was saying."
Natalie put her coffee on the table and looked Bo straight in the eyes.
"Can you honestly tell me you are happy for my father and Nora and that you don't want Nora back?"
"I am happy for your father and Nora and I don't want Nora back"
"Thank you" she sighed giving him a hug.
Bo knew he had just told a big whopper both to himself and to Natalie. He really did want Nora back and it took Clint having her to make him realize that.
Clint guided Nora out onto the patio covering her eyes.
"What is this big surprise Clint?"
Clint uncovered her eyes and she saw a table for two with cards and some wine.
"You're teaching me poker?" she laughed.
"Good ol' Texas holdem'" he grinned.
Nora and Clint took their respective seats and Clint began shuffling the deck.
Jessica spread out the picnic blanket as Nash took off his shirt and jumped in the lake.
"You coming in Jess?"
"Yep"
Jessica put Bree's water wings on and guided her into the water.
"Come to daddy Bree" Nash grinned taking her hands.
"Jessica wrapped her arms around Bree's waist to keep her afloat.
Nash dove under the water and began tickling Jess' feet.
"Nash!" she laughed pulling him out of the water.
"HA! Straight! I win again" Nora grinned.
"Geeze, how did you get so good at this game?"
"A girl never reveals her secrets" Nora grinned.
"I've got ways of making you talk"
Clint walked over to Nora and began kissing her neck.
"I don't break easy cowboy"
"Apparently"
