back where all the livestock were. She kissed him and wished him good luck, then found her way to her seat.
His friends teased him about where he’d spent the night but were thrown for a loop when he told them he spent the night with his wife. They were all shocked to hear that Heath had indeed tied the knot in a little chapel in Vegas. They all congratulated him and slapped him on the back. The announcer went through his normal routine only this time he made the announcement, that congratulation’s were in order for Mr. and Mrs. Heath Jenkins. The camera found Josey once more and she stood up and gave a little wave. Then the camera found Heath and he smiled.
It was the same as the night before, after that. Everyone concentrated on the rodeo. They applauded when someone rode, they gasped when someone got hurt and clapped when they walked away. Little girls got excited when the barrel racers came out. Little boys got excited over the bull riding. The parents enjoyed watching the excitement too, but not as much as they enjoyed watching, their little ones get excited.
Josey was again on pins, and needles, when Heath’s name was called in the bull-riding event. She rubbed her leg with the palm of her hand and sat on the edge of her seat. She stood up and gripped the rail once more, ticking off the seconds in her head. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, she heard the buzzing sound and held her breath as Heath jumped off the bull. He ran to the nearest railing for safety while the guys on horseback herded the bull out of the arena. Heath kneeled down and thanked God for his ride, waved his hat in the air then crossed the arena to the rail where Josey stood. He climbed up and kissed her again. He knew he had just won big. He was full of excitement and didn’t care who knew it.
Josey ran to meet him behind the chutes. He was doing an interview, and she waited. Once again the reporter, wanted to talk about his love life. “So, Heath, I guess congratulations are truly in order. You’ve just won big and you’re celebrating your marriage to one of barrel racings greatest. What have you got to say for yourself? I hope you know you just broke a lot of ladies, hearts.” Heath laughed, then he pulled Josey in front of the camera with him. “Well, all I know is I’m one lucky son of a gun.” He wrapped his arm around Josey’s waist and the reporter laughed at his joke before cutting. She congratulated them and Heath made his way to the winners circle with Josey in tow.
The winners circle contained the winners and their whole families. Some of them, holding their kids while others, stood by themselves. Josey stood beside Heath as he accepted his buckle and his check. The awards ceremony wound up being a lot of handshakes and smiles. Pictures were taken so many times, Josey was sure she would go blind from all the flashing.
When it was all over and done with, Heath took Josey back to the hotel and made sweet, sweet love to her. They stayed in their room for two days without coming out. When they got hungry, they ordered room service.
Chapter Sixteen
A year had passed since, Heath and Josey said their I do’s. They were now expecting a baby girl. Josey rubbed her back once more. She had been having back pain all day and she could not get comfortable. Her big protruding belly kept her from lying on her stomach, and nothing seemed to help. Heath was hard at work on the ranch running things and J.W and Hilary had finally taken a vacation even if it was only to see Hilary’s crazy family.
Josey was not due for two more weeks and everyone promised to be back for the delivery. She was working on the nursery
