She continued to hold onto him, a little fearful about what letting go would mean, and then they were off on the road. Dinah tried to keep her eyes open and watch everything that was happening, but she still couldn’t help being a little fearful.
Road wasn’t slowing down, and she held onto him even tighter. It did feel good, the wind flowing through her hair, surrounding her. She couldn’t help but feel a little free as she let the motions take her.
Road was an expert on his machine, but she didn’t expect anything less from him. During the time they had gotten to know one another, she had come to see there were parts of his personality she understood. Whenever Road set out to do anything, he did it to the best of his ability, no questions asked. He excelled at everything he did, from cooking to riding a bike. She had no doubt all challenges would be met and conquered. He’d been determined to make her forget the pain of her first time, and he was insistent that every time they had sex, she experience an orgasm.
She knew these were just silly things that didn’t really matter. They were not necessary in living a life, but they were part of who Road was. She also came to realize that his past within the Golubev Bratva had fucked with his head, and so had the scars he’d gotten just by being part of it.
Road was a complex man. There was nothing simple about him. But she found herself being utterly charmed by him.
They arrived at the hospital. She wasn’t sure how long it had taken them, and she wasn’t about to start complaining.
He parked his bike, along with what felt like a sea of other bikes, and she looked around, amazed at the sheervolume of them. Anyone coming to the hospital might be a little intimidated by what they were seeing. Not her.
Dinah climbed off the bike, and it took every ounce of practice to not fall on her butt as her legs did feel a little wobbly. She was pretty sure she was still feeling the vibration of the bike traveling through her body.
Road climbed off and didn’t say a word as he grabbed her hand, and then they headed into the hospital. He didn’t ask for directions, just looked up at the signs, and they walked all the way to the maternity ward.
Dinah kept up with him, and they finally arrived to where she saw several other people waiting, as well as a crowd of men wearing the same leather jacket Road wore.
“Didn’t think you were going to make it.” The guy who came to her house along with Road that night, stood up.
“Wouldn’t miss it. What happened?” Road asked.
The man glanced toward her.
“Uh, Sarge, you remember Dinah. Dinah, this is Sarge.”
She reached out, shook his hand, and couldn’t help but wonder if she seemed a little … silly. Sarge shook her hand.
“I don’t know what happened. I know there was a bit of a panic, and then—”
“Faith collapsed. Not long after she did, her water broke.” Another guy approached, this one had ink on one side of his face.
“Nikolai, this is Dinah.”
He then started to point around the room, where he began to name people. Stan, Maxim, Tank, Krill, Hail, Vlad. There were so many, that all the names started to merge into one. It was going to take her some time to learn them all.
“It’s okay,” she said. “I’ll, uh, remember them eventually.”
“Shit, right, yeah, I didn’t even think of that. Fuck me. Has the doctor been out? Brute?”
“All we really know is she went into labor, and we’ve beensitting around waiting. That’s it.”
She wasn’t quite sure who said this, could have been Krill or another guy named Igor, but again, she didn’t know. What she did see, though, was a family, all here for a guy named Brute and a woman called Faith.
Dinah looked around at the group, and she couldn’t help but be charmed. This was a family, an odd one, but still a family.

Road knew the guys were curious about Dinah. She hadn’t changed out of her sweatpants and shirt, and her hair wasn’t put together. She looked a million miles from any of the club pussy, and he’d brought her with him.
They sat in the waiting room, and he didn’t like this. He’d not been around a lot of pregnant women to know that the longer it took in the emergency room, the more bad news they would hear. He wasn’t a big fan of Faith, and he’d been more than happy to trade the woman for Tank, one of their own.
There was no way he was going to turn his back on her either. Faith had given Brute a new lease on life, and it had made the other brother fight harder. Road saw it now, he understood it because he knew that’s what Dinah was making him do.
She continued to sit beside him, hold his hand, and just be there. There were no complaints about being bored or anything like that. Dinah was just happy to be with him.
He ran a hand down his face, and for the first time in awhile, he remembered his scars. Several nurses had passed through the room, and a couple of them had looked in his direction. Around Dinah, he’d forgotten all about the scars. Now, he was remembering them again.
