“Well he said that there can’t be any one from outside of the club there tonight or maybe for the next couple of nights. Some shit is going down.”

“Bummer. But mysterious. The elusive club business. You two need to become ol’ ladies so you can clue me in on all the good stuff.”

“You do know that if either of us became ol’ ladies we wouldn’t be able to share any type of club business outside of the club right? Even if the man we were with told us anything. Besides, I think you are jumping the gun.” I say.

Which she really is. I may have had this whole thing going on with Rage for over a year now, but he has really never mentioned the ol’ lady situation. After that night months ago where he showed up here and basically used me to bury what was bothering him, which I know wasn’t all about Missy, he left without a word and then didn’t mention it again. He didn’t mention that I felt us connect in a way that we never had before. It felt like for the first time he was being vulnerable with me. He was letting his guard down and then it was like he realized what he did and shut himself back off from everything that had happened.

“Text Peyton, see if she is in the know.” Abby says.

“Fine.” I sigh and pull out my phone.

Me: Hey Pey, heard some shit is going down at the clubhouse. Is everything okay?

I don’t have to wait long before I get a reply back.

Peyton: Can’t really tell you much. The Untamed Rebels mother chapter is here, DCMC the Devil’s Hollow chapter are here, Ironcross and Burnt Mills chapters and so is the Devil’s Gate chapter. From what I have been told they are moving on Acid tonight and hopefully bringing my niece and nephew home.

“OH! Oh shit!”

“What? What is going on?” Abby and Brynley say.

“I guess they are making moves tonight because they have word about where the twins are. A bunch of other chapters and clubs are helping so they have a shitload of crazy there. Also reading the names of these cities that these two other clubs are from are fucking crazy. Like I knew Devil’s Hollow, North Carolina was a thing, but Devil’s Gate where the hell is that? The names of those two cities for those chapters seem very fitting for these men.”

“So what you are saying is there are a bunch more good looking biker men in town and we have to stay away?” Brynley says.

“You know I love that is what you focus on instead of the fact that a mother is possibly getting her babies back tonight.” Abby says.

Me: How’s Sophie handling all this?

Peyton: I haven’t heard anything from her. Toby said she was sleeping when he left their house. Which I thought was a good thing that he was back there at least for the night. Hoping he alpha males himself into staying there without her being okay with it.

Me: Keep me posted. I know you will probably be busy with all the family shit, but keep us all posted! We love you!

“Alright let’s stay in tonight and we can plan out all this stuff. Also figure out some sort of care packages for Sophie and her family now that the twins are likely coming home and we don’t know all the trauma they are possibly dealing with.”

Four Months Later

PREGNANT.

That is the word that I am staring at on the five pregnancy test I have taken in the last hour. There is absolutely no way. I’m on the pill. I mean sure we’ve been doing this whole fucking situationship or whatever you want to call it now for over a year. Sure the amount of times has dwindled and I feel like that would be my karma because he’s pulled away, now I’m sitting here knocked up. Not just knocked up, but knocked up by an emotionally constipated man that I fucking love despite the fact that he is fucking emotionally constipated. I’m the dumbest woman alive. But there is no way in hell I am going to be like Liza. His ass is going to know early and not just when he decides he wants to fuck me again.

I’m not going to sit around and wait for him to decide that he is looking to meet up with me. I need to go figure out what we are going to do now. I am going to have to confront him about what he wants to do. The man does not seem to be all that concerned about possible pregnancy with me since he never fucking wraps his dick. I guess that is also irresponsible on my part. I’m not an idiot, but right now I sure feel like one.

Before I get the courage to stand up and head out of the room the door slams open.

“Rose, guess—-” Abby starts to say and then abruptly stops when she sees what is sitting on the counter of my bathroom.

“Um, I’m sorry, do you have any boundaries?” I ask.

“Well, I didn’t think it would be a big deal since you know, we have peed in front of each other before. Hell, we’ve done that while one of us was showering. We don’t have boundaries. We are like soulmates. But apparently you’ve been keeping a very big secret from me. What the fuck is this?” Abby is practically yelling by the end of that statement.

“Can you keep it down? I don’t need the other girls to come in here!”

“They aren’t here! That is what I was coming to tell you! The contractor called and they finished up your house. It is amazing what the hell your daddy’s money can fucking do. Now the girls headed out to get paint supplies and all that shit to start painting to your specifications. So your house, your guest house and your barn is done. They will be starting on the business shit soon. But back to the matter at hand. What the fuck? How are you pregnant?!!?”
