“Hey there Pey! To what do I owe this phone call?”

“Oh you know I just wanted to talk with my big sister, how’s everything going at home?”

I hear her sigh into the phone, “It’s fine. You know what I’ve dealt with, those club whore bitches don’t let me do anything without trying to tell me Toby is fucking them. It’s gotten so much worse now that they’ve got some new girls here. Plus he still has his nasty ass receptionist also doing that as well. Telling me she has to cut out footage at the shop because Toby is so downright dirty with her. That you know he feels more alive than he is when he’s with me. That he never got to experience anyone else you know blah blah blah. All that stupid shit that I know isn’t true because Toby has never even had a wandering eye, but it’s just so rough being constantly attacked by disgusting women wherever you go.”

“Have you told any of the brothers about what’s going on? Or even mama? Maybe she can talk to dad about it.”

“I’ve mentioned it to Toby, mentioned it to dad, mentioned it to mama. Nothing. I swear the brothers apparently care more about the free pussy they can share rather than the ol’ ladies like they are supposed to. Apparently everything was brought to the table. The brothers voted and they gave them talking to's and made them do more bathroom cleaning. I mean glad to see that’s what I’m worth to all these men that I’ve seen as my family my entire life. Toby has said he wishes there is more he can do, but until he’s on the council there isn’t anything he can do. It is horrible because my father is president, but he seems to not want to disrupt any balance to have my back, then you’ve got all these men I’ve seen as uncles and they are cool with these women talking to me like that because they are ‘new’ and don’t understand the way our club works. Like you can’t take five minutes out of your day to explain rules and make sure they are followed.”

“That’s fucked up Soph, I’m sorry. After being an ol’ lady for all these years, being a wife and a daughter of a club member you shouldn’t have to deal with that and they really should do more. I mean here they let the women be club members and the ol’ ladies here are never disrespected by the club girls. They are literally told when they come in new that if you say anything to the ol’ ladies you are out and if you go after a taken brother who is not asking for anything then you are kicked out. They don’t put up with shit. I think that might have a lot to do with Uncle Garrett and Uncle Gavin’s mama though. How she turned out to be someone they didn’t realize she was. So they don’t put up with the lying bitches that Chaos does. I don’t know why dad hasn’t had enough of it especially when it’s you they are targeting.”

“Yeah the more I’ve learned about the Untamed Rebels and how they treat their ol’ ladies and how they are involved in things has really made me wish we had that here too. I think dad just doesn’t want to piss off the other brothers. Which really, I’m sorry shouldn’t matter. You’ve got bitches that think they run the club and the brothers that’s dangerous. Anyway, how are things going with Knox?”

“Great! We’ve talked about getting our own home on the compound, but we want to wait til I’m at least done with undergrad before we decide to move forward with designing a house. He made me his ol’ lady a little while ago.”

She started shrieking with excitement at that then paused. “Wait, how come no one else has told me this? Like why didn’t Park say anything? Or even mama and dad?”

“Um, well I haven’t told mama or dad and Parker is still barely speaking to me, so she wouldn’t know. It’s been really hard, but I can’t change what I did. Not that I’d want to. I wanted to explore who I was without all the other siblings everywhere.”

“Oh Peyton, that is horrible. I can’t even imagine, you and Parker have always been so close. I don’t understand a lot about her feelings about you leaving. Everyone else is so happy for you and understands why you wanted to have a fresh start there. It definitely wasn’t all about Whip. Sometimes you just have to spread your wings to find out who you truly are.”

“Yeah well, she apparently doesn’t see it that way. I mean shit Soph, she said a lot of fucked up shit to me before she left here. Still haven’t recovered from it. Knowing that the sister you shared a womb with thinks those horrible things about you is hard. Saying that I’m easy and all that shit. It’s horrible and I mean if she asked me to forgive her tomorrow I would, but I’d still have scars from all the venom she spewed at me.”

“You know she doesn’t really think anything horrible about you. Something is going on more than just you leaving. She’s been moodier and snippy. I don’t know, I honestly think Doc pissed her off while you guys were there. I mean I can’t believe dad sent the two guys that the two of you have been crushing on for your entire lives with you. That just seems messy.”

“Yeah, well my crush was crushed while I was here. Hope that isn’t what happened with Parker, but she didn’t tell me anything when we were here. I don’t know. We also didn’t spend a lot of time together while she was here. She got comfortable with the cousins, I got comfortable with the cousins and Knox. But um, there is something else I wanted to talk to you about. I have an appointment to head to the doctor here shortly.”

“Is everything okay Peyton?”

“Well I think I may be pregnant. Like months pregnant.”

“How do you not know if you are months pregnant, Peyton? I mean I know your cycle and everything has always been wacky, but I’m sure there have been other signs.”

“I mean yeah I’ve felt off, been really tired, my boobs feel ridiculous and I’ve been nauseous, but I’ve been attributing that to stress. I guess also denial. I don’t know Sophie.”

“Have you talked to Knox about it?”

“Well not really, he knows how I’ve been feeling, but I really haven’t said anything about thinking I was pregnant.”

“You need to talk to him, Pey. He should be at that doctor's appointment with you. I mean you guys are young, but at least you’re in your 20s and not teenagers. Plus if you’re worried about how anyone here is going to react, don’t. I got pregnant at 17 and Luca got a girl pregnant at 15. You are like a gold star story compared to your older siblings over here. Levi got a girl pregnant, married her and has been a complete dick to her ever since. Knox isn’t going to be like that either from everything you’ve told me.”

“Ugh, I know you’re right. I just don’t want him to feel like I trapped him.”

“Pey, you just told me he made you his ol’ lady. He’s already locked in.”

“I guess you’re right.”

“Well I’ve got to go, I just saw Luca heading up the walkway and I don’t think you want him to know what’s going on yet. But I love you and just keep me updated. I expect a text later today to tell me what’s going on and I’ll act all surprised when you tell everyone else. They won’t even know we had this conversation.”

I chuckle at that, “I know you will. I swear you should’ve been an actress. It’s scary. I love you too and I’ll let you know what’s going on after I get back.”

With that we hang up the phone and I stare at mine like it’s going to bite me before I pull up the text chain I need.

Me: hey, um do you have any appointments this afternoon?

Knox: No nothing, just working on some engines. What’s going on?

Me: I have a doctors appointment and think you probably would want to go with me. Plus I kind of need to talk to you before that.
