“Darlin’ you need to tell me, now.” He was raising his voice; he only did that when he was pissed or scared. I knew it to be the latter.

“I’m pregnant or well I was. I was waiting to tell Tank first when I saw him but well, that’s not going to happen.”

“Oh no. Okay. We got this. Let’s get you to the hospital.” And my father turned into a pillar of support instantly.

He picked me up and grabbed my blanket and wrapped it around me then carried me out to his truck and put me in the passenger side.

“Do you want me to call anyone?” He asked after he started the truck up and peeled out of my driveway.

“No. No one else knows. I didn’t want anyone to know until I told him.” The pain was unbearable.

His eyes softened and then he nodded, “Okay, Cookie.”

Dad had his foot on the gas pedal the whole way to Carolina Regional.

What should’ve been a twenty-minute ride ended up being eleven minutes.

Thankfully we didn’t see any cops on the way.

When we got to the hospital, dad parked in front of the emergency doors and ran inside to get some help.

While he was gone, I started fading in and out of consciousness.

I barely noticed the door being open, nor did I notice being lifted and placed on a gurney. The questions then started but only one of them registered to me.

That was when I felt a warm soft hand on my face, “Honey, my name is Doctor Taylor. Can you tell me what’s going on?”

“Yes, I’m seventeen weeks pregnant. I woke up to sharp pains and a lot of blood” I didn’t even realize that my voice had slurred.

And then just like that, I was out.

Storm

I can’t remember a time I’ve been this scared.

When I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing, I had been pissed the fuck off.

I haven’t been sleeping that well because I was worried about the club and the fact that Tank had to leave when he promised my daughter he wasn’t going anywhere ever again. And I was worrying about Raine.

So, when I saw who was calling me through bleary eyes, I answered it with a small smile on my face.

However, that smile dropped when she told me she needed me, and I could hear the fear in her voice. My spine had shot ramrod straight.

I hadn’t hesitated on getting to her.

I knew that I broke so many laws on my way.

My mind had been preparing me for something bad. And my hand itched to have my gun at the ready and decimate anything that sought to do her harm.

But nothing could have prepared me for what I saw when I got to their bedroom.

And then I broke even more laws on our way to the hospital.

Did I give a fuck?

No. No, I sure as hell didn’t.

When I heard the words, miscarriage probably and then I heard, she’s too far along, she will have to go through with delivery, my whole world titled on its axis.
