She kneels down and places one hand on Axels, and I instantly feel pissed at my brother.
Don't kill my friend; don't kill my brother; don't kill my president. I chant in my head over and over.
Fuck, I want to kill him.
He shoots his head up, and she gives him a gentle smile, and the killing chants start again. Fuck sake!
Dead Shot and Cammy enter as she starts to speak in a gentle voice, "Dr. Thomas asked me to come and get you. Annalise is back from her scans, and it's determined she has no internal bleeding. She's still unconscious, but you can sit with her, but only you, unfortunately, for now."
A few tears fall from his eyes, and he nods his head. She gives him another gentle smile and squeezes his hand before standing up while I swallow a growl, making Axel side-eye me with a raised brow, and I clear my throat. Just as he stands to follow Melanie, Cammy oversteps a fucking gain, and I can feel the tick in my jaw; I'm that pissed.
"I'm her mother; I'll be going in first. Axel can see her once I have. I need to see my baby; I need to make sure she's okay."
Dead Shots' eyes widen, shocked at his wife's audacity, and I growl while Axel sighs, dropping his chin to his chest and shaking his head, knowing he's going to have to have that fight because, like hell, would he let her in to see his woman first. I understand she's a mother figure to Annalise, but Axel is her man; he's getting ready to propose, and they've just lost their baby. Cammy is overstepping again.
Axel's eyes widen when Melanie steps in front of him and crosses her arms over her chest, anger flashing in her eyes. At the same time, she raises a brow at Cammy.
"Are you her next of kin?"
Cammy's eyes widen, and she gets in Melanie's face.
Rage takes over my body, and I go to take a step between them, but Axel grabs my arm, stopping me from intervening. I go to snap at him, but he looks at me with pride, and I look back to see the scene in front of me.
Melanie hasn't deterred or backed down; she's taking on the bulldog.
"On her medical records, it states that Logan Ramirez is her next of kin, then Rosie Lawrence, and that her paternal mother is deceased. And I'm guessing you are not in your 80's, nor are you male, and you haven't risen from the dead, so you will not be going in to see her first. Dr. Thomas has requested that Axel, who I am guessing is Logan Ramirez, go in first, and for however long he feels comfortable. They've just lost their baby, so I'm sorry, but you do not come first in this situation. Annalise and Axel do."
Cammy's nose flares while the brothers smirk, liking her sass and spunk, especially Stormy and Ink, who keep looking towards me with wide grins, and I give them a subtle middle finger, making them snort. The woman's taken on the bulldog; she has some brass balls and has gained the brothers' respect.
"How dare you speak to me like this! I'm going to report you to your supervisor."
I go to take a step towards them again, not liking Cammy's fucking attitude. Still, Axel's grip on my arm tightens, and he shakes his head before nodding it towards Melanie again, who has a smirk on her face, and I grin at her next words.
"Go right ahead. Her office is on the 3rd floor, door 476. Her name is Mary Sanders. Please ensure you have proof of paternity or kinship before you waste her time. Then she looks at Axel and says, "Let me take you to your woman."
Her eyes are gentle, and he nods, ignoring his momma while his dad smirks. I grin wider when she side-eyes me, causing her to blush. At the same time, Axel raises a brow at me, giving me a subtle half-smile before following her out of the dull white waiting area.
Once they leave, Dead Shot turns to his wife with a scowl, his smirk well and truly gone. "If you go anywhere near that office, then I'll be staying in the clubhouse until the foreseeable future. How fucking dare you try and push our son, who has just found his woman beaten and bloody, seeing that she's lost their baby aside like that. I have never been more disappointed in you today than I ever have."
Cammy's eyes widen as he turns towards Flame, who has a sobbing Star in his arms. She and Annalise have been close for a few years; she's been teaching her how to cook, and their friendship has grown. She's struggling just as much as Axel.
Cammy looks at me, and I scowl at her, shaking my head in disappointment before taking a seat, waiting for Axel to return as she storms off, her face red with anger and embarrassment. Not even five minutes later, Stormy sits next to me, but I don't look at him. I stay in my relaxed position, my back leaning against the chair with my legs stretched out, and my arms crossed over my chest when I feel anything but calm.
"What did Cammy say to piss you off this badly? You've always looked up to her."
I snort; of course, he's here for them, "called my momma a whore." I look at him with a raised brow and say, "And we both know that's bullshit, don't we, Stormy?"
He flinches at me, calling him his road name. He does every time, but I guess he can thank his wife for that. I look forward again, hoping he'd fuck off, but he doesn't.
"Son, when are you going to get over this whole woe-is-me act you've got going on? Was I hard on you growing up? Fuck yes, I was, but you made Leslie's life hell, and she didn't deserve it, son. I mean, hell, she took you in when you were only a newborn; she's raised you as her own."
I just laugh, causing a few brothers to look our way with furrowed brows, and I lean toward him, get in his face, and say, "Hard on me? You nearly broke my fucking jaw when I was nine, all because Leslie said I broke the TV in anger. Do me a favor, Stormy; go ask Ink what really happened to that TV and ask him where I actually was."
Then I get up and walk out of the room, ignoring his furrowed look of confusion.
I stand outside, taking a deep breath, when I hear a sniffle, and I sigh, not wanting to deal with an upset woman right now. I go to ignore it, but instincts are telling me to take a look, and I'm fucking glad I did. When I get around the corner and see Melanie wiping a tear, something pulls in my gut, and I walk over to her.
She quickly wipes her face when she sees me walking towards her, and I lean against the wall, crossing my arms over my chest. "Are you okay?"
