“Yes, something needs to be done about an issue I just overheard, and I think an intervention is in order. She might not know it but I heard exactly what she did and I’m pissed. I know everyone goes through things differently, it doesn’t give them an excuse for bullying and saying hurtful things all because they didn’t get their way and find out what happen to Harley. She’s been through hell. I can only imagine what she dealt with growing up having to deal with the grandfather who brought up a demon of a child, who would hurt her child and give another one up, telling those children’s father the child died in birth. I mean who does that shit,” I rant.
“Call them,” Rachel says immediately without hesitation.
“I’m calling Twister informing him of this. He’ll make sure they all get up here.” Stoney nods.
“Thank you,” I murmur in gratitude.
“It’s nothing to thank us for, Jordan. I’m sorry and you’re right we all go through things in different ways. I’m finally overcoming my own demons as I grow even closer to Stoney. I don’t know what I’d do without him, I do suggest we ask Badger and Neo to come in and tell them what’s happened,” Rachel suggests.
“Don’t worry about it, Doll. I’m shooting all the men a text telling them we’re having church. You staying in here, or you gonna go hangout in the other room?” The love and adoration Stoney has for Rachel is beautiful to me.
“I think if Jordan’s cool with it, I’ll take the boys out in the main room, check on Luca and Corinne, and hang with Jordan for a while. How about we order pizzas tonight?”
“I’m alright with hanging out with you. I won’t be responsible for my actions if I have to speak with the others right now. I’m livid with them,” I say with a small smile.
“Sounds good, order pizza and when we get out of church, I’ll help you take the kids home and put them in bed,” Stoney grumbles, standing from behind his desk.
Satisfied, I leave them to it and pull out my phone. I pull up Izzy’s number and hit send.
Izzy answers almost immediately. “What the hell, woman? You know you just ruined it for me?”
I giggle, then cringe as I hear Twister in the background muttering about blue balls. “Sorry, and just for the record, I don’t need that vision in my head. Not now, not ever. Seriously. It’s bad enough I have to hear Connors talking about my brothers to Annslee.”
“Yeah, yeah, yeah, and I don’t need visions of you taken it from Badger as he ties you to the bed. No matter how hot it sounds. Now what’s up?” That’s Izzy for you. She can go from joking to all seriousness without even batting an eye.
Quickly I give her a run down and tell her Twister’s going to be getting a call from Stoney. I can almost see her face now as I explain things. “We’ll be there around noon tomorrow. I agree. It’s time for an intervention of the ol’ ladies. Ally told me about Harley and how she reminds her of how she used to be.”
“Yeah, she’s right. I’ll see you tomorrow then,” I say, hanging up.
With that done, it’s time to find my little man and check on him. Nico can get into almost anything and knowing he’s so much like his daddy, I have my hands full and once the one I’m carrying gets here I don’t know what I’ll do. But thankfully I have Badger every step of the way. He’s my strength as Neo is Harley’s.
Chapter Nineteen
Neo
Pounding my taped fists against the punching bag Shadow holds for me, I throw a couple of combos releasing my stress out on to the bag. I thought my hand would take a little longer to heal but by the end of the first week, I was able to get back in the gym.
Badger and I decided to keep the little bit of information about him being Harley’s brother away from her for the time being. My woman isn’t stupid and knows I’m not telling her something. During the past couple of weeks, we spent a lot of time together and as I felt she was growing stronger, I took her to our house.
To say she was surprised to find out I’d bought it is an understatement. We decided to stay at the clubhouse for the time being while I finished renovations on the place. I helped her pick up a couple things she needed to work. I’d been surprised to find out she was a freelance editor now after quitting her job at the school.
Hitting the bag again, I keep up momentum until Stoney appears at mine and Shadow’s side. “I’ve sent a group text for church but figured I’d find you two in here.”
“What’s up, Prez?” Shadow asks.
Stoney looks from him to me. “Before church, I want you to check on your ol’ lady.”
“What’s happened?” I demand, my body tightening at the thought of something happening to her.
“She overheard something and let’s say I’m letting the ol’ ladies handle it because Jordan came to my office requesting permission for all the women from Twister’s charter to come up here.”
“Exactly what did she overhear and who?” Shadow growls.
“I’ll explain it all in church but just know this shit’s not happening again. I’m going with Jordan’s idea on this because I believe it might help Harley,” Stoney grinds out.
“I’m gonna go check on her. I’ll be in church as soon as I do,” I say already heading for the door while I unwrap the tape around my hands.
My gut tightens as I get closer to my room.
Fuck.
Please. Please. Please, don’t let her do anything to herself.
I’d taken some time while we were at the house to talk to my uncle and tell him I finally get it. I listened to him tell me what really
