He went into the bathroom and came out with a washcloth for my core and thighs. When we were done we left the room in search of food. Both our stomachs were grumbling and growling like we hadn’t eaten in weeks. When we got to the kitchen, we saw a little blonde that was skinnier than my pinky arguing with Rage.
“No, I don’t need your fucking help damn it. I don’t need it and I don’t fucking want it. Now let me fucking leave or I will call the damn cops.” Rage chuckled and her face turned even redder if that was possible.
“I would like to see what they say when you do call, sweetheart.” He nodded and left her chasing after him like a lost puppy.
“Rage, I swear to god if you don’t let me out of this place I am going to murder you in your sleep!”
To which he replied, “Well you could but I don’t fucking sleep, babe.”
Huh. I turned to Axel at the same time he looked at me and said, “That was strange. He doesn’t talk. To anyone. He grunts and growls.” To that Axel just shrugged. Well that was just fucking weird.

Riley and I were at the tattoo shop getting her back covered in the most intricate design of a huge wolf with the brightest blue eyes and its mouth opened in a growl. The only color were its eyes and its tongue. I thought she would have gone with something more colorful, but what Riley wants, Riley gets. It was six months after everything and she was still having nightmares. I couldn’t blame her because I was too. She said she wanted this because it represented her fighting through her demons.
We have been here four times for the whole thing to be done because there was no way she was sitting for the entirety of it. Tattooing over that scar tissue was painful enough for her, let alone having to do it for a long amount of time. This was our last session and she had me go outside for a little while. She said something about talking to the tattoo artist, Jenny, about something. I wasn’t worried about it so I gave her a kiss and waited in the car.
The car door shutting startled me awake. I must have fallen asleep. We have been busy as fuck with trying to sort through all of this strip club business. It hasn’t been easy and the previous owner had been giving us some serious shit lately. I must have been more exhausted then I realized. As we drove home, Riley told me that her and Jenny got caught up in their conversation and didn’t realize how much time went by.
As soon as we got to the clubhouse, everyone was running around in a fit. Immediately my guard went up, thinking something was wrong. My worries were squashed when Crow came out carrying Stana like a bride and she was yelling at him.
“You idiot, I am having a baby. It doesn’t mean I can’t walk.” And that was the end of that. We found everyone but Grinder and the probates going to the hospital. Riley rushed after them while I ran to the bedroom to grab Riley’s helmet. It was summer out so we were taking the bike. The hospital wasn’t too far so her back should be fine to ride. I didn’t get two steps out of the room when Riley pushed me back in and closed the door. What the fuck was going on with her today?
“I wanted to wait until it was fully healed to show you but I couldn’t wait. Help me with my shirt, would you?” Of course there was no hesitation from me. Seeing Riley shirtless was never any question for me. It wasn’t like the baby was coming right this second anyways, so we had some time. After we got done unwrapping the beautiful fucking masterpiece that was Riley’s back, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Right there on her shoulder blade was a bullet with an R engraved on it. Shit.
“Well, what do you think?” Riley sounded absolutely giddy. My heart was stuttering and I couldn’t figure out what to say. She turned around and I did the only thing I could think of to show her what it meant to me; I pulled her in for a bruising kiss and thrust my tongue into her mouth. She held onto my hips while I poured everything I was feeling into her mouth. All the love and happiness she gave me was something I never thought I would ever get in my life, and I thanked god every day for her. The kiss turned slow until I was just sipping from her lips, tasting her and loving every bit of her.
“You are my fucking world, Riley. I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you. Now let’s get to the hospital so we can meet that baby niece or nephew of ours.” I gave her a peck on the nose and we were on our way.
When we got to the hospital I had a feeling of happiness that I don’t think I have ever felt before. It was like all was right in the world and nothing could break this bubble of ours. For once the hospital didn’t bring me a sense of foreboding. Four hours later we were all sitting, waiting for this little one to be brought into the world when Crow came out with tears in his eyes.
Riley was the first one to jump out of her seat and ran to him, hugging him
