–MACSEN –
I dozed off for about half an hour and have been staring at Lu’s sleeping face for about ten minutes now.She seems so damn peaceful in her sleep without a single worry.Reaching out, I gently stroke her cheek and feel the spark between us warm my chest.
Pregnant.I still can’t believe it.A huge damn smile slides across my face before worry starts to burn like a hot coal in the pit of my stomach.Fuck.With the bounty on her head, we might not become parents at all.
Carefully, I slide my legs off the bed and make sure not to wake Lu.She needs the rest while I search for Thorsten to get an update on the situation.I get dressed and close the door behind me.
Once I get in the main room, I’m blocked to head into church by Livi.
My eyes widen when I notice something.“You’re not going to ink that for real, right?”I point at the Wisely Dicey patch stenciled on her neck with the top rocker stating in bold letters Thorsten, and there’s a line “Property of” sitting above it.
Livi grins.“I had Archer get a tattoo ready for me.He just left.And yes, I will get it inked as soon as I’ve popped out the little one.”
Kenz turns her arm in my direction and shows her inner arm with the same patch, only this one states “Falcon,” and does look real.
“Archer inked mine.I could have done it myself, but this was easier.Oh, and way more fun to watch and hear him grumble about it being the wrong patch and all.”Kenz snickers.“Falcon doesn’t know it yet, but I’m gonna ink him as soon as he’s available.”
“Bet he’ll be excited,” I tell her with a load of sarcasm.
Kenz flips me off.“The man has nothing to say about it.”
Livi smacks her arm and Kenz shrugs.“What?I’m allowed, he’s my old man and he does talk to me, you know.”Kenz grins and new excitement fills her gaze.“Hey, I can grab my kit and ink Lu.She’s an old lady now too.”
I automatically shake my head.“No, she has to wait just like Livi.”
Both go silent for a moment before they start to squeal like pigs being ripped from their mother’s tit.Motherfucker, my ears might bleed.
“What the hell is going on?”Thorsten grumbles as he walks out of church.
“Lu is pregnant,” Livi announces.
Shit.I probably should have asked Lu first if we’d share the news or keep it to ourselves a bit longer.I guess there’s no choice now.
“We have to tell her about the ink,” Livi states and takes a step in the direction of the hallway.
“She’s sleeping,” I grumble.
Livi waves her hand and is dragging Kenz with her.“She can sleep later.”
I sigh and then remember my woman is an assassin.She can defend herself if needed, even against those two women who almost never take no for an answer.
“How the hell did you knock her up so damn fast?”Thorsen asks as soon as I step inside church.
Grabbing my chair, I pull it back to take a seat, and tell him, “First night we met.So, two months ago, but she only found out recently.”
“Dude knows how to tie an assassin to us.Nice planning, VP,” Jocko remarks.
I glare at the fucker.“What the hell are you doing here?”
“Annoying you, what else?”The smartass grins and I flip him off.
“For the record,” I grunt.“I didn’t tie her to me by knocking her up.She told me she was pregnant after I claimed her, and she accepts by the way.”
Thorsten nods.“Good, ’cause I just received the signed contracts by email.”
Jocko snaps his fingers.“Hot off the press and within half an hour.The government has a dripping wet pussy at the thought of adding an assassin to their payroll.If they only knew their golden goose now has a golden egg inside...tied for life through life, isn’t that fucking ironic?”
“Fuck off, motherfucking cunt,” I snarl.“Get the hell out of church.”
