‘Ugh this man. He is perfect for me in every way even if he makes me cry with his sweetness.’
Wrapping my arms around his waist, I rest my head on his chest as he hugs me to him.
“Thank you,” I say with a small, happy sigh as he presses his lips to my head.
“No thanks necessary, baby.”
We stay wrapped in each other’s arms for a moment, holding on, drawing comfort from one another, before he asks, “What do you want to do next?”
Tilting my head back, I look at him with a small grimace. “I guess we have to tell my parents.”
“We do,” he agrees. “I know your family, Jeanie, and I’ve met your dad. He’s a scary fucker, and he may not be thrilled at howthe baby happened, but he’ll still support you. It’s me he may kill.”
I laugh because he’s not wrong. Dad is scary, but he won’t want to kill Bolt. He’ll know just from the way he treats me he’s the one I’ve been waiting for.
“Ally and I have a plan,” I tell him. “Her and Sam are also expecting, and we’re going to hit him with a double whammy.”
“Ah fuck me,” Bolt groans, wiping a hand over his face. “I’m not sure if that will be any better, but at least Sam will take some of the heat. Although, he at least made your sister an old lady and married her before he knocked her up.”
“It will be fine,” I assure him, taking his hand and walking out of the room with him to the desk to pick up our scan and the link for the digital report. I stop in surprise when I see Ally and Sam at the desk picking up what looks to be their own scans and information.
“What are you doing here?” I ask going straight to my sister and hugging her, looking at my brother-in-law over her shoulder. He smiles at me before teasing me. “Jeanie, fancy meeting you here.”
“Shut it.” I laugh, slapping his shoulder while still holding my sister in a one-armed hug. Releasing her, I turn towards Bolt, who is standing hands in his pockets, watching us. Holding out my hand for him to take, I tug him towards us for introductions.
“Bolt, I’m not sure if you know Sam and my sister, Ally?”
“I don’t know Ally, but I know Sam from his short stint in the US before we moved here,” he replies, holding out his hand towards Sam first, then bends to buss a kiss to Ally’s cheek.
“Well now, you know both of them. I’d forgotten Sam had been to your MC while in the states,” I say with a smile before asking Ally, “Are we doing dinner tonight at the compound?”
“Yep.” Ally smirks, holding up her envelope. “Thought we’d join you in telling the family tonight and act as a buffer for you.”
“Thanks, sissy,” I say and glare at Sam when he snickers and eyes Bolt. “I’m fucking glad you knocked Jeanie up, man. Takes some of the pressure off me.”
“Jesus, you’re being ridiculous. Dad’s not an ogre,” I grumble, taking the envelope the receptionist hands me. “Thank you,” I tell her before continuing. “It will be fine.” I side-eye Ally, who is looking way too happy for my liking about our impending dinner with our parents.
“Sure,” she agrees, laughing as I slap at her, and she dodges out of the way, hiding behind Sam.
“Sisters,” I grumble, wrapping my arm around Bolt’s. He’s looking at us with amusement at the two of us carrying on. “Who needs them?”
I don’t mean it. I love my sister. We’ve always been close, and we always will be. That we are having our first babies together means so much to me.
It doesn’t take long to get to the car park. Turning to Ally and Sam, I say, “We’ll see you at the compound.”
“Okay, sissy.” Ally hugs me tight. “I know I tease, but it will be fine; you’ll see.”
“I know,” I whisper my reply. “How could it not be? He’s exactly what I’ve been waiting for. He’s the other part of my soul.”
I didn’t have to say more. Ally knows what I mean.
Letting her go, I watch as she and Sam walk towards their vehicle before turning to Bolt.
“Ready?”
“As I’ll ever be.” He smiles, opening my door for me and helping me in. He takes his cut and leather jacket with the Queens Wraiths patch off, and folds it, laying it on the back seat along with his cut before he gets into the vehicle. This isn’t unusual. I’ve been around guys from MCs before, and they all do this when they aren’t on their bikes. A few cars down, I watch as Sam does the same thing.
Bolt gets into the driver’s side and finds the compound address in his saved GPS addresses without me having to tell him what it is. This surprises me. Not many know where we live.
