“Is she going to hurry up and get here?”
Kenna laughed. “I was thinking the same thing when you were praying with Ramon. You did good, by the way.”
“Thanks.” He kissed her again.
She sat back in the chair, and the baby decided to dance around, kicking the top of her belly since she’d turned.
Jax came back out with a dustpan and brush. He swept the porch, then let Cabot come and sit by her, wearing a doggy overcoat.
“Hi, puppy.” Kenna reached down and scratched her nose, and the dog wagged her tail on the wood planks. “You’re a good doggy, yes, you are.”
She’d been through a lot in her life, just like the rest of them. But she accepted every change with a kind of peace that said a lot about her contentment. With the people she knew around her, it didn’t matter where she was. There was safety and happiness there.
Ramon came out with Jax, carrying a laptop. “She gave us all of it.”
Kenna said, “All of what?”
“Dominatus,” Ramon said. “We have the member list, all their information, and every major operation they had going for the past few decades. There’s more still that I haven’t looked at. That woman, their operative, she handed the entire group over to us.”
“That isn’t a fight I’m going to take on,” Kenna said.
Jax leaned against the porch rail, the tips of his ears red with cold. “Maybe we don’t need to take them on. Maybe we do what Kenna Banbury does. Hand the evidence and the suspect to the police and let justice happen. Let the feds and the police take the whole group apart.”
“I like that idea.” Kenna nodded.
She held out her hand, and Jax helped her out of the chair. Kenna felt an odd sensation and looked down to find wet between her feet. “Uh…”
“Your water just broke?”
“Don’t ask me. I’ve never done this before!”
Ramon chuckled. “Now she freaks out. Guess you’re not as cool as you think you are.”
She looked at Jax. “Get me a glass. I’m going to throw it at him.”
“Maybe later.” Jax kissed her. “Right now, I think we’re going to the medical center in town so you can have this baby.”
Kenna looked around flustered. “We need to…”
Jax touched her cheeks. “I’ve got this. Okay? Don’t worry.”
She nodded, and he kissed her again. Then he handed her the car keys. “You go get in the car. I’ll tell Maizie and Elizabeth what’s happening.”
“Okay.”
Ramon set the laptop on her chair and held out his hand. “Come on, I’ll walk you to the car.”
“Thanks.” She stepped carefully down the porch steps, hearing Jax in the cabin calling out to the women. They were going to want to come to the medical center. “Are you coming?” She looked over at Ramon as they walked the path to the garage.
“Wouldn’t miss it.” He patted her arm, linked through his. “I’ll sit with Maizie and Elizabeth. Make sure they’re okay.”
Chapter Forty-Eight
Washington, DC, Federal Courthouse
Present Day
“Thanks to the tireless work of the men and women of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the organization known asDominatusis no more.” Kenna felt a surge of satisfaction in knowing Jax had called it “the Kenna Banbury way.” Knowing the task was complete now allowed her to sleep soundly, to live in peace, and to continue to have a good relationship with law enforcement.
