He nods and opens his arms for me, and I smile and go willingly, placing my head against his chest, but I flinch at the soreness of my cheek, causing him to tense and pull back.
He cups my cheek and tilts my head slightly before narrowing his eyes, and he grunts, “Which fucker backhanded you, sweetheart?”
“She was backhanded?” Bellamy demands as he takes me from my dad, making me gasp at the sudden movement, before he, too, inspects my cheek.
“Scrawny,” I admit, knowing he’s again borderline, and Bellamy snaps, “Trick!”
The man walks over and twists me towards him, and I state, “You all are going to make me vomit in a minute! Morning sickness isn’t just in the morning, you know!”
“Sorry, doll,” Trick says, and he inspects my cheek while Fury asks, “Do you need Medic?”
“Nah, she’s all good thankfully, but I am worried about how she was knocked out,” Trick replies, then looks at me and asks, “Can you remember a needle going into you?”
Wait, how do they know I was knocked out?
I shake my head and say, “He put a cloth over my mouth that stunk like a swimming pool.”
He nods and mutters, “Chloroform, so you should be alright and the baby.”
I give him a smile before going on my tiptoes, and I kiss his cheek, making him smile. I walk back into my boyfriend's arms, and I sigh, “Shall we go get a drink and food, lots of food, beforeI take a nap and by nap I mean you and me in bed, then contact all the parents?”
“Your mom has already smoothed it over with the parents, and yes, baby, we can go get a drink and some food before I spend the afternoon in bed with you,” Bell whispers against my head, and I lean into him and allow him to guide me towards the bar.
I hear everyone follow, and close my eyes, trusting Bell to not let me trip. I melt into him with a smile, and one thought hits me before I get to know his family.
I’m going to marry this man.
Chapter 23
Cage
I sigh as I watch the officer brothers all pile into my girl's small apartment, everyone looking around the place that I’ve decided to call home. Blaze and Crusher scowling as they look at the photos of my girl and me, along with her family, who didn’t want her staying here last night.
Her mom cried when I told her she’ll be coming home with me after the bar. Her dad understood and pulled her mom back, whereas her sister threw the biggest fucking hissy fit out of nowhere.
“I nearly lost her without showing her I was sorry, she’s not going with you…”
Her scream inside the bar full of brothers still rattles my ears, but the fact that my girl just walked out without even looking at her was funny as fuck.
She thinks we’re stupid, that Drew is stupid. She spent years treating my girl like shit. She tried pushing her out of her own family, chucked her ex-boyfriend in her face with her mother’s blessing then suddenly is upset because she wants to apologize?
Yeah, nah, not falling for it, the whole time we were at the bar she was fucking drooling over the brothers and don’t get me started on the looks she kept giving me.
The bitch hasn’t seen the light, she’s hoping to entice me away from her sister after we all ‘fall’ for her nice girl act and she can fuck right off.
I shake my head and look towards the kitchen, watching my girl who has yet again stolen one of my shirts – the one I wore last night – making drinks for the assholes who demanded we do church before they got on the road.
Blade and his brothers rode out after the bar, all giving my girl a kiss on the head. That pissed off my brothers because she clearly has a bond with the Dark Angels.
Scar was pissed when he noticed I didn’t agree with coming home after they all but demanded it. While a few of the brothers were busy saying their goodbyes to Drew.
As if feeling my eyes on her, Drew looks my way, and I give her a half smile, causing her to smile widely at me. Just like that, everything settles deep inside me.
I’ve given her a whole fucking week of space, and I now see that was a big mistake.
She said she was scared, that she wasn’t ready to be a momma. That she’s struggling to get her head around the fact she is pregnant before we had a few years together. I knew she’d never terminate the pregnancy, but I also knew she needed time to come to terms with the fact that we are going to be parents. Meanwhile, I needed to try and overcome my fear—a fear I still haven’t managed to conquer because I’ve come to realize I need my girl’s help to overcome it. I needed to try and heal, so leavingher for a week was an idiotic move. Especially when the fuckers managed to grab hold of her and according to my girl, they had no idea who I was.
Scar messaged last night, Scrawny blabbed like a little squealing pig. The idiots didn’t even know I was Carnage when they were following me. Neither did their boss like we all thought, they want all MC’s in the surrounding areas to fuck off.
