Page 13 of Lash’s Love

I don’t spend a lot of time with my siblings still, I keep very much to myself with the kids. I spend a lot of time in my studio. I am very much in touch with the Sirens, still limited on what I can learn, but still most of the learning and teaching is not in person because Toby is barely ever gone. I still have to keep in touch with my shop to make sure everything is going well, but I agreed with Toby that I would take time off until after the twins turn a few months old. I am looking into hiring another person for the shop. I think I might bring in a female, I need some estrogen there. I love my guys that work for me, but jeez sometimes I need a woman around. So I have put out feelers and I believe I finally found someone that would fit perfectly into my shop. We have had several video conversations and I offered her the position and she agreed she could start immediately. I also told her she could rent out the apartment above the shop since she is new to town.

I know I will have to go into the shop soon so that I can see how they all mesh together and I am very glad that I found someone who is so talented and willing to work for me. Luca has offered to go in for me and check everything out for me, but I really don’t trust that he will do what I need him to. So I can put off going over there until I have these two giant babies come out of me. I swear I am the size of a whale. I’m just hoping that the guys at the shop don’t have any issues, I have meetings with them, but I hate being out of the shop. Promising Toby to take this time off has been a sacrifice, but working towards fixing what has broken down between us after the twins were kidnapped and mama was killed is something we need to do. We have had several nights where we have our kids over at the in-laws or my father will take them to the clubhouse for a while so we can have some type of date night. It has been nice finding who we are together again. For a long time it has been us and the kids that discovering this part of our relationship again has been nice. I know that we still have a lot to overcome with everything going on in my head and his hurt over how I handled everything, but I am hoping we can move past that. He has been trying hard to make sure I know that my thoughts and feelings are heard, but the club stuff still bothers me because I do not like how things have been handled with the women who cause problems within the club.

So now I spend a lot of time working on designs for clients that have pushed back appointments so they can have me tattoo them. I do have some very faithful clients and I love that. I am very sought after, which I hate bragging about, but it is true. I have offered to have one of my employees do their ink for them, but they have said they want to wait until I am back after the babies. Toby has talked to me about possibly taking some of the ones we trust the most at home. We have a set up for that in one of the rooms at our home, that is where we have done several tattoos on each other. Toby and I have some matching tattoos with each other, along with tattoos that no one knows about. We have been through so much throughout our relationship and always have been able to fall back together. There have been so many jealous bitches around that think stepping in between us is going to do something. Like right now, I get it we got pregnant early, married early, but for women to think that is the time to go and try and separate us when we are dealing with things, is just ridiculous. The club whores that have been here for years know that you do not fuck with married men within the club, unless they ask. These new girls think that they can try and weasel their way into relationships with no care in the world.

Today my dad took the kids over to the clubhouse with Luca’s kids, Davis and Tillie to have them spend some time with their uncles and their nonblood uncles. These people have always been a part of their life so even though I’m struggling to forgive the club for the secrets and the lies, I can’t keep my kids away from their family. Toby is in church and that leaves me home alone. Which doesn’t happen all that much right now since I am so close to my due date and the fact that I’m pregnant with twins, I will more than likely go early. Because of this Toby gets to bring his phone with him during church when normally they are kept in a lockbox outside the door.

Like clockwork since church just started there is pounding on my door. Fantastic, I know who it is and I know what she wants. I just wish the bitch would stop because I don’t want anymore stress. I don’t get women like her. I was raised to support women, not to tear them down. I get it Toby is a beautiful man and honestly I’m sure it grinds some women that they never got a chance with him because I’ve been his one and only, but for some reason there are women out there that can’t respect marriage or the fact that in the eyes of the club I’m his ol’ lady and should be given respect no matter what. If I wasn’t pregnant I would put this bitch on her ass, but I’ve got two little boys to think about cooking in there. My kids will always come first no matter how much I want to beat the shit out of this bitch.

I walk towards the front door and open it only to be surprised that not only had the bitch showed up at my home, but she brought a couple of friends. Not only is it a surprise about the fact she brought friends this time, but it is that the friends are not members of this club, not club girls and definitely not club brothers. The question is, who are they and how the hell did they get on club property. Here my pregnant ass not having anyone home with me, I left my phone in my studio because I thought I was just going to be dealing with Lips telling me about how Toby should be hers. This is not good because looking at these men, they are wearing cuts. Those cuts are from Acid MC and honestly my heart is pounding in my chest. I do not understand how these men got on club property or how they know Lips. I know that I am in trouble, even if I wasn’t hugely pregnant with twins, I would be in trouble. All I know is that I have to keep myself alive and my babies alive so that Toby can find us.

“Hey there, Sophie. So great to see you again, I brought some friends. They are going to help me secure what is mine. They wanted to wait til you got rid of those bastards in your belly, but I talked to my daddy and I was sick of waiting for what was mine. You see, daddy gives me whatever I want. Since he stole your other brats and you guys got them back without giving him what he wanted, I told him we could take you and I could get what I wanted and we can work our way through to the next part of our plan. I mean you're worth more than those two little brats. You are a woman old enough to put out, daddy could sell you already make a shit load of money. He would tear this club up by getting rid of you. He would not only hurt his brother, but he’d hurt Terror and the rest of the club as well by taking one of the fake club princesses. You see I should be the club princess, I should be with Lash and I would’ve been if your fucking father didn’t take what belonged to my daddy. Obviously, you are very fertile, your mama was very fertile, your grandmother fertile so daddy can get a lot of money selling you as a breeder. Not only will I get to be the one that comforts Lash and get what was supposed to be mine if daddy was given the club like he was supposed to. So really we are going to have a great time, getting those babies from you, who we can sell to some very desperate families. You are a walking money maker.”

She and the three men with her stalk into my home and surround me. I can’t do much without hurting my babies and there is no way I can get to my phone. One of the men comes up behind me and before I can turn something pokes me in the back of the neck and I start feeling very drowsy and drop. All I hear is cackling from that psycho bitch. I pray that nothing happens to my babies and hope that these people have an ounce of humanity in them. I hope that Toby finds out we are missing before anyone can hurt me or the twins in my belly.

Chapter Fourteen

Lash

Sitting in church going over the numbers for all of our businesses, we’ve been here for two hours discussing businesses, discussing Acid MC and the shit that we have found and not found about the missing members. I felt like we had so much to discuss, especially going through what Wiz had found and trying to go through all the members of this club to find out who is possibly a mole or moles in the club. There are definitely people within this club that don’t have a solid foundation of the background that they should have. Wiz has definitely continued to look harder at people wanting us to employ them and even women coming in wanting to be club girls.

As we were sitting here going over numbers for one of our strip clubs my phone began to buzz. I look at it because I am keeping it close in case Sophie goes into labor. Being that she is pregnant with twins and weeks away from her due date she could go any time. I see that it is Peyton and I don’t answer it, knowing that Terror has given me permission to have my phone available if it is Sophie and honestly Sophie hasn’t had much communication with many of her siblings, but if she goes into labor she isn’t gonna call the sister that is a half an hour away. A few minutes later there is banging on the room to church and Viper who is closest to the door goes and opens it up only to be shoved out of the way by Bulldog.

“Dad, what the fuck!? You know we aren’t to be interrupted. You used to sit in this chair. Fuck.” Terror says.

But Bulldog isn’t looking at Terror, he is staring at me. My heart drops. I move to stand up, “What’s wrong?”

“We need to get a location on Sophie, now.” He says looking from me to Wiz. I think that I am going to go into fucking heart failure, why would she be anywhere but home. “Peyton called me, said she tried you first. She has been working at a hospital in Briarfield while she attends medical school. She said about ten minutes ago as she was clocking in for her shift she saw some people pushing a passed out Sophie out of the hospital and placing her into a van. Peyton told me that Sophie is no longer pregnant. So she went inside and did some digging, found out two little boys were born via c-section a half hour before. They put Sophie under for the procedure from the looks of it. The doctor had to be in their pocket because he signed off on the procedure saying that Sophie was having complications, but then discharged her not even a half hour after he pulled those babies from her belly. Peyton went to the NICU and secured the babies, the nurse and pediatrician there have said that the babies appear to be doing well for their development. I didn’t get the stats for you Lash, but Peyton said she called the Untamed and they have a couple of brothers at the hospital now watching over the boys. Peyton called you first and when she couldn’t get in touch with me assumed you were in church so she called me. This has got to be Acid. We need to find her. The Untamed took the doctor and a couple of the nurses that were involved and brought them to their cabin on their property for a discussion.”

I think my legs gave out, haven’t we been through enough? Haven’t our children been put through enough? I cannot lose Sophie.

“How did they even get on our property? My house is secure.”

Wiz hasn’t said a word, he is typing away on his computer. “Look at this.”

He pulls up the video and puts it on our tv that is in the room. It is security footage from my home. We see Lips and three other men walk up my steps and knock on the door. You hear and see Sophie answer the door, Lips talks about how she comes here and how I belong to her. Apparently something my wife never shared with me was that Lips has been coming to our home and harassing her regularly. It hurts me to think she didn’t come to any of us with this stuff and she’s been continuing to hide things that the club can help her with. I’m fucking angry that she hid this because this whole fucking situation could’ve been avoided. If she would’ve opened her mouth and told me or any of her brothers that this bitch has been coming to our home, we could’ve made sure that someone was always with her and we could’ve gotten rid of this bitch. Now we know that she is one of the people that have been giving information to the enemy, that she helped these men sneak into our territory and hand off my wife and children to them. Also news to us that this bitch is Acid’s daughter and she thinks she should be a club princess and Sophie stole her life.

“Where is her location, Wiz? She is wearing her necklace, I put it on her months ago so that we can keep her tracked. No one knows, not even that bitch that all of the ol’ ladies and kids now have trackers. Please tell me, we need to find her and get her to a hospital.”

Terror looks at me, “Do you want to head to the hospital and see your boys? We can get Sophie.”

“No, I’m not meeting my boys without Sophie. She is going to wake up terrified. Those babies were ripped from her while she was sleeping. I need my woman to feel safe. Who knows what those assholes are doing to her. I need to fucking find her. My kids cannot be without a mother. They have all been through enough. They cannot lose their mother. I cannot lose her.”

I feel like the air got sucked out of me. What in the hell am I going to do, what are they doing to her? Why us? Why Sophie? She has kids, I would rather it have been me. Those kids need their mama. Fuck! I need their mama. I don’t know a world where she doesn’t exist. My chest is starting to feel tight and I feel like I cannot breathe. I feel like my legs are going to give out and I place my hands on my knees trying to catch my breath. I feel someone come up next to me and put their hand on my back.

“You need to breathe, brother. We’ve got you. She’s going to be okay. Our Sophie is strong.” Terror says.

“Alright, don’t worry Lash. She is wearing her necklace and I have her on the map. She is now about a half an hour away from the hospital in Briarfield. It looks like they are still driving. I can get in touch with other clubs over that way and see if they can help intercept. I really think that you should get your kids. We can have them transported to the hospital here.” Wizard says.

“I am going to get my wife back. We don’t know what they are planning to do with her. What if they are planning to sell her, we need to get to her before they hand her over to the Russians. Yes we have her location, but they are already steps ahead of us. I am not going to lose her to these bastards. I need to be there to get her. I will not tell my parents they lost their mama. If they lose her, they are going to lose both parents. I can’t do this without her. She is the best of me, she is my heart and soul. So I will get the boys after we get their mama.”

“Okay, but I think Sophie would want you to see those boys and stay with them, Toby.” Terror states using my given name which is rare we do that around the club. “I know it is hard, brother, but we are her family and we will find her and protect her. You’ve got eight kids to worry about, not just Sophie. Your kids need you and Sophie wouldn’t want you running into danger and something happening to you, if something happens to her. She would want you to be with your kids.”

“Yeah and how am I going to help my kids without a heart and soul, Luca?” I practically yell at my president, but I don’t care. I wish everyone would stop trying to tell me what they think I should do and what Sophie would want. She would want this to not have happened to her, she would want to be there when her boys were born. She would want this to not be happening at all. “I can’t lose her man. So we need to just drop this right now and head out. Peyton is with the boys. The rest of the kids are here and we can keep them with Cannon or Cane. Maybe both, I don’t know. I can’t think straight and won’t be able to until we get to my woman. If anything happens to her, I won’t survive it. The kids deserve more than a hollow man. I need her. The kids need her. So lets get the fuck out of her and stop talking. You can argue with me all day, but no one is going to change my mind. I am getting my woman. If the shoe was on your foot or any of you and it was your woman you can’t tell me that you would just let everyone else go get her and not go with.”

With that I exit the room and head out to my bike. Pulling up the tracker app on my phone, the rest of my brothers followed and we all hopped on our bikes and headed out in formation. I just hope we get to her before anything happens. She is already in trouble with the forced c-section and them taking her shortly after not allowing any time to recover.

After what feels like hours we finally make it to the abandoned warehouse an hour out of Briarfield. Sophie’s tracker has stopped here and I am praying that they didn’t cut the necklace off of her which would be the only way to remove it since it has a key lock that only I have the key for. I have never been one to pray, but right now I am praying that we are not too late and that she is in this building and I get her back safely. We don’t have much of a plan when we head in towards the building. All of us have our weapons drawn and ready to go in there guns blazing to get my girl back.
