“There wasn’t any that were not occupied by brothers, plus this room was across the hall. She said depending on how long we are planning on staying here before moving your club to Briarfield they could get the fingerprint access added.”

He nods his head, “You might want to do that, even if we are here for a short period of time. I’ve been informed that some of the club whores are still on the hunt for you. Apparently being told you are taken doesn’t really mean much when Peyton won’t acknowledge that she is your ol’ lady. I just think something is going to happen if you don’t have more security in your room.”

“Well it will be fine. I can talk to Grim and Valkyrie when we get back. I don’t think any of those bitches will do anything because they don’t want to get kicked out. I at least hope they won’t be dumb enough to try and break into my room when they know babies will be in there.”

Peyton walks over with our little Rebel in her arms, she is wearing a pink onesie, sporting both of her clubs that she is the princess of. We agreed, Knox and I, that the boys will patch with Untamed since they are his boys biologically. Rebel is and always will be the club princess to both clubs because we are both her daddies. We also discussed that once Peyton is up for it, the next babies she has are going to be mine. We hope anyway.

All three babies pass their carseat test and we are carrying their seats out of the hospital. Knox and I are carrying them and Peyton is walking next to us with the cutest pep in her step. I had moved the SUV towards the exit so our vehicle is parked right outside the doors. After getting everyone situated in the car, I got in the driver’s seat and Knox climbed into the passenger seat and we headed out to the clubhouse. We talked briefly with Peyton about the room's situation and surprisingly she was okay with it. She told us that she knows she is going to need her sleep and she knows that I would not let anything happen to our babies.

Pulling into the clubhouse parking lot there is a big sign on the outside that says ‘Welcome Home!’. It is pretty amazing that this family has gone all out to make sure that we are welcome here. All the members have taken their turns visiting at the hospital and getting to know the new future of the Untamed club.

They also took the next few weeks to get to know and snuggle with the little bundles. Knox got everything ready with the brothers that were moving to Briarfield with us. Who would have thought that once April came around we would be ready to move and start the next adventure of our lives. Hoping for no more speed bumps.

Chapter Twenty

Whip

Today is the day we finally arrive at the Untamed clubhouse in Briarfield, to say I was glad to be back in Virginia is an understatement. I’m glad I will be home and close to my brothers again. I will miss the atmosphere in Devil’s Hollow, but I am glad that I will be able to see my buddies at the clubhouse again. Being a half an hour away isn’t completely ideal, but it is better than in a different state. We pulled up to the clubhouse early this morning, all the brothers on their bikes leading in the prospects in the moving vehicles and Peyton in our SUV. I’m sure people around town are very curious about what is going on.

I know that Knox has been here with several brothers when he came to check on the progress of everything, but not this many at once. We pull up to the gate and Knox gets off his bike and keys in the code for the gate. It opens and we all proceed in. Knox takes off down another side road I know towards the house, so I follow. Peyton follows behind us as well. With everything that has gone on lately we haven’t talked at all about what is going on with all of us. Peyton hasn’t said one way or another if she forgives me. She kind of just seems like she has been going with the flow. I know she had a doctor's appointment before we left and to see if she was cleared or not. She hasn’t really told us about how that went.

Coming up to the house, I am excited for us to start our life here. I will give it to Knox. He really did a great job designing this house. I know I chipped in and told him some things that I thought would be awesome to have in the house, so I am excited to see how it all turned out. We pull up to a house that sits slightly away from any of the other homes that have been built on the property, far enough away that engines and late night noise doesn't bleed into any bedtimes or naptimes. It’s on the edge of the land close to where you can see a fence and another driveway. I gave him that idea. I liked the way that Sophie and Lash had a separate entrance to their home so they didn’t have to go through the main gate all the time. They had a security entrance leading to their drive that had a code only they knew. The house is backed by trees and is facing open land.

The house is large and to me that is good because I think that after these three babies we will be adding more to our home. It has a stone foundation and dark timber framing. There is a wide wraparound porch and tall windows to pull in light without exposing the inside. There is space all around it. A yard for the kids to play when they are old enough, a gravel drive that is wide enough for multiple vehicles. He has a detached garage and a workshop, which is great for me to work on bikes or cars if I want. One thing Peyton had said she wanted was gardens so she could plant fruits and vegetables, so Knox gave her that. There is also room for any additions we may need to add on to the house in the future.

I park my bike and hop off, heading towards the SUV to help Peyton get the triplets out of the vehicle. All of the sudden the moving truck pulls up and another vehicle behind it. Knox starts walking over to me and pats me on the back.

“My parents are taking the triplets for the night to give us some time to set up the house and give us some alone time.” He smirks at me as he opens the door to Peyton’s SUV.

Peyton gets out and looks behind us with a confused look on her face, I guess she didn’t know they were in our traveling party either.

“What’s going on, Knox? Why are your parents here?”

Knox removes one of the baby seats from the car and sets it down on the ground next to it.

“They are going to take the triplets, I know that they are only a couple months old, but we are going to have some time to ourselves and get the house set up. They are here to help so that I can get the club up and running as well as making sure the house is set up for us. I have some furniture already set up there, but obviously we need to unpack. Plus we want to get shit done before we have them here. They are going to be staying in our suite in the clubhouse. You’ve got finals, so this is going to help too. We want to make sure everything is good before we have to fly back for your graduation next month. It is great that your professors have allowed you to submit your finals online, but I want to make sure you have time to focus. So we obviously will be seeing the babies all the time, mom and dad won’t be watching them all the time. We are not neglectful parents, but this way we have some help til everything calms down for a little while.”

Peyton looks at him, then me. “Did you know about this?”

I am pulling out Rebel from the car, “No, baby, I didn’t know. It’s all news to me. But honestly, it will be nice to have some help while we adjust. Your dad right now is a half an hour away and he’s back on the hunt for the twins. So having Knox’s folks here will be helpful.”

“But I don’t know about them staying away from us tonight, they are babies. They are brand new. Isn’t it too early to have a night away?”

Knox walks up to her and pulls her to him, “Baby, we need ‘us’ time too. It doesn’t make it wrong. The babies will be fine, my mama and dad raised four babies as well. Everything is going to be okay. It is okay to take some time for yourself. Plus once they leave, Pey, we will have to figure out a way to have them taken care of once you start med school and you told me you wanted to get a job at the hospital here for a foot in the door while you work on your medical degree. So right now we need to take this time for ourselves too. Getting the house set up for the babies is a good thing. We will see them in the morning. I stocked the fridge and the freezer in our room with breast milk the last time I was here.”

“Well you’ve just thought of everything.” Peyton grumbled.

I chuckled as I reached in and grabbed Ronan. I looked up and the prospect was handing Knox the keys to the large moving truck we had and Hawk and Echo were grabbing Rowan’s carseat. I then took Rebel and Ronan’s carseats to their car to help them situate the babies’ seats in the car. Hawk and Echo nod their heads at me and hop in their car and head out. The prospect had already left and was walking back towards the clubhouse. I know Knox said that he made rooms for the prospects to share at the clubhouse and we really only brought a couple of prospects from the club back in Devil's Hollow. The ones that didn’t have any family to stay for.

Peyton’s phone rings as I get close to her and she lifts it checking to see who it is. When she answers it she has a smile on her face.

“Hey daddy. How are you doing?”

There is a pause and the longer Bulldog talks the more defeated Peyton looks. Her shoulders begin to drop and the smile that was on her face vanished. Knox and I step forward to be close to her and whatever is happening, we let her know that we will be here for her.

“Yeah, okay. No, thank you for telling me.”

Pause.
