she’s planning now.

“Woman I can all but hear what you’re thinking. Get those thoughts out of your head. We aren’t about to let anyone fuckin’ touch that little girl or you for that matter,” Hellhound grunts.

When we’d first met Bethany’s dad and his brothers, I guess you could say we’d been taken aback. They are different from the Devil’s Riot MC but at the same time they both follow the same code and will do whatever it takes to protect their own. Though these guys seem scarier in their own way, especially Hellhound.

“Alexis, don’t even think about arguing either. You and I are gonna have a long chat, but right now we need to know if you know who this is. They said you were theirs,” I state.

“I don’t know who it is. The voice is so distorted I can’t tell if it’s a man or woman for Christ sake,” she says tears of frustration welling in her eyes.

“Alexis, sweetheart, I know you’re upset and want to protect everyone around you; however, leave this to your man and us,” Tombstone commands with a soothing fatherly voice. He’s taken on looking at my wife as another daughter since Bethany and her had become so close.

“I can’t. It’s me they want. I’m not going to let them hurt my niece. Whoever it is, isn’t going to stop there either if I don’t do it. I know it. They will continue to come after me until I’m miserable and to my breaking point,” she says holding back a sob.

Seeing her this upset, I realize just how much this has been bothering her. I let go of some of the anger toward her and pull my wife into my arms. “It’s gonna be okay baby. No one is taking you anywhere or Melody. She’s safe at school right now and I’m sure her dad is going to make sure she stays that way.”

“You’re fuckin’ right I am. Nobody is going to touch my daughter,” Chaz snarls, slamming a fist into the wall next to him.

“Chaz, calm down and breathe for a moment,” Hunter says calmly.

“Calm down my ass. The motherfucker, whoever they are, is not only fuckin’ with my sister but threatening my daughter’s life. Fuck that shit.” Fuck I don’t think I’ve ever seen him this pissed.

“What’s going on here?” Bethany’s concerned voice comes right from the doorway drawing everyone’s attention to her.

“Great, now everyone is here, let’s make it a party,” Alexis mutters sarcastically.

“Umm what did I miss?” Bethany asks, glancing around the room.

“Nothing we can’t handle Bethy,” I say evenly.

“Don’t try that shit with me. What is going on?” she demands putting a hand on her hips.

“Fairy girl, I’ll explain it to you later. Right now, do me a favor and go pick up Melody for me,” Chaz says.

“Okay, but you better tell me when I get back,” she huffs before turning around to leave.

“I’ll go with her and surprise my granddaughter. Maybe take her out for an ice cream see if that buys me away from that fuckin’ swear jar for a while,” Tombstone says.

“Daddy, like that would happen. Melody counts those words like she does her one, two, threes. I swear I’ll be happy as can be if this baby is just like her.” You can hear a pin drop at what Bethany just said as she starts to walk away.

“Hold up there, Fairy girl. Did you just say what I think you did?” Chaz asks as he makes his way toward Bethany.

“And if I did?” she murmurs turning back to face him.

“I thought we agreed to tell everyone together,” he says, crossing his arms over his chest. But we can all see he’s not pissed and knew what Bethany was talking about thanks to the grin he’s sporting.

“Well I’m tired of not saying anything and being hormonal all the time, so I just threw it out there. Yes, I’m pregnant, everyone. No, I’m not joking and now that my dad has mentioned ice cream, I really want some. Now if you all are done, I’d like to go get my daughter and take her for ice cream to finally celebrate the news with her since I’m finally out of the first trimester,” Bethany huffs.

Chuckling Chaz, swoops in taking Bethany in his arms. “You want ice cream, you got it. If you haven’t already figured it out yet that I’m overprotective of you just wait, you haven’t seen anything yet. Prepare to be pampered like no other Fairy girl
