us there with a gurney and several staff members. “Careful,” she says as Dragon and I work together to get her out of the car and place her on the gurney.

The moment I lay her down a nurse places her hands where Dragon’s were, and they rush her off to the back.

“Come on Tan, let’s go wait for news in the waiting room,” Hunter says, holding out a shirt for me.

“Thanks,” I rasp, giving him a brief glance.

“It’s going to be okay,” Horse murmurs as he clasps my shoulder.

“Yeah. Did you get the rest of them?” I ask.

“No, but we will. Now that we know those fuckers are back, we’ll be on the lookout.” He grumbles.

Nodding, I head for the waiting room.

Horse sits on one side of me as Chaz sits on the other. No one says anything for a long time as we wait. Gadget finally breaks the silence as he comes into the waiting room.

“Those fuckin’ pussies left through a tunnel. And it seems they were expecting us, but whoever the dumb fuck was that put the bomb together didn’t do their homework and put the wires in the wrong spot because the thing was supposed to go off when they left,” he sneers. Blinking at him I take in his words. Those assholes knew the club would be coming with me to find my woman and planned to kill us all.

“We’ll get them, brother. Let’s just worry about making sure Alexis is okay first,” Dragon rasps as he stares at his hands.

“She’ll be okay, Dragon.” At the sound of Connors’ voice behind her husband, I jump up out of my chair.

“Where is she? Is she okay? Can I see her?” I ask without pause.

“Alexis lost a lot of blood and we’d had to give her some to replace what she’d lost. We were able to stitch her throat back up. When she wakes up try not to let her talk, it’s going to hurt for a while. Also, we bandaged up the small slits on her thighs as well as cleaned the areas that seem to have been assaulted.” My vision blurs as Connors finishes.

“D–Did they do anything else to her?” I ask, unable to voice the words that are clogged in my throat.

“We’ve run some tests, but I think you might have stopped anything from happening to her,” she smiles sadly before clearing her throat. “There is one more thing you should know. And it’s kinda like déjà vu for me considering you’re standing next to the man I said this to last time. It looks like your child is okay and we’ll continue to monitor it for now. When Alexis wakes up, we can do an ultrasound for you guys to see for yourselves. Once she’s in a room you’ll be able to go see her.”

Holy motherfuckin’ God. Did she just say?

Fuck me.

I’m going to be a dad.

Cheers fill the room at the news along with laughter at Connors’ resemblance to Horse and I finding out the same way.

Horse turns to face me. “Congrats. I know it’s scary shit right now until you see her. But just remember she is alive and will be okay,” he says.

“If she wants after the scars are healed enough, have her come see me and I’ll come up with a tattoo design for her to cover them up,” Burner says as he comes up to me.

“Thanks, I’ll let her know. I’m gonna go find out what room they’re putting her in and wait for her there. Chaz, can you call Kobi for me and ask him to come home for me?”

“Yeah, I can do that. Wanna tell me why?” He asks.

“I think him, and I need to have a heart to heart with our parents. I am not about to let them continue to fuck with mine or his life. Not when I have a kid on the way. If my mom wants any part of its life, she either leaves the dickhead or leaves us the hell alone. I won’t have Trevor and his men coming at me or my family again for my father’s fuck ups.” I’d thought about that a lot recently and knowing I have a kid on the way seals the deal.

“Don’t worry, Tanner, you have a whole family standing behind you. No one is gonna fuck with us,” Twister states as he holds out a hand to me.

“Thanks man,” I nod before turning toward the nurses’ station. I need to be able to
