Hacking the Biker's Code (Dogs of Fire Savannah Chapter #6) - Piper Davenport Page 0,60
grinned, leaning down to kiss me. “Water?”
“Yeah, honey, that’d be great, thank you.”
He grabbed me a bottled water and handed it to me before hauling all our stuff upstairs. I’d insisted on buying another bassinet for the barn, along with a pack-n-play. We’d also brought a few changes of clothes, toys, and diapers.
So much had happened in the last six months, it was nice to have things settle for a bit.
Lila had pleaded not guilty, so I had to testify at her trial. In the end, she was found guilty and committed to a prison psychiatric hospital for the rest of her natural life. This outcome made things much calmer for me. At least in my head. She couldn’t get to me where she was going and that had helped ease my PTSD.
Rabbit no longer worked at the shops with Alamo and Doom full time. He was my equal partner in both flower shops and worked beside me most days, filling in with Doom or Alamo when they needed him.
Stevie was rocking the new store and she finally agreed to buy into a partnership, so she owned twenty-five percent of her store. She’d already proven herself to be invaluable, but now she got to benefit from her loyalty, and her store was doing double the business of mine, so we were all benefitting financially.
Rabbit and I had found a gorgeous home close to Doom and Lyric. Not quite as fancy or old, a block away from their historical home, but it was big, four bedrooms, five bathrooms, plus bonus, and a daylight basement. It had been built in the 80s and totally gutted and remodeled three years ago. Doom’s dad was an expert in all things construction, owning his own home restoration company, and he’d done a walk through then met with the inspector on our behalf and deemed the house a steal, so we jumped on it. We’d moved in three months ago and I loved it.
Taxi and Rabbit were working peacefully so far. Rabbit was still pretty tight-lipped about things, but was much better about communicating when he had to do something that might be a little dangerous. Those times meant Mouse or Shadow was hanging out at our place until Rabbit was home safe and sound. I’d been informed that Taxi and the powers that be had offered immunity to the club for any past ‘sins’ that might be uncovered during their work together. This was apparently the only reason Doc would allow Rabbit to do anything with Taxi, and the immunity trickled down to other clubs in the area as well.
My parents were stellar grandparents…no surprise there. They were always up to babysit, and between them and the club, we didn’t have to sort out daycare. We had a few great girls who watched our kids during the day, so much so, the club decided to register the daycare officially, even though only club kids would be in attendance.
Jasmine had given birth to a darling little girl, Chance, three months before Cooper, and the babies were already thick as thieves. All our kids played well together, actually, and since the pack was growing in leaps and bounds, it was good they all got along so well.
“Bassinet is set up in our room,” Rabbit said, flopping down beside me. “I changed the sheets in the Pack-n-Play, and Coop’s clothes are in the bottom drawer of the dresser.”
I grinned, leaning over to kiss him gently. “My hero. Thank you.”
Cooper must have heard his daddy, because he let out a scream and tried to pitch himself out of Lyric’s arms. Rabbit caught him, holding him close.
“He might be hungry,” I said.
“Bottle or tit?” Rabbit asked.
“I will see if he’ll take the breast,” I said, and held my hands out to him. “I’d rather my child not learn ‘tit’ so early in his life.”
Rabbit grinned, handing him to me, then covering me with a blanket for modesty. I was all about a woman’s right to feed her child anywhere, anytime, but would never feel comfortable just whipping my boob out in public, so always brought a blanket with us.
As I fed our child, I watched our family arrive in stages of chaos, depending on how many kids they brought with them. Rabbit stayed put, so I leaned my head against his shoulder and he kissed me again.
