and sit down on the couch before turning on the TV. I hand the remote off to Rich as my eyes slide closed.
I wake with a jolt. Rich is no longer by me on the couch. Kim is sitting in the recliner with a smile on her face as she notices me wake up.
“Morning sleepyhead,” she teases me.
Turning my head as I flip her off, I see Rich and Fox in the kitchen. Killer is home and he’s finishing our dinner while I get up off the couch.
“I’m sorry baby,” I tell him. “I wanted to do this for you tonight.”
“Don’t worry about it, Sparrow,” he tells me, pulling me into his side. “I love what you did to the place while I was gone today. Those pictures are awesome.”
Killer’s eyes land on the picture above the fireplace. At the same time, Stryker walks in the house. He takes in the pictures lining the walls now and the blankets I have over the couch. There are now little touches all over the house.
“Place looks like a home now,” Stryker comments, placing a kiss on my cheek. “Love the pictures.”
Killer and I finish making dinner while our guests sit at the bar in the kitchen and talk amongst themselves. My husband and I work together in the kitchen as if we’ve been doing this for years instead of only a few months really. Every chance he gets, I get a smack on the ass. I squeal out and glare at him every single time he does it. Killer simply looks at me while waiting to see what I’m going to do. He’ll have to wait until everyone leaves and then I’ll get him back for this.
We’ve had people at our home every night since we moved in. I love having a place we can have our family and friends over. It will be better once I’m not so tired from the pregnancy and can actually hang out with them. Right now, the only thing I want to do is sleep and get as much rest as I can. I won’t today though because it’s not a good day for my sister and she still made the trip over here.
Kim and I make our way to the living room. We sit on the couch and turn on one of those sappy chick flicks while Killer puts the finishing touches on our dinner. Once everything is ready, Killer and Fox bring us in our plates of food. We dig in while the guys make their way downstairs. Kim and I laugh our asses off because we knew they wouldn’t sit here and watch movies with us.
“That was too easy,” Kim says between fits of laughter.
“Yeah it was,” I agree with her.
As soon as I’m done eating and drinking my shake, I set the plate and cup on the table in front of us. Grabbing one of the blankets off the back of the couch, I cover up and curl into the arm so my sister can stretch out if she needs to. I hate her being in pain and there not being anything we can do to help her.
Once again sleep is my enemy and my eyes close and I pass out on the couch with a full belly. Kim isn’t far behind me as she covers up and passes out on the opposite end of the couch from me. I see her when Killer wakes me up to go to bed. Fox kisses my cheek and lets me know they’re staying here since she hasn’t been sleeping the best the last few days. He doesn’t want to wake her up so she’s up the rest of the night. Offering a quiet goodnight, I cuddle into Killer’s chest and let my eyes slide closed once more.
Chapter Twenty-Eight
Killer
EVERYONE IS AT the clubhouse today. We’re all just hanging out and spending time together. The women were here while we had church a little while ago and now we’re all in the common room. Gwen is sitting on my lap and I have my hand resting on her belly. Our baby girls are moving around today. I can feel them pushing against my hand where it rests. I can’t keep the smile off my face as they grow and show us every day how strong they are.
Our little girls are going to be just as gorgeous as their mother and have the strength she possesses. I’ll still be there every step of the way to protect
