Alli
“Spider, please I just wanna see if he’s okay?” I begged for the hundredth time
He sighs “Alli, I’m not gonna help you so just give up. Rider will kill me... All I can say is that he’s okay” with pity in his eyes he walked away.
It’s been a week since Rider kicked Luke out. I told him it was my fault but he wouldn’t listen. I’m so angry at him that I’ve been giving him the silent treatment which is driving him crazy. I even tried to sleep in a different room but he just ended up dragging me back. He also set up a f*cken body guard at the front door so I can’t leave without his permission. That controlling bastard!!
I sit at the bar feeling defeated.
“Here” Chain Saw hands me a glass of what looks like whiskey
“I’m pregnant” I say. Thinking he forgot
“It’s apple juice” he grunts out.
I laugh “Thank you” Chain Saw a man of very few words. He rarely ever says anything or even gets involve in Club drama. All I know about him is that he’s an ex veteran who suffers from PTSD.
“Don’t stress out to much. It’s not good for the baby” his voice is rough but has a tone of sweetness and concern to it.
I look down feeling shameful “I know” I close my eyes and rub my stomach
“The Club is family and we take care of our family. You are part of that family” he says
I’m surprise he’s being so kind and genuine “Sometimes I worry I’ll let you all down” I say trying to be honest too. Being Rider old lady doesn’t just make me his it means that I also have a responsibility to the club. They also look at me for guidance and leadership
“Never” he huffs out
I grab Chain Saws hand making him stiffen at our sudden contact. I blush not sure if it’s the right thing to do but he doesn’t push me away.
Blade
This morning Rider asked me to go for a ride with him. Things at home have been weird and everyone can feel the tension between our Prez and his Old Lady. I know Rider once he made up his mind it’s almost impossible to change it but I also know my sister and she can be very stubborn especially when it comes to the ones she loves. Somehow she found a friend in Luke I think it’s because they have similar background. Alli is so naive that she can’t tell that Luke has developed feelings for her and Rider is so possessive that he can’t tell that Alli only has eyes for him. But even so Luke expression was unexpected he looked relief almost happy to be leaving.
We arrive at an unknown house not to far away from the club.
“What are we doing here?” I ask.
“What do you think?” He smiles brightly at the house as if beyond these doors he’ll find his hopes and dreams waiting for him.
It’s a modern three story house. It’s beautiful but I’m confused why we are here?
“I bought it” he says plain and simple
“W..what?” I stutter
“I want a place that’s her’s somewhere we can raise our kids. After we find Candy and kill her father I plan to show her this place. Until then it’ll be under construction. I want it to be perfect”
I know Alli hates being locked up and if Rider ever had ill intentions towards her I would be the first to fight for her but Rider only wants to protect her. She’s in danger and her safety comes before her freedom.
“Is everything ready for the Italians tomorrow?” Rider ask
“Yeah we’re meeting at a Hotel and will be taking only 5 guys since it’s a friendly visit”
“I want Spider and Hawk to go in early to make sure it’s not a trap”
I nod agreeing with him.
Rider
“Where is she?” I ask Bear who’s new job is to guard the door.
“With Doc”
“What” I grab him by the collar “what happen?” I’m furious. Someone’s gonna die if she got hurt
“Uhh..nothing..she’s just nauseous” he’s a stuttering mess
I immediately go to my baby girl needing to make sure she’s okay but before I can reach her, she see’s me and runs into my arms. She starts to cry burying her face on my chest. “Shh, shhh it’s okay. I’m here” I try to calm her down but she just holds me tighter.
“She’s fine just some nausea but she hasn’t been able to eat anything. Everything kinda makes her sick” Doc says to me
“I’m hungry” she sobs out
I pick her up “I’ll have Blade make you some tomato soup and salted crackers on the side. How does that sound baby girl?” I’m not a good cook but luckily Blade is and he’ll do anything for his lil sister.
“If she can’t stomach it down I’ll have to prescribe her some pills”
I nod and take her to our room but she refuses to let me go or to even lay her on the bed. “Baby girl, why are you still crying? Are you really that hungry?”
She shakes her head “ I’ve missed you…”
“Baby I’m here” I stroke her hair and rub her back.
“I’m sorry” she whispers
“For what?” It’s not her fault she’s sick (morning sickness)... Now I’m confuse
“For ig..ignoring y..you” she mumbles
I whip her tears and look into her beautiful baby blue eyes “It’s okay I’m just happy your not mad at me anymore. Maybe I was a little rash but it’s only because I want to keep you safe”
“I know” she rubs her eyes like a small child. she’s so adorable. I know mood swings are common during pregnancy so I don’t care if she needs some extra attention. She’s creating life inside her so if she needs to cry, scream, or throw a tantrum I’m okay with it. As long as she’s okay I’ll endure it all.
