Colt had given us a week, but in the last few weeks we'd been able to talk him down. He only gave in I know because we'd convinced him that we needed to save the other girls. The SEALs and Creed had headed back to their places as well as the others who'd come in to lend a hand. Now I was just waiting for word from Lo to see where we were. I jolted awake when she moved and jumped out of the other side of the bed to follow her into the bathroom. It had become our morning ritual. Her puking, me holding her hair back and soothing her.I cleaned her up and put her back into bed before heading to the kitchen to get her tea going. I placed a few crackers on a plate and waited for the water to boil. Once everything was ready I went back to her. It was the same shit different day. She went from green to bright pink full of health and ready to fuck my shit up with whatever she and her girls came up with."We have to find you a doctor." With everything that was going on I didn't feel comfor
I slipped out of the house after cleaning up and headed for Melissa's place where the others would be waiting. We'd been planning something for the past few weeks that I was sure would get all our tails in trouble with our men, but I was outvoted so it was either join them or be the odd man out.The smell of coffee hit me as soon as I went through the door and my mouth watered. I looked over my shoulder to make sure Lawton wasn't sneaking around behind me. Ever since he'd browbeaten me into taking a home pregnancy test he's been worse than the Gestapo."Don't even think about it. Your husband's already warned me that if anything happens to you during this pregnancy he's holding us responsible. Do you know he has a list of Do's and Don'ts?""You can't be serious." I reached for the list she had in her hand and read it over with dawning apprehension. "Dammit where did he get this?""Don't ask me, he got after Illyana about what she was doing during her pregnancy then he went on the n
Far from being upset Dana Sue was chomping at the bit to head to Lyon's place. I had the boys getting the place prepared for our absence. Brandon had had words with the grand fuckwit while the rest of us watched. We'd finally let him know that we had his daughter and granddaughter, but we kept back the news of her lineage for now.He made a lot of noise and threw around some threats but we just laughed at his ass. He wasn't giving up anything on his nephew, Stockton and claimed not to know anything about the trafficking or why more than ten girls from this area had been in that damn book. Since we didn't believe his ass I decided to keep him and let the others go with a warning. I wasn't expecting any trouble out of them since they had twenty-four hours to head out of town or bear the consequences. Now I had something else to deal with."I called this meeting because we have a problem. My wife is pregnant as well as yours Brand. We know they're up to some shit but as long as they c
I sized him up, taking everything in. He was well dressed, well groomed and very polished. He spoke with a cultured voice and I guess anyone meeting him on the road would see exactly what he portrayed to the world. A businessman."I have to be gone in about an hour so if there're any questions let's get them out of the way.""Why? You'll just tell us they're of no consequence.""Justice, how are you?""I'm cool, nice to finally meet the man behind the name, now you wanna tell us what the fuck we're dealing with here?"He studied every man in the room without saying a word and I guess that was too much for Lyon. "Bro put up or get to wherever the fuck you need to be early. I don't have time for games and I sure as fuck don't have any to waste." "I get it, you're good at whatever the fuck it is you do, but so am I, and every man in this room. Your name came from someone I trust, that's the only reason I haven't capped your ass for sneaking into my house."He grinned and looked at
In the end we had a good time. When the boys and I weren't having secret meetings we were making our women happy. We only had to take them to task once when we overheard them talking about shit they shouldn't know about.Dana Sue was even bolder now that she had new recruits for her crew. They basically told us that they weren't putting up with our silence anymore and we had a battle on our hands.By the time we left the women had bonded so now we had four sets to worry about containing instead of one each. The SEALs seemed to think they could control their women but from what I saw I wasn't so sure.We left and headed for home in a much lighter mood so I was in no way ready to deal with finding the asshole sheriff at my gate."What the fuck does this hump want now? I thought I told you to stay the fuck off my property." I hopped off my ride and walked over to put my face in his. He had brought three cars with him, what the fuck?The short fuck squared his shoulders and gave me a
"Well shit!" I heard her screams as I paced back and forth outside the closed bedroom door. Everyone else on the ranch was either outside in the yard or in my living room waiting for news, except my brother Kyle, my cousin Travis, and my friends Brand and Clay who were leaning against the wall across from the door watching me.I felt like an extra in a bad Western movie or some shit. If it were not bad enough that Dana Sue had gone into labor damn near in the middle of the night, she'd also have to choose a night when it was hotter than hell and I'd been out on one of my seek and destroy missions.It's sheer luck that I'd made it back in time to be here for her when she needs me, only now Doc Sommers and her old ass refused to let me into the room. Barred from my own fucking bedroom, ain't this a bitch.All the other women were in there holding her hand but me the husband and father had been relegated to pacing the hallway. Apparently I was making a nuisance of myself.Not sure wha
"Colton come on we've got to go, get a move on.""I thought that was next week!" She had me halfway out the door but I was still dragging ass."I'm very sorry oh mighty one, that Dana Sue and her baby decided to offset your schedule; had something more pressing to take care of did you?" The older she gets the more she loses her damn mind."You sure the kids are going to be okay?" She rolled her eyes at me and opened the door, like she was going to leave me if I didn't get the lead out. "They're fine, they have all their grandparents to look out for them; now come on it's not like this is the first time we're doing this."She had a point; and this is the reason I don't like this friend shit, when the fuck did I become 'that guy'? Kat and her shit. I've been in and out of Georgia more in the last year that I have in all my life put together. Each time a kid dropped she had to be there. Her ass should've taken midwife classes. Then again, nine kids, so."I don't see why I need to be
I looked at my watch for the tenth time in five minutes. Time seemed to be at a standstill just when I need that shit to move faster. She'd been in there for hours, her screams getting louder until she was hoarse."Come on brother, she's going to be fine. We did everything right." Kyle clapped me on the shoulder as the others nodded and put in their two cents. Clay and Brand ran through all the things we'd done to make the place ready for the babies and their safety on top of all the shit we've had to do to make sure our women were safe as well. It's true that the guys and I have had many a late night sit down about the changes we're gonna have to make around here when the babies come. I don't mind admitting that I've had a sleepless night or two over the idea of being a father, something I got used to the bigger she got.But right now I'm sweating for a whole other reason. Something that scares me more than all the other bullshit I've been dealing with after coming back home to cl
