Is it possible to die of boredom? Contact the health department and the CDC. I may be the first recorded case. – EvieIt had been expected. First full pregnancy. Twins. Gestational diabetes. And now her blood pressure was doing weird things. When the doctor ordered bed rest, Evie had been prepared. Lesson plans were ready to be emailed. Long term sub had already committed. Classes were warned ahead of time. Everything was set for the rest of the school year. By day two, Evie was bored to tears. By day four, she had babysitters. Technically, they were nurses and old ladies that came to make sure she stayed off her feet and ate what she was supposed to. Which, in her book, was the equivalent of babysitters. Especially since she was no longer allowed to eat a whole box of cookies by herself. Or a serving of fried potato slices. Certainly not a family order.Becks and Siobhan started dropping by. As did other old ladies. With nothing else to do, Evie started decorating the nursery. Wh
Twas the night before Christmas Eve and all through the clubhouse, we mourned two more brothers. – ToadKirsten walked into the clubhouse bar and went straight to her husband. He quickly made the club bunny get up and his wife settled into his lap. Moving her signature lime green box braids off her shoulder, she eyed the other woman. Where Kristen was tall, skinny and dark, the bunny was short, plump and pale. The other woman had light brown hair that lay in waves down her back and pale green eyes that appraised Kristen also.The two women were similarly dressed with short skirt and tight shirt. The bunny wore heels and Kristen wore knee high boots. “She’s pretty.” Kirsten said and Reed agreed with her. “She didn’t go very far, did she?”Reed turned and looked at the bunny who smiled at him. "Nope." He smiled and winked at her.“If I could get your mother to be more like that, I’d be a damned happy man.” Roscoe said. “You like your hall passes.” Reed said. “I do.” Roscoe admitted
I became a biker but it seems I should have been a priest. Pretty sure bikers have more sex. – TriggToad’s office was commandeered for their use. Kirsten made a few last-minute adjustments to the new corset and old dress. With her makeup done, hair styled and dress on, her sisters handed Evie over to their dads. With a few kisses and tears, they went and found their seats. Katie and Law would be her only attendants.Law offered to wear a dress and heels. His sister declined, afraid that he would look better than herself. “How are you feeling?” Isaac asked his daughter when she stepped out into the hall. “Do you want me to tell you that I feel wonderful? Or that I feel like a beached whale?” she asked with her hands on her large belly. “A beluga whale because it’s white-ish.”“Should we worry that she’s getting specific about what type of whale she feels like?” Isiah asked his brother.“I would worry more if she didn’t feel like a whale. But I would have gone with a sperm whale bec
It’s what every man dreams of for a honeymoon. A bride six months pregnant with twins and on bedrest. – EvieWhile the clubhouse was in full party mode downstairs, the bride and her two grooms were upstairs. Evie lay between them with her swollen feet propped on their legs. There was a soft knock on the door and Isaac stepped inside.“How are you feeling, little Eves?” he asked his daughter as he looked at her ankles.“Not very little.” She admitted as she struggled to sit up.There was another knock on the door and Doc entered with Dr. Barkley. The three men spoke for a moment and then Doc left. He returned a moment later with his backpack. “Going to check your blood pressure and all that stuff.” Doc said as Ink rolled off the bed giving the other man room to work. He checked her vitals and then reported them to the two doctors.“You’re going to have to stay off your feet and come lay down if you feel tired.” Dr. Barkley advised. “That’s not a problem.” Tank said as he also stood u
I can’t think of the last time I had all my kids at Christmas. Best. Christmas. Ever. – DixieTank deposited Evie in the recliner that a couple of prospects moved into the kitchen. Dixie chased the men out of the room and soon it was filled with feminine laughter and conversations. With Dixie and her daughters and Nessie and her girls working in the kitchen, they quickly turned out enough breakfast burritos for a small army. Or a clubhouse full of bikers. As soon as Katie took the last tray out to the dining room, they shifted gears. The pork and beef roasts were quickly shredded. Nessie wasn’t sure that they would need to smoke six of each, but Dixie had insisted. Evie talked her mom into making her a plate of street tacos. On the second plate, Dixie told her she would just have to wait for the tamales. Grumbling, Evie ate her second helping, approaching her food coma limit. By ten, the tamales were cooking and Evie was asleep in her recliner. Dixie laughed as Tank carried her to
I love you both, but get these babies out of me. – EvieThe new year came and her family all went home. Cade’s birthday passed with Evie still on bedrest. Valentine’s Day passed in much the same way.Early one morning in mid February, a pain ripped across Evie’s back. Within minutes, her men had her loaded up in the gray charger and headed to the hospital. Athos followed in the blue charger with the installed car seats. And the hospital bags. Because neither of the expectant fathers thought past getting their woman to the hospital. Within an hour, the whole club knew that she was in labor. It wasn’t long after that when Dixie landed at the municipal airport. There were definite advantages of Tammie being a pilot with her own plane.Siobhan drove them to the hospital and they all went to the maternity waiting room on the fourth floor. Before noon both boys were born by C-section due to complications. It was the same complication that would drive the two brothers for the rest of thei
I don’t care what you do during homeroom. Just check in with me. Let me know what you’re having for lunch. – Evie Evie was an unconventional teacher. She was aware of this, and did not care. Her students scored high on tests. Not just in her class, but other classes and the MCAS, the Massachusetts standardized test.It was no surprise that when classes went virtual, hers continued to be unconventional. Today classes resumed after what she had referred to as longest spring break in her entire life. Three weeks. Taz’s daughter-in-law still had family in Europe. So did Nessie and Siobhan. They both had already lost family members. Doc, a few nurses and one doctor were sharing a three bedroom apartment. They were rotating through the rooms on shifts. Evie thought that there six or seven of them all together. They were working extended shifts and trying to minimize exposure to family members. Especially those with kids, elderly and at-risk people. Everything was topsy-turvy in the wo
That depends. Which dad are you going to call? – CamdenMiss Jackson sat in her colorful kindergarten class at the only adult sized desk. At the knock on the door, she looked up to see a man who had tattoos on almost every visible inch of skin. The twins both looked up and smiled. “Boys.” Ink said and they both turned back to their coloring. “Miss Jackson.”“Mr. Reagan?” she asked standing up and offering a hand. “One of them.” He confirmed accepting her hand. “I’m Ink, Tank and our wife are on their way.”A look of confusion crossed the teachers face as another biker entered the room. Both boys looked up and at the cocked eyebrow, they slumped down in their chairs. “Miss Jackson, I’m Tank.” The larger man said offering her a hand. “Where’s Evie?” Ink asked. “I’m here.” Evie said walking in with a very upset two-year old Monica. The tiny brunette reached for her dads. Tank was the first one to take her and she settled against his chest and began to suck her thumb.“Sorry, she has
