Take the dress with yeh when yeh go home. His family will want to see yeh married also. – Nana Bee
Fiona opened the door to the small cottage that her daughter and Knuckles were staying in. The other Saints, Siobhan, Nana Bee, Emily and Charlotte followed her in.To the right of the front door was a small breakfast nook that led into a full open kitchen. To the left was a sitting area with an L-shaped gray couch and wooden rocking chair. Against the wall separating the single bedroom from the rest of the cottage, was a smart TV. A bookcase sat under it, filled with books about Scotland, the loch, local villages and landmarks and of course, Nessie, the monster not the woman.The far wall had floor to ceiling windows. In the center was a tall set of glass French doors with a transom above the doors. The transom held a stained-glass window of the Loch Ness Monster. The doors opened out to a private patio with lounge chairs and a low fireplace.The patio and cottage maHoly shit, this is how we got the term tying the knot. – WhipKnuckles stood by the stone alter that stood against the Eastern tree line. Moira had explained that their Coven was a Coven of light and the position of the sun had meaning to them. The rising sun meant new life where the setting sun indicated death. Because of this, bindings and blessings always occurred in the morning light. Funerals and severings occurred at twilight. Grandmother Olivia stood behind the alter, the rest of the Coven stood behind her. Family and friends stood in the open meadow. Several of the Saints had asked about standing for the ceremony and most of the Coven simply laughed at their concerns.“Our hand binding ceremony is not like your Christian weddings.” Siobhan finally explained. “Especially with Trigg in charge.”She had been helping them to put on their kilts and accessories. It was impressive that Nessie had contacted the shop, provided surnames and they provided the correct t
Grams always said that if anyone was still sober after her wake, do it again until we did it right. – Papa DeanThe day after the wedding, the family, coven and close friends gathered at the alter again. The simple wooden box containing Gram’s ashes sat on the alter and the group faced west. As the sun went down, a lone piper played a mournful tune.Grandmother Olivia stepped forward and placed Gram’s medallion on the box. “We are here to say goodbye to our sister, mother, grandmother, friend and confidant. She was our guiding light and the wisest of us all. She was also the oldest of us all. Blessed be, Mother.”Others stepped up and shared simple words and memories. Seanair placed a whiskey bottle next to the box and hoped that she would never be thirsty. “I’m going to miss yeh, mum.” Seanair said and Knuckles thought back to when he lost his own mother. Instinctively, Nessie moved closer to him and wrapped her arms around his waist. He hugged his wife close
Siobhan, is it bad that Fort Auggie doesn’t feel like home anymore? – NessieFour days later, they were back in the clubhouse. Werewolf checked in with his men on duty there and told them that he would be in the office tomorrow. Charlotte had taken the kids directly home where his youngest brother had been staying while they were gone.Emily got on the back of Whips bike and headed for Pop’s Place. Dom had a job and rode off in the opposite direction after long kisses with both of them. Lollipop headed to bed and asked one of the girls to join him. She said that she was in the kitchen for another two hours, but would find him after.Brody was completely confused over the changes at the clubhouse. The club girls no longer looked like whores. Old ladies and kids were hanging out and having lunch with their men. He turned to his dad who was checking in with his officers. Cookie stood up and opened his arms to give Siobhan a hug. Karan took the baby cooing at him.
A dark past doesna mean yeh can’na have a bright future. – NessieThe morning after their return, Nessie came in at her usual time and was surprised to find Zee already cooking. First batch of muffins were cooling on the rolling rack, a few strips of bacon were sizzling on the grill and fruit cups were being made.“Yer up early.” Nessie said heading straight for the grill.“I have an early riser.” Zee said as she heard coffee being poured in the dining hall. Nessie said nothing else as she removed the bacon and set it on the paper towels to cool. The kitchen door opened and a woman walked in. She stopped when she saw Nessie. Nessie looked her over and smiled. She was tall and skinny, almost too skinny. She had a short black Bob with a gray patch on her right side. Jeans and a blue Clubhouse polo indicated that she worked at the daycare. In red block letters, Miss Rye was embroidered on her chest. Even though she did not know the woman’s name, Nessie was su
Where do I find this hidden library? And do you think my wife has one? – KnucklesThe camera’s were off now; Knuckles knew this because the rules had changed. They were only on if Knuckles was not around. Trevor created an app so that they could control the cameras. He also embedded an alert and a virus. If anyone tried to hack the app, a virus was released into the hacker’s system. He could then track everything that was done and everywhere they went. If anyone other than Nessie or Knuckles tried to control the cameras, an alarm was triggered. Nessie also had an alarm on her phone and smart watch. It would trigger at the office, all three presidents and their officers and Knuckles. If it was determined to be a false alarm, they would be notified to stand down. If it was real, it would go out to all the members and old ladies. If they could respond they would immediately. Old ladies and kids were to go to their clubhouse which would go on lockdown. When asked
Every pregnancy is different. Brody, I puked every morning around seven. With James I was hospitalized twice. Gunner was just some nausea. – SiobhanNessie knew she was about six weeks pregnant. She had been having some nausea early in the morning, but nothing very serious. However, she knew that it could get worse at any point now.The smell of eggs still turned her stomach. She had Zee continue to do the morning omelets. No one thought much about this since she tried to teach her girls as much as possible. Yesterday morning, when she finally came into the kitchen, an hour later than usual, Nessie received a round of cheers from her girls. Rolling her eyes and laughing she told them all to get back to work. They all grumbled and she promised to give details later. With the kitchen under control, Nessie and her rolling stomach went out to the dining hall. Karan stopped her and was asking about changing the menu at the daycare. Currently, she didn’t care. “Make
That bitch, when you find her, I want to know. – ZeroThe clubhouse was buzzing with Nessie being sick and Doc kicking her out of her own kitchen. The old ladies were looking knowingly at each other. Her girls were pretty sure what was going on. The men were completely lost. Doc refused to give any information. Knuckles just shrugged and said that Doc was referring her to a specialist. Siobhan and Toad both remained silent since it was not their place. Lollipop and Brody were just as lost.Nessie hated the attention and hid either in the room or the office. Currently she sat in her office working on the orders for the clubhouse and the daycare.She kept in mind what Karan had told her yesterday morning. She had also received an email from her and Winona, the interim kitchen manager at the daycare. Adjusting the menu to the more popular items while still meeting the state nutrition requirements was harder than expected. She was going through her cook books
You said that you could make her come back to me. I’ll give you one more chance. Don’t fail, again. – PetrosToad was reading an article on the computer about the history of Harley Davidson. It was an older article, but still one of his favorites. An email popped up from Kitchen Manager. He thought that it was odd since Nessie would usually just call or walk over.He opened the email and began to read the thread starting at the bottom. Why was he included in this? The daycare food budget would take care of this.He skimmed over Nessie’s response of adjusting the recipes for the more popular foods. There were ways to add vegetables in the meats and breads.He clicked on a link for spaghetti with pureed vegetables in the sauce. Returning to the email he glanced at the other links. Then he noticed that the last paragraph ended mid sentence. Toad was about to reread the paragraph when his phone rang.Lost in thought he picked up his phone and answered barely loo
