"I like the color pink now." Adrianna says to me for the eighth time in a row. I look up from my coffee and turn to her sitting on the dining room table coloring. Her hair is messy, and she has giant purple pajamas on. She turns to look at me and my heart nearly falls out of my chest.

It's been two days since everything happened at the hospital with Shawna and Max. They were released yesterday, and Lyla and I went by to see them. Max seems a little better, but Shawna still has a lot to deal with. It nearly broke me when I walked past the nursery they had set up in light gray's and yellows that I had to close the door.

I've also thought a lot about what Lyla told me that dreadful day at the hospital. She shook with nerves while telling me and I can only imagine how she thought I was going to react. I kept in all my anger at the fact that this douchebag is now in Adrianna's life. At first, I was angry that Lyla would take a child away from their father, but after hearing her con

    LylaTardiness has always been a weakness of mine. It's not something I have ever done on purpose, but being a single mother, with a job that requires you to spend twelve hours helping to save lives, sometimes makes it a little hard to be on time for everything else.I check the time on my dash once more as I pull into the courthouse parking lot. It's twelve twenty-seven and court started at twelve o'clock. After everything that has been happening lately and Shane not being around for the last couple days, it was a little hard to get out of the house leaving Miles with Adrianna. I trust him, but Adrianna was questioning why Shane still hadn't come back to us.Knowing there was someone from another MC watching our house is enough to have me worrying over Adrianna while I'm at work. Shane hasn't completely ignored us, he's called each night which I'm grateful for. He was listening when I told him to at least keep in contact with me. Shane told me about needing some space and as much as I

    Shane"Because I'm the oldest, I should always be entitled to get the last one.""That's a bunch of bullshit if I've ever heard any.""Look you little shit, mom made these cookies because Candy told her she had been wanting some. My woman, my cookies."I roll my eyes as Austin and Max go back and forth for the hundredth time about these goddamn cookies. Normally I would simply walk in, grab the last one they always fight about, and end that shit right then and there causing an uproar between the two brothers, but tonight I have no strength. Since the moment Lyla broke me in half last night, I have been walking around with a stick up my ass. I decided to come with Max and Austin to visit their mother Julia. Partly, to get out, and partly because I could never say no to seeing Julia. She was there for me when the cruelty of my father's life ending was too much to bear and my mother was too busy latching onto whoever gave her attention.Julia is a strong woman, someone I have always felt

    Lyla"And so now he is requesting full custody. I swear Candy, I could hunt him down, and stuff in a mailbox.""I'm so sorry Lyla. And on top of that Adrianna is still sick?""Yes." I answer, placing the phone to my other ear so I can make my second cup of coffee of the day. "She isn't getting any better and I have to work tonight.""Well why don't I take your shift?""I can't ask that of you honey.""You're not. I'm your best friend Lyla, or at least I better be¡­. I am, aren't I?" I throw my head back and laugh, something that feels foreign to do. It's been so long so I've been myself that I feel like I'm in a black hole."Of course, you are. I hate to do that when I could use the money for this custody battle, but I would love a day where I can just take care of her ya know?""Take the day Lyla, you've been covering for me for the last few weeks, so I can do wedding stuff, this is the least I can do.""Thank you, Candy. I owe you one." I say then peak into Adrianna's room. The room

    ShaneAnger and frustration work their way equally through my body as I try and comprehend someone speaking in front of me."Shane, we need you to concentrate brother." Austin says but my eyes keep wondering over to the destruction of the house the woman I loved called home. "C'mon brother, snap out of it. We need to work together on this."My gaze follows to the small little mermaid blanket crumbled to the floor, a small rabbit doll next to it. There are red marks on it from the time Adrianna thought she would try to put her mother's nail polish on her furry best friend."Tell me we got somethin'." I whisper starring at the chaos near the door where it's clear there was a struggle.She fought for her daughter.She fought them."Torque might have something, he said he was able to tap into the street lights and is looking for any suspicious vehicles, including the one that followed her the other day. In the meantime, we need to get out of here brother. We don't know if the neighb

    LylaMy back slides down the door as exhaustion sets in.I have been banging my fists on the door for the last hour. Every second that has ticked by has heightened my anxiety. Adrianna. All I can think about is my poor daughter, sick, crying out for her mommy. The fear she must be riddled with gives me the strength I have to continue. I slowly get up, still aching from the beating I received from Griz and begin slamming on the door once more.After a few minutes and a bloody set of knuckles, I hear some commotion echoing off the walls. I quickly stand, holding my cold body with my arms and back up. Griz walks in the room with a menacing smirk and slowly walks over to me. I step backwards until my body hits the wall with him looming over me."Want your daughter?" My eyes go wide and although I don't trust him completely, I can't pass up the opportunity to see Adrianna."Yes, please. Please, I will do anything. Just let me see her." He nods his head and grabs hold of my wrist tightl

    ShaneI hold Lyla as she wails on my cut. The pain I hear in her cry is enough to create my own tears."He was drunk. He never ever got that bad, but this night, he was completely wasted. I kept telling him repeatedly, that I didn't want it, but he wouldn't listen. I have never been hit that hard in my life." She sniffles, and I tighten my hold on her."What happened babe?""I was tired, he had kept hitting me and I didn't want to be hurt anymore. He's hurt me before, but nothing like that night. I let him do whatever he wanted that night, then he proceeded to pass out. As soon as I realized he was asleep, I ran out of there and straight for my mom's. I told her everything, and she didn't believe me. Figured I was acting out. Accused me of acting like that since we had gotten engaged. A blind man could tell I was only marrying Rory because it was what everyone expected of me. Our families were lifelong friends and partners. My family needed the money, and the Mitchelson's needed th

Adrianna says as she begins doing her potty dance that always has Shane busting at the seams with laughter. "But, I do now. Can't granny take me?"I stand up, adjusting my dress, then look down at my daughter. It's Christmas eve, and as amazing as this day has been, it's been equal parts hectic. Today marks project 'just get down the aisle already'.After everything happened a few months ago with Adrianna's kidnapping, so much has happened. Candice wanted to postpone the wedding, but Shawna and I pulled her to the side and told her that she needed to just have the wedding she wanted and be done with it.So here we are, on Christmas eve, locked in Shane's old room at the clubhouse, getting dressed.

Three days ago, my mommy and I went and visited daddy at the clubhouse. I love being there, and even though Max, Austin and Shane are a lot older than me, they play with me and buy me stuff all the time. Mommy and I were getting ready to head to the kitchen so that we can get some food ready for the men, when we heard daddy yelling.There was a loud noise after that and then a lot of people running in the clubhouse. That's pretty normal, but that day was anything but. They grabbed mommy and I, then put a gun to my head. I was so scared. I kept crying and screaming while the guy holding mommy was getting mad at me. I couldn't stop. There was so much noise. People yelling, daddy yelling, me screaming and mom just sitting there.

Throwing those in the machine and pressing the start button, I run over to the living room and clean up all the baby toys that are scattered around it.Cursing when I check the time noticing that Chance should be here any minute I grumble my father's name when I think of why I am cleaning last minute. I had spent the entire morning over at his house, because he said there were some things he wanted to talk to me about. Turns out, he just wanted to tell me that he wasn't sure about going to the Christmas party that we practically created for him. It took me almost three hours to talk him into going and another forty minutes yelling at him for being so stubborn."Damn stubborn biker." Another grumble comes out of me as I make a bee line towards the kitchen to put away another random dish left out on the sofa. Normally C

    Lyla"But they're a bunch of bikers." Rolling my eyes, I pause as my hand grips the handle to the oven."Yes mom, and they've invited you to come to their Christmas party." Pulling open the oven door, I turn and grab the two sheets of cookies with both hands as I maneuver the phone between my shoulder and ear. "Mom, look I know this is a little different, but this was the first year the club had no drama and they wanted to celebrate as a family." I won't tell her some of that drama included myself, mom already has a hard enough time with the fact that Adrianna hangs around the clubhouse after what happened to her."I don't know, maybe just you and your family can go, and I'll stay with Lisa and her wife.""Mom, Lisa is going and she's bringing Lizzy." Shutting the oven door, I lean back against the counter placing one hand on my hip while the other now cradles the phone.I have been trying to get mom to accept the fact that she is apart of our family, but she still gives us the dist

    ShawnaMy body moves through the rhythm of the song as Believer by Imagine Dragons booms loudly through the speakers aligning each wall. My head swings around as my body bends down to the level I need it to go, all while keeping my posture tight. I end it hard stomping on the ground, keeping my face down and hat titled to the side when the song ends on a hard beat.Smiling up at my class I relish in their applause as April, my assistant walks over to me with a towel and my water bottle.Taking them both with gratitude, I remove the hat, damping my face with the towel then swing it around my shoulder, just before draining half the bottle of cold water. Handing the hat over to April I look around and watch as everyone begins grouping together and working on the moves I've just shown them."That was great.""Thanks" I smile up at her, pleased with myself that I kept the routine exactly the way I had envisioned it. I had debated whether or not I was even going to make a routine to t

Looking down I count the steps of the ladder, only to realize I'm on the last one.Damn my short legs.Eyeing the top cap, I wonder for a brief moment if I could balance on it, just long enough to hang up this last bundle of lights that I have bunched tightly in my hands."Come on Candy, it's just like another step." I whisper, attempting to motivate myself. Shutting my eyes and counting to three, I jump up placing one foot on the top then startle when I feel two hands wrap around my ass, pulling me down the ladder and onto the ground."Babe, what the hell are you doing?" Austin grunts and I smile up at him while balancing my hands on his chest. My heart is still pounding from my near death sudden decision so I catch my breath, counting once again before I could speak."Trying to hang up this last strand. I was able to do all the o

    AbbyI clutch onto Chance's waistline as he speeds up, passing all the familiar surroundings. It's been over a year since we have been home, and it's been the most amazing year of my life.Chance and I have been traveling all over the country and have recently decided to make a permanent home back here in New York, surrounded by everyone we love. My web design business grew even larger when I was able to travel and meet new clients. I don't regret my decision to leave nursing and the money is just as great.I lay my head on his back once again, smiling with excitement as I see the same long street that leads up to the compound. Going nomad has been the best thing to ever happen to Chance. He is not only happier, but lighter. Darkness and guilt no longer lead him, he takes everyday as its own and always appreciates each day as it is. We've seen much, lived a lot and met a lot of new friends. Chance was even able to track down his parents after they moved to Florida to retire. The r

I stare down at the small seashell, twiddling it back and forth as I listen to Austin speak.It's been two days since everything went down at the clubhouse and everything feels completely different.Bone is no longer in the ICU. He's still bound to the hospital, but Abby and Julia have gone to see him each day to keep him calm and in the loop. Abby is going strong, I think being close to death has given her voice a push. She and Bone have a much better relationship now and he respects us being together.The FBI told us that we were in the clear, they found all the information to prove our innocence, including six cops coming forward with facts about what Alberts had either promised them, or threatened them with. We were simply in the way of the drug trade. We no longer deal, that much everyone knew, but he knew enough about the clubs that if he was able to get rid of Snake and the King

    AbbyMy knees bounce, sobs wrecking my body. I rock back and forth, worry borrowing its way deep down inside my mind. The doctors words as they rushed my father into surgery repeat in my head over and over again."We think one of the bullets is lodged in his lungs."I woke on the way to the hospital, my head on Chance's lap as Shane drove us behind the ambulance. I was worried for my father, but my following questions were about everyone else. Chance explained that the FBI of all people helped us, and that the Alberts brothers were the only causalities. I was so worried about everyone, but it looks like Austin saw them coming from the back of the clubhouse on one of the monitors Torque had set up.They were desperate. That's the only way this all made sense. We were close to getting to them, and with Domingo after them as well, they took their last opportunity.I spot Chance walking towards me; his long strides quicken when he sees my state.
