I was sitting in a back booth at the diner waiting for Ailee to show up for our lunch. I didn’t pick this place, Ailee did. I would have met her anywhere she wanted to go but she insisted she was craving their loaded fries. And now that she can eat better there was no way I was going to try to change her mind. And I like it here so that is a plus. Actually the plus is that I’m having lunch with my daughter. I have spent time with her the past two months in and out of the hospital. There were always several people around. This time I get to have her all to myself. I know Callen will be with her as usual but I doubt he will sit with us. I noticed that Finn and Callen will always be close by but they give Ailee as much privacy as they can. I have been looking forward to this all week. That is the main reason I’m here ten minutes early. I coul

Lug Nut I was standing in the shower leaning my head against the wall . I had the massaging shower heads aimed at my neck to work the aches out of it. We had a big show coming up and Lilly was working us like crazy. I would never say anything to her because without her there is no way we would be as big as we are now. But moving all the equipment can make all your muscles hurt. I know Lilly must be feeling it as well because she works just as hard if not harder than the rest of us. I hope Tank is taking care of her. You are probably wondering why I haven’t asked Ailee to rub my neck. Don’t get me wrong she would if I asked. She has volunteered several times and she is good at it. But when she gets her hands on me it is never just a mas

Ailee The wedding date is set and plans are being made. I can’t believe in six months time I will be Mrs. Travis Leblanc. I can’t wait. We are getting married in the fall. My favorite time of year. I love to see the leaves change. If it wasn’t for me agreeing to my grandda’s wishes for me to have a traditional Irish ceremony I would have married Lug the day after he proposed. I’m ready to be his in every way. And I know ma would have wanted too. Grandda and da hired a wedding planner to help with the arrangements so I don’t have to stress much. She takes my ideas and transforms them for me. Lug and I just have to show up for certain things like tastings and fittings when she tells us. I like it. I did make it known I wanted some

Lug Nut Watching Ailee get marked was a dream come true. Just one more step to making her all mine. The last thing is getting my ring on her finger. And that isn’t very far off. Six months isn’t long compared to the lifetime we are going to spend together. I’m not paying attention to Mick. The guy working on my tattoo. He has done some of my work before so I’m not worried. My eyes are glued to Tank and Ailee. Not that I don’t trust him. I trust the man with my life and my girl. I just like seeing Ailee’s tattoo come to life. Merigold has customized all the tattoos for the ol’e ladies but this one Ailee put in her thoughts as well. Most ol’e ladies have the tattoo on their back or chest. Not my girl. She had Merigold make a gauntlet that starts from her wrist and goes about six inches up and wraps around her arm.

Ailee Today I’m at the bakery for a cake tasting. I wish Lug were here with me but the band is cramming in one final rehearsal before tomorrow's show. I understand how important the band is and these shows are. I got Lug’s thoughts on the cake. He didn’t really care about the design but the filling he said as long as it wasn’t lemon or Bavarian cream he was happy. And he didn’t want chocolate cake. The rest was up to me. I don’t have a problem with that. Besides I brought back up with me. The door chimes as we walk in and I see the wedding planner is waiting for us. I look around to get a good look at the place. The walls are painted a pale green with lavender trim. There are six glass cases filled with what looks like every treat imag

Lug Nut We are in our best form tonight for the concert. Lilly is blowing them away with her voice and dancing even her pregnant belly isn’t stopping the fans from fawning over her. We are playing at the fair grounds to the biggest audience we have ever played for. This place is packed. When Lilly had told us about playing here I had my doubts about it. I didn’t think we could fill a venue this large but I did have faith in Lilly. She told us it didn’t matter if we filled it or not. We had loyal fans that would come and the only thing that mattered was the cause we were performing for. We are participating in a school fundraiser to help sports and music programs. Several schools around the area have booths set up from food, arts and crafts, gaming booths and auction items to help raise money to keep these programs running.

Ailee The feeling I kept having that something was going to happen increased as we got to the clubhouse. But when I set my eyes on the sweet face of Katrina the feeling vanished in the air. I could see my poor Lug was lost in his head after finding out his cousin had died. Then to find out he was the legal guardian to her baby was too much for him. So I did what any good wife would do. I stepped in and took charge. I did leave most of the decision on whether or not we would care for the wee lass up to him. If he wasn’t on board I couldn’t do it for him. I was happy he chose to take custody of Katrina. I couldn’t bear the thought of her going to foster care. Don’t get me wrong I had the same fears as Lug on whether or not we

Lug Nut I woke up the next morning and I immediately knew something was off. First, Ailee’s side of the bed was cold. I look over and see Katrina isn’t in her playpen. How did I not hear them moving around? I never heard Kartina wake up last night. Did she sleep through the night or did Ailee attend to her while I was sleeping? Man, I’m slacking at this dad thing and it is only the first night. I toss the comforter off me and get out of bed. After using the bathroom I throw on some sweat pants and go hunting down my girls. My girls, I think to myself. Wow. I’m a dad now. And I’m about to be a husband. And I’m not freaking out. Ailee had talked about having children but I figured it would be a little ways down the road. I would get a year, maybe two of having Ailee all to myself. But life is strange. You never know what it is going to throw at you. I may not be sure what I’m doing but taking Katrina is never going to be a mistake. I walked down the hall to the living room. Off to th

Ailee After breakfast we all went to the living room to chat. More Like Lug and I were talking grandda and Anna were focused on playing with Katrina. I was watching Katrina not that I would ever be worried about her with grandda. He helped raise me into the woman I am today so I know Katrina is in good hands. I’m also paying attention to the way Anna and grandda are behaving with each other. The easy Anna was snuggled up against Cormac’s side. Her head on his shoulder as they played with Katrina. The sweet smiles grandda keeps giving Anna. I know I saw something when I woke up in the cleanroom months ago but they avoided the question. Everything got busy after that and since I didn’t see them together I have forgotten what I had seen. But not anymore. I want answers this time. And I’m going to get them. “ Are you finally going to tell me what is going on with you two? Or do I need to investigate myself?” I asked. It is clear they are interested in each other. I think it is wond

Ailee It has been a little over two years since I walked into the Reckless Renegades clubhouse looking for my father. In my wildest dreams could I have thought of all the changes in my life that have happened since that day. I am cancer free. I have my da in my life. I have gained more family members than I know what to do with but wouldn’t trade for anything in this world. I have an incredible, sexy as hell husband. We have two wonderful kids and are talking about adding a third. The O’Sullivan family is going strong. Grandda married Anna in a small ceremony after Lug and I got back from our honeymoon. I haven’t seen him that happy in a long time. Recently he has started training Lug and me to take over. He says he wants to retire to spend time with Anna and his great grandkids while he is still young enough to enjoy them. The O’Sullivan trafficking organization is unfortunately going strong. I say unfortunately because that means sex trafficking is still going strong as well. The

Lug Nut Our trip to Ireland was incredible. It started on the private plane Cormac chartered for us. The plane was huge and we had it all to ourselves except for the pilot and stewardess. And she pretty much left us alone. I think she was a little frightened of Ailee so she stayed away as much as possible. Both the pilot and stewardess addressed her as queen so they knew who she was. The plane was so large each seat and there were only eight was the size of an oversized recliner. And you could lay them back to a twin size bed to take a nap if you wanted to. It had a small kitchen with a mini stove, microwave and mini fridge. The part I liked the most was the full bathroom and bedroom. The pilot told us it would take at least ten hours to get to Dublin so I knew I was going to use that time wisely. While Ailee was talking to the pilot I asked the stewardess to make some snacks and bring some bottles of water to the room for us. Turns out Cormac had hooked us up and had champagne, str

Ailee After we got to the reception the first thing we did was pose for pictures. I wanted a bunch with everyone. My ma loved taking pictures. She said it helped preserve memories. So we could look back and remember our times together. I thought it was silly but we had fun so I never said anything. After she was gone those pictures became more important so I carried on taking pictures. And this is just another day I want to be able to look back on. I want to remember my grandda smiling and laughing with the club and members of our group. I want to remember Katrina giggling and playing with her cousins. I want to remember the kids running around like maniacs on a sugar high. I want to look back and remember the look of pure love in Tank’s eyes as he dances with Lilly. All those memories are a once in a lifetime shot so I have two photographers for the reception capturing as much as possible. I was talking with Gretchen when the D.J came over the mic “ Ladies and gentlemen please w

Lug Nut I’m in place at the front of the church with my best man Axel and groomsmen Rowdy and Tank. I can’t stop myself from looking around and thinking about the phone call I got earlier. I can’t believe Ailee was worried I wouldn’t show. Wild horses couldn’t stop me from coming today. I will admit a small part of me was worried Ailee would show. I kept thinking she would figure out that she was marrying down while I was marrying up. The church was decorated tastefully. The pews had fall leaves and ribbons on the end. There was an archway that I was standing under covered in leaves and the ribbons were the club colors. I wouldn’t think they would go together but they did. It was sweet that Ailee tried to include part of my life in the ceremony. But I should have expected anything less from her. I look out at our guests and see Ailee’s side is packed and overflowing to the side for my family. There are even people standing around the back and side. Some are guests, some are guards

Ailee I can’t believe this day is finally here. I’m getting married to my Lug. I’m going to be Mrs. Travis O’Sullivan-LeBlanc. I can’t help but giggle to myself. Last night was rough. Lug and I spent our first night away from each other since the night I went into the hospital over eight months ago. Grandda didn’t have a problem with us living together but he did say that we should spend the night before the wedding apart. You know the whole the groom can’t see the bride before the wedding thing. I wasn’t a fan of the suggestion but Lug thought we should go with grandda’s wishes. So I sucked it up for one night. Lug went to the clubhouse and Katrina and I stayed at the condo. I tossed and turned all night, not used to sleeping alone. So I got Katrina and brought her into bed with me so I could sleep. I know you aren’t supposed to do that but I was very cautious. The ol’e ladies came over early this morning to help me gather everything I needed to go to the church. Anna was meeting us

Lug Nut In two weeks I’m marrying the love of my life and I can’t wait. Part of me wishes we had just eloped and got it over with. I’m so ready to have Ailee carry my last name. But I know this ceremony is important to her and her family. And the wedding plans haven’t been that big of a deal. The wedding planned took care of most everything. I was worried what planning this wedding would do to Ailee. I didn’t want her stressing out. Or turning into a bridezilla horror story. But I should have had more faith in my girl. She was never going to turn into a bitch. But I’ll fill you in on the wedding when it gets here. Today is another important day. More for Ailee than me. I’m at the club with Katrina. Ailee is at the doctor for her six month check up. I wanted to go with her but Cormac, Callen and Finn were going. Anna and I agreed to stay with Katrina. I was at the house waiting for Ailee but I was going crazy just sitting there. I know Anna wasn’t doing much better. So when Merigold

Ailee Three weeks have passed since wee Katrina came into our lives. It has taken some adjusting and juggling schedules but we have made it work. With tons of help of course. We now have an extra bodyguard when we leave the house. Thanks to grandda, Mitch’s sole job is to protect Katrina when we go out. We are mafia. We have many enemies. Especially when we shut down a trafficking ring. So we are always careful. Lucky so far I haven’t been called on to the ice queen. I dread coming back to Katrina after doing that. I know Lug would take care of her while I come back to myself. I just don’t want her to see me like that. Not for a while at least. I won’t be able to keep it from her forever. But until she is much older I want to shield it from her. More changes is that Lug and I have had to be careful about making out wherever we want. We still kiss and hug in front of Katrina. She loves it. She giggles every time Lug kisses me and makes kisses faces so we have to give her kisses too

Lug Nut Ailee and Anna sat on the floor playing with Katrina. Cormac and I were sitting on the couch talking about what room we were going to change into a nursery. “ Anna, do you think it is too late to find a dress for Katrina for the wedding? Something that matches the flower girls.” Ailee asked. It was sweet that Ailee was trying to include Katrina. We could have dressed her up and had someone hold Katrina during the ceremony but that wasn’t enough for Ailee. She was trying to include as many family members as possible. She had Jace and Jax as mini ushers to be helped by Finn and Callen. Ford is too young to help out. Kadance, Kassidy and Alana as flower girls. Bastian is the ring bearer. Merigold, Lilly, Speed and Gretchen are bridesmaids. She has most of the club included in one way or another. Ailee hasn’t said it outright but I know she is doing most of it for me. She wants the wedding to be equal parts for both of us. I personally don’t care as long as at the end of the day
