The circle is a little smaller today. Two people who have been in my group since I got here got to go home. Looking down at my engagement and wedding rings, I'm hit with a longing to see Dalton and Walker again. A type of longing I haven't felt in years.

It could be the new medication they have me on to control my mood swings, or it could be that I'm finally coming out from underneath this dark cloud I've been under for so long.

"When was the first time you realized you weren't like everybody else?"

The leader of our circle asks the question, and I do like I've done every day since I got here a week ago - I truly think about it. I close my eyes and settle into the question, giving it a few moments to dig itself into my conscience and then answer it truthfully. When it comes to my turn, I speak slowly.

"The day my mom was served papers saying that they were going to take our house." I clasp my hands together in front of me. "Things had been rough prior to that. Me and

    Dalton"Are you sure?" I question both Wild and Addie, cocking my head to the side. "He should be asleep the rest of the night. The medicine they gave him really knocks him out, and he hasn't had a fever in almost forty-eight hours. I don't think he's contagious anymore.""Dalton." Addie grins, putting a hand on my shoulder. "We got this. You go do what you need to."What I need to do and what I want to do are two totally different things. I need to take my shift at Wet Wanda's, but I'd much rather stay here, at the clubhouse with my son. Since Mandy left, we've been staying in my dorm. Partly because I can't stand to be in the house without her.Partly because I need help, and it's easier to get it when you're around everyone at the same time. "If you need anything, give me a call, I'll have my cell on."Wild clears his throat. "Like I said, we can definitely use the practice."My whole body softens as I look down at Addie. I can remember her being a toddler, Drew

    DaltonEntering Wet Wanda's is almost like coming home. Weird, I know, but I've spent so much of my life in this place. The dark, hazy atmosphere is exactly what I need right now. Smoking hasn't been allowed in Bowling Green bars for years, but here people do whatever the hell they want to. You've gotta respect people who give a middle finger to what's supposed to be right, and just do what they want.Drew is standing in the corner, his arms folded over his chest, nodding at something Jagger's saying. Walking over to them, I wait until there's a lull in the conversation."How's it going tonight?""Getting busier." Drew chews on a piece of gum. "But it's still early. Jagger and I were talking about a possible new recruit.""Oh yeah?" I turn to the other member of the club.He's older than us, but you'd never know it. He doesn't seem to age. "Yeah, a teacher who works with B."I raise my brow. "A teacher?"He chuckles. "Yeah, you'd be surprised. He seems legit.""

    MandyThere's a knock at my door, before someone pushes it slightly open."You've got a package."Those are the last words I expect to hear. Especially after only being here for a little while. I didn't even know I could get packages yet, or who might have actually sent me one.Getting up off the bed, I walk over. "Do I?" I open the door all the way, holding my hand out for it."You'll notice it's open," the nurse says. "Because we check it for contraband, and we verify you can have what's inside. If we've taken anything out, there'll be a note attached, and you can speak with your therapist about it at your session tomorrow.Pushing my hair back, I nod, trying to figure out how all this works. She hands me the package, giving me a smile before she's off to the next room. Sitting back down, I turn the package over and over in my hands. Trying to figure out who it's from. The return address is the clubhouse address, so it could be from any number of people. When curios

    DaltonMy hand shakes violently as I pull the envelope out of the mail slot at the clubhouse. It's addressed to me, and I can see Mandy's feminine scrawl across the white paper. Not looking around at anyone else, I put the envelope in the pocket of my leather jacket and beat feet to my dorm.If she's going to ask me for a divorce, I don't want anyone to see me going through the five stages of grief all in three seconds. I'll take the time I need to digest if, if that's what she's asking for.Closing the door between mine and Walker's room is hard. It hasn't been closed since he came here to stay with me, but I need privacy. Thinking twice, I lock it, pressing a hand against the wood, making sure it's shut all the way. I'll need to prepare him if we're going to go our separate ways.Sitting down on the bed, I take the envelope out and put it on the bed in front of me. I stare at it, for what seems like an amazingly long time, both needing to open it and dreading to at the same t

    Mandy"This is the hardest part," I sigh, closing in on myself, wrapping my arms around my chest, seeming to hold myself together. "Why?" Dr. Crawford asks."Because I have to admit what a shitty mother I've been to Walker. No one wants to admit when they've failed." I shrug. "And I've failed him in a lot of ways.""Let's talk about it." She crosses her legs, getting comfortable in her chair. "Let everything out. Verbally vomit all the things you want to say to Walker. How old is he?""Eleven." I grin, thinking of how he's starting to look so much like Dalton. "This is his last year in elementary school, and next year he'll be trying out for the middle school football team. It's almost all he talks about.""Does your family have a history of sports?""My twin brother does, and so does Dalton, my husband. They both played football in high school, probably could have done it in college, but instead they prospected for the club my dad ran."I've never told anyone about th

    Walker"You got some mail today."I never get mail. Only if it's my birthday or Christmas, so I'm super excited to know who I got it from. "Yeah? Where is it?" I ask my dad as I throw my bag in my room. He's sitting on the couch in his dorm."Right here." He holds it up, waving it around.Snatching it is easy, probably because he let me, and when I look down, my stomach gets a queasy feeling inside it. It's from my mom.I haven't spoken to her since she had to go into the hospital. But she wrote Dad a letter, and I've been waiting for mine ever since."Do you want to read it by yourself?" he asks softly. I nod, going into my room and closing the door. I'd thought a week ago that the two of them would be getting a divorce, but the dinner I'd had with Dad had settled my fears."She's getting the help she needs, Walker. I know it's hard to understand for you. Hell, it's hard to understand even for me, but I promise she's going to come back to us."I grab a piece o

    DaltonIt's a shitty day, cold with rain, almost freezing, coming down in sheets atop the garage. Hard to believe it's almost April, but sometimes our worst weather is in March. No one speaks over the noise, preferring to not wreck their voice, not even the radio we have playing in the background can be heard. "It gets much colder out there and we'll be fucked."It's shameful to admit, but I can't tell if it's Tyler or Caelin speaking to me. They both sound the exact same now that Caelin's balls have dropped. Shit, I mean gotten a little older. Sneaking a peak in between the spot my arm makes, I see it's the younger of the two."True." I turn so we face one another. "What are you doing here today? I thought you were at the clubhouse?""I was told to bring you this phone."My gaze moves down to the iPhone he holds in his hand. I eye it like it's a snake. "The fuck you bringing me a phone for?"He shrugs. "Just do as I'm told. You should be getting a call in the next halfh

    Mandy"How did your conversation with Dalton go?"I hold my phone call with him close to my chest, not wanting to share it with anyone, even Dr. Crawford, even though she's the one who's brought me far enough to be able to recognize most of my bad habits."It was good," I allow. "Just good?"Taking a deep breath, I trudge ahead, trying to explain with a limited vocabulary how hearing his voice made me feel. "It was as if a cloudy, rainy day was pushed aside and the sun shined, birds sang, and a rainbow appeared. I had no idea how much I missed him.""You didn't want to tell me all of that." She makes a note on her pad of paper. "Thank you for pushing past it.""It's just…" I situate myself on the couch, pulling my leg up under me. "It's always felt like everything involving my relationship has included more than the two people in the relationship. My brother is best friends with Dalton, Dalton and my brother run Heaven Hill together, and before that Dalton was under my d

He was the husband of Denise Walker, who survives.He was the owner of Walker's Wheels.His legacy will be carried on through the members of the Heaven Hill MC, Bowling Green Chapter, and the numerous friends who became family.

    HarleyFifteen Years Later "Are you sure you want me to teach you, and not your dad?" I question Erick, looking up at him, because he's now taller than me. He grins, the one so much like his dad I have to do a double-take. "No matter how good he is on the back of a bike, I think everyone knows you're better." "I wouldn't say that. He can hold his own, but I've been riding longer than him." "Exactly," he runs a hand through his shoulder-length hair. "He can show me how to do all the mechanic shit, but I want you to teach me how to ride." I should reprimand him for the curse word, but he hears it so often with the group we hang around. It'd be like telling him not to breathe. "Okay," I nod. "The first thing I want you to know is you're going to be wearing a helmet until you're eighteen and can make your own decision about what you want to do." "Mom," he groans. "Don't mom me. It's what's going to happen. It's a right of passage, and you're go

    Harley"He looks like us, doesn't he?" I whisper to Justice as we sit on the screened-in back porch at Grandma and Gramps' house. "He does," she coos. "Those eyes and the set of his chin are one-hundred percent Walker. His little wisp of blonde hair. Are you going to let yours go back to blonde?" She asks, lifting up a lock of my still-dark hair. "I don't know, I kinda like it. Not that I want to be different than you, but it sets us apart." "It does and I understand. You should do whatever you want. "His lips are Bishop's, though. Full and plump, always ready for a smirk or a smile. I think he's got his forehead too." Grandma walks in. "Give me that baby. He looks so much like Drew did when he was his age." I roll my eyes. "Don't give Dad any more bragging rights than he already has. He's been almost unbearable to put up with. You'd think he pushed this kid out of his vagina." "He doesn't have one," Justice points out. "Exactly."

    BishopCarrying my son out for the members of Heaven Hill to meet him is one of the proudest moments of my life. There are still remnants of tears below my eyes and I can't be bothered to wipe them away. This is one of those moments I don't mind showing my emotions. The doors open and there they all are, standing and waiting. "Hey." I smile up at them over his head. "How's Harley?" Justice asks immediately. "She's good. They're sewing her up and then she'll be okay for visitors. She told me to tell you not to leave, she wants to see you." Immediately, her shoulders relax. It must've been hard for her to be out here knowing her twin was going through everything inside those doors. "I'd like you all to meet Erick Walker." There's a murmur of confusion as everyone questions his last name. Drew puts his hand on my shoulder. "Bishop came to me a little while ago and asked if he could take my last name. He and Harley plan on getting married at some p

    HarleyAfter sex with Bishop, I fell into the best sleep I've had in what seems to be months. When I'm jolted awake by a pain stretching across my abdomen and a gush of wetness between my legs, I'm more surprised than anything. I gasp loudly. "Lee, you okay?" His voice is sleepy and I don't want to disturb him if I don't have to, but as another pain stretches across my abdomen and then goes down into my back, I know I need to. "I think my water broke." I gasp as the pain keeps going. "How far apart are they?" We went to the classes they offer but, truth be told, I'm blanking on everything they told us right now. So much for paying attention. "I just woke up so I haven't been able to time them, but I know if my water's broken we need to get to the hospital." "Your bag is here, isn't it?" "Yeah I have one here, at the shop, at home. Just in case." I grimace as I try to sit up, but this has been hell on my core muscles. "Give me a minute and I'll

    Bishop"If you roll over one more time, you're going to roll off this bed." "I can't get comfortable," she grumbles. "My belly's too big. I can't sleep and I just wanna be able to lie on my stomach. I haven't been able to do it in months. I wish you could feel this. It's annoying," she complains, turning over so that she's cuddled up against the body pillow she's taken to sleeping with. "Do you want me to shove a pillow under my shirt? Put a watermelon around my waist?" I think this is the stupidest thing I've ever heard, but whatever it takes to put her at ease, I'll do. "That's a great idea. There's a cantaloupe in the kitchen, why don't you go grab it?" She's absolutely not kidding. The tone of her voice isn't playing around. I squeak out. "Right now?" "Why not? If I can't sleep, why should you?" She says with an evil laugh. "Alright, if I'm getting up, so are you." "Easy buddy, I'm already awake." She reaches out, without words, ask

    Harley"Get out of here." I shoo Will's hand away. "We're gonna eat in less than an hour.""I've watched you, you keep eating," he complains."I am heavily pregnant," I argue with him. "It's fucking hot and my ankles are swollen, do not argue with me."Bishop grabs Will's hand. "C'mon, little man, let's go play some Call of Duty with Caelin.""Gladly." He sticks his tongue out at me."You've got to be nicer to him," Mom admonishes me.Justice interrupts. "She's got to be nicer to everybody.""You try carrying around a watermelon on the front of your body and see how you feel," I retort. "I'm fucking uncomfortable.""It gets better," Grandma says as she comes over to rub my shoulders. "I know it's hard to think it's going to, but it will. I promise.""I'm so sick of people saying it's going to get better," I grumble. "Every time I go and they make me spread my legs, I dread it. She did this thing called scraping my membranes this week.

    BishopI'm nervous as I watch Drew across the bays. This is something I never thought I would do and since we talked about how Liam wasn't his biological father, I've gone back and forth, wondering if this was the right decision. In the end, I know it is. He catches me looking, narrowing his eyes in a what the fuck way. Putting my hands in my jeans pockets, I walk over to him. "You mind if we talk?" Immediately, he looks worried. "Is everything okay?" "Harley's fine, but what I want to speak to you about has to do with her." "Okay, wanna go behind the shop?" "I wanna ask her to marry me." I hold up my hand. "But I have a request for you. I wanna take the Walker last name." He opens his mouth, then shuts it, before opening it again. My stomach drops and my heart pounds. The silence stretches on between us and I'm worried about what I've just requested. "I'm sorry, you don't have to say anything." He reaches out, holding on tightly t

    Harley"Eight more weeks and it's looking like he might come early. You're carrying low. He's a good weight, though, so as long as we can keep him in four to six more, you're good," Doctor Simmons says as she checks me. "Have you been having any pain or anything?" "No." I shake my head then think better about it. "Actually, yeah I did. Bishop and I were..." I stop, not sure how to proceed without being crass. "Being intimate and I felt some pressure." "Was there bleeding afterward?" "No, it just got uncomfortable very quick. To the point where I had to ask Bishop to stop. I've never done that before, not since we had sex for the first time." My face flames as I tell this woman more than I ever expected to. "It's okay," she explains. "You're going to be feeling more pressure the closer you get to him coming. Like I said, you're already carrying low. The lower he gets, the worse it's going to be for you. Your hips are widening and preparing for you to give birth,
