Page 51 of Whip’s Wisdom

“Hey Peyton, sweetie. It’s Devil.”

“Oh hey! What’s going on is everything okay?”

“Well that’s kind of what I was hoping you could tell me. I’ve tried to get in touch with Whip and he knew I was going to call him when we got the test results. He hasn’t answered and he told me he was headed your way to see the babies. Is there any way you can call someone and see if he made it to the clubhouse?”

“Um. Yeah. Let me call Knox and see if he’s seen him or if any of the brothers have. Then I’ll call the daycare and see if he showed up to see the triplets.”

“Alright, please call me back as soon as you hear anything.”

“I will and Devil?”

“Yeah sweetheart.”

“I’m glad it’s you, he deserves a dad like you.”

“Thanks Peyton.”

With that we hang up and I send him a message.

Me: hey, call me. Want to make sure you’re okay and we got the results back.

Chains looks at me, “They haven’t heard from him?”

“I don’t know Peyton is going to get in touch with Fang and then the daycare. I’m going to call Liz, can you call Terror and let him know what’s going on. Probably also Thorn too, he’s going I want to know what’s going on with his best friend.”

Chains nods his head as I pull up my wife’s contact information. It rings twice before she answers.

“Hey Tyler, what a nice surprise. What’s going on?”

“Are you busy right now, baby?”

“No, do I need to go to the office and sit down for this conversation.”

“Probably.”

I hear her sigh on the other end of the phone and tell someone she’ll be back. After waiting a couple of minutes she tells me she’s ready to talk.

“So, I wanted to tell you last night, but you were sleeping when I got the phone call and then this morning was hectic with the kids. Whip found out from his mother last night that the man he thought was his dad wasn’t. That his mom during the time that Ray was locked up came and became a club whore for Chaos.”

“Oh fuck, Tyler. Are you kidding me?”

“No baby, listen. We got a DNA test done today. I’m his father.”

“Damn it Ty! Why do you get these bitches pregnant who don’t know how to tell you before the baby is here that you are going to be a daddy. I’ve heard shit about his childhood. Shit could’ve been so much better for him.”

“Yeah I know and that makes me want to kill that bitch of a mother of his all the more.”

“You know Caleb is going to have a lot of feelings about this. Have you told him yet?”

“No, but I know he was with Whip last night when my name was mentioned and he went off grid after they got back to the clubhouse.”

“Fuck, Tyler.”

“Listen Liz, I don’t know, okay. I don’t know why Caleb would be upset about this. The people that should be upset are Cooper and myself. We missed out on that time. Caleb is twenty seven years old and I know that before I found out about him I did a lot of shit I shouldn’t have, but once I got him I tried to settle down. Yes, the bitch that had his little brother wasn’t great. She was horrible and I didn’t know until it was too late. Then she left and I swear if I knew how she treated him I would’ve killed her. But then I found you and look at how you treated my boys. You were the mother I always wanted for them. Something else is going on with him and he refuses to talk about it. I can’t help him if he doesn’t talk to me.”

Before she can say anything my phone beeps with an incoming call, I pull it away and see that it is Peyton.

“Listen, Liz, something's wrong. Nobody can find Cooper, I’ve got to take this call.”
