Present day
“Breakfast in bed. What did I do to deserve this?”
“Nothing. I want to surprise you.”
“I can’t believe this is happening to me. I’m so happy.”
“Good, I want you to be nothing but happy.”
She giggled an
d took a bite of the food. “This is so good. I love your pancakes.” She took a sip of her coffee and again another moan. “I’m spoiled. I know I am.”
“You’re loved.”
“Yay, I love you too.” She put her fork down and reached over, kissing him. “Have I told you that recently?”
“Not enough.”
“Then I love you. I love you so much.”
“Once we do this, I want you to get dressed so we can head on over to Reaper’s. I need to talk to him about something.”
“Something? Is it bad?”
“It’s not great, but it’s not something you should worry too much about.”
“Worrying seems to be where I come from these days.” She felt a twist within her stomach. “Are you angry with me?” she asked.
“I’ve got no reason to be angry with you. Why would you even think that?”
“Bethany and Reaper. I can’t regret giving birth to her, even though it was in a car. Not exactly in a bed with Randall guiding me through it. It was a crazy time.”
Preacher took her hand. “We’re going to have more kids and I’m going to love Bethany as if she was my own. You know that, right?”
“Yeah, I know. I wanted to talk to you about Bishop actually,” she said, pushing some hair off her face.
“What about him?”
She smiled. “I expected you to be closed off and tell me you didn’t want to talk about your son.”
“Do you want me to growl at you a little, scream?”
She chuckled. “No, I think this is easier. I hope it’s easier.” She licked her lips. The pancakes held no appeal as her stomach tightened. “I’m not stupid. I know the rules of the club when it comes to traitors. My mom, a couple of the guys, Bishop’s mother. They all had to be taken care of.”
“I know.”
“But what if you made an exception for Bishop?”
“Robin, if I let Bishop live, I will look weak.”
“I … I’m angry at him. I don’t know if I’ll ever get over what he did or even why he did it, but I don’t want him to die.” She didn’t want to have his death on her conscience. “I shouldn’t ask you. I know. I bet the club has had enough of dealing with me.”
“They will always do as they’re told.”
“But that doesn’t exactly help my cause, does it?”
