Nicole let out a long sigh as Duke laid his arm over her shoulders and drew her as near to him as he could without her being on his lap. His other hand threaded through hers and came to rest on her belly. She fell deeper in love with him at that moment and nuzzled her head onto his shoulder, she could feel tension rolling off him in waves, his muscles taught and his body stiff. When Slam immediately asked how things went, she had barely opened her mouth before Duke announced that everything was fine and that he wanted all the brothers gathered in the bar at eight o’clock.
He clearly wanted to make an announcement. She was fine with that and was looking forward to their reactions. She tried to let the knowledge of having three babies inside her settle into her mind, but it just hadn’t sunk in yet. It felt unreal. She was staring at the little black and white photos and her heart warmed as she stroked her finger over each blob. The longer she looked, the more she could make out of their little bodies and she felt herself getting impatient to hold them already. It was going to be a very long pregnancy if she couldn’t calm Duke down soon though. She knew just what to do.
Chapter eleven
Duke
He was lying cocooned around Nicole still panting from the hard fuck he’d just given her. It took Nicole a while to convince him it was ok to have sex. He was sure that putting his cock inside her was going to give the babies concussion or dent their heads. Nicole had laughed when he said this and still wouldn’t believe her that it was safe. He hadn’t been thinking clearly earlier when he’d taken her on the couch. Now it was very real. Luckily one of the pamphlets from the doc was called ‘Sex and Pregnancy’, so after a quick scan through, he gave it up. Who was he to argue with the experts? Thank fuck! He couldn’t hold her tight or close enough for his liking. Every cell in his body was charged ready to protect her and their babies. He’d never felt this connected to anything before in his life. Looking at the screen and seeing the flicker of their fast beating hearts, he’d felt his synchronise to theirs. They were his.
He felt Nicole’s long steady breaths against his neck and knew she’d fallen asleep in his arms. He loved when she did that. The caveman part of him howled at being able to protect her while she slept and loved that she trusted him enough to do it, to leave herself vulnerable and in his care. He drifted his hand along the silky skin of her back and let the feeling of peace and contentment glide over him. He wished they could stay like this forever, no outside world to fuck with them or harm her. He knew it would though, it was inevitable, no one joined an MC lifestyle thinking of sitting around and smelling roses. Duke was prepared to do whatever it took to keep his family safe. Forever.
He’d never been more grateful to be part of this brotherhood. Not many people knew with absolute certainty that someone would have their back, no matter what they did or what had happened. He did. He had twenty two brothers who would decimate anyone who tried to fuck with them and they had no reservations about making others bleed to do it. That brought a smile to his face.
Blood boiling, he thought back to the sluts’ attack on Nicole. They hadn’t known but she was pregnant at the time. Part of him was relieved they didn’t. Helen was psychotic enough yo have purposely aimed at Nicole’s stomach. He knew that if he’d lost his babies, or they were harmed in any way, he would have hunted down and beaten each slut to death without a second thought or any remorse. When Nicole had woken and was told what the punishment was for Helen and the others, she decided it was enough and to let them go. He wondered if that would have been different if she’d found out about the pregnancy before giving her decision. For him, it would never be enough for what they did, but Nicole encouraged him to put it behind him. He couldn’t quite yet but he didn’t let on to Nicole how he felt.
Nicole cuddled closer to him in her sleep and pressed her stomach to his bringing him back from his dark thoughts. His first instinct was to pull away to give her room but he was loving being so close to his babies. He wished they were kicking already so he could feel them. Them! He still couldn’t believe he would have three children in six months. The doc had told them they would be identical, how the fuck was he going to tell them apart? It’s a shame tattoos were out of the question. The little scamps were going to drive him crazy. He remembered a pair of twins in his fifth grade class who used to constantly swap names and fuck with the teachers, and he was going to have to deal with three! He hoped Nicole had some ideas because his mind kept drifting back to tattoos.
He secretly hoped they were boys, no way did he want three identical girls as pretty as their mother. Any little shit trying to go after his girls would be getting a rude awakening, no one would ever be good enough for them. They would be the Fallen MC princesses and have a lot of over protective ‘uncles.’ If they were girls he prayed they were grew to be flat chested and dorky, with faces only a father could love. He knew with Nicole’s beauty, that would never be the case.
His mind was spinning with all the things he needed to do. They needed a proper home for a start. There was no way his old lady and their kids were going to go without. He had plenty of money to see that it happened. God knows what else babies needed, he was going to leave that to Nicole and the other old ladies. He knew for sure that Shel and Jewel would be over the moon at the news and he’d never heard them turn down a chance to shop. He laughed to himself as he imagined what hell Jewel would be putting Hollywood through later. She’d been asking for kids since Shel had Rod four years ago and now with Nicole pregnant, Hollywood would be under all sorts of pressure.
