Chapter Eleven
The club had been abuzz with energy after Piper’s visit yesterday.
Op had explained to them the situation, and every single man and woman was excited to meet her. It had become increasingly obvious that we weren’t going to let this woman not be a part of our lives.
“It’s almost amusing to see all these hard ass alpha males so excited over the prospect of babies.” Hadley chuckled as we sat outside watching the girls play.
I nodded in agreement. “It really is. They’re all kick ass and take no prisoners until it comes to the little ones, then they turn into these adorable puppy dogs.”
“I resent that.” Leo chuckled as he stepped out onto the patio.
“You can resent it all you like, tough man. Doesn’t change the fact that it’s true,” I sung teasingly.
When the roar of several bikes slowly became louder and louder, I looked up at Leo and frowned. “Are you guys expecting guests?” As far as I knew, all the boys were here. They had Church on Saturday afternoons, and it was almost time for them to be called inside.
Leo’s smirk informed me that there was something going on that I was unaware of. Instantly, I fought to get to my feet, but the struggle was very real. One hand on my arm and the other on my lower back, Leo helped pull me from the outdoor recliner I was sitting in.
“Thanks,” I told him when I finally made it to my feet.
“No problem, princess.”
Hadley stood too, throwing the blanket she had across her legs onto the ground.
She told me that it was pretty cold, and we had the kids rugged up in sweatshirts, pants and hats. But I swear I was still having hot flushes like we were in the middle of summer.
Hadley and I followed Leo around the side of the building and through the space in the wall. Optimus and some of the boys had stepped out through the main door and were already waiting. That was when I spotted the front rider of the group carrying my best friend.
Harmony climbed off from behind Kit and handed him her helmet before she took off running toward me.
Tears were already falling down my cheeks. “You bitch! Why didn’t you tell me! I’m not mentally capable of dealing with this kind of shit right now,” I sobbed, causing Harmony to laugh as she threw her arms around me and we rocked back and forth.
“It was meant to be a surprise, calm your pregnant ass down.” She chuckled in my ear.
I looked over her shoulder to see Optimus smirking at me. “You knew!”
He simply winked before the brothers moved off to greet the handful of men from Troy. When Optimus guided two of the bikers toward the garage at the end of the clubhouse, I knew that he had needed to call in Kit for some of the supply he was talking about yesterday morning.
Still, a little heads-up would have been appreciated.
Harmony pulled back, using her thumbs to wipe the tears from my cheeks. “Stop your sobbing.”
I slapped her arm and frowned at her, but it didn’t take long for my body to soften and I began to smile. “Fuck, I missed you,” I told her, pulling her in for another hug.
“Pretty sure you need to start watching your potty mouth. Babies can hear that kinda shit you know,” Harm scolded jokingly.
Releasing a loud snort, I grabbed her hand and pulled her back around to the patio. “These kids better get used to it.”
Harm and Hadley hugged and said hello happily as I lowered myself back into the lounger.
“I’m going to take the kids inside, it’s getting a bit cold and it will be dinner time soon,” Hadley offered as she rounded up the three girls and ushered them in.
Harm placed the blanket over her as she took Hadley’s seat.
“We can go in if you want?” I said, realizing she was probably freezing from the ride up here.
She shook her head. “I just wanna talk to you for a little bit. I figured it’s about time I pulled my head out of my ass and told you what was going on.”
My heart began to race. I didn’t like those words. I didn’t like that Harmony had obviously been going through something important that I knew nothing about it and hadn’t been there to support her. “Tell me,” I urged, my voice cracking noticeably.
