“I’m pregnant!” Penny gasped out over the chaos, slapping the pregnancy test down on Colt’s desk.

Everyone froze.

Two purple lines peered back up at them all. Positive. Pregnant.

“What?” Nix recovered first, and he immediately released Colt. “That’s fucking fantastic!” He smiled.

“Are you sure? How do you know?” Ash was more full of wonder, his mouth gaped open.

Lyle gave Penny a wistful smile and breathed out.

Penny glanced around at them all. “I’m sorry, I wanted to tell you later, properly, but it’s still early, I was going to try to book an appointment today-”

“Penny baby!” Nix rushed toward her, squeezed her, kissed her. Ash was right beside him, he clapped Lyle and Nix on the back. Lyle smiled, too.

Ash muscled in and put his hands carefully on her belly. “Fuck me! Come here, honey, congratulations!”

Colt’s voice cut through the joy, though.

“I’m sorry, it doesn’t change anything. We can obviously put together a financial support package for you, Penny, and the baby, but the rules are the rules-”

“Colt, you can’t be serious-”

“Prez, come on, she’s having our baby-”

“Who’s the father?” Colt asked.

They all looked at each other, silent, wide eyed for a moment.

Ash turned back to Colt and shrugged with one shoulder. “We are,” Ash spoke.

“No, I mean… biologically?”

All of the men looked at her.

Penny’s eyes went wide. “I honestly don’t know. All three of them could be.”

Colt pursed his lips. “Okay, you’re going to need to find out who and then we’ll dock their bonus pay to set up a financial support-”

Penny had heard enough. “Stop now. No.”

Colt raised his eyebrows.

“No. Just no. If we decide to find out who the father is, biologically, that’s for us to decide, not for you to dictate. And I’m sorry but I want my baby to know its daddies. Yes, daddies, plural. All of them, and for the final time, I am not a sweetbutt and I am not going.”

Colt looked pained now. But he repeated himself quietly. “Only club women can stay overnight, only club women-”

“Can’t Penny be a club woman?” Nix asked.

Colt shook his head sadly. “Only if she joins as a motorcycle rider member, to go on runs and do all the things we’ll do-”

“Which is out of the picture now that she’s knocked up-” Lyle spat.

“-or once a brother has claimed her-”

“Fucking fine.” Nix rolled his eyes and raised his voice. “Then I claim her!”

Everyone stared at him.
