The noise coming from the large amount of people in the clubhouse is deafening. Lilah brings her fingers to her mouth, letting out an ear-splitting whistle. Everyone quiets down and all attention turns on her.
“Since we have so many amazing costumes, we’ve decided to have two winners this year! I’m pretty partial since I made a lot of them,” she chuckles, pausing to shrug. “Anyway, we’ll let the votes decide! There are two buckets on the bar! Happy voting and Happy Halloween!”
I let out a laugh as Lilah hops off the stage into Ringer’s arms and pulls him by the hand over to the bar containing the voting slips.
“Who are we voting for, Red?” Trigger leans down, pressing a kiss to my cheek. “I personally think Tank and Maria fucking killed it.”
“I’m not so sure Flame agrees with you, seeing how the barely dressed Harley Quinn is his mother,” I giggle, then hiss as another pain shoots down my middle.
Once it passes, I look up to see Trigger checking out the crowd filling the clubhouse. A frown mars his features. I turn in the direction that he’s looking, trying to see what has concern etched all over his face. For a moment I wish I had worn my heels, but one of the boys kicking quickly reminds me that there’s no way in hell I would be able to walk steady in them being this pregnant.
I pat his arm, garnering his attention. “What’s going on?”
“Go stand by Tank and Maria, babe. I gotta check something out.”
“Is everything okay?” Now I’m starting to worry. Henry nudges my leg and I run my fingers through the fur on his head.
Henry doesn’t leave my side as I push through the crowd to where Tank and Maria are standing with Reaper and Bones by the pool tables. I watch as Trigger goes in the opposite direction towards the kitchen, grabbing Ghost and Ringer on his way there.
Once I’m standing with the small group, my eyes widen and I lean forward, bracing myself against the pool table as another pain hits.
“Are you okay, babygirl?” Maria lays a gentle hand on my back.
“Yeah, just braxton hicks or whatever.” I smile at all of their concerned faces and turn back to look for Trigger.
Just then I notice the smoke seeping out from around the swinging doors that lead into the kitchen.
“What the hell is that?” Maria stretches to get a better look, holding onto Tank’s arm.
“Let’s go,” Bones says. Tank quickly kisses Maria and then he and Reaper follow Bones through the crowd.
Winnie, Lyric, Brenna, and Lilah make their way towards us and all have equally worried faces. Brit strides over with a sleepy Emery in her arms. “What’s going on? You all look worried.”
“Not too sure yet, love,” Maria says with a forcibly calm smile and holds her arms out to take a now sleeping Emery from Brit.
“She’s heavy,” Brit laughs.
“It’s okay. I need to get used to it anyways.” She takes Emery from Brit, and Emery visibly relaxes as soon as the weight is distributed.
I watch as the guys come rushing out of the kitchen and over to us.
“We need to get out of here, now,” Trigger insists.
All of the guys start grabbing a hold of the women in the group and head towards the doors. I’m so confused as Trigger pulls me by the arm to the front door by the bar. “What’s going on?” Brenna yells over all of the commotion the guys have stirred up.
Ghost gets to the door first. I didn’t realize it when they came out, but somehow he ended up with Emery in his arms. He turns around, looking directly at Reaper. “Door won’t open.”
I stand in horror and watch as all the guys disperse and try to open the back door, to no avail.
“What the fuck is going on?” Maria barks at her husband from right next to me.
“Someone started a fire in the kitchen, but we put it out.” Tank pulls the green wig off of his head and tosses it to the garbage can in the corner.
Henry whines and paws at my foot just before something pops between my legs.
Oh fuck.
My eyes widen and I look down, noticing the small puddle surrounding my feet.
