Remi loved these women. They got her and she couldn’t imagine life without them, which was why she was torn on how to move forward with War. She couldn’t imagine not living this close to her sisters. Intellectually she’d known they would all eventually get married. They all wanted a family, but she’d never considered what it would mean. She imagined them all living close where their kids could go back and forth between houses. How would that work if they all got married and moved away? She wanted to go to sleep beside War and wake up in the morning to his gorgeous blue-grey eyes shining with his love.
“Remi, tell me your best-case scenario with War,” Sarah directed.
“We live together forever, having kids and growing old together. I switch to admin more while I’m pregnant if I can get pregnant. If not, we’ll adopt. The kids come to work with me at our company daycare if they aren’t spending time with family. We’ll all be close by so as you find your one, our kids grow up with their cousins. I don’t think I can give up being able to run next door and see you, but War will always need to be on the compound.”
She wiped a tear because talking about what she might not be able to have had the tears starting again.
“Oh, Remi. Is that why you’ve been so quiet this week?” Winnie pulled her close, wrapping an arm around her waist.
She nodded, scrutinizing their faces. Did they think she was crazy to want the world? Did they even want the same thing? None of them had ever mentioned leaving the company and their homes but maybe she’d missed something.
“I might have heard something that could fix it all,” Beth stated, then grabbed a slice of pumpkin bread and took a bite.
“You can’t just say that then eat. Spill it, sister.”
“Tell us.”
“Don’t keep us waiting.”
The sisters’ words flew, bringing a smile to Beth’s face. She loved knowing a secret.
“I was picking up eggs from Clancey. He told me he’d like to sell his farm, but he wants it to go to someone who could appreciate it and would agree to keep the farmhouse he and his wife built intact. It’s definitely more of a hobby farm because he only has a chicken coop for his flock and about ten cows. He’d want the animals to go with the farm.”
“How big is his farm?” Regina asked.
“He owns all the land between our two properties and his property goes back and includes the small stream that breaks off from Bluff Creek. It’s 3840 acres.”
Remi waited to see what her sisters had to say. She wanted this to be a family decision before they took it to the MC and her dad.
“Although I can’t guarantee who I’ll marry, I have zero plans to live anywhere else. If the man I fall in love with can’t see what we have here, then he’s not my one.”
Sarah’s words had Remi relaxing a little. She wanted the dream—the fairy tale but with a badass spin. Where the prince was an MC president, who rode a Harley and didn’t rescue the woman—he empowered her.
“It sounds exactly like what we need. Regina, haven’t Dad and Baron been wanting to connect the properties?” Jesse questioned.
“Yes. Times have changed and people’s views have changed. Plus, Locks said the bail bonds and security are large enough now to withstand losing business if someone doesn’t want to work with the MC. I think this is a fantastic idea.”
“I worked up a sketch since I’ve had longer to think about it. Instead of rebuilding the gym where it is, we could use the barn he has and add on to it for the gym. It’s close to the road, so we could add a large fence, keeping it a little separate. There’d be a way through to the rest of the property but wouldn’t be easily accessible,” Beth finished, sliding her sketch in front of them.
Remi had no idea Beth was this talented at drawing, too. She’d rearranged the entrance to the orchard and farm so no one had access to the houses or the clubhouse.
Remi walked around the island, grabbing Beth and spinning her around. “You are the best.”
Beth giggled. “I try.”
Regina tapped the paper, nodding her head. “This is perfect. When is he putting it on the market? The last thing we want is someone buying it who hates the MC.”
“He’s waiting for an offer from us. He’s holding it because he said he and his farm wouldn’t have survived the lean years without the Bluff Creek Brotherhood MC.”
“Okay, well we have stuff we need to talk about with the men but right now, I want to hear how all of you ladies are doing. I’ve been around the clubhouse too much. Catch me up.”
Remi listened to her sisters catch up Regina. Winnie sidestepped all questions when Regina brought it around to someone special. Remi had wondered after seeing Winnie at the hospital if she had a thing for Bear but maybe she was mistaken. She hadn’t been at her best then.
“I have one more thing I want to show you,” Beth said, sliding another piece of paper over to them.
Remi looked at the drawing with wings, a heart, and the words Kathryn’s Wings on the ribbon. “Is this a tattoo?”
Beth nodded. “I thought we could all honor Mom and the project she inspired. I’m going to schedule mine this week.”
