“You didn’t wait.”
“Derek went in. Couldn’t leave the hot-headed asshole without backup,” Levi explained.
“Who the fuck are they?” Chance demanded, nodding to the kids.
“They belonged to a biker named Poppet.”
“One of the Fangs was called Poppet?” Bear asked incredulously.
“Seems fuckin’ so. Can’t leave them here. I don’t think the eldest is three,” Levi said.
“Put them in the car with Madisen. I’ll take them home and clean them up before deciding what to do,” Chance muttered.
Levi nodded. All he wanted to do was get Madisen home to Hellfire and make sure she was physically okay.
Chance
He stormed into his house carrying the two children. As of yet, neither of them had said a word. And his wife was lurking somewhere around there. But Chance couldn’t consider Clio right now. He had to check these kids over, get them fuckin’ bathed because they stank, and get some food into them. The way their bellies were sunken in, Chance did not think they had eaten for a while. He’d already called Phoe, and she was on her way from RC.
Carrying them, he didn’t see Clio turn her head in shock. Chance carried them to the main bathroom and then striped them as he ran the water.
Both kids stared fascinated at the bath, and Chance wondered if they’d ever had a wash.
“You brought me babies?” Clio asked in a soft, shocked voice.
Chance stiffened.
“Rescued them from their asshole of a Fang father,” Chance answered.
“And you brought them home to me,” Clio replied, moving forward. A hand ran over the littlest one’s head.
“No, woman. The state you’re in, I wouldn’t bring you kids,” Chance said cruelly. He didn’t need to be dealing with her shit now.
“Liar. You read my mind. I should have trusted you to make everything right,” Clio said, dropping to her knees and helping unclothe the little one. She lifted her and placed her in the bath.
Chance was shocked to see the one he was carrying was also a girl. Poppet had shaved their heads like boys.
“Clio, honestly, I ain’t got time for whatever bullshit you’re about to spew,” Chance stated as he began gently bathing the kids.
“I’ve been sick. I need help,” Clio admitted.
“Fuckin’ odd to me that you ignore the gifts God gave you, Louisa and Dax, but wake up for these two,” Chance spat, hurt in his voice.
“I was lost in guilt, Chance. I couldn’t give you the big family you wanted,” Clio answered.
“Not me that wanted that. I’ve only ever needed you, but you gave me Louisa and Dax. They’re bonuses, but even if you hadn’t, you were my everything. And you shut me out, turned away from me. And now there’s two more kids. Everything is hunky, dory? Not fuckin’ likely,” Chance hissed. He grinned at the kids and splashed bubbles at them so as not to scare them.
This was bullshit. Clio had come back to life because she thought he’d brought her more youngsters. What was wrong with their own?
“I wanted you to have a large family, and the hysterectomy stopped that,” Clio admitted as she washed the little one.
“That’s what you wanted. Not me,” Chance shot back.
“I know. But I couldn’t climb out of the guilt. And then this shit with Madisen. I thought I’d lose you, too.”
“But you didn’t. And you didn’t try Clio. You gave up on me, Hellfire, Louisa and Dax. Retreated so deep none of us could reach you. Yet two kids who’ve nothing to do with you bring you out of your funk. What does that say to us?”
“That you realised I needed more children to love?” Clio asked.
