“I don’t need any of that shit.”
“Which is exactly why Long Beach fuckin’ needs you, brother.” I use his words to prove my point. “They need someone focused, someone who is gonna lead but listen. No distractions.”
“I ain’t doin’ it, Prez, I ain’t goin’ back there.”
“Maybe it’s time you faced up to your problems rather than runnin’ away from ‘em.” I place his father’s ring on the table before I get up and head out the door with Troj following after me.
“What a dick.” Troj grips his bars when we get back onto the street.
“He’s the best choice for Long Beach. Yeah, he’s a little bitter and twisted, but he’s smart and he makes good decisions.”
“Why him? He’s a nomad. To be a leader you gotta be a team player,” Troj questions me.
“Raze knows how to be a team player, he’s just lost his faith in the brotherhood. He’ll come around.”
“How can you be so sure?”
“Because as stubborn as he is, he ain’t ever backed down from a challenge before.”
I start my engine and begin heading for home.
“Imust have knocked you up the first time we did it.” Skid is still holding the image in his hand, staring at the tiny little dot as he pushes open the door and leads us out onto the street. The huge wide grin on his face is bursting with excitement.
“Give it here.” I snatch it out of his hand and try to make something out of it.
“It doesn’t look anything like a baby.” I focus really hard, yet all I see is a black blob.
“You heard what Blowit said, they count it from the first day of your last period, which means you're only five to six weeks. It’ll look much more like a baby when we come back in a few weeks,” he assures me, hanging his arm over my shoulder and kissing me.
“I’m so glad you were there to take it all in. I can’t remember a thing he said.” I’m still in shock that this is actually happening.
“I don’t think we should tell anyone yet. It’s still early.” I bite my lip nervously. I don’t know why, but I keep getting this feeling that something’s gonna go wrong.
“Whatever you want, darlin’, but just so you know, if it was up to me, I’d tell the whole goddamn world.” He makes me gasp when he lifts me off my feet, not caring that we’re in the middle of a busy sidewalk when he kisses my lips and carries me over to his bike.
“I’m real fuckin’ happy, Ads,” he tells me, his face serious as he raises my chin with the crook of his finger and kisses me again. “I’ve been thinking… When Riley came to the club with her son, Mads did her thing and fixed him a birth certificate.”
“Okay?” I stare back at him, confused.
“I was thinkin’ that if it’s okay with you, we could ask her to do her magic and put me on Charlie’s. We don’t have to, not if you thin—”
“Yes,” I answer him immediately, tears already welling in my eyes when I think about how happy that would make him. Charlie may not have known Skid very long but he loves him, and this gesture is so sweet it makes me want to cry.
“You look insanely hot when you do that,” Skid tells me, snatching the picture of our baby out of my hand when I get distracted.
“When I do what?” I laugh, not even attempting to reach behind his back and grab it back.
“When you look all happy and…” I steal the words out of his mouth when I decide to spread my legs a little wider on his saddle, enough that he can see the cotton of my panties under my skirt.
“Are you trying to get us arrested for indecent exposure?” He grabs one of my thighs in his hand and squeezes.
“I’ll let you into a little secret.” I pull him onto me using his cut, ignoring the stares we’re getting from the people passing by.
“The worst thing about my pregnancy last time was how it made me crave you, it got so bad it drove me crazy,” I confess. “There were times when I touched myself and thought about you,” I admit, ruining my attempt to be seductive when I blush at the memory. “This time, I’m hoping I’m not gonna have that problem.”
“You…” Skid leans forward and kisses me. “Can count on it.” He trails kisses all the way down to my stomach, then shifting his eyes to glance at the picture he’s holding in his hand, he kisses me there too.
“You're gonna have everythin’ you need and then some,” he promises before pulling away and saddling the bike himself.
