“Well, three of you look extremely beat. How about we let you rest? I’ll get to work on looking through other cameras to see if we can get a better picture of whoever shot at us. I already put in for background checks on the nurses, so I’ll let you know about those as I get them back,” Smoke says.
“Sounds good,” I say as my phone dings. I look at the text and grin. “Creed has those two nurses in custody.”
“That’s a relief. Alright, we’ll get out of your hair for a few hours. Later, when we bring you guys food for supper, we’ll bring fresh clothes and shit for all of you,” Phoenix says, and the others get up to leave.
Patch holds back by Ethan’s wheelchair and then gives us both a chin lift. “Let me or Allison know if you need anything.”
“Thanks, man,” I reply.
Once the door is shut, Levi’s posture slumps. She looks dead on her feet.
“Sleep, Levi. I’ll keep watch,” Alexei says.
I pat the bed next to me and she nods. She goes over and gives Dragon a quick kiss. He looks about ready to pass out, too, and I’m not far behind. Walking over to me, she gives me a kiss and then lays down next to me.
“Love you, Wildcat.”
“Love you too, Thor.”
“Love you too, Spitfire,” Dragon calls out sleepily, and Wildcat giggles.
“Love you too, Dragon.” After a few beats, she raises a hand. “Love you too, Alexei.”
He chuckles and lays a blanket over her. “Love you too, Levi.” He pauses and looks up at me. “As a sister.”
I grin and give him a chin lift, letting sleep take over.
The next morning, I’m sore as fuck, but I can at least move now without wanting to pass out. The first few times I got up to use the bathroom yesterday were really tough.
We’re getting dressed and I’m struggling with my shirt big time when I feel Levi’s hands on my back.
“Don’t get mad. I’m only intervening because some tape isn’t fully sticking to your skin and is catching your shirt. Give me a minute to fix it.”
She grabs the roll of tape off the IV pole and runs back around behind me since I’m stuck for now and it’s killing me to hold this position. Her soft hands on my skin has me instantly hard. Fuck it sucks not being able to taste or have sex with her like we used to.
“Don’t even think about it,” she says as she lightly smacks my ass. She steps away and I finish pulling on my t-shirt. It sucks that I can’t ride my motorcycle for a while. Dragon has to wait at least a week before he can ride, but it helps that he was shot in his right leg. If it was his shifting leg, then it would be longer. I have to wait at least a couple weeks before I attempt to try and ride.
“When the hell do we get to leave? I’m itching to be back home,” Dragon complains.
“Just waiting on the discharge paperwork. I’ve got everything packed up so as soon as we have the papers, we can leave,” Levi says as she grins, but it doesn’t quite reach her eyes. We’re all cranky because of not sleeping very well, but I also know she’s been worried sick ever since Creed called her yesterday.
Patch brought my truck over, which miraculously didn’t have any broken glass or bullet holes in it, and Colt drove his SUV for Ethan. Half of our club as well as half of Reaper’s crew are here today to escort us home. We’re all paranoid as fuck about Fang trying anything on our way back to the clubhouse.
Reaper walks over to me when Levi goes over and sits next to Dragon on his bed.
“How you doing, Thor? Like really, how are you doing?”
I sigh and shake my head, talking quietly. “In a shit ton of pain. Thank fuck Levi put on more gauze than the nurse first told her since the stitches are right by the edge of my cut. I’m fucking surprised the bullet missed my cut in all honesty. I’m fucking pissed at Travis’ betrayal and I fucking want him, Sean, and Fang so bad I can taste it. I want this over for Levi, too. It’s been a couple of months of looking over her shoulder constantly and the stress can’t be good for the babies.”
He grins and nudges my good shoulder. “Can’t believe you two are settling down and having babies. Fuck, I wish your parents were still alive to see this.”
I can’t stop the smile that crosses my face when Wildcat looks up at me, smiling widely. She must have heard him razzing me. “They would have loved her and our babies to pieces. Damn, I miss them.”
A knock sounds before a doctor comes in.
“We have your paperwork, so you both are free to go. I know the nurses went over a lot of information for you. Remember, if you experience any redness or oozing around your wounds, you could have an infection and will need to be seen. Remember to keep the stitches dry in the shower. I understand one of our ER nurses is a member of your club, correct?”
“Yeah, Luke Morgan,” I say.
