Once I grab my bag from Smokey's room, I head out, making sure the door is locked behind me. I mentally remind myself to give his key back when they return from their honeymoon. Just when I turn to walk down the hall, a tattooed arm wraps around my waist and gently pulls me into another room. I look around and smile as Jayden shuts his door. There's the bare minimum in here, which doesn't surprise me, but the black walls do.
He didn't want to get comfortable in here.
I walk over to his bed and take a seat as he leans against his door, crossing his arms over his chest. He raises a brow at me, which glimmers with the glitter, making me snort.
I state, "You really need to redecorate in here."
He hums and replies, "No need when I don't plan on staying in the club. Now stop trying to distract me. What was that out there? Because to me, it looked like my wife was pissed at me."
My eyes tear up a little, making him furrow his brows before pushing off his door and walking over to me with long strides. When close, he kneels, then cups my cheeks, his wedding ring soothing my skin.
He rasps, "Shorty…" and my tears fall, a sob ripping from my body, making his eyes go wide with panic.
"O-Oh God, I-I'm so-so sorry," I sob, gripping his wrists as they cup my cheeks, his thumbs trying to wipe away the tears.
"Talk to me, Vi," he whispers.
I shake my head, but he squeezes my cheeks, his eyes pleading as I try to control my sobs. I stutter, "I-I know, y-you wouldn't do-do anything to-to hurt me. I-I I’m…I-I….”
He furrows his brows. "Violet?"
I let out another sob. "I'm really emotional, and I can't control it. I-I'm sorry, I-I thought walking away would be b-better." I let out another sob as pain shines through his eyes at my reaction. Finally, I admit, "I'm pregnant, Jayden."
His eyes widen in shock.
"How, I-I mean, I know how, but…I, uh…how?" he stammers.
If I wasn't so emotional I would have laughed.
I sniffle and hiccup, before saying, "I-I went to change my pill to-to the shot. Th-they said the pill can-can fail s-sometimes. I'm ten-ten weeks."
He blinks a couple of times, his gaze dropping to my stomach before his lips spread into a massive smile. He places his forehead against mine and whispers, "This, right here, you and our baby, is everything to me. Do you hear me?"
I blurt, "But-but…"
He shakes his head, squeezing my cheeks again. "No buts. I know you have school, and I promise you, I will not let you get behind."
Surprised, I let out another sob and ask, "Y-You’re happy?"
His eyes soften before he places a gentle kiss on my lips and whispers against them, "More than happy, Shorty. I…fuck.... You are all I've ever wanted, and now I have a piece of you and me. I'm over the moon but, baby, I will be handing in my patch. This has cemented it for me; our child will not grow up in a life that treated me badly." I flinch, but he ignores it and kisses me, pushing his tongue into my mouth, making me moan, before he pulls back and whispers, "I'm going to go make sure the coast is clear and keep everyone away. Start heading home, Shorty. We have some celebrating to do."
I smile as he kisses me again before getting up and heading to the door. When he opens it slightly, he points at me, "I want you home within twenty minutes, and in the tub, baby."
I grin, loving the sound of that. He leaves and my smile drops. Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled he's happy about the baby, especially when I took a while to even come to terms with it, but I don't want him to use this as a reason to hand in his cut, especially if he's going to regret it.
With a sigh, I get up, grab my bag, and quickly get my phone out. I bring up my text thread and anonymously text a number, not allowing my husband to decide something he'll regret.
Me: He's made his mind up. He's handing in his cut. Work harder to convince him.
Leaving his room, I ignore the people around the common room, knowing Liv and Smokey are already gone, and April is at her papa's.
I leave the clubhouse, and the prospect lets me through the gate, and I head home, all while feeling eyes on me, making my skin crawl.
A bad feeling hits me, and I suddenly start to feel sick, so I put my foot down, looking in my mirrors. I see nothing out of the ordinary. Only when Jayden pulls up behind me through town do I relax, the uneasiness disappearing.
It's a shame I didn't tell Jayden about the feeling, though.
