Meghan sighs and puts her phone to her ear, and I watch her while eating my salad.

"Hi, yes, uh, um, this is going to sound random, but I was wondering if you have a brother with the legal name of Noah, unknown last name, but was on a club run to Wincher, Louisiana, about five years ago?" She drums her fingers on the table and then sighs, "And you don't know of any other club that runs there?" A small tear leaks out of her eye, and I wipe it away for her, making her smile at me, "Okay, thank you anyway."

She hangs up before sniffling.

I squeezed her hand. "No luck?"

She shakes her head. "I've tried over 13 different motorcycle clubs since she was born. I even stayed in Wincher for a year just in case he returned to the café before moving; it's like he's vanished. If I didn't have a permanent reminder of him in my daughter right down to her hazel eyes, I would have thought I'd dreamt of him." She met a guy who belonged to an MC about five years ago and had a one-night stand. To her, she felt a connection but was told he didn't do relationships. When she found out she was pregnant, she did everything she could to find him, but with no luck.

I chuckle, and a thought makes me sit up straighter: "What about Doctor Thomas? He's in a motorcycle club, isn't he?"

She gives me a slight smile, "already tried. Some woman answered and said she's never heard of him, and they don't affiliate with the Wincher Club."

I sigh, "Dammit."

She nods, "Dammit."

We continue eating while I check my phone to see several missed calls and texts.

Mom – that was very rude. Answer your phone right now or else.

Mom – how dare you treat me this way. I'm like this because of you.

Mom – you stole your father from me. This is the least you can do.

Answer your fucking phone.

Mom – MELANIE.

I sigh again and turn my phone off, unwilling to deal with this before I return to my back-to-back shift.

The woman is a menace.

Chapter 3

Dagger

I'm in the common room in the clubhouse with Clitter sitting on my lap while we watch the show of Axel and Annalise, and I'm trying my hardest not to laugh my fucking ass off.

"I DON'T NEED TWO BABY SITTERS LOGAN."

I snort and cover it with a cough before she glares my way. I don't need her anger turned on me because a pissed Annie is a scary fucking Annie, but a pregnant pissed Annie? Hide the fucking knives.

Axel sighs, shoving his hand through his black hair while Cammy smirks, holding Annie's puppy that Axel bought her. Fuck, maybe a dog will help me be comfortable around here again?

"Annalise."

My eyes shoot to Flame. Oh shit, the dude has a death wish. Bulldog 2.0 is well in effect right now; why would he get involved?

"It's not for long, sweetheart. It's just until Grant is no longer a danger to you and the baby. We're just trying to keep you safe."

Flame tries to placate her, and it seems to work when she pokes Axel's chest, causing him to look at her with wary eyes and say, "Why couldn't you just explain it like that instead of telling me I had to have two men stay with me at all times?"

I bite my lip to stop the laughter from escaping while everyone else lets it all out. I shake my head while ensuring Clitter sticks to the rules of no touchingas Axel apologizes, "I'm sorry, darling; next time, I'll explain better; now let's go see our baby, yeah?"

They turn to leave, with Trigger and Jizz following, who are chuckling.

"Fucking hell, if this is what a hormonal pregnant woman is like, then remind me to double up on condoms."
