"Yeah, I'm back, but I'm having a beer with the brothers. I'll come see you later, alright?"

She grins and nods her head before kissing his cheek, and I shake my head with a smirk as Cal slides a beer my way. I hold the beer up as a thank you before he serves the rest of the brothers.

Slicer slaps my back before taking a seat next to me, with Flame taking the other side.

"Alright, brother, let's fucking brainstorm on how to win your girl back."

I just shake my head, taking a sip of my beer. "She doesn't want me back, brother. Between the brothers, the club women, and the shit I did to distance myself from her, I have everything stacked against me, fucking everything."

He nods. "Maybe, but that doesn't mean you give up, brother; it just means you fight harder."

Flame nudges me about to say something when his phone rings and everyone shuts up; the whole clubhouse stills as 'Love is aBattlefield' Star's favorite song and her fucking ringtone blares through the silent room.

I quickly nudge him before it cuts off, and he fumbles with his phone, answering it.

"Star?" he rasps.

"GET TO LEAH NOW!"

She screams down the phone before I hear a scream coming from down the hallway.

"LUCASSS."

My eyes widen before I rush down the hall, kicking my stool over as the brothers follow.

I've never been fucking happier that the council brothers' rooms and offices are on the ground floor.

As soon as I get to my door, I slam it open, only to freeze. Leah is standing in the middle of the room, bent over in pain, while her white leggings are full of blood—so much fucking blood.

No. Please, God no.

Doc shouts, "MEL," getting me out of my stupor as Ava screams out in pain.

I rush over to Leah, her body now falling to the floor, her eyes closing.

Please, baby no.

I catch her before she hits the floor as Mel rushes in. She gasps seeing the state of Leah while Annalise cries out, "NO," the scene reminding her of her own trauma and making Axel take her in his arms as she cups her bump. Doc and Mel quickly check for her pulse before he looks at me and rasps, "Pick her up gently, Gunner; bring her to the medical room."

I nod and gently stand with her in my arms as tears fill my eyes. Hawk has an inconsolable Ava in his armswhile my dad stands back with his hands behind his head. My mother is looking at the scene in shock, tears starting to fall down her cheeks, and Mel, my beautiful sister with a heart of gold, walks over to the woman who caused the man she thought was her father to walk away from her, taking her into her arms as she cries out for my girl and my unborn child.

I walk past them and into the common room.

Everyone stills, panic lacing their features, seeing all the blood while the women gasp, but I keep walking, heading to the next hallway over where the prospects sleep and where the hospital room is. Doc quickly opens the door before I put my girl on the bed, slowly moving her hair out of her pale face as terror washes through me.

I can't lose her. I can't.

Mel quickly sets up an IV while Doc gets his screen before gently lifting up my girl's jumper and showing her bump, I grab her hand as he puts the gel on her stomach. Taking a deep breath, he places the wand over the gel, gently pressing down before pressing some buttons on his screen. It doesn't take long before we hear a strong 'woosh-woosh' sound echo through the room.

My mother, Ava, Mel, and Annalise all let out a sob.

Axel, Dag, Slicer, Flame, my dad, Dead Shot, and Doc sigh in relief while I let my tears fall.

Doc moves the wand around before pointing at the screen. "Her placenta has come away from her uterus a little, which is what's caused the bleeding. Her passing out was mostly from the shock of the pain. She's going to be alright, brother," he says with a sigh, and I slowly close my eyes. "She'll be on bed rest for the duration, but otherwise, all is well with her and baby, thank fuck."

I drop my forehead to our linked fingers while Doc sighs, cleaning up her stomach, before he rasps, "Okay, everyone out; let's give her some quiet time."

I just lift my head with a raised brow, making him chuckle before he kisses her forehead and leaves. Everyone else follows suit except for Flame and Slicer; they both take a seat while I kiss my girl's hand as my other one caresses her bump. We stay quiet for a while before ‘Love is a battlefield’ echoes through the room, and both myself and Slicer hold our breaths as he answers his phone.
