My eyes widen in realization, my head spinning from her to Slicer, then back to her. Meg's the woman he's been trying to find for five years, and he looks ready to fall apart. Oh, Slicer, this must be the news Mel told Annie she had for Slicer. Oh man.
I look at the door again and see Sophie, Ink's woman, and I smile, loving that these men have all found their loves. It's amazing to see. I know I'm still mad at them—furious, really—but I still want them to be happy; they're my brothers, my family, and I hope Slicer can get his girl.
When the wedding march sounds, echoing through the church, everyone stands as Mel stands at the top of the aisle with her dad, who happens to be Gunner's dad, a big flipping shock there that no one saw coming. She looks perfect in an off-white floor-length gown. Her brown hair is down and curly while her eyes shine. She is finally getting to marry her love, and Dagger is one lucky man.
I look towards the front and grin when I notice Axel standing where the minister is supposed to be in a tux, his cut on it making me shake my head. Of course they managed to convince the church to allow him to marry them; they do donate a lot to them, I guess.
"We are gathered here today to finally marry these two love birds."
Everyone chuckles before I look around the room, noticing my mother and sister sitting together, and I narrow my eyes before looking towards the groomsmen. The men I see as my brother's are all looking happy and dashing; it's a sight to see, and I'm glad I did see it. I make eye contact with a shocked Gunner, his little boy bouncing in his arms. I tilt my head at him, showing him my pain for not being with them every day, before I give him a slight smile, which soon widens seeing his boys eyes, which are absolutely stunning in a deep gray. These babies seem to take after their daddies, don't they?
I break eye contact first to watch the ceremony, knowing I'll have to flee before the bride and groom leave because he looks ready to grab Zayne, who I noticed is right in front of him, but that's fine; I'm just happy I get to watch it.
As soon as Axel says, 'you may now kiss your old lady' making me grin, Dagger grabs his woman and plants one on her while lifting her up, making everyone cheer. I wipe a tear as I take alook around one last time, making eye contact with Annie, who I blow another kiss to. Her eyes water, and she nods before I make a break for it, hating that I can't see Zayne in a suit, but let's face it, I'm not ready to see him yet, or my mother and sister for that matter, and I just want to get to my boy.
I head out the doors quietly before rushing to my car and climbing in. I start the car, then spin out of the parking lot, sighing in relief.
I make it to Wincher in under four hours and rush into daycare. The receptionist smiles at me before getting her phone to let them know I'm here before the door opens. I grin when Marlene brings my happy baby out, who instantly lifts his arms for me. I grab him and hold him tightly, sniffling his hair. "I missed you, baby."
"He was absolutely perfect; he last ate 30 minutes ago, so you should be ok for a while."
I grin at Marlene and take his bag before placing him in his car seat. "Thank you so much."
She nods, and we settle the bill before I take him out to the car. I click him in before placing his bag in the back. I lean in and kiss his head. "Let's go home, shall we?"
He grins at me before I make the trek home, stopping three times for fuel. I swear I see a bike like Zayne's, but I think I must be seeing things. We also stopped once at the motel in Missouri for about five hours so I could get some sleep and Theo could have some time out of his car seat.
We make it home just before four, making good time, and I sigh when parking up near my flat.
Longing hits me hard, but I shake it off.
I climb out of my car, about to open the back seat door, but freeze when a loud bike parks next to me, and I realize I wasn'tseeing things on the way home. I think I purposely ignored it. I don't move when they turn the bike off, and I don't move when I hear shuffling. I don't need to turn around to know who it is; I always know, and my body always knows. I wasn't quick enough out of the church; Gunner must have gotten his attention straight away instead of waiting until the happy couple were out of the church.
I hear the shuffling of boots before he stands behind me, his front just touching my back before his tattooed hands glide over my hips, causing tears to fill my eyes, everything going blurry as his lips go to my ear, rasping.
"Did you really think I wouldn't find you, my Firefly?”
My tears fall, and I squeeze my eyes shut tightly before I hear my boy let out a whimper. I quickly get out of Zayne's hold, wiping my cheeks before opening the back door. I grin at my boy before unclicking him and lifting him up. I put him on my hip before taking a deep breath and turning around to face the man who broke me. His light blue eyes widen in shock, his black hair is a mess from the bike ride, and he's still in his suit that he fills out nicely,
Damn.
"Star?" he chokes out, his eyes never leaving our boy, who is playing with my hair.
I give him a slight smile, nerves shooting through me. "Zayne, I'd like you to meet our son, Theodore Mathew Silvers."
Chapter 15
Flame
I stand here in the front row watching one of my best friends marry the woman he nearly lost due to a crazy nurse wanting more from him than he was willing to give.
Fuck, I miss my Firefly.
When she said she needed time, I didn't think she meant an extra five more fucking months; every time I've called, it still goes to voicemail, and I can't hold back any longer. I fucking need her.
Axel announces the happy couple, man and wife, before Dagger kisses his girl, sealing their future together, and I clap and smile along with everyone else, generally happy for my brother but wishing it was myself and Star, when Gunner taps me on the shoulder. I furrow my brows at him; his eyes are frantic.
"Brother, you need to fucking hurry. Star was at the back of the church; she's just left."
