“Kade?” I ask as he twirls me around the dance floor.
“What, baby?”
“I...uh, I need to tell you something.”
He gets a concerned look on his face and leads me off the dance floor. Sitting me down, he motions for me to wait a second and goes and grabs me a water. When he comes back, he opens it and hands it to me, saying, “I noticed you didn’t touch your margarita.”
“There’s a reason for that, Kade,” I reply. Reaching into my purse, I pull out the sealed baggy and hand it to him. His face is a mask of confusion as he looks at the item inside the bag. The confusion on his face nearly makes me laugh, but I don’t, instead I watch him intently, waiting for it to click what it is he’s looking at.
When it dawns on him what it is, the most beautiful smile I’ve ever seen comes across his face and he pulls me close. “We’re going to be parents?” he whispers. I can hear the awe in his voice, but I can only nod. My emotions are all over the place and I’ve already cried so I know I am a hot mess and a half.
Before I know it, he’s picking me up and twirling me around, saying, “I’m going to be a dad!”
Hannah comes rushing up to me, “What did he just say? Did I hear him right? I’m going to be an auntie?” I nod my head letting her know that it’s true. She squeals drawing everyone else's attention. Great, once again I find myself the center of the crowd. “I’m going to be an Aunt!” she announces, and toasts are made and we all end up on the dance floor, three things worth celebrating in one night. What better way to end the night... love, laughter and joy. It’s what life is supposed to be about. Our future is so bright and I cannot wait to see what happens next!

Laying here with my woman curled against me after several hours of celebrating, I am contemplating how my life has changed since I first saw her. My hand lightly strokes her arm as I remember the broken woman who was scared of her own shadow. She’s come so fucking far and I smile thinking about our future. She’s no longer afraid to speak against something I say, and her sassy side gets me hard as a fucking rock. I hear my phone vibrate and reach over to grab it. Seeing who it is, I internally groan before saying, “This better be fucking good.”
“Congrats, man. Heard you’ve pretty much sewn up your old lady now...a patch, a ring and a baby.” I look at my phone wondering how the fuck he heard the news.
“Man, what are you, psychic or some shit? How the fuck did you know?”
He chuckles and replies, “I’ve got my ways, never you mind. Just called to congratulate you.”
“Thanks, Atticus,” I say. He doesn’t say goodbye, just hangs up. His usual, which doesn’t surprise me at all. I roll over and see Bridget is still sound asleep, I pull her into my arms and fall back into a deep sleep with thoughts of my growing family. I can’t wait to meet our little one.
Announcement
This won’t be the end of the Rebel Guardians...be watching for them to make an appearance in a spin-off series, yes there will be two...and due to high demand, be watching out to read about the kids all grown up and falling in love themselves.
Thank you for all of your love and support of the RGMC.
Rebel Guardians Next Generation
Talon & Claree
Claree
When I came to live with Chief and Trinity as a teenager, I met Talon. He understood what I was feeling and going through and we became best friends. Our friendship grew and despite everyone’s best efforts, we found times to slip away and be together. All was going well until we became a teenage statistic. Now, years later, we’re still together and have added to our little family, but his involvement with the club as a newly patched member means we’ve grown apart.
I still love him with everything I have in me, but something’s got to give. I can’t talk about it with my mom because she doesn’t understand, and sometimes, I think Talon’s mom wishes we had never gotten together.
Talon
The first time I saw Claree, I was hooked. And even though we both knew it was wrong to sneak around, we let our hormones be our guide and well, we got caught. I’ve been prospecting for the Rebel Guardians since I was eighteen and finally earned my patch a few months back. Life should be good…I’ve got the girl of my dreams, two kids, and am in a loving, family-oriented environment. But I’m always gone, learning each of the club’s businesses, and it’s put a strain on our relationship. I’m at the end of my rope and drowning the day I get that phone call only to hear her terror-filled screams before…nothing.
Talon and Claree have hit a rough patch in their young lives. Will the devastating accident be their wake-up call? Can they find their way back to what they once had or have they lost their chance?
