Did he really say I have another Daughter? I want my fucking family! “I’m on my way Prez but please have my girls I need to see them, I need to see her. I know you want to speak to me privately, and we will I promise. It has been so long though since I have seen my girls.” King cleared his throat then said, “Alright Wasp call us with details and I will go speak with her now. She is pretty roughed up, and Doc gave her some pain pills so we will see if I can get her up. If not before we talk I will make sure you get to lay your eyes on her. Deal?” “Prez, my daughters are they ok?” “Your girls are ok Wasp, be prepared they don’t know who you’re. We took a vote, even though, two Brothers are in love with your daughters, and we believe this should come from their parents. Sadie thinks Justin aka Alexander is her father. She has been programmed by him, but I will say she really despises him, and her loyalties are with her sister.” I grunted my response unaware of how I should respond to this news. “I will send you my arrival info Prez and thank you for the heads up. And not letting me walk into an ambush, not sure if I would recover my rep if I cried like a pussy in front of my Brothers knowing my family is alive.”
Before he could say anything, I hung up to shocked to notice I had done so. I rushed to the facility and told the administrator they would have to rush the paperwork. I had an emergency and needed to be on the next flight out. The HR lady made a call and had Momma a case worker. Who was to take care of everything for me including a call to the local church and having Momma’s house cleared out. Giving me the opportunity to call a Realtors and having it placed on the market. Once papers were signed, I ran out of the building. I jumped in Momma’s car and started making plane reservations. I found a storage for my girl. It gave me about four hours to get packed, get her to the storage and take a bus to the airport. It sounds like a lot of time, but I had been living with Momma for eighteen years give or take a few months. During that time, I had to call my girlfriend of five years, I had to let her know my family had been rescued. I knew that was a conversation that was going to be painful.
Calling Cassidy was something that I kept trying to put off. I was not looking forward to hurting her, but with just a couple hours left. I called her to see if I could stop by and talk with her. There was no more time to stall. This was going to be hard, but I will never give Ashton and my girls up. Ever!
When Cassidy opened the front door and looked at my face, she knew this wasn’t a good visit. “Wasp baby, what is wrong you look like your world has been ripped apart? Sit down and talk to me.” I rubbed my hands down my face before finding the courage to hurt her. “Cassidy I care about you and I always will but I’m leaving, and I will not be returning here for anything.” Her jaw dropped as she was trying to grasp what I was saying. “Wait a minute Wasp, slow down and explain this a hell of a lot more than what you just did!” I’m getting impatient, I want to get on to the airport. “My wife and my daughters have been found; they have been rescued from their Kidnapper, and I’m on my way home to reclaim my girls. I know this hurts you, and I’m so sorry for that. You have been amazing for me, but they were and have always been my reason for living. I will be fighting for them with everything I am.”
Cassidy looks like she has seen a Ghost. Then she says. “I have so much running through my mind right now; first I’m happy they are alive and well Wasp I really and truly am. How do you know you still love her? She has been through a horrible ordeal I’m sure, and she may not be the same person anymore. I can understand you going to your daughter, but why her. I just don’t understand she may not want you Wasp!” Now my frustration is turning into anger. ”I have to try Cassidy I still have nightmares about her being taken away from me, I still cry for her and I miss her every fucking day! I’m sorry if this hurts you, but she and those girls are mine, and I’m going back to fight for my family and I will not give up until they are mine again!” I don’t give a fuck if she understands or not. The love Ashton and I shared can be found again if it has been lost I will get my family back one way or another.
Cassidy stands up, and I can tell she is fighting her tears. She is being strong for herself not wanting to give me the satisfaction of seeing her tears. She walks to the door opens it and nods with her head for me to make my exit. I walk past her and do not even look at her or kiss her forehead like I usually do. I don’t want her to think that any of those things that came out of her mouth are in any way possible when it comes to me and Ashton. I will not give up on her I don’t give a fuck if it takes another twenty years! Women like Ashton do not drop in your lap more than once in a lifetime, so I’m taking my second chance and keeping it. I had kept in my head during our conversation, to let her have her say so. I hate letting people talk to me like that! If I hadn’t been breaking up with her, I would have punished her for the insult and way she spoke to me.
I make it to the airport with enough time to spare to check in my luggage and call my VP and Shooter answers on the first ring. “Wasp, do you know when you will be in?” “Plane leaves in thirty VP, how are Ashton and my girls?” “Ashton is sitting right here looking at me with tears in her eyes scared to talk to you thinking you’re going to blame her for being gone so long.” “VP could you put your phone on speaker so my girl can hear.” I listen to the sound of speaker phone coming to life as I hear activity going on all around and then I hear the most beautiful sound in the world. It is a sob that I will never forget in my lifetime. “Ashton my girl, please do not be afraid. I’m coming home for you and our family. I have never stopped loving, you and I have never given up hope that one day I would find you. Say that’s good Ashton girl?”
“Oh Wasp, I have never stopped loving you! I stayed away to protect you and our girls. The things he had and the things he threatened to do to you and your Brothers. I would rather die than ever see you hurt. I just wish he would have left our daughter with you. She deserved you and not him! I hate him Wasp, and I want my love back. Wasp, please say you think we can still have us. Everything I did by staying away, I did for you!” Oh, my Ashton girl I can hear her breaking and she’s sobbing again. I don’t know what that son of a bitch did to my girl or my daughter. Once I found out, and I find him he will be begging for mercy, he will never find any from me. “Ashton girl I’m on my way to you, we will find our way back and then build it stronger from what we have had to survive. Keep your head up for me baby I’m on my way home. All of you including my Brothers and together we will all protect you.”
I could hear them calling for my plane so I let my VP know I had to board. I would be seeing someone soon at the airport. Watch over my family until I made it to them. Once I was there, I was never letting them go again. That was a promise no one was ever taking from me again.
Through the plane ride, all I could think about was seeing Ashton and my beautiful daughters. I couldn’t stop thinking about if they had the beauty of Ashton or did they look like me? Did they have my silver-grey eyes or did they have their mothers beautiful green eyes? Were they blond like my side or did they get the brown with auburn streaks? I know Taylor had the blond hair when she was a baby, so blond that I was always watching for it to stain if anything got in it. Was it still that beautiful color or did it all change with age? My mind wouldn’t stop with all of the questions I had no answers to. Justin was a dead motherfucker! I couldn’t wait to get to the clubhouse and see them with my own eyes, even if they didn’t know who I was yet. I hope my girls were willing to give me a chance. I wouldn’t give up until I knew everything about them and make Ashton mine again. As the wheels touched down on the tarmac, I couldn’t help the smile that came over my face looking through my window. I could see the rows of bikes there to welcome me home.
*************Ashton**************
After getting to hear Wasps’ voice after all of these years, I finally felt a sense of peace. He was coming to me, to us. He believed in me, and he knew I wouldn’t have left him willingly. I wasn’t sure what went through his head after I had disappeared with our baby girl.
I had always prayed he had found our journal and had seen my note to him. All these years I had never known if Justin had seen it. I have never stopped loving my man and even named my Sadie girl after his Mom, by giving her his Momma’s nickname. It was the only way I could share a piece of her daddy without giving Justin reason to fight. You see Justin had no clue that Wasp had given her that nickname it was tattooed on his chest right above his heart. He knew if Justin knew he would somehow make the name dirty.
I remember the day I met Wasp; it was lust at first sight for me. I had just turned eighteen and had been turned out by the foster care system. I was scared out of my mind. I was walking around filling out every job application I could get my hands on. Lucky for me I had graduated high school before turning eighteen, so I at least had a high school diploma going for me. Which wouldn’t land me a high paying job, but I was hopefuls it would get me something and keep me off the streets. What I hadn’t realized is that even with a high school diploma I didn’t have appropriate clothes for interviewing and working anywhere other than the typical fast food establishment or convenient store. Having no vehicle or money for a motel room I was about to bunker down with the rest of the throwaways from the system. I was sitting in the alley I had been in the night before, hoping one of the Kids would show up. When I heard a rugged laugh that captured my attention and wouldn’t let me go. I remember thinking; I wish I knew what it was like to be that happy. I had never known happiness like that before; he had this manliness to him with rough edges that captivated me and I couldn’t look away from him.
He was tall at least 6’2 with blond hair that was in that in-between stage of growing out. It was golden with platinum streaks through it, and the Muscles and tattoos he had running up his arms screamed danger. At that time, he had just gotten out of the service and was sporting a sun-kissed tan that made him more appealing to me. That laugh though it was rugged, raspy and all male. I could listen to it all day. I closed my eyes just so I could let it sink in my head and try to memorize it for those lonely nights I was facing.
As my eyes were closed enjoying the sounds of his laughter, I felt excruciating pain in my right leg. I opened my eyes to see I had two men standing over me, and one had a bloody knife. It dawned on me the asshole had stabbed me in the leg trying to get my backpack from me. I had it wrapped around my leg. Son of a bitch, this was not going to be good. The second man grabbed my hair and pulled back saying to the other “hot damn would you look at this fresh meat, she is fuckable, I say we welcome her to our neighborhood the right way. Let’s take her back to our section and show her how we expect payment for her to stay in our area.” I knew I was not going to let those men take anything from me, so I screamed at the top of my lungs. I screamed so loud that I could feel my throat being torn to shreds.
Through my screams, I still heard the loud war cry! As three men grabbed my two attackers. They moved so fast and with such precision my attackers had no chance to defend themselves. I have to say the gorgeous man I had appreciated earlier moved dangerously like he had been in a Kung Fu movie. They were like scenes out of a Steven Seagal movie. When they had the situation under control, he turned and looked at me, and his look went from pure rage to one of concern. He came up to me and introduced himself as Wasp, and I couldn’t help myself I died laughing and asked him what kind of name was that? That is when I heard the story. “Well believe it or not it really isn’t very interesting. We were on a training exercise and we were walking through some woods and out of nowhere I must have woken a hive of Wasp up and they chased me for nearly a mile. From that day on, I have been called Wasp. By everyone and it has grown on me.” I couldn’t help myself “So Mr. Hero are you going to tell me your real name?” He laughed and shook his head telling me “Only if you’re a good girl, I only tell those who are important to me. To everyone else it’s just Wasp. I wouldn’t mind knowing your name though doll.” I laughed at him calling me doll; I looked anything but like a doll at a size 14, maybe a cabbage patch with some of the rolls I have going on. I have a feeling if I don’t find a job and eat I may look like a doll. I decided to give him at least my first name since he did help keep those idiots from stealing from me and who knows what else. “My name is Ashton.”
I was pulled from my memory as Sadie and Riley came to check on me. My girls have been through so much, I hope that they will understand why I had to do what I did. I’m also praying that my dear sweet Riley will forgive me for not protecting her more. Please allow them to give Wasp a chance to show the amazing man he is. Don’t have their anger and disgust with me, keep them from giving him the opportunity to be the father they so desperately need. Justin is still out there somewhere, and my girls need as many people as they can watching over them. I notice as the girls are sitting with me, Kid and Tumbler can’t seem to keep their eyes from my baby’s. They are good men, and I believe they would be good for my girls.
The peace of just sitting around is broke as I hear the rumble of somewhere near ten bikes pull up in the garage area of the compound. I know he is here I can feel him, my heart is pounding hard, and my body is tingling just as it always did anytime he was near.
************King************
I know things are about to get intense as I hear Sniper and the guys pull up. He is bringing Wasp home. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Elizabeth look at the door anxiously for him to walk through the door. I have been busy on the phone making calls. I was calling our sister clubs asking them if they could come assist us. I have had an uneasy feeling all night, so I have stayed on alert. Keeping my eyes open without bein’ obvious. I have caught Tazer one of our patch holders of four years acting strange tonight. He refuses to look me in the eye. Sniper has noticed for a while that he has been missing his doses, and things have come up missing around him. He has gone from being a clean man who barely takes a shower, or wears clean clothes. I looked around the room for my Sergeant of arms; Ghost and his second in command Justice they are our head enforcers. Ghost has my back and Justice has Snipers. I notice them over by the dart board, and whistle getting their attention. They both look my way and I signal them over. They put their darts up and come stand next to me at the bar.
Ghost asks me what’s up and I explain my suspicions of Tazer. And ask that they keep eyes and ears on him at all times. We all sit at the bar having a conversation about suspicious activities around the clubs and watch Tazer with his phone out texting. He is watching Elizabeth and the girls. The door flies open and Wasp comes flying through the door like there is a fire. Eyes wild as searching the clubhouse for his family he wants to reclaim. As their eyes connect Elizabeth jumps from the couch and is running full force for him with tears streaming down her face screaming his name. Riley and Sadie jump up and watch their Mom. They look shocked and possibly scared for their Momma. Kid and Tumbler go to the girls and hold them tight whispering to them. The girls are calming down, not looking as scared as they watch Elizabeth jump into Wasp’s arms. He falls to the ground holding her in his arms saying “I have you back baby doll!” Elizabeth has love in her eyes, she grabs his face and plants a heated kiss on his lips. The girls gasp and in surprise say “Mom what are you doing?” Then Sadie tells Riley “Thank God maybe that means dad isn’t coming back.” Hmmm…Interesting, I was thought Justin treated Sadie well, I’m starting to wonder if we were wrong. Was hurting Sadie too? Is Sadie just glad they’re away from him? Somethin’ tells me we may never know all that happened.
Watching this play out in front of me I hadn’t noticed the scuffle to the right of me. Catchin’ my attention, I look over my shoulder and see Justice holdin’ Tazer down. Justice has his right knee in Tazers lower back and his left hand holding the scruff of his neck. He’s grinding his head into the floor. Ghost right foot is holding Tazers hand down, ripping his phone from his grip. Ghost reads the text messages, his face turns to a bright shade of red. His eyes are squinting as he yells for Justice to tie the motherfucker up. He brings the phone to me. I read the text a
nd confirm we have our rat. I tell Ghost to “Puts him in the basement!” Tryin’ not to be too loud, it’s hard because I’m pissed. Tryin’ not to let Wasp know just yet. He needs to see Ashton and meet his girls first. Ghost and Justice lead our rat to his confinement. Can’t wait till the bastard gets his!
My phone starts to ring, I look at the caller id and note its Jed. He’s my brother from foster care, we grew up on the streets together. He started his own MC known as the “Lost Devil Outlaws,” they are a 1% clubs. Sniper and I had enough of the everyday violence, Jed needed it. “Hey King, just wanted to give a heads up. Let ya know I made those calls for ya. We have agreed we’ll be bringin’ three men each with us to begin with, I have the list of names here. We’ll bring Fat Boy, Sharp, Hawk and me. The “Lost Spirits” is bringin’ Lone Star, Pipe, Lock, and Whiskey. The “Throwdown Ryders” are bringin’ Indie, Animal, Primed, and Cannon. We’ll be their the day after next. Can ya hold till then brother?” I replied “course; we’ll hold down, my guys just secured a rat.” We said later and hung up, this is going to be a long night. I go to Wasp and we have a small talk, I call the wife and get some coffee.
As I’m grabbing’ my coffee, Elizabeth tells the girls that she will explain everythin’. Give her the evening with Wasp first. The girls were hesitant, but the guys started to pull them away. Lettin’ em know the wanted to lay down with em, get some food and put a movie on and relax for a bit. Those boys are going to make good Ol’ men as soon as they get their shit together.
