“I’m sorry I should have been safer. Maldita sea. I fucked this up so bad.”
I wave my hand in the air, so he stops talking.
“Four weeks?” I ask, just making sure.
His eyebrows scrunch slightly. “Yeah, maybe a little less.”
“It’s yours,” I say, now I’m unable to stop the smile spreading across my face.
“Yeah, babe, unless you're fucking someone else in my club, I don’t know about.”
“No, never,” I press a hand to my flat stomach. “I want him. I want this baby. Your baby.” I look over to him and see a half-smirk climb up his face.
“Muñeca, you have to get better. You need to take stronger medication.”
“No, I’ve been through too much to have something as silly as a fucking scrape on my back take me out. I know what’s at stake now. Have them give me whatever they can to keep the baby and me alive. If it’s not meant to be and we lose him, I’ll be devastated, but I’ll know we did everything we could. I’m ready to fight.” I look him straight in the eye, so he knows I’m serious.
“Tell me something I don’t know.” He leans over and kisses me softly on the mouth. Even that soft pressure hurts, but I’ve had worse. I will fight to my last breath for this baby and my little family.
Azriel’s POV
I leave Cariña’s room after she’s been asleep for a while. The doctor says she is still in the woods, but she seems to be fighting the infection a bit better now. I could’ve told them she would. The woman is as stubborn as a fucking mule.
“How are things going, brother?” Vado asks. He is always here, and when he can’t be here, he makes sure one of the brothers is here with me. Neither one of us are ever alone. More and more, I’m starting to see why he’s our leader. We are his family, and he will do anything for us.
“Good, she wants to keep it. Adamant that we do.”
He turns and drapes a hand over my shoulder, “Congratulations. Keep her close. Family is everything.”
“I know. I will.
“Malvado?”
Vado’s head snaps to the sound of a man calling his name.
“This is a private affair.”
“I understand, I just thought I would reach out to you.” The man says.
“Why is that?”
“I have a business opportunity for you, the same one I offered your brother.”
I am up before Vado. “Oye, cabron, you better watch what the fuck you say. I have no problem ripping your guts out.”
“You got something to tell me about my brother?” Vado says from behind me.
“Yeah, Neno was deep into some shit he couldn’t get out of. His problems were on their way to you. We intervened, and now we need a return on that favor.”
“What do you want?”
“We need sanctuary.” The man replies, straight forward.
“Who is we? And from whom?”
“I’m Shepard, and from the Spawns of Chaos MC.”
“You’re on the run from your crew?” I ask. I know who Shepard is. He has been running with the Spawns of Chaos MC for as long as I’ve known them.
“Yeah, I have a hit on my head, and so do all of you. That crazy fuck is coming for all of us. You gonna be ready when he gets here?”
I step back and let Vado speak with Shepard. He will have to be the one to decide whether or not we will help another crew. I know that whatever goes down, I will be ready. Before Cariña, it was all about RBMC and Seda and how I could get my dick wet. Now I have Cariña and maybe a baby on the way. I will do whatever it takes to make sure my little piece of paradise stays intact.
Seven months later
“Vete pa carajo.” I try to walk out the door, but Joda grabs my arm to stop me.
“Oh, come on! When will you ever have to do this again? Why are you making this so hard? What do you think will happen if you don’t do it? You think she’ll let me live it down? You? Like I don’t even really understand why we’re even having this conversation.”
I let my head fall back, “Aye, Que jodienda!”
Joda has the nerve to laugh and push the light pink t-shirt in my hand. “You know it, AZ, that’s my name, don’t wear it out.”
I wait for her to leave the room, and I pull my cut and t-shirt off, replacing it with the pink t-shirt Cariña demanded I wear. My woman pushed through, and it seems like my daughter-to-be is just as stubborn as her Mami. Even with all the medical problems her mother had with the blood poisoning, this little princess is determined to stay along for the ride.
Cariña is ecstatic. I’ve never seen someone love someone they’ve never even met so completely before. It’s a little intimidating. Of course, I will care for the baby, but so far, I haven’t formed the same type of bond Cariña has.
I pump a little bit of hair gel in my hand and comb it through my hair. It’s a little longer than usual, but I can still pull it off. I spend an extra few minutes in the mirror, making sure I’m perfectly put together. I’m sure Chuchi and Joda have gone crazy with the party. The fact they pretty much forced me to wear a pink tee is evidence of that. I know the guys are going to give me shit.
I walk out of the room and down the stairs. My eyes open wide as it looks like someone threw up pink and gold all over the clubhouse. I don’t scare easily, but I really want to go upstairs and hide in the closet or some shit.
“Come down and just smile. It’ll be over before you know it.” Wire, the president of the Wings of Diablo MC, says from where he is standing.
I trot down the stairs, over to him.
“Bro, what the hell is this?”
“This is your life for the day.”
“I don’t understand why I have to be here. I mean, isn’t this only for the woman.”
He laughs loudly, “AZ, I promise you, if you don’t stay in this clubhouse and dote on that woman, you will never hear the end of it. Not from your woman or any other woman who knows her. Do yourself a favor, grin, and fucking bear it.”
Wire and the rest of the Wings have become good friends to the club even after everything went down with the Spawns. The RBMC became the only supplier of Blue Bunny. Once the WOD caught up with Vale and Storm, Wire made sure to come through on his end of the deal. It wasn’t long before we had more Blue Bunny than we knew what to do with. The influx of cash allowed us to build more safehouse locations for those who needed sanctuary and for Coca to make the needed repairs to Seda.
Since that all went down, Wire and the boys come down every once in a while for a little time in paradise. Wire is always working hard to make sure the Wings are one step ahead of any enemy. The man is going to work himself into a grave, but he’s a good ally to have.
Another plus is the wives have all become close with Cariña. It makes me happy to see her so happy. She deserves it.
“What the fuck are you wearing?” Oro asks as he makes his way to the bar with a large case of Corona in his hands.
“Fuck you. I’m man enough to wear pink.” I roll my eyes and put out my hand for a brew. He laughs and continues with his task. Oro has been a prospect for a while now, and I know Lobo is trying to get him patched in as soon as possible. Good men are hard to find, but a brother like him comes once in a lifetime.
I feel my phone ringing in my pocket, and when I pull it out, I don’t even bother to hide my smile.
I swipe the accept icon and place the phone to my ear.
“Muñeca.”
“Azriel, I am never leaving this room,” Cariña declares, and I can almost hear her pout through the phone.
“Is that so?” I raise my beer toward Wire, sitting there talking with Oro, and I make my way over to the stairs.
“Azriel, this is serious. I am huge. No one wants to see that!” She whines.
I chuckle and walk into my bedroom to see a mostly naked Cariña sprawled out on our bed. She has a dress on but it’s not fastened.
“I want to see it,” I say as I enter the room.
“That’
s 'cause you’re a pervert.” She says with her face in the pillow.
“Claro que si.”
I walk over to the bed and roll her over. I have never known Cariña to be ashamed of her body, but the last couple of weeks have been hard for her. Until maybe two weeks ago, she hadn’t seemed to gain a pound; she was wearing the same clothing, high heels, and everything. Then it seemed like overnight she put on weight, her flat belly pushing out the size of a soccer ball. I think it is sexy as fuck, but she’s having a hard time accepting her body is changing so suddenly.
“What’s the problem?” I ask and wait for her to turn and address me.
When she does, I can see that she has on a light pink dress with some sort of flowers on it. It’s pretty.
“It doesn’t fit.” She whines.
I want to roll my eyes, but I hold my expression. Along with the change in my woman’s waistline, the baby has also changed my woman’s mood. She was crazy before, and now, I’m pretty sure she keeps a blade under the pillow, especially for me.
“Muñeca, let me help you.” I pull her up and peel the open dress off her shoulders. “You are so fucking gorgeous,” I whisper as my eyes drink in the changes in her body, each one exciting me more than the last. Her tits are getting larger, and all I want to do is press them together and slide my dick in between them.
“Don’t you even think about it! We have to go downstairs.” She hisses at me and tries to pull herself from off the bed.
I look down and can see I have a hard-on. It’s too late; I’m already thinking about it.
“They can wait.” I pull her close to my chest so she can feel just how much I want her.
I palm her breasts and squeeze softly. I know they’re very sensitive, and it only takes a small amount of pressure to get her turned on.
“Fuck it. I’ll just go naked.” She turns in my arms and lets the dress fall to the ground before she attacks my mouth with her usual passion. I thought she was hot for me before, but these pregnancy hormones have her in overdrive.
I laugh and pick her up, placing her gently on the bed. That’s one way to distract her, practice expanding my family. They will have to celebrate our baby shower without us. I have other plans for my woman.
