KHAOS' SAVING GRACE - SONS OF SILENCE MC (BOOK 3)

Epilogue

CHERRY POV

           2 Months Later

     I wake up to the sun shining in my face and nausea kicking my ass. I crawl out of bed and run to the bathroom. Khaos comes in and holds my hair as I puke my guts up. "I think it's time for you to go see Doc," he says. "We can go after breakfast. Wolf may have to take over more of the training management and prospects are going to have to pick up some of the slack. Think they will mind? The way I am filling and how tired I am, I think it would be easier for me to do just more of the paperwork side. Even if I am pregnant, I want to work and do what I can until Doc says I can't." I tell him. "They won't mind at all. I will support whatever you want to do, as long as it is safe for you and the baby," he replies. While Khaos gets dressed, I complete my morning routine. I even gargle mouthwash twice. I hate throwing up. When I head out to get dressed for the day, Khaos does his morning routine. I know people have worried we rushed things since we have been through, but we make it work.

    At breakfast, I eat dry toast and oats. Seems to be the only thing not to make me sick. I don't want to express we may be pregnant until we know. I am so distracted that I can hardly carry-on small talk. "Ready?" Khaos asks after we finish eating. "In a minute," I say after seeing Willow spent the night again. I am happy for her and Hawk but this morning something seems off. I leave Khaos talking to Ink and make my way to her. "You, okay? Don't lie. I can tell something is up." I demand. "Yes, I am fine. Just upset with Hawk. I am ready to take the next step and he seems to be holding back now. I don't know why." she replies. "It could be he is worried. You know his baby's momma had the baby and ran off. He knows you're not her but since Ashley was a one stand that ended up knocked up, I am sure that is going through his head. Give him time." I say. "Thanks. I will got to go. Work soon." she says getting up and waving bye. I wave back and go back to Khaos. "Ready when you are," I state.

      When we walk into the clinic, "Hey lovebirds, what brings you in?" Doc asks. "Cherry has been getting sick and is tired a lot. We want a pregnancy test." Khaos says excitedly. "Sound like one is needed. Here you go, Cherry, pee in the cup for me," he says handing me a cup. Once I bring the cup out, Doc hands me a gown and tells me to change. He comes in five minutes later. "Congratulations, you are pregnant. Let's go a vaginal ultrasound and see how far along," he announces. Khaos hugs and kisses me. "We are going to be parents," he says with tears and a smile. "Yes, babe we are. I am so happy. I hope it's a boy and just like his daddy." I say. "Nope a beautiful girl, just like her momma," he replies. I just smile as the tears slide down my cheeks. Khaos uses the pad of his thumbs to wipe them away and kisses me again. When Doc put the condom on the wand, Khaos scoffs. "That thing has nothing on me," he says laughing. "You wish big guy," I say causing Doc to laugh with me. "Evidently, I need to remind you again tonight," Khaos says taking it as a challenge. I just laugh and say maybe. Soon the room is full of a whooshing sound. "There's the baby's heartbeat. Looks like you are eight weeks pregnant. Congratulations again both of you. Cherry, you can get redressed. I will get you some prenatal vitamins and something for nausea." Doc says standing to leave the room. "Thanks, Doc," I say as he leaves. I quickly dress and stare at the pictures Doc gave us of the ultrasound. "Can you believe that tiny bean is going to grow into a big baby?" I ask pointing at the picture. "I know. I didn't think I could be happier than the day we got married. I was wrong. I love you and our bean so much." Khaos replies and drops to his knees kissing my belly.

     Once we get back to the main room of the clubhouse Khaos yells, "We are having a baby." Sheila and Ivy tackle me into a hug telling me congratulations. When they back off, Mayhem pulls me into a hug, "I am so happy for you. Congratulations." he says and kisses my forehead. The guys are congratulating Khaos and tease him about not wasting time. I talk to Wolf and the prospect twins that help with my business. I fill them in on what I might need them to do more until I feel better and then again closer to the due date. They are fine with it. Tank loves being out there to help train the new dogs too.

     Khaos joins me, "I need to get to work, baby girl. I will be back later to help you train some. I love you and little bean." he says and kisses me. "You be helping the guys later. Paige and I are going baby stuff shopping today. I will see you for dinner though. I love you too. Be safe. Bye." I reply. "That's right. I will see you then. Bye." he comments.

    I grab Tank and we head off to Your Security Dog Solutions. We already have three people interested in level 1 trained dogs and two people interested in level 3 trained dogs. That's seventy thousand dollars when they sell. Between me, Wolf, and the prospects we each take six dogs. I work on commands with them. Wolf has his go through the obstacles. Damien wears a bite-proof suit and practices take-downs with them. Grayson works with training them to smell threats like bombs and chemicals. We switch them around every day. Halfway through the day, I call for a lunch break.

     We walk back to the clubhouse to eat. I don't see anything that looks good, that Grams set out. I walk into the kitchen to cook what I am craving. I make spicy boneless wings and put pickle slices with them. Then I make myself a double bacon cheeseburger with everything on it and some French fries. Lastly, I make myself a strawberry milkshake. When I join everyone at the table. Ice tries to still one of my chicken wings. "Touch that and lose your most prized possession," I say and look down toward the family jewels. "That's just mean. A reminder not to mess with the pregnant ladies," he says. Everyone laughs. After I eat everything, I am full and wish I hadn't eaten so much. I decide to take a nap before the baby stuff shopping.

     I don't wake until Khaos comes running and yelling into the room. "Cherry! Cherry are you in here?" he yells. "Right here. I was sleeping. What's wrong?" I ask. "You missed shopping with Paige. She came up here and knocked. You didn't answer, she looked for you at the training center and then came by the shop. I was worried. I am sorry I woke you. Going to text Paige and let her know you're okay. Just pregnancy kicking your ass." he says as he is typing. "I would have woken soon anyways. I ate so much for lunch but now I am starving again. I just kind of want to eat and sleep. Can you bring me up some dinner?" I ask. "Your wish is my command. You rest some more, and I will wake you when I get back. Then I will cuddle you after we eat, and we can sleep more." he says. I get up, use the restroom, and change into comfy clothes. I get a movie ready to watch while we eat. I manage to stay awake until he comes back, and we eat. I can feel myself drifting off before the movie is done. I love my life now and my huge dysfunctional crazy-ass biker family.
