I'm Here

Chapter 18

Chapter 18. Bigger?
______________

I woke up to the sound of Shelby making food for Rachel and I. I looked at Rachel and gave her a kiss on her cheek. She woke up and I put my hand on her stomach. It felt much bigger.

We ate our breakfast of eyes and bacon. I didn't know what I needed to do today. So then I decided to call Brady.

"Hey Brady!" I said into the phone.

"Hey Logan glad you called, I got great news," he announced.

"And what's that?" I asked.

"Okay first off if you fight one more battle its possible losing, if you live gets you 20,000." He said slowly and clearly.

"20,000?" I asked like he was crazy. "That's a amazing."

"But get this... wining gets you 100,000 dollars." he laughed in the phone. "You're gonna be a rich son of a bitch if you keep this up."

"Wow. Maybe I can support my baby." I said.

"Oh by the way go to Chris's house we got two people you need to meet. Their names are Luis and Joanna." Brady said.

I kissed Rachel goodbye and I kissed her stomach. I grabbed my jacket and thanked Shelby. I walked downstairs and grabbed Rachel's car keys. I'm only 15 but I know how to drive. I won't get pulled over.

I made my way to Chris's house. I parked Rachel's car in his curb. I opened the car door and was immediately greeted by Chris.

"Hey man!" He pulled me in a hug. "Okay so those guys over there are Joanna and Luis."

I glanced over at two figures. Joanna had short brown hair was very skinny, she was pale and short. She looked a little shy.

"Hi Joanna." I smiled.

"Hi Logan, hey I'm sorry but I like to go by Jo," she stuck her hand out.

I put mine out and shook hers, "oh okay that's cool."

I walked over to Luis.

"So this clown is Logan?" He asked. He then looked at me closely. "I'm just playing bro, what's up." He highfived me.

"Isn't Luis a girls name?" I laughed back at him.

He laughed and smiled at me. "I'm from South America."

"Okay that explains it." I smiled.

The four of us walked into Chris's trailer later followed by Brady. Chris got us all sodas and we all sat in chairs next to a wooden table.

"Okay so Logan we're all here because of you," Brady smiled.

"Yes, Brady and I have this all planned out and it's helping all of us in a way." Chris finished for him.

"How does this help us all?" I asked.

"Well for Joanna-." Chris started.

"It's Jo!" She interrupted him.

"Jo." He looked annoyed. "She's hated the tangos ever since she was little because they would always make fun of her."

"That's true they were real dicks about me," her face was filled with anger.

"And for Luis they would make fun of him for being from South America." Chris continued.

"I know why for us Chris but, what about you Brady?" I questioned Brady looking over at him.

"Well for me I want revenge on them because, one day I was fighting them in the ring and Wink broke my leg. I guess they must've been cheating because before I knew it, all of them ran out and beat me until I was unconscious." He looked sad while telling his story.

"Well I guess we all have our reasons." I looked at everyone.

"Exactly!" Brady exclaimed. "Now the way....Jo and Luis fit in with this is, Jo is good with her ways of getting you deals Logan, she can even find a way to bribe others to help you. Luis is very good at blending in. I bet you that he would be able to "join" the tangos in a heartbeat."

"So this means I got to battle a lot more?" I asked.

"Yes, is that okay?" He asked me.

"Yep lets give those mother fuckers what's coming to them." I said confidently.

After a little bit of more celebrating I got in my car and drove back to Shelby's. I walked in the door and I saw Rachel I glanced down at her stomach.

"Babe it's.....getting bigger," I had a short chuckle and moved closer to her. "It's beautiful, like you."

She blushed and held my hand, "I love you."

"I love you too." I replied.

We went to sleep and Shelby went off to her night job. I fell asleep cuddling Rachel from behind, with a small grin on my face.
