Hellbound MC - When Broken Hearts Collide

15. Alexis

Pregnant. I was fucking pregnant.

It had been a couple days since I'd done the tests and it still hadn't sunk in.

Daydreaming at my desk, I allowed my mind to wander. What would it be like to be a parent? Would I be any good? Could I do it alone? How would it feel to finally have blood family again? Would I be able to find Dom and tell him? Would he want anything to do with his kid, with me?

So many questions danced around my head, I felt a headache coming on.

Snapping myself out of it, I downed a couple painkillers from my bag and started setting up for my arvo.
Not gunna lie, I was a little nervous to meet this Reaper character. We'd only been in contact by text, Kelly had been the one to call and talk to him, and we both agreed he seemed like a rude prick. But he was part of Hellbound MC, one the most feared outlaw motorcycle clubs in the country. As excited as I was to get to finally tattoo the design I'd created, I'd have to keep my guard up.

Brought you lunch! Kells shouted as she walked past my station heading for the break room. I was up in a flash, I'd been hungry as hell lately which I could now put down to the pregnancy.

Settling in the chair across from Kells, she slid a bag across the table and I dug in, rather unladylike.

You excited for Tuesday? Kelly asked between mouthfuls. When I got to work the morning after finding out, I'd spent a good half hour wrapped in Kells arms bawling my eyes out over the situation. When I had no tears left to cry, she helped me clean myself up and make my first scan appointment.

I contemplated her words.

Yes and no... its going to all get so real so fast, I don't even know how to be a mom. But at the same time, I'm excited. I've lived almost half my life with no biological family, and this time next year I'll have one. My own blood. My heart aches at the thought, and I instinctively place my hands over my stomach.

Kelly flashed me a small sad smile, then came around the table and hugged me from behind.

No matter what chick, you'll have me and you'll have Charlie. Face it, that little bean in there's already lucky as shit. A badass mama AND the two coolest aunties on the planet.

I giggled, but it was short-lived as the same ugly thoughts pushed their way back into my head.

My baby has a father too. Product of a one night stand. I knew nothing about him, except his name. And I'd made a small start, but I didn't really know how. I mean what kind of person doesn't exist on social media in this day and age. Remembering he said he was a mechanic, I'd looked up and phoned every garage in the city yesterday asking if Dom worked there, but nobody with that name existed at any of them.

And even if I did find him, would he hate me. I left him there at the hotel with no explanation, no note. Just vanished. But maybe he preferred it that way. How would he react if I got the chance to tell him. Would he even want anything to do with his child?

Your thinking about him again aren't you? Kells asked, eyeing me suspiciously. I nodded, biting my lip.

Look, you've done all you can, Charlie and Lily are going back to the club tonight to ask around and see if anyone knows anything. We'll get this figured out ok?

I tried to believe her, but the stress and worry overpowered all else.

Suddenly I couldn't finish the rest of my lunch. Placing it into the fridge, I kissed Kelly on the cheek and went back to my station, shutting the door behind me for some privacy.

I had 20 minutes left before 'Reaper' was due to arrive. I checked everything over one last time before being satisfied that I was fully prepared.

Breathing into my hand and sniffing, I could smell my lunch on my breath, so I bent down to retrieve my mints from my bag when it hit me.

A blinding pain shot through my stomach crippling me. I tried to stand up straight but the pain was so intense I doubled over, leaning on my chair for support. This was unlike anything I'd felt before. Just as I thought I was getting through the worst of it, a fresh wave of pain shot through me and I collapsed on the floor letting out a horrifying scream.

The door burst open and in flew the shop owner Ritchie, followed by the other artists and lastly Kelly.

Alexis, whats happening honey talk to me, she cooed, while I lay on the ground curled into the fetal position, as pains erupted through my stomach like fireworks exploding.

Help me get her up, I faintly heard Kelly shout at the guys and two sets of strong arms lifted and carried me to the edge of the client chair, setting me down gently.

Whats wrong with me? I cried looking at Kells as another wave of pain hit, causing another scream. The tears flowed down my cheek and the pain was making it so hard to breath I thought I might pass out.

I watched as Kells gaze traveled down my body, and in a flash tears welled in her eyes and she looked more panicked than I'd ever seen her.

Fuck Ritchie, call an ambulance, she's pregnant and she's bleeding.

Her words hit me like a freight train, and I glance down to see blood staining my jeans and pooling on the seat between my legs. KELLS... I cried, then everything went black.
