Church was just coming to an end when I finally got downstairs. I watched as all the men filed out of the room, the ones who caught my eye gave me a knowing smile.

"What's up old lady?" Tank said as he left the room, making sure to emphasize the 'old'.

"So you're off the hook then?" I asked and he grinned.

"Your man's the same as you bestie. Unable to resist my charm." he battered his eye lids and I laughed.

"You're an idiot, you know?"

"And thats why you love me?" He replied, then a wave of guilt washed over his face.

"I better go, got a very important job to take care of" he said, puffing our his chest and putting his hands on his hips.

I laughed again. "Better get going then."

With that he left me to it, the hall almost empty now.

I knew I wasn't allowed in the church room, no female was unless under special circumstances, and as much as I wanted to break the rules and hunt down my man, I decided I'd rocked the boat enough.

I went to the bar, taking a seat as a prospect handed me a premixed drink which I accepted, although the queasy feeling in my stomach from last night's binge session still lingered.

It didn't take long before his familiar scent filled my senses, and I turned around just in time to be scooped up into his embrace. He swung me around a couple of times before placing me back down gently on my feet, before grabbing a hold of my hands and taking a step back to give me a once over.

"You look fucking beautiful" he murmured, not taking his eyes off me for a second.

I blushed, his words sending a shiver down my spine. I could see the desire burning in his eyes.

"Maybe a little too good" he continued, glancing around the room and staring down anyone potentially looking at me.

I laughed. "What's got you so worked up?" I asked, placing my hands on his chest as he wrapped his arm around my waist.

"I just don't think I truly appreciated how fucking amazing you are until there was a chance I could lose you. I hate the idea of another man so much as looking at you. The sooner that cut and tattoo is on you the better."

I smiled at the genuine look of concern gracing his face.

He truly was the most amazing man I'd ever met, I'd never felt so safe or loved. I never wanted to lose this feeling again.

I stood up on tiptoes, and he dipped his head to meet mine, locking lips in a steamy, passionate kiss. Grabbing the scruff of his shirt as he pulled me tighter, I got lost in the feeling of our lips working in perfect synchronization, moulded together as though made for each other.

The sound of Dom's phone ringing in his pocket snapped us out of our little bubble and back to reality.

He pulled it out and smiled.

"Hello..." he answered the call and put it on speaker as I rested my head on his arm

At first we only heard muffled voices, before a high pitched voice screamed from the phone.

"No mommy!!!! I want to tell him, give me it now!!!!!"

After more muffled voices and some noise distortion through the phone, suddenly someone was breathing heavily into the speaker.

"Unky Dom, Unky Dom" a little high pitched voice shouted.

"We're almost at your house Unky Dom! Daddy said it used to be his house too but he doesn't live there anymore cuz he likes me and mommy more." She giggled, and I heard a male voice in the background, although I couldn't make out what it said.

"Daddy said can you please get the gates opened...Do you have toys at your house Unky Dom? Did you buy me anything?
Daddy said you might be too sad because your special friend went away, but I told him its ok because I'm your special friend now..."

The little voice finally took a breath, and I had to muffle my laugh. She was sure full of life.

Dom smiled so wide his eyes twinkled, a handsome as shit look on him.

"I've been real busy Till's but how about we go shopping one day while your here and you can pick out anything you like? he said softly to the little girl.

"Anything?" she asked, dragging the word out.

"Anything" he repeated with a laugh, and the girl squealed in delight.

"But I better go Tilly, otherwise I can't get the gates open for you."

"Ok Unky Dom, see you reaaaalllllll soon."

Dom went to reply but she'd hung up on him, earning another chuckle from myself.

"Little firecracker huh? I asked, smiling harder if that was even possible.

He nodded before making a quick call to alert whoever was on duty to get the gates open, before taking my hand in his and heading towards the front doors.

A group of club members were already starting to gather, eager to welcome back the long lost some of their beloved former President.

A blue station wagon pulled into the lot and as it pulled up the crowd surged forward, causing me to lose Dom's hand.

I moved away to the side, opting to watch the reunion from a distance.

A tall, handsome man exited from the driver's door. His looks were similar to Reaper's, although not quite as stunning in my opinion. He was built smaller, but you could tell he tried to compensate for it at the gym by the way his biceps bulged in the sleeves on his t shirt.

I watched as he made his way around to the other side of the vehicle, opening the door and offering his hand to whoever occupied the seat.

A stunning woman stepped out. She had dark hair, with piercing blue eyes and fair skin. She was tall, with legs a model would be jealous of. I could only assume this was Dianna, the woman who had answered Dom's phone. If I didn't know she was his sister-in-law, I would have been overcome with jealousy.

She smiled up at the man, before nervously glancing at the group of butch bikers standing around. Moving to the back door, she opened it and leaned inside, fussing with something before a high pitched squeal similar to that on the phone emitted from the back seat.

Before I knew what was happening, a beautiful little girl came flying out and around the car, her eyes scanning the crowd.

As soon as she laid eyes on who she was looking for, she launched herself in that direction.

"Unky Dom, Unky Dom" she squealed in excitement, and my heart swelled as I watch her launch herself in his direction, throwing her tiny little body into the waiting arms of my man. He picked her up and swung her around, earning another squeal of delight from the little girl, before gently settling her back on the ground, holding her for a second to ensure she had her balance right.

The only thing ruining this perfect moment was the dull ache in my heart as I thought of the baby we'd lost. Subconsciously, I rubbed the spot on my upper chest where my version of Reaper's tattoo was inked onto my skin.

I caught Reaper's eye, and a look of concern quickly overtook his face, making me feel guilty for ruining his moment of happiness with his family. I tried to flash his a smile, but even I knew it wasn't as sincere as I wanted it to be.

"AJ, Dianna, Tilly, I'd like to introduce you to the club" Reaper announced proudly. "Boys, this is my brother and his family."

The two groups mingled, exchanging handshakes and polite kisses to the cheek. Once the formalities were over, Reaper put his hand on his brothers shoulder, earning his full attention.

"I saved the best for last. AJ, there's someone I want you to meet."
