Hellbound MC - When Broken Hearts Collide

89. Reaper

As I unraveled the paper, I wasn't sure what I was looking at first. Slowly it all registered. It was plans for a new house build. The blueprints and layout. It was nice, no doubt about it, but I didn't really understand.

"You... you're going to build me a house?" I said slowly with a sly grin.

"No silly" she said slapping me on the arm and I could see how nervous she was. "WE are going to have a house built for us. On the club land out back. I've already cleared it all with everyone and organized everything, you just have to say yes. I'll use the money from my botched trafficking..." she trailed off, suddenly going bright red and hugged herself.

"Of course I want too, that sounds fucking amazing babe" I reassured her, and her relief was instant. "I can't think of anything better, it just took me by suprise that's all. I didn't realize you weren't happy in our apartment."

"Oh I am, don't get me wrong" she said quickly. "It's just that...well..."

She picked up the last gift under the tree and handed it to me. A small rectangular parcel. I unwrapped it slowly, revealing a small black box.

I looked up at Alexis and she had tears in her eyes, leaving me more confused and concerned than ever.

Slowly I opened the box.

Inside were two small white sticks. I knew what they were the second I laid eyes on them.

Pregnancy tests.

Two positive pregnancy tests.

I looked up at Lex again and the tears were streaming down her cheeks.

"Alexis...is this for real?" I almost whispered, my hands trembling as I held the precious box. She nodded, and a rush of emotions hit me all at once.

Holy fuck.

We were pregnant. This was it, our second chance.

"Are you happy?" She said quietly, looking nervous all over again.

"Are you kidding me Lex?" I picked her up, spinning her around and laughing, my heart filled to the brim with pure live and fucking happiness.

"This is the best fucking news ever. I love you so much baby. I'm going to be a dad! You're going to be a mom!"

She laughed too, wiping the tears I didn't even realize had escaped my eyes.

I set her down gently, placing my hands on her belly, which I swear already felt more swollen than usual.

"How? How long have you known? When did you find out? The questions spewed out, and she laughed again, softly placing her hands on top of mine.

"A couple weeks now. Since I passed out at the mall. Doc did some tests and that's when I found out. The antibiotics i was on for my injuries cancelled out my pill. But I swore him to secrecy, no one else knows. I haven't even had any scans yet, I didn't want to do anything without you, so Doc's being keeping an eye on things for us."

"Well shit..." I murmered. "I guess that makes my gift to you useless for a while. No way your riding that thing while you're carrying our precious child inside that perfect body of yours. Not taking any fucking risks."

She laughed, looking kind of guilty.

"Sorry." She said, smiling.

"Don't you ever apologize for carrying our child Alexis. You've made me the happiest man on the fucking planet. Over and over again."

I kissed her, pouring all the love I felt for her and our unborn child into the act. She leaned into me, and I couldn't remember a single time on my life I'd felt more happy.

I didn't even realize we were the only ones left in the room until I looked around, wanting to tell any and everyone the news.

"Come on" I said, putting my arm around Lex's waist and leading her out of the room towards the dining room. Let's go tell our family the news.

Everyone was laughing, chatting and eating as we entered the room. We stopped in the doorway.

"Brothers!" I roared, instantly silencing the room and gaining everyone's attention. I couldn't wipe the smile off my face for a second, and I caught Doc's knowing smile staring back at me from the crowd. I nodded at him, before returning my attention back to everyone.

"My old lady here's just given me the best fucking gift a man could ask for, and I want to share it with my brothers." I heard a few sniggers around the room at my choice of words, but I was too elated to give a fuck.

"Brothers, your President is going to become a father. Alexis is pregnant" I shouted triumphantly, and the room erupted into cheers and applause.

As we walked further in, bodies came from all angles, hugging, shaking our hands and offering congratulations.

It felt like a dream, like it was too good to be true.

"Brother, congratulations man, I'm so fucking happy for you two. Tilly's going to be over the moon to have a little cousin." AJ pulled me in tightly, patting me hard on the back.

"Thanks brother, still can't quite believe it myself."

"How far along are you guys?" Dianna asked as she hugged Alexis.

"I don't know, atleast 3 or 4 weeks Doc thinks but we have our first scan booked in with a friend of his the day after tomorrow. She owes him a favor or something otherwise we'd have to wait till the new year."

"I want it to be a girl" Tilly stated matter of factly, making us all laugh.

"Of course you do monkey, but we don't get to choose. As long as babies healthy that's all I care about" I replied, chucking at the little girl.

"Speaking of that, let's get you some food mama" I said, turning to my woman with so much love in my eyes. She smiled, before grabbing my hand and all but running to the buffet table, loading her plate up with almost as much as what I'd usually eat. I laughed.

"What?..." she asked innocently, looking up at me from the mountain of food before her. How had I not noticed something different about her? She was practically glowing.

"Nothing..." I replied as we settled down at the table, and she smiled satisfactorily before digging into her plate.
