Devil Dog MC #6 When a Man Loves a Man

My Saving Grace

Rocky

     I listened to Tim's story and felt anger.  I was angry about the kids growing up with the drug addictive parents and for his poor sister who was sold like that.  If only she got the help to get out maybe she would be living a good life with her beautiful daughter.  I think we all have decided that we will protect that little girl with all our might.  I mean most kids that are not part of our club fear us but not Bea.  Bea is not even scared of our most meanest looking dude.  Prez looks at all of us and asks "So we are all in agreement about this?"  We all answer with a yes nod.  Tim is looking at all of us then ask "So what does this mean?  I can't let Bea go back no matter what I have to do.  I will protect her with everything in me."  I walked over to him and told him "Tim it means that you and Bea are under our protection now.  We will make sure to keep you safe and we will find a way to get rid of the issue with her father.  I will need his full name so we can dig up some dirt on him.  We have a MC back there that can help us out too."  Tim lets out a heavy sigh and then buries his face in his hands.  The guy looks like he could fall out at any moment.  Prez explains to him that he will be staying in a small house in town that the club owns.  I am to stay at the house for added protection.  Bea will be with a club member at all times until the issue with Sam is resolved.  Tim keeps looking to Prez to me then back to Prez.  I hear Tim ask "You are going to do this for us when you don't even know us?  You guys have helped me more than anyone in my entire life has.  I don't know what to do or say."  Tank spoke then "You say thank you then you make sure that little girl has a good life and that she breaks the cycle."  

     The meeting ended and we all walked out into the common area to eat dinner.  The women decided to just eat here tonight since we all came for the meeting.  I walked out and saw Bea playing with all the kids.  She was smiling and laughing.  She looked up and saw us coming out.  She stood up and ran over to Tim.  She smiled up at him and said "Unc Tim I pway."   That damn little cute voice.  She then walked over to me and took my hand.  She led me over to the pile of toys and said "Pway pwease."  I sat on the floor and played until dinner was ready.  She is the sweetest little thing.  We all sat around the table and went over things.  We informed the women about the things they needed to know since they keep Bea.  I went upstairs to pack a bag so I could stay at the house with Tim and Bea.  On the way back down the stairs one of the sweet butts stopped me asking where I was going.  She snuggled up to me and said she wanted to spend some time with me tonight.  I was fixing to tell her that I was not going to be here when someone pushed in between us.  I looked down to see a very mad Bea.  She pushed the sweet butt and said "MIne."  She then turned to me putting her hands up.  I picked her up and she hugged into me.  I laughed and walked toward Tim with her.  I tried to hand her to Tim but she refused.  All the guys laughed and picked on me about it but I was touched by this little girl.  Tank walked over to tell her bye and she went to him to hug him.  Tim stood there like a fish out of water.  He kept opening and closing his mouth.  I went and put my bag into the SUV that Prez gave me to use while I am protecting Bea.  We said our goodbyes then headed to the house.

     I am so emotionally exhausted.  I feel much better with them knowing the truth.  I know there is no way I could ever protect Bea against Sam but I was willing to die trying.  We got to the house and it was a small house but it was a cute cottage style house.  We got inside and I found that someone had been by and stocked up the groceries.  Rocky laughed and said "Penny probably.  She used to live here with her husband Brick."  I told Rocky for him to choose which room he wanted first then we would take the other.  Once we decided on rooms I took Bea into the bathroom to give her a quick bath.  I put on some of her warm pjs then told her we would read a story before bed.  I know I need to get a routine going for her.  I need to also work on potty training her some.  Bea ran into Rocky's room before I could stop her.  I ran after her only to find Rocky standing there only in his jeans hanging low.  Lord have mercy this man's abs are to die for.  I think I could wash my boxer on that.  Calm down Tim he is a straight man protecting you and your niece.  Do not blow this for Bea.  I lowered my head and tried to reach for Bea.  She ran straight to Rocky.  He picked her up and tickled her for a minute.  I stood to the side with all these nasty thoughts.  Man I could lick him like a lolly pop.  Stop it Tim get your shit together.  I look up to see Rocky staring at me funny.  Please do not tell me that my face gave it away.  I apologized for Bea running into his room.  I then reached for Bea to take her to our room.  She gave a big slobbery kiss to Rocky's cheek then reached out to me.  I told him goodnight and took my little monster to bed.  

     I lay there reading her a night time story.  She started to yawn but was fighting sleep.  She looked up and asked "Mommy?"  She hasn't mentioned her mommy since I got her that day.  I didn't know what to do.  I hugged her to me then said "Mommy went to live in the sky remember when we let her fly away with the butterflies?"  She gave me a head nod then drifted off to sleep.  What will I tell her as she grows up?  I have no clue how to raise this little girl Ana but I promise I will do my best by her.  I miss you sister so very much.   I drifted off to sleep but was woken up by Bea crying.  I sat up and turned on the nightlight.  I saw her cheeks were really red.  I touched her forehead and it was hot.  I have no clue what to do for a sick kid.  I got up and went to the kitchen to get some water for her.  I was walking back to the room when Rocky came out rubbing his eyes.  Rocky asked "Something wrong with Bea I hear her crying?"  I told him about the fever and I told him I don't know what to do.  He walked into the room and touched her forehead.  He told me he thought we needed to take her to the hospital because her fever was so high.  I am scared so I agreed.  We got dressed and headed to the ER.  We got there and I signed her in.  The receptionist told me to have a seat.  Rocky was parking the car.  He walked in a few minutes later and walked over to me asking what did they say.  I told him they told me to have a seat.  He walked over to the receptionist and when she looked up her attitude changed.  Apparently there is a room available now and we don't have to wait.  A nurse came out from the back and took us straight back.  As soon as we got in the room she checked Bea's temperature which was 105.  She went straight out to get the doctor.  He came in and they started doing the exam after giving her some medicine to try and bring the fever down.  They drew blood which was a nightmare for my baby girl.  I wanted to cry right along with her.  She finally drifted off to sleep while we waited on test results.

     Bea has stolen my heart.  I can be a complete dick but this little girl could make most men want to grow the hell up to be there to take care of her.  I love her sweet little face.  I am sitting in the corner watching her sleep with Tim laying beside her holding her.  Tim is like that kid in school that most of the assholes picked on.  He is tall and lanky without much muscle.  He has blonde hair with green eyes but he still has a baby face.  I can't help but wonder if he is even into girl though.  I noticed he didn't really care about the waitress trying to flirt with him.  I also thought I caught him checking some of us guys out.  I could be wrong but I am not sure.  Soon the doctor came back in with the test results.  He explained that she had an elevated white count which means she has some type of infection.  He wants to keep her through the night due to her high fever.  He said her ears are red.  He wanted to know if she was allergic to anything.  I see the moment Tim panicked.  He doesn't really know and is not sure what to say.  I interjected "We are not sure Doc, she just came to live with us after the passing of her mother."  The doc said he would start out with a mild antibiotic and watch her.  

     We ended up in a VIP room after I made a few phone calls.  I needed to make sure that we were not noticed by many people.  I made a call back to the clubhouse to get a couple of prospects to guard the hospital.  I called Hotshot and told him to let Cherry know that Bea will not be there today.  He told me he run by later with some food for us.  I walked back into the room to see Bea awake but she was not her happy self.  She was very tired and did not have that beautiful smile on her face.  I walked over to her and sat beside her.  I asked her if she wanted me to go buy her something.  She gave me a small smile and shook her head yes.  I told Tim I would be right back.  I went to the gift shop and bought her a teddy bear, coloring book, crayons and a couple of books.  I went to the vending machines and bought some snacks for us with some drinks.  I know most kids like cookies, chips and juice so that's what I went with.  I made it back to the room to find Hotshot there.  He brought us some lunch.  I walked in and carried my bag of goodies to Bea.  I pulled out the teddy bear first because I figured that would be her favorite and I was right.  She squealed and hugged it to her.  I then laid out the books and color books.  We sat the books aside so she could eat the food first.  She would not let go of her teddy bear.  I helped her sit up in the bed while Tim laid out her food.  She got her "nuggies" as she says.    She only ate a couple before she was done.  She was still feeling pretty bad.  Hotshot asked me to step out with him so I told her I would be back in a minute.  I gave her a kiss on her forehead before I even thought about it.  I looked back as I got to the door and saw Tim staring at me funny.  I followed Hotshot out with a weird feeling in my chest.
