Tim


     I was laying on the bed with Bea as Rocky went to get some stuff.  She is not her happy bubbly self.  I hear a knock on the door and say come in.  I see Hotshot come in with bags of food.  I don't know how I lucked up and ran into these people but man I am lucky.  I talked to Hotshot about what the doctor said and then Rocky came back in.  I saw him take the bag toward Bea and give her the cutest teddy bear.  He also got her coloring books and reading books.  I just thought it was the sweetest thing to see this big ass biker dude covered in tattoos pulling a small teddy bear out and giving it to a little girl.  I heard Hotshot and him talking for a minute then he was going out to speak to him.  I watched him walk over to Bea and kiss her forehead.  I watched him walk out of the room but he stopped right before he left turning toward me.  I know I was staring but I couldn't stop myself.  It was just the sweetest damn thing watching him kiss her like that.  Once they left Bea laid back down with her teddy bear and I laid beside her to read one of her books to her.  She fell asleep soon after and I guess I did too.  


     I woke up a little while later and looked for Rocky but he was still not back.  I looked to see how long I had been asleep and saw that it was a couple hours.  I went to the door of the room and looked out.  I saw another biker dude standing at our door.  He looked at me and asked if I needed anything.  I told him no I was just looking to see if Rocky was out there.  He told me Rocky had some club business but that he would be back soon.  I was disappointed which was stupid the guy has a life.  I went to the bathroom and washed my face and brushed my teeth.  I begged the nurse to bring me a tooth brush earlier.  I drank coffee earlier and I can not stand the taste in my mouth.  The doctor came in and rechecked Bea.  He told me that as soon as her blood work came back again that he would decide if she could go home or not.  So I turned on the TV and found her some cartoons to entertain her for a bit.  I noticed after her nap this time she seemed to have more energy.  I waited for the door to open and Rocky to come back in.  I was excited to see him again.  Funny to me how I could miss someone that I barely know but here I am doing it.  The cartoon ended.  I took Bea to the bathroom to wash her off and also brush her little teeth.    


Rocky


     I stepped outside to speak to Hotshot.  He told me that the Prez wanted to see me as soon as  I could get there.  I hated leaving little Bea but I need to see whats up.  I went to his office and he was there with Blade.  I walked in and when he saw me he told me to shut the door.  I shut the door then sat down.  I could tell by the look on his face that this was serious.  Prez told me that we have a serious problem.  It turns out that Bea's father is a drug dealer in a pretty big gang in his area.  He has a lot of pull just like Tim said.  The club in the area said they would do what they could to help dig up dirt but that he has some mighty big people in his pocket so it was going to be hard.  Our plan of action is to hide Tim and Bea for now.  Try not to take them around to many people.  Blade hands me information that Tim's parents have made an official statement to the police in his area that Tim is not suitable to raise their granddaughter.  They gave some stupid shit reasons too.  One being that Tim is a pervert who was caught with a boy when he was fifteen.  I asked Blade "How old was the boy he was caught with?"  Blade laughs and says "The boy was sixteen and his boyfriend at the time."  Like what the actual fuck is wrong with these people?  He is gay not a fucking pervert.  We finished our talk then decided the next thing we needed to try to do.  Prez has put in a few calls to some people trying to get temporary custody of Bea given to Tim just in case.  I don't know what I feel about any of this but I know I am with Tim about protecting Bea.  I leave headed back to the hospital and on the way I keep thinking about the fact that Tim is gay.  I already kind of figured it out but wasn't a hundred percent sure.  


     I walked into the hospital room to find Bea sitting up coloring.  She looked better that's for sure.  They both looked up and she smiled while Tim looked relieved.  I wonder if he thought I wasn't coming back?  I walked over to see her coloring page and she actual colors better than me.  I told Tim that I had to go talk to the Prez and I would fill him in on the details later.  He gave me a concerned look but continued to color with Bea.  The doctor came back in and told us we could take Bea home but she would need antibiotics at home.  She has to be recheck in two weeks.  I let Tim get her ready while I went to handle her paperwork.  I gave her prescription to the prospect told him to handle it.  I then helped our little princess to the vehicle.  We headed back to the house.  Bea fell asleep as soon as we got back home. I walked into the room and motioned for Tim to come out so we could talk.  He walked out and took a seat on the couch.  I explained to him what Prez found out about Sam.  I told him that we also found out that his parents made official statements that he is not suitable to be Bea's guardian.  He didn't look surprised but then he asked me "So you know about me?"  I smiled at him before saying "That you had a boyfriend when you were fifteen?  Or that you are probably more turned on by one of my club members than that cute little waitress? "  I see his face turned beet red then he drops his head.  I walked over to him then slapped him on his back before saying "It's all good man I don't care who you swing for."  I then went into the kitchen to get me a beer so I could relax and watch TV.


Tim


     I am still sitting here in shock.  I didn't know how this biker club would feel about a gay man.  I mean some people hate me for it.  I don't know why I am so embarrassed right now.  I guess the fact that I am attracted to Rocky for one.  I sit there wanting to hide from Rocky right now.  He walked back in the room and sat on the couch.  He looked over to me and said "You can close your mouth now Tim before a fly gets in it.  So do you mind if I ask you a few questions?"  I don't mind.  I was nervous about it but he helped me so if he wanted to know something about me so be it.  Rocky asked "So when did you know that you were into guys not gals?"  I thought about answering him truthfully but to do that I would have to share something about myself that I am not ready to share.  I answered it to the best of my ability "I guess I figured it out around the age of twelve."  He asked me "So your parents were never supportive of your love life?"  I told him the absolutely  truth this time "My parents were never supportive about anything in our lives.  My parents saw us as a means to get what they wanted not what they needed.  I have never told anyone what my parents did to me.  I never told Ana what they put me through.  She tried so hard to keep me safe from their terrible choices.  I could never tell her the truth because she would blame herself.  Rocky said one more question "Have you ever been on the fence? Have you always known about being attracted to boys?"  I answered "Never been on the fence, I have always preferred the male population."  Then Rocky shocked me by asking "So on a scale of 1 to 10 where do I measure up?"  He busted out to laughing by the look on my face.  I am sitting here thinking one hundred dude one hundred.   


     We sat and watched TV for a while.  I then decided to ask him if he minded if I asked him a few questions. He told me to go ahead.  My first question "So do you have a old lady as the men call it?"  He said "Nope."  He popped the p on that.  My second question "Do you have family?"  He lost his smile then but answered me "I have a sister but we are not close.  My parents died in a car crash when I was sixteen.  As far as any other family I have no idea because my parents kept us from most of our family growing up.  My parents were what you would call real religious type and they didn't like a lot of things most people do."  I wonder what the deal is with the sister.  I figured while we are digging into each other's past I will ask.  I asked him "So do you mind sharing why you are not close to your sister?"  He looked uncomfortable then said "Another day another time on that one Tim."  I understood that so I moved on.  I have to ask one more question "How old are you?"  He said "Twenty seven."  I thought he was about twenty five so I wasn't too far off.  I heard a knock on the door and Rocky told me to go to the bedroom.  I went into the room with Bea.  She woke up as soon as I came into the room I walked over to hug her and give her kisses.   A few minutes later Rocky opened the door and as soon as he saw Bea was awake he smiled so big.  I swear that man's smile is freaking adorable.
