Biker Girl

009

Four months later. Emery's Point Of View.

I sit in the waiting room with Rylan, waiting for the doctor. We find out the baby's sex today. Gavin and Nina are here too, for their own baby's sex.

"Nina Rodriguez." A nurse in Black scuba says.

"Emery Sparks." A nurse in froggy scrubs says my name next.

Rylan and I follow Marcy ~ my usual froggy scrubbed nurse ~ to the scales.

"A healthy weight," Marcy smiles.

The room has baby blue painted walls. They are checking the heartbeat, then sending me downstairs to ultrasound.

"Emery, Rylan; welcome back." Doctor Shepherd (we can be friends if you know why I like this name so much) greets us. "Let's hear us a heart beat, Cynthia is waiting to give you your five month ultrasound."
—
"The heartbeat is strong and earthy." Doctor Shepherd smiles at us. "Cynthia is waiting. Go find out what you're having."

Rylan takes my hand, and we catch an elevator going down. Gavin and Nina happen to be on the same elevator.

"Good heartbeat?" Gavin asks.

"Yep." I reply. "Nina?"

Nina smiles, nodding. "Still a healthy baby."
—
"Miss Sparks and Mr Montgomery, let's see what you're having." Cynthia smiles, her pink cheeks matching her pink scrubs.

She squirts the goo crap onto my stomach, and warns, "this will be cold." She presses the wand over my stomach. I flinch at te coldness but I keep a smile on.

Cynthia turns the screen towards us as she moved the wand over my abdomen some more. There is a yellow circle around a stick, a penis. "It's a boy."

Rylan kisses my forehead and asks Cynthia, "We need plenty of print offs."

"Certainly." Cynthia smiles widely and hands me a paper towel, to wipe my stomach off.

"Avon James Montgomery." Rylan whispers as I sit up.

"Yes, Avon." I smile, and feel Avon kick a little.

We meet Gavin and Nina outside.

"We're having a girl." Nina says. "Ava Marie Michaels."

"We are having a boy." I say, smiling. "Avon James Montgomery."

Nina and I attempt to hug, but our bellies are in the way. Giggling, I struggle to get into my hummer, Rylan has begged me to drive until after I deliver Avon.

We are all in the back room of the clubhouse, Nik has been talking to Avon nonstop, since he found out I'm having a boy.

"Emery, I'm sending you and Rubin to Barcelona." Gavin says. "We need one more ally. Mateo Cruz is the first man to mind."

Rubin just sits back. "Let me guess, I'm going to keep her safe, no talking?"

"Correct." Gavin replies. "Biker girls have as much power as the guys."

"When do we leave?" I ask.

"Tomorrow night, if that's okay." Gavin replies.

"That's fine." I reply, sighing as Avon kicks away. "I've dreamt of going to Barcelona for a while now."

Sadie pats my knee, "we will all be waiting for your and Avon's return."

"And my return!" Rubin yells. "I'm going too!"

"You're return is important too, Rubin." I say. "No worries, Rubin."

"Thank you, Emery." Rubin says, directly to me.

"Avon keeps moving." I say. "I think he likes the idea of Spain."

Nina laughs. "Ava's mixing a lot, too."

I stop at an Italian restaurant, hungry. I get a baked chicken Parmesan, and a Pepsi to drink on. Seat alone in the back, I cannot help but think about Rome, and my trip to Barcelona this following week. Rome was beautiful. I know Barcelona will be lovely as well. All the Spanish language, Spanish people, and Spanish foods.

They say Mateo is hard to please, very hard to please. I need advice from my favorite Italian, Yugo Kellis. I grab my phone, and I FaceTime Yugo.

"Ciao, Emery." Yugo says, answering the call. "Your face is glowing."

"Pregnancy." I reply. "I need advice." I take a large bite of spaghetti.

"Advice?" Yugo seems a tad shocked. "On what?"

"I have to be on a flight to Barcelona tomorrow." I say. "Gavin wants Mateo as an ally."

"You want to know how to please the man." Yugo smirks. "You can't. Simple. I couldn't even get him."

"I have to do all the talking." I mumble. "Rubin is coming, but only for my protection where I'm five months pregnant."

"You can do it, Emery." Yugo says, eating spaghetti and meatballs. "You need a little faith in yourself. Be yourself, I'm sure Mateo will like you."

I hang up, useless advice. I'll do what Yugo suggested, however, and be myself. Mateo will either love me and accept the alliance, or hate me and deny the alliance all together.

I drive home after I finish my meal, and see Rylan Home. I walk inside and he kisses me instantly. He knows I'll be gone a week, again. I have a weeks time to get Barcelona, Spain as an ally.

"I FaceTimed Yugo." I say.

"And what did he say?" Rylan asks, probably already knowing.

"To be myself." I reply. "He's sure Mateo will love me."

"I agree with Yugo." Rylan admits. "Go clean up for bed, love."

After a thirty minute hot bath, I lay beside Rylan. I remain naked, because it's a struggle just to put on clothes. Rylan kisses my stomach, and talks to an unborn Avon. I smile at my love and I close my eyes. Sleep comes over me in a little of no time at all.
