Socket still bares the guilt from his sister being hurt years ago, he just doesn't seem to be able to get passed it. He wouldn't have joined the Broken Demons if it weren't for what happened, and while Evie now lives a normal life, Socket has yet to...

I've never been so happy to see the clubhouse. Kit takes my hand as we walk inside, wearing only his shirt and barefoot I just want to wash Vince off me and put some damn clothes on. BFG got shot while the club saved me, I owe them all for what they've done.
"Let's take a look at you." Cordelia says as Doc tends to Kit and BFG. I nod and follow her, but instead of stopping at one of the beds she keeps walking and leads me to a separate room around the back.
"I'm fine, I just need some pain pills for my ribs and a shower." I say as Cordelia turns to me
"Now the boys aren't around tell me the truth, did Vince rape you? Did he do anything? I'm here for you Natalie." Cordelia smiles sympathetically
"No, he was close, but I fought back and they got there in time. He smacked me around a little, but I'm alright." I reply.
"You're sure?" She asks
"I... I swallowed his blood, I know the chances are low but..."
"But we're nurses and we we know it's not impossible." She finishes for me
"I'll have to wait weeks for it to show up on my bloods if I got something." I sigh
"Leave it with me, I'll see what I can do. You sure you're alright?"
"I'm fine, just need a shower. Go help Doc with Socket and BFG." I say and she nods
"If you change your mind I'll be around, and if you need to talk about it I'm here too." She says placing her hand on my shoulder.
"I'm going upstairs to shower." I smile at Kit as he lies on a bed in the infirmary
"I'll be up as soon as Docs finished." He replies and I nod before walking away.
As soon as I close the door to Kits room I rush to the bathroom and turn on the shower. I don't wait for the water to heat up before I toss his shirt to the floor and step under the water. Using Kits soap, so I smell of him and not Vince I scrub every inch of my body not caring when my bruises hurt.
Washing my hair twice and scrubbing my body three times still doesn't feel like enough but I give in and get out of the shower. I wrap a towel around my body before I begin brushing my teeth. After two rounds of scrubbing my teeth and tongue I finally step out into the bedroom
"I am so mad at you!" Imelda says standing by the bed, arms crossed over her chest
"I'm your best friend Nat, why didn't you tell me what was going on?" She asks
"I was dealing with it." I shrug
"But you were there through everything with Isaak and Isla, I want to be here for you too." Imelda says as she steps closer
"You're pregnant I don't want to stress you out with my drama." I reply
"You won't I'm fine and I'm here now, so we're going to talk." Imelda says before pulling me into a hug.
"Honestly Immy I'm fine." I reply, I'm tough, I can get over this, nothing happened, others have been through worse, Kit saved me.
"I can tell when you're lying." Imelda replies and I can't hold it back anymore. Sobs rack my body as I cry into Imelda's shoulder, she guides me to sit on the bed and holds me while I cry until I can't anymore.
"You know I hate it when I cry." I say as I sit up and wipe my face with my towel
"Well sometimes a girl just needs a damn good cry. Isaak was all over me last night because I burst into tears at that new commercial, you know the one with the puppy and the little kid, gets me every time." She laughs.
"You're crazy when you're pregnant." I chuckle
"Well at least you and Isaak can split my crazy this time. Listen, I'm going to cancel the gender reveal party next week, just until things settle down." Imelda says
"No don't, I've already ordered everything and a party will be good, I'll be ok and I'll get Cordelia to help me if I need it." I reply
"If you're sure. So tell me, just what has been going on lately?" She asks and I sigh. Imelda and I are so close, we share everything, I even sat on the counter whilst she was peeing on sticks to find out she was pregnant with Isla.
So I tell her everything. From my mom showing up, the first time I saw Vince, Kit telling me he loved me before he got arrested, me being taken in for questioning and then kidnapped and finally what happened with Vince in the motel room.
"After he cuffed me to the bed he ripped and cut my clothes off and his hands and mouth were everywhere. I fought so hard. I bit him, kicked him, kneed him in the balls, everything I could think of. But it wasn't enough, he was so close, Killer and Kit burst in just before he could." I sob softly and Imelda hugs me again
"It's over now and you're safe. Can I just say how freaking cute it is that you call Socket Kit?" She giggles making me smile
"I didn't even realise I was doing it, I just didn't like yelling out Socket when I came." I laugh with Imelda.
"Do you want to come stay with me for a while? Or I can stay with you? Whatever you need preggo bestie is here." Imelda says making me laugh again, she's the best.
"Thanks Immy, but I just want to curl up with Kit and sleep for a while. Maybe we can do lunch tomorrow? Are you working?" I ask
"No, I was at work when Isaak called and told me something had happened and he thought you'd need me. Before I left I talked to Gillian, told her you were having some issues with your mom, she gave me two days off because you desperately need my help and I got you two weeks." She explains
"Your man is good to me, as are you." I smile as we hug a final time.
"You can tell him yourself, he's guarding the door while we have bestie time." Imelda smirks before opening the door
"Ice Ice baby, thank you." I smile before pulling him into a hug
"She hugged me." Ice says holding his hands up and it's at that point I remember I only have a towel around me
"Oops." I smirk as I let go "Don't tell me you haven't had a fantasy about your bride and her bestie."
I laugh loudly at the look on Ice and Imelda's faces. I'm going to be ok, I have a family of my own right here.
