Dragon

Chapter One

The banging fist on my door woke me up from my bedroom. I sit up in bed and shake my head, before quickly pulling on a pair of boxers. It was probably Mom coming to check on me, she normally did one a week, but she skipped last week for some reason.
I walk through my carpeted apartment, it was two bedrooms, with a bathroom to share. The kitchen was the only place, besides the bathroom, that was tiled. The fist against my door never stops. I unlatch the three locks before swinging the door open, " What the fuck do you-?" I am surprised to see Wolf glaring at me, what surprised me, even more, is Maria with tear stains on her cheeks.
"Is everything okay, Wolf?" I feel myself straighten up, something was definitely wrong.
"No, everything is no oh-fucking-kay, Roman. You are the cause of all my problems right now and you are going to fucking fix them." Wolf growls out.
I cock my head to the side, arching my eyebrows, " What the hell did I do Wolf? I've been keeping to myself since Sarah's birthday."
"That is exactly my problem Roman, you had done something that most people don't do at their little sister's birthday party."
It dawns on me that he knows, I glance at Maria with her arms wrapped around herself, looking at the ground, " Wolf, I-I don't know what to say."
"You don't know what to say about taking my little sister's innocence, knocking her up, then never talking to her?"
I freeze at what he just said, knocking her up? I glance between him then Maria. I haven't seen her in three months. She was pregnant?
Wolf must have seen the confusion on my face, he turns around at looks at Maria, " I told you to tell him, Maria. Why the hell didn't you tell him?"
Her hands start to sign quickly, and the rage on her face almost scared me. I froze when she pointed over my shoulder. I had a guess at what she was pointing at, last night conquest.
She wrapped her arms around my waist, and I watched as Maria looked away. I grab the girls arms and pry them off, " You need to go." I state. She huff and stomps past all of us, only dressed in one of my shirts.
Wolf rubs his temples," She just needs to stay here for a while, one of my brother's kids played with a kid that now has measles. We don't know if he is contagious or not. Maria or Harmony hasn't been in contact with them, neither has Jer. But, Eric needs my help, because you know he just had a young baby. So, my house is about to be quarantined.
If Maria catches them it could harm the babies. I need you to step up, Roman and actually take care of Maria and your unborn children. That way the time she stays here you both can figure out how you are going to raise the child.
I'll have a few of my guys bring her clothes later, it is going to be more then two weeks, the rash takes up to fourteen days to show up, we'll know then or not if he has it."
I am frozen as Wolf turns back to Maria she begins to sign, and that is when I notice that her stomach is larger then it should be for three months of pregnancy. It dawns on me then that he had said baby, but babies.
"Babies as in more than one?" I blurt out the question.
Wolf stops for a moment, " Yes, twins actually."
I just stare at her baby bump, or babies bump. I had two babies growing inside someone that I actually cared about. Maria and Wolf continue their silent argument. She wasn't going to tell me about our unborn children? Why would she do that?
Wolf turns back to me"She has a few demands, Roman."
I keep my face blank, "Which is what?"
"She wants her own room, no late-night visitors, and most of all no biker mess around her."
"I can live with that." I say, holding the door open further. Wolf motions for her to go inside. She lays her hand on her slightly rounded stomach. Wolf stays outside, " Like I said, a few prospects will bring her some clothes by later. I have to go move Harmony and Jer to your grandparent's house."
I nod my head, shutting the door when Wolf turns around. I turn and see Maria standing in the middle of the living room, looking around. I knew the apartment was a mess. I walk over to the couch and begin picking up clothes off off the floor, and the blanket that was thrown on the couch. I motion for her to sit down, she stubbornly shakes her head.
"Sit down, please, Maria, so we can talk," I say, looking directly at her.
She shakes her head no again" Why?" I ask, standing up straight, my arm full with clothes and the blanket. She begins to sign. I shake my head, " I don't understand sign language."
She lifts her lips up in a snarl, before reaching in her back pocket and pulling out a small notepad and pen. She angrily scribbles words on the paper before shoving it towards me.
I gently take the notepad and read the words she had elegantly wrote: I don't know what type of whores you have fucked on that couch.
I grind my teeth before looking at her, "None, I fuck them all on my bed. Now follow me to my guest room."
She huffs as I turn and walk away, but I hear her footsteps. I stop at the end of the hall, turning to the left I open the door, then moved her to the room. I turn straight again and open that door, revealing the bathroom as well as the laundry room.
I walk to the washer, shoving everything inside before dropping a laundry pod inside and setting it to quick wash.
Maria is just watching me. I take a deep breath, "Everything here you are welcomed to. I am heading back to bed, I didn't get much sleep last night. If you need anything to wake me up, and don't answer the door for anyone."
She is glaring at me again. I brush it off and head to my too, opening the door across from her's before quickly shutting the door. I needed time to rest and think. I was going to become a father. Maria was going to be the mother of my children. I have to keep them all safe, no matter what.
