Biker Baby

Chapter Twenty

~Chapter Twenty~

I smile into the mirror. I turn to my side again and the smile is still on my face. I have a flat stomach. Well as flat as it's going to get anyway.
I know some women lose their baby weight in the first month but I couldn't do anything in thy first month but now, just walking around the house and club house is doing me good.
I would love to go for a run or walk with Aneika but nope, not allowed to go anywhere alone.
Since the almost kidnapping of our daughter two nights ago, Sam has put two guys on me, following me everywhere I go and while it does get annoying, it's also kind of refreshing.
We are still at the club house, even though shit was sorted with the club,the shot with the Blasters isn't sorted and Sam and I both don't want to risk it.
'What are you doing?' I turn and see Sam standing at the door in amusement.
'My stomach is flat again' I smile. I'm only standing in a bra and my underwear, not even embarrassed.
'Wouldn't matter if it wasn't doll face' he walks over, shutting the door and wraps an arm around my waist.
'It's still weird not having that huge bulge' he laughs.
'I know' I laugh 'I forgot what my body used to look like'
'Get dressed' he tells me, kissing my neck and stepping away to sit on the bed.
Once I've slipped some jeans on and a tank top, we both head out.
'Right on time' Kendra grins 'Baby girl is hungry'
I take my daughter from her and go sit on the couch with a blanket. I don't mind feeding her in front of everyone but Sam doesn't like that a bar full of men would be staring at my chest.
Holly comes to sit beside me, helping me stay covered while Aneika latches on.
'Water' she hands me a bottle of water and I smile.
'I didn't realise how thirsty I get when I feed' I tell her. The nurses told me it was normal to feel thirsty while she's feeding. I forget the reasons now but I'm not worried anymore.
'So, I was planning on going shopping today' Holly starts. 'I know you want to join me' she grins.
'I do' I nod. 'Go ask your brother' she nods and skips away to where Sam is talking with Jacob.
Chet and Scotty who are newly patched in members are our protection for today's trip since Sam and Jacob have club crap to do.
I enjoy the day shopping and spending time with Holly, it's been too long since I've done it.
'So, how are you and my dumb ass brother?' Holly asks.
'Good' I nod 'We did have that massive blow out the other night...' I trail off, remembering how it ended. A blush rises to me cheek so I shake my head from the thoughts 'But we're fine'
'Yeah, he's a bit of dick but it comes with the club. Danger is everywhere when you're involved'
'Yep' I nod 'I don't care about my safety, I can deal with all that but I just can't deal with anyone trying to hurt my baby'
'I don't blame you, we were all wild that night. Jacob wanted to go blow their club up right then and there'
'What stopped him?' I ask.
'Sam' she says 'He had to wait for Sam and he took a little longer than his wild anger stage was and by the time Sam got back out there, he was calm enough to think of a new plan'
'If I hadn't of taken that gun, I would probably be shot or Aneika would have been taken' I say. Sam only followed me because he knew I had a gun.
'I know and you're lucky Sam is quick with that trigger' Holly agrees.
I nod in agreement and find a cute little shirt for Aneika.
A thought had been playing on my mind and i couldn't stop myself 'Who was he?' I asked 'The guy you're in love with'
She looks taken back a moment 'How...?'
I give her a look 'You told me you had been in that situation with a guy and the way you spoke, i knew you were in love' i shrug
'Oh' she says quietly
'You dont have to tell me' i assure her.
'He died' she looks at me. 'Four years ago, he was Ricos brother'
'Sorry you had to go through that' i tell her sincerly.
'After he died, i couldnt be around the club, or my brother for that matter but then you came along and brought me back' she smiles.
I smlie back, not knowing what else to say. 'I miss him everyday and i will always love him but i deal with the pain better these days' she tells me.

When we get back the place is set up for a party but it's more like a dinner party than an alcohol party.
'So, I've decided to bring all the guys together and their wives and kids and have a huge dinner' Kendra smiles.
'Wow, you did all this?' I ask in amazement.
'Yes' she said 'Some of the girls helped' she grins motioning to the other club girls and wives over near the bar.
'Do the guys know about this?' I ask.
'Yep, told them all they better be here and bring their family' she nods. There must be at least five large tables, side by side with chairs for everyone and set up with table cloths and plates.
It's not long before we're all sitting at the table, Aneika in her pusher sleeping between Sam and I and were all talking and waiting for the food to come out.
It's a nice vibe I'm getting, like this is a real family and I know they've always been a family but this feels so right and feels like it's meant to be.
I can't wipe the smile off my face.
I go help Kendra with bringing the food out and within half an hour, our plates are full of food.
Kids are laughing and some are arguing over their food while the adults are talking about stuff that have nothing to do with the club.
'You ok?' Sam asks.
'Yeah' I look at him with a smile 'I just really love this'

~~~~~

The days pass and Sam and Jacob deal with their issues. I finally get to go home and when I walk in with my baby, I know something is off.
'Scarlett' I don't recognise the voice and when I look at the man walking from my room, I don't recognise him.
He has salt an pepper hair, wearing an expensive looking suit and I can tell with the way he walks, he's confident and powerful.
'Who are you?' I hold my baby closer to my chest protectively.
'All you need to know is what I want' he smiles at me. I stay quiet, letting him continue 'Your boyfriends club knows how to dodge the bullet but unfortunately for them, they have a rat and that rat has proof of a few things that will send the whole club to jail'
'What are you talking about?' I ask curiously. Jacob and Sam won't like hearing they have a rat.
'You're going to skip town, you won't mention any of this to your boyfriend. Your baby and you are going to get out while you can escape, if you don't and if you tell Sam any of this today then I will be forced to take action and he can't protect you when he's behind bars'
'Are you black mailing me?' I ask in disgust. 'I can't leave, he will find me'
'By the time he finds out you will being gone' the man laughs 'you don't want to be in the middle of this because it would be a shame if something were to happen that beautiful girl of yours'
'You can threaten me all you like but you leave my daughter out of this' I snap.
'You have one week to leave town Scarlett before the police catch up with the club. How would he feel knowing you could have prevented this?'
'He will kill you' I say.
'He won't know about me' he laughs 'You tell anyone about this and the club will go down in flames and you'll go with it' he's being completely serious and it scares me. 'Have a nice day Scarlett' he walks out the door and all I can do is stand there like a fish out of water.
What the fuck am I meant to do? I can't just leave, he will know and I can't tell him about this.
Tears leak from my eyes as I go put my daughter into her bed. I wipe them away. I can't be weak right now. I have to find a way to fix this.
I have to let Sam and Jacob know what's happened but I can't tell them.
This is going to be harder than I can ever imagine.
