Our Hearts (Book 3)

CHAPTER 10

~WESTON~

We're on our way to the mall in Hero's car. his hand is placed on my thigh. I'm looking out through the windshield and my mind wanders away. I'm still surprised about the whole thing with Shay and Damon. I feel bad for him. She used him to get to me. In the end, it's always my fault that everyone is hurting. "What's on your mind, babe?" Hero asks. "Shay and Damon."

"Yeah. I feel bad for him." I sigh. "Me too. This is just another thing that is my fault." I tell him. "Don't say that, babe. You did what you needed to do to survive in there." He says. "Yeah, but it still comes back and bites me in the ass. Wherever I go or whatever I do. I'll always meet someone who knows someone that I hurt or killed. I keep dragging you into my problems."

"It's our problem. We're married and I don't care. I love you." He's too good to be true. "I love you too." He squeezes my thigh. "Please stop beating yourself up. We're going baby shopping, remember?" I smile.

"Yes, you're right. Do you think we should tell the others about the gender?" I ask. "Sure. If you want to."

"I want to buy some funny shirts for Vince, Seth, Pollux, and Damon."

"About them having a niece?" He asks. "Yeah!"

"Oh, that would be so fun. Let's do that." Hero parks the car and when we get out he pulls me closer to him and hugs me with tenderness. He kissed my lips. "Come on, babe. Let's buy some stuff for our Angel." He says. "I love it when you call her that." He smiles and my heart flutters. That goddamn smile makes my knees weak and my breathing gets heavier. He's a work of art.

"I love saying it."

"You're going to be the best father ever." I tell him and he smiles again. "And you're going to be the best mother ever." I gave him a weak smile. Because I know that's not true. I'm going to be a horrible mother. I feel like a child myself. Every woman who ever gave birth says that it'll come naturally. It's in our genes but I think I skipped that gene. There is nothing unless it's running my mouth, kill or hit people, and fuck, nothing comes naturally. I don't have a motherly bone in my body. "Stop!" Hero says.

"What?"

"You're thinking that you're going to be a horrible mother but that's bullshit. I've seen you when you talk to her, when you sing to her, how you gently rub your belly, how you always sleep with one protective hand over her. Those things are motherhood as well. You're doing it even if she isn't born yet. That's a mother's instinct." He read my mind. "Maybe, but I'm so scared, Hero."

"I know. Me too but together we are what we can't be alone, right?" I nod. "Please stop second-guessing yourself. We'll figure it out." I nod again. Hero takes my hand and we walk into the mall. They have so many clothes and cute things for baby girls. Hero is actually more excited than I am but his enthusiasm takes away my insecurities and doubts. We'll be fine. I'll be fine with him beside me, I can do anything. We buy outfit after outfit, we buy bottles and pacifiers. We buy sheets, pillows, and blankets.

"I think that's enough for now, babe. We haven't even got her nursery ready yet." I tell him. "You're right. I'll start with that tomorrow and you can do online shopping and order furniture and interior, okay? And decide what colors the nursery should have." He says. "That sounds good. We have to decide on a name for her. I want to write it on the wall over her crib."

"Of course. We should look for names on our own and then look at the suggestions together." I smile at him. My big bad biker boy is so invested in this. It warms my heart. He's absolutely the best thing that ever happened to me. "Look, there they have T-shirts with funny quotes and stuff. Maybe we can find T-shirts for her uncles?"

"Yes!" This is going to be so much fun to see their reaction when they find out the gender. They're gonna have a fit. Another Weston. Well, I hope she takes after Hero, cause even I don't know if I can handle another Weston.

~BACK AT THE CLUBHOUSE~

"Seth! Vince!" I yell. They look at each other with their eyes wide. "What the fuck did you do?" Vince asks Seth. "Me? I didn't do anything, dude. What did you do?"

"I didn't do anything." Vince said. "Pollux and Damon, get your asses down here!" Hero yells. "Shit! Boss is pissed." Vince says. "What did we do?" Seth looks at me and then at Hero. "I'll bring you up to speed soon enough." Hero said.

"I'm sure you will." Vince sounds a little anxious. I bite my tongue, I'm about to burst out laughing. My coward brothers. Whenever I raise my voice at them they look like scared dogs with their tails between their legs but when Hero raises his voice, they look like they want to sink through the floor. "What's he yelling about? I was busy!" Pollux says walking down the stairs.

"Shut up!" Hero tells him. Pollux lifts his hands in surrender. "What's the fuss about? I was sleeping." Damon says. "Take a fucking seat!" I yelled and they obliged. We hand them all a package. "Is this where you guys kill me?" Damon asks. "What is this?" Pollux asks.

"I'm afraid. Honestly." Seth said and Vince agrees. "Pussies! Just shut the fuck up and open your packages at the same time. On my count." They swallow hard and nod. "Three...Two...One..." They start to peel off the gift wraps and when they see what's inside they all look at us. "It's...a...baby...girl?" Everyone says a different word. First Vince, Seth, Pollux, and then Damon. Hero and I nod.

"Another Weston?" Vince asks. "Oh, boy." Seth said. "Sweet." Pollux says with a big smile. "I think that's amazing." Damon said. The four of them stand up and fight their way over to me. They attack me with hugs. "I'm never taking this shirt off after she's born. My little princess." Seth said and Vince agrees.

"I'm gonna be the coolest uncle ever!" Pollux yells. "I have no words. Thank you for letting me be a part of this."

"You're welcome." They show their shirts to all the other guys and I'm so happy right now. With four badass uncles, a beast for a father, and a crazy bitch for a mother. I think our girl is going to be safe.
