The bed dips beside me and when I peel my eyes open, I find Lynol. He smiled through his freshly busted lip. "What happened?" I give his shiner a tentative touch. He flinched slightly. "Your husband. Couldn't find a way to keep me so he did the next best thing and kept Panik and had me jumped. Were going on lock down." He lies next to me in bed.
"I'm so sorry. This is all my fault. I should have just stayed. I'm burying this club with my bullshit." I kick the blankets off me and start getting out of bed. He grabs my arm and yanks me down back into bed with him.
"Shut up. Well get through all of this." He promises. "You shouldn't have to. I should go back. Leave Sydney here with you and go back with him. It's safer for everyone." The thought knots my stomach but if it means Lynol, the club and Sydney are safe, I'll take it.
Lynol sharply grabs my jaw and snaps my face to his, a menacing look painting his face. "You keep saying shit like that and I'll have ur ass tied to this bed until I kill that bastard myself to ensure you never leave. I love you. This club loves you. We can handle the cops, babe. Everything's being taken to a warehouse outside town under a fake name. Everyone will lay low for awhile, okay?" He rubs small circles in my back. I nod.
"He wants a DNA test on Sydney. He said he's gonna take her and make me come back. You got a way to handle that?" I ask bitterly. It's not fair to be a Bitch to him but I'm stressed out. "I'm sorry." I apologize instantly.
"It's fine. I'll figure it out." He gets up and leaves. The door shuts with unnecessary force. I rub my eyes and sigh. Way to go. I throw some shorts on and follow him out.
He's headed for the kitchen. There's tons of people here. More kids and old ladies than usual. Old ladies don't usually hang around. Tends to cause lots of fights with all the club whores around. Like Lil and me.
Patchs old lady walks up and hugs me. "Hey, Five-oh." She grins. I laugh. "I gotta go find my old man, talk in a bit." I promise before continuing on Lynols path.
I spot him in the kitchen. With Lillian. She has him backed up into a corner, rubbing against him. He's glaring at her. He glances up at me, panicked. She wasted no time.
I grab the whore by her hair and slam her face into the fridge, then the counter, then the wall. A trail of blood left behind. Lynol grabs my shoulder and pulls me off her.
She falls into a heap on the floor, holding her broken nose. "If I stay, she leaves, Lynol. She doesn't know her place." I tell him. "Ok." He starts running his hands up and down my arms to calm me down.
"I'm pregnant." Lillian whimpers from the floor. My heart falls out of my ass. Lynol freezes. I watch as he stares down at the tramp on the floor. I shake my head and back away from him.
"Babe." He reaches out for me. This is too much. One problem after the fucking other with this shit. I shove him off me and push my way through the thick crowd of people to his room.
A hand wraps around my arm and before I can punch whoever it is, I see it's Lynols mom. Holding Sydney. I take my daughter in my arms and bounce her happily.
"My baby. Hi!" I smile at her. She smiles back. "So beautiful." I tell her. "Where's Lynol?" Sylvia asks. "In the kitchen. He got a club whore pregnant." I inform her nonchalantly. Her jaw drops and she starts cursing under her breath as she stomps off towards the kitchen.
I take Sydney to our room and watch her crawl around playing with her teddy bear. Lynol walks through the door then comes over to pick up Sydney. I move away from him when he tries to kiss me.
"Babe, please. She's probably fucking lying for all we know." Lynol reasons while he smiles down at Sydney.
"You're right. And even if she is and even if you did impregnate her by cheating on me, I'll love that baby like you love mine." Hey, shit happens. He grins at me.
"You're amazing. I have a doc on call coming over right now to get piss from that Bitch. And I promise you, babe, if she isn't pregnant and no one claims her, she's gone. And if she tries to come back, I'll let you make Her permanently gone." He tells me. I smile, even though I'm not sure I have it in me to actually kill her.
A knock at the door saves me from our conversation. Lynol calls for them to come in and a beautiful woman with long black hair hair to her ass sways in. On her back is a leather cut a lot like mine. Shes one of the guys old lady. But I've met all the wives and girl friends of the club. She smiles shyly at Lynol and Lynol nods back and I can see how forced the smile is. "Can we talk?" She asks. Who is this now?
"You can come in. This is my old lady, Margo." Lynol nods to where I sit in the floor. I smile politely up at her. "Nice to meet you, I'm Star, Shanks old lady." Star introduces herself. I get to my feet and shake her hand. Lynol snorts beside me.
"Is this your daughter?" She smiles at Sydney. Lynol and I nod. "What do you want, Star?" Lynols voice is hard like I've never heard before. "Shank. He called me yesterday. Hes getting out Saturday on good behavior." I see true happiness in her smile. Lynol snorts again.
I swat his arm. He glares at me next. Oh shit. He's in president mode. "We'll be there." Lynol tells Star. She nods then leaves.
"Sorry." I immediately apologize.
"Not you, babe. Its her. The minute Shank got locked up, she took off with his best friend and now shes here being all fucking joyous and shit like she gives a damn. And he's talking about good behavior but hes been fighting left and fucking right just to have an excuse to see the nurse he's been fucking. They're dysfunctional." He shakes his head. Lord.
"That's crazy." I agree. "Wanna come with me to announce it to the club?" He asks. Its not really a question though. Once I put this leather on, I agreed to uphold the duties of the President's old lady. I nod.
We stand in front of the newly installed doors and Ed shouts for everyone's attention, as part of his job as Secretary. All the noise settles down and all eyes are focused on us. Lynol holds Sydney in his arms while staring back at each set of eyes. "We've just recieved news that our Road Captain, Shank, is being released this Saturday." Lynol announces and everyone cheers.
"Thank god, I thought you were gonna say Go Go was pregnant again." Patch jokes. The room erupts in laughter. I blush at the name. Lynol grins. "Wouldn't be surprised." Ed chirps in. Everyone laughs again. Lynol flips him the bird.
