"I'm fucking said I'm coming!" Shanks chest vibrates and his loud voice booms through his chest as he lay behind me in the bath.
I jump up, startled. He's quick to place a hand on my arm to settle me. "Sorry, babe." He gets up out the water, no shame in his naked glory. I just draw my knees to my chest to watching him in the cooling water.
The small white towel strains to cover all his muscle and ass, sculpting every thought out piece of flesh.
He turns around, bringing my eyes to his dick. I blush but still bring my eyes level to his, raking his body in the proccess. He smirks down at me. I look away, shaking my head in mortification.
"Its all yours, babe." He leans down and kisses my head.
All mine! Too caught up in everything else, the thought of his other women never crossed my mind so I never laid down the law about it.
"Where are you going, if I can know?" I ask instead.
He opens the bathroom door and walks out into the room. At first, I think thats his way of telling me I can't know so I just stand up and grab a towel and let the water out of the tub.
But then he speaks. "We're going to meet with them." His voice is quiet so I turn to find him right behind me in the doorway. They don't want people to know. He didn't ask me if I still wanted to know if I couldn't tell anyone. He took my choice away. Because he knows I have to know. And he knows he can trust me.
"You can't tell anyone because I dont know who knows. Some woman survive knowing nothing and some survive by knowing everything. No in betweens." He cups my face in his large hands.
I nod up at him. He kisses my forehead and turns back around to finish dressing.
"Is it such a good idea for you to go, Shane?" I ask him hesitantly. I dont want to undermind their vote. He looks over to where I stand leaning against the wall.
"No. But they requested my presence." He admits quietly.
They did.
"Why? That doesn't sound safe, Shank! What if they- what if you get hurt?" I start freaking out. He turns from the dresser where he's loading his pockets up with clips to grab my shoulders and pull me to his chest. For a second I think hes gonna snap out and tell me to shut up.
"Shh. Its fine. You feel that, babe? Its a vest. I got a bullet proof vest on. I've been shot in the legs plenty of times. I will be fine." He rubs his hands up and down my back.
"And your head? What if you're shot in the head?" I counter back.
"In a tough headed sonofabitch." He chuckles, trying to lighten my mood.
I take a deep breath and shake my head in his chest. He'll be fine. The others won't let anything happen to him.
He pulls back amd kisses me long and hard. "Find as many medical supplies as you can and make a list of what we dont have because you and Jewel are going to get them." He tells me.
I don't argue and do what I'm told. There's a lot less people around the club which means theyre all back in their rooms probably saying their byes like Shank and I just did. The kids are piled infront of the huge flat screen with a few club girls watching over them.
I search through the empty bathrooms, the kitchen, hallway shelves, and counters for pain meds, tape, gauze, bandaids, and anything else I can get my hands on and stack it all on the bar. As the others come out, they hand me what they have from their bags or bathrooms.
I check it all over and write things we dont have or need more of. Shank comes over to me from the room.
"How much?" He asks.
I glance over the list. "Not much. I probably have this all at the house."
"Take Jewel and hurry." He grabs me and brings out foreheads together. I wrap my arms around him. He opens his mouth and shuts it a few times, his face scrunching into a scowl. "I-" he starts then growls.
"I have love for you. You know that right?" He asks as he states at me. Vulnerability vibrant in his dark eyes. I smile. "I know. I love you. Make sure you say bye to Shane." I peck his lips.
Jewel waits for me by the door and we hop in Paniks truck.
°·.°·.°·.°·.°·.°·.°·.°·.°·.°·.°·.°·.°·.°·.°·.°·.°·.°·.°·.°·.°
There's still now word when I get back to the club house with jewel and the supplies.
Anxiety is eating me away but if I start to worry, so will Shane. So we all just wait around basically sitting on our thumbs waiting on an answer.
"Margo!" Someone calls her from the back. She gets up from the bar where shes been overseeing everything since they left. I can see the why they respect her so much.
I take over her position. Everyone is quiet sitting around or sleeping. There's some small talk but no full conversations or laughing.
"Everyone get down in the cellar!" She runs back out. Everyone jumps up and starts running towards the back door and disappearing down a hidden door. I shove a lot of the medical supplies in a huge duffle bag and order Shane to go downstairs with the rest of them.
The front door all of a sudden bursts open and at first I think it's the police raiding us or something like they set us up. But I soon find it's much worse. Its them. The leader from my encounter at the store is amoung them.
"How nice to see you again, doc." He smiles at me.
In the reflection off a picture hanging off the wall, I see Margo still waiting by the cellar door. I shake my head slowly, urging her to go on. She stands there a minute then quietly slips the door shut behind her.
The other men grab the extra bodies that didnt make it down the cellar. I glance around and am relieved to find there's no kids left. I see daisey is amoung the women grabbed though and I'm pretty sure thats Patchs old lady.
Out the corner of my eye, I see the Leaders fist fly towards my face. And I black out.
"Missy! Missy! Get up!" Someone shakes me.
I open my eyes to find Shank above me. I turn my head and see all the guys are back.
"Where is everyone?" Lynol storms over to me.
Shank glares at him.
"The cellar. Margos in the cellar. But Daisey-" Her name catches Patchs attention. He hurries over. I climb to my knees but am in too much stomach pain to get to my feet.
"I think they took her. Not everyone made it down in time." I clutch my stomach.
I hear the cellar door open and Lynol shout.
"Shit, babe! Its me! It's just me!" Her gun is aimed right in his face, trigger ready to be pulled.
She lowers it and breathes out a sigh in relief. Sydney rushes to Lynol. They move out the way so that others can come put to their men.
Shane runs to me and Shank.
I roll into fetus position and clutch my stomach. Thats how I notice the blood seeping out. "Oh." I groan out.
"Missy?" I hear Lacie come towards me.
Now is the wrong time to get my period. But these cramps got me unable to move.
Well you aint had it in awhile.
What?
I count back to the last time inhad my period and it was right before I came back to town for dad's house. That was about 3 months ago.
Oh no.
I think back to the other week with the bacon.
"Oh my God. Oh my God." I push myself to my hands and knees.
"What is it?" Margo asks, coming over too.
But I can't form words. I ball my hands into fists and dig my nails into my palms. "No." I gasp out.
I clumsily unbutton my shorts and reach down to pull my hand back out covered in blood. And the little fetus in my palm. I scream. Shane starts crying into a baffled Shank.
"She's having a miscarriage." Lacie rushes down to the floor with me.
I glance up from the little fetus and look straight into Schiz's eyes. His mouth drops.
