2 days later…
Our baby girl is amazing. I couldn’t ask for a better baby. Mia sleeps her nights and she’s not a very fussy baby. I’ve lucked out while my sister is having troubles with Geri-Ann, still. She did as my mother told her and nothing has worked. I feel for my sister. Ace is trying to do as much as he can. Thank God, Dalton helps so much, taking a shower feels like a privilege now.
I think back to the day, we found out what we were having. Viper was all excited, hoping it was a boy because he didn’t want to end up having a little girl because of what Ace and the other guys were feeding him, lies about what will happen if it’s a girl, blah blah blah. God, he’s gullible. Ace told him something about boys will be coming around, sniffing around his baby girl and what not.
I’m thankful that there wasn’t a throw down in the examiner room when we went to see the sex of the baby. Dalton and Max have some bad blood between them, at the time. It’s better now, thank God. I remember his face when Max told us it’s a girl. He looked horrid, almost like he was going to be ill. But his face was priceless, I laughed at him and he scowled at me, hissing under his breath, that it wasn’t funny. What? His facial expression was funny, I couldn’t help it.
I was so happy finding out, it’s a girl. I’ve always wanted a little girl. Mommy and daughter times are going to be so much fun. I have a feeling she’s going to be a daddy’s girl thought. It’s just a hunch. I can see Viper and our little girl now. She’ll have him wrapped around her little finger, I just know it. Poor bastard, doesn’t have any idea what he’s in for. I had my father wrapped around my finger. I know the great lengths a father goes through for their little girl. Mia is going to be a little spoiled.
I thank God, every day for Mia, I was so worried that something would happen and take my baby away but I took things easy just like Dalton told me too. He didn’t want anything to happen to Mia or me. I loved her so much already, when she was still in my belly, I didn’t think you could love someone so much, whom you never met, till she was placed on my chest. My heart was beating wildly when I look down at her for the first time. She’s mine, my little girl. The only thing I’ve ever wanted in this world. I’m glad that God, heard my prayers and Mia came into the world. I don’t know what I would’ve done if she was taken from me. I would have died, she’s my world besides Dalton now. I’ll protect her with my life.
Today’s one fucking killer hot day out, the heat and I, don’t seem to mix, very well. Mia doesn’t seem to be affected by the heat, like I am. We’re having a little get-together today, at our house. The guys were in dumbstruck when they finally got to see Dalton’s house. Ace hasn’t really been here fully before today, either and they are the best of friends. He’s come to drop Alison off with Geri-Ann sometimes, but besides that he hasn’t stepped foot in the house. I don’t know if it was to give Dalton space that didn’t involve the club or what, but I told Dalton, they’re his family and they all want to see Mia. I understand he wants them around. I know that he’ll protect Mia and me from any harm with his club life, as I would protect them both with mine.
I’m snapped away from my thoughts by my hubby-to-be manning the grill. God, he’s sexy as hell with his shorts and muscle shirt. God, if I wasn’t so hot, I would take my soon to be hubby upstairs for a round but today I’m worn out solid, and all I did was walk from inside the house to outside on the back deck. I sigh heavily and my sister chuckles.
Alison is sitting beside me looking at me with a raised brow. “I guess it’s safe to assume that you want to tear that shit up?” she laughs at my tactics. I glare at her, she’s not even the least bit funny right now. I want my man, but Mia is awake. I’m sure my mother would watch her but Dalton is cooking on the grill. The guys are all starving, they keep grumbling.
“Shut up,” I grumble.
Geri-Ann starts to whine in my sisters’ arms. God, she’s gotten so big. She’s already eight months old. She’s going to give all the boys a run for their money. She’s going to be a little heartbreaker, that’s for sure. Ace will have a fight on his hands, when the time comes when she starts dating. I can’t help but chuckle out loud and my sister grins at me. “What are you laughing about?” she asks.
“Oh, nothing much really,” I grin evilly. “Just thinking about when Geri-Ann starts getting boys coming around,” I say casually and my sisters’ eyes widen in horror. She then turns to look at Ace who is at the grill as well, talking to Dalton.
“Don’t you dare say anything to Hayden, Tammy. You’ll get him to go off again, about her being locked up till she’s thirty,” she says and I lose it. God, it feels good to laugh. I have tears in my eyes from laughing so much. I cross my legs because it feels like I’m going to pee my pants, if I don’t stop. I take a few deep calming breaths.
I feel something cool touch the back of my neck. I tilt my head back and see Dalton standing behind me with the sweetest smile on his face. “That feel better, baby?” he asks and I nod my head, closing my eyes. It feels like heaven. I groan and my sister cracks a joke to Dalton that the cloth has replaced him in the sex department. I swear the more she’s around the guys, the more she jokes like them. I shake my head and glare at my sister.
“Nothing could replace my big cock, sis. Nothing!” I say with the straightest face and my sister’s eyes widen, and I hear Dalton coughing as he chokes on his beer. Oops! Oh well, that comment should shut my sister up for a little while.
“Are you alright, Dalton,” I hear him still coughing a little.
“I’m fine, baby. But Damn warn me next time you want to talk dirty,” he croaks out. I shake my head and giggle. He loves it!
Destiny’s son, Jackson is the spitting image of Dalton, when he was a baby. Dalton wanted me to be there with him at the hospital while she was in labor. I stayed as much as I could but it took a lot out of me. I didn’t want to be there and see the interaction of them both. Destiny wanted to name him Brandon but Dalton said that he wanted his son named, Jackson. They argued a little about it, but Dalton won in the end. Jackson is now two months old and is going to be here later after Destiny finishes work. I guess, Destiny’s parents are down visiting and are spending some time with Jackson, before they return home. I don’t know how such loving parents could have someone like Destiny as t their daughter. Her parents are sweet and caring. I can’t wrap my head around it. I suddenly feel really tired and my eyes are getting heavy. God, it’s like I can’t even go three hours without having a nap these days. It’s not like Mia isn’t sleeping at night, it’s just a new routine I must get used too. I stand up from the table and Dalton stands behind me, wrapping his arms around me.
“You feeling okay?” he whispers in my ear.
“I feel fine, just tired. I think, I’m going to go lay down for a bit upstairs,” I mention and Dalton walks around me and frowns.
“You’ve been really tired lately, are you sure your alright?” he asks again and I nod my head.
“Yes, Dalton, it’s normal, we have a newborn and it’s an adjustment, that’s all. I’ll be better in a day or two.” He nods.
“I’ll take care of Mia. You go and rest, baby.”
I walk over to my mother, who has Mia in her arms. I lean over and kiss Mia’s cheek and she smiles at me. For only being two days old, she loves her facial expressions. It’s cute to see.
I tell everyone that I’ll be back after, I just need my cat nap and everybody chuckles. Dalton helps me upstairs to our room and lays me down on the bed. My eyes close and he kisses my forehead.
“I love you baby,” he whispers and I mutter it back and before I know it. I’m knocked out solid.
I don’t have any idea how long I’ve been napping for, but the hurried footsteps of someone coming up the stairs and the bedroom being flung open and the door to hits the wall. I jump up in bed and look around wide-eyed, not sure what to expect. There’s a little pain in my side from moving so fast and I wince. I’m glad that Viper didn’t see because he would be so worried about me. I’m still a little sore from the delivery. I had eight stitches, EIGHT! The doctor said it’s normal. He gave me meds for it but I don’t like taking them because they make me sleepy.
I see the person standing there is Dalton with a distressed look on his face. “What’s wrong?”
I start to panic because he doesn’t say anything right off the bat. “What happened?” I ask.
Dalton sighs heavily and grabs his hair. “Destiny was taken to the hospital for an overdose. She had her new boyfriend over and they were shooting up. Thank God, Jackson was with her parents, but her parents found her passed out.” his voice cracks from emotion. Oh, my God!
“Oh, My God, is Jackson okay?” I ask and he looks like he’s ready to lose it.
“I have to go… I have to go, get Jackson,” Dalton whispers and I nod my head. He’s torn on what the hell is going on. Today, was a great day and then boom, this happens.
“You go. I’ll stay here with Mia. Is everyone still downstairs?” I ask, while Dalton moves around the room, looking for his wallet.
Dalton’s head snaps up. “Your parents and Ace and your sister are still here. Everyone else went home,” he presses.
“I hope Destiny is okay,” I murmur. She might not be my favorite person in the world but still she has a son with the man I love. What the hell was she thinking. Heroine on top of it.
Dalton’s eyes flare with fire. “Destiny needs to get her fucking act together. She’s a mother, she shouldn’t be shooting fucking heroine with her low-life boyfriend,” he snarls.
Dalton told me a week ago, that he talked to Destiny about me adopting Jackson because she hasn’t shown any motherly traits. She’s always out partying and fucking anything that has a dick. She’s too busy to take care for Jackson, it’s like she can’t be bothered with him.
Dalton kisses me before he leaves to go get Jackson. I’m sitting down outside with my parents and Alison in shock about what has happened. I’m holding Mia tight to my chest and she whimpers like she knows her older brother is in distress.
“Don’t worry, Mia. Jackson will be home soon and he’ll be safe,” I whisper, rocking her in my arms.
