Chapter Twenty-One
Colt
My phone wakes me the next morning and I search around for my jeans
“Colt” Niya says and pushes me
“I got it babe” I answer it “What?” I yell at the person on the phone
“Baby your Grandma's in the hospital” my mom says on the other end of the phone and I jump up so fast and pull my clothes on
“Colt what's wrong” I hear Niya say as she sits up
“My Grandma's in the hospital” she jumps up grabbing her clothes and we both run out the door almost knocking Cuff over
“Sorry” we both yell running down the hall
We make it to the hospital in less than twenty minutes, I don't think I've ridden that fast with Niya on the back, ever! but knowing my Grandma was in the hospital stopped my brain from functioning and I was just on autopilot to get there.
“Mom” I say as we walk in all the family are there waiting
“How is she?”
“I don't know they haven't come back to tell us anything, Oh Tobias what if she dies” she grabs me and bursts into tears
“Mom you gotta think positive ok what happened”
“We were playing cards and she said she felt funny, she got up to get a drink and she collapsed. She bursts into tears again and I hug her tighter, I hug my Aunts as we sit and wait for the doctor.
Niya went and called Stryker, Tiny, Razor and Maggie to tell them what had happened and within the hour, there was a waiting room full of Devils Soldiers. Two doctors walk out of the doors and stop when they see us all and one stutters
“Ggrraacce Douglas” we all stand “Immediate family” he says but we still all stand
“Yes, she's our mother” mom says stepping forward
“Hello I'm Dr Alan Beatty I'm the neurologist on call here at the hospital and this is my college Dr Francis Alder she was the attending when they brought your mother in.
“We sent her for a CT and your mothers fall was caused by a small blockage in her brain”
“What does that mean?” my mom asks
“It means your mother had a stroke”
“Oh my god” mom says and I hold her tighter
“How bad” Uncle Mark asks
“She's unresponsive at the moment it's up to Mrs Douglas when she wakes up”
“How bad?” my Uncle Mark asks again sounding pissed off
“Your mother is lucky that you got her in here as soon as possible”
“How fucking bad?” Uncle Mark yells and mom grabs his hand
“We've diagnosed a thrombotic stroke which is caused by a blood clot forming in one of the arteries of the head”
“What the hell does that mean?” I ask
“It means that theirs a build-up of fatty deposits in the blood vessels we have her on an IV of plasminogen activator, we'll keep her on that for a few hours and let the medication work and later we'll get her on heparin to prevent any other clots forming, I'll get one of the nurses in to get some details off of you”
“When can we see her” my Aunt asks
“There just getting her settled into a room now, you can see her when the nurse comes out for you, you done really well the doctor pats mom on the arm the faster we treat a stroke the better the chances of a better recovery”
“Thanks doc” I pull mom to sit down before she falls, it feels like fuckin' ages when the nurse comes out
“Grace Douglas” mom stands
“Immediate family only and only two at a time” Mom and Aunt Alma go in first, we spend most of the day checking on her it takes two days for her to wake up, I'm sitting in the most uncomfortable chair next to her and I can see mom's anxious for Grandma to wake up
“Mom go and get something to eat you to Uncle Mark I'll watch her”
“Ok baby” I watch my mom and my Uncle walk out I'm sittin' there for another couple of minutes when I look up and she's staring at me.
“What the hell Grandma? your awake let me get the doctor” I run out of the room and bring in the nurse and text mom
'she's awake'
“What am I doing here?” Grandma says
“Grandma you had a stroke”
“Fuck I feel like shit” I laugh I've only ever heard my Grandma swear a couple of times and it still shocks me
“MOM” I hear and Uncle Mark and mom rush to her
“I'm fine stop fussing”
“Mom you had a stroke”
“I know Tobias told me”
“How do you feel mom” Uncle Mark asks
“I feel fine” A nurse walks in and smiles
“Nice to have you back Mrs Douglas how do you feel”
“I feel fine” Grandma says again
“Well I'll get the doctor” she walks out
“Mom you had us so worried” my mom cries
“Oh, stop fussing I'm fine see everything works” she shakes her hands
“Well back in the land of the living Mrs Douglas how do you feel” the doctor says when he comes in
“I feel fine doctor” Grandma says
“Let’s do some tests and we'll go from there hay”
“Sounds good”
“Can I have the room please” we all leave her in there with the doctor and nurse. The doctors in there for a half an hour when he comes out again
“Well what's the verdict” Uncle Mark asks him
“Your mother has made a remarkable recovery it's still early but there doesn’t seem to be any damage at the moment but time will tell, she'll need to be monitored for the next few days but I'm hopeful that she'll make a full recovery” Mom jumps on the doctor and hugs him
“Thank you so much” she says with the biggest smile on her face
“Trust me it was all your mother” he says patting my mom on the back
“Well thank you anyway” mom says to him
My Grandma had to stay in the hospital for a week, it was the first week that Niya wasn't here she'd been sick all week with Tonsillitis so she was home in bed on antibiotics
“Mornin' Grandma” I say walkin’ in
“Hay baby boy”
“Grandma you know I'm twenty-one right” I tell her smilin’
“Oh, Tobias you'll always be my baby boy now give me some sugar” I lean over and kiss her cheek
“Where's Niya” she asks looking behind me
“Oh, she's at home sick, Tonsillitis” I tell her
“Oh, give her my love”
“Don't worry Maggie's in heaven lookin' after her”
**
It's was a week before the hospital released my Grandma and she was back at home everyone from the club visited and we ended up having a small party my Aunt Alma was not too happy about it Grandma telling her to relax and have a drink.
“Baby come here” I dragged her into my old room
“Colt it's your Grandma's welcome home party”
“I know I've just missed you you've been sick and I haven't had this pussy in two weeks baby I need you” I grind my dick on her ass
“Colt” she whispers but rubs her ass on my dick
“Just a quick one baby” I unbutton her jeans and slide my finger into her hot pussy (nice and wet)
“Oh Colt” she reaches behind her and undoes my jeans and pulls my dick out
“Colt I wanna taste you”
“Uh-uh baby hands on the wall” she reaches up placing both hands on the wall and I slowly pull her jeans and panties down to her knees
“Bend over a little baby” she shimmy's her hands down the wall and her perfect ass is at a good fuckin' angle where I know I'll hit all the right spots, I trace the outline of her spine with my finger and reach the crack of her ass
“Can't wait to fuck this little hole baby” I glide my fingers down into her pussy and she moans, I rub some of her pussy juices on her asshole and rub with a little more pressure
“Oh Colt”
“Shh baby” I slide my dick home into her hot wet pussy and fuck her in my childhood bedroom while covering her mouth so she doesn’t scream.

After everyone left Niya and I stayed behind to help with the clean-up, mom telling us to go but I wanted to spend a little bit more time with my Grandmother and Niya insisted that she help with the mess (fuck I'm a lucky fucker)
“Tobias come here and sit with me”
“Ok what's up?”
“You ganna marry that girl” she motions towards Niya who's helping mom in the kitchen, Niya has been with me the whole time apart from when she was sick, whenever I went to the hospital she was with me, she brought all of us food and drinks and kept mom from falling apart
“Yep” I say watchin' the two women I love most and talking to the other
“Good she's a keeper that one”
“Don't I fuckin' know it Grandma”
“Here” she hands me a small black leather ring box
“What's this?”
“Open it” I slowly lift the lid and theirs a huge fuckin' diamond ring and small diamond band
“What the fuck Grandma?”
“These where my mother’s wedding and engagement rings”
“Grandma I can't take these”
“Yes, you can and you will”
“You should give these to Lilly or Rose”
“No, I want you to have them”
“Grandma”
“Tobias I've lived a happy life, I have my own rings to hand down to my children” and she lifts up her hand and I see her gold and diamond wedding bands “These where my mothers and I want you and Niya to have them”
“Grandma there.... fuck their fuck, I just don't feel right” I tell her shakin’ my head
“Honey take them, I can't wait to see them on Niya's hand”
“But”
“No buts take them” I stare at the beautiful ring set and imagine myself proposin' to Niya, fuck they'd look amazing on her hand “they look expensive grandma”
“Well when my mama was alive daddy had them praised at Forty-thousand”
“Dollars”
“Yes, dollars so you'll need to go in and have them valued for insurance there probably up to about fifty buy now”
“Fuck Grandma I can't” I go to hand them back to her and she clasps my hands closed
“There yours and I'm not taken them back” she sits back and turns the TV on ending the conversation
“What are you two talking about in here?” mom says as her and Niya walk in
“Nothing” Grandma says and winks at me
**
The next week flies by so fast Grandma's better, Niya's back at work and I'm back at the shop
“Fuck” Stryker says lookin' at the ring in my hand “How much is that worth?” he asks
“No idea” I tell him
“Take it to the Jeweller on main street and have it appraised”
“I don't know”
“You havin' second thoughts”
“Fuck no” having this ring in my pocket is killing me knowing that it's there every time I see Niya I wanna get down on one knee, I'm really turning into a pussy.
“Just fuckin' propose than”
*
As I walk into the Jeweller’s at lunch the guard at the door watches me makin' me smile and I head straight for the counter
“Yes, Sir how can I help you today” a man in a very expensive suit asks
“Yeah I need this ring appraised” and I hand him the box
“Oh, my where did you get these” he asks raising his appraisers tool to look at the rings
“It was my great Grandmother's”
“Well let me say your great Grandfather had exquisite taste”
“What's it worth?” I ask just wanting to know
“Oh, ok have you got the paper work for the ring” I hand him the folder my Grandmother gave me
“Oh the cut is amazing it's a Platinum band 3.05ct Ascher cut diamond H colour with VS1 clarity with twelve baguette cut diamonds H colour and VS2/SI1 clarity and two bullet cut diamonds with the same clarity as the other twelve weight all together is 4.35 and is valued at approximately eighty-eight thousand and the wedding band is also a Platinum band width of 2.5mm five emerald bezel shape gemstones setting total weight 0.19 colour F/G clarity SI1 and four round gemstones in a Prong set F/G colour SI1 clarity weight 0.11 value of this ring is approximately two and a half thousand so all up since the last valuation of both rings just under Ninety One thousand dollars. But if I where you I would have them insured for at least two-hundred thousand I'm stunned and I just stare at the guy.
“Sir are you ok” he asks me
“Did you say Ninety-One thousand dollars” he nods his head
“Yes, sir you have a magnificent set on your hands”
“Ninety-One thousand dollars” I repeat and he nods his head again smiling
“I would love to make you an offer on the rings if you would ever love to sell them”
“I... I... I don't think so but thanks”
“A shame I would love to own them, please take my card just in case you change your mind” I'm stunned Ninety-One-grand! Ninety-One fuckin' grand! I walk back into the garage and Stryker looks up
“So, how’d it go? what’d he price it at?”
“You not ganna fuckin' believe me”
“So just fuckin' tell me”
“Ninety-One thousand dollars” I say and the look of shock on his face (yep I had the same reaction)
“Fuck off your jokin'” he says lookin’ at the small box
“Nope” I say shakin’ my head
“Fuck man, are you ganna keep it”
“I'm ganna talk to Grandma again maybe she should sell it and use the money for herself”
*
After work, I make my way over to my Grandma's
“Tobias, you look sick are you ok” she asks me
“Grandma I had the ring appraised today” I tell her
“Oh yeah what did they say”
“There worth Ninety-One Thousand-dollars Grandma”
“Fuck off” she says surprised
“I'm not joking” I pass the ring box back to her
“What you don't want it?”
“It's.... you should sell it and use the money for yourself take a vacation buy a new car”
“Tobias Wade I gave you this ring to give to the women who you’re going to marry and I will not under any circumstances take it back it's yours” she hands the rings back
“But”
“No buts it's yours”
*
I stare at the ring for the longest time when I get back to the clubhouse
“Hay fuck nut you hungry” Stryker says from my door
“Wow you still got it”
“Yeah she wouldn't take it back”
“What you ganna do?” I look at him
“Ganna have to come up with an idea on how to propose to Niya”
“Dude you love her that much”
“No man I fuckin' love her more” I tell him honestly
“Shit man I'm happy for ya” he slaps me on the back “Well than man get the fuck up so we can go and celebrate”
