Epilogue
Some Time Later
A Mt. O Girlie or a KOK Boy . . .
Time had shown itself to be good for Bread and Hestia. Love came through and attached itself like a sidecar for them as they rode together on this road of life. Hestia never saw it for herself. Now she had everything that she never thought that she could have.
Bread always saw it for himself. He just wasn’t sure who would be the leading lady in the plan that God mapped out for him.
From the moment he saw her at Drag The Streets, he knew that she was the one.
Everything about her was just so . . . the one.
The way she lived her life, moved as a healthcare professional, loved her family, his daughter, and led as a leader in her bike club made her the perfect complement for a man like Alexander Conners II.
“Man, when we gonna find out that you having my nephew?” Hades asked with annoyance. “Oh, and I don’t know about that KOK boys shit. It’s a cute theme, considering, but my nephew gonna be Mt. O through and through.”
Bread tittered at his brother-in-law. The baby shower which was held the weekend after Bread and Hestia’s wedding was a must attend, just like their wedding was. It was a wedding to remember.
As an associate at Washington-Smith Brokerage Firm, it gave Bread direct access to Tae Design & Event Firm.
Not only did he have access, but he had the privilege of an associate’s discount.
They needed that because they wanted to plan a wedding and baby shower in less than three months.
If anyone could make it happen, it was Tae Design & Event Firm.
Founder’s Hall located uptown Charlotte was the venue for the wedding and today’s baby shower.
Between the Mount Olympus Riders and the King of Kings, which included the Queens of Kings, they needed all the space they could get.
The guest list for both events was astronomical, and Hestia didn’t care.
When the ladies spoke to her about dialing it back a bit, she would have a fit.
Bread would always come to the rescue to let everyone know that she could have whatever she wanted.
“My boy or girl is gonna be whatever he or she wants to be. They have two options, Mount O and KOK. Well, three, technically, if you count QOK separately,” Bread pointed out.
Which motorcycle club his kid would be in was the furthest thing from his and Hestia’s mind.
Eloise had already proclaimed that she and her bestie, Jessica, would be Mt.
O Goddesses like her Ma Hes. All Bread and Hestia cared about was the health of their baby.
Dr. Hestia Basil took no shorts when it came to her care and the care of her baby.
Hades sucked his teeth. In a mumble, he said, “My nephew is gonna be a Mt. O. I don’t care what y’all talking about.” He is such a brat.
“Here you go, Mommy!” Melanie set down a plate of chicken fries in front of Hestia. “Jade said these are fresh out of the grease.”
Things had taken a turn for the best since Melanie moved to Charlotte.
She never would have imagined that it was the move she needed to truly get the support that she needed.
Laura, one of the Mt. O Goddesses, was in search of an executive assistant right at the time that Melanie needed a job.
As a favor to Hestia, Laura hired her with no questions asked.
The position paid over $70,000 a year. That was more than Melanie had ever earned or even thought she could earn.
A perk of the job was that she was able to travel with Laura.
During the times that she had to travel, Melanie’s sons stayed with Alexander’s parents.
His mother still didn’t care for her overall, but she loved those boys.
As far as Melanie and Lawrence went, their marriage ended with a divorce and five-year jail sentence.
In the end of it all, he was remorseful, felt foolish, and wanted to save his marriage.
He claimed that Angela manipulated him into thinking that Melanie had cheated on him multiple times.
It all came down to the jealous best friend.
“Thank you so much! I love these,” Hestia admitted. She put a chicken fry in her mouth, chewed, then pointed. “See, I’m happy I convinced Jade to cater.”
When Hestia went to Jade about catering her wedding and baby shower, Jade hesitated. She had never catered an event that had close to four hundred people in attendance. Her circle, the Mt. O Goddesses, gave her the confidence that she needed to get the job done.
Jade’s professor thought it was an amazing opportunity and wanted to use it.
The offer came to use the class to help with the job, and the students would be given course credit for it.
With Hestia’s permission, Jade went for it.
Hestia and Bread insisted that they tip the students that helped.
Five hundred dollars was a really great tip.
“You’re going to turn into a chicken damn fry,” Hera jested. “Come on. They are calling y’all so we can find out what the bean in your stomach is.”
Bread’s excitement couldn’t be hidden. Before he could stand, Eloise was next to her Ma Hes to help her up. Eloise and Hera were the only two that knew the gender of the baby. Hestia and Bread wanted to make sure Eloise was a part of their pregnancy journey.
Everyone filed out of the building where the street was blocked off for the gender reveal. Front and center for the reveal was Ma and Pop Basil as well as Ma and Pop Conners. Both sets of grandparents couldn’t wait to find out the gender of the next person to take their hearts.
In the middle of the street were Zeus and AJ on their bikes. As the presidents of their respective clubs, they would be the one to do the actual reveal. Both felt honored to be asked.
Hera stepped out into the street after everyone was in place and out of the building.
She lifted her bull horn to speak. “Alright, everyone! First, thank you all for coming out to celebrate my sister and brother-in-love. I don’t know what it is, but love and babies continue to unite Mt. Os and KOKs.”
The crowd laughed. The truth was the truth.
More than ever before, the intermingling of the two clubs’ members romantically was now seen as normal business.
Jade had the eyes of a KOK rider who was not shy about his pursuit of her.
Dorian didn’t appreciate it at all and made it known.
Unfortunately for Dorian, the young man didn’t give a damn.
Hera waited until the crowd settled before she continued. “How this will work is, we will all count down from five. When we hit one, Zeus and AJ will burn out. The color of the smoke will tell us whether we are gonna have a Mt. O girlie or a —”
“A Mt. O boy!” Hades abruptly yelled out. “Ain’t gonna be no KOK boys around here.”
The crowd erupted with laughter. The members of the two clubs joked with each other about Hades’s words. Little did they know, he was dead ass serious.
Hera got her laughter together before she got everyone’s attention. “Alright, let’s get this done so Mommy can go back inside and sit her pretty, high heels wearing ass down. Zeus and AJ, are y’all ready?”
“We’re ready. Count this shit down!” Zeus said.
After AJ confirmed he was ready, the counting started. “Five! Four! Three! Two! One!”
AJ and Zeus allowed their bikes to burn rubber while they stayed in place. Blue smoke filled the air to everyone’s excitement. The crowd went wild.
Bread’s eyes widened before he scooped his wife into his arms. “I love you so fucking much! We’re having a boy!”
Hestia’s makeup was ruined from the tears that streamed down her face. “I’m going to be a boy mom. Oh my God!”
Everything came together just as it was supposed to for this Mt.
O Goddess and KOK guy. Bread prepared himself so that when the time came, he would be ready to find the woman that was meant for him.
Hestia did what she had always done best, unknowingly, to even herself.
She stayed find worthy. When her husband came along to find her, she was poised and ready to be found.
Neither of them played the game of hide-and-seek.
When Bread sought Hestia out, she didn’t hide.
She stood in the middle of a wide-open field of love, ready to be pollinated.
Bread and Hestia’s son would be the beautiful bloom to show the results of what happened when a woman who was worthy to be found was found by the right man.
