Chapter Four Dragon
I’m pissed, so fucking pissed. She is being so fucking stubborn.
I know I fucked up, but to not let me stay with her when she’s obviously in fucking pain.
Whether it’s contractions or a false fucking alarm, she needs someone here and they someone should be fucking me.
I couldn’t take anymore of her bullshit, so I headed upstairs.
I want to check and make sure she has everything built and ready to go for our boy.
I walk past the boys room and stop for a moment, I will find my way back there after I make sure everything is good.
Heading down the hall I see her room is open and I stop looking inside.
Memories of our time together hit me hard and hit me fast as all that I threw away while trying to protect the woman I loved.
Here where I was just Cane and not Dragon, where I was a man and not a brother with the MC.
Where I shared myself fully with this woman you came into my life so suddenly and then stayed there.
She became a part of me, my heart and soul.
“Stop!” Liza giggles as I tickle her.
I roll myself on top of her, pinning both her wrists in one hand above her head. I smirk down at her.
“Make me.”
With that I lean down and place a kiss on her lips, it starts tenderly, but turns heated quickly.
I’d never tell Cannon this because one he’d be pissed and two because he’d never let me live it down, but this woman has become my best friend.
I love being around her, she brings out a side of me that I didn’t even know I had.
I slowly begin to pull up the shirt that she is wearing and bring my head to the side of her head and she begins to moan and her back arches as my hand reaches her nipples.
“MAAAAAAAMMMMMA, we are hungry.”
Liza groans and I chuckle, “The boys want their breakfast baby.”
I press my lips to hers one more time before getting off of her. I slowly get up out of bed and head over to grab my sweatpants.
“I’ll feed them baby, you go take a shower.”
“Cane?”
I snap out of the memory and turn to see my brother standing next to me.
“Brother, we should go. She doesn’t want us here.”
I shake my head, “I’m not leaving her by herself. Peyton is a half an hour away. She’ll never get here in time if something is happening right now.”
“I texted Bella. She’s heading this way to sit with her. Did you check out to make sure she’s got a nursery set up?”
“I um,” I clear my throat, “I didn’t make it that far.”
“So how about we stop standing outside her bedroom, check out the room across the hall, make sure everything is set up and that she’s got her bags by the door and head out. At least give you that piece of mind.”
I nod my head, “Yeah, okay.”
He slaps me on the back, “It’s gonna be okay, brother. You’re gonna get your family back.”
I nod my head and we turn to check and make sure everything is ready in the nursery and as I predicted it is.
She has a crib out together, a changing table, a glider in the corner, a dresser with a sonogram photo on it and I immediately turn my head that way to look at a picture of our baby.
As I’m looking around I immediately spot two bags in the corner and head over to grab them.
We get downstairs and I see that Liza is still sitting on the couch doing different breathing. I drop the bags by the door and hear a car door open outside, but I ignore it and walk back towards the couch.
“Baby—“
Before I get the words out she puts her hand up, “Don’t call me that! Just stop okay? We aren’t like that anymore, we are just co-parenting. Like I said I’ll let you know when I have him.”
“Liza, can’t we talk about this? I want to be there for you, like right now. Are you in labor? Do you need to go to the hospital?”
“What I need is for you to leave. We can discuss everything after, okay. Bella is here, I just want you to leave. Take your brother and leave.”
“Liza, you should go to the hospital, please let me take you. Bella can stay with the boys! You’re being stubborn and ridiculous. You’re obviously in pain and in labor.”
“It’s just the beginning it’s fucking fine! Stop yelling the boys are fucking sleeping. If my water breaks Peyton I’ll be here to take me to the hospital and then Bella can stay with the boys. Now go!”
I stand up and can’t even deal with how she is acting right now. I head out of the house and towards my bike, I wait a couple of minutes before Cannon follows.
“Bella said she would let us know when and if she goes into labor while she’s here. It sounds like she’s in early stages of labor. What do you want to do?”
“What I want to do is go to the ring and beat the shit out of someone, but I can’t do that because it is possible that Liza could be going into labor. I might need to be at the hospital, even though I’m not wanted there and she told me she would tell me after the baby is born.”
I look at my brother who is looking at me with concern in his eyes.
“I know that I did some fucked up shit and I hurt her, but how the fuck can I fix this? It’s not all about what I did, I am also working against all the pain she suffered before she came here because that is weighing into what she is feeling. This whole situation is fucked.”
“Well, at least you know Isabella is with her and Peyton will be with her soon. Let’s also be honest and know that the entire Stone-Miller family will be headed this way with her. She doesn’t go anywhere without at least one of them with her. Plus all three babies.”
He’s right about that Whip and Fang are definitely very protective of Peyton. She has prospects and brothers with her all the time. I’m sure the med school she is going to is really appreciative of a bunch of bikers wandering around campus at all hours with her.
I sigh, “Doesn’t Peyton have school?”
“Yeah she does, but you know that she will probably try and do shit from home knowing that her nephew needs her.”
As we are talking a car pulls up and it is definitely not Peyton’s.
It is a blue jeep and when the door opens a petite woman with an hourglass figure with a head full of long dark auburn hair, Rose.
As she rounds the jeep she is wearing a form fitted top that you can see her barely there baby bump.
She tries to ignore Cannon and I, but I walk away from my bike.
“Rose, hey. What’s going on? She told us she called Peyton.”
Rose gives me a look that would probably scare a normal person, but I don’t give a fuck right now. She keeps trying to go around me, but I can bug the fuck out of anyone if I want to. It was my speciality with all the older siblings I have.
“Listen, she did call Peyton. But it’s late, she didn’t want to wake the triplets. So we decided to come here. Which I was planning to do when she sent out the SOS anyway. You can go, we don’t need any fucking Devil’s Assholes around here.”
She goes to move around me again and I step in her way, “Listen, I know you’ve got your own shit going on right now, but I want to know what is going on with my woman. I want to be there when my baby is born. So please, don’t take the fucking shit out on me that you are dealing with with Rage.
That’s not on me.”
She looks at me and sighs, “You’re right it isn’t on you, but I’m not going to go against what Liza wants to help you.”
She looks back at the house and then looks back at me, “She’s having contractions, her doctor told her to wait it out until she is five minutes apart or her water breaks. I’m here because if she does need to go to the hospital I’m driving her. Now that Isabella is here,
she can sit with the kids until the guy that Liza called can come sit with them gets here.”
“What guy?”
“I don’t know, she said he’s family.”
I nod my head, “Please text me with updates. You still have my number?”
We used to hang out with Rage and Rose a lot when we were all together.
“Yeah, I will. But I don’t want you to tell her it was me, okay? I’ve got enough problems, I don’t want to have Liza on my ass too. She’s fucking scary when she’s angry.”
“Thank you Rose, thank you so much.”
I let her walk inside and I turned and went back to my bike.
“Let’s get out of here. She’s gonna text me updates.”
“Bella is gonna send me updates too, so we will get them from both of them in case someone forgets or something. I think it is a good idea that you are heading out and giving her some space. She needs to not have to deal with everything when she’s about to be so vulnerable.”
I nod my head and we head back to the clubhouse.
I just hope that maybe she will change her mind when the time comes for her to head to the hospital.
That she will change her mind and let me be in that room with her when the time comes.
I hate that I am going to miss out on something so beautiful and pure because I made the woman I love feel like she was not good enough for me.
Letting my fears take over and destroying the one thing that means everything to me, may just cost me all my dreams.
Getting back to the compound I head to my house instead of the clubhouse.
I need to keep my mind off everything and I think the only way to do that is to work on some of the new designs I have coming in for customers.
My mind is in a million different places and I don’t think I should’ve left Liza’s.
I feel like I should’ve stayed even though she wanted me to leave.
I don’t know what family member Rose was talking about when she got there and said that a family member was coming to stay with the boys.
I pull out my phone wanting to see if maybe Wiz can get me some answers.
Me: Hey, can you get in touch with Glitch again and see who would come and stay with the boys when she’s in the hospital? I thought they were all trying to lay low.
The text comes back immediately.
Wizard: Knew you would ask, Glitch got in touch with me and pres . He wanted to give us a heads up that he will be in the area. Said that the club doesn’t know and he prefers it stays that way because it is sensitive.
Me: So Glitch is the one coming here and staying with the boys? Do you know if any of her family has even met them?
Wizard: From what Glitch told me on the phone earlier, no they haven’t met the boys in person.
Glitch has a way of leaving unnoticed. If the VP and his siblings went away for a while that might spark some concern.
So they have done video calls. Just a heads up for you, the sounds of things with what Glitch said, her family hopes that they can wrap this shit up and bring back their princess.
Reading that made my heart skip. Would she want to go back to Nevada? I didn’t get much time to think about that though because I got two back to back messages that popped up on my phone.
Rose: Her water broke and contractions are coming faster. I am bringing her to the hospital. She told me to let you know. I am going to be in the room with her. She asked that you respect her wishes and wait in the waiting room.
Isabella Moretti: Hey, Rose is taking Liza to the hospital, water broke and her contractions are coming faster.
Guess she was further along in labor than she thought.
I’m staying with the boys until her brother gets here.
The boys are still sleeping. Just thought you’d want to know. I already sent a message to Cannon.
Before I knew it I heard a bunch of bikes coming up my drive. I looked outside and there was Rage, Terror, Twister, Hurricane, Thorn, Lash, Whip and Riggs on their bikes. I went outside and they all looked at me, waiting.
“Are we going to go meet my nephew or what? Get your ass on your bike.” Terror hollers over the bikes.
I run to mine and tear out of my driveway with my brothers at my back.
Heading down the road to the hospital. I know after getting Rose’s text I have to wait in the waiting room and I’m not thrilled that I can’t be there for her, but I just have to tell myself that the next time I get her pregnant I will be there for everything.
