Chapter Ten Lash
Walking into our house with Dash and Dallas felt like the biggest blessing in the world.
I cannot explain how thankful I am that they were still at that house when we arrived.
That those bastards had not done any physical harm to them, I know that they are going to have trauma.
I am thankful Sophie had already scheduled them appointments, showing that she had a lot of faith that we were going to get our babies back.
I am also grateful that it seems that all the stress that Sophie has been under hasn’t done anything to her or the babies.
I am hoping that with us taking the rest of her pregnancy off work and the couple months after will help her more and will help all of us more.
Devin helped bring the kids home, I have a feeling that he is going to be sticking close to us too, he does have what some would call an in-law suite in the little house we have behind our house.
I have built add ons to this house and I know that we are probably going to be in need of another one.
We have a little bit of land because I requested a nice amount from the club so that we could build on to a house if we needed to.
It seems that my dreams of that big family are coming true.
She might not like the whole twin pregnancy, but that just gives me that many more babies in one go.
My boys did me good this time around. Maybe next time we can shoot higher.
I know that Sophie and I have a lot of work to do and I am very grateful that she is going to start therapy to work through everything that is going on.
As we walk through the door you can barely hear anything, but the many voices that are coming from the living room.
From the sounds of it I know the entire family is in our home.
As the door clicks shut it gets quiet and I hear a bunch of little feet running towards the front door.
We look up and see all of our other kids running towards the door to greet their siblings.
It is really a sight that has all of us in tears.
Delaney is gripping Dash’s shirt while she has Dallas in a great big hug.
Dare has Dash in a big hug, Daisy is hugging all of them on one side and Declan is on the other side encompassing all his younger siblings, like the big protector that he is.
I hear more footsteps and look up and the rest of the family is standing in the front hallway of the house looking at the scene in front of them with tears in their eyes.
I walk over and kneel down and encompass all of my babies to the best of my ability in my arms and bury my face into Declan’s neck.
We sit like this for I don’t know how long and I know that if Sophie wasn’t pregnant, she would be down here with us.
We stay like this for what feels like forever, but doesn’t feel long enough.
I don’t think I will ever let any of these kids out of my sight again.
This is my whole world right here in my arms and standing next to me.
Sophie at some point reached down and put her hand on my shoulder.
Eventually we all pull away and the twins are passed around from family member to family member, we have a full house and I guess it is a great thing that one we have such a big home and two that we have plenty of room outside.
I have a feeling that my brothers and our families won’t be going anywhere anytime soon.
Cannon comes over and pulls me in for a hug and we just sit in it for a while.
“I’m so glad they are safe, brother. I am glad we got them back for you and for Soph. I know that ya’ll can work through all this.”
He patted my back and went to Sophie and gave her a hug and a kiss.
We make it through all the brothers and all the families and everyone is just here hanging out for a while.
My mom told us that she will work with them on their school work in a couple of weeks and that she will contact their teachers and explain to them that with all the family stuff going on she will have them have their work turned in once things settle down.
I know that what we are doing with their schooling is something not heard of, but we just haven’t really felt safe sending them to schools when two of them were taken from one.
They still have their hockey and dance, all their extra activities to keep them around their friends from outside of the club.
I don’t want their lives to be too upended.
But usually with the other activities some of the brothers are usually around to take them.
Hopefully now that we have the kids back, everything will be back to our safe, boring routine. No more surprises. I can’t handle any more surprises and honestly, I do not want my babies to have to deal with any more stress in their lives right now.
The next day we had church so I left Sophie, the kids and Bulldog and headed to the clubhouse.
I was grateful and correct that Bulldog planned on staying in the guest house we have built on our piece of the property.
Tillie and Davis are also staying there so they are going to be helping out and hanging out with our kids as much as they can as well.
Which will be nice for Sophie to have some more interaction with her youngest siblings.
They haven’t really spent much time together since everything happened with their mama.
It is so sad that everyone was pushed away because of everything that happened with the club.
I get to the room we hold church in and head to my seat at the table. Our insignia is carved at the center of the table and I am seated next to the head of the table being Vice President. I am surprised that Terror is here before anyone else and looks lost in thought.
“What’s up, brother?” I asked.
He looks up at me and gives me a sad smile, “Nothing we have to talk about now, let’s wait for the rest of the assholes to get here and we can get the bad shit out of the way.”
All the guys walk in and take their seats at the table and Terror hits the gavel on the table.
“First we are going to start with Acid MC. So we raided several of their safe houses that our contacts and Wiz found. We brought some of the club members back here to interrogate, the others were taken out at scenes and the houses were taken care of with explosives.
Unfortunately we didn’t get Acid himself and according to one of the men that we were graciously hosting said that the men that were on their council were hidden somewhere and not the safe houses or warehouses we attacked with the help of our brothers from other chapters and our brothers from the
Untamed. He stated that the Russians they are working with are very invested on making sure that Acid and his higher ups make it through anything so that they can take the club over.
They think that by giving Acid our club he will get rid of the Moretti’s that are here and take over their territory as well as getting a different foothold for their human trafficking ring.”
I was shocked, “You mean to tell me that is not it? These bastards are still around? They are still a threat to my family? Did you get any answers about where they are?”
“Calm down Lash. We are looking into it. Wiz is digging and our contacts with the fed are digging. We will make sure everything will be okay. We are going to stick with extra protection with families when they leave the compound.”
I don’t feel better, in fact I am terrified. I just got two of my babies back. Sophie is going to have a shit fit that this is not over.
“Look how long this took just to find my kids, Terror! Even with our resources and Wizard looking into everything, it took us months to find my kids. It took us months to find all those warehouses and safehouses and even then we were tipped off. Do we even know who tipped us off?
Obviously someone has more resources than we do? Have we thought about maybe talking to the Sirens? Why the fuck did we not know this guy was going to not be at the safehouses and how the hell did he know not to be at any of those places? We need to find who the fucking rat is, Terror!
There has to be more of these fuckers around here, someone had to keep them up to date on our moves. We didn’t even tell anyone outside of the brothers we were moving, so unless someone noticed something off about the people that showed up here and told them or maybe a brother let something slip.
We need to figure this shit out. I can’t lose any more of my family. Sophie is going to be livid when she finds this shit out Terror.”
“Then maybe don’t fucking tell her, Lash. She doesn’t need to know everything.”
“Excuse me pres, but we just voted to keep the ol’ ladies informed. We voted to have them more involved in things, but not so involved like the Rebels. I am not going to not keep my ol’ lady up to date when I have come so close to fucking losing her. You shouldn’t be asking me that,
if that was something the table voted on.You know this, she has cut you off too! She can barely be in the same room as the brothers that she has always been close to!
So you think the solution is to just not tell her what is going on and maybe just maybe she won’t find out and be like hey lets all spend time together and go back to normal.”
Terror looked at me like he was shocked that I was actually going to stick with this about the women being kept up to date on some of our club business.
“You’re right we did take that to a vote at the table, but I didn’t think you’d want to stress her out right now, given her current situation.”
“Us keeping shit from her is going to stress her out! Do I have to remind you of the last four months! I just finally got myself back into my fucking home by demanding that we are not going to behave this way anymore.
I think right now if you don’t want to keep her up to date on things and if you don’t want me to keep her up to date on things, until this situation is calmed down, I’m going to have to take a step back. You can take a vote on it if you want, but if you’re going to be like this,
I need to work things out with my girl. My family is the most important thing to me and I just got two of my kids back. My life has been in shambles and I know you guys have been grieving your mother, Sophie has not had a chance to grieve or breathe because our kids have been missing.
I would never just say ‘hey we talked about giving full transparency, but you know I don’t really want to stress you out, so fuck it.’ So like I said if this is what it is going to be like, I am going to need to take a beat.
I will probably give my vote to another brother until we work through some of this stuff. I need to make sure that my ol’ lady knows that she is taken care of and that she is cared for by the club.”
All the brothers start getting loud and talking over each other and Terror starts banging on the gavel.
“We do not want you to do that. We will stick with what we voted on and make sure that she is up to date on what is going on. You can fill her in on whatever you choose like we voted for last time.”
After we go through everything that we need to around the table, Terror bangs the gavel and dismisses church. The brothers get up and walk out and that leaves me with Terror. He looks over at me and grabs my shoulder.
“I appreciate what you are doing for your family Lash, but I need you to understand that the brothers and I are here for you and we are doing everything we can to keep your family safe. That all these men have your families back because you are all a part of the club. We love you, brother,
and we have your back. Also you have to remember, that’s my sister, my nieces and nephews, so even if you weren’t Chaos, I would still have their back. I love them with everything that I am. I’m not going to let anything happen to them. Dad made mistakes by not taking this more seriously.
I am not my dad. I’m not saying my dad is a bad guy, but he kept secrets from all of us. I am not going to do that. I don’t want anything to happen to anyone ever again. I don’t want a repeat of my mother. If you think that telling Sophie this will make it okay and she won’t stress herself out,
go for it. I am all for keeping our women informed. Also I am talking with Wizard about getting necklaces, bracelets and things with trackers on them for all the family members that have to be removed with a key so we know where our families are at all times.
So hopefully that will give you some piece of mind.”
With that he gets up and walks out of the room. I followed shortly after.
As I begin walking out in the common room to head out and back to my home, one of the whores that has been bugging me and Sophie for months steps in my way.
“Hey baby. You want to head up to your room and maybe have some fun? I can relieve some tension for you. I know that bitch of a wife of yours isn’t putting out, plus have you seen how fucking fat she is, gross.
I’m sure with all those little brats she’s pushed out her pussy is all torn up down there.”
I see red the moment she says anything about Sophia, but then she has to bring my kids into this and I’m about ready to strangle this bitch. But I don’t hurt women. I take a deep breath and look at this bitch in front of me.
“First off, whore,” She flinches and I continue, “you ever speak about an ol’ lady like that again your ass will be so far out of this clubhouse you won’t know where to go. We have lots of friends and I don’t think any of them would take a disrespectful skank like you anywhere. That’s my wife,
the pres’s sister, you fucking bitch. The love of my fucking life and for your information, her pussy is tight as ever. Doesn’t matter how many of my kids she pushes out. She is beautiful, she’s carrying twins, you stupid bitch.
I would never stick my dick in your loose as fuck disease ridden hole if you were the last bitch on the planet. You get me? I’m sick of you coming into my space, disrespecting my wife, disrespecting my children.
I am sick of all you bitches thinking because you whore yourself out for some of the brothers, all of us want to give you a try. I am sick and tired of you rancid ass whores going up to my ol’ lady when you see her spreading lies. I have the most beautiful woman in the world in my bed,
why the fuck would I look twice at some nasty ass skank who thinks that they need to cake on make up and dress like a fucking slut to get any attention. You are nasty, I do not want anything to do with you. Get the fucking picture.
Keep it up you fucking whore and I’ll make sure you don’t have a place to live. Now get the fuck out of my face.”
I practically yell at her as she begins to turn around with tears running down her face.
Normally I’m a nice guy, normally I respectfully tell these bitches I’m taken.
I won’t step out on my wife, that's not me.
These past few months there have been a few of these girls that think that they can push me and I’ve had enough.
With that I nod at my brothers and head out to my bike so I can drive down the property to our home.
