Chapter Eleven Lash
I walk into our home and I hear the kids in the play room we have for them and I hear noise in the kitchen.
So I head to the kitchen to see if Sophie is there.
I walk in and sure enough my beautiful wife is in there making some sort of weird concoction of macaroni and cheese with cubed pickles, while she has a glass of chocolate milk sitting next to it.
“I think I’ll make dinner for everybody else, what in the heck are you making?”
She looks up at me and gives me a soft smile that doesn’t meet her eyes.
“There is a lasagna in the oven for you and the kids. I think dad planned on feeding himself, Davis and Tillie in the in-law house. I’m enjoying my newest craving, so don’t worry about it. You guys will have dinner ready in about a half an hour. The kids are downstairs playing in the playroom.”
I nod my head and walk over to the counter to stand in front of her.
“So I think we should continue with them at home schooling you and mama are doing with the kids.Keep them home so that we don’t have to stress or worry about everything that could happen.They can still keep up with all their extra activities, we will make sure that someone is always with them.
Maybe a bit extra too just because I don’t want to worry about someone doing something to the kids or the brothers that are with them.”
With that she stops stirring her nasty ass dinner and looks up at me. “What do you mean? What is going on? I thought everything was good now?”
I sigh and rub my hand down my face, “So all the higher ups with Acid’s MC were not at any of the safe houses or warehouses. So they are still out there, Acid is still out there. I’m so sorry, baby. I have failed to protect you and our kids.
We also don’t know who else is working with them inside the club.”
She looks at me and then looks down, “This isn’t your fault, I really thank you for telling me. I will send out a message to Deck, Daisy and Dare’s teachers that they will be out of school the rest of the year and continue with homeschooling. It shouldn’t be a problem.
I will ask them to send the rest of the work for the year to me so they can get it done and I can send it back. I’m sure that it won’t be a lot. I mean, they don’t tend to give them a lot of shit to do in the last month of the year,
but I know that Declan now being in 4th grade it might be different for him. But I can see. I really appreciate the openness to which you have told me what is going on in the club.”
“I told you Soph, that we are now keeping the ol’ ladies semi informed with things, that unless it is something horribly dangerous, you’d know what was going on. I plan to make sure you know that if there is something going on that could endanger the kids or you, you’d know.
I want our lives to be more open and I want everything to be stronger than it was before. I love you and I have loved you so much my entire life. You are my everything, baby.”
“So who do you think warned the men that you guys were moving in on them? I can’t imagine that it was just luck that all of their council members were not anywhere to be found.”
“We don’t know, but we know we have some traitors. There has to be more than one. Everything that has happened has been too perfect. I’m sure there are some all over the clubs and businesses. I know Wiz is now doing deeper dives into everyone.
It’s just hard and takes a while because we have so many employees, club members, club girls and everything. Maybe we will get lucky and have our new friend give us an anonymous tip to help us find them. Since all our leads seem to just dry up like someone is preventing us from finding what we need.
”
“I will say it again, that bitch receptionist of yours is in on it. That lady that was working at the daycare, she was definitely one. I’m sure at least one of the club girls that won’t lay off you has to be one too. Normally they do like to go for the men that are in higher positions,
but everyone knows that the men of this club don’t cheat. All the sudden you get these new girls in and they think they are going to sway you their way. I mean they have also been harassing me inside the clubhouse and outside of the clubhouse.
Not that I have been inside the clubhouse since the night that Dallas and Dash were taken. Also, what do you mean about a ‘new friend’?”
“You don’t have to go to the clubhouse until you are ready, baby. I’m not going anywhere like we said. I plan on sleeping here, plus now I’ve got a room to get ready for two babies. I can’t believe we are going to have another set of twins. I hope they are not the last multiples we have.
They are so much fun. The new friend I am talking about helped us find the twins.”
She looks very much in thought after I mention that and nods her head with a slight smirk, like she might know something we don’t know. Then she opens her mouth to speak and I can’t help but chuckle.
“You are very confident that you are going to knock me up again. Who says that I will let you in my pants again after these boys make an appearance? Or maybe I will be making sure you take care of that ability to have more babies. Multiples are fun? You are crazy,
the pregnancy is worse and then all the extra babies at once.”
“Oh my sweet sweet Sophie, you will. You know you were made for me, baby. I was made for you. I can’t live without that sweetness between your legs and I know that you have a very hard time without my cock. I know we have things to work through, but you’re mine. No matter what.
I know that you are still struggling to forgive me for not being there to pick the kids up, I am struggling to forgive myself for what happened to mama and what happened to the kids. We just have to try and move forward. The therapist will help us and the kids.
I know that Dash and Dallas enjoyed their first visits. We just need to find our way back to us and you just need to find a way to trust all of us again. We’ve let you down, we’ve hidden things from you and for that I am so sorry. But like I told you before we went and rescued those two angels,
I am not leaving this house again. Being away from you and the kids was hard and it was horrible. I can’t breathe without you. You know you love having more than one baby at a time too, it knocks out one more pregnancy that you have to deal with.”
I walk around the counter so I am standing behind her and wrap my arms around her waist, putting my hands over her bump and rubbing.
“I will do whatever it takes to be your safe place again. I will do whatever I can to get you to let me in completely again. You are my best friend, the love of my life, the other half of my soul, the sun in my solar system. We need you baby. The kids and myself,
I know with everything going on and you being pregnant, it hasn’t been easy. I am going to support you through everything. I love you with everything that I am.”
With that I kiss her temple and head out of the kitchen to go take a shower before dinner.
After my shower, I put on my sweatpants and headed down to the kitchen to find the kids and Sophie sitting at the table and per usual it is our total brand of chaos.
I see the kids have a plate full of lasagna and my beautiful wife is eating this nasty concoction of macaroni and cheese with pickles and from the looks of it hot sauce.
I walk over and place a kiss on the top of her head and look at her meal and grimace.
Then I walk over to the counter and grab a plate, fill it with lasagna and join my family where I sit at the opposite end of the table, next to me are my girls, Daisy on one side and Dallas on the other.
Declan always made sure to sit next to Sophie, so he was on one side.
Delaney sat on her other side, Dare and Dash were in the middle. Dash was always sitting next to Dallas.
“Mama, what the heck are you eating?” Declan said and I chuckled when I looked up from my plate and you could see the utter disgust on his face.
Sophie looked over at him and shrugged her shoulders, “Macaroni and cheese, Deck.” All the kids look up and stare at what is on their mother’s plate and a chorus of ewwwwwws come around the table.
“Mama, that is not mac ‘n cheese. Why in the heck would you eat that?” comes from Daisy next to me.
“Yeah mama, dat nasty. I wik mac cheese, dat no mac cheese.” Says Delaney from next to Sophie.
“Hey, leave my dinner alone, this is what the babies want.”
All the kids stopped eating, but the twins looked from me to Sophie. I forgot we had not mentioned to the kids with everything that was going on that we were having another set of twins and that this time they are two little boys.
“BABIES?!?!?” Declan, Daisy and Dare yelled together at once.
Delaney just looked confused and shook her head at everyone, “Duh, mama hab baby in her tummy.”
I look up at Sophie and she is looking at me with a smile on her face and she nods her head as if to tell me I can go ahead and tell them what is going on, I guess that is my queue to let her continue to eat her nasty meal.
“Yeah guys, we are sorry with everything that has gone on the last couple of days. We forgot to tell you that mom is having twins. We did find out when had an ultrasound done before Dallas and Dash were going to be released from the hospital.”
“Yeah, we seen the babies on the tv. I sad cause they are brudders and not sissies.”
“Heck yeah! More boys! Okay, I was worried we were going to have more girls in this house and I think that the three we have are more than enough. I mean if we could make it so we don’t have any more girls, that would be great. They take way too long in the bathroom in the morning,
if Daisy is anything to go by. She’s eight and she acts like she has to impress people. Plus I don’t want to have to worry about any more girls and guys getting the wrong idea. I mean, dad, there is this boy at school that talks about how cute Daisy is all the time.
I have to threaten him to keep him away from her.” Declan states.
I knew the boys would be thrilled, I mean to be fair we have a lot of testosterone in this house. I’m sure when they all hit puberty we are going to be in for one hell of a ride.
“Daisy isn’t allowed to date til she’s thirty. So good lookin’ out Deck.”
I say and Sophie just snorts from across the table.
I have no room to talk whatsoever when it comes to any relationships my kids have, they are too young to realize it now, but Sophie and I are very young to already have six kids and two more on the way.
At 27, we’ve definitely got a big head start of most people our age.
Getting pregnant with Declan at 17 was not planned, but thankfully we both have two families that are very understanding and helped us through that first year.
I’ve always known Sophie was it for me and I haven’t looked back since.
My love for her is intense and infinite.
“Daddy, I can date whenever I want. As long as I keep it strictly hand holding. We don’t have to do the kissing part until we are like 11.”
I think I am going to have a heart attack, did my baby just tell me that in three years she is going to start kissing boys?
At this point Sophie is silently laughing so hard that her shoulders are shaking as she continues to eat her nasty as fuck mac ‘n cheese.
Giving me no support whatsoever with this conversation.
“Little Bloom, you better not be kissing any boys in three years do you hear me? You only kiss somebody when you’re married. That’s why mama and I do it.”
She gives me a look that I swear says I’m dumb. She is too young for that fucking look.
“Daddy, if that were true then I wouldn’t see Uncle Cane and Uncle Cannon kissing people all the time. Or even any of the uncles at the clubhouse. I know they aren’t married to those ladies that walk around there.”
At this point in time I think I am going to murder some of my brother-in-laws.
Not to mention any of my brothers at the club.
How in the hell are kids so observant. Maybe I can keep them away from the clubhouse forever and she will never figure out what those women are for.
Then she will never realize you don’t have to be married to do all the things with boys.
“Well Daisy, they are all naughty and probably going to get all sorts of icky germs from those people. You don’t want to get icky germs do you? Cooties are no joke, little bloom. So do daddy a favor and never kiss a boy until you are married or ever. Otherwise,
we will have to send Declan after them, maybe even Dare.”
“Fine.” she huffs at me and continues to eat.
After that conversation I’m going to need a beer. My kids are too young for this shit. I don’t want to hear any talk of girlfriends or boyfriends anytime in the near future.
