Only, he now held a pregnancy test kit and didn’t want to scare her.
She hadn’t complained too much about the sickness and within a couple of hours, she always seemed perfectly happy and content.
Forge came out to lean against the wall. The two of them watching their women. Sable and Beth were hanging out laundry. As always, guards were on the front and back gates. Grass had been captured by some of their nomad clan and delivered right to their door. They’d taken care of him, to make sure he’d never be able to cause them trouble in the future. Hank had been dealt with as well. They’d taken over the brothel Grass had set up, setting all the women free. The only women they put to work were the ones who wanted to be there. Making good money the only way they wanted to. So far, there was a growing number of women and the upkeep of the property was easy, plus, most of the men who frequented the club were rich, entitled assholes, which now made their life easier with all the additional information they had collected.
“Congratulations. Beth told me.”
“We don’t know yet. I’ve got the test. I don’t even know if she knows.”
He chuckled. “Well, what are you waiting for? She’s right there. Go and get her, man.”
Dog cleared his throat. “This life, I know it’s … it has a lot of dangers. Death being high up there. We’ve had to burry a lot of brothers in our time.”
“Don’t, Dog.”
“I need to do this. If anything was to ever happen to me, take care of her. I … I fucked up with her. I nearly lost her so many times, and the thought of her hurting or not having anyone kills me.”
Forge gripped his shoulder. “You’re not going to die. I won’t let it happen because I think it’s going to be so much fucking fun to watch you chasing after that woman and a kid. I hope you get a daughter just so I can watch you try to scare all those little bastards away when she’s of age. You don’t need reassurance from me. Sable is club property. She’ll be protected and loved. You have my word, but not because she’s your old lady. Because she earned that right a long time ago. Now, stop being a pansy ass and go get her.”

Dog took a breath and headed toward Sable.
She was getting used to him just hauling her over his shoulder and taking her to wherever he wanted to go. If she was pregnant, would that continue to harm the baby? He had so many questions and concerns. The first step was confirming if she carried his child.
Rather than taking her caveman style, he was more of a gentleman and grabbed her hand, leading her back up to his room.
Again, her laughter followed behind him.
“It seems I’ve got to go, Beth,” she said, calling toward her friend. “What is it, Dog?”
He closed the door and pressed her up against it. “I love you.”
“And I love you.” She cocked her head, confusion in her eyes.
“I want to spend the rest of my life with you.”
“I know.” She wrapped her arms around his neck. “But we’ve got to talk about how you keep taking me when you want me.”
“You love it so stop your moaning.” He pulled the test out of his pocket and held it up. “I think it’s time we know.”
All color drained from her face. “Oh. Do you … what do you want it to say?”
“I don’t care. I want you pregnant. I want you to belong to me in every way that matters.”
Again, that smile was on her lips. “Okay.”
“But first, I do need you to realize that I’m not going to kick you out. This isn’t some game to me. You’re my old lady, Sable. I’m not going to get bored, nor am I looking for an out.” He stroked her cheek. “I’m in love with you. I want it all. Kids, to come home to you, to fight, to make up, and to know that at the end of each day, you’re going to be waiting for me.” Tears filled her eyes and he groaned. “Don’t cry.”
“They’re happy tears, Dog. You have no idea how many times I’ve wanted you to say that. How I’ve dreamed of you saying something like that. I want forever with you too.”
He glanced down at the test. “Let’s take it. Let’s see what it says.”
“You’re not going to watch me pee,” she said. “That would be gross.”
“I’ll look away.”
They entered his bathroom and he felt her hands shake within his.
