“Wouldn’t do them any good. This is bulletproof. All the club-owned ones are. We started doing that after Dublin Falls did. Now, when the guys come to get us, you stay in the middle of us. We’ll walk you in the door and have you covered.”
I didn’t like the thought of him or any of his brothers making themselves targets to protect me, but I knew he wouldn’t listen. I swallowed my argument. I waited for the guys to tell us it was safe to get out. In less than five minutes, they were back. Rebel got my door and helped me out. Just as he said, they surrounded me on all sides. He held my hand and tucked me close to his chest. With all of them being so much taller than me, no one could see me.
Inside, the waiting room was packed. All the women stared as we came through the door. They were checking out the men, including Rebel, like they wanted to eat them alive. I couldn’t blame them. They were a sexy-as-hell sight. Rebel took me to the front desk to get me checked in and the paperwork they’d told him I’d need to fill out. The receptionist made eyes at him while she ignored me. He frowned.
“You need to pay attention to my woman rather than trying to flirt with me. I can tell you. You’re wasting your time. I have this gorgeous woman. I have no intention of messing around on her.” Her face got red. I was shocked he’d called her on it. The guys all chuckled. She hurried to get done checking us in and gave me my paperwork. She didn’t look at him again.
We took a seat. “Rebel, you didn’t need to call her out. You embarrassed her,” I chided him. He shrugged.
“She needs to learn not to eye fuck someone else’s man. I’m taken.”
I rolled my eyes and started in on the paperwork. By the time I’d filled it out, I only waited a few minutes before I was called back. The other guys all went to follow us.
“They’re not going in with us, Rebel!” No way were they all seeing my damn vagina.
“No, but they’ll be out in the hall and by the back door. They’re making sure no one comes in while we’re in there. Relax, babe. Let me protect you.” The concern and love in his eyes made me give in. True to his word, they stayed in the hall. In the room, the nurse took blood and had me get into a paper gown. Not long after, Dr. Foreman came in. He introduced himself and smiled. I found he instantly put me at ease. He didn’t blink an eye at Rebel’s cut or say anything about the guys in the hall.
“So, Madisen, I understand you’ve had a positive urine pregnancy test. Your blood test should be done momentarily to confirm it, but why don’t I examine you and we talk while we wait.”
From there, he asked about when my last menstrual period was, about contraception, symptoms and then he did the pelvic exam. Rebel wasn’t thrilled to have another man’s hands anywhere near my pussy. He was gritting his teeth. Dr. Foreman snapped off his gloves.
“Well, Rebel, I know you don’t want any man near your woman. Would it help to tell you I’m happily married for the last fifteen years and have four children of my own? I don’t like men around my wife’s privates either. I’d never be inappropriate with a patient and I also know if I did, you and the rest of the Warriors would kill me,” he said with a chuckle. I saw Rebel’s shoulders relax.
“No offense, doc, just wired that way.”
“No offense taken. Let’s check to see if the test results are back yet.” He stepped out of the room. I shook my head at Rebel.
“What?”
“Neanderthal. Really, could you be any more of a caveman?”
“Oh, I can get worse, baby. That’s my pussy. I don’t want anyone near it but me. I’ll show you how much it’s mine when we get back to the compound.” His words instantly made me wet. I always wanted him, but now I felt almost crazed for him. I must have been letting my feelings show on my face because he bent down and bit my ear.
“You keep looking at me like that, and the doc will come back to find you bent over this table and me fucking that tight pussy from behind. I want to fuck you hard and deep, baby. Hang on.”
I felt my pussy clench. I was glad Dr. Foreman was already done with his exam. My thoughts were interrupted by him coming in the door.
“Well, it’s confirmed. You are pregnant. Since you know when your last period was and when you became sexually active, I’d say you’re at least four weeks along. A tech is on her way to do an ultrasound so we can confirm it. Any questions?”
“Yeah, doc, what kind of restrictions does she have for physical activity?” Rebel asked. I knew he was asking about sex. I flushed pink. He just smirked. Doctor Foreman chuckled.
“There are no restrictions as long as she feels okay, and it doesn’t hurt. As she gets close to the end, that may change. Sex is fine. She’ll be more sensitive so it may change how you go about it. She needs to get lots of rest. Walking every day is good. Drink plenty of water and eat nutritiously. I understand Doctor Weeks diagnosed you first. I’m sure he covered a lot of this with you. You’ll get some handouts before you leave. He already wrote you a script for the prenatal vitamins. Take them every day. If you’re having morning sickness, take them in the evening. If it gets too bad, call me. My number is on your handouts.”
There was a knock at the door. Rebel opened it to a young woman, pushing a large machine. Joker was practically on her ass. She was throwing him a nervous look. Rebel told him she was fine. Once she got in there, she explained what she was going to do. Doctor Foreman chatted with Rebel. Rebel gave me a wide-eyed look when he saw the internal ultrasound. I wasn’t happy about it either.
Looking at the screen, all I saw was a bunch of gray fuzziness. She showed us a c-shaped blob the size of a sweet pea with tiny bud-looking things. We could hear what sounded like a possible heartbeat. Dr. Foreman explained as the tech took measurements that pregnancies were calculated based on forty weeks and the start is the first day of your last period. So based on my last period, I was at what they considered six weeks. The size of the embryo and the fact we could hear a heartbeat supported that. He estimated my due date would be around March twenty-seventh. Rebel stared at the screen in awe. The tech finished off and then printed us off a few pictures. As she helped me get cleaned up, Dr. Foreman told us he’d see us next month and congratulated us again. After they left, I looked at Rebel.
He held the ultrasound pictures, looking deep in thought. “Ronan, are you okay? Have you changed your mind?” I asked him hesitantly. What if he didn’t want to have a baby after all? I hated to think I would be doing this alone. His head jerked up and he crowded the table.
“I haven’t changed my mind about a damn thing! I just can’t believe we created this together. We’re having a baby, Madisen. I can’t wait to find out what we’re having. You know what this means, don’t you? I must have gotten you pregnant the first night we were together. God, I love you, Firecracker.” He kissed me. The kiss was deep, and all-consuming. I got lost in him. We didn’t break apart until there was a knock on the door. Joker called out, asking if we were okay. Then he asked if we were doing something we shouldn’t, the ass. Wait until I got out of here. Rebel helped me get my clothes on. When we exited the room, I punched Joker in the gut. He grunted.
“Jackass! You wait. Paybacks are such a bitch,” I told him. He smirked and rubbed his stomach like it hurt. He was hard as a rock just like Rebel was.
The guys surrounded me as I made my next appointment and as we exited to the car. The drive back was quiet. We were both caught up in our thoughts. I was still stunned we were having a baby. I mean, I knew it was a possibility when we didn’t use anything to prevent it. I guess I thought it would take longer for it to happen, if it happened at all. I recalled my mom had tried to have me for years before she finally got pregnant. I assumed I’d be the same. I was shaken from my thoughts by the SUV coming to a stop and Rebel taking my hand.
“Are you okay, babe? Are you having second thoughts about having a baby?” I heard the worry and pain in his voice. I threw off my seatbelt and slid over to him. I ran my hand up his beard-roughened face.
“I don’t regret this baby at all, Ronan. I’m just surprised it happened so fast. My mom took years to conceive me. I guess I always assumed I’d be the same.” He took my mouth. His kiss set my blood on fire. He pulled away making me whimper, but all he did was open the door and pick me up out of the car. He carried me into the clubhouse and down the hall to our room. The guys were catcalling as we passed. We ignored them.
