One month later
Pixie rubbed Suzy’s back, and he was trying not to freak out himself. This was the third morning in a row that she had rushed to the toilet. She complained about her breasts feeling a little sore, and she seemed to be off certain foods.
Getting back from their vacation, he’d gotten rid of all of the tampered with condoms, replacing them with new ones. He’d prayed and hoped that nothing would happen. However, holding her red hair back from her face, it was starting to be clear that he’d already royally screwed up.
“Do you think I should call James, tell him?” She leaned back, using some tissue to wipe her mouth. “I’m really confused. Yesterday, I felt fine after some water and toast. God, I hate this.”
“How about you stay home, and rest, okay?”
She wiped the sweat from her brow. “What about James?”
“I’ll go and let him know. I’ll be back, and take care of you.”
“You’d do that?”
“Of course.” He really needed to talk to his brother. He was freaking out, like in a big way right now. He didn’t know what to do or what to say.
She was the love of his life, and with several stupid acts he could risk everything.
“You’re so good to me.”
Kissing her temple, he cursed himself every single name he knew, and then some.
“It’s fine. You know me. I can do this.”
You’re a fucking asshole, loser, and a complete waste of fucking space.
After she brushed her teeth, and she took a shower, he helped her into bed, getting some toast and water for her.
“Here we go, Doctor Pixie to the rescue.”
She smiled, and he rested the tray onto her lap.
Grabbing her cell, the e-reader, and the television remote, he handed them all to her, and promised to be back soon.
“Pixie,” she said, making him turn. “I know we don’t usually talk about our feelings, but I wanted to tell you. I love you.”
“You love me?”
“Don’t freak out okay. It’s nothing something you need to worry about. I won’t come stalking you or anything.”
He moved back to the bed, and cupped her cheek. “Babe, I’ve been in love with you for a long fucking time, and that’s never going to change.”
Pressing a kiss to her lips, Pixie hoped it was going to be enough for her when she found out the truth, even if she had to find out the truth.
Chloe had already left the apartment a few hours before. She worked early for Teri now. Grace took odd hours with baby Joseph. The only reason she worked was because it gave the chance for the club to spoil the little guy.
In the past month a lot had happened. He’d pretty much moved in with Suzy. Richard and Chloe were still doing whatever the hell it was that they were doing. Dane wasn’t voted out. None of them wanted to give him a reason to disappear. Ryan was making it difficult, but Lucy made sure that Ryan spent time with his dad.
Teri said she had a surprise for everyone coming next month, which was weird. Usually Teri’s surprises included food, or some event she wanted to go to. Everyone was curious about her little surprise. Right now, Pixie had a feeling he’d put a surprise into Suzy’s stomach.
“Fuck, fuck, fuck.”
Entering the diner, he saw several of the guys were eating breakfast, but none of them were his brother. “Where’s James?”
“At home.” Damon spoke up.
“The clubhouse?” he asked.
