Dane was sitting at the end of the table and gave him the finger.
In the past couple of days, Leo had noticed that Dane had been quiet. He was moving into the house that Lucy was moving out of.
It had been a rather tense experience, but Leo didn’t mind that.
“Sounds like a good idea to me,” Damon said, speaking up. “Could be fun. Why don’t you and Caleb go, Kitty Cat? Maybe you could resolve your problems with a week away. Either that or I could lock you in a dungeon for a week until you come out BFFs.”
“Screw you, Damon,” she said.
Damon laughed. “Come on, neither of you have played for a while. I don’t know about the others, but I for one am sick and tired of Caleb’s bad attitude, and you got one.”
“Bite me,” Caleb said.
“I would if it would guarantee you would stop being an asshole.”
“Damn it, enough,” James said. “Why does everything have to turn into an argument with
you guys? You’re making me feel like a damn parent to you all.”
“And we’re going to be,” Cora said, speaking up.
The table went quiet and turned toward the club Prez and his old lady. Leo was in shock.
“What?” Paul asked.
“Yeah, I was going to tell you in a big kind of event. Flowers, streamers, and stuff. Getting you guys to behave for one day is next to impossible. So ta-da. James and I are going to have a baby. I’m pregnant. Oh, and Daniel, you’re going to be voted in as patched in member. We’re working on the leather cut, but with the way this club is, you’ll probably get it when you’re fifty.”
James burst out laughing and pulled Cora toward him.
Leo watched.
“We’re having a baby and my wife needs a good spanking. Daniel, your leather cut is in the trunk of my car. We were supposed to celebrate it a couple days ago. Life has gotten in the way.”
“This is fucking awesome,” Daniel said.
Cora slipped out of James’s arms, and got the leather jacket, coming back to show him. “Congratulations.”
“Put it on!” the table said, banging on the counter. Teri came out of the kitchen to watch as Daniel removed his Prospect jacket, and put on the Dirty Fuckers MC patch. It was a proud moment for them all. They had gotten a new member, and watching it reminded Leo of his own patch, which he’d gotten at exactly the same time as Paul.
“I want to go to Vegas. I think getting away will be good,” Paul said.
“We need to turn up the seduction on Skylar. I want more than the kiss.”
“Divide and conquer. We both make it clear that we want her between us.” Paul agreed. “Already way ahead of you, brother.”
The table got into the celebrations of Daniel’s newly patched in member, and of course the fact that Cora was pregnant.
Leo was so happy for his club Prez. James was a good man and had found himself a good woman. She was a little crazy at times, but together they were the perfect couple and he just adored the two of them.
After they finished their meal, most of the Dirty Fuckers went up to the clubhouse to continue the party.
Leo waited outside for Skylar. He had already told Teri that he was waiting for her sister.
Folding his arms, he leaned against the bench and looked up at the night sky. It was a beautiful, clear night, a night full of surprises, and many mysteries.
“You didn’t have to wait for me,” Skylar said, and he turned toward her.
“And miss a chance to be with you? You’re crazy. Paul’s back at the clubhouse. Probably wishing he was here with me.”
