I won't be stuck withback there, not for anything I'ht here with Hawk and Gabriel

I knew the ive him up, never keep him from his father My little boy has the best daddy there is, and they deserve to know each other

“Does this ood, darlin'?”

Home

I like the sound of that

The truth is, when I ith these people, they were my home They made me feel like I was one of them, and I was so comfortable with them that I never wanted to leave

I smile at BlackJack He's always been a sweetheart to , bad biker outlaws are so much more than the reputation they've acquired Yes, they do bad things, illegal things, but it's usually for good Mostly

Hawk's arm slides around my shoulder as he scoots a little closer to ood”

I keep my eyes locked with his A small smile spreads across my face That's exactly what I want, to be hoivenman he really is I am so lucky to have him in my life, in Gabriel's life

I've now been awake for almost forty hours, and I don't think I can keep er I' is okay with both Gabriel andto let us stay with him, I can sleep

“I'm so tired,” I mumble with my eyes closed

When did I lay my head on his shoulder?

I sense his sht before he lowers my head to the pillow below me “Sleep, baby”

“Don't leave Gabriel alone Please” I won't be able to sleep unless I knok keeps Gabriel with hihts I don't trust ht not know that I'm here, but that doesn't mean I want to take any chances

“Sleep,” He kisses my head “I won't leave Gabriel, I” His voice trails off as I lose myself to some much-needed sleep

Don't be nervous, baby” I nod at Hawk

He's brought h he infor here His rooed him to let us stay here just for a couple of days I don't feel safe anywhere else right now This place is like fort knocks no one can get in without being noticed and shot on sight if he or she, are deereed that we could stay for a while

I know he has an apartment a mile or so away I know there is plenty of room for Gabriel and me there, I've been there before, but I am terrified that my father will find me there All it takes is Hawk to step out the door, just oneme back to the farm with him

There are plenty of places there that he could hide me away from the world Believe round shelter for years and years, and no one would ever find me

BlackJack said we could o back to Hawk's apart back hoh fire shoeless

Hawk said it would be nice if we looked for a house that our own A place we can start fro to do real soon

I thought after spending the night in the hospital we could coet settled in Unfortunately for me, Taylor has called every member of the club and their other halves to throelcome home party for Gabriel and me

As touched as I aht now I'ht However, I don't want to sound ungrateful; the woht me new clothes, clothes for Gabriel, diapers, blankets She didn't have to do that, but she told randson, after all

“Let's go through the back entrance There's so I want to show you before we meet with everyone”

I nod and take Hawk's outstretched hand

I love how he holds our son with such ease; my baby looks so tiny in Hawk's s there He'll always be safe there

Hawk leadshallway that leads to his – our – rooo of his hand and clasp mine over my mouth “Who did this?”

“Maria, Nova, Willow, Coral, and the rest of your friends here”
