Chapter Twenty-Nine

Hawk

I pace the hospital floor What the fuck is happening to my family? First Brooke, then my mom I only left Brooke after she told me she was okay, and to check on my mom because she could see how restless I was I kissed her, and I told her, I wouldn't be long

Brooke will be okay for a short while without et back There's also a couple of prospects outside her door If anything happens, not that I think it will, but if it does, one of them will come to find me, and I'll be there in a flash

I wasn't surprised to find Lynette, Shepard, CueBall, and a few of the other older members here with Wrench, Stryker, Coral, Roman, and Ace They all moved from outside Brooke's room and followed my dad to my mom's My Mom means a lot to everyone, and they're all worried about her

We're all on our feet as soon as Dad comes out of Mom's rooainst it for a second “Dad, how is she?”

He s one hand on the side of my neck, and the other on Wrench's “Where's Mark?”

Mark? Oh, shit, it's serious!

“I'e difference between them, and he alill be Dad wouldn't tell Wrench andthere

Dad pulls Stryker closer “Your Mom wants to see the three of you”

“What happened?”

“I'm too shocked to say the words, Wrench Just come with me, the three of you”

I look atat me Each one of us is scared

“She's all right, isn't she?”

My Dad sest smile on his face for a o “They're just cleaning her up; then I can take the boys in”

“Cleaning her up?” Wrench ss hard

“Spit it out, BlackJack, I ain't getting no younger” We all chuckle at CueBall

“Mom had a baby?” I don't knohy I need clarification, but I can't seem to fully believe this could be true, not after whatanother child However, the look in my dad's eyes, the s the shit out of him If anyone deserves this, it's my parents

“Mr Anderson?” Every one of us with the na us “Okay Let me see if I've remembered this correctly I know you're the Daddy,” She points at my dad “You three must be Taylor's sons Stryker, Hawk, and Wrench, and I really hope those aren't your real names” We all chuckle “Your mother is ready to see you, and” She closes her eyes for a second as if she's trying to re my mother has told her “Coral?”
