Chapter 1

It’s been a few weeks and everything’s finally settled down here at the club. Kid and Riley are settled home and doin’ well. I can see it in Kid’s eyes, he’s ready to claim his girl in all ways and I’m happy for my Brother. There is still a part of me that is jealous beyond words. I want back what my brother has in his eyes, true happiness.

Those days are the best, I remember when I saw nothin’ beyond Kori. She was everything, nothing, not even my brothers compared to her. Now, there isn’t just her to consider, but my daughter. I don’t know how I’m supposed to survive not having them here, with me, under my roof keeping them safe and protected. Finally, I can’t take it anymore, Kori knows I was in her home. I left her enough clues, I also made sure she knew I found my baby’s birth certificate naming me the father.

I
watch as all of my brothers are getting themselves a babe for the night or leavin’ to go home to their Ol’ ladies. Mine, I have to park down the street from her house, or park outside the hospital to even get a peek at her. It’s been years, we had this shit planned out. She was gonna go to school, come home and not just be my Ol’ lady but marry me. She was and is my forever, my only and I will, one way or another, get my life back. It’s not just Kori and me now though, it’s about us as a family. We have a daughter, that information once I found it, knocked me on my ass. 

I decided to play detective one day while she was working and found a box of papers that was hidden under a plank of hardwood flooring in her closet. I looked through them hoping to find out what exactly is going on. The surprise was on me, I spent over an hour looking over that birth certificate playin’ over the dates, her name bein’ my sisters who died when I was fifteen at the hands of our father, and her journal. Kori’s journal lays out the past four years of runnin’, trauma she endured from her father and his henchmen and fear.

All that fear she had, and I wasn’t there to carry that burden for her.

I’m here now, and she’s about to find out really quickly that she’s not alone, I don’t give a fuck about that little speech of hers. And quite frankly, neither do my brothers and sisters. I have to get her and my daughter here to safety, first and foremost. And then Daddy Dearest is goin’ to ground, and along with him any motherfucker who stands in my way. I’m not playin’ games here, I’m playin’ for keeps. I’m keepin’ my family, my daughter belongs with her father as much as her mother. And Kori is fixing to clue the fuck in, I pull up her number I programmed in my phone from her phone bill I found in a stack of bills on her kitchen table.

Me:
No more runnin’ Angel, it’s time to come home.

Angel:
Tic, is this you? How did you get my #?

Me:
Should ya question that? Ya know I always get what I want?

Angel:
This isn’t funny, Tic. It’s dangerous!

Me:
Don’t care. Want my family home! You, me and our Daughter Kori! I mean it               NOW!

Angel:
Oh god, Tic what have you done? We could all be in danger now.

Me:
I’m comin’ for y’all. Be ready, we’ll keep ya safe. You should’ve believed in me

Angel:
It was never you! Damn Tic, Never you. It’s been about protecting my family. You! Rage Ryders!

Me:
Then believe in us, and bring me my Angel and my Daughter home. Bring my breath back to my body. I want to live again

Angel:
Come get us. God, come get us Tic, we need you. I’ve been so scared.

Me:
I’m coming Angel, I’m coming. I’ll go pack what you need to make it for a while. When it’s time we’ll go back to your house and make it our home.

Angel:
I love you! Please come get me and Lila Rose, she knows all about you baby.

Me:
Lila Rose, after my grandma, the only woman other than you who loved me! Thank you Angel.

Angel:
When

Me:
Now

Angle:
I’ll call the daycare and tell them Lila’s daddy is coming to get her. I’ll come after my shift is over in 4 hrs.

Me:
Counting down, but you’ll have an escort. No more unescorted travels Angel.

Angel:
Why am I not surprised?

Me:
It’s to keep my family safe. Please don’t fight me on this.

Angel:
I will never fight you again. Stay with our baby girl and send a prospect. She needs her daddy.

Me:
If that is your wish. I will send a couple brothers and prospects to get your things and I’ll go get our girl.

Angel:
Prospects and Brother’s going through my underwear? Really Tic?

Me:
Should I get your undergarments and put our daughter on hold?

Angel:
NO! My phone could be tapped; I don’t trust the old bastard. Go get our baby now!

Me:
Already in my truck and on my way. Stay safe till you’re in our arms. Love you, don’t leave the bldg. Prospect will be at exit doors.

Angel:
will not leave bldg. Promise…Kisses and ((hugs)) till I can give them to you in person.

Me:
Accepting all your love and sending back twice as many.

As I end the text with my Angel, Kori, I feel a weight lifted off my shoulders. She gave in to me too easily which means she’s been ready to come home and is tired of fighting on her own. I pick up the phone and call the prospect and ask him to take an available brother with him letting him know I’ll call King myself and let him know what’s up. As soon as I hang up with the prospect I do call King and tell him the situation and have him send an available brother and tell him about the papers under the plank. He says he’ll take care of it. I know he will. My Prez sounds as happy as I am to have our girl back home where she belongs.

To have all of the MC Princesses in the protective arms of the MC is when we all feel like we have the family whole. Plus, on a good note, when we have them all within’ eyesight, we have a better shot of knowin’ what’s not only goin’ on but protectin’ them better. Can’t take care of what you can’t see, and that’s not happenin’ with my blood and my Ol’ lady. They will soon be where they need to be. It seems all the women are coming home, it’s time. Kaci and Kassi, VP’s girls seem to be settling alright, Travler’s keepin’ his eyes glued to Kaci as usual. Wonder when the fucker’s gonna open his eyes and take what we all know belongs to him. Even VP is waitin’ for him to take what’s his, we all know it.

Hope he makes a play before it’s too late, he’s not the only one with eyes on the prize. We’ve just all known where she belongs for years now, but the other guy has started makin’ his play. Just cause Travler’s stayin’ the night at her place doesn’t reserve a space in her heart and definitely doesn’t give reservations between her legs. He hasn’t touched a babe since she’s been home.

Gotta get outta this headspace, I see my baby’s daycare and I need to be all about her. She’s never had me and today, I belong to no one but her. Until her momma comes home, anyways. Then I’ve gotta figure this whole sharin’ thing out. I crave havin’ them both, but her momma I need her. I need to feel her desperately; it’s been way too long since she’s been in my arms. I hope tonight is the night for that reconciliation. I’m in need of claimin’ my girl again. My body, soul, and mind need everythin’, every damn inch of her to be claimed all over again.

With that done...I'm off to start my next adventure—Meeting my daughter.

Chapter 2

Driving to a daycare center was definitely something new for me. Walking in, handing over my I.D. like a stranger to pick up my daughter wasn’t something that I was proud of. A stranger to the school that teaches my daughter what she needs to know at the tender age of 3, is an experience I’m never repeating. I will never be a stranger anywhere that houses my daughter, whether it’s temporary for an hour or a lifetime of teaching.

Kori’s done a good job picking out a place for our girl though, it’s clean, secure, and the ladies here seem protective over these kids. That was a weight I’d not realized I’d been holding onto or carryin around on my shoulders. Then as I followed the lady from the front office to my daughter’s room, I saw her through a window and knew immediately which one was mine. She was me with our brown mop color hair in two pigtails. As she ran around the classroom, her hair was bouncing and her hair looked like tiny pom-poms. She has the cutest, chubbiest thighs on a toddler I’d ever seen. Gorgeous eyes that could see straight through you, looking identical to her mother’s.

Kori, damn, just thinking of her eyes and passing them off to my daughter, my child, my second chance at love. Kori just keeps giving me everything to remind me, or so she says, that I am the best at loving someone. Well, these two beautiful ladies in my life are fixing to know how true love feels. I am gonna drown them in it, they will never again know a day without my love and protection. Just then as I am watching my baby girl run chasing this damn boy, which she and I are gonna talk about just as soon as I get to hold her tight in my arms.

My daughter, at the age of three, should know nothing of boys! Not now, hell not ever as far as my heart is concerned. I believe that little girl, my little Lila, she’s gonna be the one to bring me to my knees. Her momma brought me to my senses, my daughters gonna break me down and flay my emotions. I will never be safe from my girls. I’m gonna have to work hard at keepin’ my tough skin with these two. Kori used to get everything she wanted from me, I can only imagine what this little dumplin’s gonna do to me.

Her screamin’ moves me in motion, I’m in combat mode immediately until I realize what she’s screamin’.

“Daddy, Daddy, my Daddy’s come to get me!”

Fuck me…I never realized bein’ called Daddy could make me feel so full. This little rug-rat’s freakin’ done it in 2.5 seconds. I’m on my knees in front of her as she jumps...no, she flies into my arms. Knockin’ me down on my ass in front of all these people. I should be humiliated, but I just can’t seem to bring myself to feel that emotion holding my girl in my arms.

“Daddy, are I gonna go home with you? Momma said one day she’d make it so. Did Momma make it so Daddy? I’d really like to go home with you.”

I turn with my daughter in my arms and walk down the hall. I know, I can feel it, if I answer her here in this hall, all these grown women, ladies who care for my daughter will see me at my lowest. I’m barely holding myself together as I put my mouth to my daughter’s ear and whisper “always, you will always be home with me. Daddy’s not going anywhere that you and Momma aren’t.”

That’s
one fuckin’
promise this father can make to his daughter and know without a doubt, nothing could be further from the truth. This father right here...I am fighting for my family, now and for the rest of my life. Anyone who dares to get in my way, won’t be breathing the next, that’s a guarantee. I never threaten, I always make guarantees. Just as I did to this precious cargo in my arms. Never goin’ anywhere without bein’ on high alert, I scan the parkin’ lot as I make my way toward the truck. When my attention is caught by the figure standin at the tail-gate.

“Damnit Travler, what’re you doin’ here? I’m on high alert and was ready to take you out without a question. You don’t do that shit to me! You know that shit, do you have a fuckin’ death wish?”

I was so angry, but still needin’ to watch the way I was spewin’ my angry words at my brother. Rememberin’ I have my daughter in my arms I go to place her in her seat just in case I need to slap some sense into the nitwit who thought it would be a good idea to try and surprise my ass.

“Now boss, before you go all badass on me. Did you really think I would watch you walk out that door, lookin’ the way you did without givin’ you some backup rather you wanted it or not? We’re brothers, that shit doesn’t happen in our family. If you ride, I ride. Period, end of it. Let it go, and let’s get this gorgeous little girl home. Shall we?”

Fucker knew just what to say to keep himself gettin’ a structure rearrangement. And by that, I mean that ugly mug he carries away on a daily basis…everyone says he and Tumbler are model-worthy. My ass, they may be identical, but Travler, he’s one who seems to always know what’s goin’ on with his brothers. It’s like he has some type of read into our minds. Freaks me the fuck out. I jump in the truck and start my journey home…
