Forever Girl Page 12

  “One of the prospects has gone into town to get a swing set and enough wood to make a fort for Jamie and a playhouse for Jazz.” He says to me when I mention a swing set.

  “They’re going to love having a fort and playhouse along with the swing set honey. It makes my heart happy that you even thought about what the kids would want. How do you feel about getting a dog?” I say as I put my arms around him.

  “We’ll start looking for a puppy for the children. I’ll probably have enough wood left to make a dog house. I should probably get a fence around the backyard also. I want to make sure wild animals can’t get into the yard while the kids are playing.” He tells me.

  “You think of everything my love. Is my dad and your brothers stopping by?” I ask as I give him a kiss.

  “They’ll be over in an hour or two to help build the stuff for the kids. I need to call one of my brothers to come over to help me get the dimensions. Then I can call the prospect while he’s at the hardware store to pick up the fence too.” He says

  I holler to the kids and tell them it’s time to go in the house. We need to decide on what rooms they want. They run up to use and asks if they get their own rooms or if they have to share still. Dean tells them that they’ll get their own rooms and they respond with hoots and hollers.

  We get inside the door and Dean goes to the wall to turn off the Security System.

  “The code is 071892” He tells me.

  “Yes it’s your birthday.” He says when he sees the question in my eyes.

  We came in through the kitchen and it’s a chief’s dream. Chrome appliances, black marble counter tops, dark cherry wood cabinets, cherry wood floors and the ceiling exposes the wood the same color as the floor. I think to myself this place is going to be heaven to cook in. Next to the kitchen is the dining room and it has a table that’ll seat twelve. It’s dark cherry wood and the chairs are black. There’s a chandelier that’s made of Elk Horns above the table. I can see into the living room from the kitchen and dining room. He constructed the main floor to be a completely open space. I see the fireplace that dominates one wall all the way to the ceiling. It’s stone and as I walk further into the room I can see part of the upstairs and the wood banister. The living room ceiling is probably thirty feet high. There are a couple of chandeliers hanging from the wood beams that are exposed. There are two black leather sectionals and a coffee table in the space in front of the fireplace. There are two bookshelves on either side of the fireplace. On the right of the living room you can see the hallway and the stairs that go up to the second floor. The stair railing’s made of dark cherry wood. The steps are grey stone it’s beautiful workmanship. I walk to the hallway and there’s four doors. The first door on the left is a half bath with a dark wood counter. The faucet looks like a well pump and the sink is a bowl. The room is painted a light brown color and the trim is a darker brown. The first door on the right is the library. Three of the four walls are floor to ceiling bookcases. The fourth wall is glass with a sliding glass door that leads outside to the porch. The second door on the right is his office. He has a desk made of Mahogany and it’s a large piece of furniture. He has a computer on it and there are files that are stacked to the side. He has pens, stapler, tape, the usual stuff you would find on a desk. Two walls have bookcases with a couple of pictures and his Diplomas from high school and college on one shelf. The fourth wall is also a wall of windows with a sliding glass door leading outside. I walk out of his office and make it to the end of the hall. I open the door and there are steps that lead to the basement. I’m getting ready to go down and check it out when Dean stops me.

  “I’ll give you a tour of the personal gym and the other bedroom and bathroom later baby. Let’s get the twins upstairs so they can pick out their rooms.” He says to me.

  I smile at him and he grabs my hand as we make our way back to the stairs. The twins are waiting for us at the top of the steps. I get to the top of the stairs and there are two doors on the right hand side and two on the left. At the end of the hall there is a single door and I know that will be mine and Deans room. I open the first door and it’s a good size room. It has a mini walk in closet and an in-suite. The bathroom has a single sink counter, a shower tub and a window. There’s a small closet that will hold towels and wash cloths.

  “I don’t want to decide until I see all the rooms.” Jazz says.

  Jamie follows behind her as we look at all the rooms. The lay out of the rooms are pretty much the same. Jazz decides she’ll take the first room we looked at. Jamie decides he’ll take the one across from her. I’m already planning what I want to do with their rooms.

  “Daddy will you help me get Star Wars stuff for my room? Can I have a Space Ship bed like the one I saw on TV?” Jamie asks.

  “We’ll make sure you have the coolest room ever.” Dean says to Jamie with a look on his face like he just won the lottery.

  “What kind of room do you want sweetie?” I ask as I walk up to Jazz.

  “I want a real princess room.” She informs me.

  “We’ll make you a real princess room then.” I tell her and give her a cuddle.

  I go out into the hall and make my way to mine and Dean’s room. I open the door and I see the California King sleigh bed that dominates one wall. On the wall opposite of the bed is a large dresser. A flat screen hangs above it. On the wall left of the bed is nothing but windows and a sliding glass door that leads out to a small patio that overlooks the backyard. Right next to the glass wall is a door. I open the door and it’s the walk in closet that’s the size of my old bedroom. One wall is filled with Deans clothes and shoes. The other side is empty so I know it’s mine. On the back wall is two dressers and between them is a full length mirror. There’s also built in dressers and shoe rack. I walk out of the closet and go to the double doors on the other side of the bed. I open the doors and it’s the master in-suite. The bathroom has two sinks, toilets, and stand up showers. On the either side of the door is the sinks and counter spaces. The counters are dark cherry wood. The sinks are grey marble. Behind the counters are the toilets. Next to the toilets are two stand up showers that are grey marble and can hold two or more people at the same time. The showers have four shower heads on the wall, eight smaller spray heads, two detachable shower heads and a waterfall shower head in the ceiling. It also has a sauna setting and a bench seat that looks like grey marble like the rest of the shower. In between the showers is a garden tub that can fit four. There’s a picture window behind the tub that looks out into the woods. I’m in love with this bathroom. I can’t wait to try out the shower and tub.

  “I’ll be taking you in the shower later baby. Then I’ll take you in the bed after that.” Dean whispers in my ear.

  I can’t help the moan that leaves my throat and he chuckles.

  “Baby you were made for me. I love you. How do you like the house baby?” He asks

  “I like the things you say to me and love what you given us. This house is amazing. You did a great job with the layout and plans honey.”

  He kisses me and tells me that I’m need in Jasmine’s room. The prospects have brought her stuff up and but didn’t know where to put her stuff. Dean tells me that the prospects have left to go help get the stuff from the hardware store. I make my way to her room to get it situated. I make a mental note that I’ll have to go to the store and pick out bathroom curtains, shower curtains, rugs, slip guard mats for the showers, towels, wash clothes, soap dispensers, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, tooth brush holders, toothpaste for each of them, and step stools.

  I get Jasmine’s room situated the way she wants it until we can go shopping. I need to make a list. I need paint, bedroom furniture set, princess theme comforter set, curtains, lamps, and those stickers you can put on the wall. Dean will be shopping for Jamie getting the same things. They might have a store here but I’ll sit down with Jazz and look online. Hopefully I can order it and have it delivered and Dean can do the same with Jamie. I tell Jazz that w
e’ll start looking online for the princess things she wants tomorrow. I smile as I think about how happy I am that we know have Dean in our life. I wouldn’t change the last six years for anything. This is where I belong and I want to be right here for the rest of my life.

  Jazz and I are coming down the stairs when we hear a bunch of motorcycles come up the drive. We go out the front door onto the porch. I see about 25 motorcycles, a dozen cars, and two trucks taking over the driveway. I’m thinking holy shit did the whole MC come? It’s then I realize that Zeus is the President and I’m his daughter. I’m also with Dean so yeah just about everyone’s here. Dean walks up to me and puts his arm around my waist and gives me a squeeze.

  “Should I call you Titan?” I ask him.

  “Babe you can call me Dean or Titan. You can call me Titan when my brothers are around, but not at home or when we are alone.” Is his reply.

  I smile and say okay. He gives me squeeze and grabs Jazz up into his arms. Jamie comes up and grabs his hand and then mine and we walk off the porch to meet our new family.

  Chapter 22

  Titan

  Zeus is the first off his bike and walking up to us. Behind him I see all the other brothers getting off their bikes. A couple of the brothers go to the cars and get their kids out. The old ladies start getting out of the driver seats. A couple of the brothers go to the truck and start to help the prospects unload the materials. I see Captain get out of his truck and go around to the passenger side and open the door. Ellie gets out and they hold hands as they approach us. This is the first time Lyric’s going to meet her grandparents and our kids are going to meet their great-grandparents. Zeus has walked up to us and Lyric has stepped away from me. She steps into his open arms. I can tell he’s telling her about meeting her Mamaw and Papaw for the first time. She has tears in her eyes. She takes a shuddering breath and he turns her around and puts his hands on her shoulders. Captain and Ellie make their way to her. Ellie has tears running down her face and wraps Lyric into her arms. They’re both crying when Captain puts his arms around both of them and he kisses Lyric’s head. I hear him tell her that she’s home now and he’s the happiest fucker in the world. He lets go of them and walks over to me and Zeus. He puts his hand on my shoulder and gives it a squeeze. Then shakes my hand.

  “Thanks for bringing our baby doll home.” He says to me.

  Zeus has Jasmine in his arms and Jamie’s next to me.

  “I’m your papaw and I’m real happy to meet you.” Captain says to Jamie.

  Jamie looks at me and then at Zeus. We shake our heads telling him it’s the truth. Jamie jumps into his arms and starts to cry. Jazz gets down out of her papa’s arms and goes to Jamie. Captain introduces himself to Jasmine and she has tears in her eyes at this point. I pick my little girl up and she cries into my shoulder.

  “Princess you’re okay. I got you honey. It’s time to meet your mamaw now.” I say as I rub her back.

  Captain, Zeus, and I walk to the women with the twins. We introduce Jazz and Jamie to their mamaw Ellie. Tears just keep coming down Ellie’s face as she’s hugging and kissing the twins. Ellie goes to Zeus and wraps him in a tight embrace and kisses him before walking to me.

  “Thank you for bringing my granddaughter and those babies home to us. You better treat them right if you know what’s good for you.” Ellie says to me.

  I hug her and let her know that Lyric and my kids are my life. She smiles and walks to Captain. He hugs her and then smacks her ass as they walk toward the house. The twins follow right behind them. Lyric walks up to me and I open my arms to her. I give her the comfort she needs right now. I know this has been an emotional day for her and our children. I kiss the top of her head and tell her that there are a lot of people that want to meet her.

  We make our way to the house and we can hear the twins talking and playing with some of the kids that are here. I tell all the kids to go outside and play.

  “They’ll be fine. The brothers and old ladies are all around. They’ll be looking out for all the kids.” I say when my woman looks at me.

  We make it to the kitchen and I introduce her to the old ladies that are in there. Whistler’s putting groceries away with Leelee. Butterfly’s putting the dry goods into the pantry and S.J.’s helping her. Cheeks is getting out some pots and pans and putting them on the counter. Slice’s opening up wine and getting glasses. Legs is cutting what looks like onion, lettuce, and tomatoes for the hamburgers while Cherry’s cutting up vegetables for a salad. Claws is sitting at the Island talking to Shoes and Ellie. We step into the kitchen and I take Lyric’s hand and Ellie gets out of her seat and comes up to us and grabs Lyric’s hand.

  “I would like to introduce my grand baby to everyone. Ladies this is Lyric “Baby Doll” Valentine.” Ellie tells the woman.

  Ellie proceeds to tell Lyric everybody’s name.

  “Don’t worry about remembering their names. They’re on their cuts if you forget baby.” I tell my woman.

  All the women come up and hug us. They congratulate us on finding each other again and for me bringing her back to her family. I turn my head and kiss the top of my woman’s head.

  “I know this is a lot to take in but it’ll get easier.” I whisper.

  “I’m going to take her out back and let Zeus introduce her to the brothers.” I say to the ladies.

  They wave us off and tell us not to worry. They have everything under control in here and that there are some other Old Ladies outside with the kids.

  We step out the sliding glass door to the back deck. Zeus and Captain each have a beer talking to Shadow at the Tiki Bar. Que’s manning the grill with Hound. There’s brothers all over the backyard. I take her hand and we walk over to her dad and papaw. He smiles at us and stands. He cups his hands around his mouth and yells for everyone to pay attention. Everyone gathers from the house and backyard to the porch as he introduces Lyric to everyone. Before everyone starts coming up to introduce themselves.

  “Babe, don’t worry about remembering everyone’s names. Remember the names will be on their cuts.” I say to her.

  “I used to make up stories with people’s names and I observe things most people overlook. No need to worry honey. I got this.” She tells me with a small smile.

  The line has formed and people start to come up to us. Que and Whistler come up first. Road Runner and Leelee are second then Stone and Sis, Thorpe and Cherry, Killer and Shorty, Smokey, Kid and Cheeks, Monster and Butterfly, Muscles and Legs, Sonny and Eyes, Milk, Pike and S.J., Stick, Knives and Claws, Shooter and Shoes, Reap and Button, Steel and Slice, Speed and Lady, Pounder, Gunner, Zinger, Demon, and Fury. Then the prospects come up and she’s introduced to Cage, Tiny, and Tiger.

  “The prospects are all MC kids except Torch but he grew up with them. You’ll meet Torch and Boxer later.”

  I know she has to be going crazy trying to remember all the names. To look at her you couldn’t tell.

  “Welcome home baby doll.” This is your new life.” I whisper in her ear and kiss her temple.

  She can see all the kids playing and hanging out in groups.

  “Is the whole MC here?” She asks me.

  “Yeah babe except for Torch and Boxer and some of the older kids.”

  “Is torch and Boxer guarding the Clubhouse?” She asks

  “Yeah they are right now. In a bit two of the prospects here will relieve them so they can come and grab some grub.” I tell her.

  “Will the sweet butts be making an appearance tonight?” She scrunches up her nose as she asks.

  I give a bark of a laugh and kiss her head.

  “They won’t be coming here. They don’t come to family gatherings at all. The only way a sweet butt will come to family gathering is if the get claimed by a brother.”

  Everybody starts to disburse again with some of the women going back into the house. The others going to the kids or talking with each other or to brothers. Some of the brothers are drinking and setting up tables and chairs whil
e others are putting up the Swing Set, Playhouse and Fort. I see the Prospects have gone back to putting the fence up. Que and Hound went back to manning the grill.

  “Babe you want a beer or some wine?” I ask

  “I would love some wine. I will go get a glass as a matter of fact.”

  I give her a kiss and look out at the kids running around playing as I grab a beer and go help with the Swing Set.

  Chapter 23

  Lyric

  I walk into the kitchen and mamaw’s grabbing the wine to pour herself another glass.

  “I could use some wine.” I tell her.

  “I bet you can baby doll.” She says with a laugh.

  I go to the cupboard and grab a Mason Jar out. I look in the fridge and see a bottle of Moscato. I grab the bottle and pour about half of it into my jar. She and some of the other women laugh and I can’t help but giggle.

  “I like to drink out of the jars and usually I don’t have to fill it up again.”

  “That makes sense.” A couple of them say.
