Two months to go before Silvy brings our baby into the world and I can’t wait. I feel our baby moving every day. I have watched Silvy’s belly grow as our baby gets bigger. Soon I will have our baby in my arms watching them grow from the outside of Silvy. There is still so much to do before that happens. I have been moving my stuff into Silvy’s house little by little. I know Silvy has noticed but she hasn’t said anything about it yet. I’m living in her house and have been for a month. I have been waiting for Silvy to say something every time I come home. Home. That is exactly what I feel when I walk through the front door. Silvy is my home and where I belong. Me staying in the house with her. Cooking and having meals together. Showering together. Sleeping with her in my arms every night. It all feels right.
She hasn’t said a word. Silvy hasn’t told me to pack up and leave like I thought she would when she caught on to what I was doing. But she hasn’t. There is a big part of me that doesn’t think she is going to. Something has changed in Silvy. I don’t know what it is but there is a defiant change. I believe it is a good one. Silvy isn’t pushing me away like she had before. She is still guarded but not as badly. She welcomes me home with a smile and a kiss. She is getting more involved in my life. Asking questions she hasn’t asked before about my life before and after the club.

Silvy asks me about me working at the dispensary and how I like working there. And she is including me in decisions around the house. Like what I want from the store or for dinner. Where we should put the crib and changing table? Should we get a bigger bed? We? she said. And yes we are getting a bigger bed. It should arrive any day now. Then there is the physical contact. Whether it is sex, a hug, a kiss or cuddling, Silvy is instigating more of it. The bottom line is we have been living like she is my ol’e lady. Like we are married. To everyone but Silvy she is my ol’e Mady. I just need to make it official to Silvy and the club by her getting my mark and my kutte. She can’t get my mark until at least six weeks after
the baby is born. Longer if she breastfeeds. We went through this with Merigold. Axel and Rowdy wanted to mark Merigold right away as is the way with the club. Merigold who was pregnant at the time, sat us all down and explained getting a tattoo while pregnant or nursery could be harmful to the baby.
But my kutte she can wear right now. And I can’t wait to see that. I know Silvy is going to look damn good wearing it. I just need to convince Silvy of that fact. And I’m well on my way. Now I just need to help Silvy deal with her drug seekers. That is where Viper and I are now. To get more information on it. We put a prospect, Meathead, on Silvy when she works. He reports back any time Silvy gets a drug seeker. So far there have been only two problems and as soon as they saw Meathead or Bull the person hauled ass quickly.
Oh Silvy wasn’t thrilled when she found we had a protection detail on her. She didn’t even know she had one until Meathead stepped in when a junkie got mouthy with Silvy and he stepped in. Silvy said she didn’t need protection and she didn’t want Meathead scaring the patients. Yes, Meathead can be a scary guy. Six foot two and wide as a doorway. I wasn’t having it. I convinced Silvy that Meathead would continue to be there just out of sight until he was needed. It was to keep her and the baby safe. She reluctantly agreed.
We are at the police station being walked to Bradford’s office. The officer knocks and Bradford shouts for us to come in. Viper and I go in after thanking the officer. Before the officer closes the door he says “Make to tell Lilly’Hi‘ for us.” If weren’t here for a serious situation I would laugh. These guys adore Lilly. We take a seat in the chairs in front of Bradford’s desk. “Thanks for coming in,” Bradford said. “You find something?” Viper asked getting down to business. This isn’t a social visit after all. One of ours is dealing with bullshit.
“Yea, I think I did. I checked with the hospital staff here as well as the sheriff’s department the next town over. They are having the same problem. Between the two of us, we can keep drugs out of our town. Red Devils help in the next town so the addicts have nowhere to go. Add in the methadone clinic shutting down the junkies are getting desperate. They use the hospital to try to get drugs. There have been some break–ins to a few pharmacies and vet clinics because of people looking for drugs.” Bradford told us.
“Damn, so what do we do?” I asked. I had to keep my girl safe. “Unfortunately there isn’t much we can do. As long as they don’t harm any hospital staff or commit a crime our hands are tied. The hospital keeps track of the drug seekers and makes sure not to give out any narcotics to them but they are just as stuck as we are. I have told our hospital to keep track of the troublemakers and report them. Other than that.” Bradford just raises his hands in defeat.
Well, shit. It looks like our hands are tied.
“I have a couple of guys looking for some extra time doing a shift at the hospital. Primarily in the ER since that is where the junkies go. I know you boys have one of your guys down there as well.” Bradford said. “We do. We are protecting one of ours.” Viper said. Bradford looked at me and asked, “Silvy, is one of yours?” “She is. And mine very soon.” I told him. Bradford leans forward and places his elbows on his desk. “Goof I have never had a problem with you or your club. I have known Silvy all my life. We went to school together. She is one hell of a woman. Most of my officers would go to bat for her in a second. So make sure you hear me. Fuck over Silvy or that baby and we are going to have a problem.” Bradford said sternly.
The message was clear. I fuck over Silvy, Bradford is going to have my ass. I’m just not sure who would be first. Bradford, my club or Tony. I look Bradford dead in the eyes “Won’t happen. If it does I stand there and let you get your shots in.” Bradford nods” Then we are good. If you hear something give me a shout. I will do the same for you.” Viper and I stand up and shake Bradford’s hand before leaving. I hate that there isn’t
we can do about these people but I will make sure Silvy is watched at all the times I’m not with her. No one is going to touch her or our
