Chapter 30

Breaker – One Month Later

I smileas Smokey and Snake argue over who is meeting up with the Untamed and their women for a fun run. Apparently, Axel, their president, and their VP, also argued over who would go. Our women and theirs together are a fucking nightmare.

If we could get away with just the brothers, then there wouldn"t be a problem, but every fun run, the ladies get themselves arrested. Every fucking time.

The brothers all move down, not wanting to be a part of it, and I groan before stating loudly, "For fuck"s sake, Quinn and I will go in support of our club. Her job means she can"t afford to fuck up. Ken will be home then, so she can watch Noah for the first week, and my parents the second. We"ll need to check if Quinn is safe to ride."

Snake and Smokey sigh in relief, and none of the brothers question why I"d need Quinn to be medically cleared. However, Crow looks at me confused, knowing her shoulder is fine now.

Tats speaks up and asks, "Not Lola?" with a grin.

The brothers chuckle, and I shake my head. "No, definitely not Lola. I still don"t know how they set six snakes loose in the common room. Noah was always scared of them."

Snake shudders. "I swear, never a fucking gain. That woman needs to be supervised with him."

I chuckle and nod in agreement as Doc clears his throat. We all look at him to see his eyes on me, and I sigh.

He"s ready to blow.

"When exactly is Kennedy getting back?" he asks, trying to keep his cool.

I"ve told him I"d help him, but her feelings will always be first in my book, and he needs to understand that. She doesn"t want him to know, so I"m keeping quiet.

I clear my throat. "She, uh, doesn"t want anyone to know?—"

He cuts me off, getting angry, "Are you fucking kidding me, Breaker? I told you why I did what I did and why I thought it was the only way. Why won"t you tell me when she"s due back so I can finally become whole again?"

I sigh and sit forward, linking my fingers on the table, and say, "She just wants a few days to settle back in before the club bombards her. Lucas, everyone around this table is on your side, but I must be on hers."

His face reddens. "Let me guess, you"re picking her up from the airport?"

I clear my throat. "Actually, I"ll be flying out to her and traveling back in her car."

Some brothers curse while the old timers, who have known the truth about Kennedy, nod in respect to me.

Doc stands angrily. "Does your old lady know about your infatuation with Kennedy?" I suck my lip ring in my mouth, trying not to laugh. "You always wanted her, didn"t you? That"s why you"re not willing to help me? That"s why you fucking hit me, a brother…."

I laugh, I can"t help it. Sniper grips Doc"s arm before he can swing at me, and I state loudly, "What I"m about to say does not leave this fucking room. Do I make myself clear?" I look around the table, the brothers all looking at me confused, and I make eye contact with Doc. "Lola only knows because Ken had enough of her shitty behavior, my old lady knows because, well, she"s, my woman, and Tech knows because he"s Tech, he knows all."

Doc furrows his brows as Bull, Snake"s dad, states, "We old brothers know as well."

And I nod. "They also know."

Snake speaks up, "We promise not to mention anything outside of this room, including to our women. What don"t we know, brother?"

I nod before sighing. "Fuck, she may kill me for this…. Kennedy is my blood cousin."

Doc sits down in shock, the men all looking at me with their mouths open, and I continue.

"My dad," I look at Crow, "my birth dad…." He smiles. I look at the brothers, whose eyes have softened. "…and Kennedy"s momma are siblings." Their eyes now widen. "When dad chose the club and momma, his parents, who were extremely Christian, disowned him, and so did his sister. My grandparents have seen the error of their ways, just too late. They know Ken and I want nothing to do with them out of respect of my dad, but have set up trust funds for each of us. Neither of us have touched the money, though I did encourage Ken to spend hers to move out of her momma's. Still, the girl is stubborn and knows as soon as Cora finds out about the money, she"ll demand it."

Sniper cuts in, "Why the secrecy?"

I sigh, running a hand through my hair. "Her momma hates the club; she"d stuck by her parent"s beliefs. When Dad died, she said it was karma. Brothers, Ken"s life growing up was hard on her. It"s why she spent most of her time here at the club, staying in my room. Her momma is a bitch and a whore, while her father is an abusive drunk. When she was a kid, my father made sure she got to know us, and Ken always knew not to tell her momma. Dad also wanted her to know she had a family that loved her."

I make eye contact with Doc. "Ken is my cousin, Lucas. You hurt her, so I fucking hurt you. That is how it goes. Her feelings come before yours. Yes, I understand why you did what you did, but you still hurt her. I"m going to put her first. Yes, I will help you as I promised, but she has asked for a few days to settle back in. She"s not stupid, she knows you"re going to go full force, and I"ve tried to get in her head about you and your love for her, but you made her the other woman. You lied to her. You have a fucking lot of groveling to do, and you need to tell her why you chose the oath you did. There is shit you don"t understand, Lucas, shit I refuse to tell you because it"s not my place, and my loyalty is with Kennedy, my cousin by blood, my sister, my heart. Plus, I have better things to deal with than your hurt over not knowing when she"s coming home. You need to understand—Noah, Quinn, me, we"re her reason to come back here, but you need to work on being the reason she stays."

He swallows hard, and I sigh, admitting, "I leave in a week; I"ll give you her new address after she has settled. That"s all you"re getting."

He bites his lip and rasps, "I"m sorry, brother, and you can hit me again, I"ll take it."

I nod with a chuckle as Smokey asks, "What other shit do you have to deal with? Well, except for Kennedy"s momma, but you have us brothers to help you with that bitch." He tilts his head, and I start to sweat because my woman is going to kill me. I don"t regret it, I'm only frustrated that she won"t speak to me for a while. Smoke continues, "You have a beautiful son who has started to thrive again despite his trauma, a woman who loves you and said son enough to jump in front of a bullet for you both, and your blood cousin who—honestly, we all thought you had a thing for—is coming home…. What did you do, brother?"

I suck my lip ring into my mouth as the brothers all look at me with furrowed brows.

Crow sits forward, asking, "Son, I know that look; it"s the same one you gave me and your dad after crashing his bike. What the fuck did you do?"

Fuck, he had to bring that up….

I clear my throat. "I uh, well, you see…."

Sniper swears. "Aw fuck, brother, what have you done."

I swallow hard and admit, "I…fuck, I didn"t want to lose her again, so I-I…."

Bull blurts, "Spit it out, brother."

Shit.

"I swapped her birth control pills for vitamins a few months ago, and, if my calculations are right, she"s roughly five weeks pregnant and doesn't know."

The brothers all look at me in shock, and I nod. Because as happy as I am that she"s carrying my baby, she"s going to kill me, and my balls are going to be very fucking blue.

Tats blinks before rasping, "Fuck. It"s like a full circle. A bitch traps you, and you decide to trap your old lady."

I wince because, yeah, that sounds bad.

Doc clears his throat. "Yeah, brother, you"re fucked. Never mind your old lady killing you, just wait until she tells Ken."

I groan, dropping my head, rasping, "Ah fuck…." The brothers start to laugh at my predicament and, fuck, am I tempted to point out Sniper"s wedding ring.

My girl was right, the fucker got married but isn"t saying anything just yet, and I really want this attention off me.

As open my mouth to point it out, but the church door is slammed open, making us all look ready to grab our pieces. Instead, the brothers scoot back, and I flinch at the anger in my girl"s eyes.

She points at me and shouts, "You mother fucking son of a—" she pauses. "Nope, not saying it, I love your momma."

The brothers try not to smirk, as Crow just grins and states, "She loves you, too, darling, but now that you"re carrying her second grandchild, she"ll be even happier."

Quinn freezes momentarily, and I furrow my brows as she asks, "Second grandchild?"

My eyes widen as the brothers silently curse, and I ask, "That"s why you"re mad, right?"

She looks at me, confused, and states, "No, I"m mad because you sold my Fiat, a car I worked my ass for, and swapped it for the truck." Ah fuck. "I"m not…." She looks around the room before looking back at me. "I"m not pregnant, Alex, I"m on the pill, and I had my period…." She stops for a moment, thinking, as Tech mutters, "shit."

I nod because she"s about to fly off the handle.

Quinn"s eyes narrow, and she asks coldly, "My period is nearly two weeks late. Why would Crow think I"m pregnant, Alex?"

I clear my throat. "Well, you…uh see…. I noticed it was late, and just happened to mention that I think you might be…."

The brothers wince, and I, yeah, I know I should tell her the truth, but fuck does my girl look scary right now.

She tilts her head. "I"m on the pill."

I swallow hard and nod. "But…uh, the pill can sometimes fail."

She doesn"t believe me. She places her hands on her hips and states, "Yes, they do…. But you have made sure to always come inside me the past few months. Why is that, Alex?"

"Fuck," Snake whispers, moving away from the table, along with the other brothers.

"Please, fucking tell me you did not mess with my birth control to trap me?"

I wince at her words and state, "It"s not trapping when you are my old lady and the love of my life."

Her face reddens before she screeches,"We"re not even married yet, you jackass! And I wanted to adopt Noah first!"

I smile at her words because I can"t help it, and I ask, "You want to adopt him?"

The brothers try to hide their smiles because she looks scary right now. They don"t want to piss her off any more than she is.

She states, "You know damn well I want to, and you know what, jackass? Enjoy the couch and your blue balls for the foreseeable future, because you are in the fucking doghouse." I go to protest. Still, she ignores me and looks at Doc and points at him. "You meet me in the medical room. I had drinks with Lola last night, and thanks to that jackass, I could have endangered the baby."

I silently curse.

I"ve managed to ensure she hasn"t had a drink the past few weeks, and yesterday and last night, I was out on club business with Tats, ensuring the fuckers who Jingles helped were all gone after two were spotted in the street. The townsfolk are happy and safe. I wasn't there to stop her from getting drunk.

She looks at me, anger radiating off her as she grabs Snipers" cup and throws it at me, screaming. I duck, just missing it as she storms out of the room.

Doc winces. "I"ll, uh, go after her. Just, fuck, tell Ken I miss her, please. And I"m sorry, brother, for the accusations. I just, I love her so much, and yeah, good luck."

I nod in understanding as he goes after my woman.

The room is quiet until Crow speaks up and asks, "So, how about a betting pool to see how long she lasts without him in their bed? I"m going with twenty-four hours."

The brothers laugh as I shake my head with a smirk, and Snake states, "I"ll give her three hours starting tonight," making me grin.

"That was my favorite cup," Sniper moans, and we all laugh.

"You going to go after her?" Eagle asks, and I shake my head.

"Nah, I value my life and balls. Doc will keep me informed, but I think the baby should be fine. Plus, I need to call Ken because I have a feeling I"m a dead man."

The brothers laugh as I shake my head, smiling. My woman may be mad right now, but everything is falling into place. The only thing I need to do now is to wife her up.
