The noise in the room grew, men and women yelling at each other, and Doc snapped her gaze to the Lady Riders who had somehow gotten in front of them. Shit, pregnant chick throw down, so not good. Doc blocked out the men and concentrated on the women, well, one woman. Harmony. The woman looked like she was going to give birth right now. She was holding her stomach, and moving as close to Doc as she could, bumping the other Sisters out of the way. Hell, they would never hit a pregnant chick, ever, but they would grab her arms and refuse to let her through in order to protect Doc.
“Tell me how the fuck you think you are pregnant by my father?” Harmony yelled, and Doc rolled her eyes, she so didn’t need this shit right now.
“Well, when the momma releases an egg, and a daddy shoves his dick up her pussy and let’s go of his swimmers, when they meet, either the egg laughs at their size and tells them to fuck off, or they are impressed with their tails and allow them to attempt to get through their shell,” Doc said slowly and calmly like she was talking to a child.
“Oh shit,” Shady said and put her hand to her forehead.
“Seriously?” Harmony snapped. “You do not want to poke this particular dragon, bitch. You know what I am talking about, so stop trying to be a condescending cunt. How in the fuck do you think you are pregnant by my father?”
Doc smiled a little smile, knowing it would piss off the woman, but honestly, she didn’t give a shit, she was in a mood. Dammit, all those hormones flowing around, she didn’t give one shit the condition of anyone but herself. And now everyone knew, everyone in both clubs knew, and it pissed her the fuck off. She needed time to deal; she needed time to talk to Fish without the whole fucking club being here. But apparently, she wasn’t going to get it, so she did what she did best. She pissed people off in order to release some of the unspent energy she had that was causing her to be out of control.
“Yes, I do know what you are talking about, and I am in a roundabout way, telling you to fuck off, it is none of your business. See that is what people do when other people who have no fucking business asking anything open their mouth and try to make themselves important. Now, run along and gestate while you still can.”
Harmony’s eyes narrowed. “None of my business? That is my father you are talking about. If you think for one second this doesn’t involve me, hell, all of us, you are sadly mistaken.”
Doc narrowed her eyes and said, “It will not involve you as my child will not be a factor in your life. As far as I am concerned, it was an immaculate conception.”
“Oh no, there is no fucking way this can be happening, and with this cunt. He is gonna be a grandfather; he is going to dote on my children, find some nice woman who makes cakes and cookies for his grandkids and then he will live happily ever after sitting on his porch in a rocking chair with his wife. You do not get to ruin that shit for my dad!”
“Seriously? Did you not just hear what the fuck I said, he is not involved,” Doc snapped and pushed up on her tiptoes and looked over Jugs who was blocking with her boobs. “You act like he is a hundred, shit, he isn’t that old.”
“He is too old for anything but a quick fuck with the likes of you. Besides, if he were to have impregnated anyone, they would be lucky to have him as a father because he is awesome! Hell, he could probably even make your kid slightly normal,” Harmony snapped, and Freedom sucked in a breath.
Shit was about to get wild, Doc thought as she felt the pressure in her head raise.
“Bitch, do not even try,” Doc warned, and Harmony pulled a knife out of her pregnancy stretch jeans. How the fuck did she carry a knife with a belly?
“Oh, I will try, but I will make it so you will never think about my father again!” Harmony yelled, and Shady grabbed her friend’s wrist and pulled the knife out of her hand and glared at the woman.
“What the fuck, I thought we took all your knives.”
Harmony smirked. “Yeah right, like that could ever happen.”
Freedom stepped close with Boo who held up their hands. “Come on now,” Freedom said. “We need to sit and figure this shit out.”
“We already have it figured out; we don’t need to sit down with strangers and discuss shit. Our club already knows and supports this, so back the fuck off, or we are going to have some serious issues. Doc already made up her mind, and that is it,” Mav snapped.
“Goddammit, Harmony, back off.” Doc heard Fish yell, and she saw Harmony’s eyes burn brighter from someone, especially her dad telling her to back off and stop. Doc knew it wasn’t in the woman’s nature to answer to anyone because she was the same. She didn’t take orders from anyone.
Doc risked a glance and saw four of the Furies had Shadow in their grasp, which made it a little less volatile. However, the room was still vibrating with tension, fuck, and it was all her fault. She could see the anger brimming in Fish’s eyes, he was pissed and rightfully so. Her eyes were drawn to his, and she felt herself grow cold. Fuck him, she thought, glaring now at him, how dare he look at her like she did something wrong. Asshole, she didn’t need him, fuck she didn’t need anyone but her Sisters.
“Let’s all just calm down please,” Creed said smoothly, and then Fling nodded.
“Chill the fuck out,” he added, and Creed smiled.
“I was gonna say that, but I felt like maybe I should not have cussed at people who were pissed off,” Creed said dryly.
Shady put a hand on Harmony’s shoulder and pulled her back a little and whispered into her ear. While Jugs, Mace, and Tae-Tae stepped in front of Doc and pushed her back. Doc rolled her eyes. She wasn’t in any danger, no matter how pissed off everyone was, Doc knew they were not going to hurt her.
“Clear out,” Fish snapped, and everyone turned to look at him. Doc smirked a little. Whatever, she was ready. He was out of this totally.
Chapter Ten
Fish waited while everyone in the room attempted to decide if they were going to leave him and Doc alone. There wasn’t really a choice, but he would let them think there was. Too many thoughts were flying through his head, and one of them was the night they were together. Had he used protection? Fuck, he couldn’t remember, too much fucking shit was going on, plus they had been drinking. He knew in the past it wouldn’t have mattered, Fish always used a glove with a woman, but then, most of the women he fucked, well, let’s just say there was no fucking way he wouldn’t cover his dick. He didn’t want it falling off with some weird disease.
But after the week on the road, and finally coming to a decision he didn’t give a shit about his age or hers, he wanted Doc, and that was all that mattered. However, everything went south right when Shadow announced that Doc was pregnant. He was shocked, but then he felt a surge of pride, fuck yeah, his swimmers were still fucking awesome. Shit, a kid, no, a baby, he was having a baby, again, at his age. What the FUCK? he thought, his eyes going to his grown daughter who was heavily pregnant. A grandfather and father in one year? This was too much to take in, he thought as he looked up at Doc who was staring at him closely.
He met her eyes, and he wondered for a moment if what he was seeing was real. She looked at him almost like she wanted to run to him and comfort him. But he had to be wrong; Doc wasn’t the kind of woman to do that. Now, if she looked like she was going to kick him in the nuts, sure he would believe that. Fish shut out the rest of the room because he felt their movement.
He turned and watched the Furies pull Shadow back to the door, the younger man struggled, still raging and yelling something that Fish ignored since it had to do with something about his mother fucking a goat or something like that. The Ops and the Lady Riders both moved. Fish saw his daughter being dragged by Shady and Freedom on either side of her. Shit, that was gonna be difficult. He and Harmony had always been the only family they needed, and with the Ops as their adoptive family, everything had always been okay with them. But he was looking at his daughter’s face, and she was pissed the fuck off. However, there was something else there, something he knew as her father
was going to need to be dealt with. Hurt, she was frightened of Fish being with someone else, let alone having another kid.
They finally made it out of the room and the only ones left were Fish, Doc, and her club, which still formed a barrier between them. He sighed and shook his head, raising his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose briefly. “We need a few minutes,” he said quietly.
“That may be,” Maverick said stepping forward. “But you better understand one thing, if you upset her in any way, we will kill you. And no, I am not dramatic, we will literally kill you. Cut your dick off, shove it in your ass, and then each of us will stab you in the heart.”
Fish grimaced, well, okay then, he thought, that was a little graphic. “Just please leave,” he finally said, and Doc whispered something he couldn’t hear, which seemed to help.
He didn’t move, he waited, and Doc shifted on her feet but held his gaze until the door latch sounded, letting them know they were alone. Doc moved forward a few times, then stopped and folded her arms over her chest and planted her feet apart slightly. She looked like she was going to kick his ass.
“Wanna tell me what that was all about?” Fish asked slowly.
Doc sighed and said, “That was my friend, wanting to kick your ass because he just found out I was pregnant like two seconds before you walked in the door.”
He nodded. “Well, is there some reason he was told before say ME?” he finished the calm sentence on a yell. Now, he was pissed.
Doc frowned. “Uh yeah, because he is someone I have known for-fucking-ever, and you and I just met and fucked one time. Sorry, I don’t give a shit if you had your dick in me or not, you do not own me. And you certainly do not have a say in who I talk to or what I say. I was going to tell you, but to be perfectly honest, I wasn’t going to tell you today. I didn’t even know you were coming. If I had, I would have taken Shadow out of the room; I know how protective he is of the Sisters and yeah, that makes him dangerous to everyone but us. This is not the way I wanted to tell you, I had planned on having a nice adult conversation and shit. Anyway, here we are, so, I am pregnant. It is my fault, I wasn’t thinking really that night, uh, I don’t really need to take birth control since I don’t hook up much, and if I do, I always make sure to use protection. It happened, and so there you go. I don’t really care about what you want in this, it is my body, and I am keeping my kid. If you decide you want something to do with him or her when they are born, cool, if not that is cool too. But just so you know, I am not leaving the Furies, so we will be next door neighbors. I would appreciate if you chose to not have anything to do with my kid, to make sure you are scarce when they are around. I don’t want someone blurting out shit. If you do, we will work something out.”
Fish grinned and then started clapping. “Wow, you were prepared, you know it would have been nice to prepare me as well, but hey, I am flexible. Now, just so you know, there is no fucking way I would ever turn my back on my kid. Ever. So, get that the fuck out of your head right now. Also, you better get used to the fact that I am claiming you, which means you will be an Ops, not a Furies. Right now, I am in the clubhouse, but I will be buying a house soon enough so until then, you will stay with me. I will be involved from the get-go, everything to do with our kid will be discussed to make sure we are on the same page. If you suddenly feel like you don’t want the kid, well tough shit, you are giving birth to it, and then I will take it, but you are not doing anything else.”
Doc frowned as she looked at Fish, she seriously thought he was going to run the other way, why the fuck wouldn’t he? Her frown deepened as she thought about what he said, being an Ops, living on their compound, staying together. So not happening, she thought and then she just laughed out loud.
“It is kinda cool you can have a sense of humor about this. I mean, I expected you to be angry and pissy, but to crack jokes, that is awesome,” she said, and Fish frowned this time.
“Yeah, not joking around. No kid of mine will be born without me and their momma being together,” he said.
Doc tilted her head and looked up in the air for a second, and then counted to five before looking down. “And how many kids do you have? I think I have the right to know, considering they would be related to my kid.”
Fish’s eyes narrowed, “I told you, Harmony is my only kid.”
“Well, apparently not anymore,” Doc snapped, and Fish glared at her.
“Listen, this will go much easier if you—”
“Shut my mouth like a good little woman? Well, sorry to tell you, asshole, I am not a club whore with no family. I have plenty of people who will help me, so you can go about your life and forget my kid and me, we will be fine,” Doc yelled back.
“The fuck you say,” Fish growled and then stalked to where she was standing and grabbed her upper arms. “You are mine whether you want to be or not; I don’t give a shit. Your fate was sealed when I gave you my kid. No one takes what is mine unless they want to have the fight of their life. So, as I said, if you are in, then you are with me, if you are out, then you are with me until my kid is born and then you can leave.”
Doc thought her head was going to explode, literally blow up from the pressure she suddenly felt. Fuck that shit, she thought and slapped one of his hands down and then pulled her arm back and punched him in the nose.
“Motherfucker,” he roared, and she ignored him.
“I know you did not just say that shit to me!” she ground out, and he looked at her and glared, his nose bloodied and if she were a guy, she would be on the floor unconscious. But there was no way he would hit a female. She knew that because she believed he was a good man. This was just a seriously sucky situation that they needed to work through in order to come to a decision on how to handle this.
“Don’t you get it?” he yelled. “I am not fucking going anywhere!”
Doc glared at him, and then they heard something, both turned and looked at the door. “Is that?” Doc said slowly.
“Fuck, stay your ass right here,” Fish snapped and ran for the door, pulling out his gun from the back of his pants waist.
It was coming from the front, and there was no fucking way she was standing there while her club and the others were being fired upon, no fucking way. She moved behind Fish, and when they reached the door, they could hear it clearer. She pulled her gun as well and tapped him on the shoulder.
Doc swore under her breath; she needed to get to her medic bag. She went to push by Fish who refused to budge and wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her back to him and snapped. No one stood between her and her family.
“I told you to stay there.”
Doc fought him and said, “I need to get my bag.”
Fish growled and pushed her behind him and cracked the door. She could see over his shoulder. It was mayhem. She saw both Furies and Ops running and firing. Fuck, then she saw the Sisters and Lady Riders as well, all behind the stack of crates that shielded them, and they were all armed and returned fire, all of them.
“Where is it coming from?” Doc yelled to be heard over the gunfire.
Fish turned and then said, “From the ocean side, looks like there are multiple boats out there, I can barely make them out, but they have some heavy firepower.” Doc nodded, and Fish turned to her and said, “You need to stay here; I am going to get the other women back in here, it is safe, the walls are concrete.”
He must have seen approval in her eyes because he nodded and then pushed the door further open and ran. She caught the door and watched as he made it to the crates. She knew the Furies and the Ops had fortified both clubhouses in concrete after some incident a while back. The houses closest to the ocean were also fortified, with bunkers in the basement if needed.
She held her breath as Maverick and Jugs helped Fish block the pregnant women, and they all ran toward the door. Doc screamed when she heard rapid gunfire, “Hurry!”
She threw open the door wide and stepped back so they could all get in the room. Fish was the last
one in, and he swung the door shut and locked it. Then he moved to the other door and locked it as well.
“Is there another entrance?” he snapped looking around the large room; it was the common room of the compound, so yeah, there were like five entrances. To the rooms the single guys used, or the married ones when they were in the dog house. There was also a kitchen where they took deliveries, as well as Fling’s office, which had a separate entrance. The Sisters had gotten the grand tour just days ago; they were familiar with the layout.
“Yes,” Doc yelled and looked at her club. “Mace and Jugs, the kitchen; Marbles and Tae-Tae, the office; Puddin’ and Dork, make sure the rooms are cleared; Gypsy and Spat, go to the armory. Mav, you are with me. Everyone else, let’s get the tables pushed to the side against the doors.”
Everyone moved but the Lady Riders who stared at them with a mixture of wariness and anger. Doc met Shady’s eyes in almost a challenging way, waiting for the other President to say something. Doc was surprised that without breaking eye contact, Shady said, “Boo, get a med center set up, the rest of you, check the windows, see if we have a clear shot to the ocean, if we do, that is where we will setup. Harmony and Freedom, you guys stay with me, call Nike and make sure our compound is secure. I already saw Knight and Z coming from our side. Find out if they can attack from the side.”
Doc nodded and then turned and moved to the direction of the offices. Fling had already designated a room for the Sisters. She wasn’t sure yet what they had in there, though, she had planned on checking it out after tonight’s fucking meeting. She really hoped that the office supplies arrived. ‘Cause several of her guns were stored in her office safe.
Everyone moved quickly as they heard the gunfire outside the building. Thank God her safe was there, and she also had a window, which she looked out of on her tiptoes. It faced the ocean, and she could see both the Ops and Furies firing toward the ocean. The marina lit up the boats, and Doc grimaced, there were men in the rocks climbing up firing at the clubs. Who were these fuckers? She turned and yelled down the hallway.
