The End For Now
Epilogue
Dra
I know I don’t deserve this woman standing beside me. I blamed Maddie for the two years that I missed with Betsy. I should have been man enough to look in the mirror and realize that it was both our faults. Yes, Maddie ran from me and hid Betsy’s existence but I also was the one pushing her away. We had things stacked against us from the beginning but intend to make everything up to Maddie for the rest of our lives. All our loved have come together today to watch us celebrate our union today. It’s simple and relaxed just the way Maddie wanted it. I am in my jeans, button down shirt, my cut, and my biker boots. Maddie and Betsy are dressed in simple summer dresses but they are beautiful. I would have given Maddie the moon if she asked but this is what she wanted.
Maddie’s Aunt Deb walked her out to me with our daughter walking in front of them throwing out rose peddles. Micah is standing beside Maddie and Krill is beside me. Callie and Devil showed up with all their brood in tow. Sarge even showed to be with Micah. All the Troubled Fathoms MC are here, just the way it should be. Time is officiating the ceremony since we are already married. Time is an original member of the Troubled Fathoms MC and he said he would be happy. I needed this ceremony so we could move forward.
“I would like you to welcome everyone here today. As everyone knows, Maddie and Dra are already hitched, but today they wanted everyone here as they renew their vows. I am honored to be the ring master.” Everyone laughs at Time’s attempt at humor. “Maddie, you are too good for this bum.” Time winks at my bride. “But if you insist, let’s do this. Dra, I believe you are up.” Time has everyone laughing and has taken all the tension out of the room. I am relaxed and all I see is Maddie. I clear my throat.
“Maddie, Time’s right, you are too good for me. It doesn’t matter though because I can not let you go. You and Betsy are my heart. I fucked this up so many times, but I swear to you that is over. I am going to be the man you deserve and be the best damn dad that I can be. Love, honor, and protection is what I can promise you, Maddie. Anything else is icing on the cake and I intend to give you plenty of icing. You are my life and what keeps this heart beating. I love you and no man could ever love you more.” I look at Time.
“Well damn, Dra, that was almost sweet.” Time laughs. “Maddie, it’s time to get your say in.” A smile comes over Maddie’s face.
“I am going to make you keep your word. I love you and I think I fell in love with you the first time I met you. I could say a lot of flowery words, but I have heard that a picture is like a million words.” Maddie reaches inside her dress pocket and hands me a picture. At first, I don’t know what I am looking out and then I look closer and a smile slides across my face. I take a step closer to Maddie and pull her into a scorching kiss.
“I think you are getting ahead of yourself there, Dra. I haven’t said kiss the bride.” Mine has everyone laughing.
“We’re pregnant.” I let Maddie have a breath of air and I yell for everyone to know. “I love you, babe. You have made me the happiest man.”
“I guess you have done more than kiss your blushing bride. Let’s party!” Mine yells. Everyone laughs. I don’t care what anyone else does. I only have eyes for my woman and what is next in our life together.
The End for now…

Chapter 1
Krill
I have a son. Me, a dad. It’s hard to wrap my mind around the idea. Nine years I have had a son. Now I know how Dra felt. I know nothing about my son but he is nine and his first name is Cage. If I had known that Jenny was pregnant with my child, I would have fought Dad. I would have fought the whole damn Troubled Fathoms MC to be with Jenny and my kid. Jenny and I went out separate ways because of club business. Jenny and I loved each other. We had plans for our future and they were all blown to hell because Rico wanted more power and money. Greed, that is what tore us apart. I have not let a woman get close to me since my Jenny. She was the only woman that ever meant anything to me besides getting my cock wet. I can’t ignore what Bethany told Dra. Has Jenny changed? Does Jenny have an agenda? Bethany took a risk warning us. I am going into this situation with my eyes wide open. I am aware that it is a big coincidence that drugs have started moving through our town and then suddenly Jenny shows up. Drugs were a big part of the Spirit Arms MC. Dad always said there is no such thing as a coincidence. He also said there is no going back in time. The pull between Jenny and myself is still there. We had a sexual chemistry that I have not felt since then. Too many unanswered questions. My mind keeps going back to sweet Bethany and Cage. Maybe I can save them all. I’m no white knight but I am going to do everything I can to find the answers I need.
This is just the beginning…
