Lynn sits down and takes out some food for Michaela. “Etta and I were forced to marry right after you left. I was married at thirteen and she was fifteen.”
Danny sits back on the couch. I can see the pain in his face. “You both are babies! Dad is a piece of shit. I hope to god he didn’t hurt you, too.”
Pain slices through my heart because he just confirmed that he was another victim of their fucking stupid father. I wish I could dig him up and tear him apart.
The girls look down, confirming exactly what he wanted to know. “I am so fucking sorry.” He reaches out and grabs both of their hands, then looks at Vinny, giving him a look of empathy.
“We’ll be okay, we’re in therapy and Vinny has taken good care of us. Time is all we have now. We’ll get where we need to be.”
Danny has a look of a proud brother. I am so proud of all of them. They changed everything around and look at them now.

Two Months Later
“Baby, time to wake up.” Trey kisses my forehand, rubbing my bare back. I can hear wrappers opening in the background and I peek one eye open to see Vinny holding a small box.
“I’m awake.” I sit up and the blanket falls down to my lap, exposing my breasts. Trey hands me a T-shirt and I slide out of bed.
Last night Vinny randomly told me that he can’t remember the last time I had a period, and you know what? I haven’t had one since I’ve been living with them. I got off my period right before I met them.
Vinny must have run out and got some tests as soon as he woke up, but me? I wanted to sleep in. I’m still so tired, but we did have a huge sex fest last night.
I walk into the bathroom and I pee on multiple sticks, then I carry the tests into the bedroom with me.
Vinny and Trey climb into bed beside me and we wait for the results, the little blinking symbol driving me crazy.
“Just don’t look at it, baby.” Trey turns my face away from the pregnancy test, kissing me and pulling me into his chest, still tired.
We’ve been setting up the homes for the girls we’ll be rescuing. Lynn and Etta have been a huge help and have been writing down names and addresses of the underage girls they know were married and the ones who would want out.
I’ll be there. I’ll be in a car with a prospect, along with Braelyn and the girls because they insist on being there to help make the girls feel comfortable.
The MC have purchased land right next to Trey’s family. It’s a huge-ass farm with multiple big houses and a ton of little ones for the families being rehomed. The Grim Sinners have also donated a ton of money. We have had people working twenty-four hours a day to make sure it’s all finished, because tomorrow?
It’s all going down.
I look over at the test and pick it up. My heart starts beating so fast because of one single word.
Pregnant.
“Fuck, you’re carrying our baby!” Vinny takes the test and pulls me into his lap, holding me tightly.
Trey puts his hand on my stomach. We’re all shocked that it happened this soon. Trey kisses me so sweetly and strips me out of my clothes, laying me back so gently on the bed.
They both make love to me so sweetly and we’re all in tears, feeling so much in this moment. It’s a moment that’s going to change our lives forever. Nothing will be the same after this.
I have never been happier. Life is exactly what it’s meant to be.
Trey scoots down the bed, resting his head on my stomach, and cups the bottom of my belly in his head. “I’m your daddy. I can’t wait to meet you,” he whispers against my stomach.
Vinny scoots down next to Trey on the other side. “Hi angel, your dads can’t wait for you to be here. I can’t wait to see you grow inside of your mommy’s belly.”
I smile widely at the ceiling, basking in this beautiful moment. “You have a doctor’s appointment in thirty minutes. We need to leave in a minute,” Trey interrupts the moment and helps me out of bed like I’m fragile.
“I can get out of bed just fine,” I tease them, but my heart is beyond light right now.
Trey just smiles. “Let me baby you? You’re growing our child right now and you’re doing all of the work, but the only thing we can do is take care of you.”
Since he put it that way, I can understand why he insists on treating me like I’m made of spun sugar. “Okay, you can take care of me all you want.”
Vinny snorts. “We always take care of you.” He smacks my ass before he grabs a pair of leggings and a shirt.
He hands them to me, and I get dressed. I sit down on the bed and Trey brushes my hair for me.
This is love.
Words mean a lot, but their actions mean so much more. It’s the small things that mean to the most to me.
We walk to the truck and both of them have a hand on me somewhere. Lynn and Michaela are outside playing on the playset that Danny bought for her.
Danny has decided to prospect for the MC and he’s already a favorite of the guys. They like that he has a military background.
I can see a huge difference in Vinny. He’s much happier, but the biggest difference is the girls.
They’ve changed right before my eyes. I am in awe of how much they have changed. They’ve come out of their shell. They’re themselves now and it’s beautiful.
Lynn sassed Danny for picking on her the other day and I wanted to cheer her on because that is such a huge deal for her.
She’s still scared of me, both she and Etta are, but they also know that not everyone is out to hurt them and are learning to trust a little each and every day.
The ride to the doctor’s office is nerve wracking. What if the test was a fluke? What if I'm not really pregnant and I break their hearts?
I look over at Vinny, who is grinning from ear to ear. Usually we would be on the back of the bike, but since I could be pregnant, the truck is much safer.
We walk into the clinic and are taken straight back. They do blood work on me and I’m taken to the back of the clinic to change into a gown and wait for the doctor.
Trey and Vinny each hold my hands. “Are you nervous?” Vinny asks.
I let out a deep breath. “I’m scared that I’m not pregnant. I already have my hopes up. I want to be a mom so bad,” I admit honestly.
Trey stands up and hugs me. “Angel, if you aren’t pregnant, then it’s not the time for us. Things happen when things are meant to happen.” He kisses the back of my hand and sits back down in the chair.
The door opens and I stop breathing, waiting for the doctor’s verdict. “Well it looks like you’re pregnant!” She grins at me.
Relief fills my whole body. The guys squeeze my hands. She asks some questions and I tell her when my last period was.
“NO!” I hear someone yell at the top of their lungs outside the doors. I jump, startled at the loud and unexpected noise.
Trey gets up and looks outside the door, but no one is there. I laugh uneasily. “Uhh, do you have ghosts here?” I ask the doctor, and she looks just as confused as I do.
That was really weird.
Trey sits back down and takes my hand again, the doctor getting back to business.
She has me lie back to do a vaginal ultrasound, and the guys spot the wand. “What the fuck is that? Is that going up your…?” Trey stops and stands up like he’s going to snatch it out of the doctor’s hands.
