As I speed through traffic, swerving in and out of cars, Bob’s eyes are even wider with fear as I nearly hit oncoming cars, which is probably not helping his heart attack.

“Hap is ringing me!” Maggie yells.

“Answer it, and tell him we are four minutes out, and for them to have a wheelchair for Alina and a gurney for Bob,” I instruct over my shoulder, not daring to take my eyes off the road.

“Ow! Ow!” Alina cries out. “I need a shit. Why the fuck do I need to shit now?” she wails.

“Oh, fuck. Josie, Belle, keep Alina’s legs closed and don’t let her push!” I order. “She can’t have the baby in here,” I breathe out. “Just two more minutes!” I call out to Alina.

“Oh god! I need to push,” she pants.

I slam my hand down on the horn as I spot the hospital up ahead, beeping wildly as we approach to warn people and cars to move out of the fucking way.

“Hold on!” I yell as I take the sharp left turn into the hospital parking lot. The tyres screech across the tarmac, and the minivan tips slightly. Everyone screams, including Bob. I spot Ghost, Hap, and the others all standing outside the main entrance looking irritated. I beep the horn to get their attention, and as their gazes land on the van, I speed towards them. I slam my foot on the brake, and as the van skids to a halt, the back tyres fishtail as I try to retain control. We all lurch forward from the force as it comes to a stop just feet from where Ghost is standing, glaring at me with his arms folded over his chest.

I open the door and stand on the edge of the kerb, not having the time for this. “Get a gurney! This man is having a heart attack!” I yell. Doctors and nurses quickly come running over. “And this woman is having a baby!” I add as Hap helps Alina out of the car. I get out of the van and walk around to Ghost, ignoring the chaos that is happening around us. I stop in front of him, tilting my head back to look up at him.

“What the fuck happened?” he asks.

“Well, I took them off-roading to try and get the baby out, which worked, I might add, and then the truck got stuck, so Josie tried to ram it out of the muddy ditch it was stuck in, and then her truck got stuck. So, we got the double stroller and carried a contracting Alina away until it was safe to push her. We ordered a ride with Bob...” I gesture over my shoulder as doctors run into the hospital with him. “And he refused to take us because of a bit of mud. So, I may have spoken to him firmly and persuaded him to bring us here,” I sigh.

“And the heart attack?” he presses, still keeping his face void of any emotions.

“Before we even left, Maggie helped drag him across to the passenger side so I could drive his minivan, which I need to pay to have deep cleaned, and not just for mud, but I think Alina was literally crowning. So god knows what bodily fluids are on the back seat,” I say on a shudder, glancing over to watch Hap follow Alina and the doctors into the hospital. I look back up at Ghost. “Come on, I don’t think it will be long before Alina will have the baby,” I say, taking a step toward the hospital, but Ghost grabs my arm, keeping me in place.

“You need to get cleaned up first,” he states, his lips twitching.

I look down at myself, noting that my clothes and boots are covered in mud. “Oh,” I mutter, looking back up at Ghost. “I’m not leaving the hospital,” I state firmly. “If we were in that minivan just five more minutes, I’d be delivering that baby,” I add.

Ghost sighs, his steely gaze pinning me on the spot. “How do you always make me want to throttle and spank you pain in the ass with one hand, and then fuck you with the other?” he asks with irritation.

My grin widens. “Who said those have to be separate things? You can always throttle me and spank me while you fuck me.” I wink as I take a step back and lift my top over my head, revealing just my bra. Ghost’s jaw tightens, his eyes searching and daring anyone to look my way. “And the reason why you want to throttle and fuck me is because Casper, you fucking love me.” I smirk as I turn around and point to some hospital staff members. “You, where are the staff shower rooms? We need to clean up,” I state abruptly.

Maggie, Josie, and Belle come to stand beside me, and as one of the guys' gazes roams over my body, I feel the rumble of a growl at my back from Ghost.

“Down, boy.” I smirk at Ghost over my shoulder, enjoying his irritation far too much. I bite my bottom lip, fighting back a smile as the guy swallows nervously.

“Second floor, but you’ll need a pass to get in,” he stutters.

I walk towards him, fluttering my lashes as I hold out my hand. He places his pass in my palm. “You’re too sweet. Thanks,” I say, leaving him behind as we walk through the hospital to the elevators to go to the staff showers. Ghost, Beast, Cash, and Hawk follow close behind us, making sure everyone knew who we belonged to.

As we step into the elevator, I press the button. “Only you could be covered in mud and still make it look fucking sexy,” Maggie whispers in my ear.

I snort out a laugh. I wouldn’t call it sexy. Just more that I know how to play men, with them being such simple creatures and all. We all shower and change into hospital scrubs, and as we exit, Ghost, Cash, Beast, and Hawk are all standing there, waiting. Beast and Hawk are holding River and Maisy, looking all kinds of hot, and there is just something about seeing a big muscled badass guy holding a baby that just does something to women’s ovaries.

“Alina has had the baby. She’s waiting on you,” Ghost states, his eyes drinking in my body.

“I’m dressed in blue baggy scrubs, with wet hair and no make-up,” I say, rolling my eyes.

He grabs a fistful of the top as I go to walk past him, yanking my body against his. “Wet hair, dry hair, make-up or no make-up,” he whispers, leaning down in my ear, “clothes or no clothes. There isn’t anything you could do or wear that wouldn’t make me want to fuck you.” He growls, his breath tickling my lobe before he leans back enough to look into my eyes, showing me that his words are true by the lust and desire for me burning deep within them.

“If we weren’t standing in the middle of a hospital, about to see our friends’ newborn baby, I would drop to my knees and take you deep into my mouth and show you what you’ve just said means to me,” I tell him, clenching my thighs together to stem my arousal.

“You know most people would just say I love you,” Maggie states with sarcasm in her voice. “Instead, your conversations are like audio-descriptive porn.”

I give Ghost a playful grin before pulling away to continue on our way to Alina’s room. When we round the corner, the rest of the club are there, all standing around. I can’t help but smile at seeing them all there, taking over the room, much to the nurses dismay. Alina looks up at me and smiles, and I see tears sparkling in her eyes. I walk over and lean down, giving her a gentle hug.

“Congratulations, Mama,” I say softly as I look down at the beautiful bundle in her arms.
