Nadia nods her head, “That will be great. Thank you, Doc.”

“Anytime. I will check my schedule and give you a ring.” She puts her stuff away and goes into the attached bathroom to wash her hands.

Nadia hands Syvannah and Exleigh their own photos and they squeal in delight. “Ex, Anna, our little guy needs his Aunties to be strong for him. Can you do that?”

“Yes, Nadia.” They both nod their heads.

“I owe you two everything, so if you need anything, please find me,” Nadia tells them.

“Red has already promised us the protection of the Club and him,” Exleigh speaks up.

Nadia turns in my direction, a thankful look on her face. “You did?”

“Damn right I did. I owe these two my life for what they did for our son.” I nod my head, not taking my eyes off Nadia and her sexy body.

Nadia leans into me and plants her lips on mine. “You’re the best, Matt. I love you.”

“I love you, too.”

I hope I can keep my promise to bring retribution and vengeance to my woman and unborn son. I will do everything I can to find these motherfuckers and make them pay for touching what’s mine.

When I do find them, they’ll wish their faces never came through their mother’s crotch because I’m their judge, jury and executioner and I will not stop until I find them and end their terror.

Chapter Thirteen

Nadia

Watching Exleigh and Syvannah coo over the baby’s ultrasound photo makes my heart full. I am praying this little guy will help these two heal. I was scared to death when those sharp pains hit my stomach and the worst-case scenarios went through my head. Luckily, Emma was already here and she calmed me down long enough to figure out what was wrong. What she said made sense and a wave of relief lifted off my shoulders.

Then the tears in Matt’s eyes when we watched our baby come alive on the screen shattered any doubts I had about him. His confession made my heart swell and I knew then and there, no matter what, Matt is here for me, that he loves me and he will do everything in his power to protect our growing family.

“Nadia,” Matt’s voice snaps me out of my reminiscing. “The rest of the club is outside the hallway waiting. Are you ready to tell them? I know Kensi is going out of her mind with worry.”

“Yes. Where do we want to do this at? In here would be kind of crowded.” I look around the room and know there is no way all of those big, burly men and their women will fit in here.

“Here’s an idea. I have Church in twenty minutes. I can tell my brothers and you can tell the women. Unless you want mewith you? If you want us to tell them together, I can get Church postponed.”

I think about this for a few moments, while Emma gathers all of her things and quietly leaves the room. “Let’s do this together.”

“Ok, I’ll be right back.” Matt kisses me on the head before exiting the room.

“What do you want us to do?” Exleigh asks, looking uncomfortable.

“I want the two of you there too. Listen, I know this is weird, but some of the girls here have been through the same thing the two of you did. Maybe they can help you from their experience.”

Syvannah’s eyes grow wide with hope. “You think they’ll talk to us about it?”

“Let me ask them, but I’m sure they will if you’re willing to accept their help.”

“I would do anything to make this feeling go away. I hate being scared and weak.” Exleigh responds with tears in her eyes.

“You’re not weak. Either of you.” I gather both of them in my arms. “If anything, you two are the strongest women I know. It will take time, but some day you will see what I see.”

“Ok,” Syvannah nods her head. “I’ll try anything to make the nightmares stop.”

“Great. Will you two meet me out in the common room in twenty?” Matt comes back into the room when I ask them.

“We’ve got to start somewhere.” Exleigh gives me a strong hug and then Syvannah. They both leave the room, promising to meet us in the common room.
