Page 49 of Knuckle's Dispute

“You got everything ready to head home?”I ask as a nurse walks in the room.

“I’m sad to see you leaving here today,” she says, pushing me out of the way and leaning down to press her tits in my man’s face.

Without thinking, I grab the skank’s ponytail and drag her away from Micah.He starts laughing his ass off as the bitch screams and tries to lash out at me.

“What the fuck do you think you’re doing?”she screams, trying to get her hands on me.

“I’m getting you away from my man.You have no right to push me out of the way to show him a pair of bought tits he has no interest in.If you’re that fucking desperate, you’re in the wrong profession.There are plenty of street corners in Frostford you can use,” I state, my voice low and deadly as I turn her to face me.

“That’s not what he was saying last night when I was riding ...,” she tries to lie to me before Micah explodes.

“I wouldn’t let you fuckin’ touch me if you were the last woman on this planet.You’re a desperate cut chaser no one wants to touch.You’ve tried to get with every one of my brothers when they’re here and have been turned down each time.You’re fuckin’ disgustin’ and this will be reported.Especially if you’ve hurt our baby,” he growls out, making the skank freeze with tension and fear as he finishes speaking.“Now get the fuck outta here and pack your shit so it’s ready when you’re tossed out on your ass.”

I release my hold on the skank’s hair and she rushes from the room as Marie and Micah start laughing their asses off at me.

“Jealousy looks good on you, Little Fighter,” Micah says, leaning forward and pulling me to him so I almost land in his lap.

“Who said I was jealous?”I question him, my voice barely above a whisper as my heart races and I can’t look away from the man who stole my heart so long ago.

“You’re definitely jealous, Janessa,” Marie states, her voice tinged with the laughter she’s not bothering to hide.

“Who’s side are you on?”I ask her, pushing off of Micah and standing up straight while trying to get my body under control.I forgot how much pregnancy hormones fuck with me.“Let’s get you home before Tease decides to kidnap our son.”

“He wouldn’t think of it,” Micah growls his own jealousy coming out with the thought of his cousin seeming like a better choice in our son’s eyes.

Marie and I laugh before we grab everything and head out.Today is the day we’ve all been waiting for and I couldn’t be more ready to get out of this place.I typically hate anything medical related, and having to be here every day smelling nothing but antiseptic and getting headaches from the fluorescent lighting has killed me.I haven’t said a single word to anyone about it though because Micah had no choice but to be here and I wanted to be here for him.I’ll do anything for the man I love and being here is part of it.

***

The last two weekshave allowed Micah and I to get into a routine that works for us.I’ve been working from home while Victoria works in the office for any potential clients who might wander in for a lawyer.She remains in constant contact with me and has been to the house for dinner a few times over the last two weeks.The only time I’m completely unavailable is when Micah has an appointment or therapy session.He needs me to support him and that’s what I plan on doing regardless of what else is going on in our lives.

Micah spends a good portion of each day with our son.He’s able to move around freely now and has no problem walking up and down the stairs with Kaden in his arms.He refuses to let me carry him up or down since I’m pregnant and is worried about something happening to me.I keep telling him he’s being overprotective, but Micah won’t stop.Even Tease is being way too overprotective of me lately and it’s driving me crazy if I’m being honest.I wouldn’t change it though.These men are exactly like my brothers and I’ve learned to deal with it over the years.

Tease has been spending every single day at our house.He’s essentially become our chauffeur and is there for every single appointment, therapy session, and while I have to run to the office for work.I refuse to bring anyone to the compound for a meeting so that’s when I have to leave.Eric and Seth have been going with me and remain at the office while I’m working.

“Little Fighter, where you at?”Micah calls out from the living room as I sit in the office he made me.

Getting up from my chair, I make my way out to Micah.He’s lounging on the couch with his feet up and our son sleeping between his legs and the back of the couch.Micah is an amazing dad and always watches out for our son.His safety is the most important thing to him and he does absolutely everything for Kaden.He’s been feeding him more often, changing his diapers, giving him baths, and everything else while I work and relax when I can.A demand from him at the end of a long day of work.Especially if I’ve been to court for a case.Tease always goes with me on those days and he remains as close as possible to me at all times.

“Is something wrong?”I ask him, my brow furrowing as I look at him and wonder why he’s yelling when Kaden’s asleep.

“Not at all.You’ve put in almost ten hours today and it’s time for you to stop workin’.Tease is makin’ dinner for us tonight.Well, he’s grillin’ while Marie makes the sides.Not sure what we’re havin’ but it smells fuckin’ fantastic.It’s time for you to spend with us and stop thinkin’ about work,” he tells me, his voice softer than normal because I’ve been putting in a lot of hours lately.

“Okay,” I tell him, not putting up a fight because I know he needs this.We both do.“I’ll go take a shower and get ready for dinner.”

“Don’t like you showerin’ alone, Little Fighter.Somethin’ could happen when you’re in there alone,” he says, getting off the couch and picking our boy up in his arms.“I won’t join you because we won’t ever get out of there, but I will sit in the bathroom with you.”

“Okay, Micah.I know this is what you need so I won’t fight you on it.Just know the water won’t be all that hot.Not allowed to use hot water like I usually do,” I inform him, remembering what I was told when I was pregnant with Kaden.

Micah grabs my hand and we walk upstairs together.He leads me into the bathroom, never once putting our son down or waking him up.Kaden sleeps so much better when Micah’s around for some reason and has started sleeping longer each day.It’s been a relief but at the same time, it makes me realize how fast our son is growing and that it won’t be long before he’s sleeping through the night, talking, walking, and learning to do things on his own.He’ll be a young independent boy we won’t have to do everything for.

I quickly strip down and turn on the water of the shower.Getting in, I don’t waste my time washing my hair and body before rinsing off.I shaved this morning, but always feel a sweaty mess by the time I’m done working.Micah doesn’t take his eyes off of me the entire time I’m in the shower.It makes me feel safe and protected because I know he’d be at my side in a heartbeat if I were about to slip and fall.Kaden wouldn’t be dropped because my man is just that fucking good.

Once I’m done, I get out and grab the towels Micah holds out for me.He watches me wrap my hair in one before drying off my body.I put on a pair of sweats and one of Micah’s tees before we head back downstairs.Tease is in the kitchen and he looks up at us with a smile.

“There’s my boy.Come to Axel,” he says, moving around the island and heading straight for us.

“Back off, Tease.I’m not ready to hand him over yet,” Micah returns, smiling at his cousin before handing our son over to him.
