And then we raced to the hospital.
The next seventeen hours went like this.
“Don’t tell me how big that contraction was. I felt it.” She snapped.
“Don’t you dare eat that in front of me,” she growled.
“You’ll give her herpes.” She sneered at Wolf.
“You're not getting into my promised land ever again.” She wailed.
“How dare you tell me I’m still beautiful. You promised never to lie to me.” She sneered.
“I’m sweating worse than a nun in hell.” She growled.
Thirty minutes later, when they placed our son, Niko Joseph Kope into her arms, she smiled, then looked up at me, and whispered, “I love you.”
I winked as tears hit my eyes at the beauty before me and said, “I love you too.”
An hour after that, the brothers came back into the room and checked out the second-generation SOMC.
Wolf scowled at her, “Herpes. Really?”
She gasped, “What are you talking about?”
“You told the nurse that I’ll give her herpes... really?” he said in a sarcastic tone.
She giggled, then she started laughing, “Read a meme that if you tell a woman that, it means she doesn’t deserve the man she is looking at.”
Wolf scowled, “The fuck you mean?”
She smiled, “Wolf, really? All the teasing you do... It’s to hide that tender spot you have inside of you. And I’ll be damned if I’m going to stand there and watch her lick her lips at every brother in the room and then lock eyes with you and think you’re an easy mark. Nobody does that to my boys.”
Wolf was silent.
In fact, you could only hear Niko’s breathing.
Then Kettle said, “You weren’t standing when you said that.”
She burst out laughing, which caused Niko to jump.
Then my son was passed around as the brothers checked him out and proceeded to give him wisdom.
“Only Harley-Davidson, Triumph, or Indian is allowed to be driven,” Nuke said.
“Don’t hit women,” Grimm growled.
“Don’t disrespect your mother. She scares me,” Grey said.
Khal pressed a kiss on the top of his little black hair-covered head, and since he was of Hawaiian heritage, he said, “Kahaha I komo mai I keia ao.”
He lifted his head, looked at my woman, then he said, “Wonder just entered this world.”
At those words, my woman started crying.
Nola
It’s been a year and six months since we welcomed our son Niko into this world.
