Dashawn and I started a caravan on our way to the compound. We were in our vehicle with Kong. Behind us were Cia and Ashton. Kimber and Matt were behind them. In the fourth vehicle was Robert, Davis‘, Natalia and Luca. We invited Ellora, Avery and Jory, but Ellora
declined on their behalf, thank God.
Dashawn told me he gave Cassie and Becs a heads–up about Luca and Natalia. He also talked to Luca with permission from his aunts. Luca had no ill feelings towards them and when Dashawn shared their story with Cassie and Becs, they said to bring him along.
I didn’t understand until he explained to me what Cassie and Bec’s did to Natalia’s
grandmother.
We pulled up to the clubhouse, Cassie Ripper, Dozer and Becs and Owen and Hex were all
outside waiting for us.
“OH MY GOO00000D!” I heard a yell.
Robert spirited past me and I gawked as he literally fell to his knees in front of Owen and f*cking bowed.
“I am so not worthy, I am your biggest fan,” he gushed at Owen’s feet, who was preening like a
peacock.
“Pretty sure that’s me, son,” Hex growled out.
Robert jumped to his feet and grabbed Hex’s hand and pumped it up and down
enthusiastically.
“I am your fan too. Your video’s saved my life seriously. If you hadn’t uploaded them on YouTube of Misfit, I wouldn’t be here right now. Thank you.”
My mouth dropped when he threw his arms around Hex and burst into tears.
Hex wrapped his arms around him and pounded him on the back. Owen wiped his eyes.
“Oh, we are so adopting you,” Owen said.
Cassie and Becs walked up to Luca and Natalia. I saw them having a conversation and then Luca shook their hands. I let out a breath, everything was going to be okay.
They were shown to their rooms. I found it endearing to see Davis walking with Robert and

holding on to his arm, giving him comfort. He was a sweet kid.
Dashawn and I went to our room.
“Hurry baby. We need to feed you,” he said.
“Um, I’m not hungry?” I said to him.
“You only had a parfait this morning,” he complained.
“That’s all I wanted.”
“It’s not enough. You have two of my babies in there. That’s a lot of energy your body is expending. I’ve been reading. You need to eat three hundred calories per baby more in your daily diet. That’s six hundred calories extra and that’s only in the first trimester. It’s more as you grow our munchkins.”
“Dashawn, do you want me to gain a hundred pounds?”
“Baby, I don’t care how much weight you gain as long as you and the babies are healthy and
satisfied. Now, let’s go to the kitchen. I’ll cut you up some apples and put some peanut butter
on them.”
“With chocolate chips?”
“Whatever you want, baby. Then, I’m going to make you a turkey and cheese sub with
tomatoes and spinach.”
“That actually sounds really good.”
We made our way to the kitchen. All of his aunts and uncles were there, as was my mom and
Butcher and Kiki. Tawny and Rockstar were too. It looked like they were all making a dish.
“We’re getting ready for tomorrow. Sammy, can you cut up some fruit for a fruit salad?” Lia
asked.
“I sure can.”
“After she eats. She didn’t get a lot in her this morning,” Dashawn said.
“Oh, honey, you gotta eat. You’ve got my grandbaby in there,” Tawny said.
Dashawn and I looked at each other and grinned. We haven’t told anyone about the twins.
“Well, we actually have some news about the pregnancy,” Dashawn said. He looked at me and
I nodded.
“What? Is everything okay?” My mom asked.

I nodded and grabbed her hand.
“Dashawn and I are having twins.”
The room erupted in cheers, cries and squeals.
“Oh, my God, I have to call your father,” my mom said.
Tawny and Rockstar came over and gave me big hugs. Butcher leaned down and kissed my
cheek.
“Thank you sweetheart. You make this old man so happy.” He then turned to Dashawn and wrapped him in a big bear hug and, to my astonishment, lifted him off his feet. I ran to the room and came back giving Butcher and Tawny their pictures of the babies.
Everyone looked over their shoulders exclaiming at the two little blips.
The next day, the family barbeque was underway. I loved watching all the families interact. I loved my parents, but this is something I wish I had growing up. All the club brothers that were here came over and congratulated Dashawn and me. Word had gotten around about the twins. Cia, Kimber, Resa and Tally were all chatting about throwing a baby shower and asked if they could also throw a gender reveal party. I said we should do both parties at once. They
pouted but then agreed.
Kong was a big hit with the brothers. He ran so much catching balls and sticks that were thrown. He passed out instantly when we got home in his dog bed.
Dashawn was so happy he took me in all the ways he wanted. That made me happy too.
The next week, I gave Ellora more auditions to go on. Davis‘ was in the studio putting an
album together. We sent a single to all the stations in New York and the surrounding states.
He was being received really well.
On Wednesday morning when I got to my desk, Dashawn and I stopped and looked at the
huge bouquet of roses that was on it.
I plucked the card and looked at it.
For the most beautiful woman I have ever seen
I looked at Dashawn, he was frowning.
“These aren’t from you, are they?”
“No. Is there a name?”
“No. I’ll throw them out. That’s kind of creepy.”

“You don’t have to,” he mumbled.
“If they aren’t from you, I don’t want them.”

He beamed at me and slammed his mouth on mine. He went to his office and I went down to
the lobby and asked one of the maintenance people to get rid of them.
“Um, do you mind if I keep them?” the man asked.
I smiled, “Got a wife?”
“A girlfriend.”
I handed him the card and he read it.
“Thank you, Ms Buchanan.”
I was shocked he knew who I was. When I asked, he said everyone knew who I was.
I smiled at him and went back upstairs. At lunch, right before Dashawn and I were about to leave for our doctor’s appointment, a delivery man with a small box came up to us.
“I have a delivery for Dashawn Krew?”
“That’s me,” Dashawn said.
He signed for it. He opened the box and another smaller one was inside. When he lifted the lid, a very beautiful gold and blue watch was inside.
“This is a Hublot. This watch is like fifty grand.”
“Is there a card?”
He looked in the other box and nodded. When he took it out his brows rose.
Soon we can be together.
“So this is definitely not from you, because we’re already together. Plus you would have given
me the watch yourself.”
I nodded.
He turned to Sandra.
“Here you go Sandra. Give this to your husband. Your anniversary is coming up, right?”
“Yes, thank you Dashawn!” She was really excited.
We made our way to his car.

“What is going on? First roses for you and now this watch?”
“I don’t know,” I said.
We were both silent on the way to the doctor’s office.
“Let’s just forget about it for now. I’m excited about seeing our babies,” he said, holding my
hand as we walked into the office.
We waited for ten minutes before we were brought back. By the time Doctor Adams got there,
I was ready for the ultrasound.
He prepped me and with a few clicks the whooshing sounds of our babies‘ heartbeats filled
the room.
I started crying with happiness. Dashawn had tears in his eyes and he was beaming.
“Everything is looking good. It looks like we have two distinct sacks. But I can’t tell yet if
there are one or two placentas, so I can’t tell you yet if you have fraternal or identical twins.
You’re still measuring just over the six–week mark. I’d like to see you at your three–month
mark. I’ll get you some pictures, and I will see you in a month and half.”
Dashawn and I couldn’t stop grinning as we looked at our pictures on the way back to the
office.
“I need to feed you. Prospect, stop at a Chick–fil–A.”
I was going to argue, but that sounded really good, so I kept quiet.

Okay I couldn’t sleep.
