The Biker's Baby (Royal Bastards MC: Charleston, WV 10)

Epilogue
“Stand side by side.” I shake my head as Pam bosses Andrea and me around trying to compare the size of our baby bumps.
“I think mine is bigger.” Crawl let’s out a belch and lifts his shirt exposing his beer gut as he shoves between us to get in the picture.
“You’re ruining my shot,” Kimber, Zoe’s daughter barks, shooting him an evil eye. “I want this one for the wall.” She snaps the picture anyways. Her and Navarro got back from their trip about a week ago. They went cross country on his bike exploring national parks and visiting some of the other clubhouses of the other Royal Bastards MC chapters. Her pictures from the trip were so amazing Murder hired her to take some new ones for a wall in the clubhouse and she takes the job seriously. The girl is talented though. I was afraid she’d be weird toward me because of her mom dating Hound before we got back together but she’s been totally cool with me.
My man and my brother join in on the posing. Hound kneels on one knee and kisses my belly. Torsten or as everyone else calls my brother Viking wraps an arm around Andrea’s shoulder and kisses her temple.
Hound grins at me with this sneaky twinkle in his eye. “Let me see your hand, darlin’.”
“Why?” I stick my right hand out.
“Give me your left.”
Kimber smiles big at me, her strawberry red hair glows under the sunlight as Navarro moves in. I look around and everyone seems to have stopped what they were doing to watch us. Even Murder is interested in the scene.
“Why are you being all weird?”
Hound doesn’t answer my question. He simply grabs my left hand and talks over me. “You’ve got my ink on your skin.” He rubs a finger over his name on my inner left wrist. “My baby in your belly.” He kisses my baby bump again. “Now I think it’s time you wear my ring on your finger.” He slides a silver band on my left ring finger.
I swallow and nod profusely.
Murder gives me a nod of his chin in approval as Hound stands up.
My rough biker pulls me in as close as he can with my bulging belly protruding between us. “Love you, Astrid.” He gets a quick kiss in before everyone starts crowding around to congratulate us.
Bianca gives me a hug. “I’m really happy for you.” I know she is, but I can glimpse the edge of sadness hiding behind her gaze. Sandman hasn’t gotten off his ass and popped the question yet.
I’m afraid if he doesn’t lock things down with her soon, she’ll drop him like a bad habit.
I’m going to kick his ass if he hurts her.
I think we all might.
My brother gives Hound a fist bump.
They are always trying to one up each other. Viking didn’t even ask Andrea to marry him either. He basically shoved a ring on her finger and told her they were getting married, and they did the same day.
I told Hound we’re waiting till the baby is born. Well Pam actually told him. She still pouting over the fact she didn’t get to throw a proper wedding for my brother.
The woman lives for her parties.
And I live to make Hound happy.
I smile at him as our baby kicks from the womb. I haven’t told him yet but we’re having a boy.
