“I stand here today a lucky man I have the most beautiful women by my side and a family who have loved me for me, my blood relatives and I raise my glasses to my Grandma, Aunts, Uncles and Cousins and to my adoptive family. I raise my glass to everyone else, I remember on my fifteenth birthday my mom told me to make a wish for my birthday and she asked me what it was but my Grandma being the smart women that she is said if I told it wouldn't come true but that wish did come true. I wished to be a Devils Soldier and I stand here today a proud member with all of you brothers standing by me on one of the most important days of my life with the women who is carrying my child and who is now my life partner, I'm a blessed man to have you all so I make this toast to you all for being there for me so I raise my glass to the Devils Soldiers and my family”
“TO THE DEVILS SOLDIERS” I watch Niya stand with her perfect round belly and I reach out and rub it****Niya“I know I haven't known you all that long but I've fallen in love with you all, I don't have any blood family left in this world but I have wonderful people who have taken me in and call me a daughter. I raise my glass to Maggie and Razor, I also have amazing Uncles, Aunts and friends and I raise my glass to them all and I have brothers I raise my glass to Cuff, Socket and Stryker and to my husband’s wonderful family who I can now call my own. I thank you for raising such an amazing man who is my soul mate and I raise my glass to Colt’s family, I hope to make you all proud and I am grateful every day since you freed me from my horrible life I lived before I came to you, so to my new family I love you all TO THE DEVILS SOLDIERS” I raise my glass again and Colt stands and kisses me. We dance, we eat, we drink and we party, I've danced with every member tonight Colt not happy when Cuff kept wanting to dance, Maggie and the girls all having fun it was a sight to see all of my new family and friends enjoying themselves, when Colt comes up behind me“Time to go baby”We'd booked a weekend away because I couldn't fly being pregnant and Razor almost having a heart attack because he'd heard a story about a woman giving birth on a plane and the baby dyeing so the weekend away was going to be fine until the baby was born. We make our way into the house and get our bags while everyone makes their way to the front of the house and for our send off.As we get into Colt's truck the sounds of the bikes starting up echoes through the silent night one by one they start and the roar of the engines gets louder and louder, we slowly move down the drive and the roar is so deafening everyone revving as we pass. I laugh as the guys smile and all of the girl’s wave goodbye I laugh as we pass them Colt grabbing my hand smiling. My new family may scare the shit out of everyone they come in contact with, but to me there all my hero's my saviors and I love them all.Chapter SeventeenZoeyWhen I woke this morning, my eyes were drawn to the outside window, the sun was shining and the birds chirping and there wasn't a cloud in the sky and I smiled. For that brief moment of time I forget until my brain kicks in and I remembered today is the day I bury my mother, my heart aches with the pain of her not being here anymore. Over the past week Mrs. Duggar, Mrs. Bray and her daughter Tanya have helped me clean out the house I have lived in all of my life, walking into my mother’s room was the hardest. Going through her belongings, her perfume clinging to her clothes, her jewelry her shoes every picture is a reminder I'm never going to talk to her again. I feel numb my heart aching with every breath, I'm surrounded by her friends and I feel totally alone staring at my mother’s casket I feel like I'm under water everything's muffled people are speaking but I just can't seem to understand them, until I hear Mrs. Duggar speak and I look up and she's standing next to Father Jonas“I only knew Rana for a few months when Zoey's case landed on my desk and when I meet this woman, I found a woman who even though she was fighting Cancer not knowing if she was going to die she made me feel better comforting me. She was a light in a world where darkness lurks, she was a beautiful woman inside and out, a soul that draws you to her. She made me promise that I would read this poem today while all her friends and her beautiful daughter was here”
