I glare at him. “If you don’t shut up, I will break another rib. I’m sure they’d need to stick you with another needle too.”
“Uh-huh. So now you see I’m fine. The real question is how is my baby?”
I wince. “Pretty beat up. I had the prospect load it up on the trailer and take it to the shop. Rex is working on getting the parts for it now.”
Happy growls. “I don’t want him touching it.”
I hold up my hands. “Easy, big guy. He’s only getting the parts here so you can fix it your goddamn self. Chill.”
A knock at the door has me turning. A pretty young nurse walks in.
“Sorry, you have a visitor at the front desk. Penelope?”
His expression lightens. “She can come back and he can go.”
“Whatever, man. I’ll come back and pick your grumpy ass up when they discharge you.”
“Send the prospect. He’s easier to deal with.”
I chuckle. “Which is why I’ll be here. If you aren’t careful, I’ll send Savage.”
I ignore his cursing as I leave the room. Walking down the hall, I smile at Penelope as she walks by, flowers in her hand. I don’t stop to chat, though. No. She seemed determined to get to Happy.
I don’t know what is going on with the two of them, but he’s made it known her shop is protected.
Leaving that drama behind, I head up to the labor and delivery floor. Stopping outside the locked doors, I press the buzzer.
“Yes,” a polite, feminine voice calls.
“I’m here to see Sami. It’s Loyal.”
The woman doesn’t respond, but Sami comes through the doors a few moments later.
“Is he okay?” she asks.
“He will be. I’m going to head out until he’s discharged. I just wanted to see your pretty face before I go.”
She rolls her eyes before she leans into me. Pressing a quick kiss to my lips, she peers up at me under her lashes.
“I’m glad he is okay, and I am happy to have you visit me at work, but next time can it not be when you are covered in your friend’s blood?”
I snort. “I make no promises.”
“Get out of here. I have a mom about to be at the pushing stage. I will see you later?” she asks.
“You can’t keep me away,” I growl before nuzzling her neck.
I wait for her to go back through the doors before I finally turn away. Pulling my phone from my pocket, I shoot off a quick text to Savage letting him know the status of Happy.
Then I head out.
I’m grateful that Happy is okay and that this was an accident and not related to the club because if Sami knew the truth of our club, it might send her running.
I’m not sure I would be able to let her get far.
I’m finishing up some paperwork when Gina walks up.
“Hey, you busy?” she asks right as I hit save.
