“What the fuck were you two thinking?”he asked, turning his attention to herself and then Nancy.
Maeve looked toward Nancy.“Keeping Charlotte and Eden safe,” she said.
He shook his head.“You fucking scared me.”
Nancy let out a smile.“Don’t worry, hotshot, I would have taken a bullet for your woman.It’s the least I owe you.”
Maeve smiled and looked toward Doc.
“I’m going to see if I can help,” Charlotte said.“Love you, Dad.”She moved away as did Nancy.
“What’s going to happen now?”Maeve asked.
“We’re going to repair the new window and fix all the damage to Kristin’s shop.”
“You fucking better.This is bad for business, Doc,” Kristin said.
“I mean about Hilary?”Maeve asked.
“Sheriff Hayes will handle her, and with regard to the rest, you don’t want to know,” Doc said.“She brought drugs into town.She put your life, Charlotte’s, Eden’s, and Nancy’s life at risk.She’ll be taken care of.”
Maeve looked at him, and she wasn’t afraid.He knew what he was doing, and she went onto her tiptoes and kissed him.She loved him for taking care of everything.
“Why were Savage and Mac in the car?”Maeve asked.
“They had started to lose their patience.Razor and I are better shots.We were close to the shop and ready to take her out if she started to shoot.”
He kissed the top her head and she looked toward Charlotte, who was hugging her mother.She then turned her attention to Mac.He was standing with Eden and Razor, checking in with them.
Turning her attention to Savage, he was staring intently at Charlotte.Before she could even wonder what that meant, Doc was pulling her out of the shop.Sheriff Hayes was in control and the two men nodded at each other.
“Where are we going?”Maeve asked.
“To grab coffee and a donut, then I’m taking you home so we can fuck and make this baby.”
Epilogue
Five Years Later
“Play nice,” Maeve said, handing Doc their firstborn son, Andrew.
Doc turned his attention to her, and he didn’t look happy.Charlotte and her man were just across the parking lot.
“I always play nice.”
Maeve tried not to wince.That wasn’t exactly true.Charlotte and Savage had caused a whole lot of drama between the club, or more importantly, between Doc and Savage.Their secret affair had been exposed, and it was the first time Maeve had really appreciated that Nancy hadn't left, otherwise there was a chance Doc could have killed the man.It had been tense.She and Nancy guarded him around the clock.
Maeve grabbed Doc’s chin and forced her husband to look at her.“I’m right here.”
“I’m fine.He better be treating her right.”
“You better start treating me right,” she said, giving him a warning look.
He kissed Andrew on the cheek.“How are you feeling?”
“I’m tired, but that is to be expected.”She rubbed her swollen stomach.
“Mommy!”She turned to see Nancy coming out of the clubhouse, carrying her second child.
