It's almost midnight and the party is finally over. Stephen and Jess left a little while ago, while Jer, Maverick, and Freddie decided to enjoy the festivities and drink more alcohol than necessary.

"Mav, Freddie, do either of you need a lift home?" I ask as I reach for my cell.

I had planned on going home when Stephen and Jess left, but Ma persuaded me to stay a little longer. She's enjoying having the house to herself—what she actually means is that she likes the alone time with Shay. As I know my son is safe, I stayed. Now, I'm wanting to go home, snuggle with my son, and go to sleep. Tomorrow is going to be an emotionally charged day and there's no way I can do it without getting some sleep.

I'm worried about what Raptor's going to say. He's going to be angry. I get that and I'm expecting it. I fucked up, majorly, by not telling him about Shay, but I'm hoping he'll be interested in getting to know his son.

"Yes," Mav slurs. "Although, we should be the ones bringing you home," he says as he gets to his feet. "Why didn't you tell any of us what the fuck was happening?"

I shrug, feeling self conscious. "I didn't tell anyone."

"Stupid," Freddie says as he downs the last of his whiskey. "So stupid."

"Shut up, Freddie," Maverick hisses, before turning back to me. "You should have told Jess or Chloe. They'd have told us and we'd have helped."

"Both Chloe and Jess have been through enough pain and suffering. Telling them about me would only add to it. So no, neither of them are ever going to know the full extent of what's going on."

"You women," Jer says, shaking his head. "You need to tell us when you're in danger. How the fuck are we supposed to help?"

"I'm in danger because Stephen killed a man. Want to tell me how the fuck that's fair?" I ask, my anger getting the best of me right now. "How is it fair that I'm the one who’s been targeted? I have a three-month-old son who can't leave the house because I'm terrified Micah's going to hurt him."

Silence spreads around the room, and I know they finally understand why I've been hiding. Maverick pulls me into a hug. "The next time that fucker surfaces, you call us, Mal. You call any of us and we'll be there."

"Exactly," Jer says. "Now, why don't you move in here?" he asks. "You'll be safe. The house is guarded and no one can get in or out without my say so."

"Tomorrow, I'm going to the Fury Viper compound. If Raptor won't help with Shay, then I may take you up on that offer."

"Wait," Maverick says, his eyes widening. "Raptor's Shay's dad?"

I nod. "He is."

"Fuck me," Mav says. "That's news to me. What the hell is with the women in my life?" he muses. "None of you can go for guys your own age."

I laugh because he's not wrong. His sister, Callie, is married to a man twenty years her senior.
