Chapter 4

Riff

The snow picked up a lot since we dropped Trip and Holly off at the tiny hospital in Wheeling, West Virginia. Thank God we made in time. If Holly didn't get drugs soon for the pain, I'm pretty sure she would've ripped Trip's dick off.

The closest place Tyke could find for us to stay for the next couple of days was about forty minutes outside of town. The trip had been slow on this over-sized bus winding down these dark country roads on these snow covered roads and we're all anxious to get off this cramped tin can. I'll never bitch again about the money we spend on getting tour buses for each one of us and our families. There's no way we'd all survive being on the road long-term like this.

I check my GPS. We're coming up on the address of the house Tyke rented for us.

"The house should be right around this corner, Roy," I tell the driver.

High-beam headlights of the bus shine on a mailbox with the street numbers 1356 on stuck on the side.

"I can't turn this bus into that driveway. It is impossible to tell where the drive ends and the grass begins with all this snow on the ground. I don't want to take the chance of getting stuck and causing us an even bigger mess," the driver tells me.

"Shit." I sigh, knowing he's right. "The girls aren't going to like this. Let me go tell them to bundle the kids up."

His lips pull into a tight line. "Good luck."

I turn around and when Kitten spots me, she frowns. "I don't like that look. What's wrong?"

"The bus isn't going to make the turn into the drive, so it looks like we're going to go on foot from here."

"How far up is the house?"

I shrug. "Not sure. I couldn't spot the house for all the trees, but I'm hoping not too much further."

"I don't want the kids trudging through the snow. The temperature is freezing out. And I'm not really in any condition to carry one of them myself."

Noel pushes himself out of the chair. "Don't sweat it, Aubrey. I'll help carry them. Riff and I can manage."

I nod at Noel. "Thanks, brother." I turn back to my wife. "We got this."

Kitten nods and gives me a little smile. She's a little disappointed not having Christmas at home like she planned this year with the kids, but I she doesn't want to miss getting to meet Holly and Tyke's baby when she comes into this world.
