Chapter 13

Four days later Bronwyn and the team were still waiting.

“Just for a few hours, Hollywood, please. I’m going crazy sitting around here day after day,” Bronwyn was saying as they sat around the pool after lunch.

“Careful, honey,” Hollywood teased. “I do believe you’re dangerously close to whining. Whining is very unattractive on a woman.”

Bronwyn scowled at him briefly before turning to Preacher. “Oh, no you don’t Julliard. You know the rules. You leave this house only if it’s absolutely necessary.”

“Then I think it’s time to reevaluate the rules. Things have changed.”

Preacher nodded, as if considering. “You have a point there.” He looked over at Poet who was sitting in the cool shallows of the pool. “Maybe we should rethink it.”

It was Poet’s turn to contemplate. It didn’t take him long to decide. “I’ll run it by Vincent the next time he calls.”

“Well gee, thanks Poet,” Bronwyn groaned. “I’m sure that will help the situation tremendously.”

“You’re welcome, Julliard. Anything I can do to help. Anything at all,” he answered sweetly.

Bronwyn’s response was cut short when her phone rang. “Just remember, Poet,” she said as she answered and asked the caller to wait, “Sometimes karma is swift and ugly.” With that said, she turned her back on the men, “Hey sis. What’s up?”

Preacher watched her for a minute, as she stood exposed. Her voice and body language were animated and he could hear the love she had for her sister in every word. She hadn’t even thought about it as she turned her back to them even though she wore nothing more than small black swim shorts and a red bikini top. Both her scars and her tattoo were clearly visible in the bright afternoon sun. She had come so far in the last four days. He desperately wished Vincent could see her like this. “Did you tell her that Vincent was expected later today?” he asked of Poet.

“No.”

“No?”

“I thought it might be interesting for her to be caught by surprise. Don’t you think? She won’t have time to put up her walls.”

“Jesus man,” started Caveman and then Bronwyn screamed. Before she could make another sound all four men were standing and alert. She didn’t see them as she began to jump up and down excitedly.

“Oh my goodness, Laura! This is fabulous! I can’t believe this. I am so happy for you!” She turned then to see the men still standing and realized immediately what had happened. “We have to celebrate. Tonight! Dinner. Here at the house. Okay? Six o’clock. I can’t wait! I love you! Congratulations! I’m sorry,” she was saying as she hurried to the men. “I didn’t think. I was just excited. I didn’t mean to startle you.”

“Occupational hazard,” Caveman stated matter-of-factly. “It happens.”

“So what’s the good news?” asked Hollywood.

“Laura’s pregnant!” screamed Bronwyn. She was shaking with excitement. “I can’t believe this! We’re going to have a baby! Isn’t that great?” She laughed enthusiastically. “So tonight, we celebrate! I’m thinking outdoors, here by the pool. I told Laura six, so that gives us five hours to get everything ready.
