Dillon: A Wings of Diablo MC Novel Lake, B. (best new books to read TXT) 📖

When he pulls back I can see the tears ready to fall. "You scared the shit out of me woman." His voice is gruff.

I try to smile at him. "Sorry about that. Next time I’ll leave a note." I roll my eyes before I realize that he might not know about Lily. I don’t know how long I’ve been out. I don’t know how far they’ve gotten, but he has to go get her. "What are you doing here? You have to go!"

"Go where?" His face crumbles slightly.

"Lily, you need to get Lily. They took her. We need ..."

"Momma, I’m here." A small voice says and my eyes dart to the sound.

Dillon moves to the side and Lily pops her head up under his arm. "You know I had to get our baby."

I suck in huge gulps of air and try to get myself to calm down. My arms still aren’t moving the way I want them to. Dillon already knowing what I want picks Lily up and puts her on the bed next to me before he steps back so I can have time with her. I don’t even care if just that small movement is enough to feel like my bones are grinding together. I need to feel her.

"Oh, my baby ... Lily. I was so scared. Are you ok?" every other word in my sentence cracks, because it’s been so long since I’ve used my voice.

"I’m ok Momma. I was only scared a little. I knew Daddy was coming for me. I was only there for a little while. Then he came and got everyone out. Daddy always helps everyone." Lily snuggles as close as she can into my grasp as she praises her father in my ear. When I look around I don’t see Dillon in the room, but I see my father and my brother. They both have come to the edge of the bed and are smiling at me. I kiss the top of Lily’s head and hold her as tight as I can.

My father talks to me, telling me how happy he is that I’m okay. He and Sven begin talking about how they can get a home closer to his for me to stay at.

My father’s head jerks to the door and his jaw drops. I try to look past him, because I know there is very little that could surprise my father.

"Što? Ne može biti." My father’s bright gold eyes dart back to mine.

What can’t be? What is he seeing? I do my best to crane my neck even further. I finally see a small cart and a few machines attached to it.

I quickly press my hand to my midsection. Oh God. It’s the baby.

My hands fly up to my face and I cry hard. I’d thought I had lost it. I thought when those brutes beat me like that and the blood was pouring down my legs that I had lost the baby. I didn’t realize that I had become so attached to this little person.

"Keeley, you were pregnant?" Sven asks. The shock clear on his face as well. I was so ashamed of this baby that I’d done my best to hide it from everyone. When I had thought that I was starting to show too much I even demanded that I be able to live on my own outside of my father’s house so that he wouldn’t see my stomach. The only one in the world that knew I was pregnant outside of Lily was Fly.

When I get myself under control I nod my head.

"Why didn’t you say something? Why would you want to be on your own at that time when I could have helped you!" My father’s face began to take on a bright red hue. He was pissed.

"I didn’t want to face up to it. I didn’t know if I was going to keep it … I don’t know if it’s-"

Dillon cuts me off immediately, "We do know. That is my baby. Our son." He glares down at me and I expect to see some anger. Instead, though I see nothing but love and adoration.

"Son? It’s a boy."

"Oh, Mom look! MC is here!" Lily hops off the bed and rushes around to where her little brother is. "Can I hold him? Please … Please!" She hops from foot to foot, but the nurse behind Dillon shakes her head no.

"I’m sorry, he is still a bit weak. I’m sure in a few more days we’ll be able to take him out for you." She tries to appease my little girl. "You can touch him through here though, but you have to be super gentle."

I watch as she shows Lily the hole where she can put her hand through. I reach with all my strength and finally manage to turn over to my side and get my hand through the hole. His skin feels so thin, but I swear it feels like the second I touch him he turns in my direction and his little heart rate speeds up even more. This is my son.

"Oh Dillon, he’s gorgeous."

Dillon smiles big, "Yes he is, you did such a good fucking job." His voice is thick with emotion.

"MC, you can have the small room now that you’re here. I get the bigger room, because I’m the big sister. That’s just how things are. I know it’s a lot of rules, but I’ll show you what to do, don’t worry." Lily stands close to the cart and talks to the little baby as if she’s spoken with him her whole life.

Dillon stares down at him and even my father and brother are mesmerized as well. I can’t believe that I was ready to give this little one up. I move my finger to his hand and he grips me tightly. "Don’t worry little one, I’m never going to let you go." Tears are still rolling down my cheeks in small rivers, but now instead of hurt
