"Bodies"

I hated walking away from Nova but I need to talk to my men about what happened. We need to make sure nothing falls back on us. I have to keep my club safe.

Walking into the room we use for church. I see all my men standing around talking to each other. I've created this. A club where we are there for each other.

I walk over to my desk and sit down. All the men follow along with me. I take my gavel and hit it twice. All the men settle in silence. "Okay brothers. We need to go over what happened."

"We've taken care of clean up. Gear's and I. Nothing has been left behind." Cash says as Gears nods his head. "The bodies have been disposed of and they won't be found."

That one thing I wont have to worry about. Cash and Gears are good at getting rid of problems. "Ok, and the police. Have any of you heard anything come up about anyone missing?"

Vice raises his hand to speak. "I've looked into some stuff on Cash's computer with him. Nothing has come up about any missing persons."

"Great." I state. Everything seems to be falling into line with no issues. "Now about Nova's mom. Who was the one to find her?" Vice coughs and I know it was him.

"I found her Prez. Though she was gone before any of us could do anything. Some of the members were easy to rat her out about what she did." Sounds right. They were a shitty cub. "How's Nova doing?"

"Nova's doing okay. She hasn't brought up much about what had happened. Not her mother or what they did to her. I'm not going to force it out of her." I would never do that to her.

"Nova's bloodwork has all come back fine and she's healing beautifully. She seems to be okay mentally. She wasn't really worried about herself. Just Axel and the shop." Saint says clearing the air.

All my men nod their heads and are happy with how she's healing. "I never got to thank you for saving my ol' lady. This should have never happened but I'm glad I had all of you behind me."

"You never ever have to thank us for anything. You're the president of the club but not only that, your family. You mean something to all of us." Tiny says as he gets up and walks over to me.

I stand up and meet him and we embrace in a hug. All my men start clapping. "You will always be important to us. Nova is important to us too. She's family and we take care of our family." Vice says.

"Axel and Nova are ready to go back to work but I told them they need at least two weeks off before then." My men all seem to agree and that settles it. "Meeting over."

We all walk out of church and I hear laughing coming from the kitchen. It's Nova and all three prospects. "How was the movie?" Axel walks up and answers for Nova.

"It was funny. She picked a rom-com about a snowman." A movie about a snowman. What in the world? Nova would pick a movie like that.

"A snow man huh? I didn't know you were into snowmen. Should I be worried?" I ask joking around with her. Her face heats and she looks at me with a grin.

"It was just a movie. I did tell Axel that I had someone better than Jack." Nova says and that makes everything inside me catch fire. I lean in to kiss her.

"I'd sure hope so." I smile. "Come on, let's get you some more rest. I think you've had enough excitement for one night."

"Axel, thanks for watching a movie with me." Nova says. He's a good kid and I love that they have a connection. It's different from ours but it doesn't piss me off as much anymore.

Axel comes in for a hug and I wait for the jealousy to rage inside me but it doesn't come. I know she needs him. Just like she needs me. "No problem. I'm always up for a movie with you. I can't wait for us to get back to normal." Axel says.

I reach out and put Nova into my arms. Walking down to my room. I have the biggest room on the bottom floor with my own shower. I need to get something bigger for the both of us.

"I can walk, you know." I say nothing to her, just look deep into her eyes and give her a small kiss. "I love you Madz." She snuggles into my chest and closes her eyes.

I get into my bedroom and shut my door. I set Nova down on the bed and she opened one eye. "Do you think we could cuddle and watch something? I'm tired but I want something in the background."

"You should know by now I'd do anything for you." I'm serious. If she asked me to jump into a fire I would. Anything this woman could ask for it's hers. "What do you want to watch?"

She seems to think for a minute and then grabs the remote from my hands. She opens up Netflix and turns on 'The Great British Baking Show'. I guess even when she's down she's all for new ideas.

"Do you ever take a baking break?" She giggles at my side and lays her head on my chest.

"No, never. I need to keep on top of things so I have happy customers." She's not wrong but I wish she would take some time to herself. I guess she does in a way.

Baking seems to be the one of the things in her life that makes her happy. And I'm okay with that. "I'll just have to make sure you're well taken care of then, huh?"

She giggles again and she shhh's me. I guess it's time to sit back and relax. After an episode or two I notice Nova is asleep. I nod off as well.

I hear my phone ding and I silence it so Nova doesn't hear it. I have a text from my mom. 'Hope everything is okay. We have a family dinner planned for next week. Bring all the boys and Nova.'

I didn't give my mom full details on what happened but I did tell her that everything is okay now. I reply back 'Okay, I'll make sure everyone brings something. I know Nova will go all out.'

I'm so glad my mom likes Nova and Eleanor as well. That's all she's talked about with mom is Nova. 'When can she see her again? What is she baking today?'

Nova fits right in with everyone. One day she will have a special connection with everyone and that is all I could ever ask for. I grab the remote and turn off the tv.

Nova rolls over and her face meets mine. Her bruises are starting to yellow and she's fixed her hair since the incident. That was the one thing that hurt her the most was her hair.

But she looks beautiful to me. Nothing could stop my love for her. I move some hair out of her face and she mumbles something. "I love you." Nova says.

"I love you Nova and one day I'll marry you. I'll give you everything you deserve and you'll never be alone again. Our family will expand one day." I smile at that.

A family with Nova is all I dream about. A little girl with her eyes and a boy with all her sparks. One day we will walk down that road together but for now I just want to have her to myself.

Nova leans into my shoulder and I cover her up and tuck her in. I lay my head on hers and fall asleep to the thought of a long life with Nova. She embodies my dreams and I wont ever let that go.
