Healing Gabe (The Last Hangman MC #3)(10)

Line and Ayd run towards me and jump on me. “Easy, Ladies.” I chuckle and hug them close to me.

“We missed you!” they say in unison.

“I missed you two madwomen too.” I kiss their heads.

“How have you been?” Ayd looks up at me concerned.

“I’m better thanks, Sweetheart.” I smile and kiss her head again.

“Lips off of my woman, Gabe!” Ant bellows.

“She started it by jumping on me!” I shrug and walk with them still wrapped around me. Yeah, I missed this.

“Why don’t you guys ever own up to the fact that you love us and can’t keep yourselves off of us.” Line chimes in poking my chest.

“Aleck wouldn’t beat your ass for it. However, with me, it’s a different story. He wouldn’t hesitate to kick my ass to the curb for having my lips or hands on you for a second too long.”

“Amen to that, Brother.” Aleck chuckles from behind me and man hugs me. “How are you?”

“I’m good, you?” I hug him back.

“Good as new.” He smiles.

“That’s good to hear.”

“You don’t say.” I chuckle and man hug Ant.

“Good to see you again, Brother.”

“Good to see you, too. I never thought I’d miss you guys this much.” I chuckle and sit down at the picnic table outside the compound. “So, what’s new?” I smile looking at my friends.

“We’re going to be parents…again.” They all say at the same time.

What in the actual f*ck? “What the f*ck?” I chuckle looking at them confused.

“I’m pregnant again.” Ayden beams rubbing her tummy.

“Congrats, Little One.” I smile and hug her. “Congrats, Brother.”

“Thanks,” they say at the same time.

“What about you two?” I look between Line and Aleck.

“Well, I’m pregnant. Still early though. Actually, we should have our babies within a month of each other.” They are both beaming and it warms my heart. They all really deserve happiness.

“That’s awesome. I’m happy for you all.” I smile and hug Line.

“Thanks, now it’s your turn to find your woman.” Line snickers hugging me back.

“Not going there, Line.” I glare at her but don’t have the heart to stay mad at her when I see the puppy dog eyes she’s giving me.

“I bet you anything that the next woman who steps foot into this compound will be yours, as long as you don’t push her away like this one did.” She points at Aleck. “Name your price.” She smirks, very confident.

“Hey! I had good reasons!” Aleck pouts, making Ant and I burst out laughing.

“I know but shut up, I’m trying to make a deal here. Geez, you don’t know shit!” She actually glares at him and holds her hand out to me. “So, what is it going to be, Brother?” she says clearly mocking us. God, I love her.

“You’re funny, Blondie. Wrong, but funny.”

“I’m right, you just wait and see. So…” She shakes her hand in front of me.

“Alright, if you insist. If you are right, you’ll get my 1964 Ford Thunderbird. If you’re wrong, I want your Mitsubishi Celeste. I’ve had my eyes on it since you got it a couple of weeks ago. That baby is a real hidden gem.” I smirk and shake her hand. She glares at me for mentioning her second baby.

“Deal. Get ready to lose your baby.” She winks at me and resumes her position on Aleck’s lap.

“Awfully confident there, Love.” Aleck tries not to chuckle.

“I know what I’m doing.” She shrugs. “He’s never going to get his hands on Callie.”

“You named her Callie?” I raise my eyebrow at her.

“Yes, you got problem with that?” She raises her eyebrow at me and I can’t help but laugh.

“Not at all, I’m just going to change that to a manlier name when she’s mine.”

“Not even in your wildest dreams. What did you name my future baby anyway?”

“Not gonna happen, but she’s named Annissa.”

“Lovely name, I might even keep it when she’s mine.”

“I like you, Blondie.” I smile and lean on the patio railing.

“I know.” She grins innocently.

We keep chatting for a while, keeping any club stuff out of the conversation, all just enjoying each other’s company, when Line cuts me off. “Oh, there goes your future wife.”

We all laugh and turn to look at who’s walking over and I freeze. This can’t be happening. This is a f*cking nightmare and I’m going to wake up now.

“Are you okay, Gabe?” Line appears next to me and rubs my arm.

“Fuck no, I’m not!” I almost yell at her.

“Easy, Brother,” Aleck says wrapping his arms around Line.

Ayden squeals and runs towards her. What the f*ck?

“They were best friends when we were kids. Never thought she would ever come back here that’s why I never mentioned her,” Ant says sounding defeated.

“I didn’t know she was this close to her? You’ve known her all along and you never thought it would be a good f*cking idea to mention it?” I get in his face.
