Welcome to Gaia! ::

"No. I wanted us to meet our son for the first time together." Orion gave her hand a little squeeze. He smiled at Grace.
"Thomas is stuffy, but then again....not everyone can have such a cool name like Orion. Someone has to be a Derek after all." He kissed her forehead.
"Whatever you want to name him is fine. Really I just want him to be healthy. That is all I care about. His health, and your health." Orion pulled out the paperwork and showed Grace. It was the paperwork the nurse wanted him to fill out.
"The baby's paperwork. Oh...your brother is here....waiting to see you..." Orion did not want Derek here, but that was not his decision to make. At least not right now. He was not budging on the Reapers staying out of Shadow Creek, he just was not going to put that into effect while Grace was in the hospital. That would not be right. It would really only upset her.

I have the answer
I can take the pressure
I will turn it all around

"Ben made another appearance. Insisted I ride home with him and pretty much told me he knows I have associated with two MCs in the past. He knew about both you and Devil. Knows I am related to Orion. I mean that isn't a secret, but it isn't something either of us broadcast publicly either. I definitely don't talk about Devil and that mess. You and I were pretty much on the DL, so I am really worried about how he is getting this information. I didn't tell him where I lived. He drove me to my place without me saying a word." Cadence paused as she thought about what she was about to say.
"He showed me a tattoo, I have seen it before in passing. On yhis guy's cut. Ben admitted he is with an MC. I didn't ask which. Sorry, I started freaking and was trying to get away from him." She sat up as she heard meowing. Poor Fatty! She had forgot all about him in her panic.

She left the gun on her bed and pulled her nightstand away from the door a bit. Enough to crack the door some so Fatty could get in. Once he was in she pushed everything back into place. She started her music. She put on music that brought along happier memories with feelings of being protected and adored. Some of the only positive memories she had of her father were tied into music. Mainly Creedance Clearwater Revival, her father's favorite.
"I am worried he will fire me." Cadence admitted as she pet her fat cat.

Dylan Fleishman

After The MC's of Shadow Creek and Greensville had raided the warehouse, even set the damn basement on fire after finding the tattoo artist Brenan had taken, Dylan had just been biding his time. Of course he had had a doctor on retainer, and had called the man to take out the bullet in his leg and stitch the wound up from the shot of that Angel. Staying mostly at the cabin he had bought just on the outside of the towns, opposite where the warehouse was, He had helped the outcasts regroup once again, getting them something to make money off of and a place in the town over to stay.Brenan he knew was still on a vengeful hook for that woman, in a way Dylan understood the feeling.

However instead of pursuing Lyn further in the last few months, Dylan had been working up his own trade. Collecting dealers, as well as creating them, in the surrounding towns. His patience had paid off when the dealers in Greensville came to him once they found their previous dealers had been .... well deposed of by the outcast group. A few of course he had approached, then the remaining had flocked. It was only a matter of time until those in Shadow Creek followed suit.

He had been even luckier when one dealer in Greensville contacted him about a very particular customer in the last few weeks. One he was most interested in. One that would certainly turn the tables in his favor. In fact even his patience had rewarded him. A smile crossed his lips. The games were just about to begin, and this time he would get his prize.

After giving the cocaine a few minutes to go through his system, Dereck looked at himself in the mirror and grinned. There he was. His eyes were clear as day, the fatigue he had been feeling was replaced by a seemingly endless amount of energy. Not to mention the fact that he just felt 100x better. After splashing some water on his face he walked out of the bathroom, and caught sight of Lyn. "Come on, let's go see my nephew." Before she could agree he made his way down the hall, and found one of her nurses. After he announced that he was Grace's brother, and wanted to see the baby, she led him upstairs and to the NICU, where he had to remain outside of the room to look at the baby. Only parents and authorized staff were allowed inside of the room.

Killian straightened up and strolled over to Derek. "You should go wait to see your sister. She no doubt would love to see you. She has just been through a very scary situation." Killian was trying to be nice, and keep the peace. He also felt like Derek should wait to see the baby. After all his parents had not even seen him yet. He glanced toward the baby, then looked away.
"Grace must be going nuts. Knowing he is in the hospital and she hasn't got to see him just yet." Killian didn't have children, but he was sure if he had a child, and the child had been rushed away before he could see said child, and given very little positive news he would be going crazy. He would probably be raising hell to be honest.

Feel weak, and when you feel weak,
you feel like you wanna just give up

"He...he kissed me. That was it. I told him to leave, and he saw I was upset and left." Cadence had not wanted to tell Jasper about the kiss but she did not want to lie to him either. He specifically asked if he tried anything, a kiss counts as something.
"Benjamin Drayton, I have no clue if he goes by something else within his MC. I am sure he does."
"A crown....oh. I remember their name. I remember I thought it sound like a cool band's name. Kings of Rebellion." Cadence paused and sighed.
"I know he doesn't have a reason to fire me, doesn't mean he won't try. Won't claim I lied or did something wrong. Especially since he thinks I am running with the Angels. He saw me with you, he saw me with Killian. He could claim he fears gang violence because I hang out with known gang members. Since the MC falls under a gang category."

Cadie sat up again, she was feeling anxious again. Worried about her job. Her safety currently she did not fear. If he or anyone else tried to get in right now, they would get shot. She had her gun ready and waiting. Her job was the one way he could hurt her, and there would be nothing she could do about it.

Just thinking about how helpless she would be if he attempted to start crap at work made her heart pound. She grunted in annoyance when she heard her text alert while she was on the phone.
"Jasp, hold on. I got a text." She smiled once she saw what the text was. Killian had took a pic of the baby. It broke her heart for a couple of different reasons, but it also made her happy. Grace wanted a baby, and she deserved that one thing that would make her happy in life. After all her life would be messy everywhere else because of who her husband was.
"It was Killian. He sent me a pic of the baby. Not a great picture, but it was still nice of him." Cadie paused and took a peek at her phone after she heard the sound again. She assumed it was Killian again but she was wrong. It was Benjamin. She clicked on the text and read through it.

He was apologizing for scaring her and coming on strong. Her eyes narrowed as she read the next part. He wanted her to meet him so they could talk. In public and just for a cup of coffee. She responded with a quick text.
'No, I don't think so. I am going to bed.' She hit send and apologized to Jasper."Sorry. That was Ben....apologizing....for coming on so strong and scaring me."

When Killian moved closer, reminding them that Grace hadn't even seen her baby yet, Maralyn moved away from the window towards the opposite wall. He was certainly right. Grace and Orion had the right to see their baby first. But yet Dereck had been adamant to see him. Even if she hadn't followed, he would have come here. And then who knew what would have ensued. Lyn placed a hand on his shoulder, "Come on, he's right Dereck. Let's go back to the waiting room."As she started to walk down the hall, she noticed Grace and Orion coming down the hall. So Lyn moved to the opposite side of the wall as she waited for Dereck. She didn't know if he'd let his sister have some peace to see the baby, or was going to try and apologize now. .
