"Prep surgery. I need an Internal Trauma doctor, Brain Trauma Doctor, and a Gynecologist on standby. The family room needs to be cleared because the MC will be there shortly." Thorpe tells Sis.
I wonder why he asks for a Gynecologist. I look at her and it is then that I see her pants aren't completely around her hips. They're undone and the buttons look like they were ripped off. An anguished cry leaves my mouth realizing my woman was put through even more hell than she lead us to believe. Zeus realizes then what it is I'm seeing. He shakes his head trying not to believe his brother would do that to his little girl. He gives a soul crippling cry and tears pour down his face.
"If he wasn't fucking dead already, I would fucking keep him on the brink of awareness and torture him!" Zeus says to nobody in particular.
We land about five minutes later and I see the gurney and three nurses along with another doctor waiting for my woman. As soon as the medic has the door open there's so much activity going on around her it's unbelievable. They run her into the building with Zeus and I following behind them.
Hound must have called Jess because we haven't been here minutes when she and Ellie come running through the door. They take a look at Zeus and then at me and see that we've both been crying. Zeus is still on the verge and Ellie starts shaking her head crying.
"Where is she? Is she okay?" Jess asks us.
"She's back in surgery. We don't know anything yet." Zeus responds with tears in his eyes.
"It looks like Pete raped my little girl momma." He says to his momma.
Ellie gasps and Jess start sobbing.
"My little girl killed him. She killed him trying to get away after he raped her."
I know Ellie has to be hurting on some level. Pete was her son but I'm glad that sick fuck is dead.
"Who has my babies?" I ask as I'm pacing and trying to dry my tears.
"They're at the clubhouse. They are being looked after by Leelee and Legs. All the other old ladies are there also to help." Jess tells me.
I shake my head okay. I'm grateful she didn't bring them here with her. I see that they did bring a prospect with them. All I want to do is go back to that cabin and revive him just so that I can kill him all over again. I'm proud of my woman for killing his fucking ass even if she didn't realize she did. I know the cops will be showing up soon. and I don't have the patience or the energy to deal with them right now. I know Zeus sure as fuck doesn't have it in him either. When Hound gets here and I'll ask him to deal with the cops.
All the brothers are here with most of their old ladies waiting for word on my woman. Captain's holding Ellie in one arm and Zeus in his other. She's been in surgery for almost four hours. Just as I'm about to go insane I see Nic and Thorpe come out of the surgery doors.
"Her Spleen ruptured and we had to remove it. She has a collapsed lung and a Sternal Fracture. She has nine broken ribs, a broken arm, a fractured Femur Bone, and has Swelling on her Brain. She also had to have ten stitches between her vagina and anus." Thorpe explain to us.
I've got tears running down my face and I feel like I could die from my heart hurting for everything my woman's been through.
"She's in ICU. She's in a chemical induced coma. The doctors will keep her that way for a couple of days. They'll start to wean her off the medication as the swelling goes down. There's one more thing I need to tell you. I need you to look at me." Nic says to me.
I open my eyes and I look at my sister.
"Lyric's pregnant brother. She's six or seven weeks along."
I drop to my knees and Zeus comes to me and wraps his arms around me.
"Our girl's strong. She survived and she's still fighting to come back to us. This baby's still alive and if god willing will be okay also."
I clear my throat and ask about the baby.
"With lyric being completely on bed rest for the next couple of months the baby has a fighting chance. The babies on a monitor and will be until Lyric gets out of the hospital. Lyric's not bleeding from her uterus and that's a great sign." She tells me.
She comes up and hugs me and tells me that they'll come get us when they get her in the room.
Chapter 34
Titan
It's been a month since Lyric was brought in. I ask every day when I get here if there's been a change and the nurses tell me every day that there's nothing new to report. I'm slowly starting to lose hope of her coming back to me. The first week I didn't leave the hospital at all. The second week I knew I had to get back on a schedule for the twins. They come and see her after school and tell her about their day. Then we go home and I feed, bath, and read to them like she did. I cuddle them both and let them know that their momma's really tired. She'll wake up when she's no longer sleepy. They say okay but they want her to hurry up and wake up. I tell them good night and I love them. Zeus has been hanging around in the evenings. I realize he needs us as much as we need him. Tonight he stops over with Hound.
"What's going on?" I ask them both.
"They found Ali in the woods. Some hunters found her late yesterday. It looks like she was killed a while ago probably by Pete." Hound tells me.
I feel the weight lift off me knowing that she's no longer a threat to my woman. I know Zeus feels the exact same way.
"Lyric won't be charged with any crime. Marley is looking at a couple of Class A and Class B Felonies. She'll be in prison for a solid twenty-five years." Hound also explains.
I'm happy knowing she's going away for what she helped do to my woman. That bitch is getting what she deserves. I still wish that Pete and Ali had died by my hands. I'm proud of how strong my old lady is. She fought Pete and won. I just wish she would wake up now. Our baby in her stomach is doing well and they say both my woman's healing on schedule and the baby's out of the danger zone. I'm happy that she's healing and she doesn't feel pain but at the same time I want to hear her voice and see her eyes.
"How's my woman doing today?" I ask as I'm walking into the wing of the hospital after my business meeting and see her nurse.
"Lyric made a moan about an hour ago. She may be coming out of her coma, but don't get your hopes up yet." She explains.
I step into my woman's room. I give her a kiss and lay a kiss on her stomach. I tell our baby that their daddy's here. I sit down in the chair next to Lyric and take her hand.
"Hound stopped by last night baby. You never have to worry about Ali or Pete again. You're safe and can wake up now. The twins miss you baby. Your dad and grandparents will be here after they pick the kids up from school. We all miss you and want you to come back to us." I say to her with emotions clogging my throat.
I tell her about my day and that when me and the twins leave this evening; I'm going to attempt to make the crispy ranch chicken just like she made. I lay my head on her stomach and wrap my arms loosely around her. I talk to my baby that's growing inside of my women's womb and tell it that I will love and take care of it.
"You're one of my wishes come true. I wanted to see you grow in your momma's tummy."
I feel a slight shift. I think I might have imagined it until I feel her hand in my hair. I sit up and turn my head towards her.
"Baby keep your eyes closed for a minute." I say to her.
She tries to tell me she's thirsty.
"I'll get a nurse to get some ice chips."
I close the blinds and hit the call button.
"How can I help you?" The nurse asks.
"Lyric's awake. We need the Doctor and she wants something to drink."
"I'll be right there." The nurse says.
I fire off a text to Zeus telling him our girl's awake and to get here fast. I look at my woman and she has her eyes open. I look into those big brown eyes and I break down crying.
"I'm so fucking happy to see those beautiful eyes. You're never to scare me like that again."
I bend over and kiss her face and lips.
"I love you baby. You've been so brave a strong and I'm so fucking proud of you."
She has a couple of tears come out of her eyes and kiss her tears away. Thorpe and Dr. Atkins come in the room along with Sis and the nurse that's on duty. They check her over and Sis gives her some ice chips to suck on.
"Do you know what year it is? Do you know who the President is? Do you remember your name? His name? Do you have children and if you do what are their names?" Dr. Atkins asks her.
She answers all his questions correctly.
"What's the last thing you remember?" He asks
"I remember everything. My last memory is talking to Dean on the phone and him telling me to hide under the porch. He said he was on the way with my daddy and my papaw. I remember telling them that I loved them and I was hurt bad and I was scared." She tells him with tears in her eyes.
