ZAK SEAL Team Seven(30)

Fucker was hopping from foot to foot like he was antsy about some shit. I turned back to the others. “Look I appreciate that this is a fucked up situation all around, but it wasn’t my doing. Nothing I said to her back then could make her believe that this shit was okay, this was her fucking way of getting back at me.”

Did she really hate me this fucking much? The fuck I care. Oh you care. Shut…the fuck…up.

“Is it, are you sure about that brother? Do you remember where we were two days after you two split? We went off the grid for four and a half months.” Logan had a point but still, there were a million ways she could’ve got word to me, especially afterwards when we’d been back on domestic soil.

“I don’t buy that shit, she had ample time, two fucking years and she doesn’t say a word. That’s part of me in there, the best fucking part and I wouldn’t have known about her if you hadn’t called that…”

“Hey!” They all got in my damn face.

“Fine, had you not needed that she devil’s help I wouldn’t know I have a daughter. I don’t care what any of you say, she was fucking wrong and I never did anything to her to deserve this shit. My fucking kid spent a whole fucking year on this earth without me there to look out for her.” Each time I thought of it I wanted to wring her fucking neck ‘til it popped the fuck off. So much could’ve happened to my little Zakira. The thought left me cold.

“Zak we agree, and we’ve told her so, but the fact remains we can’t leave this shit like this indefinitely. We’re dealing with who knows the fuck what from the outside. We can’t have dissension among each other in here. Nessa can be a big help to us on this…” I’d like to punt her ass over the wall for being fuck stupid.

“She can do whatever the fuck she wants, just make sure she stays out of my sight and far the fuck away from me.” I didn’t let his long drawn out sigh or the shaking head deter me. I’d fight every last one of these fuckers if it came to that.

“She’s her mother Zak, you know how women are about these things. The situation is already strained as it is, I’m just saying that you need to keep a cool head and be rational.”

“She’s a mother, I’m a father; her rights do not outweigh mine I don’t give a fuck what the world says. She had a year or more with her all to herself, let her deal with this shit now.” We all heard the buzzer go off and switched gears. “Who the fuck?” Logan checked the monitor on his watch.

Someone was at the gate and from Lo’s reaction when he checked I had a pretty good idea who it was. I’d all but forgotten the little surprise I’d organized for Ty, and though I wasn’t in the mood for a good laugh at his expense any longer, I wouldn’t mind a little light entertainment. Or something to take the focus off my ass for ten minutes. I checked on my baby and then followed the rest of them outside. Victoria Lynn pulled in and hopped down from the truck that was a mile too wide for her. She must’ve been a sight, sitting behind the wheel of that tank. She started offloading baby stuff as Cord and Dev who were closest moved forward to help.

“The fuck…what did you do bro?” fucker was already sweating.

“Nothing, I needed baby clothes, you told me to get baby clothes.” No he didn’t but he was so twisted he won’t remember who did what. She made a point not to look at him or acknowledge him in anyway, and just to fuck with him I picked her up in a bear hug. I looked at him over her head and he looked like he was gonna take me out barehanded. If I were three I would’ve poked my tongue out at him.

I put her down again and it was very telling the way she looked at him as she fixed her clothes before moving away from me. I hid my grin behind my hand and pretended not to notice shit just like everyone else was.

“Hi guys so we have a baby on board huh, where is she?” She lugged bags into the house while the rest of us followed with the heavy stuff. “What do I owe you Vicki Lynn?” She passed me the receipt and I fished out my wallet and counted off some bills to cover everything plus a little extra for her time. “Oh no Zak that’s too much.” She tried giving it back to me but I wouldn’t take it. When she tried to force it into my hand Ty almost lost his shit. “He said he didn’t want it.” His eyes were glued to the spot where her hand touched mine. She sniffed at him and turned away.

At this point everyone had seemingly forgotten all about my drama for the moment and was totally focused on these two. She looked in on the baby and cooed and this ass got a pained look on his face. He could talk all the shit he wanted to, his eyes never left her. I walked over next to him and nudged him. “What’re you waiting for brother?” I pointed my chin at her as she bustled around looking into the bags she’d just brought.
