He nodded again, knowing what I'd meant.

"You should get some sleep, Sweetheart. You need energy to grow my nephew."

I scoffed after letting go of the hurt I felt for a second.

"You guys are gonna be so wounded if I'm having a girl."

Jax chuckled and said goodnight as I pushed away from the counter and headed back upstairs with my bag in hand.

Back in Kit's bedroom,I looked at him. He hadn't moved an inch and was peacefully breathing on his front. I searched in my bag for my clothes and heard Kit groan in his sleep. Hearing the noise in his throat made me worry so I stayed with him instead of going into the bathroom to change. I pulled my leggings off and then lifted my dress over my head when I heard him making the same noise again. This time I moved over to see if he was okay when he suddenly sat up and looked around the room until his eyes landed on me beside him. I just stood still, catching my breath from the shock of his movements when Kit sat himself on the edge of the bed and leaned his head against my body. I held onto his head and threaded my fingers through his hair as his hands came around the backs of my legs and he kissed my stomach.

"Hey, buddy," he said making my heart skip.

He waited a little longer, slouching, and then brought himself back to my stomach to finish his chat.

"I won't let them hurt you both, I promise. I'll do better," he mumbled quietly before laying back down onto the bed.

"What?" I questioned him and when he didn't answer I crawled over him and looked at his face.

"Kit? Answer me," I demanded, but it was useless.

Kit had fallen back into a deep sleep and I sat completely confused. I'd come over to clear things up with Kit and I was more confused about us than I was already. I settled back against the headboard, knowing I needed to get dressed because I was only sitting in my underwear. First, I allowed a tear to fall down my cheek. Everything was so fucked up, and nothing was getting better. Kit's words were ringing in my ear.

I won't let them hurt you both, I promise.

What the hell did that mean?

I'll do better.

I already knew we were in danger. That's why this whole thing with Maddie had been created.

Was there something else going on at Delta that he knew about but wasn't telling me?

I sat and thought about it longer, until another thought overrode everything. That being, my bloody tits were killing me. The pain I felt was adding to my sadness. In anger, I reached behind my back and nearly snapped the strap on my bra, trying to unlatch the hooks so I could release my breasts. Once I'd succeeded I threw it across the room. Just before I made a move to get dressed I felt Kit's arm snaking around my body, humming as he pulled my body into his. He cupped one of my breasts in his hand as my arse connected perfectly against his groin. Like two perfectly matched jigsaw pieces. I found my safety there in his arms, just like I always did, and I allowed myself to close my eyes.

I slept like a baby.

As I opened my eyes, I released how stupid that saying was. Babies don't sleep well, and I was sure to find that out very soon. As I thought about my baby I felt Kit's large hand shifting to my stomach. My mind averted back to the night before and how drunk Kit had been and I turned over to face him. I was still topless and Kit, despite looking tired and hungover stared at my tits.

"What happened last night?"

I had to give him a chance to explain before I bombarded him with the other questions clouding my mind.

"I had too much to drink," he answered.

"No shit," I answered blatantly. "Why did you drink so much?"

Kit looked at me for a little while before turning his eye contact to something other than my eyes.

"I dunno, I got carried away?"

I shook my head, knowing there was more to this.

"I thought you weren't going to lie to me anymore?"

"Who said I'm lying to you?"
