"That's what you deserve, Eves. Peace."

"Hey, baby, get up."

I hummed and winged at the voice trying to wake me up. I knew it to be Kit's and I edged my eyes open slightly to look at him. He looked fresh from his shower and I knew he was going to tell me that he was going to work.

He surprised me by saying, "Come with me today. We'll do some more driving lessons."

I sat up partially and he moved my hair out of my face. The night before we'd stayed up late watching a movie.

"You want me to come with you?"

He nodded and moved back so I could sit up. The duvet cover fell from my naked breasts so I pulled it back up again so Kit would focus on my face.

"Won't you have training and other work to do?"

"The guys are working on the assault course today, I'll have to work out at some point as long as you don't mind. Tricia is asking about you after the trouble Maddie caused, I think she'd like to see you."

I sat and thought about it, wondering if I'd ever want to be at Delta again during the day.

"Will Maddie be there?" I asked and he shook his head.

Eventually, I agreed and got up to go take a shower.

Once I glanced around at Kit, I saw him staring at my naked body, eating me up with his eyes. Alone in the shower, I thought about if I should ask about Maddie today. I decided I probably wouldn't. I still had hatred built up towards her and I wasn't sure I'd ever be rid of it. I got dressed in my bra and knickers when Kit showed up with his phone in hand.

"Stand there," he said and I frowned at him.

"I want a picture of that bump," he smiled, making me stand to a side so he could picture me.

Once I looked at his picture, I could see my bump had grown again since the last time I looked. He left me there looking at his phone and kissed my temple. Once I felt like I'd had a good enough look I placed Kit's phone on the bed and got dressed before heading downstairs after him.

"Where are all your brothers?"

"Nick will probably already be at Delta, he practically lives there recently since we saw… Logan."

"Logan? Is that your father's name?" I asked, and he nodded.

"Jax will probably be there too, Jason will be at the garage and so will Eric."

I nodded and walked around the kitchen. I found it hard helping myself, although Kit and his brothers had all equally said that this was my home now and that I should treat it like my own. Nevertheless, it was taking time to get used to just helping myself to food and drink. None of the brothers would stand for me contributing and it made me feel even less independent. I loved them for it though, despite how it made me feel, I understood why.

I always feltnerves settling in the pit of my stomach whenever I thought about coming to Delta. It became a reality as we were driving there. The last time we were here we'd had that stupid accident. That didn't help, despite making insane love afterwards that made the whole ordeal seem less horrible. The time before, Maddie had outed Kit and had tested our relationship before me being kidnapped and used as bait. This was technically mine, and as I stared around the grounds and at the enormity of what Delta actually was, it still didn't feel like mine at all.

"You okay?" Kit asked as we parked up in front of the safe house and the glass building beside it. I nodded and gave him my best smile. Last time we were at this house, Maddie had broken my heart with the knowledge she had given me. Kit led me to the glass building and I slowed as the statue of my dad neared. Just like the first time, I stood in awe at it. Staring at how similar it was to him. I had to walk away from it before I started crying again. I wondered if I'd ever be able to face up to it without getting emotional. I waited at the desk as Kit spoke to a girl behind it and she beamed up at him before noticing me there. She nodded at whatever Kit had requested and when he came back to my side she picked up the phone to dial out.

"Who's that?" I asked trying not to look back at her.

"That's Melissa, Tricia's assistant. She man's the front desk."

I nodded, not remembering her from the last time I'd visited.

"Eves!" We finally heard Tricia approaching and she held her arms out to give me a huge hug.

"I've been so worried about you, did Kit tell you?" She came close and held me at arm's length.

"He did. Thank you, you don't have to worry about me."
