Free Grim: The Beginning by Glenna Maynard Page A

we are having a girl. I know Red is happy, but I also know a part of her is sad and longs to have Sarah back in her arms.
    Things with Hook have somehow worked out, not sure how or why, but I am not complaining. I don't need that stress while getting the new distillery running, and prepping for the birth of my daughter.  Squirrel  has my truck in the garage working on it for me, damn thing has a cracked radiator. Don't like the kid, but he is good with a wrench. 
    Walking into the Roadhouse and seeing it sprinkled with pink is just wrong, even if it is for my girls.  Tucking my surprise for Red in my cut, a smile spreads across my face, gonna ask her to marry me. I'm ready, I know she is the one. She is the only woman to boil my blood, set me on fire, take my shit and still love me no matter what. Slim picked the ring up for me yesterday, it's perfect, matches my brand on her arm. Reaper's face with roses on the band.  Can't wait to put it on her finger.
    Red walks into the party and she is overwhelmed with emotion, she has tears of joy streaming down her face. Her cheeks are flushed, with excitement as she takes in all the hard work the girls put in to make her night perfect.  My brothers make a toast to my family, our family. It's like Red and this baby were always meant to be apart of me, a part of us.
    Nothing funnier then seeing a group of bikers playing  a bunch of girly games. Skull says he feels like a proud grandpa, old man has always looked out for me. If it weren't for him and Slim getting me out of the Rejects I'd be dead or in prison. Not able to hold it in any longer, I whistle getting everyone's attention. I ask Red to join me in the center of the room.
    Taking her by her hand, I go down on one knee holding her ring in my palm. "Red, I never thought I would meet someone who would be my match—someone who could fill this piece of me I never knew I was missing until you came into my life like a damn tornado. You shook me, rattled me and tore down my walls. Now I am ready to build a new future with you, So what do you say, you going to marry my ass, be my top bitch?"
    "Well when you put it so sweetly," a single tear drop runs down her face.
    "Grim, I want nothing more than to be your one and only. This gypsy has found her home."
    Sliding the ring onto her finger, feels like I am finally complete. I think I can see Romeo shedding a tear, brother has always been a sucker for love. 
    Stone speaks up, "enough of this pussy shit, let's party."
    Slim and the other brothers make their rounds congratulating me and Red. Foxie and Slim fixed up the boy's' old crib for the baby. Skull has already bought my little girl one of those pink battery operated motorcycles. Says she is going to be a biker princess. The thought of raising a daughter amongst these hell raisers makes me cringe, but I have some damn good brothers.
    "Babe, I'm so tired. I appreciate all of this the party, my ring, but I am beat. I am going to go home and get some rest. You stay and enjoy the party."
    "You sure, I mean shit, I'll come home with you."
    "No, I'll be fine. I want you to have a good time, once our girl gets here you aren't going to have a lot of these nights until he gets a little bigger."  Knowing there is no reason to worry, I let her go on to the trailer. Blaze breaks out the fireworks left over from the fourth and we have us one hell of a celebration.
    Red went home only about two hours ago, but I am already missing her. Truth be told I can't stand to be away from her. Slim offers to help me pack some of the gifts home with me. "Never thought I'd see the day, man. I have to admit I had my doubts about the two of you working out, but I'm happy for ya Grim. Fuck man, a daughter. One day she might be my daughter-in-law."  He roars in a laugh.
    "Fuck you, man, don't be joking about that shit. Your little hellions ain't getting near my kid. Shits not even remotely funny." If it weren't for carrying these gifts I'd give him a good kick
