line. 
    The reason I’m heading home is because of Mindy.  She’s dying.  Fucking cancer.  I swear even the thought of that word makes me want to throw up.  She’s been going through treatment for nearly a year, but nothing has helped.  If anything, it’s just made her sicker. Last week, the doctor finally laid it out for her and Chipper.  She can continue chemo and she might have two more months, but she would be sicker than hell for every day of those two months, or stop treatment and maybe live a couple more weeks.  If she’s lucky, she’ll still be weak, but nothing like when she’s taking treatment. 
    Mindy chose the no treatment route, and Chipper had a shit hemorrhage.  He didn’t give a shit what it took. He wanted every day he could with her.  Mindy stood her ground though, and stopped the chemo.  Can’t say that I blame her.  Needless to say, Chipper’s not taking it well, and neither is Jenna.  She puts on a brave face for Chipper and Mindy, but she spends every night crying on the phone with me. 
    If it wasn’t for the kid, I may not even know how bad it had gotten.  I knew she had cancer, but the last time I had talked to Chipper, he said she was on the mend.  As soon as Jenna told me the truth about Mindy’s condition, I called an end to my time in Mateland.  My Pop was pissed as hell when I told him my decision, but he can be pissed all he wants to be, because I sure the fuck am over this shit.  I still can’t believe he hid this shit from me.  I know he wanted me to stay on a little longer, but I don’t give a damn.   Pop may put the club first, and in most situations I do too, but not when my sister-in-law is dying.  Fuck no!
    When I pull into Chipper and Mindy’s driveway, a young woman runs out the door.   I can’t figure out who she is.  I know I’ve seen her before, but I’m not sure where.  One thing I do know is that she’s a fucking knock out.  Just watching her walk towards me has my dick going hard. 
    As soon as I slide off my bike, she jumps onto me, wrapping her arms around my neck and her legs around my waist. Instinctively, my hands go to her ass and my dick turns to stone. 
    She looks into my eyes and smiles. “I’m so glad you’re home!”
    The sound of her voice sends shock waves through my system.  No way. No fucking way is this the kid.  I pull my head back and look into her face, and my cock starts to ache.  “What the fuck happened to you?”
    A confused and hurt look crosses her face, and she slides her body down mine.  I can only hope she didn’t feel how hard my cock is.  “I asked you a damn question. What the fuck happened to you?”
    “What do you mean?” she whispers, taking a step back. 
    I start to answer, but the words get stuck in my throat.  How in the hell do you ask someone how they went from being a cute kid to the most fuckable woman you’ve ever seen in less than a year?  I mean really, it’s not something she could miss.  Her once shoulder length black hair now hangs down to the middle of her back.  I swear the shit looks as soft as silk, and I would give my left nut just to run my fingers through it.  The eyes that seemed too big for her face last time I saw her now tilt seductively and fit perfectly into the most beautiful face God ever made.  The coltish body she once had is filled with womanly curves that many women would pay out the ass to have.  Hell, I’d pay out the ass to just touch them.  No!  There’s no damn way she missed this.  So instead of explaining, I just motion towards her.  “You. What the hell happened to you?”
    She starts to open her mouth, but shuts it when a weak voice answers for her.  “She grew up.”
    I look towards the house and see my sister-in-law standing on the porch.  My body seems to turn to concrete and the heat that Jenna sent my way is instantly gone, replaced by a cold fear that I haven’t felt since my mom died.  Mindy, the sweetest woman in the
