Chapter 7
Koz and I walk into my house with Lily and sit on the couch together. Lying in my arms, I am feeding her while she looks up at me. Koz is just watching her and smiling. I look at him and he looks up at me and kisses me softly. "Thank you for this. I never thought I'd be married or have a baby." I tell him. "Don't thank me. This was all you Momma." he says. After Lily finishes her bottle, I burp her and rock her to sleep. We just sit there watching her. "You know you are gonna have to put her down eventually." Koz says. I look at him and smile and ask "Says who?" He just laughs and says "Give me my baby girl and I'll put her in the crib." he tells me. Taking her out of my arms, she doesn't wake and he carries her to the nursery and places her gently in the crib. We stand there watching her and he wraps his arms around my waist. Kissing my neck, he says "Time to claim my wife." he whispers. Turning in his arms, I whisper "Claim me husband." He picks me up and carries me to our bedroom.
Laying me down on the bed, he starts kissing me. I roll him over so that I can straddle him and he sits up with me. Pulling my shirt over my head, he starts kissing down my neck and works his way to my chest. Running my fingers through his hair as he attacks my breasts, I grind my center against his jean covered hardening member. Laying me back on the bed, we start to shed clothes. He enters me slowly and starts to thrust in and out at a slow and steady pace. "I love you Randi." he says. "I love you Herman. Always." I say. He keeps up the pace until we both reach our release and he pulls me into his side and we drift off to sleep.
Through the monitor, we hear the smallest little cry. I go to get up and he says "Sleep. I got her." He gets out of bed and puts some shorts on before heading to the kitchen for a bottle and then to the nursery. I can hear him talking to her. As soon as he starts talking, her cries stop. "Hey baby girl. Daddy's got you. Here you go." he says soothingly. I just lay there and listen. "There you go princess. That's it. That's good ain't it?" he coos to her. I get up and get my phone from the nightstand and head to the nursery. I look at the sight before me and snap a picture on my phone. Koz is sitting there with no shirt on, holding Lily to his chest, patting her back, talking to her. "That's it baby girl." he says as he burps her. Laying her back down against his chest, he starts rocking her. "Daddy's got you. Mommy and Daddy love you so much Princess." he says before looking up and seeing me standing there. "Thought I told you to sleep?" he asked softly. "I heard you talking to her. I had to come get a picture." I say holding up my phone. "Come here." he says. I walk over to the rocking chair and he shifts her where he's holding her in one arm and pulls me down onto his lay with the other. Wrapping his arm around me, he says "This is all I'll ever need. I love you Randi. Thank you for saving me." he says. "Herman, you saved me too. You just didn't know it." I say before kissing him.
The next morning, we head to the clubhouse and I have Lily's carrier in my hand as I walk into the clubhouse. Koz was outside talking to some of the guys. I see one of the croweaters glaring at me and Kelly sees it too. "What's her problem?" I asked. "I don't know." Kelly says. One of the other croweaters, Lanie, who I actually get along with, says "She's pissed. She wanted Koz. Says that you trapped him into marrying you and adopting the kid." she tells me. I just shake my head. A few minutes later, the guys come in and Koz walks over and kisses me and then takes Lily from me. Kelly and I watch him holding her and Kelly whispers "She's already a Daddy's girl." I nod my head and say "Yeah, she is." Kelly asks "How'd she do last night?" Smiling I say "She only woke up once to eat and be changed. Koz got up with her." I tell her. "Yeah I did. She's Daddy's little Princess." he says. "She's SAMTAC's Princess." Lee says, walking up. "We got church brother." Lee says. Handing Lily back to me he kisses me and says "I'll be back." I smile and say "We'll be here."
A few minutes later, I hand Lily to Kelly. "I have to pee. Hold her a minute?" I asked. She nods and I head to the bathroom. Walking out of the bathroom, the croweater that was glaring at me earlier says "You know he won't stay with you. You trapped him into helping you raise that little bastard out there and you can't even give him a kid of his own. No man wants that." she says. I don't let her in my head. I get in her face and say "I'm his Old Lady. He married me. We have our daughter. You don't fucking matter around here. Disrespect me again and I'll shoot you with my Old Man's gun. Got it, whore?" I asked. "We'll see." she says and walks past me.
Walking out to the main room. I see all the guys are out of church and Kelly still has Lily so I step outside. Happy follows me. "Hey little girl. What's wrong?" he asked. "Just some croweater running her mouth. Pissed me off. Just need a minute to get my temper down. Don't want to be around Lily all riled up like this." I tell him. "Come on." he tells me and leads me to the punching bag. Putting the gloves on me, he holds the bag and tells me, "Hit it as hard as you can." I start punching over and over again and he's just holding the bag. When I feel like my nerves are calmer, I stop and he takes the gloves off of me. "Thanks Hap." I say. "You're my sister-in-law. I got you." he says. We walk back into the clubhouse and I walk over to Koz. "You okay?" he asked. "Yeah baby. I am now." I tell him and he kisses me softly before looking back at our daughter.
