Throttle just arrived at home in California. He parked his bike in front of the garage, took his helmet off and hung it on the handlebar, then he got off the bike. He walked through the small garage door, then through the door into the house. He took his boots off then made a beeline to his room to pull out the manilla envelope that held the divorce papers.

He closed the door and pulled out the manilla envelope from the nightstand. He sat down on the bed and stared at the envelope. As he was about to open it, there was a knock on the door. He set the envelope down on the bed and opened the door. His mom was on the other side.

"You came into the house in the hurry. Everything ok, sweetie?"

He turned around and sat down on his bed. He picked up the envelope and handed it to his mom. She opened the envelope and slid out the paperwork just a bit and saw what was scrolled across the top. She looked at her son in shock.

"Are you really going to go through with this?"

He sighed. "I don't know, mom. I'm afraid that if I sign this, we're going to be on the streets."

"Have you looked it over?"

"Not yet."

Silverdawn pulled the paperwork all the way out and looked it over. "It seems that she's going to allow us to stay in the house. Nothing is getting split down the middle. Guess that happens in divorces. And she's going to come here on weekends to visit the boys. It seems she knows what she's doing."

Silverdawn handed over the packet of papers and Throttle went through it all. "Guess so. I think she had this planned from jump. She's giving up the baby, too."

"She didn't call you to see what you have to say about it?"

"No. I tried to talk to her about trying to work things out, but when she told me she was putting the baby up for adoption, I just lost it. I left the garage and went to the scoreboard to workout my aggression. Afterwards, I came back here. I don't know how I'm going to tell the boys."

"Let Michelle tell them when she comes to visit this weekend."

"And if she doesn't tell them?"

"Then I will. They need to know what's going on between their mother and I. I think she's worried I might make her the bad guy and make the boys hate her. I would never do that. I want the boys to understand that they didn't do anything wrong."

"Didn't this all start when Tony said that Charley and Modo were making their meals and she wasn't here much?"

"Yeah, it did, but Tony has already apologized to her." Throttle looked up from the paperwork. He had tears streaming down his face.

Silverdawn sat down next to her son and held him. She knew how much her son was hurting. She wished she could make the pain go away.

"Mom, I don't wanna lose her like this. I love Michelle so much. I don't want this divorce. I want her."

"I know you do, sweetie. Don't sign the papers yet. When she comes to visit the boys, we'll set her down and talk. If she knew what this was doing to you, then she wouldn't have sent these papers to you."

Las Vegas, NV. Carbine and Morgan were in the hospital. Carbine was having the baby. Poor Morgan was nervous as hell.

He's been waiting for almost 10 hrs. now. He's hoping for a boy, but he also knew that Carbine was hoping for a girl. Either way, he just wants the baby healthy, no matter the gender.

11th hour came and went and the Dr. came out to the waiting room. "Your wife had the baby. Congratulations, Mr. Dragon. You have a beautiful baby boy."

"Can I go see my wife and son?"

"Yes, you may. Come on." Then he lead Morgan to the maternity ward to see his wife and newborn son.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

They walked in and Carbine looked up to see the Dr. and Morgan. Carbine smiled at her husband.

"Come meet your son, Morgan." Morgan walked over to his wife and new son.

He sat down on the edge of the bed. "That's some good work we did. He's beautiful, darling. Have you picked a name yet?"

"Not yet. I'm hoping we can find one together."

"Of course."

"What about the name Richard?"

"I like it. What about a middle name?"

"Alexander?"

"Richard Alexander Dragon. I like how that sounds. Its perfect."

Carbine smiled. "It is perfect. Just like our little one."

A few days later, Carbine and baby Richard were discharged from the hospital. Morgan had wheeled his wife and new baby son to the car. Morgan picked up his new son and put him in the infant car seat. Then he helped his wife into the car. After he gave the wheelchair back to the nurse, he walked around to the driver side and got in. He started the car and took his new family home. He was so happy, he was beaming with pride.

He looked over to his wife and noticed that she was already asleep. Morgan didn't bother to wake Carbine. He knew she was still worn out and let her sleep. They lived an hour and a half away from the hospital. There wasn't a hospital closer to where they lived.

2 hours later, Morgan and his family arrived home. He gently shook Carbine to wake her up.

"Time to wake up, beautiful. We're home."

Carbine slowly opened her eyes and looked at Morgan and smiled. "We're home already?"

"Yes, we are. I did make a couple stops along the way for gas and bathroom breaks. I'll get our son and you head on inside and get some more sleep."

"You sure, Morgan? I can take him inside."

Morgan smiled and kissed the top of Carbine's hand gently. "I'm sure, beautiful. I can take care of everything while you get more sleep."

"Ok. I love you, Morgan."

"I love you too, Carbine." Then got out and walked around to the passenger side of the car, opened the door then helped Carbine out. He watched her head inside the house then opened the back door to get his son out of the infant seat.

Chicago. Last Chance Garage. I had just finished up work early so I could go to Cali to see my boys for the weekend. I was surprised that Modo stayed the whole week. He was a big help at the garage then made awesome dinners every night. He was also my transportation since I was preggers.

"Garage is all cleaned up, tools put away and ready for a hot shower."

"And a hot meal."

"Let me cook this one tonight. You've cooked every meal this week, Modo."

"I'm taking you out for dinner. I need to talk to you about something anyway."

"Everything ok between you and Charley?"

"It has nothing to do with Charley. Rimfire called me last night after you went to bed. Him and Christina had a long talk about adopting your baby. They've decided not to adopt it. They don't want to see you lose Throttle over this. I agree with him."

"After going to the Dr. this week and watching the baby move and feeling it kick, I've been having second thoughts, but…"

"I get it. You're afraid of what Throttle will say or do?"

"Yeah, I am. I wanna keep it, but I don't wanna keep it."

"Let's just get you home for a shower, get on the road so you can see your boys. And hopefully, try talking to Throttle again. He also called me last night."

I had just pulled down the garage doors and locked them. Then pulled out the remote to the alarms.

"Guess who just had their baby?"

I turned around and grabbed the outreached helmet. "Carbine finally had it? I heard she was a month past her due date."

"Yeah, she was. They had a boy." Then Modo pulled out his phone and pulled up the picture. He showed me the picture.

"He's adorable! They pick out a name for him?"

"Richard Alexander Dragon."

"Nice. I'm so happy for them."

"We all are too." Then he grabbed my hand and helped me on his bike.

"What a gentleman. Not many of those around anymore."

"My momma raised me well. I heard Brie was still around. I thought Throttle killed him?"

"It turned out that it wasn't the real Brie but a clone. The real Brie is still alive and well."

"That's who had Throttle's bike? Karbunkle try to do to his bike that he tried with mine?"

"I think so. Anyway, I need that hot shower before we hit the road."
