Chapter 8
A couple of days later the doctor finally lets me leave the hospital. Koz is there with my car and helps me into the passenger seat. We head up to the cabin and Koz helps me out of the car. Walking into the room where Ima is being held, Koz holding my hand as we walk in. Ima looks up and sees us standing there and her eyes go wide. "You thought you killed me?" I ask and she nods her head yes. "You see, I'm an Old Lady." I say. Getting almost nose to nose with her, I say "We don't die." Standing back up straight, I tell her "But you did do me a favor. Found out early that Koz and I are having a baby so thank you for that. But now I get to return the favor." I tell her. I walk over and see Happy laying out his bag of tricks. "Thanks Hap." I say and he just nods. I pick up the fillet knife and make slices from one ear to her mouth and move to the other side doing the same thing, listening to her scream. "Oh, does that hurt?" I ask sarcastically. I take the mallet and because I can't swing it with my injuries, I ask Koz, "Can you help babe? I mean, she did try to kill your Old Lady and our baby." I say. He walks over and takes the mallet and smashes her ribs and we can hear each of them crack. He puts the mallet down and I get back in her face. "After tonight, no one will ever think of you again. But me? I'm going to have my baby, marry my man and live the life I was meant to live." I tell her before reaching back and taking Koz's gun from him and shooting her once in the stomach, where she shot me before putting the rest of the clip in her head.
After handling Ima, Koz takes me home and we head to bed. Lying in bed, he pulls me as close as he can with my injury, he says "I'm proud of you babe. The way you handled her in front of the club, shows I have a badass Old Lady." I look at him and ask "Do you think you do?" He kisses me and says "I do." I look at him and he says "I really do."
The next morning, Koz has to work so Gemma is sitting with me. "How are you and my grandbaby doing?" she asks. "Me and your grandbaby are doing just fine." I tell her and she smiles. "Now what's this I hear you handled a whore?" she asks. "Added a little Chibby style facial decor and my Old Man helped her turn her ribs into dust and then I unloaded a clip into the bitch." I tell her. "Holy hell. I'm proud of you sweetheart." she tells me. "Koz said I made him proud. That I showed the club what a badass Old Lady he has." I tell her. "You did baby. That man loves you. He's so proud of you and so am I." she says. I look down and place my hand on my stomach and say "I hope I can make our little one proud." I say. "You will baby. You will." she tells me.
That evening, I am still on the couch and rubbing my stomach when Koz comes in. Seeing me, he comes over to sit next to me. "What's wrong?" he asks. "Oh. Nothing. Just thinking. We're having a baby. We're going to be parents." I say. "I know babe. Are you happy about it?" he asks. "What? Of course I am. Baby, I couldn't be happier." I say. He kisses me and says "I know something that will make you even happier." I look at him confused and he pulls out a ring and says "Marry me." My eyes go wide and so does my smile and say "Yes baby. Oh my God yes." I say. He pulls me closer and kisses me hard before putting the ring on my finger. "I love you Koz." I say. "I love you too baby. You and the kid. You're everything I need." he tells me. I kiss him again and he pulls back and says "You know I'm gonna want more kids right?" he asks. I look at him and smile and say "Me too baby."
