"What do you mean you're not coming home?" Trace hissed into his cellphone.

Justin was supposed to be returning from him and Shift's honeymoon tomorrow but here he was saying he wasn't coming home. If Justin wasn't coming home then neither was Shift. The Wolf Pack needed the both of them. He needed the both of them there with him.

"Trace...We just need some family time." Justin tried to explain.

He knew eventually he would have to tell Trace that Aiden was pregnant but he wanted to wait. She couldn't go back to Tennessee with things being so dangerous back home. When she got pregnant with Kale it was a whole lot easier. To begin with he hadn't been President of The Wolf Pack during that time. Now he was President and his wife was Vice President. Things were much more serious now.

He let out a deep sigh when he heard Trace scoff. Trace didn't understand, he wouldn't understand. He didn't have kids, he didn't have a wife but Justin did and he was going to protect them...even if that meant pissing off The Wolf Pack.

"You can have family time here in Tennessee! We fucking need ya'll here! You can't just bail on us because you want to fuck Aiden some more!" Trace screamed into the phone and it took everything inside of Justin to not lose his temper.

"Trace. Aiden's pregnant!" He finally shouted into the phone to shut Trace up.

"S-She's...shit! Ya'll have to stay there!" Trace told him as he rolled his eyes at his best friend's response.

"No shit Sherlock. I can't bring her back to Tennessee...especially after that gunfight at our damn wedding. I gotta protect my wife and my baby not to mention Kale. I know The Wolf Pack needs me but so does my family and they come first." Justin stated as Shift approached him and wrapped her arms around his waist.

"Man...I get it now. I'll handle things here but expect to receive some calls from me. Oh tell...t-tell Aiden I said congratulations! And congratulations man!" He heard Trace stutter into the phone and he had to chuckle.

"Thanks man. Watch over my mom and dad for me, will ya? I gotta go. Aiden's fixing dinner for me." He said as he kissed Aiden's forehead.

"Yeah man. Talk to you later." Trace said before they hung up.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Everyone. Welcome to church. As ya'll have notice by now Timberwolf and Shift aren't back from Colorado yet. They found out Shift is pregnant and have decided to stay where it's safer for them. Timberwolf has suggested Fig take over as Interim-President and I take over as Interim-Vice President while Shift and him are away. Do we have any objections?" Trace asked as he looked around the chapel at the members.

The young members were shaking their heads, indicating they had no objections to the new temporary change in leadership but the original nine...weren't saying a word.

"Come on guys. We've got to hash this out. Either ya'll agree with Justin's decision or we talk this out! The whole fucking club needs to decide." Trace ordered as the club members looked at one another then back at him.

"Why Fig? I think a nine member should be President while Justin's away." Bubbles stated and threw his boys a glare when they chuckled.

"That's bullshit! We are a club! It shouldn't matter if Timberwolf picked a nine or not. He is President. What he says goes," Irish stated before muttering under his breath, "This shouldn't even have been opened for a vote."

"Irish is right. Timberwolf is President. We never questioned Paul so why are we questioning Timberwolf? There shouldn't be "the nine" and then "the young ones"...we are one club. One family." Fox stated as he lit his cigarette and leaned back in his chair as he inhaled.

Fox rarely spoke unless spoken too and he didn't have any family members in the club. He was a quiet and smart man who everyone respected in the club and their small town. Shift always stated he was the kind of man that people listened too when he spoke up. He never got involved when the other nine griped about being mistreated in the club. He never cared about being part of the club hierarchy. He just followed it and respected it.

The other nine stayed silent as Fox continued to smoke his cigarette after stating his piece.

Trace could feel the tension in the room melting away as the rest of the nine started to agree with Justin's decision.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Two weeks later in Dublin, Ireland*

"Hey Irish! 'Bout time you made it to the homeland! How's my future wife?" Patrick McManus asked as Irish walked off the plane and headed towards him.

"Your future wife is officially taken and married to Timberwolf now! She's pregnant too! You missed out." Irish told Patrick with a chuckle as the two Irish men embraced.

"Well damn! I should have crossed the pond and stole her! Timberwolf's a lucky fucker! She secretly loves me." Patrick said with a grin as the two men pulled apart.

"I'll be sure to tell Shift when I see her again." Irish told him as he slapped Patrick on the back and both men chuckled.

"So I talked to the wife about her brother and she said he's good for it so...whatever you want and want to give away. Just don't tell Shift. She'd kill me if she knew I was giving you such a good deal." Patrick said as they exited the airport and got into his SUV.

"Hell! Shift'd kill you just to kill you! You know how she is." Irish stated as they made their way to Patrick's house.

"Yeah but she'd be so fucking hot doing it. Don't tell my wife I said that!" Patrick said as Irish laughed.

"I would never! But when she leaves you don't get mad at me when she comes running to me." Irish said as they pulled up to Patrick's house and his wife greeted them.

Irish smiled wide as Ashleigh McManus made her way over to them. She sure was a pretty girl. Her fire red hair blew in the cold Ireland wind and caused her pale cheeks to flush pink from the cold. She rubbed her small hands together before enveloping him in a tight hug. Patrick was a lucky man. She giggled as Irish lifted her up off the ground and kissed her cheek.

"Patrick's talking about Shift again." Irish whispered into her ear not so quietly and Patrick yelped before laughing as Ashleigh glared in his direction.

"That's okay. I've always got you," she joked with a laugh as Irish placed her down and she patted his chest lightly, "This is my brother Sean. I'll get dinner ready while you boys talk," she said before walking away and into the house.

For the first time Irish noticed a young man about 21-23 years old standing next to Patrick. He was a spitting image of his sister and for some reason Irish felt completely comfortable around him. It wasn't unusual but he wasn't expecting it. He approached the young man and shook his hand as he introduced himself.

"Connor O'Doule but everyone calls me Irish." Irish said as Sean threw him a small shy grin.

"Nice to meet you. Let's make a deal." Sean told him as they walked to Patrick's shed and got down to business.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

*In Memphis*

"Hello Erik. I'm Agent Fagan. We've closely been following The Wolf Pack in all states. I work for the ATF in California but my bosses have quickly realize that the Tennessee charter runs all the other state charters. That's why it's so crucial to have your testimony against Justin "Timberwolf" Timberlake," Agent Fagan said as Erik paced back and forth in his hotel room, "We have an Agent on the inside that is currently running with The Wolf Pack. However, it appears they're getting caught up in the lifestyle so we need your help. You can't just walk away."

"But if I testify that would bring down the whole Wolf Pack club down. I can't do that to Shift. I love her. A smart man knows when to fold and walk away and I'm a smart man." Erik told Agent Fagan.

"Mr. Massey, I understand where you're coming from. What if I proposed a way to bring down Justin without testifying against The Wolf Pack?" Agent Fagan asked as Erik glared at him with a questioning gaze.

"I'm listening..." Erik said with a sigh.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

*In Colorado*

"JT. You don't have to stay here if Trace really needs you back home." Shift told him with a sad sigh as they relaxed on the couch and watched Kale play.

"He can handle it. I'd rather be here any day with my wife and my son and my baby. Ya'll are the most important things to me." Justin explained to her as she snuggled closer to him and he kissed her forehead lightly.

"Mommy. Can you have a baby girl? Because I don't want to share my toys!" Kale asked as he played with his toy cars.

"Did Daddy tell you to ask that KT?" Shift asked as Justin shook his head.

"No! He just said I would have to share my toys if you had a baby boy. I don't wanna share Mommy." Kale said as he continued to play and Shift elbowed Justin.

"Look at you tryin' to influence our son." She told him with a laugh as he just smiled and kissed her cheek.

"Come on KT. Time to go to bed." Justin told his son as he rose from the couch and his son ran to his bedroom.

He just chuckled as his son jumped onto the huge bed and threw the covers over his small body and head. He strutted over to the bed and tickled his son, laughing as Kale squealed and squirmed.

"Okay buddy. It's really time to go to bed," Justin told Kale as he tucked him in tight and kissed his forehead, "Goodnight son. Your Mama and I love you."

"I love you too Daddy. Tell my Mama I love her and that I really wouldn't mind a baby brother if that's what she wants." Kale said and Justin's heart swelled with pride.

"Will do buddy." Justin told him as he shut his door and made his way to him and Shift's room.

"Did he go to bed just fine?" Shift asked as she removed her sweater and jeans, leaving her in her bra and boyshorts.

"Yeah. He's a good kid...damn little girl! You look hot as hell! All glowing and shit!" He muttered as his clear blue eyes turned a dark navy as they licked over her body.

"Really Daddy? You want a piece of this pussy?" She asked him as she undid her bra and let it fall to the floor.

He crossed the room in two long strides, removing his clothing along the way. His strong hands gripped her hips, pulling her small body to his before he captured her lips in a kiss. His fingers instantly made quick work of removing her boyshorts and he let out a groan from the back of his throat as her small delicate hands caressed his bare chest. His strong hands picked her up with ease and tossed her onto the bed as she squealed out with surprise. He just chuckled as he crawled onto the bed and made his way towards her.

She looked so beautiful to him in the dim light, naked and waiting for him. Her wedding ring caught the light and his eyes started to mist a bit. She threw him a curious glare as she tilted her head in question and all he could do was smile.

"Daddy? What's wrong?" She finally voiced and he shook his head.

When did he get so fucking sentimental?

"Nothing little girl. You're my wife now. Nothing's wrong now." Was all he said before placing a soft kiss on her stomach.

His hands caressed her sides as he kissed his way up her body, stopping only to lavish her breasts with equal amounts of attention. She let out a soft moan and he could feel her fingers tugging at his short curls. He licked along her neck, nipping at her soft skin here and there as her legs widen for him and he nestled between them. He let out a groan as his erect member pressed against her wet core. He could feel her wetness and he wanted, no needed, to be in her.

He captured her lips in another heated kiss, slipping in his tongue when she let out a moan. Her hands feverishly clawed at his back, trying to get him closer to her. He grabbed her right thigh and hooked her leg over his hip before sliding into her, pushing until he was as deep as he could get. It was then that her soft pants and the digging of her nails into his skin began. He shut his eyes tight as her pussy throbbed around him and he almost couldn't breathe. With her it was always this intense.

His eyes fluttered open as she kissed his cheek and he felt her hand caress his side. His eyes met her brown ones as he pulled out and pushed back in, watching pleasure etch on her face with every move of his hips. He did that for her. He made her feel this way and he always would. He grabbed her hands, lacing their fingers together as he placed light kisses all along her collarbone. He rolled his hips as she met him thrust for thrust, her loud moans echoing off their bedroom walls.

She wrapped both of her legs around his waist and smiled as they both moaned when he sunk deeper into her. Her body started trembling as he stroked her harder and faster, gasping when her walls tightened around him. He could hear her moans for him getting louder and louder and he covered her mouth with his hand.

"Shh...baby...our son." He mumbled as she nodded and their moans turned into small whimpers.

He groaned as she rolled them over and she sank down on him and began to ride him. He cupped her neck as their lips met. His hands trailed from her neck lightly down her back, caressing her Wolf Pack back piece tattoo, before finally resting on her hips. He let out a growl as she grabbed onto the headboard and slammed her hips down onto him, throwing her head back as he stroked her spot.

He gritted his teeth as her pace became frantic and her small nails clawed at his chest. He could feel her walls tightening around him as her body started to tremble and he tightened his grip on her hips as he bucked his own. He guided her hips with his hands as she tumbled over the edge and screamed out his name.

"Baby....I-I...I'm so close." He gritted out as she leaned over him still panting and let her hair caress his chest.

"I got you honey." She whispered as their lips met and she rolled her hips.

He broke their kiss as his head fell back against the pillow and he let go, coating her walls as she fell on top of him. He kissed her head and caressed her back as their breathing returned to normal. He played with her fingers as she placed light kisses along his chest.

"I love you Aiden." He whispered as he played with her wedding band.

"I love you too Justin." She said as she caressed his side.

He flipped them so they were both laying on their side and pulled out of her. She snuggled up to him as their bodies intertwined and he held her. He could feel her falling asleep and he kissed her forehead before closing his eyes. She was his wife and she would be by his side forever.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

*10 months later*

He bundled up his new pride and joy in her pretty pink blanket as he stared down into her beautiful brown eyes. She was becoming the love of his life and he was grateful that his wife didn't mind. She was becoming a Daddy's Girl and he wasn't stopping it one bit. When she cried he was there in an instant, protecting her from anything and everything he could.

She was his daughter. Evangeline Teigh Timberlake.

He picked her up and cradled her in his arms as she cooed. Her small little hands desperately tried to grab at him but her blanket made it impossible. He touched her small nose with his fingertip laughing as she let out a small giggle.

"How's she doing baby?" Shift asked him as she walked into the room with a bundled up Kale.

"Good. Just being her adorable self." He said as his daughter's eyes searched the room for her Mama.

"Hey Evan. Mama's here. Let's cover up your head baby girl. It's cold outside." Shift told their daughter as she brushed her soft brown hair before placing a pink beanie over his daughter's head.

They were heading back home to Tennessee today and he was excited as hell. Trace and Evan had been running the club and updating him everyday. In all honesty he just wanted to take his wonderful new baby daughter home to meet the rest of her family. She was slowly becoming his world. She looked just like her Mama with beautiful brown eyes and a head full of soft brown hair. She had Aiden's nose and some of his freckles. Her lips were all his as well as her long eyelashes.

He loved his son. No one could ever replace his love for his son, his first born. He was just excited to have a daughter. A beautiful little daughter who made his heart swell. She was going to be spoiled and he was going to be overprotective. He already warned Aiden and she had said that was fine.

He knew without a doubt that he was the luckiest man in the world. He buckled up his daughter in her car seat, chuckling when she reached up for him. He looked around the cabin, making sure him and Shift had packed everything. He put all their luggage in the black Tahoe, smiling as he heard Kale talking to his sister as Shift buckled them in.

Ever since Evan was born Kale had been insisting on helping him and Shift out. He knew without a doubt Kale was going to be a good protective brother. Kale even got onto him for not bundling his sister up right the other week. He smiled at Shift as she made her way over to him and patted his chest as he closed the trunk.

"Daddy, are you ready to go back home and show off our baby girl?" She asked him as he gripped her hips and pulled her into his arms.

"Hell yeah. She's fucking beautiful baby. Just like you. How did I get so lucky?" He asked as he kissed the top of her head.

"You take care of me and I take care of you. That's how. Let's go home Daddy." She said as he grabbed her chin and placed a soft kiss on her lips.

"I love you Mama." He said before he let go of her and swatted her ass.

She just let out a laugh as they got into the Tahoe and drove to the airport, ready to go back home to Tennessee.

*Hours later in Memphis*

They stepped off the plane and made their way through the airport. Justin carried the baby carrier with a sleeping Evan in it as he held Kale's hand with his free hand and Shift handled the luggage cart. He smiled as he noticed Trace and Teak waiting for them at the exit of the airport.

"Hey man. It's about time ya'll came home. Let me see that angel." Trace said as he approached the car seat/carrier and took a look at Evan.

"This, my friend, is my beautiful little girl Evangeline Teigh Timberlake." Justin said as he pulled the pink blanket back a little and Trace and Teak crowded around him to have a look.

"Wow! She's amazing. She took after you Aiden but I see some of J in her too." Trace said as he hugged Shift as she smiled proudly.

"She's already a Daddy's girl. We probably should get going. I know Lynn and Randall are probably waiting for us." Shift said as Justin nodded and Trace grabbed their luggage for them.

"Your mom is so excited to see her new grandchild. She made us come extra early just in case your flight landed early." Teak said as Justin laughed.

"Yeah. She's crazy like that." Justin said as they left the airport and headed back to Millington.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

*An hour later in Millington*

He smiled as he took a hold of his wife's hand. His parents were both watching his children together while he and his wife were picking up some essentials for their new baby. His mom had been overjoyed with her new granddaughter and had practically pushed him and Aiden out of the house. She insisted they go to the store while she spent time with her grandbabies.

He hadn't objected at all. He loved his kids but he needed some time alone with his wife. She kept him grounded and they hadn't had much time alone since Evan had been born. He loved spending time with Aiden and that's how he got so addicted to her. She captured all of his attention and when he didn't get her sole attention he became frantic for it. His family and club knew this and made sure he was allowed his alone time with her.

"Baby...so what do we need?" Shift asked him as they walked into the general store.

"Just some baby food and pampers. Oh...and a candy for Kale. He's doing so good handling the new baby." Justin told her as he followed her through the aisles.

"I know. I'm so proud of him. I'm sure he's glad he has a baby sister instead of a baby brother!" Shift said as she got a basket and started picking out baby food for her daughter.

"I forgot to tell you. He had said that if you wanted a boy then he would be okay with that. It was so cute how he said it Mama. He definitely loves his Mama. Almost as much as I do." He told her as he kissed her cheek and picked out some formula for his daughter.

"Aw Daddy. That's adorable. I love you and our kids...We need to get some pampers too. Did they move them while we were go-" Shift said as a guy wearing a ski mask charged into the general store.

"Everybody! Get down! This is a robbery!" The man shouted as Shift and Justin hit the floor.

All they could think about was their children back at home. Justin sat up and leaned against a display of cereal as he looked down the aisle straight at the robber. They stayed silent as the robber made his way to the cashier and pointed his gun at her.

"Give me all your money!" Justin heard him order and he watched Shift reach for her knife.

He shook his head no and she put it away and made her way beside him.

"Now where is the President of The Wolf Pack?...Timberwolf....where are you?" The robber asked in a sing-song voice.

"Who the hell is this guy?" Justin whispered as Shift shrugged her shoulders.

"Timberwolf, where the fuck are you?" The robber asked and Justin could tell he was disguising his voice, "Come on you pussy...Show yourself. You had the guts to talk shit about me, you had the guts to steal the love of my life from me, you had the guts to start a fucking family with her but you can't stand up and show yourself? Un-fucking-believable!" The robber said as Justin stood up.

"JT! Don't! Please baby!" Shift begged as Justin kissed her before standing up again.

"You want me? I'm right here! Fucking take your mask off and face me! You're the fucking pussy here!" Justin shouted as the robber turned and faced him.

"You like to talk shit! You're nothing without your precious club behind you. How does it feel knowing you're going to die today? I'll take care of Aiden real good when you're gone and I'll raise your kids like they were my own. I don't mind them calling me Daddy." The robber said and Justin saw red.

"You're not going to kill me! And your fucking filthy hands will never touch my wife! My kids will never be raised by you! I'm going to kill you with my bare hands for fucking calling me out!" Justin said as the robber shot at him.

Shift didn't think she just reacted and pushed Justin out of the way. They fell to the ground as the robber fled the store. Justin checked himself for any gunshot wounds and sighed in relief and let out a nervous chuckle.

"Baby, he missed." He said as he looked at Shift.

She was just lying there and he panicked. She was face down and not moving. He flipped her over as she groaned and he noticed she had been shot in the stomach. He applied pressure to her wound as she laid in his lap.

"You're going to be fine baby...just...just hold on for me..."He told her as he took deep breaths to calm himself down, "Somebody call 911! Fucking call NOW!"

"J-Just..t-tin...t-tell...Kale a-and E-Ev..." Shift tried to say as he started to cry.

He tried to wipe away his tears with the back of his hand and only succeeded in smearing her blood across his cheeks. Her wound wouldn't stop gushing blood and he couldn't lose her this way.

"S-Shhh...baby...don't...you're going to be fine...you're going to be fine..." He kept murmuring as he stroked her hair.

He knew she needed him to be strong but he couldn't keep his tears from flowing as he caressed her cheek. When her eyes closed he shook her until she opened them again. He could feel her slipping away but he refused to let that happen. He angrily wiped away his tears before applying more pressure to her wound.

"Where the fuck is that ambulance?" He shouted just as the EMTs came rushing into the store.

They took her from him and all he could do was watch as they placed her on the stretcher and wheeled her to the ambulance. He followed them into the ambulance and grabbed her limp hand. It didn't matter to him that his hands were covered in her blood. It didn't matter that he couldn't stop crying. All that mattered was that she lived. He couldn't live without her. That bullet had been meant for him and now it could possibly take away the love of his life.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

*At the hospital*

Justin sat in the waiting room, his head in his hands as he waited. They had taken her into surgery to remove the bullet and he was worried. He had been waiting for what seemed like hours and he just wanted to know she was okay. His heart was hurting. He knew he looked like a crazy man, covered in blood and crying his eyes out but Aiden was his world.

His head snapped up as Dr. Lyle Rutherford approached him and cleared his throat. He took a look at the doctor's face and prepared himself for the worse.

"She's stable Justin. She's in a coma but she's stable. I expect her to pull through. She's a strong woman. We removed the bullet and patched her up. She should be fine." Dr. Rutherford said as Justin let out a relieved sigh, "You know if it wasn't for you this wouldn't have happened."

"Don't. She loves me Lyle. Get over it. Just do your job and take care of her." Justin spat as Trace and the rest of the club walked into the waiting room.

"How is she J?" Trace asked as he took in the sight of a very distraught Justin.

"She's stable. They took out the bullet but she's in a coma." He said as he covered his face with his blood soaked hands.

"J, you should go home. Be with Kale and Evan." Fig suggested.

"I'm not leaving her!" He growled out as Trace touched his shoulder.

"J, go home. We'll set up shifts and watch over Aiden. Go home to your children and get cleaned up. We'll get a cot in her room for you." Trace told him as he shook his head.

"She wouldn't leave me Trace. Go get me some clothes and bring my kids to see me but I'm not leaving my wife."

"J..." Trace said as Justin cut him off.

"Just fucking do it Trace! I'm not leaving!" He shouted as he headed to Aiden's room.

He flung open the door to her hospital room and moved the chair next to her bed. She was just laying there and his heart jumped in his chest. He had never wanted this for her, for them. LJ was right, his lifestyle had put her in that hospital bed. He grabbed her hand and gave it a squeeze.

"Little girl I need you to wake up. I'm lost without you. I can't take care of Kale and Evan by myself. I can't run the club without you. Baby, please wake up. I need you. I...I need you." He told her as he started to cry.

He knew he should be strong. He even knew that he should have gone home to his children. That didn't matter though as he looked at Aiden.

"I'm going to kill whoever it was that dared to hurt you. I'm going to make them pay little girl. I promise you that."
