"Hey, babe, can you take Cam and get us some coffee?”I ask, hoping he gets that I want to talk to Blaze alone for a minute.
“Sure, come on, you can help me carry it all back.”He says to our son as he messes up his hair as he walks past. Cam pulls an unimpressed face before he quickly follows his Dad from the room.
Blaze looks at me and smirks.“Well, what did you want to talk to me about without Cam here?”
“Jasmine; she's not as sweet as she seems; we've had some issues with her. I don't want her saying bullshit to Cam or planting doubts about us in his head.”I say seriously.
Blaze's face loses all playfulness and becomes hard.“That's fine; I'll tell her they have to do movie night at your house tonight. If she doesn't like it, then she isn't having movie night with him.”
“Thanks, Blaze,”I say with relief.
Just as we finish talking, Wrath and Cam come back with coffee. Luckily, we'd finished talking about Jasmine, we don't need Cam worrying about her too. He has far too many worries for a kid as it is. Walking over, Wrath hands me my coffee, dropping a quick kiss on the top of my head in the process.
“Thanks, babe; I needed caffeine desperately,”I say before I take my first sip.
“You're welcome. You know I’d do anything for you, even going to fetch you some coffee while you're stuck in your hospital bed.”He tells me with a tender smile.
“You really aren't portraying the big bad MC President right now.”I laugh.
“I don't care; you're more important than coming across as a badass.”He tells me seriously.
When he says things like that, it makes me love him even more.
For the next hour, we sit around just talking about random, meaningless stuff before Blaze tells Cam that it's time to go if he wants to make it back for movie night. Cam gives me and Wrath quick hugs, then leaves with his grandfather. He seemed a lot more settled when he left, which I'm relieved about. I hate how much all this shit with Claire's affecting our son.
Lying here after they've left, I can feel my eyes dropping, slowly drifting to sleep. My body obviously needs more rest. I didwant to talk to Wrath some more now that we were alone, but that's going to have to wait. I need rest.

I've been back home a few days now, and I'm going insane being stuck inside this house. I know I can't exactly do a lot right now, but I'm not used to this resting shit. Don't get me wrong, I love all the time I'm getting to spend with Cam, but I'm not made for sitting around all day doing nothing. I need a change of scenery desperately.
Grabbing my phone, I decide the best course of action is to get Doc to be the one to move where I am. Nobody can moan at me for leaving the house before I'm ready that way. Sending a quick text, I ask him to come to the house.
Maybe I should’ve told him I was okay because he’s bursting through the front door five minutes later, panting, totally out of breath. I think he may have ran all the way from The Clubhouse. Oops. My bad.
“What's wrong?”He manages to ask me between gulping breaths of air.
“Nothing’s wrong; I’m just wondering if you thought I'd be okay going over to hang out in The Clubhouse for a while. I won't be doing anything before you worry about that; I just think sitting in The Common Room and having a change of scenery would do me some good. I'm going stir-crazy being stuck in here, but I didn't want to just come over there without checking. I refuse to cause anyone any more worry, but I could really do with getting out of the house.”I quickly explain to him while feeling a little guilty that I worried him.
“I don't think that's a problem. You've improved daily. I think you can even start taking short walks to regain your strength and keep you fit, as long as you have someone with you just to be safe. You can come over, but you need someone to drive you. You're not recovered enough to be driving yourself, and it's too long a walk for you to attempt right now. Can you agree to all of that?”He asks me while eyeing me; I know he's reading my body language.
“Yeah to it all. Are you okay to drive the SUV that's over here for me, and then I'll get someone to drive me back later?”I ask him hopefully.
“Yep, come on, let's get you out of here for a while. You're starting to get crazy eyes.”He says with a smile.
After driving me over to The Clubhouse, he makes sure everyone sees him take me in, including Wrath, who's at the bar grabbing a bottle of water. No one can argue with me being out of the house when Doc's the one to bring me over here. There's definitely a method to my madness.
Every member who's been in and out of The Common Room has come over to check how I'm doing, and if I need anything. It's been nice to see how much everyone cares. Sometimes it's easy to forget that Devil's Inferno is more than just a club; it's a family too. For some, it's the only family they have now.
Noticing Blade entering the room, I wave him over towards me. I haven't seen him a lot since I was hurt. I want to check on him and see how he's doing after everything that happened with Jasmine. He starts walking towards me, but suddenly stops when he sees something over my shoulder. Turning around, I see Jasmine, and she's heading straight for Blade. Fuck! I can't do anything. Eyeing me as she walks past towards Blade, she fucking smirks. What the fuck?
Grabbing my phone off of the table, I type a quick text to all the Officers, telling them to get to The Common Room now. They aren't going to get here quick enough to stop her, though; she's only about five steps away from Blade now, and he hasn't moved at all. I think he may be triggered just by seeing her. Not good. Not good at all.
Reaching him, she pulls her hand back and slaps him across the face. I can't help but gasp out in shock. What the fuck? Why the hell is she hitting him?
“You're a lying piece of shit, and so is your little friend sitting over there too.”She says as she points at me.“How can you live with yourselves lying about you being raped when you were younger?”She shouts in his face.
Gasps sound around the room. Blade's past isn't common knowledge. Only those he trusts the most know. Fucking hell, she's just outed his past to everyone here.
