Talon's POV

Gypsy was bouncy in her seat and Spider was smirking. Today we were visiting Sawyer and I had called in a few favors to ensure we got an hour alone with him. A doctor will also be on stand by for when we leave. We wont kill him, because we all agreed the idea of him rotting in here was a good one. He was a pretty boy and I know just how much the inmates here love pretty boys. I can't count how many I had heard be used when I was locked up. I was lucky not being born a pretty boy, Sawyer, not so lucky.

When we were taken to the waiting room the camera was cut and Gypsy sat down, propping her feet on the table. She wore the highest of heels, as if they were running shoes. The woman clearly didn't know the meaning of sensible. When the guard brought Sawyer in, he froze at the sight of us. The guard shoved him in and shut the door, locking it.

"Nice to see you Sawyer. Enjoying your stay here," Gypsy asked him sweetly. "What are you doing here," He asked. Gypsy pulled a piece of paper out of her pocket, "Two bruised cheeks, a split lip, a deep cut on the neck, and a knee that was torn to hell. All these are the physical injuries you gave to Iris. Let's not forget to mention when she burned her hand trying to get away from you, or the fact she felt violated and dirty after you forced yourself into her pants." Gypsy crumbled up the note. "Growing up you used to declare you wanted to be nothing like your father. You wanted a good woman and a good family. You wanted to be a good man. You had the good girl. You had the chance to have a good family but you signed that all away. When you realized you fucked up, you wanted to come and take it back. You were going to rape her, had the cops not shown up. At least all of the women your dad had were all willing and he still knew no means no. You were lucky she had already healed from giving birth to Shane before you felt on her the way you did, but if she was still healing and in pain from it, would you have tried to rape her then?"

He clenched his jaw but there was a glint in his eyes that had my blood boiling. She then gestured to me, "You know Talon here right? I dont know if you know this but he's a biker from the Caged Beasts MC. Everyone at that MC loves Iris and know she is his woman. Now you got lucky their President only let Spider and I come here for this little visit, but if you ever get out of here, it's best you leave town as quickly as possible." She then put her hand down, "Before I let these boys have their fun, we would like to know what thing. Did you enjoy what you did?"

He was silent and defiant. That was the only answer Spider and I were needed before we were on him. Gypsy's timer went off and we backed off, leaving him broken and bloody on the ground. He managed to get to his feet, smirking, "I can honestly say you're one lucky fucker. The only thing I loved about that woman was her love for sex. When you have one taste of her, shit will never be the same." Gypsy slammed her fist into his face, knocking him out.

Spider grabbed her before she could slam one of her killer heels into him. "Come on psycho, let's go," Spider said pulling her out with him. I followed, but stopped in the doorway to look back at him. He was breathing, and part of me wished he wasn't. I shook my head and turned away, leaving him for the guards to deal with.

Back at the compound Iris was taking a nap and Shane had just woken up. After changing his clothes and diaper I took him out of the room to let her sleep. The compound was quiet which was a rarity. Everyone was either at Church or gone to piss and moan they couldn't go with Spider and I.

I noticed Spider's bike was gone, neither he nor Gypsy around. I made Shane a bottle then took him to the couch. He looked up at me with eyes that were slowly turning from blue to green. He wasn't mine biologically, but I was blessed to have him.

My phone began to ring and I smiled when I saw it was my mom. She knew about Iris and Shane, but she didn't know just how much I cared about them.

"Hey mom," I said when I answered. "You're still coming right," she asked me. I could tell she was scared I was gonna back out last second. "Yes mom we still plan on coming," I told her. "Do you know if Iris is allergic to anything," she asked me. "Lemons," I told her. "Okay so I'll make a special dessert for her. Do you know if she'd prefer chocolate or vanilla cake," she asked me. "She likes vanilla," I said as I put the bottle down to wipe Shane's mouth. Even with a bottle he was such a messy eater.

"She must really be special if you know all this without having to ask her," Mom said and I could hear the smile she had. I looked at the bright eyed boy in my arms, "They're both very special to me." "How did you two meet," She asked me curiously. My mom was the biggest romantic. "At the grocery store. She was too short to reach something on a shelf so I got it for her. I helped her get the things she needed as we walked around and talked. I think what really drew me to her was that she wasn't scared of me, or scared of having Shane around me. She was all smiles and welcomed my help," I shared with her.

"How does she feel about you being a biker," she asked me. "She told me she accepted that part of me when we got together. She didn't even want me to keep it away from her or Shane because she knows it's part of me and she wants all of me, not just parts," I told her. I burped Shane before laying him on my lap. His tiny hand was wrapped around one of my fingers. "She even likes my friends and trusts them with Shane. She hasn't judged any of us."

"You sound like you found a good one Talon," She told me. "I really did," I told her. I then sighed, "Does everyone else know I'm coming home?" "No, because I really dont want to hear them complain. I'm tired of them thinking the worse of you. I am hoping maybe Iris can change their minds," she told me. I nodded, "I do too." But I feel it would take a miracle for that to happen.

After talking a little more we hung up and I smiled at Shane, "You wanna go see if you mommy is awake?" I picked him up and carried him to our room. I saw she was curled up in the middle of the bed. "You okay," I asked her. "I started earlier today," she grumbled. I laid Shane in his bassinet, and sat on the bed. "Do you need anything," I asked her. "To have my uterus taken out for a week," she said before putting her face in the bed. "Cant arrange that, but I can get you snacks, heating pad, and Midol," I told her. "That sounds good," she said, lifting her head. I kissed her forehead and got ready to leave with Shane. "Text me what you want," I told her.

At the store I pushed the cart with Shane in it. I was looking over the pads and tampons trying to find the kind she likes. I noticed some women watching me as if I was a rare creature. I shook my head and continued shopping. At the register was a young man, most likely in college.

He chuckled, "Your girl wear the pants or something?" I raised an eyebrow, feeling unamused, "I'm taking care of my woman. Shes at home curled up in bed going through her first period after having our son, and I'm here buying what she needs and wants. How does that make me less of a man? The fact you find it funny shows how you treat the women in your life. Grow up."

After paying I left and put Shane in the car, "If you grow up like him, I'm gonna shoot you." Shane made a cooing noise and I smiled, "Dont tell your mother I said that." He gave me a smile and I wiped drool from his mouth before putting the things in the truck.

When I got to the compound I saw police cars outside, Iris sitting on the porch, blood leaking through the bandage on my knee. I wanted to rage and curse. Guns pointed at my truck and I kept my hands where they could see them so I didn't get shot. I waited for them to tell me to get out before opening the door. The back door was thrown open, scaring Shane, causing him to cry.

"What's going on," I asked what appeared to be the leader of the raid. "We're looking for Manny Rontz," he said. I scoffed, "He was arrested five years ago, sentenced to life." "Locked Jaw helped him escape, we believe they were hired by you to get him out and now you're hiding him," he said gruffly. I wanted to laugh, "Havent you seen the war we're in? We havent said anything to Locked Jaw besides a few curses here and there. Maybe you should take your man hunt to them."

Iris went to stand but a cop forced her to stay in her chair, "I'm going to go get my son." He made her stay in her chair. "Are you the reason her knee is bleeding," I asked him. He didn't say anything to me and I glared. "Iris," I asked her. "I wasn't moving fast enough out of the room and he was a little rough removing me and I fell in the hall," she told me.

"Charles, let the woman shut the brat up. Dont remove him from the truck," the leader snapped. I watched as she limped her way to the truck and balanced on the step up to get to Shane. She gave him his pacifier and he quieted. She nearly fell when she stepped down, having to put weight on her bad leg. She made her way back to the chair she was in. Motorcycles then pulled in.

"What the hell is going on," Warden snapped. "And why is one of our women bleeding?" The cop gave him the same spiel he gave me. "That doesnt explain why she is bleeding," he snapped, clearly furious. "I was forced from my room, and fell," she answered. Spider then pulled up with Gypsy on the back of his bike. They got off and Spider had to hold Gypsy back. "Easy girl dont need you getting arrested for assaulting an officer," Spider told her.

"Ms. Ray is actually under arrest already for assaulting an officer," Charles said. "You look unharmed," Warden said. "Wasnt them. Big guy inside," Iris said, crossing her arms. "He grabbed me somewhere he shouldn't so I snapped and hit him." I wanted to explode. "Talon, I'm gonna be fine, take care of Shane till I get back."

A big guy came out, a black eye already forming. "He's not here," he confirmed. They took Iris away and left. Warden was on the phone immediately to call our lawyer while I got Shane. Spider got the groceries and we went inside. They trashed the place, not caring if they broke anything. Everyone was fuming. I went upstairs to lay Shane down and saw the room was trashed. I picked up Shane's bassinet and fixed it before laying him down. I began cleaning the room and found a blue quilt on the floor. I held it up and saw she was making it for me. It was dirty, probably trampled on when they threw everything around. A needle was poking through meaning she was working on it when they came in.

"She is probably pissed the surprise was ruined," Gypsy said as she came in with Spider. He picked up the red one she was making for him. He ran a hand over it and fury was in his eyes. No one had ever given him something like that and I knew by his face he was touched she made something for him, just like I was.

"There isn't much we can do, let's just get this place cleaned up while we wait for her to call one of us," Gypsy said. We nodded, neither of us liking this one bit.

Once everything was cleaned, I grabbed the monitor and went downstairs. Everyone was downstairs, the room tense. Spider sat on the couch, sharpening a knife, Weasel cleaning his pistol. "Any word," Warden asked me. I sat down, "Not yet." "I'm surprised she hit him," Spider said. "I'm not. Shes in a lot of pain because she started her period, and he coped a feel. I'm disappointed that's all she did," Gypsy said crossing her arms. "Her knee is busted up, she didn't have any balance to do more," Weasel said. Gypsy sighed, "We shouldn't have left her here alone."

"Kratos was supposed to be here," Warden said. "I havent been able to get a hold of him so I sent a few out to find him while we wait for her." I nodded and ran a hand through my hair. My baby was injured, alone, and in jail. None of this sat right with me. Part of me felt like it was my fault. I should've been here for her. At least Shane wasn't here when they stormed the place. She may have killed someone if it meant he stayed safe.

I got up, unable to just sit still. "Need to vent," Weasel asked me. I shook my head, "You'll leave me bruised and busted. I dont need her freaking out when she comes home." "I have a question, how in the hell are we not being arrested? Surely they found something in one of our rooms," Spider said. Warden got up and went to Church and we followed after him. He turned on the camera and we watched them force Iris to walk with them from room to room. At one point she had a pistol in the small of her back, that when they weren't looking she hid. She did that from room to room. She looked tired and in a ton of pain and eventually they took her to the porch to let her sit.

"I dont know how, but she managed to save our asses," Warden said as he ran a hand through his hair. "I thought for sure they'd find my weed stash," Spider said. "I owe that woman a shopping spree." "We owe her more than that," Warden said. I nodded in agreement. She saved several from getting their asses put away for a few years. Including Spider. When we left Church we told everyone what she had done and they were shocked and grateful. Now we just had to figure out how to repay her.

Iris's POV

My knee felt like someone took a sledgehammer and crushed it. The cramps I was feeling didn't help me either. Every step I had taken up and down that hall hiding anything I could was worth it. I was lucky the cops wanted me to follow them so they could keep an eye on me. The real reason was pay back for hurting their buddy. When we were done with the rooms I begged to sit down. Jerks didn't let me get any pads or anything. Luckily though some of the female officers gave me some and some Midol when the men weren't looking.

When the lawyer came he was happy to hear my side of things and is now trying to get me out of here. I wasn't given medical attention for my obviously bleeding knee and I was sexually assaulted. When that cop grabbed me, it brought me back to that night Sawyer attacked me and I just swung. The jerk deserved it.

When the officer opened the cell door I smiled when I saw Talon. He picked me up bridal style, "How are you?" "In a ton of pain and I want to go home," I told him. A nice hot bath, followed up by cuddling and watching a movie sounded perfect right now. He kissed my head, and carried me out of there. Spider was in the driver seat of his truck. Talon placed me in the back seat before he got into the passenger seat.

"Did they do anything else once you got here," Spider asked me. "They refused to give me any feminine hygiene products. Some of the female officers there though were nice and snuck some to me," I said then yawned. "Can we not make any more fuss over this? I just want to go home, take a hot bath, and go to bed."

"No can do little momma. We all know what you did, and why many of us arent going to prison today," Spider told me. My cheeks began to feel warm, and Iooked at my lap. I had done it repay everyone for their kindness for taking care of me and helping with Shane, I wasn't expecting anything out of it.

We got back to the compound and Talon picked me up out of the truck and carried me inside. Gypsy feeding Shane when we came in. She gave me a big smile then went back to looking at Shane who had grabbed her necklace. Talon carried me up stairs but went in a different direction of our room. Spider opened a door and we were greeted with a bigger room. All of our things were in here as well. Except Shane's bassinet. He sat me on the bed and opened a door, that lead to a nursery, "We were moved to one of the family rooms."

I smiled softly as he closed the door to the nursery. He then went into the bathroom for the first aid kit. He got on his knees and undid the bandage it was disgusting looking. He got up and got a bowl of soapy water and a rag. He fixed me up with great care

"Was anything broken during the raid," I asked him. He shook his head, "No but, uh Spider and I found our quilts." I sighed and nodded, "I figured you would." "I'm having them cleaned right now since the shit heads trampled them." I smacked his shoulder for the foul language. He took my hand and laced our fingers, "We really love them Iris. Spider wanted to kill them for how they treated them. Never have we been given something so special. I would've ensured they were tortured, never seeing the light of day again."

I teared up, "You guys mean a lot to me, and I know you would've hated me spending money on you when Christmas came so I thought I would make you something." I hated that police the police ruined the surprise but at least I know they liked them. "When I finish them I'll give them to you guys," I told him. He nodded and kissed my lips softly, being careful of my split lip. I couldn't wait for my injuries to be gone then I can properly kiss him and not be carried around like a child.

"Do you know why Locked Jaw broke out one of your brothers," I asked him. He nodded, "We have a few ideas and now we have to go save him if he isn't dead already." He then kissed my head, "But it's nothing you need to worry about, we've got this." I sighed and nodded, "Okay." It was biker business and that was all I needed to know. I just hope it doesnt get anyone killed.
