hand but she quickly pulls out of his reach. I see this, knowing this is going to be a rough fucking night, and here it starts because the kid doesn’t take the rejection well, “What the fuck, Trinity? All I wanted to do was give you a hand up.”
“Don’t you think you’ve given me enough already. I don’t need or want anything else from you, Cadence Power. I don’t need help from a boy who pretends to be a man. Stay the hell away from me.”
After arriving home, I put a call in to Doc to come take a look at Trinity. Once he arrives, Dee, Cadence and I sit quietly as Doc examines Trinity across the room. A very pale Fern is holding her hand as Doc talks to her, asking her questions. She looks exhausted but continues to listen to both of them. Doc is moving her arms to the front, then back, lifting while poking her sides. On her left side, when Doc pokes her there, she grimaces, so Doc asks more questions, waiting for her reply. He listens to her heart then puts the stethoscope to her belly.
We all wait until Doc is done. Fern stands up, asking me if she could help Trinity take a shower. I tell her to use the master bath as Fern leads her down the hall. Doc walks over to us, shaking his head angrily, “She is in pretty bad shape. Besides the bruising, I would like to get her eyes checked as they are both swollen shut for the most part and her pupils don’t look right to me. She might have a broken rib or two on the left side. She’s extremely malnourished, but what worries me the most is that she hasn’t been to an obstetrician yet. I am very concerned for her baby. I strongly suggest that we get her some professional help guys, and soon. The only positive I see is that the baby is still small and protected in her uterus. Hopefully that has helped the baby with the beatings that poor girl has been receiving.”
“So what’s the plan?” I look at each of them, “I have a bad feeling that this is going to bring trouble from her old man. She can’t stay at Dee’s, or with you and Fern, as you both live in town. I don’t think it’s appropriate that she stay at my house here, and I’m pretty sure she’s not going to want to stay with Cadence so our choices are limited. I called someone to see if they could take in another abused soul.” As I finish, the sliding door opens and in walks Wolf.
Cadence shoots to his feet, “No fucking way is she staying with him! Absolutely no fucking way –” and we listen as he continues on with his ridiculous temper tantrum, “Des, you know how he is with women. There is no way in hell that I’ll allow her to go anywhere with him.”
“We came out here to get some of her clothes before her shower,” but Trinity is already walking straight toward Cadence, never taking her swollen eyes from him.
“Who the fuck do you think you are? You have absolutely no say in what I do, where I go or who I stay with. You will never have any say in what happens to my baby and me!” As her body shakes with so much rage, she turns and walks to Fern, where Fern leads her out of the room. Cadence looks like she just kicked him in his balls. I push him down into the chair then look at Wolf and explain the situation.
Only Wolf, Cadence and I live outside of our little town so I figure it would be best to keep Trinity under wraps for a while so no one can locate her. As we continue on with our conversation, the doorbell rings and the other guys enter. As they all grab somewhere to sit, Dee goes to the fridge to grab beers and Coke’s for everyone, then goes back to the kitchen and begins pulling out pans and the toaster. I look up at her with a question in my eyes that she answers with, “Honey, she probably hasn’t had a good meal in a while. I’m going to make her some scrambled eggs with toast,” so I nod and move back to the conversation at hand.
