She was trying to remember her last birth control shot. With the Veronica situation and then the Cindy problems, she had forgot. If what she thought was true, she knew Rider was going to be pissed. He had said more than once he couldn't handle more than the three kids they had. Rider hadn't even mentioned marriage to her. The couple occasions they talked about kids he just said he couldn't think of more .He said the three they already had were a lot to deal with and enough. Ash never pushed the topic. She called Maddie and asked if she'd go to the pharmacy for her. The last thing she needed was to have someone see her buying a pregnancy test. A half an hour later Maddie arrived. Ash went to her door to let her assistant know she needed privacy. "Mrs. Wilder please hold all my calls for the next thirty minutes." Ash explained. She closed her office door. Thankfully Ash's office had its own bathroom. Maddie had bought her three. She took the tests and then laid them on the sink

Rider ran his hands through his hair. "What if the pregnancy changes her like it did Angel? They are sisters. I don't think I can go through that again. At times Angel was a nightmare to deal with. And I have the kids to think about too." "Any woman has the ability to go through that. Knowing Angel and Ash I just think it's not going to happen to Ash. Angel was moody and tough before the kids. I remember y'all bumping heads many times." Preacher explained. "Ash is calmer. Not to say she can't be tough. We've seen her get tough when pushed. But I think Ash has a smarter mind. Her strength lies in her ability to deal with people and strategize. It's what makes her one hell of a lawyer." Preacher explained. "Those girls situation made them tough. Angel physically and Ash mentally. And kids are resilient, they bounce back quicker than most adults." He explained. Preacher gave Rider a lot to think about. Then a text came in from Maddie. "Ash is in the ER. She passed out. They're worr

"Angel was not only my sister who I loved with all my heart, but she was also my best friend my entire life! When she died, I didn't have time to grieve my sister and best friend leaving me. No, I had to step up and care for her infant son, and take care of her other two kids." Ash explained. "Rider fell apart and I don't begrudge him that, he loved her more than anything! He needed time to grieve so he could continue to be a father to his kids without his wife." Ash had to stop to push back the tears so she could continue. Jaycee lost the pissed off look she had on her face. Ash was hoping that meant she was getting through to her. She didn't want this animosity between them. The kids loved their aunt Jaycee. "We didn't go into taking care of the kids together to start something between us. It was just there. Lord knows we ignored it as long as we could. But I know my sister, and she loved me. She loved Rider, and she loved the kids. She would want us happy." Ash replied. "Rider

Well these two bitches were disrespectful to Ash in the bathroom. Talking about her losing the baby and saying all kinds fucked up shit about her being with Rider and even mentioned Angel." Scarlett sneered. "Jules, you know better than to disrespect an old lady." James demanded. "She was the ringleader." Scarlett spat out. "She said Ash couldn't even carry Rider's baby. Who says fucked up shit like that about a miscarriage?" James was disgusted. "You're both banned from the club." Both women started squirming and whining but Scarlett had one hell of a grip on their hair. She wasn't letting them go. Scarlett was gonna help them out the door. And probably down the parking lot on their faces! "Torque see these two out and tell the gate to add them to the no-fly list." James ordered. "Yes Prez." Torque replied. Scarlett didn't let go. "I'll help you take out the trash." James rolled his eyes. Steele grinned like a cat who ate the canary. Fighting always hyped Scarlette up. And she
