Final Ride Fallen Angel's MC 4 by Erin Trejo

any records,
other than a few old doctor visits. That was many years ago
though. The trail just kind of went cold after that.” I can see it in
her eyes. She’s telling me the truth.
    “Bella showed up a while ago. A friend from another club
helped her find me. She’s been with me the rest of this time.”
Her smile widens as she gazes up at me.
    “Oh. I can’t believe it! She’s ok? She was ok?” The concern
etched across her wrinkled face says it all. She loved that girl.
“She’s good. She had a rough life.” A tear slides down her cheek
before I look away. I know that feeling all too well.
    “I didn’t know what Candy had planned. I should have never
helped her. I’m so sorry, to both of you.” Anna turns to walk
away when something tugs at me.
“Do you want to see her?”Chapter 25

Tank walks in with the little old lady wrapped around his arm.
It’s a little funny that he’s so damn huge, and she isn’t.
    “Guys. This is Anna. She’s Bella’s great grandma.” Tank
announces as we all look at each other. I walk over first,
extending my hand to her.
“Nice to meet you, ma’am.” She smiles up at me with a slight
shocked look. Yeah, we have manners sometimes.
     
Cher stands there in shock herself before Tank waves her over.
    “Anna, this is my wife. Cher.” Her smile widens before she pulls
Cher into a hug. Cher’s eyes widen as she looks at me over
Anna’s shoulder. It’s the funniest sight that I’ve ever seen
before.
“It’s so nice to meet you.” I nudge Tank’s arm before I almost
lose it. His smile is pure amusement.
    “I’ll go find Bella.” Offering to go before I laugh seemed like the
best option I have. I head down the hallway, stopping at her
door before knocking.
“Come in!” She hollers as I shove the door open.
     
“What are you doin’ in here?” Smiling at my beautiful niece, I
wonder how she’s going to take all of this.
    “Nothing. I was thinking of watching a movie with Griff.” Griff
smiles happily in his sister’s arms. I don’t know that I could be
any prouder of my niece and nephew. These kids are wonderful.
    “Someone’s here to see you. I was goin’ to let your dad tell you,
but I think you should be prepared before you go out there.”
Taking on a now serious tone, I look at the confused look in her
eyes.
“Who is it?” Hiking Griff further up her hip, she looks nervous.
     
“Your great grandma, Anna.” Shaking her head, she takes a step
back.
    “I thought she was dead. My mom, Candy, always told me she
was dead. I remember gram. I talked to her on the phone when
I was little. One day, it all stopped. Candy never called her
anymore.” My heart slams in my chest. Tears fill her eyes. This is
killing me.
I walk toward her before I reach for Griff, but she shakes her
head.
“Bella, let me take Griff.” Shaking her head, she takes a deep
breath before looking up at me.
     
“I got him. I just can’t believe that she’s alive. How did she find
me?” Swiping at her eyes, I put my arm around her shoulder.
    “I don’t know sweetheart, but she seems happy to be here. Are
you ok with this?” Bella leans her head against me before
sighing.
    “I never thought I’d see her again Creed. I don’t really
remember what she looked like, but I remember that sweet
voice of hers. She would always tell me she loved me when I’d
talk to her on the phone.” Holding Bella tighter, I hope this
works out for her.
“She has your eyes. Those beautiful blue eyes.” Bella giggles
before she pulls back and smiles up at me.
     
“Thanks Creed.” Kissing her forehead, I lead her out into the
hallway.
    “Come on, give me little man.” She smiles up at me before she
passes Griff off. I love how protective she is over her brother.
She’s an amazing sister.
    “It’ll be ok Bella.” I feel like I need to remind her when she dead
stopped in the hallway in front of me.
“I know.” Without looking back at me,
