Maddie walked through the airport. It was ten thirty two in the morning and she had just landed in Minnesota with Jude, Katie and Mac.

Jude had sent a few other club members too, but they were driving, since Jude 'needed' his bike for some club stuff that they were going to be doing while they were here so she could visit her family.

"The guys are about an hour out, they are going to meet us at your parents' house." Jude said as he hung up his phone. He picked up they're bags.

"The taxi is outside." Katie said, after also hanging up her phone.

Maddie had called her parents and told them she was bringing her best friend home with her, and also, her boyfriend, but she didn't know that Jude was having five of the club guys come also, but they were staying at a hotel, so that didn't really matter, did it?

As they all got into the large taxi minivan, Maddie told the driver the address and they were off to her parents' house, Maddie was excited, she hadn't seen her parents since January. This visit wasn't going to be as fun as usual though, not only was she bringing a 'boyfriend' home, for the first time ever, she had to tell them that the scary looking biker criminal, was actually the father of her baby, that they didn't know she was pregnant with. Yeah, this was going to be a really fun trip.

"Maybe you can not wear your vest when you meet my parents..." She suggested quietly to Jude in the Taxi. He shook his head. "We don't take off our cuts babe, I am not going to pretend to be someone I'm not, either your parents can accept me or not, I really don't care either way. I inherited this club from my dad, and I'm not hiding it from anyone." He said. She nodded, understanding, but her dad was going to have a fit, he was an accountant, and he followed the law very carefully, he has never even gotten a parking ticket.

She ran a hand through her hair. "Jude... Be nice to them, okay?" She asked, taking his hand gently and leaning her head on his shoulder. He smiled. "Of course." He whispered against her temple before giving it a kiss.

It took about a twenty minute drive from the airport to get to her parents' house. The taxi parked in the large, round driveway of the white two story house. The neighborhood was very nice, large manicured lawns in front of every house, the houses all looked similar, big, two stories, in either white or beige. Maddie felt almost like she was being transported back to high school, it happened every time she came home.

She looked over at the parked cars and saw three shiny BMW's. Her dads silver BMW 750Li, her mom's black X1, and her older brother, Zeek's blue Z4. She rolled her eyes at the flashiness of the cars as she picked up one of her bags. "Drop it." Jude said, walking over to her. She did as he said and put her hands up, rolling her eyes.

"You. Don't. Lift. Heavy. Things." Jude said, kissing her between every word. She sighed. "It's not heavy, it's just clothes." She said. "But if you insist, you can carry it." She said with a smile.

He picked up the bags. "Lead the way." He said with a smile as the front door open and she heard her mom yell her name.

"Madelyn!!! We've missed you so much, I'm so glad you're home." She said, running over to where Maddie stood and wrapping her in a hug. Maddie's father and older brother also walked out, a little more calmly.

"You look great, I've been worried about you getting too stressed out about your classes." She said holding her daughter at arm's length and examining her.

Maddie was wearing a baggy sweatshirt to hide her small bump. "Hey, mom. Guys, I want you to meet some people." She said after hugging her dad and her brother. "This is my boyfriend, Jude, my roommate and best friend, Katie, and her boyfriend, and Jude's friend, Mac. Jude has some stuff to do a couple towns over this week." She said softly.

"This is my mom, Carrie." She said, motioning over to the slender blonde woman in her 50's. "My dad, John." She said. Her dad stepped forward and shook Jude's hand. He was tall and skinny, with dark hair and glasses. "Nice to meet you, Jude. Katie we have heard so much about you." He said, then shook Mac's hand. "And my brother, Zeek." She said, motioning over to her brother. He was tall and looked like he was a football player, which he was, in high school and college. He was twenty two now.

He nodded to Jude, eyeing his cut. "You're in a gang? You're dating a guy in a gang?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Zeek? What are you talking about? That is not a nice thing to say about someone." Her mom said.

"What? He is. That vest is a symbol of a biker gang in LA. I saw them all the time when I lived there." He said, shrugging.

"Madelyn?" Her dad asked, appalled.

"It's not a gang, it's a motorcycle club. And yes, I am part of it. I'm the president." Jude said, matter-of-factly.

Madelyn sighed at the same time her dad shook his head. "You can't date a gang member, Madelyn, what are you thinking?" He asked, loudly.

"Can we please go inside to talk about this?" She asked. Her dad glared at her before her mom ushered them inside.

"We're going to go back to the hotel." Mac said, taking Katie's hand.

After Maddie said bye to Katie and Mac said bye to Jude, they left, and Maddie and Jude went inside.

"Would you like to explain to us what is going on?" Her dad asked, before looking over at Jude with a glare.

"I met Jude at a club I went to with Katie." She said softly.

She took a deep breath, trying to find the easiest way to tell the story.

"I liked him and we... Went to his house and then the next day I went home, and we didn't talk after that for a few weeks, and then I found out that I was pregnant, and I told him, but I thought that he would just say that he didn't care. I knew that he was in the MC and I was... Scared, so I was kind of hoping that he would say he didn't want anything to do with us... But he isn't like that... He's... Protective and sweet and he cares about me and the baby." She said quietly.

"You're pregnant?" Her dad asked, shocked.

She nodded. "Yes." She whispered.

Jude took her hand gently, noticing she was shaking.

Maddie looked up at Jude and he gave her a small smile before looking over at her parents.

"I understand that you probably don't like me very much, but I really don't care." He said as both of her parents glared at him.

"Madelyn, honestly, what do you see in this guy?" Her mom asked, angrily, throwing her hands up in the air.

She rolled her eyes. "I already told you. He is sweet, and he cares about me and the baby. I like him." She whispered.

"You just said five minutes ago that you were afraid of him." Her dad said, exasperated.

"I was, when I first found out who he was, but I'm not anymore." She said.

"We'll talk about this later. We're going to dinner as a family. You can see him later." Her dad said before storming out of the room. Her mom and brother followed.

Maddie turned to Jude and smiled. "Sorry about that." She whispered. He smiled down at her. "You have nothing to be sorry for. I'm going to go to the hotel to check in. You have dinner with your family and call me before you go to bed." He said leaning down to kiss her lips gently. She nodded. "Okay." She whispered.
