Bullied boy told me he’d rather die than go back to school, so I called every biker I knew and we showed up at 7 AM the next morning.

I refused to let my biker brother meet my newborn because of his biker lifestyle.
And Sarah, there’s another reason Mom called me. The doctors need your medical history. They believe the condition may run in the family. Mom was afraid you might have inherited it.” I stared at him.
