I hope everyone is going to enjoy this second half just as much if not more than the first. This is going to be one drama filled story! R&R!
Chapter One
Nikki walked into the house, cradling her newborn infant in her arms. Juices hand resting on her hip. Both parents smiling wide, no doubt they were proud. After almost eleven hours of labor, Nikki had delivered a healthy and beautiful baby girl named Willow Nicole Ortiz.
Juice and Nikki had agreed upon the name since that tree represented so much love and passion, and Nicole after her mother. If it would have been a boy it would have been named after Juice, Juan Carlos.
Nikki lay her sleeping newborn into her crib. She couldn't even picture herself as a parent, and now, she has the responsibility of caring for this tiny human. The feeling was overwhelming in a good way. Her motherly instincts had kicked in as soon as she heard her baby cry for the first time. She had gone as far as trying to get up off the bed, and asking, "Whats wrong? Is my baby okay?" The doctors and nurses assured her everything was fine, the baby crying was something that every baby does when they are brought into this world, it was a normal thing, a good thing. The only way she calmed down was once she actually had her daughter in her arms. She looked over her fingers, counted them all, ten fingers, counted all ten toes, two eyes, two ears, a head full of beautiful brown hair, two arms, two legs, and over all a beautiful baby that looked like a perfect blend of both Nikki and Juice.
The baby's room was decorated in pink walls, pictures of owls and trees surrounding the room, pink owl crib sheets, and everything just pink.
Juice hugged Nikki from behind, kissing her neck, "I love you."
"I love you too."
"C'mon, let's go get some rest while Willow is sleeping."
Nikki nodded, resting her head on Juices shoulder as they walked out of the baby's room together. Once in the hallway Juice lifted Nikki into his arms bridal style. She giggled, and buried her face into his neck, placing soft kisses there as he carried her to bed.
They laid down together, just holding each other, taking everything in, the fact that they were now parents still trying to grasp their young brains.
It was around one in the afternoon when Juices phone rang, and he sighed looking at the caller ID, it was Chibs. He didn't want to answer it, but he couldn't ignore it either. Nikki nodded, "It's ok, go take the call." She had learned quick that the club was just as much part of their lives as they were to each other. It was hard at first, getting adjusted to the constant business that was SAMCRO, there were even a few times where it broke Nikki down, and Juice had just chalked it up to pregnancy hormones.
"Thanks baby." He said, kissing her quick, before answering the phone.
"Hello." Juice greeted.
"Juicy boy, we need you something is wrong with the camera's at Diosa. We also have some missing girls." Chibs said over the phone.
"I'll be right there."
They hung up, and Juice made his way back into the bedroom. "Hey babe, I got to run to Diosa real quick, some of the girls are MIA, and the security system I installed isn't working properly."
Nikki's face flashed with concern. Over the past few months the club and Diosa had nothing but problems. Girls going missing, then being returned, the guys would try to find out what happened, but the girls had been drugged the entire time and they couldn't tell anyone anything even if they wanted too. The cameras were being high jacked from another computer, somewhere. Juice was working hard trying to figure out who was behind it, but it wasn't that easy. Whoever was behind this was good, really good. Juice was self-taught, and although he was good, maybe even an expert, this other person or persons were much better than he was.
With a kiss, and a long hug, because Nikki didn't want to let go, Juice was out the door, and headed to Diosa.
Upon hearing the start of up the Harley's engine roaring to life, Willow was startled with a jolt in her tiny body, wailed out the loudest baby cry she could muster. Nikki ran into her daughter's room, scooping her up in her arms, and rocking her back to sleep. Nikki decided that now would be the best time to get some sleep while she could, and went back to her room where she laid down and instantly fell asleep.
