Chapter 1 – Jailhouse Baby
They were 16 when he asked her to wear his crow. He loved her so much and wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. Mia wasn't stupid. She was raised in the MC life. She knew there were going to be hardships and that in their life, the club always came first.
Mia couldn't say no to him. No matter what the hardships, she knew that she would deal with it. But she never expected to go through this alone. She never expected to be 9 months pregnant and alone. She wanted Jax to enjoy and experience these monumental life moments with her, but he was locked up.
She didn't blame him. She knew it was hard for him and that he felt guilty for leaving her to deal with this alone. She tried her hardest to put on a brave and happy face whenever she went to see him.
Being Jax Tellers wife and Old Lady is not the easiest thing in the world but Mia handled it beautifully. The guys all wondered sometimes how she managed being a doctor and club life at the same time.
Jax was grateful for his wife. He worshiped the ground she walked on. No one else would put up with his shit, his mother, the dangers of his life and do it all with a smile.
It was not hard to decide to have a family and have kids. The last time he was in this situation was 5yrs ago when he had a beautiful baby boy. To say he was pissed for having missed the birth of his son was an understatement. It was his first child and he and Mia were newly married. He wanted to be there for her but he wasn't. He promised to try harder and not miss anything like that again but here he was in the same situation.
He was locked up for another couple weeks and he was going to miss the birth of his new baby. Mia has been visiting him at every opportunity but when she got too pregnant, she couldn't make the trip to see him anymore. His mom, Jenny and his lawyer kept him updated on her status. They brought him pictures for every month when she was pregnant to keep track of her pregnancy.
Jax was on edge. He was in his cell pacing. His lawyer told him that Mia had gone into labor hours ago but he still hasn't heard anything. The guys knew that Jax was nervous. The guards came over and arranged them all into a conference room. Their lawyer was waiting for them in the room.
Jax immediately pounced on her, "what's going on with Mia? Did she have the baby?" he asked.
Heather shook her head, "not yet. I talked to Gemma 20 min ago and they were still in the thick of it. She did say that Mia wanted to pass on that she loves you, wants you to be careful and get out of here" she passed on the message.
Jax smiled, "tell her I love her too. I love her so much and I am proud of her. Is that why we are here?" he asked, while sending Mia another message.
Heather shook her head, "no, I have a gift for you" she pulled out a laptop of her bag and placed it on the table.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Mia was asleep when she felt a cramp in her abdomen. Being 9 months pregnant, she knew that any pain was something to be concerned about. She got up and all of a sudden felt like she wet the bed. She knew what that meant.
She got up, changed into some yoga pants and one of Jax's shirts before calling Gemma and her sister.
Jennifer was asleep in the guest room, so Mia walked down the hall and shook her awake. "Jenny, wake up" she shook her shoulder.
Jennifer looked at her sister with bleary eyes, still asleep, "Mia, what's going on?" she asked.
Mia smiled and sat at the edge of the bed, "my water broke, it's baby time" she replied.
That got Jennifer to wake up and jump up and look at her sister excited. "Seriously? Are you okay? We need to go" she jumped out of bed and threw on some sweats over her clothes.
Mia just sat back and watched as her sister ran around the room with her head cut off. "My water broke like 5 minutes ago. I am not that far into the delivery. We need to call Gemma and get the guys here to watch Abel at the hospital" Mia reasoned.
Jennifer looked at her sister and nodded, "yeah, that's a good idea. You go get the baby bag and your stuff. I'll wake up Abel and call Gemma" she said, leaving to wake up her nephew before Mia could say anything else.
Mia just shook her head and laughed. She was sad that Jax wasn't there and her family knew it. She knew deep down that Jenny was just trying to distract her and get her mind off the sadness. She appreciated all their help throughout her pregnancy and especially now. Besides, if nothing else, this was going to be an entertaining delivery.
Gemma, Opie, Kozik, Sack, Phil and Piney were at her house within minutes of each other. Gemma was more excited than anyone. She was excited to have another grandbaby to spoil. She also understood better than anyone what Mia was going through. She knew what it was like to give birth without your husband by your side. She wanted to do everything she could to make sure this was good for Mia.
They kept the prospect with Abel at the house until the baby was born. They didn't want to wake him up just to have him wait at the hospital, so Gemma told the prospect she would call with news when it was time to visit his new sibling.
Mia was all settled in bed, hooked up to various machines, a belt around her belly to monitor the baby, content as can be. Jenny and Gemma stayed with her for the epidural so she was starting to feel numb a bit, but that didn't stop the pain.
Through each contraction, Gemma and Jenny took turns holding her hand, rubbing her back, wiping sweat off her forehead, feeding her ice chips. It made Mia very grateful to have them here with her but they knew that she was missing Jax.
"God this is horrible. I don't remember it being this bad with Abel" Mia wiped her tears as a contraction passed.
Gemma smirked, "that's because you were 18 when you had Abel" she teased.
Mia laughed, "shut up, it's not like we planned to have a baby that young, but after getting his crow, Jax became like a freaking nympho around me. I used to be sore all the time, he never had enough" she replied.
She was so emotion and hormonal, she really didn't care what was coming out of her mouth.
Jenny smirked, "can you imagine what it would have been like during your pregnancy if he was here? You wouldn't have been able to keep your hands off of him with all your hormones out of whack" she added.
Mia nodded sadly, "I know, that's the one thing I regret about him not being here while I was pregnant. He didn't get to experience the pregnancy things with me, twice" she replied.
Opie smirked from the couch, "there's always a third time" he stated.
Mia glared, "you talk to me about a third time when you have your body ripped in half by a watermelon coming out of a golf ball sized hole" she argued, causing all the guys to burst out laughing.
Opie took in what she said and looked like he wanted to be sick, "yeah on second thought, screw Jax" he took back what he said in a heartbeat. That was a visual he did not want to have of his sister-in-law.
After another couple hours of waiting, walking the halls and bouncing on exercise balls, the doctor finally told her that she was ready to have this baby.
"Mia, you are 10cm and ready to start. I am going to get gowned up and let you say your goodbyes" Tess told her before leaving the room to get ready.
The guys each took a turn to hug and kiss her, wishing her good luck on their way out. They didn't even want to imagine what was about to happen in there.
Before leaving, Opie pulled out a laptop and placed it on the table by the bed. "Me, Heather and Jenny cooked this up before he got pulled in, I hope you like the surprise" he said as he set up some things before finally turning the screen around to face her.

Jax scene
Mia scene
Jax watched as Heather put the laptop down on the table in front of all of them. She started to type some things and he heard apps opening and stuff. He really wasn't paying attention until he heard his best friends voice through the laptop.
"Me, Heather and Jenny cooked this up before he got pulled in, I hope you like the surprise"
Jax looked up at Heather confused before she turned the laptop around and he saw Opie on the screen.
Opie smiled at the look of shock, surprise and confusion on his friends face before he shook his head and turned the laptop around to face the bed.
Mia looked at the laptop and couldn't help but start crying when she saw Jax and the guys on the screen.
Jax flew forward and pulled the laptop closer when he saw Mia on the screen. He could see that she was in the hospital. He saw his mom and Jenny next to her.
"Mia" he said, tracing her on the screen.
"She can hear you. We thought since you couldn't physically be there for the birth of your baby, you could watch it happen and be there virtually" Heather explained.
Jax saw Mia crying into her hands. He knew that this had to be hard for her. He let her down again but he wanted to make the best out of the situation.
"Mia, princess can you hear me?" he asked.
Mia wiped her tears and smiled at the screen, "Hi baby, I can hear you. Are you okay? I miss you so much" she said as tears ran down her cheeks.
Jax smiled, "I miss you too beautiful. God, you are so beautiful. I am so sorry I'm not there. You have no idea how much I miss you and how much I wanted to be there with you right now" he replied. He knew the guys were behind him listening and watching, but he didn't care. This was his moment with his wife.
Mia glared, "don't do that Jackson Teller. This is not your fault. Come on, let's not dwell on the past. We are here now and we are having a baby" she said.
Clay put his hand on Jax's shoulder, squeezing in comfort. He knew his step-son felt bad about missing this. "Listen to her son, don't dwell on the bad. Make this opportunity a good one" he said.
Before anyone could say anything else, Tess came back into the room all gloved and gowned up. "Are we ready to have this baby?" she asked.
Mia smiled and nodded, "yeah Tessy, let's do this" she said. Seeing Jax, seeing him on the computer. Knowing that he was going to be there with her, she knew that she could do this.
Tess helped Mia put her feet up in the stirrups and put the blanket over her knees. Jenny rearranged the computer so Jax could see Mia's face the whole time.
"Okay Mia, on the next contraction, you can start pushing. Just take shallow breaths and bear down as much as you can until I tell you to stop" she instructed. Sure they were doctor friends and she was happy for her friend, but she still needed to do her job.
Mia nodded, "okay, let's do it" she said as Jenny helped her get situated and grabbed her hand. Jenny was on one side and Gemma was on the other. They held her hands and were ready to help her through this.
When Mia felt her next contraction, she started to feel her stomach cramp and she couldn't help but wince. Her sister and Gemma knew to be ready to help.
Taking a deep breath, she braced herself for the wave of pain tearing through her body as she started to push, bearing down as much as she could. She knew she was squeezing the life out of Jenny and Gemma's hands.
Jax couldn't keep his eyes off the screen. He was amazed at the sight before him. His wife was amazing. "Come on baby, you are doing great" he reassured every once in a while when he could see her falling.
He counted with Jenny when she started counting. He was sitting on the edge of his seat, his palms sweating. He could see her getting tired.
"You're doing really good baby. Keep pushing for me" he said.
Jenny wiped her sister's forehead, "You're doing great sissy. A couple more pushes and you'll have your baby" she comforted her sister.
"The baby is crowning Mia. Take a deep breath and brace yourself. On your next contraction, give it your all. Your baby is almost out" Tess updated her.
"You're almost there honey" Gemma said as she fed her some ice chips.
Mia shook her head, tears rolling down her face, "I can't do this JJ, I can't push anymore. I'm all alone. I am doing this alone. I can't do this anymore. Please, I'm so tired" she cried. She was exhausted. She didn't know if she had it in her.
Jenny turned to the computer and gave Jax a pointed look.
Jax wasn't stupid. He recognized the look in Jenny's eyes. He knew it was his time to man up and help his wife get through this.
"Come on baby girl, you can do this. You are stronger than this. You can do this. I am right here with you. We are doing this together. You can do this. Take a deep breath and push" he said.
Mia closed her eyes and did just what her husband told her to do. She took a big deep breath and squeezed her sister's hand as she beared down and pushed.
"The head is out!" Tess said. "Come on Mia, give me another really good push and you'll have your baby. You can do this" she reassured.
"Come on baby, you can do this. We almost have our baby. You're doing great" Jax said.
Mia gasped as she rested her head back, trying to catch her breath. She took one more big breath before pushing harder than she has ever pushed before and gave it her all. She could feel the baby slide out of her as she bared down and pushed one last time.
Mia sagged back against the bed, exhausted, smiling as she heard the cry ring out in the room. She couldn't keep the smile off her face or the tears from rolling down her cheeks. She was so happy. She was even more happy that Jax got to see it and go through it with her in some way.
"Congratulations Mama, you have a beautiful baby girl" Tess said.
Gemma and Jenny started crying. Jenny followed the baby to the side as she got cleaned up and they started to take her vitals.
"You did great Mia, 6lbs and 9oz. Baby Teller is 21 inches long. Lungs sound good, heal stick normal. Baby is all good" the nurse called out all her stats.
Mia laughed, "she's perfect," she said as she heard the guys through the computer cheering and clapping, congratulations running through the screen.
"That's funny as hell, Jax Teller having a baby girl" Jenny teased.
"Shut up Jenny" Mia said, "be nice" she added.
Jenny came over carrying the baby, "I think someone wants to say to their mama" she said as she transferred the baby into her sister's arms.
Mia snuggled her daughter, taking her in. "Hi princess, don't listen to your Aunt Jenny, she's just being silly. You are my perfect little angel. You are going to have your uncles, aunt, brother and your daddy wrapped around your finger. My little miracle" Mia spoke to her daughter as she ran her finger across her daughter's cheek.
Mia raised her arms and twisted a little towards the computer, pulling the blanket from her face so there was a clear view.
"Say hi to daddy" she said.
Jax couldn't help the tears in his eyes. When he heard the cries of his daughter, he couldn't help but bow his head and cry. He was so happy. He couldn't help it. None of the guys said anything. They understood.
Clay patted him on the back, "congratulations son" he said. The guys all patted his back congratulating him and cheering him on.
It was then that he heard what the doctor said, "congratulations Mama, you have a beautiful baby girl."
The words just played over in his head like a song on repeat. Baby girl, he had a baby girl. He couldn't believe he was a dad to a little girl.
When he heard Mia talk to their daughter, he looked up and couldn't help the proudness that swept over him. He couldn't believe how amazing his girl was to give him this gift.
He watched as Mia lifted the little girl up in her arms, pulled the blanket down so he could really see his daughter.
He reached forward and traced the little girls image on the screen, "Hi princess, it's daddy" he said, smiling when the little girl made some noises.
"She looks just like you Jax, she has your nose and your chin" Mia said as she took in her daughter.
"That's okay, I'll take the looks, just as long as she follows her mom's lead in the smarts department" he replied causing the guys behind him to start laughing in agreement.
The guys were tripping over themselves as they pushed their way into the room. They were excited to see the baby.
"What is it?" Kozik asked as he walked into the room.
"It's a beautiful baby girl" Gemma said.
"Ha, I knew it was a girl" Kozik cheered as he collected money from all the guys.
They all had a bet going on when she first told them that she was pregnant about the sex of the baby. Every appointment they kept asking her if she found out what she was having.
They all groaned when she told them that she was going to wait to find out what she was having until she had the baby. She said that since she was so young the first time and didn't really know what was going on, she wanted to do things different now that she was older and understood. The guys didn't really care, they just wanted to see who was going to win the bet.
Abel was the most excited. While everyone else stood around the bed, leaving room for the computer, Abel came in with the prospect carrying balloons, flowers and a teddy bear.
"Hi mama" he greeted as he crawled onto the bed.
Mia smiled at him, "hi buddy, look who else wants to say hi. It's your new baby sister" she said showing him the new baby.
Abel smiled at his new sister and caressed her hands, "hi baby, I'm your brother" he greeted before looking up at his mom, "what's her name mama?" he asked.
"Well daddy and I decided to pick a name after grandma Kate. So, what do you think of the name Katherine Elizabeth Teller?" she said looking at the computer.
Abel followed his mom's gaze and got excited to see his dad on the computer. "Hi daddy" he waved before turning back to his mom, "I think that's a great name mama. I think grandma would like it too" he said.
"I agree with Abel, that's beautiful honey" Gemma said. She was so happy for her son and their family.
"I'm sure mom is watching us right now and looking down on this little princess. She would be so proud of you"
Jax smiled at the sight of his family sitting there all together. They were his whole world. He felt guilty. They were all there and he was missing it.
"HI buddy, are you being good for your mom?" he asked.
Abel nodded furiously, "yeah daddy, I helped mama just like you told me" he reassured his dad that he was being good and doing just what Jax asked him.
Jax nodded with a smile, "that's really good buddy. I need you to do one more thing for me" he said.
Abel turned fully to the computer, ready to do whatever his dad said. "Okay daddy, what can I do?" he asked.
Jax smiled at his eagerness, "okay buddy, now that Katie is here, your mom is going to need extra help around the house. I need you to be a good boy and help her out. Clean up your toys, don't give her a hard time in the morning and listen to her okay. Make sure you help out with Katie when your mom needs help" he instructed.
Abel nodded, "I promise daddy. I miss you. Are you going to come home soon?" he asked.
Jax nodded, "yeah, I'll be home soon. I promise buddy. I have to go now okay. I love you guys so much. Mia I am so proud of you baby. I'll see you soon when I come home" he said before it was time to shut the computer.
Heather came back in and took the laptop. Jax was sitting with his head in his hands, taking it all in. Seeing what Mia was going through without him, seeing her deal with all this was getting to him. Especially missing the birth of his daughter.
Heather packed up the computer and sighed before handing Jax an envelope. "The guards will be in to escort you all back to your cell but first, Mia asked me to give you this" she said handing the gift.
Jax wiped his eyes, took the envelope confused. He thought the skype session was the surprise. He opened the envelope to see a Congratulations card. He opened the card and couldn't help the tears that appeared at the sight.
It was a picture of Mia, Katie and Abel on the hospital bed. He looked at her confused. He saw the whole birth. When did they have time to do this. "When did they take this?" he asked.
Heather smiled, "Jenny took the picture and emailed to me while you were watching the birth. She sent the card from home. I just had to print the picture, put inside and give it to you after everything was over" she stated.
He nodded in understanding. That was his girl. Always one step ahead of him. Here she was going through this life changing experience alone, without him and she was thinking of his needs.
He smiled up at Heather, "thank you for this. You don't know how much this means to me" he said referring to what she did for him today.
She smiled and nodded, "it was my pleasure to help. Congratulations Jax" she said before taking her leave.
Jax turned to the guys and smiled, "I have a little girl" he said with a silly smile on his face.
Clay smiled, "that's great son. She's going the most protected girl on the planet" he said regarding his granddaughter.
"You think, I pity the fool who thinks he can come around our princess" Tig added.
They all made a silent promise the moment they saw Katie that she was their princess and they were going to do everything in their power to keep her safe and happy. No one was going to hurt her or they were done for.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Hospital
After the guys left, Gemma took Abel to her house to watch over him while Mia was in the hospital. Due to her high risk pregnancy and medical history, they wanted to keep her in the hospital for a couple days just for observation.
Jenny staid with her sister to help her in the hospital. After they took the baby to the NICU and washed her up, they brought her back for her dinner.
Jenny stood next to her sister's bed listening carefully as the OB nurse helped Mia latch the baby to her chest.
Mia took the top of her gown down on one side and situated her daughter in the position against her chest to latch on. It didn't take long for Katie to latch on like a champ and begin feeding. Mia held her daughter against her and rested against the pillows as her daughter fed.
"Damn she has Jax's mouth too" she said referring to way her daughter was forcefully sucking.
Jenny snorted, "you are so gross" she laughed at her sister.
She sat next to her sister and rested against the pillows, really taking her sister in. She was so proud of her. Not only for doing this alone but for doing it alone and not complaining. She had accomplished so much in her life and now she had a beautiful family as a reward.
"Are you okay Mia? I mean for real. No bullshitting" she asked.
Mia sighed and shrugged, "it's out of my control JJ, what am I supposed to do? You know me. Whatever life throws my way I just take it and work my way through it. There is nothing I can do about this situation. Do I want him here with me and out kids, absolutely but he can't be? I know it wasn't his choice, it's just the life we live. I knew what I was getting into when I married Jax. I'm not going to try and change him. You know me. I'm not like that" she replied.
Was this hard on her, no doubt but she wasn't the type of women to try and change the man she married just because things got rough. She knew who she was marrying and she wouldn't change him for anything.
"Yeah I get that. Well who needs Jax. You have me and Gemma. You know she is going to be there to help you with Katie and Abel" she reassured her sister that she wasn't alone.
Mia smiled, "Thanks JJ, I don't know what I would do without you. You have always been there for me" she said referring to her sister. They went through some tough times when their parents died, but they were always there for each other. They always looked out for each other.
"Come on Mia, you know I am always going to be there for you. You are my baby sister. I am always going to be there for you and my niece and nephew. Don't worry about that. You just rest right now" she said as Mia detached her daughter.
Mia tied her gown back in place as Jenny took her niece and put her back in the basinet. The nurses came back to take the baby back to the NICU for her bath. They wanted to wipe away all the germs she could possibly have caught from her many visitors.
With everyone gone, Jenni saw her sister fighting to stay awake. She would be there for the baby if she needed anything. She wasn't leaving her sister in the hospital alone.
"Mia, I'm calling Tess for another pain shot. You need to sleep and don't rest. Don't worry about Katie, I'm here. I'm not going anywhere" she said.
Mia smiled at her sister and nodded. She didn't have the energy to argue. The nurse gave her the medication for the pain and she was out like a light. She couldn't fight it anymore. The exhaustion caught up to her.
Jenni peaked over the basinet to talk to her niece. "Hi princess, don't worry okay. You may be a jailhouse baby with your dad in the slammer but that doesn't mean you are alone. You have a lot of people in your corner kiddo. We are going to make sure you grow up happy and loved. I promise" she leaned in and kissed her forehead before getting comfortable on the chair besides her sister's beside.
