A/N: Sorry everyone! I've been really busy with a lot of things. Don't really want to go into details. Now however, I am jobless, pregnant, and Directvless...lol...so I will now have plenty of time to write. I haven't worked on this story in awhile so I just worked my butt off on a couple chapters to put up. Thanks for being patient and I hope I still have some readers out there. Thanks again and enjoy :) Please R&R It motivates me :D
I shivered as we pulled into a parking spot in the deserted parking lot outside of Diosa Norte. My mom came to my side of the SUV and helped me out. She gave me an encouraging look and a slight push toward the taunting front doors. I stopped just as I was reaching for the door and spun around and threw myself on my mother. "I can't do this mommy. What if he hates me?" Tears were literally pouring down my face. My mom dug in her purse and pulled out a tissue before she answered me.
She wiped my tears and lightly took my chin in her soft hands and brought my head up so I was looking into her eyes, which were nearly glowing with her wise-ness. "I know you don't want to hear this baby, but maybe you should have thought about that before you took off. Don't be surprised if he is angry with you at first and wants paternity tests. But, I have no doubt in my mind that he will come around, if not for you, definitely for his kids. I don't see him as the type to run from his responsibilities. Everything will work out for the best baby, because it has to."
I took the tissue from my mom and finished wiping my eyes. My mom informed me she would be with Nero in his office until I was ready to return to the clubhouse. We both knew even if everything went well there was no way in hell I was going to be able to ride back on his bike, I was just too big. I took a deep breath and pulled open the doors and went inside. I admired how nice and professional everything looked and couldn't believe this place was little more than a glorified whore house. My mom showed me to the door of the room he was in and left me on my own.
I didn't know whether I should knock or just barge in. I figured it really wouldn't make much difference so I decided to just barge in. I opened the door as quietly and slowly as I could when I had it open enough for me to slip my huge self through I saw him, laying on his side in the bed, under the covers, and shirtless. My breath caught in my throat and I almost choked. As I walked toward the bed I noticed he was sleeping. Seeing as I had come this far, I wasn't going anywhere until I talked to him so I sat myself on the opposite side of the bed facing away from him.
I didn't want to wake him up so I just decided to talk to him, even though he was asleep. "I'm sorry Juice, so sorry. I don't know what I was thinkin' I've been nothing but selfish the last nine months. I should never have left without an explanation. I was eighteen, scared, and stupid. I should never have left, I know that now. I may have messed up the best thing that has ever happened to me. I wanted nothing more than to spend the rest of my life with you and I fucked it all up, as usual. That should be my middle name, Mackenzie "Fucked It Up" Teller, that's me."
I felt the bed shift behind me and I froze, he was awake. I sat still as a statue and felt him sit up behind me. "Well why did you leave then Kenzie? Was it cuz of the kid?" I didn't know what to say. Why couldn't I just tell him? This scared little girl wasn't me. I was a fear nothing, kickass, badass biker bitch. So what was it about this handsome, sweet, badass biker man that got me all choked up? "Is he mine? Or Kozik's?"
I already had silent tears falling, but at his question I found myself starting to full-on sob. He put his hand on my shoulder, he must not have noticed my protruding stomach yet, and you couldn't really tell from behind that I was pregnant. "Just tell me Kenzie. He's Kozik's isn't he? That's why you left?" He sounded so calm. He needed to know, there was no way I was going to leave this room without telling him everything.
I took a deep breath and calmed my breathing. "He's yours Juice. Isaac Juan Teller is your son. When I found out I was pregnant I really didn't know whose it was. Three weeks isn't really enough of a gap to be sure. I found out about two weeks after Kozik died and I panicked. I knew he didn't want kids and you and I really hadn't discussed it, I mean we'd only been screwin' around for a month and a half. I also knew if Jax found out he would stop at nothing to figure out who the father was and then kill him."
I paused and snagged a quick glance back toward Juice. He was sitting cross-legged facing my back with his head in his hands. It looked as if he was crying by the way his shoulders were slightly moving. "When he was born there was no doubt in my mind he was yours. He looks exactly like you Juice. I mean he is a spitting image of you. Remember when I came back almost eight months ago? I came back to tell you about him. But I chickened out. I'm sorry. I don't deserve your forgiveness and I understand if you don't want anything to do with me but Isaac and the new baby deserve to have their daddy in their lives."
I felt him jump a little at my last sentence. I realized I hadn't even told him I was pregnant again and then I basically blurted that he had two kids. "New baby, what do you mean new baby? You mean to tell me I have two kids I didn't know about? Are you fucking serious Mackenzie? How goddamn selfish can you be? Look at me!" He was shouting by the end and grabbed my shoulder to turn me toward him. I quickly pulled from his grasp and jumped off the bed as fast as my belly would allow. When I turned back to face him I saw his face fall into look of utter confusion. "Did you think I was going to hurt you?"
"I don't know what I thought but obviously you can't go around grabbing and pulling on me." I waved my hands up and down my swollen abdomen. I watched as realization dawned on his face. I walked toward where he now sat on the edge of the bed where I had been sitting. I stood close enough where my pregnant belly was about a foot from his face. "This is the new baby." I placed one hand on my stomach and grabbed one of his and put it on my stomach also.
I could feel the baby moving all around so I placed my hand on his and moved it to where he could fell the movements and pushed his hand a little. His look of confusion changed almost immediately to pure joy. I hadn't seen his eyes light up like that since I walked through the doors of the clubhouse seven and a half months ago. "This one is mine too? Are you sure? Is it a boy or a girl? How long till it comes out?" He stood up and wrapped me in as tight of a hug as was possible in my current condition. When he let me go he sat back down on the bed and patted next to him for me to follow suit.
His mood had changed rapidly, but his ADHD was pretty severe when he doesn't take his meds, so this didn't come as a surprise. "Yes, this one is yours too, for sure. I haven't been with anyone since I left a year and a half ago. We conceived when I was back for that one night. I don't know if it's a boy or a girl. I wanted to wait to find out until after I told you, so I scheduled us an appointment at St. Thomas for tomorrow to find out. I'm thirty two weeks, so ideally he or she will come out in eight weeks. Isaac was born only a few days before his due date and I haven't had any complications so far so there is no reason to think this one will come early. But anything can happen."
The next thing I knew Juice had put his hand on the side of my face and pulled me in for a kiss. Oh my God! His lips were to die for! They were just as soft and juicy as I remember. My hands immediately went to his chest, where they always had. I moaned quietly when I felt that it was bare. Right before the kiss deepened to the point of no return I realized what was going on and pushed him away gently. "What is this Juice? I come back after a year and a half and tell you that you have not one, but two kids and you just kiss me like everything is okay? I don't understand."
"I dunno Kenzie. I love you. I always have, even after you left. I was so angry with you, but I still loved you. I've never felt this way before about anyone. And the fact that you have had one of my kids and another is on the way makes me ecstatic. I honestly thought Isaac was Kozik's and that was why you had left. I had hoped and wished he was mine and when you told me he was I was so happy. I'm still angry that you left instead of staying here and letting me be there for the kid from the beginning. Kozik's or mine I would have raised him with you. If he would have been Kozik's I would have treated him like he was my own after Kozik died, because I love you Mackenzie."
I didn't know what to say so I just pulled him back in for another kiss. It wasn't long before the kiss deepened and I found my shirt being pulled over my head. I couldn't believe this was about to happen and I couldn't be happier. I had missed him so much. We hadn't even technically been together back before I left and hadn't been messing around for very long either. But I knew I loved him from the first time we had slept together.
