Chapter 12- Princess Party
She looked up at him, but before she could pull her trick, Katie gave him a great big yawn. "Nice try princess" he laughed as he picked her up and carried her to the crib.
Katie tucked into her dad. Jax put her on his shoulder, so she was cuddled in the crook of his neck as he rubbed her back in circles, trying to relax her. Katie grabbed the collar of his kutte and twisted it in her little fist…then she drew it up under her chin. She locked her dad in, so he had literally nowhere to go.
Jax rocked Katie in her rocking chair for a while, just cuddling with his daughter, relishing in their moment together. Mia noticed that bedtime was taking longer than usual. She walked out of the bedroom and made her way down the hall to her daughter's room.
She stopped at the doorway, staring with a smile at the sight before her. "You need some help there, Teller?" she teased.
Jax smiled at his wife, "she's got me" he explained.
Mia smiled as she came to untangle her daughters grip on her dad's shirt, "in more ways than one Teller" she teased.
She peeled Katie away from Jax and laid the little girl down in her crib. She covered her with her blanket and caressed the strawberry blonde curls, pushing them off the little girls' face.
Jax came up from behind and wrapped his arms around his girl, the other reaching down to caress his daughter's cheek.
"Ready for our cuddling time?" he asked.
Mia smiled up at him, "Do I get to tuck you in?" she whispered back.
Jax's eyes lit up with lust, "and then I get to tuck you in" he replied.
5 months later...
Unlike Jax and Abel, Katie was like Mia. She loved to get up early. She would just sit there in her crib and talk to Cinderella and Prince Charming. Mia thought it was cute, Jax was worried.
Jax and Mia lay in their bed listening to Mia gurgle and babble over the monitor. Their little girl was an early riser for sure, but she was like Mia in the fact that she could keep herself occupied. She loved sitting in her crib, talking to the prince and princess on her wall, or her stuffed animals.
Jax couldn't help but laugh to himself as he nudged Mia in the side. She was laying in bed reading a book on her kindle and going over emails from work.
He pulled Mia close and wrapped his arm around her middle. Mia smiled, putting her phone down and cuddling into her husband. She couldn't believe this day is here. It was like time was flying bye. Today was Katie's birthday. She was a year old and they couldn't believe where the time went.
On the weekend, they were having the huge monster bash with the MC and all their friends and families. Jax has never seen a party like the one his wife pulled off. He thought those MC parties were huge. That was until he married Mia. When they got their families together, it was like they were throwing a wedding.
"Can you believe this day is finally here?" Mia asked.
"I am glad I am here to see her turn one. I don't know what I would do if I had to miss this" Jax vented. Mia was the only one who he could really tell his feelings too.
"I am glad you are here too. We are all glad you are here today to spend with us, celebrating your daughter" Mia replied, curling more into Jax.
They just lay there listening to Katie babbling. It was cute, until they heard one thing in particular that made Jax shoot up in bed.
"Happy birthday to you" they heard Katie's sweet little baby voice.
"What the hell.." Jax started to say.
"Happy birthday to you" Katie said again.
Mia sat at the edge of the headboard smiling at the look on Jax's face. "Did she really just say that? What else has she been saying? Has she been talking like this all week?" he asked Mia.
"Come on Jax, you know that she's been babbling for months now. She's been saying mama, dada, abie, but never anything that made sense until now" Mia reasoned.
"Happy birthday to you" was another time she said it before Jax jumped out of bed. He had enough.
Jax threw the covers and got out of bed. He went down the hall and opened Katie's door. As expected, Katie was sitting in her crib, babbling away. She smiled when she saw her dad in the doorway. "DADA" she squealed, reaching her hands out to him.
"Hey baby girl" Jax said as he walked over and picked her up into his arms. Katie was smiling so hard, you could see her four front teeth. It was contagious. "I love you princess" he leaned over and kissed her cheek.
"Happy birthday to you" she said again.
Jax smiled, "who's birthday is it baby girl?" he asked, bouncing her up and down in his arms.
"EEEEH, EEEEH" she squealed, clapping her hands excited.
Jax laughed, "that's right princess, today's your birthday" he replied. Before the conversation could go on anymore, Abel ran into the room.
"Happy Birthday Sissy!" Abel yelled.
Katie smiled, "Abie" she reached down and hugged her brother. Jax smiled at his kids and lead them into the master bedroom.
"There's the birthday girl" Mia said holding out her arms. Jax handed Katie over, grabbed Abel, then circled around and got back under the covers, his kids between him and Mia.
"Happy birthday princess" Mia kissed her daughters' cheek, before turning to her son, "good morning little man" she leaned over and kissed his cheeks.
"Mama, I'm a big boy now" he protested.
"You are always going to be my baby boy" she reached over and wrapped him in her arms. She cuddled both of her kids. "I am so happy that I have both of my kids with me and we are celebrating sissy's birthday. Ooh, my kids are growing up so much" she squeezed them tight and peppered their faces with kisses.
"Mama" Abel laughed, trying to pull away. Katie on the other hand just laughed and squealed at her mother's actions.
Jax was beyond happy. Sure, he has said it before, but after all they had gone through, he couldn't help but keep saying it. He was beyond grateful for being here with is family. This was what he was looking forward too while he was in jail. He couldn't wait to be here, in this moment.
"So, what are we doing for sissy's birthday?" Abel asked.
"We are having a small dinner at the clubhouse with all the guys and our family. It's just going to be a family dinner. On the weekend we are going to have a big party, but it's the middle of the week and you have school and mama has work" Mia explained.
"Okay mama, we go get ready" he indicated, waiting for Katie to be put on the ground. Mia reached over and let her daughter down, watching as Abel took her hand and led her out of the room. He literally took her hand and led her out to their room.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
On the day of the party, Mia and the girls were running around like crazy. Their house was literally bursting at the seams and that was saying something considering how big their house was. The whole club was literally all there, some of the Devils were there, Tacoma was there, and some other charters were there. It was crazy. There were people everywhere.
Everyone had a filled plate of Mia's home cooking. As usual, when Mia cooked, they had enough food to feed a third world country. Jax just smiled and shook his head at the antics of the guys going at the food as he helped himself to another dish of pasta and a second roast beef sandwich.
Abel was playing with Joe, Kelly and some of the other kids from school and the other couples. They were in the playroom, kneeling at the kids table shoveling their pasta, meatballs and sausage. Abel kept looking around the house and frowning. He really didn't know what to say or do but it was his sisters day.
Jax noticed the look on his son's face and looked at him curious. He was wondering what was going through the little man's mind. He walked over and sat next to his son on the couch in the play room, giving him a nudge.
"What's going on little man? What's with the sour face?" he asked.
Abel looked around the room and took everything in before looking at his dad. "Dad all this pink stuff. It's everywhere. There is pink everywhere. The house looks like it got sprayed with pepto bismol" he stated with a grimace.
Jax couldn't help but laugh, "how do you know what pepto bismol is?" he asked. The kid was way to young to know about that already.
"Mom gave it to Kozik when he got sick. She said it helps your tummy when your tummy is sick" he explained.
Jax nodded with a chuckle. "You are way too smart for own good" he stated as all the men stopped their conversation and just laughed at what just came out of Abel's mouth. The kid was definitely taking after his mom in the smarts department. Abel was the strong silent type though. You would never know unless you really got to know him.
"God kid, you too much like your mom it's scary" Bobby teased.
Jax whacked him, "thank God he's taking after his mom" Jax replied through laughter.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
When it came time for the cake, they brought it to the center of the table in the living room and had all the kids and guys gathered around it. Jax and Mia held Katie and Abel on the chairs, so they could reach the cake.
They dimmed the lights, and everyone started singing happy birthday. Katie smiled and squealed when she heard her favorite song. She started clapping and singing along. She kept looking at her family, going from her mom, to her brother, to her dad, saying "happy birthday to you" over and over again.
It was a huge 3-layer cake with pink frosting and a sparkling crown on the top surrounding a number 1 candle. It was thrilling for Katie. The whole experience. She loved it.
After the cake and ice cream, the entire family crowded into the kitchen and living room to watch Katie open her presents, with the help of her brother, of course. He deemed himself Katie's helper because, according to him, she couldn't open the gifts on her own.
Just like any other time she got presents, she was more interested in the wrapping and the bows than she was the actual presents. It was Abel who got her excited about the presents.
Princess was the theme of the day. There were princess dolls for the bath tub, princess dolls with long hair to comb, princesses that came with their own tea-sets and princesses that came with whole wardrobe changes. There were princess books and princess movies, even little tiaras and dress up dresses for her to wear and match her dolls.
Jenny and Opie were known for spoiling their niece and nephew more than anyone in the club, although they came pretty close to Gemma and Clay. Opie and Jax made their way to the garage to get Katie's gift. Opie and Jenny went all out this time. Jenny was more excited than Katie, that was obvious.
Currently, thanks to Jenny and Opie's reputation in terms of gifts, there was a 250-dollar bet riding on them getting her a dollhouse. The next guess was a life size rocking chair…and then finally a doll cradle. But no one was prepared for what was ahead.
The guys set the present down in front of Katie, watching her eyes light up. Everyone's eyes lit up, especially Abel and Mia. They were shocked.
There were two gifts they set on the floor. The first was for the birthday girl. It was a carriage. But not just any carriage. It was a pink princess carriage built on a tripod metal frame. There was a seat for Katie to ride on while her daddy or her big brother pushes her around. There was a little seat inside for the dollies and a holder for her sippy cut.
In the front of the carriage, there was strapped a pink and white horse with a princess crown with pink mane coming down the side. Katie could drive it with the pink reins, as someone pushed her around.
Katie squealed a high-pitched squeal, clapping her hands and smiling really big. "Hosee, Abie, hosee" she squealed, informing her big brother.
"I see sissy, you have a horse, that's so cool. You can drive that around with me while I'm on my bike" Abel said, hugging his sister.
"We are really proud of you too buddy for sticking with your sister and helping out your mom, so we got you something too" Jax said.
Abel opened his gift and saw a bike just like his dad's bike, but a kiddie version. He screeched, "a bike, daddy a bike" he was jumping up and down with excitement.
Jax smiled at his kids. He scooped Katie up and put her in the carriage. He fastened the seat belt around her and handed her the reins. Then he scooped Abel up and put him on his bike, securing the latch on the carriage to the back of the bike. "Go ahead little man, give your sister a ride. But go slow okay" he warned.
Katie couldn't help but squeal and giggle as her brother started to navigate through the crowd and furniture. The living room was definitely big enough. He let the kids go before turning to Opie and Jenny.
"How in the hell did you pull that off?" Jax asked.
"I've been working on this for months. I needed to get things straight for my little princess" he teased.
"And you, how did you let Jax talk you into a kiddie bike?" Jenny asked her sister.
Mia smiled at her husband, "let's just say he did a lot of convincing" she teased, winking at her husband when everyone started whistling and catcalling.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
At the end of the night, the girls started to help Mia clean up, but she told them to leave it. They got the majority of it and she would do the rest the next day when she had more time.
Jax went around gathering plates and cups and plastic silverware into a trash bag. Mia boxed up all the left overs and put them in the fridge for Jax to take to the clubhouse for the guys to eat.
"Babe, just leave it. I'll get it tomorrow when Jenny comes over" Mia stated.
"I don't think so pretty girl" he replied helping clean up the house.
"Jax, you have a run tomorrow" she reminded him.
He tossed the last of the trash into the bag and tied it off.
"And you've got to take care of two kids" he reminded her. Playing her own game back at her.
Mia crossed the room and stepped into his strong embrace, Jax immediately wrapping his arms around her.
"I'm pretty sure we created a monster today" he stated.
Mia smiled with a laugh, "I'm sure we did, but we did not worse than you do. Now Katie is going to think she's a real princess" she teased.
Jax lifted Mia over his shoulder, slapping her ass, "smartass, you are getting punished for that" he growled, running up the stairs with her over his shoulder.
"Jax, shsh, we are going to wake the kids" she yelled, hitting his back.
"Don't worry, I got the kids locked down. We already had a chat, they know daddy is going to get lucky tonight. Don't worry, they'll cooperate" he teased.
