Looking around the boxes that filled their new house, she let out a tired exhale. The men had moved everything in, but a club emergency had them rushing off. She started in the kitchen, unpacking the boxes slowly. Because the kitchen was still a mess, she ordered out for dinner.
After two hours of unpacking, and organizing her kitchen was finally in order. She walked into the livingroom, seeing more boxes, she knew she wouldn't be able to rest, until she had them unpacked. She heard him ride in, looking at the clock, she was surprised to see it was well after midnight. She continued unpacking the room, she felt his arms go around her waist.
"You should be in bed sleeping, it's late."
"I couldn't rest, too much to unpack."
"Don't make me tie you to the bed J! I don't want you over doing it!"
"Just let me get stuff done, then I can rest!"
"Get your ass to bed woman!" He followed her down the hall, smiling hearing her grumble about him being too damn bossy. He stopped at Tatiana's room to peek in, frowning at the empty room. "Where is she?"
"Staying the night at the Winston's."
"With Kenny and Piper?"
"And Ellie."
"I don't like that J."
"She's seven Happy, they are eight and nine year old boys. They all have cooties, you have a few years before you have to worry about it." She turned around to see his face, and started laughing.
"What's so funny?"
"You look like you're ready to ride over to Ope's house, and start shooting little boys." He pulled her into his arms, kissing her.
"I'm glad you're having a boy, I'd loose my fucking mind if I had to deal with two girls."
She let out a laugh, as he started walking her backwards towards the bedroom.

She reached her hand out searching for Happy, all she found was empty bed space. She got up from the bed and pulled on some clothes, going towards the kitchen, she heard voices. It was still early, for it to be good new, she went into the kitchen, finding Hap, Tig, and Chibs. Happy handed her a mug of coffee, she smiled at him, sitting down at the table.
"Boys!" Happy sat down by Jaden, taking her hand.
"I have to go out of town on club business. I'll be gone for two weeks."
"And?" She felt he wasn't telling her something, she stared at him. "What aren't you telling me?"
"I'll be out of contact for that time."
She smiled at Tig and Chibs. "Could you excuse us for a minute?" She watched the two men leave, taking a nice deep breath she slowly exhaled. "Are you out of your fucking mind?"
"Calm down J! It's not good for you or the baby to get upset like this."
"So having my husband gone for two weeks, and not able to call me is? What if I need you?"
"You can call Chibs if you need anything." He leaned in to kiss her. "I love you J!"
"You better, and I love you too." He stood up, pulling her up in his arms.
"I'm going by Opie's to see Tatiana, then Tig and I are hitting the road." He picked up his bag, and walked out the back door. She picked up her coffee cup, taking a drink. She didn't know if she wanted to hurl the cup at the door in anger. or set down at the table and cry. Her hormones were totally raging out of control, she was in her eighth month now.
She needed to get moving, she needed to get ready for the day, unpack the rest of the house, and run errands.

She'd gotten most of the house unpacked by mid-morning, she went to pick up Tatiana, they'd gone grocery shopping, and now they were at home relaxing. Her back was in a knot, she laid in the floor, near a chair. Doing some exercises, she tried to work out the tightness in her back. Hearing a lone motorcycle pulling up in the drive, Tatiana went running to the door.
"Mamma it's Uncle Chibs!"
"Let him in."
"Okay. She had her eyes closed, stilling lying on the floor, she heard boots coming towards her.
"Why are you on the floor love?" He was staring down at her with concern.
"My muscles were knotted up. I'm fine, relax!" She slowly rolled to her side, using the chair to pull herself up, he was beside her. His hand on the small of her back, the other hand going under her arm. "Thank you."
"I need you to pack a bag, for you and princess. The club is going on lock down for a couple of days." She let out a frustrated groan, before heading towards the bedrooms. She could hear Tatiana giggling in the livingroom, Chibs was reading her a story. She quickly got their things together, carrying the two bags into the room. Chibs jumped up, grabbing the bag from her. "You shouldn't be carrying those."
She rolled her eyes looking at him. "We're ready to go." He carried her bags to her vehicle, she helped Tatiana get into the back. She waited for Chibs to pull out of the drive before she pulled out and headed for the club. Just what she wanted to do, was be locked in the club with Gemma.

The parking lot was full when she got there, she opened the back door so Tatiana could get out, she walked to the back to get their bags. Chibs took them from her hands, glaring at her, for trying to carry them. She walked into the crowed clubhouse, seeing Tara standing at the bar, she walked over.
"How are you feeling J?"
"Like a beached whale!"
"You look beautiful!"
"Thanks." She walked back to see where Chibs had put her and Tatiana's bags. Happy had given his room up months ago, so she wasn't sure where they'd be staying.
"You and the little lass can stay in my room, I'll sleep out on the couch."
"I don't want to kick you out of your room."
"Don't argue with me Jaden. I'll be fine." He kissed her on the check. "I had the room cleaned for you two."
"Thanks." She went into his room, and laid down on his bed. She was exhausted, Tatiana was playing with the other club kids, she was going to take a quick nap. Her quick nap turned out to be two hours. She slowly sat up in bed, stretching, feeling refreshed. She ran her fingers through her hair, before going out to the main room of the clubhouse.
Gemma was giving her the evil eye from across the room, she wasn't going to deal with it for the entire lock down. She stormed over towards the Queen of the club. "What the hell is your problem with me?"
"I told you, good old ladies don't run!"
"I've had a reason to run, every time! Get off your high horse and stop judging! You have no idea the hell I've been through!" She closed her eyes, wincing in pain, letting a slow breath out. "Mother fucker! My water just broke!"
