28.

"A baby? No, what do you mean. I have been taking precautions Tara. You helped me get on them remember?"

"Yeah, but you had a cold a while back. Did you take something for it?"

"Yeah, just some over the counter stuff."
"Yeah, that's what I thought. It makes contraceptives null and void."

"Oh shit." she said and then she looked up. "Does Happy know?"

"Yeah." Jax said. She looked into Jax's eyes and she knew that was why he left. She started crying harder.

"You are going to make yourself sick Lisa. It's going to be okay." Tara said.

"I need to be alone."

"But." Tara started to say.

"Please." Lisa asked. They nodded their head and left the room.

"I'm going to kill him." Tara said as she walked out of the room angrily.

Jax knew that Tara meant it. He just hoped Happy got his head worked out soon. Lisa was going to need him.

It was very late but Happy went to the window. He wanted to see her but he didn't want her to see him. Not yet. He looked in and saw she was asleep. He silently opened the door. Walking close to the bed he looked down on her and for the first time in his whole life he had tears in his eyes. He knew he needed to leave before she woke up. He whispered "I love you Lisa." and then he left. Once she heard the door close she opened her eyes. Tears rolling once again as she lay there.

A week had gone by and Happy showed up at the garage. He asked Jax to send him to do something. Anything that would get him out of town for awhile.

"So you come back to run again. I never thought of you as a coward." he said to Happy angrily.

"I just need more time." Happy said.

"Lisa doesn't have that Happy. What do you think she is going throug?. She never expected to have a child this soon either. But she has to face it."

"So she's not going to get rid of it?"

"Is that what you want? Is that what you're hoping for?" Jax started yelling now.

"NO, no, that's not what I want. I don't know what I want." He yelled back.

Jax knew how messed up Happy was and part of him understood it. He had felt the same way when Abel was born, so he decided to do what Happy asked. He sent him to the Tacoma charter to help them with some problems they were having. "If you get hurt or god forbid killed, I will dig you up and kill you again." he said to Happy then stormed out of the room.

Happy went to the house because he had to get some of his things. He wished he had asked Tara to get her out of the house while he was there but the last time he saw Tara she refused to even look at him. He took a deep breath and walked in. Not seeing her anywhere he hurriedly went to the room. Opening the door he didn't see her there either. He started throwing things in his bag as fast as he could hoping against hope that he could get out before she saw him. But that wasn't going to happen. He looked up to her gasp. She had been taking a shower and that is why she didn't hear him come in. He had been so busy trying to hurry to get out he never heard the shower.

"What the hell are you doing here?" she asked angrily.

He didn't respond. He turned away from her and tried to hurry faster. He was ready to walk out the door. She grabbed his arm.

"So we are back to that huh? You can't say hi, you can't say bye, you just leave. I should have figured this out a long time ago. Well you go Happy, you go with the knowledge that I am carrying your child. We will be just fine without you." she yelled at him. Releasing his arm she saw him turn and walk away. Hearing the front door shut and the roar of his bike she fell softly to the floor crying. She lay there for a long while. When no more tears could fall she finally got up off the ground. She knew how angry Tara was at Happy and she didn't want to cause anymore. She didn't want to get Lyla involved more it might mess with her and Opie. She decided she was going to call Tara and tell her she had to go clear up some more stuff from her parents will. She had a hard time getting Tara off the phone with her wanting to go with her, but she remained firm that she needed to do this herself. Then she crawled up in her bed and went to sleep.

Another week had gone by. She answered her phone each and every time Tara called and pretended she was in Alabama. She remained upbeat to Tara so she wouldn't worry. Then each time she buckled back down in her bed. Then one day she heard her door open downstairs. She didn't know who it could be. Happy was gone. She managed to try to hide so she could see who it was without them seeing her. When she looked down she saw Tara. Tara was bringing in groceries since she thought Lisa would be back in a day or two. She started to head down to let Tara know she was there when her legs gave out beneath her. She had eaten but not much. Just the few items she had left here in the house. When she fell it made a loud noise. Tara looked up seeing Lisa on the ground. Running to her she pulled out her phone and called an ambulance.

"What the hell are you doing? You look like you haven't eaten for weeks." Tara said muttering to herself.

"I'm sorry."

"When did you get back?"

"I never left." Lisa said and then passed out.

"Oh my God." Tara said holding her in her lap waiting on the ambulance. She then called Jax.

Jax arrived when they were loading Lisa in the ambulance.

"Jax, you get that son of a bitch and you tell him I need to speak with him now." Tara said through gritted teeth.

"Tara."
"I mean it Jax. You get him here now." she said and got in her car and sped off after the ambulance.

Jax stood there next to his bike and then pulled out his phone. He gave the order for Happy to return asap. Then he too followed the ambulance.

Tara once again was sitting next to Lisa's bed. She watched as the I.V. Lines were rehydrating her friend.

"I'm so sorry Lisa. I got you into this mess." Tara cried.

"This was my choice Tara. I'm grateful to have such a close friend as you. Please don't cry. I did this to myself. I promise I will take better care of myself. I was just hurting so bad you know?"

"Yeah, but you have to think about the baby Lisa."
"I know."

They looked up when the door was slammed open.

"What the fuck have you been doing? Are you trying to kill our child?" Happy yelled in the room. Both girls were stunned then Lisa took control.

"Who the fuck do you think you are? You leave and don't say a word to me for weeks. Then come storming in here acting like you give a flying fuck about my child. Get the hell out of here." she yelled back.
