Abel's P.O.V

Today was the day. He was going home. Collecting the few pictures and letters he had with him in his cell, Abel walked out of his cell, following the guard to his freedom. He was beginning to lose hope in Rosen, but the lawyer came through. He was getting out, and just in time to enjoy the last few weeks before his daughter made her presence into this world.

As he signs all the documents and forms, he walks out putting his beanie hat on against the wind. He gets outside and sees the clouds in the sky, thinking how warm he's gonna feel when he wraps his arms around Chelsy.

"Well, well, well, just out of jail and he's already daydreaming," Tommy says laughing as he pulls his brother into a man hug. "I have a wager that smiles about all the wet and moist love you're gonna be getting tonight."

"She doesn't have any idea I'm out, shithead?" Abel asks wanting to surprise Chelsy.

"Not a damn clue. She's with Bobby and mom. Before we drop you off, we gotta discuss some things. We're having Church, then, reuniting you with your girl," Jax says interrupting the both of them. Abel greets him, and then greets everyone else there. Abel pulls on his cut, feeling more like himself, and he gets on his bike, driving towards his future.

...

"You know, this is bullshit," Chelsy said moving away from the front window. She was at Tara's house, dropping off the last of the desserts when Alyssa told her Harry was bringing a girl to the holiday dinner. His date was Taylor, the same girl she and Alyssa met at the boutique.

"Harry's a big boy, and since he asked so nicely, I couldn't tell him no. Besides, I met her, and she's not that bad. She'll be on her best behavior," Tara told them taking the ashtrays and putting them on the patio table. Tara and Chelsy both made it abundantly clear that the guys had to try hard to curve their smoking habit around her.

"We'll see," Chelsy said going to sit in the rocking chair in front of the Christmas tree. Since Chibs died, and they had an unofficial funeral for him, the guys were busy working on what Chelsy assumed was the mother of all retaliations with the way the guys were buzzing with anticipation. Tara told her not to worry about it, to just let it play out, and, most importantly, trust Jax knows what the hell he's doing.

"Hey, ladies," Bobby walked in shedding his thick sweatshirt that shielded him against the cold breeze outside. "Chelsy, how's the little one? I can't believe Abel's gonna raise a girl."

"She's making me feel all kinds of uncomfortable, and she's getting bigger, which is making me want to give birth to my bladder," Chelsy tells him accepting his warm hug.

"Ahhh, she'll be well worth it," Tara tells them. They all sit down on the couch, staring at the Christmas tree before they hear bikes pull up into the driveway. Tara gets up with a determination in her step that wasn't there before. She goes outside, and Chelsy looks through the doorway watching the scene outside. She sees Abel's bike, and confusion sets in. Abel would kill the dumbass that had the balls to ride on his baby. Then her eyes drift to the man she wasn't expecting to be getting off the bike.

"What?" she says quietly and slowly trying to keep her sight clear through the tears.

"It's him, sweetheart, go on," Bobby tells her nudging her lightly with his hand against her back.

She takes a step back and Abel takes his gloves off, placing them on the seat of his bike. He walks towards her, and just as they're within touching distances, she feels something wet and looks down. Her leggings were soaked. Oh, shit, she thinks. Her water just broke.


A/N: Hello, everyone! I am sorry for the late reply, but I have been having an internal struggle because as I reread through the first version of this chapter. I didn't like where things were going SO I had to rewrite it to make sure I was really comfortable with where everything was going. I have a whole lot of free time these next few weeks so expect more frequent updates. The next one will be up by Wednesday, maybe earlier if I can get it done, but Wednesday the latest. Thank you everyone who's been reviewing. I appreciate the feedback. Thanks!
