Chapter 36: Final Preparations
I hit 29 weeks quicker than I thought I would. The twins were still growing pretty good and so far I hadn't had any contractions. Instead of going back to Lodi for any more doctors' appointments, Tig and I decided to just go Sacramento whenever we had an appointment scheduled. We just thought it would be easier than having to explain what had happened at the water park. It also just made sense because they knew I was planning on going to Ireland. I had been staying at home more and more. I just wasn't needed around the clubhouse as much as I used to be. It suited me well enough because I was getting bigger now. I wasn't gigantic yet but still very pregnant. Happy and Chibs had gone to my 3d/4d ultrasound with Tig and I. The twins were closer to 3 pounds and Skye was only an ounce smaller than Alec.
Tig pulled me against him as we lay in the bed. He kissed the side of my face saying, "You need to wake up baby. We've got to call Ravi today and tell him what's going on. Plus Jax, Wendy, Able, Gemma and Kozik are leaving today and we do need to go to the clubhouse because we've got to tell them bye and pretend we aren't going to see them in a week."
I nudged Tig's ribs with my elbow saying, "I know Tig. I'm just so tired. These two are making me exhausted more and more. I know it's because they are growing, but it's still tiring. Plus how am I going to hide this bump now; like I'm clearly pregnant."
Tig smiled against my face saying, "You can wear one of my shirts if you need to; it's late August too so unfortunately you can't run around in a hoodie like I know you'd prefer."
I shake my head at Tig saying, "Babe, not trying to be that person and complain about my weight, but your shirts are a little small for me now. Maybe I've got a sundress that doesn't show my stomach too much. I mean even if it does show a little bit of my stomach I can just say it's how the dress is made." Tig's phone starts playing "This Life" and he answers the phone. I whisper to him, "Who's that?"
He covers the phone's speaker saying, "That's Chibs." He goes back to talking on the phone saying, "Yeah man, the door's unlocked. Y'all just come on it. We're upstairs in the bedroom. Yes we're clothed." Tig hung up the phone and I busted out laughing. He looked at me then asked, "What are you laughing at?"
I shake my head slightly before saying, "Nothing. That was just too funny. I could almost hear the disgust in my brother's voice; even through from the phone. It was just great."
We hear a knock on the door and Happy and Chibs come walking into the bedroom with Happy saying, "We brought you a gift."
I quickly sit up in bed saying, "Oooo. A gift for me?"
Chibs lets out a slight laugh before saying, "Aye lass, but not that kind of gift. Wendy sent over a sundress for you to wear today. She said it didn't show off her stomach and you're smaller than she was."
Tig started laughing from his spot in the bed saying, "Look there baby, problem solved. You've got an outfit to wear for the day."
Happy shook his head at our bantering before saying, "She did say if you've got a pair of maternity shorts, you should wear them under the dress. The bellyband on the pants help support your bump."
Tig chimed up again saying, "She's got a couple pairs. She got mostly long one though, since we're going to Ireland before long and it's colder over there than it is over here. She's also looking forward to being able to get away with wearing hoodies or sweaters and leggings."
I grabbed the pillow beside me and whacked Tig with it before saying, "You hush you're mouth. I just never expected to have to conceal my pregnancy at 29 weeks. Now help me up so I can go shower please. Then I want to get dressed and put on my combat boots. They are just so comfortable right now."
Tig stood up off the bed and helped me up before saying, "Any other requests, Madame?"
I just looked at Happy and Happy busted out laughing before saying, "Do you want oatmeal?"
I gave him a slight nod of my head and say, "If it's no trouble. Alec and Skye really like Uncle Happy's oatmeal."
Happy just grinned at me before leaving the room and headed downstairs to make up some oatmeal for the four of us. Chibs gave me his on smile before saying, "I asked Clay yesterday about ye meeting mum. He said he's going to have me call her when we get there today and sort out the details about our visit. I've talked to mum and asked her if she can ask for about a week to prepare her home for us."
I went to hug my brother before saying, "Thank you so much for doing this for me."
Chibs kissed my forehead then said, "It's no problem lass. I love ye."
Hugging Chibs tighter I say, "I love you too big brother. Now you hang out with your best friends while I go shower."
Chibs gave a light laugh before saying, "Aye you do smell."
I whacked him on his arm before leaving to finally take my shower. When I got out of the shower I ran back into the bedroom with my towel wrapped around me. I put on my undergarments and pulled on the sundress Wendy loaned me. Under the dress I pulled on a pair of black maternity shorts. When I pulled my hair out of the towel I grabbed my brush and began brushing it out. Tig came up behind me and took my brush from my hands. He softly brushed my hair then kissed the side of my forehead before saying, "I love you. You know that right?"
I leaned against him before saying, "I know you do. I love you too."
He sighed against me and said, "Let's go eat and then call Ravi before we head to TM. Sound like a plan?"
I nod my head at Tig and start braiding my hair as we walk down to the dining room where I knew Chibs and Happy were setting the table for our breakfast. We walked in and Happy said, "Oatmeal's ready for you and the twins."
I grinned at him as Chibs said, "Aye let's eat."
We quickly ate our breakfast before I stood up to collect the dishes. Tig stood up quickly and pulled the bowl out of my hand before saying, "Baby, Happy and I have got this. You and Chibs go call your step dad so he knows what is happening over here."
Happy stood up with his bowl saying, "Yeah little bit. We've got this."
I shake my head at him before saying, "Happy, you cooked. I can't let you clean up too."
Tig shook his head at me before saying, "Happy doesn't mind babe. We talked about this while you were in the shower. Now go."
I sighed at him and Chibs stood up and led me to the living room. We called Ravi. He answered on the third ring saying, "Hey darling. How's everything going in charming Charming?"
Chibs and I let out a laugh as I said, "It's going, Ravi. I'm just calling because we've got a little bit of trouble going on that we need help with."
Ravi quickly said, "What's going on, Reba? Is it Major?"
I shook my head and felt a few tears come to my eyes as Chibs said, "Aye, sir. Chibs here. Major was here. He's gone for now, but we're worried and need an out. The plan is to come and visit my mum in a week. Reba's planning on having the twins there. No one down here really knows she's pregnant. Just a few people do, and those people have plans to leave Charming today and head to Belfast under the pretense of visiting SAMBEL."
Chibs placed his arm around me as I said, "Yeah dad. Major found me and he tried to cause me to have a miscarriage. I had just been planning on coming out there when I hit 32 weeks, but back at 23 weeks I went into labor when Major pushed me down at a water park. The doctors in Sacramento were able to stop my labor and told me I needed to take it easy at least until I hit 32 weeks. That's when it's first safe for twins to be born. I did clear the trip with them and everything."
Ravi sighed into the phone saying, "That's fine by me. I'd love to see you anyway. I especially can't wait to meet my grandbabies. What do I need to know about the ones coming to visit this SAMBEL?"
Chibs spoke back up saying, "So ye know how we're SAMCRO, Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club Redwood Original?"
Ravi spoke into the phone with, "I knew you were SAMCRO. I just didn't know what it all stood for."
Chibs and I let out another laugh as Chibs continued with, "Well, SAMBEL is Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club Belfast. It's just a different faction of the Sons."
Ravi said, "Go on, Chibs. I understand that much so far."
Chibs smiled before saying, "Jax is the VP down here. Ye met him when ye were here. He's the one with blonde hair. Anyway he's going on quote end quote Club business. He is pretending that Keith McGee, who's the President of SAMBEL, has asked to meet with Clay. Clay is too wrapped up with something down here, so it defaults to Jax. Jax is going to go to Belfast and meet with him and he's bringing; his mum Gemma, his wife Wendy, their son Abel and Kozik. He's a member of the charter here. They all know Reba's pregnant and want to help in whatever way they can."
I spoke back up into the phone saying, "Yeah. They leave today to help you guys set up for when I get there a week from now. I'm bringing Chibs, Tig and Happy with me. Uncle Bobby said he didn't want to come, because he didn't want to tip Clay off to anything. I mean everyone I'm close too is going. Gemma's new boyfriend, Nero is also going to meet us at the airport to come down with us. He's a very kind person and is well respected with his old gang. He wanted out for his son, but he still helps them out when they need it. Clay doesn't know we are also going to be going to Belfast. He thinks Kaylee lives in a different part of Ireland."
Chibs took over the conversation again saying, "Clay wants to call my mum after Jax and his group leave for Ireland. Mum has said she's going to tell Clay if we can come down in a week so she's got time to prepare. It's the best we could come up with given the circumstances. Reba's showing a good bit. She's not ginormous, but she's clearly pregnant. She's borrowing a sundress from Wendy to hide her bump before we go to TM."
Ravi spoke up saying, "That's good and everything, but how are you pulling this off. What if Clay insists on seeing the plane tickets and train tickets."
I smile to myself before saying, "We've got that part figured out too. We're gonna get plane tickets to Dublin from Sacramento. Then we're going to also get a bus ticket from Dublin to Dingle. Dingle is where Clay's going to think Kaylee is from. In reality we're gonna get extra bus tickets from Dublin to Belfast, or we'll see if Jax can pick us up from Dublin. SAMBEL is going to pick Jax's group up from Dublin Airport as well."
Tig and Happy walked into the living room and smiled at me as Ravi said, "Sounds like you guys have got it all figured out. I'll see you when you get here, Reba. I love you darling."
Smiling into the phone I say, "I love you too Dad. Can't wait to see you."
As we hung up the phone Tig asked from the kitchen doorway, "Are you alright, baby?"
Giving him a small smile I say, "Yeah. I'm fine; I just can't believe this is what we're having to do so Major can't find me. It's just a lot to deal with."
Chibs kissed the side of my head saying, "Aye lass. I'm sure it's a lot to handle, but ye are doing amazing with it and we'll always be here for you."
Happy broke the tense moment saying, "Yeah girl. Who else will be able to make you oatmeal like me? We're not going anywhere. We promise you that."
I smile at this before saying, "Let's go to TM. I do want to tell Abel bye and we need to make sure they've got some of the twins stuff as well."
Tig moved to help me off the couch before saying, "I was thinking about that. Why don't we not worry too much about it and ship a few boxes of clothes for the twins to Kaylee's house. That way it's there and we can't forget anything. The only thing that's going to suck is we've got the cribs and stuff already set up here."
I shook my head at myself before saying, "I can't believe I didn't think of that. We can also open a couple boxes of diapers and send them as well."
Chibs smiled at the two of us before saying, "Aye, and once we get to mum's we can go out and get a couple bassinets and more clothes if the twins need it. They'll probably need more diapers as well and formula. I'm sure I can call mum in a couple days as well and see if she'll go pick up a bottle warmer and a few bottles for them."
I moved away from Tig and hugged Chibs before saying, "No. I can't ask her to do that. She's never met me. I'm sure we can do it when we're there, but maybe she'll go with us."
Happy moved towards the door asking, "Alright, who's driving and what vehicle are we taking, the Titan or the Rover?"
I shook my head at the three of them saying, "Just because I can't ride a motorcycle right now, doesn't mean you guys have to stop driving y'all's bikes. It doesn't bother me, and I'm sure it's pissing Clay off."
Happy busted out laughing before saying, "Girl. That's part of the fun. He can't make us go on runs if we aren't riding our bikes. Besides, regular vehicles are more inconspicuous than motorcycles and you never know who's watching."
Chibs chimed in saying, "Aye, and it draws less attention to the fact that you aren't riding with Tig anymore. Now let's go."
We headed out the door with Tig locking up behind us. We jumped in my Rover and headed to Teller Morrow. We arrived before too long to people already telling Jax, Gemma, Wendy, Abel and Kozik goodbye. Jax walked up to us as soon as I pulled up. He pulled me into a slight hug and whispered, "Is it all okay with Kaylee?" I gave a slight nod of my head and Jax pulled back speaking a little louder with, "I'm going to miss you, Reba. Wendy's very sad we're going to handle this with SAMBEL."
I let out a slight laugh saying, "I'm going to miss her too. She's my best friend around here. I'm also really going to miss Abel. Speaking of, I'm going to go and steal him from your wife for a few minutes."
As I walked towards Abel and Wendy, Jax called out laughingly, "Be my guest, but when we get back I'm dropping Abel on you and Tig so I can take my wife out."
When I reached Wendy and Abel, Wendy said, "Don't mind him. He's just annoyed we haven't been intimate since Abel was born. It isn't from lack of trying either. Abel has perfect timing when we get going. He always wakes up. It's like he's got a sense for it."
I shake my head at Wendy before saying, "Tig and I wouldn't mind watching him."
Wendy lowered her voice before saying, "We've got about 10 outfits for each. We couldn't fit much more in our bags. We did grab some socks, blankets, mittens and burp clothes for them though."
Giving Wendy a hug I whisper, "We can't thank you enough for this. Tig and I are going to send some stuff in the mail later on to Kaylee's house with coats and longer outfits plus diapers galore. Probably going to send some beanies too. It gets cold in Ireland."
Wendy pulled Abel out of his car seat and handed him to me saying, "That's a smart idea. This one is going to miss you for the next week. He's highly attached to his Aunt Reba. That reminds me. He doesn't have any godparents. Would you and Tig like to be his godparents? He really does adore the both of you and Jax and I trust you exponentially. I'm surprised Jax never asked Opie, but he said it didn't feel right asking Ope."
I jerked my head up towards Wendy and with a tear in my eye say, "I'd love to be his godmother, and I'm sure Tig would love to be his godfather."
She hugged me and Abel and then I adjusted Abel back into his car seat. Gemma and Kozik walked over to the two of us and gave us hugs. Gemma pushed something into my hand saying, "Keep this in your purse at all time. It's not as big as the one in your Rover, but it'll do the trick. I'm going to be so worried about you."
I hugged Gemma tightly saying, "It's okay Gem. We'll be there soon and we'll figure out what's happening. Use Ravi's burner when you guys get there so you can let us know you're safe. We'll keep you up to date over the next week about what's going on here. Sound like a plan?"
Kozik gave me a slight hug of his own saying, "Yeah Reba. That's a plan. We'll stock up on burners when we get there. Our phones are probably gonna go ghost mode so Juice doesn't find out we're all together."
Tig walked up to us and gave everyone hugs and wished them luck. Before we knew it the prospects were taking Jax, Wendy, Gemma, Abel and Kozik away to the airport.
I hope you guys all enjoy the new Chapter. I should be posting Chapter 37 in a few days as well. Thank you for reading. Also guys, please forgive me if I get anything wrong about Ireland. I'm trying to do my research on Ireland, but I am from America, so I'm probably bound to mess something up. Special shout out to whoever came up with the idea for Leap Year, because that's where I got the idea of Dingle from. If anyone is from Ireland reading this, then please let me know some pretty cool places to visit through pm or in reviews. I'm thinking about visiting Ireland before long and want to know the best places to visit.
