Chapter 36- Birth And Arrests

I was lying down on the hospital, sharp contractions hitting me, I cried out in pain each one. Happy was sitting next to me, I had one hand in a death grip, the other he was running through my hair, whispering encouraging words to me. It had only been an hour and I was nearly fully dilated, thank God this would be a fast birth.

"God, Happy, it hurts" I screamed, another contraction hitting me

"I know baby, it's okay" he said

"No you have no idea, you got me into this Hap, you are never touching me again" I screamed

Happy wasn't affected by my words. I had already warned him that I would probably scream at him and yell profanities at everyone, nothing personal. The Doctor walked in to the room.

"You're fully dilated, it's time to push now Layla" said the Doctor

I looked up to Happy eagerly, we were about to meet our child for the first time very soon.

"Okay, I'm ready" I said, breathing in deeply

A screamed each time I pushed and yet no babcommand out.

"I can see the head, just one more push" said the Doctor

I pushed one last time and the sound of a baby's cry pierced the air. Happy cut the umbilical cord and the Doctor handed my baby over to me. I cradled her in my arms. She gurgled as she looked up at me.

"Hey baby, I'm your mummy" I said

She had dark skin, lighter than mine but darker than Happy's, a head full of black hair. Her eyes were I dark blue and I could already tell that they would end up being dark like Happy's. The nurses took her away to be cleaned from all the after birth. Happy leaned down and kissed my forehead.

"You did good babe" he said

"We did good" I replied

The nurse gave the baby back to me.

"You want to hold her Hap?" I asked

Happy nodded and carefully took her from my arms. My heart filled with warmth to see Happy holding our daughter. He sat dowme next to me on the bed.

"Baby, this is your daddy" I said, stroking her head lightly

The nurses and Doctors left so that we good have some alone time, bond as a family.

"What are we naming her?" Asked Happy

"I was thinking Isabella after your mum and Marie after your Aunt" I said

"What about your mum?" He asked

"Next child" I said

"We're having a boy next" he said

"Are we, we'll have to see" I said laughing

"Welcome to the world Isabella Marie Lowman" said Happy

SOASOASOA

I was holding a sleeping Isabella in my arms when the visitors starting pouring in. Roxy, Tanya and Oliver were first, all eager to meet their niece.

"She's beautiful" said Roxy

I smiled up at her and looked down at my very beautiful baby.

They all took turns holding Izzy, passing her around, cooeing at the hours old baby.

Gemma, Tara and Lyla came in next.

"How's the new mum doing?" Asked Gemma

"I'm great" I said

"Where's Hap?" Asked Tara

"He went home to get my bag, we didn't have time to get it before we came here" I said

Everyone took turns holding Izzy, more people visited. Everyone finally left and I was able to sleep, Happy had stayed up with Izzy.

SOASOASOA

We went home the next day, it was different having a newborn, but a good different. Happy had to finish up some club business so I was waiting at the clubhouse with Gemma, Tara, Lyla, Roxy and Lowen. I really didn't want Roxy here, she was leaving for Sacramento in a few days and I didn't want Tig to change her mind. The guys had just returned so we walked outside to greet them. Happy came up to me, taking Izzy from my arms.

"How's my baby momma doing?" He asked

"Good, just waiting for the sleepless nights to start" I said laughing

He smiled up at me then looked down at our baby, rocking her in his arms.

"I love you Layla" he said to me

"I love you too Hap" I said stroking my hand down his arm

Suddenly cars started to pull into the lot, ATF agents getting out of them. Happy gave Isabella back to me and walked over to the other guys. I couldn't hear what they were saying. I saw Tig and Juice get Jimmy O out of a trunk and hand him over to the ATF agents. I walked over to them when Clay started screaming at Jax. I realized what he had done, he had made a deal with Stahl, more like a deal with the devil, seeing as how she was screwing him over. I walked over to Gemma, Tara and Lyla. Gemma was sobbing. I shared one last look with Happy before he was arrested and put in the back of the van with Jax, Juice, Clay, Tig, Bobby and Oliver.

My family had just been ripped apart, my husband and baby's father had just been arrested only a day after we had been married and Isabella was born. I was devastated, he would be in jail for at least 14 months. And we hadn't even consummated the marriage.

What do you think? I'll keep writing the 14 months I'm between but with larger time jumps. Review with thoughts and opinions.
