It was in the middle of summer and Charming's main street was full with regular folks, me and Donna were planning Ellie's birthday so we had to endure the crowds. Mom had decided to stay with the shop, so we at least had a piece of mind.

"So what is the theme we are going with" I asked Donna who was setting up the stroller while I carried Ellie. I can say that since Hap's incarceration I spend more time with Donna than everyone else. I was not going to go see Hap this weekend and like always he understood saying I had to be here for Ellie.

"I think we are going with Princess that's all they have" she said getting frustrated with the stroller.

"Oh yes we are going with pink" I said to Ellie who just giggled.

"I hate pink" said Donna finally opening the stroller.

"I love it and Ellie will love it too. Right baby" I said as Ellie just smiled.

"You know I wouldn't take you for someone to be into baby shit." I heard someone say behind me. It was Lorca and Koz standing there looking at us.

"Didn't you hear I had a baby" I said joking.

"Hap's been in jail for three years" Lorca said crossing his arms.

"Oh shit I think I messed up the prison clause" I said putting Ellie in the stroller.

"Hap denied your prison clause." Lorca said getting mad that what he gets for not seeing me.

"I didn't get that memo" I said as me and Kozik were trying not to laugh.

"Jess" said Lorca

"Calm down Ellie is Donna's baby." I said laughing.

"Shit Jess here I am thinking how will Hap react to all this." he said

"Have you seen him?" I asked him I know Kozik and Bully go frequently.

"Yeah I'm going this weekend. You?" he asked

"Not this weekend but the next" I said While Donna went into the store since it was getting hot.

"Who do you go with?" he asked.

"Tig takes me" I said not missing Kozik rolling his eyes.

"Well Jess will let you go back to your things." Kozik said breaking up are catching up.

"See you at the club" said Lorca walking back to his bike. I locked the car went into the store before Donna gave up on the whole pink theme.

"Jess" Donna called me from the aisle I had passed looking for her. "Only you could get lost in a small store Jess" said Donna shaking her head.

"I didn't get lost I was just looking for something." I said

"It's like pink wonderland here" said Donna pointing to a whole aisle of pink birthday things.

"I'm in love" I said grabbing everything we would need.

"Only you Jess" said Donna grabbing the things from my hands. "Opie said not to go to crazy" said Donna trying to put somethings back.

"Hey I'm paying" I said "We can go as crazy as we want"

"Jess I cant let you" she said looking at me

"Hey it's for Ellie not for you or Opie"

"You already paid for everything else" she said trying to stand her ground.

"So" I said walking away with the things we chose. "Come on we need to order the cake." I said walking to the cashier.

"Jess we need to make a quick stop at my moms house" said Donna

"Why" I asked making a face

"Dad wants to give me Ellie's present and I don't want to go alone." she said

"Only because I love you" I said

"Lucky me" said Donna said Donna as I got the things we just bought.

Happy

I just couldn't fucking wait to get out of this shit. Fucking glad Jess wasn't coming this weekend, she didn't need to see me in bruises like last time. Being the only son in this shit hole was hard yeah I could defend myself but being jumped by more than two was just fucked up. The little protection I got in here I'm glad to be fucking alive. I just wanted to be with my girl and needed the fucking road badly. Two more fucking months and I was free. Last time Jess came all she talked about was Ellie, I was happy that it became a distraction for her but it opened more shit for our relationship kids. I just didn't want to deal with that for now hoping Ellie would fill that gap for her if she had one. Still don't know if she is going to come back to Tacoma I doubt it.

"Lowman you got a visitor" said the fucker as he opened the cell. Probably one of my brothers. I walked into the room noticing it was Kozik and Lorca.

Jess

We were almost done setting up for the party, the guys were going to be late so Donna was having an I hate you Opie moment so I took over.

"Okay put the tables over there" I told Juice who was stuck helping us. The only thing that bothered me was that he thought talking nonstop made time go faster.

"With the chairs" he asked, I thought he was kidding but when I looked at him he was serious.

"Yes Juice the chairs too." I said holding back the urge to hit him.

"Hey Jess you have everything" called mom from the house.

"Yeah" I answered as I put the things on the table. My phone began to ring I noticed it was Lorca did something go wrong while he was visiting Hap. I sat down as I answered the phone.

"Jess" he said shit he sounded worried this was not good.

"Is everything alright with Hap?" I asked as I tried to calm down and not let my mind go into overdrive of the many things that could happen to Hap.

"Did you know Ada is in the hospital?" he asked as I sat down. Why am I always the last one to know about everything involving her.

"No since when?" I asked. Why didn't Sara call me. That lady was going to be the death of me, she probably told Sara not to call me. I saw mom and Donna leave the house and heading toward me.

"Two days, I'll call you later."

"You have got to be shitting me" I said as I hanged up. How the hell was I going to get put of this place without Donna killing me and no one finding out about Ada.

"What is going on?" asked mom as she looked at me as she crossed her arms in front of her.

"Nothing" I said as I walked into the house.

"You are a horrible liar." called out Donna as she was walking behind me.

"Ada is in the hospital" I said as I looked for Sara's number.

"So go" she said without hesitation. I wanted to be here for her and Ellie and also for there for Ada. Dammit people I am just one person.

"I will but..

"Ellie won't remember who was at this party. Her mother will and her father is going to get the couch tonight but you have been there since the first day. So just go deal with your things Jess. " she said.

"Alright I love you for that, but what about the crazy lady over there who will probably tie me to a tree." I said as we both looked outside. I did have a point there since I was never able to do anything without someone knowing.

"Don't worry I can handle your mother" she said as she just walked out. That was what scared me about her. I grabbed my keys and left the house.

Donna

The minute I stepped out of the house, Gemma almost ran inside probably found out that Jess was up to something. I loved Jess but hated the way that she would still let Gemma dictate her life as she did to Jax.

"Where is Jess" she asked as she came and stood in front of me as guest were arriving. I looked at

"She had something to do." I said as I went on my way to do the things that needed to be done, before I ended up killing Juice.

"For her to lea

"I don't know why don't you call her" I said as she grabbed my arm.

"We both know she is not going to answer.

"Then I can't help you."

"Shouldn't she be here, what is more important than Ellie" she

She has been there for me and will always be, as I am for her." I said as I turned my attention to her. She scared a lot of people but someone had to take her down a notch.

"Yeah I can see that" she said as she walked away as she dialed her phone. Jess had always been there even when she did not want to .
"I so can't do this" said Jess she had wanted to stay in the waiting room, but we had made a promise that we will be there for each other no matter what.
"Jess your not doing anything" I said as I still had a tight grip on her hand and Opie's. Jess was of course panicking like a crazy person while Opie was looking as if he was going to faint until they heard Ellie cry.

"I'm never having children" said Jess as she sat down on one of the chairs. She looked like if she was the one that went thru all the pain. While Opie looked lost, what would I do without these people in my life.

"Shut up and come meet Ellie" I said as she stood up and Opie handed Ellie to her.

"Oh she is beautiful" I knew the minuet she saw her my daughter was going to be spoiled by her.

"Finally" I said as I saw Opie leave the house and walk toward me. I noticed that Gemma was talking to Clay about something but they would not find out where Jess was going until she probably comes back later today.

Jess

After hours of looking and getting lost and trying to get directions from Sara. I finally found the damn hospital.

"How does Lorca know?" she asked getting to the point as I entered the room. This may have been getting out of hand lying to everybody about her health till we knew Hap could handle finding out. Since we both knew it wasn't a good idea to announce it by phone, letter or over a table.

"I don't know and don't care, what I care why I didn't find out about this two days ago." I said as I closed the door.

"Well

"Does Happy know yet?" Well that was one I couldn't answer since I had no idea if Lorca told him.

"We are both hiding this from Hap" I said as I sat down next to the bed. This was all getting out of hand and it was becoming too much. He was going to kill us when he got out and he was probably going to blame me when Ada had planned to keep everything from him.

"Jessica you are hiding the fact that you have a job." she said as I just rolled my eyes. Health trumps job every where.

"My job is simple he comes back I quit."

"You have got to be kidding me young lady" I felt as if I was going to be told off by my grandmother, who I was not even close to.

"What"

"You are going to keep that job, when he comes back you make him work his way in. He just don't come back and you drop everything you do." she said as she grabbed my hand.

"It's not going to be that easy" I said. If things didn't go Happy's way he might as well just leave me and then I would be alone. It was my job to make him comfortable not have him feel left out or that I was pushing him out.

"No one said it was just going to be easy, both of you have changed it's not fair for you if you just drop everything after what you accomplished without him."

"It's just a stupid job" I said as she looked at me.

"This job is yours, you do it by yourself your mother has nothing to do with it, she taught you not to depend on anyone when she is the one that can't do anything without dictating your life. Enough of all this, are you missing something important in Charming."

"It was just a birthday party" it hurt a little to say that.

"How is that cute little child of mine she will probably turn out just as you and Donna. It would have been nice if you would have had a child at the same time so that they would grow up together. Ellie is the closest I will have to grandchildren" She had met her and fell in love with her instantly. So me and Donna would bring her by when we visited Ada.

"Ada lets not start that again. Donna wants another baby,with Killer and Midnight you have enough." "I will probably die soon and no grandchildren." she said as she just looked at me. This lady was never going to stop.

"Ada it was a health scare."

"Now it's just a health scare. We will deal with it when he gets out." she said as we turned back to the television.

"Right"
