Alexi glowered at her husband and Cali. The pair stood at the end of her hospital bed looking back at her, one face was full of concern, the other glared back.
"It's not fucking happening." Alexi repeated for the fourth time her arms crossed over her chest. "Alexi." Cali sighed and tapped on her chart. "I fucking said no. You aren't locking me in the house for the rest of my pregnancy! I won't do it!" She said louder. "I have finals and work. It's not going to happen. Its that simple Cal." Alexi told her. "The stress is too much for you. You're body can't handle it." Cali said reminding her why she was here in the first place.
The blonde had told them that what Alexi had experienced was the start of preterm labor. The stress from her daily life had sent her into labor and her fight with Happy had sent her blood pressure through the roof. She was on a medicine now that would calm her body down and stop her labor and another one to bring her blood pressure down.
"Maybe you should have thought about that before cleaning the whole god damn house." Happy growled as he sat down in the chair closest to her bed. "Maybe if you were around more I wouldn't have felt the need to clean." Alexi quipped back not bothering to look at him. She looked over to Cali who stared back at her shocked.
"There has to be another way. Find it. I mean are you really going to lock me away in a house with him?" The pregnant brunette asked rolling her eyes as Happy stormed out of the room and slammed the door behind him. "Have you lost your fucking mind?" The blonde doctor asked looking at her like she had clearly lost her mind. She had never witnessed Alexi act anyway except loving towards Happy.
"It's easier if he isn't around." The brunette said looking out of the window. "Stop being so stubborn and let him help you." Cal scolded as she set the green eyed woman's chart back on the edge of her bed. "He doesn't even want to be here. You saw the way he looked when you said I had to be on bedrest. That was him thinking of a way to get out." Alexi told her as she glanced back out the window. She heard the blonde sigh and she rolled her eyes.
"Alexi..." She shook her head and glared at the blonde. "You don't fucking get it do you Cal? I've been doing just great on my own. I don't need him or anyone around if they doesn't want to be." Alexi said loudly and clearly so the doctor would drop it and leave her alone. "Alexi, I know things are really messy right now with Abel and that must be confusing to you but you don't have to be alone. Happy wants to be around he just doesn't know how to deal with it. You aren't alone." The gorgeous brunette sat up more in the bed and scoffed.
"What in the actual fuck do you know about what the fuck I'm going through? Do I look fucking confused to you? And by the fucking way! What the fuck do you know about my husband that i don't? What? you think I'm just wallowing away in my emotions looking for some kind of attention? I'm not. Do you see me crying?" She asked giving the woman a second to respond before continuing on with out her response.
"I'm fucking pissed that you're making a bullshit call just because I got mad." She swung her legs over the side of the bed and glared at the blonde. "Fuck you. seriously, "you know what I'm going through." what fucking bullshit." She grumbled pulling out her IV.
"Alexi." Cali warned coming over to her and grabbing her arm. "Did I say you could fucking touch me? Do i look like I need consoling? I want you to change your fucking mind. Better yet, I want to be transferred out. I want a second fucking opinion." Alexi shouted at her as she furiously wiped her rage tears off her face.
"Alexi calm down just sit and breathe. You need to think more clearly..." Alexi slammed the door to the bathroom shut drowning out the doctors words. The furious pregnant woman slammed her hand down on the counter. Who the fuck did she think she was? She huffed and dialed her brothers number.
"Toni? I need you to come get me."
"Lex, what's wrong?"
"I'm in the hospital."
"you stay there. I'm... I'll be there." He said and hung up.
Alex wiped her tears off her face and shook her head. She hated this bullshit. Always crying and hungry. Never being able to be comfortable. She hadn't been sleeping because of the babies. They were always moving and keeping her up. She was exhausted.
Alexi stepped out of the shower and wrapped herself in a towel as she left the bathroom. She opened the closet and pulled out underwear and a bra from her hospital bag that she had thankfully packed early and left in the jeep.
The brunette shut the door and looked up seeing her husband watching her from the chair he had been in earlier. The pregnant woman turned back around as her phone chimed loudly from the bathroom. Alexi went to it and shut the door loudly as she checked her messages. Tonio was here and wanted to know her room number. She texted him back as she pulled on her panties and then her bra. She then tied her hospital gown back in place and left the bathroom.
The gorgeous brunette stopped when she saw Cali and Happy talking quietly. They stopped when she got into the bed. "Don't stop scheming on my account continue." Alexi spat as she texted her brother back and set the phone in her lap.
"I noticed Happy isn't your power of attorney." Cali said placing some papers on the tray in front of her. "And your point is?" Alexi asked pushing the papers back to the doctor. "Alexi power of attorney puts him..." Alexi rolled her eyes and huffed. "I fucking know what it means Calliope. What does that have to do with anything?" She asked and looked to the door. She smiled as her brother came through the door with Esai neither men had their kuttes on. Alexi started crying as Tonio enveloped her in a tight hug.
"Hey now stop. None of that." He muttered wiping away her tears. "What the fuck are they here for Alexi?" Happy growled as she cried harder into her brother's shoulder. "We're family ese." Esai spat coldly. "You guys need to get out I can't have you upsetting Alexi anymore." Cali said loudly. Alexi sat back and rubbed her face with her hands. "Why are you even here? I told you wanted to be transferred. Unless it's about that.."
"You're not transferring anywhere." Happy growled. "We need to talk about your power of attorney." Alexi gritted her teeth and shook her head. "You both need to leave. Now." Alexi muttered and closed her eyes as a wave of pain went through her. She squeezed Tonio's hand breathing through the pain.
"Ow what the fuck? Lexi stop." Her brother tried to pull his hand away and shook her head stopping him. "What's wrong?" He asked suddenly unsderstood what was going on. She bit her lip and shook her head as tears slid down her face.
Hours later
Alexi walked into the nursery and shut the door behind her. She sat down her back against the wall ignoring flit and meeko scratching at the door because they wanted in. Alexi had set everything in the room up by herself. Cribs, dressers, changing tables. all of it she did by herself. Painted and decorated all by herself. She took pride in this room using it to work through her emotions. She had put her all into the room.
She heard the door open continued to stare at the picture of her and Happy on the opposite wall. Happy was behind her, his hands on her stomach smiling down at her as she was smiled up at him, her hands over his. Gemma had taken the picture when they weren't paying attention. It was after they told her they were expecting. That felt like forever ago now. Meeko tried to get in her lap and Flit nipped at his leg reminding him whose lap that belonged to. She heard Happy growl at the dogs and rolled her eyes.
"We gotta talk Lex." She rolled her eyes and wiped her tears away waiting for him to tell her he was leaving again. He sat down beside her and she stiffened. "Lex." He said with a sigh. "Just tell me you're leaving and leave Hap." She said blinking away her tears. "You said you didn't care." He said quietly. "I didn't til recently." She told him honestly.
"The room looks nice." He said after a moment. "Thanks." She mumbled and cleared her throat. "Who helped you with it?" She scoffed and finally looked at him her anger building. "No one." She spat coldly and looked away again. She could feel Happy's eyes boring holes into her back. She got to her feet and started walking away.
"Lex, stop." He said grabbing her arm. "I don't understand why you go away all the time. We don't need the money. I mean for fuck sakes Hap." She huffed and tried to shake off his hold on her wrist. "You know why." He said turning her to face him. "That's bullshit. You said you would be here but you're not. I'm doing this all by myself. I need you here." She said quietly. He kissed her head and hugged her.
"I'm back now." She scoffed and shook her head. "For how long?" He sighed and held her tighter, rubbing her back as she looked up at him. "Right." She muttered and looked away. "Mayans blew up our gunwarehose " Happy said suddenly.
Alexi looked back up at him confused and frowning. "They took all our guns. Wendy bought crank from Darby." Alexi stepped back from him just a little bit and ran her hands through her hair. "Why are you telling me this." He bent forward so that he was at eye level with her. "Shit's about to get messy mamas. I need to know where you're head is at." Alexi narrowed her eyes and searched his for a moment. "You're asking me to choose." She stated after a beat. He didn't respond or react.
"I've got to go to bed Hap, i've got class in the morning." She said moving away from him quickly. "You're not going to class and were not done talking about this." Happy rasped following her. She moved faster to the door. "You going to take my finals for me?" She asked over her shoulder as she opened the door.
Her husband shut it and turned her to face him. "I'm not choosing Hap. You're away all the time. I need to be able to go home if something happens to you." She muttered staring at his chest. "Nothing is going to happen to me, Alexi." She scoffed and looked up at him. "So you can see the future now?" He narrowed his eyes at her and rubbed his thumb over her jaw.
"Alexi." He started to say but she shook her head cutting him off. "I know what I said Hap, but I can't help but feel like you're going to be leaving again and soon and I can't turn my back on my family." She said quietly taking his hand in hers. He huffed and glared at her.
"They stole our fucking guns, Alexi. They're coming after us." She shook her head again. "They're not coming after me. You guys did something to provoke them." She defended as her husband took a step back and angrily stared at her. "Are you fucking kidding me right now Alexi? You're going to choose them over me?" He asked balling his fist up at his sides.
"I'm not choosing anything Happy. I'm not going to be running back and forth to Oakland but I'm not writing them off either. They're all I have. why can't you see that?" She asked throwing her hands up. Her husband just shook his head not believing what he was hearing from his wife.
"You've got all of SAMCRO." She chuckled darkly and rolled her eyes. "You mean all those men that think I'm playing both sides?" He clamped a hand over her mouth and continued. "Your father, Chibs, Bobby, all of them." She clawed at his hand enraged and fulling pulled it from her mouth.
"First of all how fucking dare you!" She shouted as she jabbed her finger in his face. "And secondly, are you referring to the man who told me I'm poisonous and that I'm ruining you? that one?" She spat back at him. Happy wiped his hands over his face and looked up at the ceiling.
"I'm just trying to take care of you and you're making this fucking difficult." He said looking back at her. Her shoulders sagged a little and she looked away. "I hate you coming and going all the time. I feel like Clay is twisting everyone's minds against me. I'm tired Hap and I feel like I'm alone in this. I know you're just trying to do whats right by us but I can't help get mad when I'm at the doctors by myself and see these fucking couples hanging off each other. I wish you were around more." She muttered wiping her tears away for the millionth god damn time that day.
Happy nodded and hugged her. "You're shrinking mamas." He said against her head. "All thanks to your fucking kids." She mumbled against his chest. He smirked and kissed her head.
"I 'll try to keep my distance from Oakland. But I need to talk to my professors and see if I can find someway to take my finals sooner. I don't want to waste all my hard work." The gorgeous brunette said trying to get her man to compromise. "See if Gemma or Sara will take you down." He said and Alexi grinned.
The woman hugged her husband feeling ecstatic that he was agreeing to let her go. "Why was Cali asking about my power of attorney?" Alexi asked as her husband opened the door and led her into their room. "She wanted me to said it was okay to sedate your ass. I couldn't unless I was power of attorney." He said like it was no big deal.
"I'm sorry what?" She stopped and stared at her husband hoping that she had heard him wrong. He smirked back at her as he pulled his shirt off and tossed it into the hamper. "I know you're joking with me." Alexi said prompting Happy to speak.
