CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVEN

Website where all photos of all outfits mentioned is on my profile.

Within the small town centre there's a shop that sells baby stuff and Donna directs me towards it with the sole purpose of buying the things we need. It doesn't take long for us to find both a change table and a nappy bin. Looking at the pushchairs we end up talking to one of the sales people in the store to find the best one. Picking out a black one I nudge Al with my elbow "Think you can do some reaper art on that for me?"

Al nods and grins "That would be wicked, where are you thinking?"

"It'd have to be on the plastic parts, so maybe the wheels to start."

The car seat we pick matches the pushchair being mostly black, but it has silver accents on it Al's eyes widen "I can do a reaper on the sides in silver paint."

I nod "Can you do them before I show them to Jax?"

Al grins "Sure, drop them at the hotel and I'll get onto them tomorrow, that way they'll be well and truly ready for the home coming."

I roll my eyes "I'll need the car seat before then."

"True."

We walk the short distance down the street to the small furniture that's been a part of Charming since before I came to town, the limited selection that they stock does include lazy boys and I pick out one to go in Abel's room in a dark blue material. Wanting to get the leather one is thrown out when I see the ones that have a heat and massage functions. Donna slides into the seat beside me while I'm relaxed into the material.

"Oh, Opie is most definitely buying me one of these." She groans as the heat function seeps into her bones.

I nod and lean my head against her shoulder "Its heaven isn't it?"

Al pulls me out of the seat with a groan coming out of my mouth "I was comfortable."

She laughs and pushes me towards the door until I plant my feet "Stop! I didn't order sofas for the man cave so I really should."

I turn around again and quickly pick a sofa that would look okay and the lazy boys that match. Ordering two of the sofas and four of the chairs I pay for the whole lot, ignoring the amount that comes up on the screen, my bank balance has taken a serious hit over the past few weeks and I'm not really interested in knowing how much more I've just spent.

Stepping back into the bright light of the street Donna's stomach rumbles and I laugh "Lunch then?"

Cam and Al both not furiously "We were going to demand it next, before any more shopping."

I shake my head at them "I'm done shopping. Well, actually I have some groceries to get but I can do that later."

Donna sighs "Thanks for reminding me. I need to go and get some stuff. But after lunch."

I turn towards one of the tiny café's on Main Street and walk quietly down the street. Stepping through the door my nose twitches with the smell of coffee.

The four of us take over a table in the corner and work our way through several cups of coffee with our sandwiches. When one of the two people working in the store comes over and lets us know they're closing soon I look at my watch slightly startled.

"We've been in here for two hours."

Al and Cam both check their watches while Donna looks at her phone "Fuck, how did it get to be 3pm?"

I shrug as we get to our feet and I drop a 50 dollar note in the middle of the table as an apology to the staff for occupying the space for so long.

Donna's eyes widen "You're insane. Did you know that?"

I put my arm around her shoulder as we leave, the bell jingling as we all call thank you's over our shoulders "I'm not insane, we just occupied a table in there for hours without them complaining once."

Taking Cam to see the changes in the house she wanders slowly around the downstairs before heading upstairs "This staircase is really dark. I don't remember it being this bad."

"I'm on it already; we're getting a new one built."

Cam comes back downstairs after about 10 minutes and slides her arm through my elbow "I'd like to move into that bathroom."

I nod "I know. Jax picked out all the fittings."

Cam wiggles her eyebrows "Guess he wants to make sure you enjoy your time up there."

I shrug "He picked it all before we got together."

Cam's mouth drops open in shock before she shakes her head lightly and goes back to looking through the downstairs rooms.

"So did you work out what you're doing with this room?" She calls from inside the 'man cave'.

I lean against the doorframe "I did, this is going to be Jax's room when he's in the dog box, or needs space."

Al laughs from the staircase where she's sat down "That's some fancy dog box."

I nod "I know. But as long as he's a good boy he'll never have to find out how comfortable the chairs and sofas I just brought are."

Donna chuckles "Like that'd happen. We all know you'd never be able to make him sleep down here S. You're simply addicted to him, but I'd say he's just as bad."

I giggle and nod as we walk back to the car slowly "I hope so. Now I have to go get some clothes from Jax's, which I should have done before and go take Doj for a walk which apparently he's going stir crazy without. You guys want to be dropped at the Clubhouse?"

They all shake their heads "Nah, we can wait at Gemma's. That way I can spend some time with my kids." Donna says as I unlock the car and we all get in.

"Can you ask Gem about bringing in another dressing table for me, Jax said I could."

Donna nods and lets me zone out of the conversation that starts, concentrating or sorting out my thoughts for what I want to talk about with Clay, after talking to Luann and Gemma I'd decided it was time to talk to him about the porn expansion, with or without Jax agreeing.
