Maddie laid in the hospital bed hooked to the fetal monitor, Happy was sitting next to her looking worried. Dr. Lawson came in with the nurse.

"Maddie, we're going to try to stop your labor. You're seven months along, it's early but the baby could survive if we can't stop the labor. We have the best neonate specialist on staff, if we need him. Right now, I need you to relax and stay calm."

All Maddie could do iis nod her head and wipe away her tears, Happy was holding her hand. "How long before we know if the medicine helps? Happy asked.

"We should know within the next soon, if her water breaks then there's nothing we can do. It's important that you keep her calm Happy." The nurse adjusted her IV, and followed the doctor out of the room.

Maddie was terrified that something was going to happen to James, she looked at Happy. "I'm sorry"

"For what babe?" He brushed the hair out of her face. "This isn't your fault, our little man is just in a hurry to meet up. But they're working on keeping him in, so he can cook a little longer. Just relax."

She nodded her head, closing her eyes, she tried to relax and her some rest. "Can you just hold me?" He kicked his shoes off and, climbed inti the hospital bed holding her tiight. He slowly rubbed her stomach, making small circles.

The nurse came into the room, checking the fetal monitor, she smiled. " Maddie, your contractions have almost stopped, I'm going to let the doctor know." She relaxed in Happy's arms, he was rubbing small circles on her stomach.

"It's going to be okay babe, little man is going to stay inside and cook, he's going to be healthy and strong just like you."

She relaxed in his arms, falling asleep.

She'd been kept in the hospital for two weeks, she was being released today and being put on strict bed rest. Happy was making arrangements for someone to stay with her during the day, to take care of her.

"Hap, I don't need anymore one to take care of me. I'll be fine."

"No way in hell I'm leaving you home alone Madison Claire ! I want someone here in case you go into labor, they can get you to the hospital quickly."

She rolled her eyes at the use of her first and middle names. She knew he was only looking out for her and baby James. "Fine, bring someone in to take care of me. Just make sure they're nice."

She was being pushed to the front door of the hospital, she started to get out of the chair and walk the few steps to the SIV. Happy lifted her up on his arms, she wrapped her arms around his neck. "Really?"

"Yes, really! " He put her on the SUV, she pulled the seatbealt over her expanding stomach. She watched her husband get into the drivers side, she leaned over kissing him. "I love you!"

"Love you too." He picked up her hand, bringing it to his lips, kissing it. She leaned back in her seat, as he drove them home. She hadn't even started on the nursery, she was way behind. She was going to have to do some major online shopping to get everything done. Especially if little man decided to come early like his big sister.

Happy pulled into the drive, there were several motorcycles and cars parked along the street. She looked at Happy. "What's this?"

He smiled at her. "A surprise." She was climbing out of the SUV, when Happy picked her up, carrying her inside. The livingroom was empty, she could hear voices coming from the spare bedroom down the hall. Happy carried her down the hall to the room, sitting her feet on the floor.

The nursery was done, Jax, Opie, Tig, Chibs, and Bobby were in the nursery they had painted and put together the furniture. Gemma, Lyla, and Tara had decorated the walls, put away the clothes, and arranged the furniture. "What do you think baby?"

"It's perfect! Thank you!" She turned to kiss him. He picked her up again, carrying her to the bedroom, laying her in bed, he propped her up against some pillows.

"I'm going to bring you lunch." She smiled at him, pulling his face down to hers to kiss him. He left the bedroom. The group from the nursery, came into her bedroom to visit het. She smiled at them, as they filed in, finding places to sit.

"How are you feeling baby?"

"Great, just trying to keep little man in a little longer!"

"Come on doll, tell us his name!"

"You guys have to wait until he gets here it's a surprise!"

"Not even a hint?"

She laughed, shaking her head. "Sorry, guys! You have to wait until he's born."

Happy came in with her lunch, looking at the room full of people. He smiled at them, he sat the tray across her lap. "She needs her rest."

The group, came by kissing her on the cheek and leaving the room. She ate her lunch, Happy sat next to her on the bed. "Go get Sophia, I miss her!"

"She's at Gemma's, Anita is watching her over there."

"Please Hap! Anita can watch her over here, I miss our daughter!" She was close to crying, he leaned over to kiss her.

"I'll go get her after lunch, now eat!" She was laying in bed, sleeping when he left to get Sophia. She woke up a short time later to find the two year old curled up around her. She slowly opened her eyes at found Happy staring at her.

She smiled at him. "Thank you for going to get her."

"I'm glad to see you smile." He raised up over their daughter to kiss her. He moved closer so he could hold them in his arms.

She was awake at two am, she couldn't sleep, she was coming back from the bathroom when the first contraction hit. "Fuck! Hap...Hap!" She felt her water break, she moved closer to the bed. "HAP!"

"What are you yelling about women? It's two am?"

"My water broke, and I'm having contractions!" She almost laughed at him, sitting straight up out of bed. She changed her clothes, grabbing her bag, moving to the livingroom. Waiting for him to get Sophia, she picked up her phone and called Gemma. She would meet them at the hospital, the three of climbed into the SUV and headed to St. Thomas.

He pulled into the hospital parking lot, with Sophia on his hip, and his other arm wrapped around Maddie's waist, they went inti the hospital. By the time she got to a room, her contractions were hitting hard and fast.

The doctor came in to check her, she was ready to push after only being there for a hour. She had been struggling for awhile and the James wouldn't come out. She was tired and ready to give up.

"Come on baby, you can do this!"

"Don't talk to me!" She started pushing some more. She was encouraged to pushed more when the doctor saw his head, two more pushes and his shoulders were out, one more push and he was laid on her chest. She heard him cry, she looked down at him on her chest. "Hello, handsome!"

She was crying, Happy leaned down to kiss her, touching his son. "I live you Maddie!"

"I love you too!" The nursery staff took him, to clean him up and run tests. Dr. Lawson cleaned her up, while Happy went out into the waiting room, to let the family know that the baby was here and healthy. He returned to Maddie's side, she was sitting up in bed, already nursing their son. Happy had brought Sophia into the ron with him, sitting her on the bed.

"Is this my brother?"

"This is James Filip Winston Lowmen."

"I love him daddy!"

Once she was finished, they brought Opie, Lyla, Jax, Tara, Gemma and Chibs. Happy was sitting in bed with Maddie, his arms around her, Sophia was sitting on his lap.

"Several weeks ago there was a drive by at the club. If it wasn't for Chibs, Maddie and the baby would have been killed." Happy took his son from Maddie's arms walking over to Chibs, handing him the baby. "We'd like you to meet our son, James Filip Winston Lowman."

Maddie watched Chibs eyes fill wirh tears as he cradled her son in his arms, looking into his tiny face. He handed the baby to Opie next, so he could get a look at his nephew. Chibs came closer to the bed. "Are you sure you want to stick him with such a long name?"

"Neither one of us would be here if it wasn't for you." Maddie took his hand squeezing it. She watched as James was passed around the room, meeting each family member. She looked back at Chibs. "He'll grow into his name." Gemma carried the baby back to Maddie, handing him back to her. "Okay, open the doors and let them in."

Gemma opened the doors, she watched as the rest of the club members came into the room. Happy was holding Sophia in his arms, he was looking down at his son, cradled in Maddie's arms. He announced the name of his son.
