Chapter 7: Happy Birthday Seth/ Being A Girl Sucks
NO ONE'S POV
Bella woke up and looked at her clock. She sighed and got out of bed.
"Baby where are you going?" Jax asked as he felt the bed move.
"I have to make breakfast it's Seth's birthday." Bella replied as she got out of bed. She went to her dresser throwing on shorts and a tank top.
"Are you going to the club house?" Bella asked as she put her hair in a bun.
"Yeah I got club shit to do. Then Gemma is making the guys help set up for Seth's birthday." Jax said as he sat up in bed and watched his girlfriend get dressed.
"What?" Bella asked as she caught him staring at her.
"I love you." Jax told his old lady. Bella smiled and went over towards him and kissed him.
"I love you too baby." Bella replied as she opened the door.
"Get the kids up for me will you? I got to start breakfast." Bella said as she walked out of the room and made her way downstairs. She heard Hershey growling.
"It's just me Hershey." Bella whispered carefully not to wake anybody up. Bella walked downstairs and pulled out pancake mix and bacon. She started breakfast when she heard Seth giggling. Bella turned towards the stairs to see Jax holding Seth while tickling him. Seth finally got away and ran behind me.
"Bells save me." Seth laughed as Jax smirked I put my spoon down.
"Save you?" Bella asked. Seth nodded. Bella picked him up and put him on the counter then started to tickle him.
"Bells ha ha stop." Seth tried to say in between laughing. Bella smiled and went back to cooking.
"Happy birthday honey." Bella said as she kissed his forehead.
"Thanks" Seth smiled as he started to watch me cook.
"What are we going to do today Bells?" Seth asked as he followed the spoon with his head.
"We are going to go pick up some food then the cake. Then we are going over to the clubhouse and having your birthday there." Bella said. Seth beamed with happiness.
"Baby can you put the plates and forks out?" I asked Jax. Jax nodded and started to get everything.
"Seth go wake up your sister while I get Abel." Bella told Seth as she turned off the stove. Seth smirked and raced down towards the basement. I shook my head as I heard a crash then Seth laughing as I was walking up the stairs.
Bella opened Abel's room and peaked in.
"Hershey food." Bella said. Hershey's ears popped up then raced down the stairs as I made my way towards the crib.
"Morning my sweet boy." Bella said as she saw Abel laying down in the crib with his eyes opened.
BELLA'S POV
"Morning mama." Abel said. Picking him up and took him to the changing table. I quickly changed his diaper and put on a different onesie.
I carried him downstairs to see Jax shaking his head as Leah was glaring at Seth.
"What happened?" I asked as I put Abel in his highchair and went to get his food.
Jax came up behind me. "I got Abel's food baby sit down." Jax said as he kissed me. I nodded and sat down.
"Are you two going to answer me?" I asked the two kids.
"Seth broke my lamp." Leah said while glaring at Seth. Seth put his head down in shame.
"Leah I'm sure he didn't mean it." I said as I stared at the 12-year-old girl.
"But Bells.." Leah whined.
"Leah we will buy you a new lamp. Now be nice to your brother it's his birthday." I hissed. Leah frowned and leaned back in her chair. I sighed as I started to eat when I felt a sharp pain.
"Fuck" I mumbled as I pushed the food aside. Jax looked at me.
"Baby?" He asked with a concerned face.
"I'm fine, just going to go lay down." I whispered as I got up.
"Fuck" I said again as another sharp pain hit me.
"Bells" Jax said as this sharp pain brought me to my knees. Jax rushed over towards me.
"I'm fine baby." I said as I took a deep breath and stood up. I turned towards the kids.
"Get ready guys we got places we need to go to." I told them. Leah and Seth nodded as they went to their room.
"I'll clean up baby." Jax said. I smiled and kissed him on the cheek as I picked up Abel. I carried him upstairs towards my room.
"Okay lil man be good while mommy takes a real fast shower." I told Abel as I put him on the floor on a blanket with toys. I left the door and the shower curtain open so I could watch Abel.
20 mins later
I was getting dried off when my cell phone rang.
"Hello" I answered as I put it on speaker so I could get dressed.
"Hey baby girl." Gemma's voice floated through the room.
"Hey Gem what can I do for you?" I asked as I put on my bra and underwear.
"I picked up the cake and the food all I need is drinks and some bowls." Gemma replied.
"Okay I'll pick them up then see you around 2." I said as I hung up and looked at my clock 11:45.
"Damn" I mumbled. I had a shit load of time before the party. I finally got dressed and blow dry my hair. After I was done I turned to Abel.
"Ready to get changed little man?" I asked. He clapped his hands and giggled at me. I smiled and picked him up in my arms. I walked him to his room and got him changed into jeans and a nice Sons of Anarchy shirt. I then picked him up and carried him downstairs to see Jax on the phone looking pissed off.
I looked at him as he frowned at me. I kissed him on the cheek as he walked upstairs.
"Seth, Leah lets go." I called as I took Abel out to the van and got him into his car seat.
"Leah you can sit in the passenger seat." I told her as I saw her and Seth come outside. She smiled and got into the passenger side.
"Seth I need you to sit next to Abel so I can put the back seats down for drinks." I told Seth. He nodded and got into the van and sat behind Leah.
I got into the driver side and put my seat belt on. I saw Jax walking over towards his bike while I was pulling out of the driveway.
We made a quick trip to the store and got the drinks and bowls. I put them in the back end of the van.
"Want Burger King?" I asked the kids.
"Yah" They cheered. I smiled and drove to Burger King. We parked and I got out grabbing Abel then holding onto the kids' hands and making sure they were with me.
We go inside and order meals for all of us. I help Able eat his chicken nuggets while Seth and Leah eat their hamburgers. I just ate a salad. We finish and dump our junk.
We go back out to the van and I put Able in his car seat kissing him on the cheek. Leah and Seth get in. We head over to the club house. We pull up and see a couple of the guys outside talking. They see us and come up to the van.
Opie and Chibs open the side door.
"Well I hear we have a birthday boy in here." Opie smiled at Seth.
"Yep that's me." Seth smiled back.
"Well how about we get you guys inside. Bella do you have stuff in the back?" He asked.
"Yes, I have cases of soda and beer. Would you guys mind bringing them in. I'll get Able."
"No, you won't. Let me." Jax said. Opening my door.
"I'm fine to do it." I said.
"Bella I'm here just let me. I know you were having pains earlier. You are still healing. Please let me help." He said looking a little sad.
I got out of the van and put my arms around his neck and kissed him softly.
"I'm sorry baby. I'm still not used to being taken care of. I'm used to doing everything on my own. Of course you can get Able for me. That would be a great help." I said smiling at him.
Jax gets Able out of the car seat and we go into the club house. I look around and Gemma decorated it for Seth. The theme was Harley Davidson. Ever since he's met the guys and seen the bikes, he's been fascinated by them.
I look over to the pool table and see Opie teaching Seth how to play pool. I walk over to them. Seth sees me.
"Bella did you see the decorations. There so cool. Thank you." He told me hugging my waist.
"You need to thank Gemma she did it all. I just told her what you liked." I said.
"I will" He goes off looking for her. I see them together and it looked like he was trying to give her a big hug.. Suddenly I hear Clay.
"Who is the young stud mackin on my ol lady." He said putting his arm around Gemma's shoulders. Looking down at Seth. Seth looked nervous.
"I... I was thanking grandma for the decorations. Th...There so cool. I don't mean anything. I...I'm sorry." He looked a bit scared.
I was about to go over when Clay spoke.
"I was just giving you a hard time. Seth it's ok kid. Oh and happy birthday big guy." He hugs Seth. Seth looked relieved.
I walk over. "Clay you scared the crap out of him. I think you owe him a ride. What do you think Seth?" I said.
"Please grandpa. I would love it. Please." He gave the puppy eyes.
"Oh god not the eyes. Of course. You're the birthday boy. You get whatever you ask for. Within reason. Guys want to take a ride while the girls finish up here? Leah you want to come too?" He said to the room.
"Can I? I've been wanting a ride. Bella can I?" She asked me.
"Of course. Just listen to whoever takes you. Seth you be good ok. When you all get back we'll start the party." I said.
"Yay!" Seth and Leah yelled.
Jax takes Leah and Seth rides with Clay. Juice, Opie and Chibs go as well.
Once they all leave Gemma walks up to me with Able.
"How are you doing baby girl? Jax is worried about you. Said you were having some pains earlier." She said looking concerned.
"I'm doing good now. I did have a couple of pains. But I took a shower and felt better after that. Jax is making sure I don't do too much. He worries more than I do. But I'm good. What do we still need to do?" I asked.
"We need to put the pinata up. Then set up the buffet. We are having lasagna. You said he loves that right?" She asked.
"Yep it's one of his favorites." I said.
"Ok. I don't think I need any help. I want you to just relax a bit. Maybe just read to Able, and take a nap. They could be gone for a while." Gemma said.
"Ok, I'll be in Jax's old room with Abel then." I said.
Abel and I walk to the back of the club where the bedrooms were. We go into Jax's old room and I find a stack of Abel's books.
"Abel would you like me to read to you?" I asked.
"Pwese, yes" He said.
I read for a while. Until he fell asleep. I went to sleep also. I woke up to Jax kissing both of us awake.
"We're back babe. The kids had a great time. Gemma said it's time to eat and party." He said while lifting up Abel.
"Ok honey." I get up and walk out with him.
I see everyone sitting down. Seth and Leah looked happy. Really happy for the first time in a long time. I sit across from them.
"Hi guys. How was it?" I asked.
They both talked excitedly about the ride. They stopped and got something to drink and came back. They had a lot of fun.
Everyone gets up and gets a plate of food. The kids and I first. I was feeding Abel when Jax came back with some food for me. Abel was done as were some of the guys. I put him down and he ran over to Clay holding his arms up. Meaning he wanted to be held.
Clay picked him up.
"How was your nap baby?" Jax asked.
"It was good. I guess Abel and I both needed it. I'm fine I promise. I felt a lot better after my shower honey. I swear you worry too much. I'm tough. But I love you for it." I said whispering the last part in his ear.
I kiss him. Then just sit back while the kids are still thanking the guys for the ride.
Gemma and the girls take the food away and bring out the sheet cake shaped like a Harley. Everyone got up and sung happy b-day to Seth. He blew out the candles and Gemma cut the cake asking what piece he wanted.
She gave him a big corner piece just as he asked, and Cherry added a scoop of ice cream. He sat down looking happy again. He also looked sad. I knew what he was thinking so I spoke up.
I walked over to him. "Seth honey it's ok to be happy. Mom and dad wouldn't want us to be sad all the time. They are happy and I bet they are watching us now. Wondering how on earth you plan on eating that cake." We both giggled.
"Have I told you how much I love you big sis? I don't know what Leah and I would've done if we didn't have you. We would have ended up in foster care or something. We are just so lucky to have you and Jax, and grandma and grandpa and the guys. Thank you for loving us and taking us in." He gives me the biggest hug.
"Hay enough of this mushy shit. Eat your cake we have a pinata to break and did you forget your presents. You know that big table over there with all that Harley Davidson wrapping paper. I think all the guys have something for you too." Jax said hugging Seth.
"Ok sorry." He said.
"Baby don't be sorry. We will have our bad moments. This is your first b-day without them. I knew it would be hard for you. That's why I want it to be special for you." I said. I go back and sit down. Abel walks over to me. I pick him up and feed him the cake that Jax got us.
Once everyone was done Gemma got up. "Ok, I know there are a lot of games you would normally play now. But we don't do normal. Seth come here big guy." She said.
Seth got up and walked over to her. She put her arm around his waist.
"Honey we all heard you and Bella talking and we know it's hard for you and your sister. But here at the club you are family. We take care of our family, no matter what. Now it took me forever to put that f**ing pinata up. Do you care to hit it a few times and get what's inside? It's not candy just to let you know. We think it's something better." She said.
"Yes please" He said.
We all get up and go over to the middle of the room where it was hung up. There was a plastic bat by it.
"Ok you and Leah take turns hitting it. I'm not sure how easy it will be then if Abel wants to try we will let him. Ok." Gemma said.
"Ok sounds good." Seth said.
"Ok we need to put a blind fold on you then we spin you around and you hit it. We give you 3 shots then it will be Leah's turn. We will make sure no one is in the way." Clay said.
"Ok" said Seth.
Clay puts the blind fold on him and spins him. He turns Seth to the pinata and tells him to hit it. He missed the first two then hit it the third time. Then it was Leah's turn. She hit it the first time but missed the other two. They took turns hitting it, then Able wanted to try. Clay let him do it without the blind fold. It was so cute watching him try to hit it. Jax picked him up so he could reach it.
He did get in a couple of good whacks.
"Ok let's try this with no spinning and no blind fold." Clay said. The kids just grinned and nodded their heads.
Leah took her shots then Seth. Then they let Opie, Juice, Chibs and Clay take a hit. Jax even tried. Seth took a shot from the other side and it finally broke open. The dumb thing broke in half and a bunch of envelopes fell out. Clay reached over and grabbed them for Seth.
"Ok kid here you go. I'm going to make sure they all came out. Before you rip them open let me explain what they are ok?" Clay said. Seth just nodded his head.
Clay reached in the pinata and took out another stack of them. I got a glance at them and some have Leah's name. I raised my eyebrow to Clay.
"We didn't want her to feel left out. We'll do the same thing for her b-day." He whispered to me.
"Ok this is a new tradition for everyone that wants to do it. For b-days anniversaries and Christmas. I know Bella hates getting presents and we still don't know you guys too well to know what you want or need. So, Gemma and some of the girls came up with this idea. Inside some of those envelopes there is money, but some have IOU"s. For a day out with one of us or a shooting lesson. I think one of the guys put in a trip to the arcade and pizza. Also, there are a few for Leah. We didn't want you to feel left out honey." Clay said.
First Gemma went through the envelopes to separate the ones for Leah. "Ok slowly start opening them." She said.
The kids did Leah was next to me and showed me each one she opened. Some had $20 bills in them. One had a spa day with Gemma and the girls. Jax had one in there for 10 rides with him on his bike. She smiled at that one and hugged him.
"Ok Seth what did you get?" I asked
"Well way too much money. I'll want you to put it away so I can use it for sissy's b-day and Christmas. Then the IOU's that Clay told us about." He said. Then suddenly his eyes got big.
"What is it honey?" I asked. He had tears coming down. I looked at the paper and Piney put in 10 fishing trips. Just the two of them.
"Oh honey. It's ok." I held him and kissed his hair.
"I'm sorry I thought he would like it." Piney said.
"Oh Piney it's perfect. Dad used to take him all the time. He's happy." I said almost as a question as I looked at Seth.
"I'm sorry Piney. You just made me so happy. My fishing trips with dad are happy memories. We would talk and laugh. He would tell me about when he was younger and living here. Those are some of my best memories of him." He gets up and hugs Piney.
"You scared me kid. I thought I did something wrong." Piney said smiling down at Seth.
"No you did great. Even if this was the only thing I got, I would be happy. Thank you so so much. This means the world to me." He said.
I see Leah smiling at them. She gives them a thumbs up.
Seth lets go, and goes back and opens the rest. There were some from Happy to have man time to do whatever Seth wanted. He really liked that one also.
Gemma and the girls bring over the wrapped presents. There were a few for Leah as well. She picks out similar presents and hands them to the kids.
"I want you to open these first. Then I will explain what they are." She said.
The kids opened them. They looked like diaries or journals. The kids looked like they had a question.
"Ok those are journals or diaries if you prefer. When a member gets patched in. When they become an official member. They are each given a journal. It's so they can write out their thoughts on things. They will sometimes see things and can't talk about it to anyone. So, they write it down and it makes them feel better. I want you guys to do that. You don't need to worry about anyone reading them. You can put in there about a bad day, or a good one. About missing your folks. Or about the person you have a crush on talking to you for the first time. It's for anything you want. I've had one forever and it does really help." She said.
"Leah, for you I bought some more painting supplies. I want you to paint what you feel. It's another way of getting frustrations out, as well as anger. Seth some of those IOU's are for lessons in boxing and street fighting. We have a body bag and punching bag in the back in the garage. Sometimes the guys will box to get frustrations out. It's better then beating up some kid for no reason. Also, I understand some of the guys will be taking you shooting and to a batting cage. Those are more ways to get your frustration out as well as learning something. We all know you will have bad days when you will want to kill each other or someone else. You tell us and we will take you somewhere. Leah that goes for you too honey. You should learn to throw a proper punch just in case." Gemma finished.
"I think those are great ideas. Thanks Gemma. What do you guys think? I know you're sad about mom and dad. But there will be a time when we get mad and want to hit someone or something. I know I do." I said.
It was like something clicked with them both at the same time. They both smiled and ran to Gemma.
"We love it. Thank you." Seth said.
"You are so smart grandma. You're right. There are times when I want to hit something. Maybe Jax can put in a punching bag at the house. I have a feeling we will be using it a lot." She said and giggled.
"I can do that baby girl." Jax said.
"Good I was worried about you both liking them. Now open the rest." She said.
They did and sure enough Leah got more paint supplies and a gift certificate for canvas. She even gave her information on painting lessons and said she would pay for them.
Seth got clothes. Everything you can think of with the Harley logo. Pants, shirts, pj's, shoes, even his first real leather jacket. He also got a couple of model cars to build with Opie. Clay and Gemma also got each one of them a laptop. Juice promised time with each one to show them how to do stuff on them.
"Wow guys this is too much. I don't deserve all of this. But thank you. You guys are the best." Seth said. He hugs each of the guys. As Leah said and did the same thing.
Each spending more time with Gemma and Clay and talking to them. All of them tearing up.
Trying to lighten up the mood. "Ok guys we need help loading all this loot into the van. I can't wait to see what you all do for Christmas." I said.
The guys help Jax carry everything out.
I walk over to Gemma and Clay. "You guys know you over did it right? But thank you. It's been a while since I've seen the kids truly happy. Thank you." I said as I hugged them both.
"We enjoy doing it. Those kids may not be ours, but we love you all still like they were. They're good kids. We know they are going to have some bad times coming up. We want them to feel like they can talk to any of us. We love you little girl. You take such good care of them and Jax and Abel. But now you look beat. Go home and get some rest. We will see you later." Clay said hugging me again.
"Hay old man. You better get your mitts off my woman." Jax said, walking up to us.
Clay lets me go holding up his hands in surrender. "Ok ok, you should get out of here and get some rest. Have some time with your family Jax." Clay said.
Jax nods and puts his arm around me. We walk out the door. The guys were talking to the kids planning some of the outings for the following weekend. Explaining to the kids that the plans may change.
Leah said "We understand that things come up and you can't always keep your promise. Just make it up to us when you do. Thank you guys for everything."
I get in the van and Jax on his bike. We drive home.
I get the kids inside and tell them to shower and go to bed. It was late. I carried Abel to his room and changed him and put him down.
Jax brought in the rest of the presents and locked up. He took his boots off and his kutt. He turns the lights off and we go upstairs after checking on Leah and tucking her into bed. We check on Seth and he was in his new pj's and in bed snoring already.
Jax and I get into our room and change. Jax just in boxers and me in one of his t-shirts and sleeping pants. I cuddle up to him and fell asleep in no time.

NO ONE'S POV
Everyone was at the cub house just hanging out Bella was now 5 months pregnant.
"Ugh" Bella sighed.
"What's wrong?" Gemma asked as she looked over to Bella.
"The baby just likes to sit on my bladder." She replied as she got up and walked towards the bathroom.
Bella went pee then walked out to where everyone else was.
"Bells" Someone said. Bella looked up to see Clay looking at her.
"Hey Clay." Bella smiled but then frowned when she saw Clay's sad face.
"What's wrong" Bella asked as she sat up.
"You need to go calm down your old man." Was all he said as he walked away. Bella looked at Gemma then walked outside to see the guys all around a stressed out Jax.
"What's wrong?" Bella asked as she walked over towards the table.
"Bells I would stay back he's not in a good mood." Chibs said.
Bella ignored them and slowly walked over towards Jax.
"Baby what's wrong?" Bella asked as she saw Jax clutching and unclutching his hands.
"She's pregnant." Was all he said. Bella looked at the boys who all frowned.
"Who?" Bella asked as she put her hand on Jax shoulder.
"Tara" Jax growled. Bella looked at Jax and took a step back.
"What h-how." Bella said as she put her hand on her stomach.
"Bells" Juice said as he put his hand on Bella's shoulder.
"How?" Bella asked.
"She's 7 months." Jax replied as he shook his head. Bella did the math in her head then turned and gasped.
"No" Bella asked as she looked at Jax. But he just kept quiet. Bella turned around and walked inside and over towards the bar she sat down. Happy walked in fighting with Leah.
"Leah I" Happy tried to say. But Leah cried and ran towards the bathroom.
"What happened?" Bella asked as Jax and everyone else was in the clubhouse now.
"She uh I uh" Happy shuttered.
"What happened?" Bella growled.
"She got her period." Happy said as he stood there looking uncomfortable. Bella's eyes got big as she rushed into the back towards the bathroom.
"Leah sweetie its Bella open up." Bella said as she softly knocked on the door. She heard a click. Bella opened the door to see Leah sitting on the floor crying.
"Oh sweetie." Bella said as she rushed over towards her.
"Bella I'm scared." Leah said as Bella sat down next to her.
"Sweetie it will be okay. Look let's get you changed." Bella said as she got up she picked Leah up and put her on the toilet.
"Give me your clothes and take a shower real quick." Bella told Leah. Leah listened and jumped into the shower.
Bella left to get a change of clothes and went to find Lyla.
"Lyla" Bella called as she spotted Lyla with Abel.
"Hey what's up?" Lyla asked.
"Do you have any pads or tampons?" Bella asked.
"I do." Cherry answered Bella smiled and followed Cherry to the back.
"Thank you Cherry." Bella said as she kissed her on the forehead and walked back to the bathroom to find Leah just getting out.
"Okay dry yourself off." Bella ordered. Leah did and then sat on the toilet.
"This is a tampon. You use it if you're in the pool and if you have a heavy period. " Bella said as she held up the tampon.
"This is a pad, you use it when you're on your period it helps to protect the blood from getting on your jeans." Bella said as she held up the square plastic bag with pads in it.
"What do you use." Leah asked as she got dressed then sat back on the toilet.
"When I have mine I use a pad when I'm just home laying around. But when I'm out in public I use both a pad and a tampon." Bella answered as she sat down on the edge of the tub/shower.
"Then that's what I wanna do." She said. I nodded and helped her she then turned and looked at me.
"Happy was embarrassed. He took me for a ride and then we saw the blood because it was leaking all down my pants and legs he told me that uhh I got my period. I was so embarrassed. I cried and demanded for him to take me back." Leah said as she put her head down.
"You think that's bad." I said as I lifted her chin up.
"One time in class and I was sitting around a bunch of guys. I had my period and forgot to change my stupid pad -.-. And I was wearing short shorts and a spaghetti strap tank top and for some odd reason I brought a jacket to school even though it was hot. It was like fate. So anyways it was the end of class and the teacher was calling us up to pick up papers and I felt really wet for some reason and I discreetly looked between my legs and saw blood on the seat...I was like oh no please don't let me had leaked through my clothes. So, I tied my jacket around my waist and got up and I heard these guys mumbling and laughing and whispering rude things about me. I heard someone say.. "Is that blood on her?" And I could feel my face turning red I felt like crying lol...Then I went back to my seat and just sat there without saying a word to anyone until the class ended." I said as I looked at her.
"Everyone kept staring and pointing at me I just wanted to die." I told Leah.
"I got up when the bell rang and ran straight out of that classroom and from the corner of my eyes I saw the group of guys I was sitting with pointing to my seat and were like "Ewww" "Ughh that's gross" I ran to the bathroom and looked in the mirror and for some reason I could not spot where the blood was. I saw it in my crotch area but nowhere else and I was stressing out because I didn't know what people saw...So there was one more class left in the day and I heard people whispering about me then. I felt so depressed until the day ended and we went home." I said and Leah gasped.
"As I walked through the door I was in tears my dad was confused but when he saw the stain he blushed and called Sue over. Sue helped me and held me as I cried myself to sleep that night." I said as I blushed and Leah laughed.
"Bells" Leah asked as she sat up.
"Huh" I replied.
"Being a girl sucks." She said and I laughed.
"Yes it does darling." I said as I put my hand over her shoulder we walked out. Happy looked up he blushed when he saw Leah.
