Chapter 9
The next morning, we head to the clubhouse and as soon as I sit down, the prospect puts a cup of coffee in front of me and Koz looks at me. "I can have one cup a day. That's what the doctor said." I say. "She's right Koz. One cup a day won't hurt the baby." Tara says as she walks in. I look at her and smile and she smiles back. I drink my coffee and Koz is standing behind me with his arm around me and his hand on my stomach. "How you feeling Doll?" Tig asks as he walks up. "I'm really good, Tiggy." I say. I look at Koz and he nods. "Tiggy, can I ask you something?" I ask. "Sure baby girl. What is it?" he asks worried. "Will you be the baby's godfather?" I ask. His eyes go wide and so does his smile and he says "I'd love that baby." He says as he pulls me into a hug and then pulls Koz into one.
Koz heads to work and I head to the office to hang out with Gemma and when I walk in she asks "How are you baby?" I smile and say "Me and baby are doing great." I tell her. "Good." she says. "We asked Tig to be the godfather." I tell her. "I bet that made his day." she says. "I think it did too. But I was going to ask you to be grandma." I say. "Absolutely baby." she says. "Now just to ask Tara to be the godmother and and Chibs to be the grandfather and we are set." I tell her. I look out the door and see both of them standing outside. "I'll be back." I tell her. I walk over to them and ask "Can I talk to you two?" They nod and I say "I was wondering, Tara if you would be our baby's godmother?" I ask and she pulls me into a hug and says "Of course I will." I look at Chibs and say "Kid needs a grandpa. You up for it?" He pulls me to him and says "Hell yeah Lass." he says and I start tearing up. "You okay Lass?" I nod and say "Hormones." I head back to the office and things just seem perfect.
Later that evening, we are hanging around the clubhouse and the croweater goes to sit a beer in front of me and I say "Water please." She smiles and hands the beer to Koz before getting me water. "You okay?" she asks me. "Yeah. Little nauseous." I say and she says "Please tell me you aren't getting sick." I laugh and say "No. Just preggers." She smiles wide and says "Well, congrats. Let me know if you need anything." she says. "Actually, can you get some crackers for me?" I ask. "Coming right up." she says. Next thing I know, Koz says "They really seem to respect you." The croweater says "It's because she shows us respect." I smile at her as she puts the sleeve of crackers in front of me with a Ginger Ale. "This will help better than the water." she tells me and I smile at her.
We head to bed that night and decide to crash at the clubhouse. Lying in bed, my back is to Koz and his arm is around me with his hand on my stomach. I move my hand over his and lace my fingers with his and snuggle closer to him. "I love you baby." he says. "I love you too, Kozi. More than you know." He kisses my bare shoulder and asks "Are you happy about the baby?" Smiling, I say "I am really happy about this baby. I keep thinking about if it will be a momma's boy or a daddy's girl. I wonder what features the baby will get from me and what he or she will get from you." I tell him. "I think about that too. But I think I want a daddy's girl." he says. "I want a boy. Herman Evan Jr." I tell him. He turns me around to face him and says "You want to name the baby after me if it's a boy?" he asks. "Yeah. I do baby. You're the most important person to me other than this baby." I tell him. He smiles wide and says "Then if we have a girl I want Amelia Marie." I look at him and say "I love it." He says "It's after Happy's mom." I look at him shocked and say "He needs to be a godfather too." I tell him. "I agree. We'll ask him in the morning." Koz says and I snuggle into him and we drift off to sleep.
