CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: Pregnancy Test and Threats.

"What's in your hand?" Lacey heard Jax's voice ask from the doorway. She looked at him trying to hide it quickly. She knew it was too late, he'd already seen it. "Is that a...?"

She nodded her head pulling the pregnancy test back out from behind her. She was sitting on his bed. It took her an hour of pacing the length of Jax's dorm room to pluck up the courage to take the test.

She noticed last week that she skipped a period. It was very uncommon for her to miss a month. Last time she had been before moved to LA. Back then she knew possibly being pregnant wasn't the reason she missed it. She hadn't slept with Connor in three months and her and Jax were careful enough to use a condom. She put it down to stress which she knew could cause someone to miss a period.

"I've missed a period and there's been a few times we've got caught up in the moment. It could be other things, I just wanted to rule this one out. It's been a while since I've missed one."

He moved to sit next to her on his bed. "What if you are?"

"Honestly?" she asked him. He nodded. She let out a loud sigh. "I don't know."

He nodded again before looking down at the small stick in her hand that was about to decide their fate. "What does it say."

She looked at him nervously. There was a lot running through her head. The main thought was if she'd lose him if the test was positive. She didn't want to lose him because of something they both had a part in. She didn't want to lose him at all. She couldn't be without him. She couldn't raise a baby on her own. She looked at the test and let out a small sigh of relief seeing the negative symbol appear on the stick. She had to admit a part of her was surprised it come back negative. "I'm not pregnant."

"That's good right?"

Lacey nodded. "We're still young and have a lot going on, we have plenty of time to have a kid in the future, if we do. Just right now it'll... It wouldn't be good timing and it's pretty clear neither of us want that kind of responsibility yet."

"We can still practice though." he smirked.

She rolled her eyes. "We'll have to try not to get too caught in the moment to forget the condom."

"Can't you go on the pill?"

"Tried it. Doctor took me off it because it was messing up my periods and I was having too many side effects."

"More careful it is then."

She nodded agreeing with him. She stood up and tossed the test into the bin. She walked back over to Jax and sat sideways on his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck, her hands playing with the end of his hair. "Enough about babies, have you found anything more about who shot at you and Clay?"

He shook his head. "Everything leads to a dead end."

The club spent the last two weeks trying to figure out who shot at Jax and Clay. Going back to where it happened, and figuring out all the points, Chibs and Jax came up with possible locations from where the person could've shot the gun from. When they found the exact location they found the gun and shell casings left behind. They now knew what gun had been used. The only problem was it came back with nothing. It wasn't one of their guns and there was nothing that would identify the person. They even got Unser to help out with it. The only real lead they had was also a dead end. Lacey knew the minor details of their man hunt but she didn't know about the gun. Jax didn't want her knowing too much. She didn't want to put her into any more danger than she was being his old lady.

She frowned. "Stupid enough to fucking shoot at you but smart enough to make sure you don't fucking find them."

"We'll find him, we always do." he brushed a strand of her hair behind her ear.

She smiled and kissed him, pulling away only moments after he returned the kiss. "Just be safe when you do, I want you to come back to me, preferably in one piece."

"I'll always come back to you. You need to be safe too. We don't know who this person is. It could be anyone."

"You don't think I haven't noticed the prospect driving past my house when you're not there every two or three hours?" she joked.

"I better go talk with him because I told him every hour," he said making her laugh. He leaned forward pressing her lips to his again. He pulled away when there was a knock on his door. "What is it?" he called out.

"We have church in ten minutes." Bobby's voice came through the door.

"Alright." He said before turning his attention back to Lacey. "What are you going to do for the afternoon?"

"I'm gonna visit mom. It's been a while since I've been to see her." She got off his lap and picked up her handbag, phone and keys. She put her phone in her bag. "You staying tonight?"

"Depends what church is about."

"Don't get into too much trouble."

"Can't promise anything." He gave her one of his famous Jackson Teller smiles as he stood up and stood in front of her. She loved any kind of smile he gave her especially the one he was really known for. It could make any woman drop their panties, including her. She wasn't as immune to it as she made out to be.

"I'm not asking you to promise me anything. I just don't want to bail your ass out of jail."

"I'll get mom to do it." he smirked wrapping his arms around her waist.

"She's not going to be around forever to bail your ass out of shit you get yourself into."

"But you will be."

She playfully creased her eyebrows at him. "Only because I hate you."

"I hate you too." he smiled kissing her again. She pulled away before he could get the chance to think about deepening it.

"I'll see you later." She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and left the clubhouse making her way to the cemetery.

Lacey didn't say much as she sat in front of her mother's headstone. She just wanted to sit there and feel close to her mom again. She still missed and thought about her everyday. She found it hard to believe it had been over a year ago since she lost her. She still had days where her mom was all she wanted, the most recent one being last week when she started thinking about the possibility of being pregnant.

She pulled out her phone to look at the time. She saw she'd been at the cemetery for over an hour. She said goodbye to her mom and stood up. Just as she walked out the gates a man walked up to her, stopping her from going anywhere. He was around Jax and Opie's age. She'd never seen him before. "Hey aren't you seeing Jackson Teller?"

"I'm sure you already know the answer to that." she went to step around when he grabbed her arm. She glared at him trying to pull her arm away. His grip tightened. "Let me fucking go."

"Not until I know you'll give him a message for me."

"I'm his old lady not his messenger. If you want to give him a message, go give it to him yourself." She tried to yank her arm from his grasp again.

He pulled her closer to him. "I already have. Him and that pathetic club he's joined to are dead." He let her arm go, shoving her backwards. She lost her footing and fell, scraping her hands as she landed. She watched the man scared as he walked away. Once he was gone she quickly stood up, rushing to her car and got in, driving back to the clubhouse as fast as she could without being caught.
