Candice sat on her bed and looked at all the boxes and sighed. She heard the door open and looked up to see Max and Brian in the hallway. She smiled as they walked in and sat on either side of her.

"You can stay." Max stated, hugging her to him.

She laid her head on his shoulder, "I know, but it wouldn't be right. I can't get any work since Gary told everyone I hit him and stole money. Staying with Jax will be fine. We all knew I'd end up there anyway. I just wanted to try being on my own."

Both men laid their heads on their friend and held her. She had become close to both of them and really didn't want to move. She had talked to her dad and Jax about the whole thing when she couldn't get work. It pissed Jax off and she had to calm him down, which took about two hours, just so he wouldn't go after the guy. SAMCRO didn't need the outcome and he just got his VP patch, she didn't want to be a reason he got it taken from him.

"KNOCK KNOCK"

All three looked up to see Jax and Harry standing in the hall. She smiled and stood up.

"Hey, it's all ready. The furniture goes back to dad's for the baby to use when you need it, Harry."

The bikers nodded and then all the men helped her get her things onto the trailer. She walked across the street to the shop to wait on them to finish taking everything out. So much had happened in the five months since moving here and she didn't know how she ended up here. How just wanting her dad and brother to take care of her to moving in with Jax. She never expected to find love, never expected someone to want her after what Kenny did. She smiled and sat on the curb, just watching her boys load up the trailer.

"Hey."

She looked up and shielded her eyes to see Donna. "Hey, pull up some cement."

Donna chuckled and sat next to her. "You alright?"

She smiled and looked away from the man who held her heart. "Oddly enough, yes. I didn't think I'd ever be alright, not after Kenny. Jax was certainly not something that I thought would or could happen when I came home."

Donna pulled her sister in law to her. "I don't think he really planned on you either. Tara was a bitch and most of us could see how she wanted to change him. When she left, we thought she broke what was left of him. You fixed him, Candice. You brought him back and he'll never leave you. He'll die for you, he'll hurt people for you. Y'know that right?"

"I know. I'd do the same." she whispered as the men all started heading to them.

"Y'ready?" Jax asked, holding out a hand to let her up.

"As I'll ever be, Teller."


Candice found him laying on his porch and staring at the stars when she finished putting the last of her clothes in his closet. She watched him for a bit before walking and standing over him. "Stargazing, Teller?"

Jax smiled and looked at her. He sat up and wrapped his hands around her thighs, pulling her down and on top of him. "You were busy."

She pulled back a bit. "Oh yeah, well if you had any kind of organization it wouldn't have taken as long."

"Oh ho, I can think of something else I wouldn't mind doing." He stated, rolling them over so he was settled between her legs. She looked up at him and smiled. "Oh yeah, like what?"

She watched him smile and a twinkle show in his eye as he leaned down and touched his lips to hers. She smiled as he asked for permission with his tongue to enter. Her hand ran up his arms and her fingers tangled in his hair to keep him to her. When air was needed, Jax kissed his way down her jaw and nibbled on the spot just above her collarbone. She arched her back and Jax looked up to see her eyes had grown darker. "Wrap yourself around me."

She nodded and put her arms and legs around him. Jax waited till he was sure she was secure and got up on all fours. He wrapped one arm around her and leaned back so that he could stand. She started to nibble on his neck as he started to walk. As soon as he got them inside the door, he put her in the floor and climbed on top of her. She smiled against his mouth as his lips reached hers. She ran her hands down his back and to the bottom of his shirt. He pulled back just long enough for his shirt to come off. He smiled and looked into her eyes as he lifted hers off and over her head.

Her back arched as his hand found it's way to her breast and he used his other to reach the clasp and undid the bra. She watched as he slowly ran his hand down each arm and took her bra off. He looked back into her eyes and she saw the hunger he always had when they were like this. He leaned down and kissed her, tongues automatically coming out to dance together. She moaned as his hands found their way under her skirt and to the place she needed him the most.

She moaned against his tongue as his fingers found the spot that always made her scream out. As he worked his magic with his finger, Candice's found their way to the button on his jeans. He groaned against her mouth as she wrapped her hand around him. He lifted his head up to see her looking back at him. "Make love to me." she whispered.

He smiled and pulled out the foil packet from his back pocket. She watched as he stood up and let his jeans fall and stepped out of them. She watched as he fell back on his knees and grabbed the waist of her skirt, taking it down with her underwear. She sat up as he was about to slip it on and grabbed his wrist. "I wanna do it."

He nodded and she took the packet out of his hands. She kissed him as her fingers rolled the condom down his shaft. He laid her back slowly, not breaking the kiss. As they laid back, he pulled back and looked into her eyes. "I love you."

She smiled. "I love you too."

He watched as her back arched and her eyes closed as he entered her. He took a slow pace with her, kissing her lightly on the lips. As the passion between them heated up, Jax pushed himself up onto his arms so he could hit her just right and a bit harder. He watched as she came undone under him and let himself go a few thrusts after her, making sure to fall next to her when he gave out. She rolled over and found him looking at her. She smiled and leaned in, kissing him softly.

"I have a feeling you planned this."

He smiled and kissed her back. "No, but one can hope that his old lady would let him have his way with her when she moves in."

He watched the startled look hit her eye and he knew why. He hadn't called her his old lady yet. She sat up and turned to look out the door that was still open. Jax sat up next to her and kissed the back of her shoulder. She turned to look at him to see his face full of worry and sighed. "D'you really mean it?"

He put a hand to her face and wiped a tear off her cheek. "More then ever, Candice."

He watched her eyes light up as she smiled and leaned in to kiss him. "I like it. Come on Teller, take me to bed."

"Yes ma'am." He grabbed her lifted her over his shoulder as she squealed, taking her to the room he now shared with her.


Jax woke up to the smell of bacon and smiled. He ran a hand down his face and sat up. He grabbed his sheet and wrapped it around him, heading to the kitchen. He padded down and found Gemma with his girl sitting at the table with some coffee. "Mornin' Ma."

She smirked, "Morning, Jax."

She raised an eyebrow and Jax just shrugged. "You come before 10 then you have to live with my attire. Mornin' baby." He replied, giving his old lady a kiss.

"Morning, your jeans are in the dryer."

He took her in his arms and then looked at her. "You alright?"

She nodded, "Yeah, Just woke up early. Bad dream."

He nodded and kissed her forehead. "Alright. I'm going to get dressed. See you at the shop."

She nodded and watched him walk back to their room.

She sat next to Gemma and put her head in her hands. Gemma watched and switched to one of the seats next to the red head. She pulled her to her and waited. Candice had called her to come over saying she needed to talk about something, about what though, she didn't say. Jax walked back into the kitchen and looked at the two women that meant the most to him. Gemma looked up and shook her head, letting him know they'd meet him at the shop in a few. When Candice heard the bike take off she looked out the window and watched him drive off. "I'm pregnant, Gemma."


Jax slammed the wrench down, not being able to get what he left this morning out of his head. He stood up and noticed everyone looking at him. He shook his head and then turned to take a smoke break, seeing Candice pull up in her car. He walked over to her when he noticed she was walking to him. She could see the concern on his face and she knew he was thinking worse then it was, or what she hoped was worse. She knew they both loved each other, she just didn't know if he loved her this much. They met in the middle and she gave him a hug and let out a breath when he pulled her into him and sighed. "I thought you were upset about last night." He whispered in her ear.

She pulled back and cupped his face in her hands. "You calling me your old lady was the best thing ever. I know I'm still kinda new at this, but I love you so damn much. I just hope you'll love me after I tell you something. Can we go to your room?"

He nodded and took her hand, leading her into the clubhouse.

Candice walked into the room in front of him and could smell the skank that used to house her boyfriend. She remembered why she hated this room, what it represented. She turned back to him to find the door closed and him leaning against it, waiting. She made to sit on the bed and then thought better of it and stood back up. Jax watched her walk around the room and tried to be patient with what she had to tell him.

"Coming here, I never thought...I never thought someone could want me, not after Kenny."

He made to say something and she held her hand up, silencing him. She looked away again and continued looking through his things. "I thought I was damaged, used, dirty...and then you. You made me feel beautiful and wanted. You made me feel protected when I didn't want you too. You were the first person on my head after being here for a day and it scared the fuck out of me. You calling me your old lady last night was the best ever. Jax, I..."

She felt him wrap her in his arms and started crying. He kissed the back of her head and whispered in her ear. "Whatever it is, I'm here. Don't shut me out, please. When I left after seeing you with my mom this morning...Candice, please."

She closed her eyes and turned around. She opened her eyes to see his looking back at her. She remembered how he had told her that some relationships run at different paces and she was hoping he would still think that way. She ran her tongue over her bottom lip and nodded. "I'm pregnant, Jackson."


She had been watching him stand there and stare at the same spot on the wall for about an hour. He hadn't said anything since she told him and she was getting scared. She knew Gemma would keep everyone out and cover for the both of them so she wasn't really worrying. She had sat down in one of the black chairs and just watched him, hoping he was alright.

"A baby."

She jumped, having dozed a bit while sitting. She looked up to see him sit on the bed and looked at him. She watched as his hands fisted his hair and got down on her knees in front of him. She cupped his face in her hands and tilted his head up. He saw the worry in her face and smiled. "I'm just shocked is all, Candice." he whispered.

"Me too. Gemma took me right after you and I started to the doctor to make sure nothing happened. I set a timer on my phone and everything to make sure I was on time to take them. I'm almost 19, Jax."

He pulled her to him and hugged her close. "I know, baby."

He pulled back a bit and put her face in his hands. "I love you and I love that you're carrying a baby for me. Don't ever doubt that, Candice."

She just nodded and smiled as he leaned in and kissed her.

"I love you too, Jax. Are we really ready for this?"

She watched as he smiled and nodded. "I think we could be. I mean we're in the same house and you don't have to work anymore. We can focus on the baby. I don't have to go anywhere and since your pregnant, Clay may want to keep me here. One day at a time, Candice."

She nodded, "Alright, one day at a time."

He kissed her once more and then led her out of the room so he could get back to work and she could go get her check.

Alright, two in one day. Thanks to nikki9235 and awprncss4386 and all the others I have seen leave comments. That's all for today though, hopefully tomorrow though. Have a good night everyone-Brianna
