Alright guys, this is it. The last chapter. I know it's really choppy and maybe rushed a little bit. I promise it will all make sense later. So enjoy + more at the bottom!

Chapter Twelve

Jax walked across the desert, extending his hand toward Lin, nodding as he did so. It wasn't that Jax didn't like Lin, the guy was just smug all the time. He knew that what he was about to do, the deal he was about to make, it would affect the club, but right now, he didn't care. Juice didn't deserve to sit at that table, he is a rat bastard, and how the guys could just look the other way, never made any sense. How he got voted down never made any sense either and all because of some dumb blond junkie mom, she could stay alive, she had to die. Jax had made the call, but knew better then telling the entire club, he had to keep it quiet, so he relied on Juice, it was his way of getting back on Jax's good side after the Miles thing. Or maybe it wasn't any of that. Maybe deep down inside, Jax knew all along that he resented Juice in some way. Maybe it was because, although Juice never had a real family after his mother died, and his father was black and had nothing to do with him, and his crazy ass sister hated him, Juice turned to Jax's family. Gemma was like everyone's surrogate mother or den mother. She always looked out for the guys. Clay, for whatever reason, was more of a father to Juice than he was to Jax. That was something he despised to no end. His first father was dead, his second father preferred Juice over Jax, and it was proven multiple times with fists flying between the two of them. How many times did Jax think about going Nomad just to get away from all of Clays shit, but then there was always Juice, sitting pretty right next to Clay like some sort of puppy dog waiting for its owners affection.

"So what is it you need my help with?" Lin asked.

"I have a guy that needs to be taken out on the down low "What do I get out of it?"

"I'll give you the gun trade."

"How can you make the work, you're not even a patch in your own club anymore."

"I will make it work, just leave that to me and the club, I need you to do this for me. There will be no retaliation, I promise you that."

Nikki walked down the aisles of the baby store, smiling. Anyone looking at her could see she was walking on cloud nine. She was glowing, and happy, although she wasn't showing just yet, in fact her stomach was still flat, just the thought of a baby inside of her, and not just anyone's baby, but Juices baby, now that was something all in itself.

She stopped at a rack of baby clothes, blues and pinks and yellows filled her vision. She started to wonder, and put her hand across her abdomen, "Boy or girl, both? What if there is two in there?" Even that very thought couldn't break her from her happiness. She would take whatever she was given, and this time, no one or nothing would break her family, she would make sure of that.

She picked up a small yellow onesie with a freshly hatched owl on it, below it in black print it read: Just hatched

Nikki always had a fascination with owls; they were cute, curious birds. She cradled the onesie in her arm, as she made her way to the check stand. She paid for the small outfit and headed home.

Juice had big plans, asking Gemma over to the house, he needed her help. Nikki walked through the door, a smile plastered to her face. "Babe, come here, I have to show you what I bought!"

Juice did as he was told, walking over to her, shirtless and smiling. She smiled back at him, wrapping herself around him. He leaned down, and embraced her, kissing her. "What did you buy?" She smiled, and pulled out the small yellow owl onesie, and held it up. Juices face lit up, as if seeing the piece of baby clothing made it real. "We are having a baby, like we are really having a baby." He said, "This is crazy!" And laughed at the fact, it was crazy, both of them so young and still naïve about life, those two people would bring a child into this world. The love they shared between them, they would do a wonderful job of bringing up this child, Juice would make sure of that. He wouldn't be like Jax, only there part time. Sure the man loved his kids, but he could've been a better parent. Juice would make sure he was to this child. He would be there, he wouldn't let his child get taken by anyone, and he sure as hell wouldn't make the mother of his child want to take his kid and run, not like Tara did with Abel and Thomas, that wouldn't happen.

A knock on the door pulled Juice from his thoughts, and he let go of Nikki to answer the door.

"Hi baby." Gemma greeted with a kiss to Juices cheek. Gemma and Nikki had met briefly, and what Nikki knew about Gemma, she liked her. She was a motherly type person, she seemed caring enough, and the hug and kiss to the cheek only confirmed it for her.

"So what's this big thing you need help with?" Gemma asked. Instead of answering her question, Nikki lifted up the baby onesie to her stomach with a smile to her face. Gemma's face went from serious to joyous in an instant. "No!" She said, smiling. "You're pregnant?" Gemma asked, not really needing the confirmation, but needing it at the same time. "Yeah." Nikki replied. "Oh baby, that's wonderful. I'm going to be a grandma again!" Gemma was clearly happy about the news, and taking Juice into her arms, she gave him another kiss, and did the same to Nikki.

"We thought we should tell everyone, and we thought that maybe you could."

"I could do a dinner?" Gemma finished for him. "Don't worry sweetheart, I'll take care of everything. Tomorrow night we will have the big reveal."

The following night Gemma, Nikki, Lyla and Tara were buzzing around the kitchen. Gemma had told everyone that it was just a get together, and more threatening, told the guys: "You all better have your asses around that table." And because most everyone was terrified of Gemma, they all nodded and told her they would be there.

Everyone was sitting around the table, which was filled with food, laughter, and warmth, however one person was not so thrilled to be sharing the meal. Jax was staring Juice down, and the looks did not go unnoticed. Gemma and Juice had both noticed, the only difference between the two, Juice kept a smile on his face and ignored Jax for Nikki's sake. Gemma wasn't so nice, "Come help me in the kitchen with something." Gemma said, tapping Jax's shoulder. Jax nodded, and followed his mother into the kitchen.

"Mind telling me why you are killing Juice with your eyes, don't think that no one notices."

"It's between him and me, mom."

"If it is because of what happened between the two of you, and the whole patch thing, can you put it to the side just for tonight? It's a special night, and maybe after you find out why, you might have a change of heart."

"Why?"

Half way through the meal Juice stood up, Nikki standing next to him, "We have some news." Juice said.

"I'm pregnant!" Nikki said in the most happy and cheerful voice. Although she hardly knew the guys, and kept her distance, everyone stood and applauded the couple. They all took turns hugging Nikki and Juice and personally congratulating them, and even going as far as telling them they would be there for whatever they needed. It was the first time Nikki felt like she was back in a family environment. This family of bikers and outlaws, they were her new family now.

Alright, so this is the end, but don't worry, I am working on the second series, which will be called The Butterflies Nest. Also let me know what you guys are thinking with the whole Jax and Lin thing, I'm curious to hear your ideas! Also after you are done reading and reviewing this chapter, go over and read my new Slash fic called: Electric.
