"So what do you think babe, boy or girl?" Jax asked.
"I'm thinking girl. What about you?"
"I'm good either way so long as our baby is healthy."
The picture came up on the ultrasound machine and after a bit of manipulating the tech told them their baby looked good and healthy, she also put the gender revealing picture in a envelope as requested. As soon as they left the hospital they headed for home. where Donna and Opie were waiting.
"Are you ready?" Donna asked.
"On 3...1,2,3" Tara said and both women torn open their envelopes.
They looked at each other, smiled, and presented the pictures to their respective spouses.
"Holy shit." Jax and Opie said simultaneously. In a few months there would another woman in their lives. They looked at each other with a healthy amount of fear. Neither one of them had sisters growing up and knew shit about raising a girl. They were traveling into uncharted territory and being a father just got very real.
Both were snapped of their haze when they heard the words they had come to loathe: "Is it hot in here?" Tara asked
"I'm burning up." Donna replied.
"Can you imagine being pregnant during the summer?" Tara asked turning down the thermostat.
"I think that would be torture." Donna said with a laugh.
"Jesus it already feels like an igloo in here." Jax said.
"You should come to our house." Opie lamented. "The AC hasn't turned off in days."
"You two try carrying around another person, who presses on your bladder, kicks at random times, and makes it hard to breathe, then you can complain." Tara said teasingly.
"Speaking of the bladder." Donna said. "Little help here, I can't get up."
Opie pulled Donna up and watched her waddle to the bathroom for what seemed like the 10th time in the last hour. Opie swore he had never seen her look more beautiful than with her swollen belly. Her body was sensitive and he could have her moaning and screaming in no time. His favorite thing to do was come up behind her, massage her swollen breasts until Donna was beginning him for release. He loved teasing her and would take his time, sucking her nipples and running his finger over her clit until she was dripping wet. He'd place her on top of him and slowly sink into her. He'd let her set the pace, and would match her thrust for thrust until she was pulsating and screaming his name. Even though they had made love hundreds of times before, that feeling of her insides clenching him was always his undoing. He'd get one or two more thrusts in before his own climax.
The bathroom door opened, "You two have to go home." Tara said.
"Is everything okay?"
"Everything is fine, but I'm horny as hell right now and I can't diddle my husband with people in my house."
"Fair enough. I think I could use a good shagging too."
The girls emerged from the bathroom and Donna informed everyone they were going home. Opie started to protest, but once Donna gave him the "come hither" look he practically picked her up and ran out the front door.
"Wonder what they're leaving for?" Jax asked laughing.
"What we're about to do." Tara said as she removed her top and bra. She knew the 2 cup size increase drove her husband crazy and she wanted him right here and now. She slowly removed her pants and underwear, slipped her hand down her husband's pants, and began to massage his crotch. Jax was instantly hard and Tara's fingers felt magical. He was thrusting into her hand and desperately wanted out of his jeans. He pulled Tara's hand away, quickly disrobed, and began a slow and maddening tease to her breasts; laying kisses to every part purposefully avoiding the nipple, until Tara was cursing him. With a grin he took a hard, pink nipple into his mouth, softly and slowly licking and sucking, alternating between each breast.
"Jax I need you inside of me. Right now."
"You ready?" Jax asked running a finger over her clit.
"If you don't stop that I'm going to come right now."
Jax ceased his ministrations and positioned himself between her thighs. He could feel the heat radiating from her and let out a soft moan as he slid home. Tara sucked in a sharp breath as Jax fully sheathed himself inside her. Every nerve in her body was centered where they joined and she wrapped her legs around her husband, encouraging him to move faster. Jax was above her, pumping into her hard and fast, wanting to bring them both release. He could feel Tara tensing beneath him and flipped them so she was on top.
"I want to see you when you come." he whispered.
"Keep doing what you're doing baby. That feels so good."
Tara met Jax thrust for thrust, grinding against his body, and pulling him up for a deep kiss. They continued their rhythm and Jax could feel Tara holding back and he wasn't having any of it. He angled his hips and picked up his speed.
"Come for me baby."
"Come with me."
Jax pulled her in for a kiss and slipped his hand between them. He began to lightly run his thumb over Tara's clit and slipped his tongue into her mouth, entwining them together. The sensations were too much for Tara, and she erupted, yelling Jax's name. The moment he felt her clench down on him, he moaned her name as they came together.
"Fuck baby. That was fantastic." Jax breathed out.
"You have no idea." Tara said. "My body is still twitching."
"We need to get off the floor."
Tara rose and started for the bedroom. "You coming?"
Jax didn't have to be asked twice.
The months went by too quickly and before anyone had a chance to breathe, it was delivery time. Even though Tara's due date was two weeks behind Donna she found herself in labor early. She had called Jax at the shop and told him it was go time. Jax had almost broke his neck grabbing all his shit and hollering at Opie they were headed to the hospital. He made it home in record time, loaded everyone up, and hauled ass to the hospital.
They made it just in time to get Tara prepped and into delivery. Thirty minutes later Abi Knowles Teller made her grand entrance into the world. When the doctor laid her on Tara's breast both she and Jax cried.
Opie and a very pregnant Donna showed up the next day to congratulate the new parents and to bring their niece her first teddy bear. Abi warmed up to her Uncle Opie immediately, wrapping her tiny hand around one of his fingers and softly cooing.
"You're never dating." Opie said gently.
"No she's not." Jax chimed in.
"I can't wait until ours get here." Opie said.
"You and me both. I'm as big as a house and I haven't seen my feet for months." Donna added. "How did her heart tests come out?"
"She's solid. Lucky for us she got the Knowles heart. No family flaw for this Teller." Jax replied.
As the hours passed and the couples marveled over the newest member of their family Tara couldn't help but notice Donna biting her lip and shifting as if she was uncomfortable. The doctor in her started watching the clock and making note of how much time passed between each occurrence.
"Donna are you okay?" she asked.
"Honey, is everything okay?"
"I'm sorry to break up our party, but I think Jenni is ready to join us."
Tara buzzed for the nurse and Donna was wheeled away with a nervous Opie following. Jax and Tara were excited; their niece and Abi might have the same birthday!
There was to be no such luck. For as quick as Tara's labor was, Donna's was long and filled with trepidation. Opie stayed by her side and did his best to hide his worry, speaking only words of love or encouragement. There was no hiding hiding his fear when Jenni's heart beat dropped dangerously low at the 15 hour mark and an emergency c-section was ordered.
Opie called to update Jax and Tara before going into surgery with Donna.
"What's going on?" Jax asked.
"Jenni's in distress. They're doing a c-section" Tara said.
An hour passed and Jax swore Tara went white when Opie called. He felt the breath leave his body and tried to ready himself for what he was sure Tara was going to tell him. He needed to be strong for his family and Opie.
"Babe is everything okay?"
"Donna almost bled out on the table." she said quietly.
"Is she okay? Is Jenni okay?"
"She pulled through. She's in ICU, Jenni is in the NICU, everyone is alive."
"Thank God" Jax said pulling Tara in for a tight hug.
A week after almost losing part of his family Jax was relieved to know they were being released to come home. Tears were shed and hugs were held a little longer than usual. Jenni was cooed and fussed over and was introduced to the girl who would become her partner in crime. It was the beginning of a lifelong friendship.
