Moving the wand around, he clicked. "Congratulations mom and dad, looks like your having a girl." Happy lowered his lips to hers, kissing her, she could feel the tears running down his face.
"You okay there dad?" She looked up at him.
He wiped his tears away on the sleeve of his shirt. "She ain't dating til she's a hundred! No way in hell she's dating a biker either!" Devon laughed at his comments. "It ain't funny Dev!"
The doctor wiped the gel off her stomach, smiling at the couple. "Any questions."
"Am I clear to go back to normal activities?"
"You are one hundred percent allowed to go back to normal activity. Stop at the desk and make an appointment for next month. Call if you have any problems." The doctor left the room, she fixed her clothes, pushing herself into a sitting position. Happy still locked like he was in a state of shock, at the news of having a girl.
"What's wrong?" His arms went around her, helping her off the table.
"Assholes like me will be chasing my baby girl." She let out another laugh, cupping his face.
"Baby, you have a long time before you have to worry about that." His arm stayed around her waist as they left the hospital, going into the parking lot. He walked her to her car, stopping to kiss her.
"You going home now?" His hands were running up and down her back. She smiled at him, going over her to do lisit that she had to put on hold for the last two weeks.
"I thought I'd go pick up some paint samples for the nursery, run a few errands..."
"Get some rest." He looked down at her, lowering his lips to hers. She rolled her eyes, knowing she'd probably need a nap at some point. Wrapping her arms around his waist, she laid her head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat.
"Yes, I will fit a nap in. Do you want me to bring you lunch?" He kissed her again.
"No, I want you at home resting." She climbed into her car, getting ready to pull out of the parking lot. He knocked on her window, she rolled it down, looking at him.
"Did you forget something?" He reached in, kissing her.
"Be careful."

She had decided on lavender butterfly bedding, she had pulled several different shades of purple with accent colors for the room. She knew that Happy would want to paint a mural on the wall for his daughter, they would discuss that too. She went to the baby store, picking up the bedding, and to buy some little girl clothes. Carrying them to her car, she put them in the trunk.
Frowning at her car, she knew that they needed to get a new car, her little sports car was fun to drive, but not baby friendly. They needed to do that in the next few months. She needed to sit down, and make a list of everything they needed for the baby. Pulling into the garage, she carried her bags in, dropping them near the door.
Stopping in the kitchen, she fixed herself some lunch, then planned a nap. She'd just laid down in bed, was curled up, falling to sleep, when her phone rang. She reached for it, whining that she was being disturbed. "Hello?"
"Dev, you need to get to the clubhouse as soon as you can!"
"Jax? What's going on?"
"You just need to get here."
Sitting up slowly, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes, she looked around the room. "I'll be there soon." She rolled from the bed, getting dressed, wondering what the hell was going on. She got in her car, driving to the clubhouse, pulling into the lot, storming inside scanning the room. Not seeing Happy or Jax, she stood aat the door, until she saw Chibs, covered in blood.
She walked over to him. "Chibs, what's going on?" His eyes were full of worry, as he took her in, his eyes cut towards the chapel doors. She followed his eyes, walking towards them, just stepping out of his grasp. Stepping inside the room, Tig was laying on the table, a bullet wound in his shoulder, Jax standing at his side.
"Where's Hap?" Neither man answered her, they both looked away. "Where's my husband?" She didn't yell it this time, but she asked a little more loudly. Chibs came back into the room, grabbing her shoulders.
"Calm down love, it's not good for you or the baby to get this upset." She raised her eyebrows at him, waiting for an answer.
"If someone doesn't start answering my questions, all hell will break loose!"
Jax walked over to her, his hands going to her shoulders. "He's being held hostage by the Chinese. We're going to get him back." She closed her eyes, knowing that this wasn't good. The Chinese were the ones responsible for the explosion a couple of weeks ago, ow they had him. There was a good chance, he might not come home.
She closed her eyes, she could hear her heart beating, she felt hot, she couldn't breath, he legs started to get weak. She felt herself falling towards the floor, she heard her name being called, as she started towards the floor.

She regained consciousness in Happy's dorm room, a cold cloth on her forehead, Gemma sitting next to her bed. Opening her eyes, she let out a moan, sitting up slowly she looked around the room. Hoping that it was just a bad dream, that Happy was really in the other room. "Just lay back and relax baby."
"Hap?" She looked at her mom, hopeful. "Is Tig okay?"
"They went after Hap. Tig will recover, he's being taking care of by some croweaters."
Laying back, she knew she needed to relax for their baby girl. Her hands went to her stomach, she felt the baby give a good kick, she smiled. Gemma leaned forward, putting her hands on her stomach, smiling when she was rewarded with a kick. The sound of bikes coming back, made both woman, get up, leaving the room. Going outside, she watched the van pull in, holding her breath, waiting to see if Happy was with them.
The door opened, Happy stumbled out, bruised and bloody, she took a few steps towards him. She stopped in front of him, not knowing his injuries, she didn't want to hurt him. He held his arms open to her, she walked into them, he wrapped his arms around her.
"I'm fine baby." Kissing the top of her head, she melted into his embrace, relieved that he was back.
"I was so worried about you." She wrapped her arms around him. "Let's get you inside." They went inside together, going back to his dorm room, he kicked the door shut, pulling her into his arms. His lips captured hers, moving her back towards the door, his hands moving over her body. Looking down in her eyes, he cupped her face.
"I'm alright." She nodded her head, trying not to cry. She leaned into his embrace, he pulled her towards the bed. "I just want to lay down with my wife." She pulled her clothes off, crawling into bed, waiting for him. She watched as he kicked off his boots, then took off his clothes, crawling into bed with her. His arms pulling her against him, his hands going to her stomach, feeling the baby kick.
He smiled, leaning down, he kissed her stomach. "I love you baby girl." He raised up, kissing Devon. "I love you." She wrapped her arms around him, smiling.
"We both love you too." Laying next to him, they fell asleep in each others arms.

Leaning against the counter in the clubhouse kitchen, she was fixing herself a sandwich, the croweaters that had been talking bad about her and Happy in Gemma's kitchen walked in. Looking her up and down, they started to laugh, not wanting to deal with them, she was just going to walk away, leave the room.
"Where you going fat ass?" One of them gave her a small push, she lost her balance grabbing the table for support.
The other woman laughed. "She's so fat, she can't even walk." The woman shoved her backwards, Devon stumbled, falling backwards hitting her hip on the stove hard. She cried out in pain, as Chibs came into the kitchen, glaring at the two croweaters.
"What's going on. You okay sweet girl?" He walked over at Dev, she looked away not wanting to answer him. He'd heard what was going on, he turned to the two woman. "Get your shit and get out, before I start collecting smiley face tattoos. Don't come back, you're no longer welcome here." He shoved them towards the door.
Chibs walked towards her, frowning at her. "Did they hurt you?"
"I'm fine." Her hip maybe bruised, that would be the the most of her injuries. She smiled at him, moving towards him. "No worries." Forgetting her sandwich, she left the kitchen going back to the dorm room to lay down with Happy, crawling back into bed with him, she wrapped herself around him.

She laid awake in bed, while their daughter kicked her, she smiled rubbing her stomach. She watched Happy sleeping next to her, he looked so peaceful and relaxed. Shifting positions in bed, she felt his arms going around her, pulling her to him, his hands resting on her stomach. She heard him chuckle, had the kick he got, his hand started to rub over the spot where their baby girl was kicking.
She settled down after a few gentle rubs, like she knew that her daddy was the one doing it, she was already proving to be a daddy's girl and she still had another four months until she was born. Devon slowly started to relax against, Happy falling back to sleep, his hands still rubbing small circles on her stomach. She let out a content sigh, as his arms pulled her further back against him.
Little did she know that across town, the two croweaters, Shelia and Renee were sitting in their apartment, coming up with ways of getting back at her. They were pissed off that they'd been banned from the clubhouse. Getting drunk, and shooting up, they were going to make a trip to Oakland tomorrow for Chinese.
