AN: Another night off, low census at work! Please R&R! Thanks for the reviews, favs, and follows.
Looking around the crowded clubhouse, Devon smiled at her family, they were anxiously waiting for her and Happy to open the bag revealing the sex of the baby. Happy was standing next to her, his arm around her waist, together, they pulled out the tissue wrapped item. She unwrapped it carefully, not revealing it to anyone, Happy picked it up quickly, holding it between his hands.
He held the pink reaper sock hat above his head smiling. "Gwendolyn Marcela Lowman." She smiled as her family came around hugging them, most of the guys, teasing Happy about his daughter dating. She was pulled away from Happy, by the old ladies, and questioned about her nursery colors and decorations, what types of things she needed, and other related baby stuff.
Looking around for Happy, she saw him at the bar, knocking back shots with her brother, Opie, Chibs, and Tig. She was sure they were treating him to more little Devon stories, she wasn't a little hellion growing up, not like Jax. Well maybe she was, she was just a little bit, she just didn't get caught. She touched her stomach, thinking that, the two of them maybe in trouble when it came to little Lowman.
She glanced up, to see Happy looking at her, a smirk on his face, wondering what lies they were telling, you walked across the room. Smiling at your husband, kissing him. "Remember Jax and Opie lie!" Her brother and his friend stare at her indignantly, starting to protest.
Happy wrapped his arms around her. "What about Chibs and Tig?"
Rolling her eyes, she snorted. "Everyone knows Scotts tell wild outlandish tales, and Tig is crazy, too many drugs." She threw a look over her shoulder, blowing a kiss at the two men. "I was an angel growing up. Don't listen to these assholes."
Chibs cleared his throat, chuckling. "Was it the angel, I had to come pick up from the Principals office for putting his little sports car in the gym?"
Tig looked at him. "Oh no brother, the angel was who I picked up sophomore for letting the numbered pigs free in the school."
"Those two times, I misbehaved."
Opie and Jax snorted. "The other times you either got away with it, or you blamed us." Jax said.
"I don't recall that. Our little girl, will be a perfect angel!" She walked back across the room, knowing that they were probably in trouble.

Shelia and Renee sit across from Henry Lin at his restaurant, smiling at him. "What can I do for you ladies?"
"We understand you have a score to settle with the Sons. We'd like to help you with that." Shelia reached over, touching Henry's hand.
He pulled his hand away, looking at the two woman, smiling tensely. "What do you have in mind?"
Renee grinned, pulling out a picture of Devon, pushing it towards Henry. "You want to cause the Sons pain and suffering. Kill her, she's Son's royalty. Devon Teller-Lowman."
Henry picked up the picture smiling. "What's in it for the two of you?"
The two woman, looked at the man sitting across from them. Sheila cleared her throat. "That an uppity bitch, gets what's coming to her." Renee looked at him, licking her lips.
"Five thousand each, and we'll go get her, and bring her to you. They won't suspect us, we're familiar faces around SAMCRO."
Henry nodded his head, again smiling. "You've got a deal, here's $2,000 now, you'll get the rest when you deliver her alive and unharmed to me." He slid them the money, the woman grabbed it greedily. Standing up, they thanked him, going for the door. He pulled out his phone, dialing a number, he put the phone to his ear waiting for an answer.

Gemma and Tara were picking her up in ten minutes, they were going shopping in Oakland. It was just what she needed, a girls day out with her mom and sister-in-law. The guys were going to paint the nursery, and work on a mysterious gift while they were gone. Hearing her mom honk in the drive way, she went to kiss Happy before she left.
"Be careful today." He leaned in kissing her, his hand running over her stomach.
"Always." She smiled up at him. She turned leaving the kitchen, walking out the door to her mom's Caddy, climbing in the front seat. They had a full day ahead of them, baby shopping, pampering, lunch, and clothes shopping. She leaned back in the seat, excited for the day, pulling out of the drive, the three woman, headed to Oakland.

Renee and Shelia watched her climb into the Caddy, knowing that she was with Gemma was going to cause them problems. While Devon couldn't hurt a fly, Gemma was a whole other story. That woman scared the shit out of both of them, they went ahead and followed the Caddy, hoping that there would be an opportunity to grab the little bitch.
Once they realized that the woman were heading towards Oakland, they couldn't believe their luck. They wouldn't have far to travel, once they grabbed her, they be $8,000 richer by the end of the day.

Jax rushed into Happy and Devon's house. "I tried calling you and Dev last night. Please tell me she didn't leave yet with ma."
"She left thirty minutes ago."
"Shit! Henry Lin called me late last night. Two woman approached him about him getting payback on us by taking Dev. Said they were good with SAMCRO, and could get her and bring them to him."
Happy grabbed his phone calling his wife, his call going to voicemail, Tig hearing the conversation tried Gemma, and Jax tried Tara, both going to voicemail. "Call Juice, have him track them down!" Happy yelled out, trying to call Devon called Juice, and waited for him to ping all three cell phones, trying to pinpoint a location.
Happy was pacing the room, losing all control wondering if the danger to his family would ever stop. Tig snapped his phone shut, looking at Jax and Happy.
"They're in Oakland!"

Walking through the mall, she thought she heard her phone ringing, she stopped walking reaching into her purse. Pulling her phone out, she saw that she had two missed calls from Happy, she called him back to see what he needed. It was probably a paint question, she saw Gemma and Tara walking ahead of her.
"Why are you in Oakland?" His voice was somewhere between pissed and scared.
"Because there's a huge baby store... What's wrong?"
"You need to get home!"
"Hap, we're fine." She started to walk again, trying to catch up with her mom and Tara, she had lost them in the crowd.
"Don't argue with me, get your ass home!" She dropped her phone when she was pushed from behind, a arm snaked around her waist, pulling her down a hall. She started to scream, and fight. A hand clamp over her mouth, she continued to fight, as she was dragged further down the hall.

"Dev! Fucking answer me!" Happy could hear noise around her phone, his hands balled into a fist. He looked over to see Jax on the phone, he kept calling Dev's name but there was no answer. Then he heard Gemma's voice on the other end of the line, she and Tara had found Devon's phone and bag's where she had dropped them.
They were on their bikes, headed to Oakland. Happy had to stay focused to find his wife, once he had her home, he was going to lock her in the house to keep her and Gwendolyn safe. Parking their bikes, heading into the mall, they stopped when Jax's phone rang.
"We'll be there in five minutes." He called Gemma to come out into the parking lot, they had found Devon, and were going to get her.

She was curled up on a couch, when she woke up, looking around the room, she had no idea where she was. Feeling panicked, she got up looking around the room she was in, trying the door, she was surprised when it was open. She walked into a hall, looking for a way to escape, she followed the hall. Walking into the dinning room of a restaurant, she recognized where she was.
She knew she was in trouble, last time she checked SAMCRO and the Chinese were not playing nice. Glancing around the room, she saw it was empty, she raced towards the door, it was pulled open. Henry Lin walked in, she started backing up, her legs hitting a table. Seeing it fully set, she surveyed it for immediate weapons. Picking up a tea cup, she threw it at his head, hitting her target, she heard him swear, and grab his head.
She picked up another one and threw it at him, she was so focused on what she was doing, she didn't see Happy, Jax, and Tig walk in. All she saw were men, walking towards her, she kept throwing dishes, cups, glasses, silverware, whatever she could get her hands on. She was out of things to threw, she was backing upp to another table when , arms snaked around her waist.
She started to fight. "Love, settle down." She relaxed hearing Chibs voice, sagging against him. She then looked up, seeing her husband, brother and dad, rubbing there heads where she'd thrown things at them.
Walking towards Happy, she smiled at him, touching his face. "I'm sorry baby. I was scared and didn't see it was you."
He wrapped his arms around her, kissing her. "I'm locking you up, when I get you home."
"Are you going to tell me what happened?" She looked at him.
"Later."

Later that night, as she laid curled up next to him, she listened to him tell her what happened. Apparently Henry had called and warned Jax about the two croweaters that were after her. Henry sent his men to follow the women, when they got too close to Devon, they grabbed all three woman. Devon was taken to the restaurant to wait for her family, and the two croweaters to a warehouse.
Devon passed out when one of Lin's guys was dragging her out of the mall, Henry called Jax and told him that she was safe and where she was. She started to laugh. "I'm really sorry, about throwing stuff at you guys."
"You were just keeping you and our baby girl safe." His hand caressed her stomach. "But I now know you have an arm on you." She smiled at him, raising up to kiss him.
"Just remember that Lowman!"

Looking in the mirror she wondered when her cute baby bump, became much more, it felt like it happened over night. She rubbed coco butter over her enlarging six month stomach, she smiled as too hands wrapped around her, taking over. She turned around to face him, smiling up at him, his dark eyes were full of lust and desire. She stepped away from him, shaking her head.
"Ma will skin you alive if we're late for the baby shower." She turned around to start getting dressed, she was picked up gently, carried to the bed. He laid her down, crawling in bed with her.
"It will be well worth it!" He grinned down at her.
She laughed at him, pushing him away. "If you're good, then I promise later tonight." He groaned, laying his head between her breast. "Come on Lowman, we have to get going." He rolled off the bed, helping her up, pulling her close kissing her again. She slowly got dressed, as he sat on the bed watching her, licking his lips. Rolling her eyes, she started to walk away, he grabbed her hand, pulling her back to him.
"You're so fucking sexy!" He wrapped his hand around the back of her neck, pulling her to him kissing her.
"You're pretty hot yourself." She straightened back up, looking down at him. "You have to get ready to go, stop stalling! There's going to be beer, pizza, and cigars for you guy outside. You don't have to stay with me, and the girly food."
"Do we still get cake?" He was standing up, his arms around her.
"There might be some cupcakes for you men, but I'm not sure. Cake and cupcakes are girly food." She smiled at him. Walking towards the bedroom door, she smiled over her shoulder at him. "Hurry up!"
She left the room going downstairs, going to the fridge she grabbed a bottle of water, walking towards the front door. She watched him run down the stairs, closing her eyes, because he was just too damn sexy for his own damn good. He stopped in front of her. "Ready to go."
She shook her head at him, shoving him against the wall, undoing his belt. He smirked at her. "Thought you said we're going to be late, that Gemma will skin me alive."
"Blame it on my hormones, right now I want my sexy husband, and I don't want to wait."
