Hidden

The Future

5 Years Later

Jax and I, we're doing great. We moved back into him old house shortly after Rat got better. I ended my lease. We started keeping up more with Wendy. We don't see the boys because Jax wanted them kept far away from this. I understand that.

We decided not to get married. We love each other but we both know marriage has ended badly for him and his family. I get that too. I'm fine being the biker queen. He hasn't strayed from me and I feel fortunate for that. He's been dedicated to me and been keep the Sons on the more legal path.

Life right now was going fantastic. Everything was going good fantastic till today. I have been sick every morning for a week. I've two weeks late on my period. This was not my plan actually I don't want this. We agreed no kids and no wedding.

I called over Rat and Chibs. Chibs was the closest to Jax and new how he'd react. Rat has been my friend since day one. I think the fire made us better friends.

"Alright boys. I seriously need some help right now. I need you to give me an opinion on what I need to do next?"

"What's wrong? Why are we here right now and not Jax?"

"This is why."

I pulled two pregnancy tests out of my purse on the cabinet. I sat them on the table and Rat looked shocked. Chibs had a smile on his face. He got up and hugged me.

"No no. This isn't happy. We agreed no kids and no wedding. I agreed and I'm fine with that. What do I do now?"

"Listen he's gonna love you. He hasn't acted this way over a woman since well. But the point is, he's gone out of his way to make life better and cleaner. Maybe you should talk to him."

"That rival gang is back. I just don't think this is the time Chibs. Maybe it's too much."

"Talk to him. Chibs is right. You should be worried about this alone."

We sat and talked about what I needed to do. We talked about the rival gang and how the club was doing. I still have my job so that's a step in the right direction.

Jax was still at the clubhouse working in a budget or something with money. Tonight was a night to bring home money so he was always in a good mood. I waiting till about eight and heard his motorcycle pull into the driveway. My stomach turned and I started getting sick. I ran to the bathroom really quick when I heard the door open.

"Hey Darlin! Rose! Baby where are you? Hey what are you doing? Are you okay?"

"I'm so sorry. This isn't how I wanted to have this conversation."

"What conversation? What's going on? Are you sick?"

"Well kind of. I need you to probably sit down and let me get cleaned up."

He sat in the living room while I finished up. I washed my face and pulled the pregnancy tests out of the bathroom drawer. I wasn't ready for this. This isn't even what we had plans. Before I got myself sick, I strolled out of the bathroom with the tests.

"No please don't get mad at me. I swear I didn't know this would happen. I'm on medication for this not to happen. I have pills."

"You're pregnant?"

"I'm sorry Jax. I swear I'm so sorry."

He had his head in his hands. I sat the two tests on the table. I stepped back and felt my stomach turn. He picked up both tests and looked at the two pink lines. Pregnant. He sat there just quiet. I didn't know what I was going to do or what he was going to say.
