Teen Mom: SAMCRO Edition

Chapter Two: Avery

Author's Note: In this universe, Carly raised Avery as her own daughter. I haven't paid attention since the character of Avery was born on GH so I have no idea who's raising the kid.

Avery paced the floor of her off-campus apartment as she thought about what to do. The freshman UCLA student was pregnant, with an outlaw's baby...just like her older sister. Her mom and dad were going to murder her. She had to tell Opie first. He had the right to know before anyone else.

To get Opie's phone number, she called her sister, Molly. The last time the two of them had spoken, her older sister had told her that she was staying with their sister, Kristina, and her new husband, Jax in Charming until Kristina had her baby. Kristina was super close to her due date and her doctor had put her on bed rest. Molly was looking after bother Kristina and Kristina's adopted two-year-old son, Abel. Her sister hadn't asked too many questions and retrieved the number off of Kristina's cell phone without telling her, just as Avery requested. That was one of Molly's best qualities. She respected other people's privacy.

Seated in her favorite overstuffed armchair in her living room, Avery dialed Opie's phone number. He answered on the fourth ring. "Opie, we really need to talk."

"Avery?"

"Yeah," she tucked a piece of hair behind her ear. "I need to see you in person. It's important and...it's about our secret."

Mention of their night together was all Opie needed to hear to agree to drive down to LA from Charming. He arrived late the next night.

"What's wrong?" Those were the first words out of Opie's mouth as soon as he stepped foot in her apartment.

Avery could feel the tears welling up in her eyes but she silently prayed that they wouldn't fall. She led Opie to her living room where they both took seats on the couch. "Opie," she licked her lips. "I'm pregnant...and it's yours."

"Are you sure?"

Avery would normally have been offended by that question but she had seen the type of women who hung around his MC's clubhouse. It was a valid question to Opie and he meant no offense. "You're the only person I've ever been with." Nice to know that he had been just as drunk as her and didn't remember that little detail.

Opie surprised her when he reached over and took her hand. "You won't be on your own, I promise. I won't lie to you though, I really hope you decide to keep it."

"I'm going to keep it." There had never been a question about that. Avery didn't believe in abortion unless it was done after a woman had been sexually assaulted or her life was at risk. If you simply forgot the condom...congrats Mommy and Daddy.

"Good," he surprised her further when he brought the hand he was holding up to his lips and laid a kiss on her knuckles.

That simple act of unexpected kindness had the tears Avery had been trying to keep at bay silently streaming down her face.

Opie pulled her into his arms and allowed her to cry into his chest. "Everything's going to be okay, I swear," he vowed.
