In a quiet moment, Bellatrix slipped a sonogram photo into Tig's wallet while he was preoccupied, a silent yet significant reveal of her secret

***

Tig entered the flower shop, intent on surprising Trixie with a bouquet. As he reached for his wallet to pay, the sonogram photo slipped out, falling to the counter with a soft thud. The florist noticed and smiled, "Congratulations! Is this your first?" Tig's heart skipped a beat as he looked down at the photo, realization dawning on him. Tig picked up the sonogram, his hands trembling with excitement. "Yeah, it's our first," he said, a wide grin spreading across his face. "I have two older daughters, but this... this is something else." He carefully placed the sonogram back in his wallet, feeling a rush of emotions. 

The large man pulled into the Teller~Morrow lot, practically throwing his Harley to the ground.

He practically bounced over to Happy, unable to contain his excitement. "Happy, man, you won't believe it!" he exclaimed, his eyes shining with joy.

Happy looked up, intrigued. "What's got you so worked up?" he asked.

"We're gonna have a baby!" Tig announced, his voice filled with pure elation.

Happy's eyes widened in feigned surprise. "No way, really? That's incredible, brother!" he exclaimed, giving Tig a congratulatory pat on the back.

Tig grinned from ear to ear. "I know, right? I can't wait to be a dad again," he said, his excitement palpable.

The Sergeant At Arms returned to his dorm, expecting to find Bellatrix waiting for him, but instead, he found her passed out on the bed. Concern flooded his features as he approached her, gently shaking her awake.

"Trixie, wake up," he said softly, his hand resting on her shoulder.

Bellatrix stirred, groggily opening her eyes. "Tig? What's wrong?" she mumbled, still half-asleep.

"I know about the baby," Tig said quietly, his tone a mixture of tenderness and excitement.

Bellatrix's eyes widened in surprise, her heart racing. "You do?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

Tig nodded, a warm smile spreading across his face. "Yeah, I found the sonogram in my wallet. Trixie, I'm so happy," he said, his voice filled with emotion.

Bellatrix's heart swelled with love as she gazed up at him. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner," she said, her eyes brimming with tears.

Tig gently brushed the tears away. "Hey, it's okay. What matters is that we're in this together," he said, pulling her into a comforting embrace. "I can't wait to meet our little one."

Tig had been planning this moment for months. He wanted it to be perfect, just like Bellatrix deserved. As the sun began to set, casting a warm glow over the horizon, Tig led Bellatrix to their favorite spot overlooking the city.

As they stood there, hand in hand, Tig's heart was racing. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves. Finally, he turned to Bellatrix, his eyes filled with love and adoration.

"Bellatrix Morrow, you are the love of my life, my partner, my everything," Tig began, his voice steady but filled with emotion. "From the moment I met you, I knew you were special. You've brought so much light into my life, and I can't imagine it without you."

Bellatrix's eyes shimmered with tears as she listened to Tig's heartfelt words. She squeezed his hand, urging him to continue.

"I want to spend the rest of my life with you, to wake up next to you every morning, to grow old with you," Tig said, his voice cracking with emotion. "Will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"

Bellatrix was speechless, overwhelmed with emotion. She threw her arms around Tig, nodding vigorously. "Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!" she exclaimed, tears of joy streaming down her face.

Tig slid the ring onto her finger, a beautiful rose gold band with an opal center stone and amethyst side stones, shimmering in the fading light. He pulled her close, kissing her passionately as they celebrated the beginning of their new life together.

Bellatrix took a deep breath, the weight of her news heavy in her chest. She sat across from Gemma and Clay, the silence thick as she gathered her thoughts.

"I... Tig and I are engaged," Bellatrix finally said, her voice soft but steady.

Gemma's eyes sparkled with delight. "I knew it! Congratulations, darling," she exclaimed, reaching over to squeeze Bellatrix's hand.

Clay nodded, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "That's good news, Princess. Tig's a good man."

Bellatrix smiled weakly, her nerves still jittery. "Thank you. There's more... I'm pregnant."

Gemma's smile widened, her eyes brimming with joy. "I know!!" She enveloped Bellatrix in a warm hug.

Clay's expression softened, pride glinting in his eyes. "Well, looks like things are falling into place. Congrats, sweetheart."

Bellatrix felt a wave of relief wash over her. She was grateful for their support and knew that with their love, she could face whatever challenges lay ahead.

After Bellatrix headed home, back to her Fiancée, Gemma and clay sat in the kitchen, as Gemma made spaghetti for supper

Clay's eyes widened in shock. "What? How did you know before me?"

Gemma chuckled, stirring a pot on the stove. "A mother always knows, Clay. Plus, Bellatrix needed someone to talk to about it."

Clay shook his head in disbelief, a mix of emotions swirling inside him. "I can't believe you kept this from me."

Gemma turned off the stove and walked over to him, placing a hand on his arm. "I didn't keep it from you, honey. I just wanted to make sure everything was okay before we shared the news. Bellatrix wanted to tell you herself."

Clay sighed, realizing Gemma's intentions were good. "I guess I can understand that. It's just a lot to take in."

Gemma gave him a reassuring smile. "It's going to be okay, Clay. We're going to be grandparents again, and that's something to celebrate."

Clay nodded, a smile tugging at his lips despite his initial shock. "Yeah, it is. Thanks, Gemma." He pulled her into a hug, grateful for her support and understanding.
