When Tessa stormed into the Sons' clubhouse one Friday night, looking for Happy to tell him that he had to come back with her to Bakersfield to check on his mother, Tessa didn't know that from that day on her futur...

TESSA LEANED BACK in the chair behind the reception desk with a soft groan, the last of the patient files finally neatly stored in the cupboard behind her. Tara had told her countless times that she didn't have to work anymore and could hire someone until the baby was here and old enough for Tessa to work againᅳ but the Laney woman loved her job.
If there was one thing Tessa hated, it was sitting home alone and not knowing what to do. Sure, she could keep Gemma or the others at the clubhouse company while Sawyer was at daycare and deep down she knew that Happy would prefer thatᅳ that way he could have an eye on her twenty-four seven.
But first of all, the raven-haired woman didn't want to seem clingy, she wanted Happy to have something to look forward to when he came home after a long day because he hadn't seen her or Sawyer all day. Nevertheless, she of course drove by every now and then during her lunch break or Happy would pay her a quick visit when time allowed it.
Tessa used the quiet moment while Tara was examining her last patient for the day to quickly check her messages. A smile graced her lips as Happy's name appeared at the top and asked about her day.
Her fingers quickly flew over the screen to type a reply, her long black fingernails tapping against the glass. 'We're fine, the hours are just dragging. Can't wait to see you later. I love you.'
A slight tingling sensation spread through her fingers as she opened a new message from her mom. To this day, she still couldn't believe that the woman was now actually a part of her life.
Even though Elaine still lived in Texas with her husband, the two women were regularly texting, calling each other or video chatting. After the camping trip almost two months ago, Elaine even came to Charming for three weeks to get to know Tessa, Sawyer and Happy better.
The latter was still a bit skeptical, but had to admit that there was no reason to keep Elaine away from his fiancée and his son. Nevertheless, Tessa knew that Happy would still keep an eye on Elaineᅳ which was completely fine with her.
Just as she was about to answer and send a little weekly report to her mother, the Laney woman shot forward with a hiss, one hand placed under her now huge baby bump as if she needed to support it.
"What the hell?", she gasped from the sharp pain that shot from her abdomen down to her core. And just a moment later, a splashing sound echoed through the anteroom of the doctor's office, causing Tessa's eyes to double in size.
A wave of panic washed over her, even though the pain had subsided for a moment. Breathing deeply in and out through her mouth, she stood up, her hand still under her stomach as she looked at the puddle beneath her with flushed cheeks.
Her water broke, nothing to be embarrassed aboutᅳ but she still felt uncomfortable. Especially since there was still a patient in the office.
"Tara!" There was something alarming in Tessa's tone as the feeling of something suddenly pushing down grew stronger. "Okay, calm down, it's just the baby", she whispered to herself while she dialed Happy's number.
