A little over three months and so far, so good. She was glad morning sickness skipped over her after those few times she was sure she was sick from a stomach bug. Vivian Anderson was enjoying her pregnancy, the circumstances bothered her but she was a grown adult who took responsibility for her actions. Her actions were not exactly the best made choices that led her here but she was sure to make the most of it. And one thing she liked to remember was the baby she was carrying had nothing to do with the turmoil she shared with the baby's father. The baby did not ask for whatever negativity would potentially be around.

She knew she always wanted children, when she was as ready as she could be. She didn't think she would be in the middle of repairing her relationship though - this part she didn't account for. But oh well, Vivian was a positive ray of sunshine and hope as she navigated through this new world. She walked through the store, her eyes scanning the various racks of baby clothing and she smiled. She loved how precious it all was, the sizes and the bright, happy colors. She felt her phone vibrate in her back pocket and she sighed before pulling it from her pocket and held it to her ear. "Yes?"

"What are you doing?"

She rolled her eyes. "Looking at knick knacks, what are you doing?" She continued down the next aisle where she knew the displays of furniture would be.

"Missing you, ready to get back to you. What kind of knick knacks?"

Vivian nodded slowly as if he could see her. "Well, I'm not in Oakland so you will have to wait. Unless you're going to ride all the way to me and look at baby stuff with me."

"Where are you? You didn't say anything about leaving Oakland today."

"I'm near Santa Rosa. Right because I'm not a child and you're not my boss, Jax. You told me you'd be gone all day and probably not make it to Oakland tonight so I'm out and about preparing myself while I wait for my work schedule to get back on track. I'm free of my patients for the next two days. You're off playing cowboys and Indians." Vivian shook her head as she stopped at a wooden crib, it was a walnut color with beautiful, intricate designs carved into the wood on the headboard and she was just in love. "I am fine, I feel great as I have been feeling."

Jax huffed into the phone. "I didn't say you were a child, Viv, and I'm not playing cowboys and Indians. I was just checking in on where you are. I don't want you far out by yourself, you being pregnant is an afterthought in the concern for you being so far away."

"I am perfectly fine, I promise." She sighed again. "I'm changing the subject before you get your panties in a wad. I found a crib, I'm buying it. Hopefully they can ship it because it won't fit in my car."

He chuckled dryly. "My panties? You're such a smartass." He stood up from the picnic table outside of the clubhouse and made his way to his bike. "I'm on my way with the truck, what store in Santa Rosa?"

"They're going to ship it, Billy Badass." She shook her head as she left the counter and made her way to the front of the store where the shopping carts were to grab one. "All is fine. I'm going to spend some money because well - I can. For lack of a better reason."

"Listen, shipping is nice and all for those who need it. But you have me darlin'. I will be there as soon as possible to collect the furniture and whatever else you decide to buy for our baby boy since you're in a shopping mood." He started his Harley and started to move off of the lot slowly. "So where are you?"

She scrunched up her face. "Darlin'. Oh dear god, gag me already. Also, you don't know that you're getting another boy so you should consider being careful not to jinx yourself with twin girls or something." She stopped at the shelves of play mats and she grinned. "These are so cute, Baby T will need these. I'm in Baby Land, off of Long Ave. See you in two hours, I'm probably going to find something to eat too. So if you're coming, come on."
