Chapter Seventeen

Harlow sat near Jax in the waiting room of the doctors office, sure she knew what they were going to tell her but she didn't want to hear it. She wanted another child she needed another child

"Harley Teller" the nurse said

Both Jax and Harlow stood up a s walked into the small room to check her weight and blood pressure then proceeding to the examining room after a short time of neither of them speaking to each other the doctor walked in

"Hey guys" he said sitting down on his stool

"Hey doc" Jax smiled as they shook hands

"Mrs. Harley, I see your pregnant" He said

"Yup and I'm keeping it" Harlow smiled

"Listen i know you want to keep the baby but there are so many risks of you go forward with this" he said

"I understand the risks, but I am willing to take them" Harlow said

"Jax your thoughts?" The doctor asked

"I've voiced my concerns" Jax said smugly

"Harley, I want you to understand that your heart is struggling to keep you alive, by carrying a child it's taking half of your heart away, you may not make it through a delivery" the doctor said

"Listen, I understand where you both are coming from but this is my choice. I believe I am going to survive it. I've been through much worse and came back. If you aren't going to support my decision then I'll find a new doctor that will" Harlow said as she brushed some hair away from her face

"Okay then we will proceed with everything" the doctor said

The rest of the visit went as planned for Harlow, Jax chose to ignore everything that was going on, sure he could admit that he would love to have another child with his wife but that was if she was healthy and she wasn't by any means.

When they got home Harlow watched as Jax didn't say two words to her as he walked by her and headed right for the kitchen

"What's your issue?" Harlow asked leaning against the door frame

"I think you know" Jax said looking into the fridge

"No I dont so explain" Harlow said

"That kid is the problem. You want to think about yourself because you want another kid, but what happens when you die giving birth" Jax asked

"I'm not gonna die stop it" Harlow said rolling her eyes

"How do you know? Huh? Did you not listen to all of your doctor's when they said not to get pregnant" Jax asked

"Dont you dare put this all on me. You were the one who blew your load in me" Harlow said

"Oh so it's my fault?" Jax yelled

"Takes two to tango baby and now you want nothing to do with it" Harlow said

"Whoa whoa whoa I never said I didn't want the kid. I want my wife be still be alive after, there is a very slim chance you will survive because of your heart but your too stubborn to understand that" Jax said as he slammed the refrigerator door shut

"Oh I'm stubborn? Coming from the man that refused to wrap it that night" Harlow said

"I cant deal with you" Jax said as he brushed by her and walked back towards the bedroom

Harlow stomped back towards the bedroom and saw Jax looking through his closet

"What are you looking for?" Harlow asked sitting on the bed

"Don't worry about it." Jax spat as he moved a few things around to find what he was looking for

"Baby why can't you understand that I just want us to be happy and having one more baby would make me so happy" Harlow said

"You are putting so much at risk babe, so much. What happens when you die? That leaves me five kids to raise alone" Jax said standing back up and looking at Harlow

"I want this more then anything you know it and you want me to end it do you could be happy" Harlow cried

"No. I want you to end it so that way my family has you. So the kids have their mother every day and I have my wife everyday why cant you see that?" Jax asked

"Becasue for once Jax I want to be happy. I'm never happy I take care of kids all day and take care of you when you get home. I want to be happy and a baby would make me happy" Harlow said as she looked at Jax

Jax looked at Harlow for a minute he knew there was no talking her down for this, he knew that she wouldn't terminate the pregnancy no matter what. Jax took a deep breath and pinched the bridge of his nose

"Fine. Keep it" Jax hugged knowing that it was always going to be a losing battle

Harlow stood up and smiled, walking over to Jax she wrapped her arms around him and felt his entire body tense

"Baby don't be like this please" Harlow pleaded

Jax brought his hands up and cupped her face, smiling before bringing her lips to his

"I love you more then anything you know that right?" Jax asked

Harlow looked at Jax and smiled "I know baby and i love you more then anything too"

"Then I need to leave" Jax said

"You what?" Harlow asked making sure she heard him right

"I need to leave" Jax said stepping away from her

"I'm not understanding what is going on?" Harlow asked as she watched Jax put clothes inside of a duffel bag

"I'm leaving. I don't want too and I wish it didn't come to this but I have to" Jax said

"Your leaving Me? I thought everything was fine, is there someone else?" Harlow asked as tears sprung to her eyes

"No there is no one else, I love you and only you but babe I cant sit back and watch you die slowly because you want to have another baby. I just cant I'm sorry" Jax said zipping up his bag

"Your leaving Me? Jax you can't" Harlow said

"I can and I am. I'm sorry babe you have to understand how much this is effecting me not just you. I nearly lost you once and I'm not ready to do it again. I'll be here Friday to pick up the kids" Jax said kissing Harlow's cheek and walking down the hall and out the door.

Leaving Harlow all alone wondering what the hell just happened.
