After Harley cleaning the clubhouse and having long thoughts about what her future had in place for her she went outside. The wind was blowing slightly enough to move her blonde wavy hair, the sun was shining cause a sparkle to reflect from her eyes. She was wearing blue jean shorts and a black tank top. It was hot but not too hot. The weather was perfect. She was happy with her life at the moment. Jax had removed tara from his life and they fixed things and were going to attempt on making their relationship better. Her and Gemma were getting closer. Her mechanic job was getting her enough pay to fend for herself if she needed to. She could even go out if charming and work for a bar. Bar tend. Strip. But she knew Jax wouldn't let her. Things were finally starting to settle in.
The thought of little Abel flashed across her mind. She already felt the need to protect this little boy from anything that could harm him. She loved him from the moment she laid eyes on him. Just like his father. She decided she would go to the store and pick up a few things knowing his arrival home wouldn't be long.
Walking into the store she was greeted by the cashier. But the woman hesitated as if she was almost scared of Harley. Everyone knew Harley hung around with the club. She was also a very intimidating woman but she was polite.
"H-hello miss" the woman said with a hesitant hand wave
"Hey honey, y'all have baby stuff here?" Harley said with a warming toothy smile.
The tension in the woman's body released as she noticed Harley wasn't going to hurt her
"Yes in the back on the left near the bathrooms" the lady smiled at her
Harley made her way back to the baby section wondering what Abel would look like as he got older. Something caught her attention in a certain isle of clothes.
A blue onesie that said "Daddy's man" in black letters
"Gotta get this" she giggled to herself. Pulling it off the wrack and keeping it on her other hand by the hanger. She went through the isles finding Abel some blankets and necessities he needed like bottles and such. Everything she got was blue or black. She even picked up a pack of diapers and some wipes, butt cream, Johnson and Johnson soap, a little plastic tub, and some baby towels that had little blue whales on them.
Going back to the register she handed the same cashier she had been greeted all the items she had picked out.
"You having a baby and just not showing yet sweetheart?" The woman asked her
"Something along those lines" Harley giggled and the women just continued her job.
Pulling out a wad of cash from her front shirt pocket she thanked the lady and grabbed the bags and headed to Jax's house. She couldn't wait for Abel to come home. She couldn't wait to spend her days holding him.
When she arrived she had fixed up the little part left of the mess Kohn made. Re scrubbed the carpets after Gemma had and put away the things she had bought, except the onesie. She wanted to show Jax. She knew how much Jax loved Abel. She could see it in his eyes when he looked at him. Or when he would read to him. It was a bond that could never be broken. A father and son bond.
Jax and Opie were going on a gig with Bobby while Harley was cleaning and doing whatever to pass time. Bobby, Jax, and Opie were at the location they had gotten to kill the man for the Irishmen.
Alvarez was talking to the man in charge of killing clay as Opie was headed for the man he was supposed to kill. As he saw the man he froze. The man turned around and went the other way as Bobby stopped him and killed him. They took off as a small colored girl looked through the window. She had witnessed the whole thing.
Back with Alvarez he had walked to a vendor and gave him a hug "i love you Mijo" he whispered to him as the guy working the vendor turned around and stabbed him in the neck. The worker was Happy. Alvarez handed happy an envelope and they went on their separate ways.
Gemma was in the hospital now with Jarkey holding Abel. Harley and Gemma were sitting there just staring at the baby till Harley said "Jax asked me to live with him. Help him with Abel."
"Really now?" Gemma asked with a small grin cracking in one corner of her mouth
"Yeah. How you feel about that?" Harley questioned
"As long as you're taking care of my boys and not causing a shit storm I dont have a problem with it sweet heart." Gemma grinned at her
"I went and picked up some more things from a local store today. Wipes and shit. Found the cutest little onesie. Had to get it. Said 'daddy's man' on it" Harley was smiling but mostly to her self
Gemma could see the love for both Jax and Abel in her eyes.
"Jax is gonna love it" Gemma told her
"I hope so." She chuckled nervously
"Even got a little blue plastic tub to give him baths in" Harley continued
"I'm so glad he's gonna have a mother figure around and it won't be that Junkie bitch." Gemma said truthfully
"I can tell you one thing. I am no junkie" Harley laughed whole heartedly
"I know baby." Gemma said kissing her on the cheek and handing her Abel. Harley sat down in the rocking chair and began to rock Abel. She was trying to get him to sleep but he was crying. Non stop crying. Gemma knew she should let Harley figure this out of her own so she sat there observing. Harley began to sing.
"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine" Harley sand softly. It was heavenly. It even calmed Gemma. Abel instantly calmed hearing her voice.
"You make me happy when skies are gray" Harley continued and by then Abel's eyes were closed and he was dozing off. She stopped there with a pink flush across her cheeks.
"I didn't know you could sing like that" Gemma said with her hand on her hip
"It's just not something I do often." Harley said still smiling at Abel
