***Twenty Weeks Pregnant***

Sitting at the doctor's office, Koz by my side. I'm rubbing my stomach and feeling the little one moving around a little. Koz still hasn't felt the baby but I can. The nurse called my name and we followed her back. After the doctor checked me out, she pulled the ultrasound machine over. Putting the gel on my stomach, she runs the wand over my stomach. We hear the heartbeat and then she moves it a little more. "You want to know the sex?" she asked. We both nod yes so she moves the wand again and says "Looks like you're having a little boy." I look at Koz and he's smiling wide. Kissing me softly he whispers "I love you."

A little later, we are walking into the clubhouse and Gemma walks over and asks "So, what did the doctor say?" Smiling, I say, "Me and the little outlaw are just fine." She laughs and says "A boy! Congrats baby." I hug her and the guys start walking over. "So, what are you having?" Jax asks and everyone looks at me. "We're gonna need a kutte." I say and they all start laughing and congratulating us. After we all hang out for a while and talking, Koz and I head home. Sitting on the couch, he asks "Have you thought about names?" I smile and say "I have. Herman Evan Kozik Jr. We can call him Evan." I say. "You would name him after me?" he asked. "Why wouldn't I? Herm, you saved me. I would have died had it not been for you. You are strong, caring, loving and protective. I love you." I say. "I love you too." he tells me. Kissing me softly, he puts his hand on my stomach and pulls back quickly, looking shocked. "Was that?" he asked cutting himself off. "That would be Evan telling Daddy hi." I say. He smiles wide and kisses me softly before saying "I love you baby."

Lying in bed, I have my back to him and he's snuggled up with me rubbing my stomach. "You keep rubbing my stomach and you're gonna rub a hole right to him." I say laughing. He doesn't say anything. Turning to face him, he looks into my eyes. "Baby, talk to me." I say. "Just thinking about how far we've come. All that time I wanted to be with you before we actually got together, I never thought you'd want to be my wife or be giving me a kid." he says. "Funny how fate decides to throw us off our game. Are you happy?" I asked a little worried of his answer. "I have never been happier." he tells me. Smiling softly I tell him "Me too." He kisses me softly and I let him deepen the kiss. My stomach is against him and all of a sudden, we feel Evan kick Koz. "I guess he doesn't want you loving on mommy." I tell him laughing. "He's gonna be protective isn't he?" I asked. "I hope so." he says but he seems to be thinking something. "What is it?" I asked. "I just don't want to screw this kid up." he says. "You won't. As long as you love him and protect him, he's gonna love you. We got this." I tell him before he kisses me softly and we both drift off to sleep.
