Chapter 3

After visiting with Abel, Jax walks us out. Walking to Gemma's SUV we see his bike parked next to it. He opens the door for me and kisses my cheek. "Find the car you want. Let me know if you need more." he tells me. "Jax, I have money." I tell him. "I told you, I got you." he says before telling us goodbye and pulling out of the lot. Once in the SUV Gemma looks at me and before she can say anything I stop her. "He's in this isn't he?" I asked. "And you are too." she tells me.

After car shopping, I find a 2010 Mazda 3 that I fall in love with. Pulling onto the lot behind Gemma, Jax meets me at the car. "Hey babe. Did you have enough?" he asked me, looking at the car. "Yeah. Guy gave me a good deal but wanted to see if you would just check it over?" I asked. "Yeah. Give me the keys." he says and I hand them over. "When you're done, can we talk?" I asked. "Yeah. Everything okay?" he asked concerned. "Yeah. Just wanted to talk to you about something." I say. He nods and I kiss his cheek and he gets in the car while I walk into the clubhouse. Dad is sitting at the bar and I sit next to him. "Hey baby. How's my grandson?" he asked. "Daddy, I'm not far enough along yet but the baby is good. So am I." I say. "I heard Gemma took you car shopping. Find anything?" he asked. "Yeah. Jax is checking it out now." I tell him. "I need to give her the money for it." he says. "Uh, she didn't pay for it. Jax did." I say softly. Smiling Daddy says "Taking care of you already. Good." I look at him shocked and he says "Come on. You two have been together since you were kids. We all know it." I lay my head on his shoulder and start to feel a little sick. I get up and run to the bathroom at the end of the hall and one of the croweaters sees me and follows me in. She holds my hair back and rubs my back. "You okay Laura?" Kaylee asked. She is one of the few croweaters I like. "Yeah. Morning sickness." I tell her. "Congrats. Let me know if you need anything okay." she says and walks out once she sees I am okay.

I walk out of the bathroom a couple of minutes later to see Jax waiting for me. "You okay babe?" he asked. "Yeah just a little morning sickness." I say. "I looked over your car. You picked a good one. It's in great shape." he says. "Good. Thanks for buying it for me." I say. Taking my hand, he leads me into his dorm room. "What did you want to talk about?" he asked as he shuts and locks the door. I sit down in the desk chair and look down at my hands. "What are we doing here?" I asked. "What do you mean?" he asked me. "You and I are both just out of bad relationships. I need to know what you want out of this? You have Abel to think about and I have this baby to think about too." I say. He kneels in front of me and says "Laura, look at me. As far as I am concerned, we are together. When you have our baby, I want to put my crow on you. I have loved you since we were little. That hasn't changed. Abel and this baby are our kids and they will be raised as siblings. Are you okay with that?" he asked. Finally looking up at him I asked "Are you sure? You don't have to play daddy to my child Jax." He smiles at me and says "Tough. I am Daddy." he says and kisses me softly on the lips. He stands and pulls me to him and hugs me tight. "Now, tell me what all the doctor said." We sit down on the bed and he intertwines our fingers and I tell him "I am nine weeks and we are both fine. I have another appointment in a month." I tell him. "I will be at that one." he says and I can't help but smile.

Walking out of his dorm a little later, we head to the bar and Jax asked one of the croweaters to make me a plate of the food that was brought in. He sits with me at one of the tables and the croweater asked "You want a beer hun?" I look at her and say "Water is fine thanks." She brings me a water and Jax puts his arm around me and says "Eat. My kid's hungry." Bobby hears this and says "You're pregnant?" I smile and say "Yeah. Nine weeks." and they all look at me confused. "Look, Laura is my Old Lady now and her child will be raised as my child. Got it?" Jax says and looks at me smiling and everyone starts cheering.
