That night Harley went home and cried herself to sleep. She couldn't handle it. She was restless. How was she going to do this by herself. So many thoughts racing through her mind that didn't stop till darkness finally over took her. The next morning she had woke up and Gemma was there.
"I'm going to go see if I can talk to Oswald. Hopefully we can get bail." Gemma said to Harley who looked like utter shit.
"Whatever." Harley cocked
"Look I know your ma-" Harley got her off and snapped her head around towards Gemma. Her eyes manic. Her fingers locked and her jaw clenched. The sight of her and the way her body reacted when she was enduring so much anger was terrifying. It was almost demonic as some would say. The look in her eyes could sent chills to anyone's bones.
"Mad is an understatement." The young girl spat
"I'm taking Abel with me today."
"Don't let him go to jail too." Harley stormed off into the bathroom and slammed the door. The all familiar tears entered her eyes and stained her cheeks once more. She heard the door close and she took it that Gemma had left. She decided to shower. Gemma was headed to Oswald. Harley was washing away her sorrows and the guys were working on their protection.
After Harley finished her shower she put her clothes on and went to TM. she pulled her bike in the lot into her normal spot, killed the engine and walked inside the clubhouse. She made her way to Jax's room and laid down in his bed. His scent still lingered on the sheets and pillow. She nuzzled her head into the pillow and drifted of to sleep quite quickly. It something about the comforting smell of her old man that helped her in the toughest situations. She had slept for about four hours before finally waking up to see Gemma back at the lot with Abel. She made her way outside to Gemma and her son.
"Hey" Gemma gave her a sweet smile
"I'm sorry about earlier" Harley put her head down and scratched her neck.
"It's fine baby. You have every reason to be mad." Gemma pulled her into a hug.
"What'd Oswald say?" They pulled away
"He's not gonna post bail." Gemma's voice cracked
"Damn it." Harley muttered
"Me and Jax have two thousand cash at the house. I can get more. I can take on more shifts at work and get a day job" Harley began to ramble
"You nor baby need that type of stress." Gemma deadpanned
"I can't do this alone gem" Harley's eyes glazed with tears
"I'm here baby." Gemma put a hand on her shoulder. The two girls walked into the office with Abel and noticed opies children sitting there. Harley walked out to the garage to Opie.
"Hey Opie" she smiled at him
"I have some stuff to do that'll take a while. It's for clay. Can you watch the kids?" He asked
"Yeah no problem" she smiled as he walked out of the garage and got on his bike. Harley went back into the office where Gemma had made her self comfortable. Ellie was holding Abel and Kenny was looking at a calendar of half naked women.
"Well children. Looks like I'll be watching you today. Daddy had to do clay a favor." Harley clasped her hands together. "Let's go get something to eat shall we?" Gemma said and the two women gathered the children in the car and took them out to get chicken nuggets. After eating they took them to the park and let them play for a few hours before heading back to Jax's house. Harley laid Abel down to sleep as it was now dark as a knock sounded on the door. As she left Abel's room Gemma had answered the door and a young blonde woman was standing in the door way.
"I came to pick up Opies kids." She looked nervous
"Oh really?" Gemma asked with an unamused face
"Yeah he said he had something to do with for the club and I'm taking my kid to get something to eat. I figured I'd take them too" She said
"We already fed them." Harley responded in a cold tone
"Look I'm just trying to help Opie"
"Aren't you a-" and before Harley could finish her sentence the woman interrupted
"A hottie your boy jerks off to" she cocked and Harley lunged her at and before she could get her hands on her Gemma had pulled her back and slammed the door in her face. Harley stormed off to their room and Gemma sighed at the hot headed woman. Gemma let the children watch tv till Opie arrived and once he picked them up they headed back to the lot. Harley went into the clubhouse not taking notice to the visit Gemma had gotten from Oswald. She was too busy cleaning. She had wiped down every single table top in the clubhouse, rid all of the trash, swept the floors and straightened every out of place furniture. She had laid Abel down in Jax's bed to let him sleep. She went into the door rooms and straightened them up also. Putting all of the discarded crow eater clothes in trash bags. Gathered all the dirty clothes, wiping down counters, sweeping, making their beds and disinfecting each bathroom. When she was done she went and got abel because he was crying and she carried him out to the office where Gemma was sitting working on papers.
"I got a visit from Oswald." Gemma spoke with no expression over her face.
"What'd he say?" She asked bouncing Abel on her knee
"He posted bail" Gemma smiled and tears began to stream down Harley's face as she hugged Abel tightly.
"Did you hear that baby? Daddy's coming home." She said to abel which earned a smile from Gemma.
"What do you think the baby is gonna be?" Harley asked Gemma
"Another boy." Gemma grinned
"Maybe it'll be twins" Harley wriggled her eyebrow with a devious smile
"I will pull out my hair." Gemma pointed a finger at her
Harley chuckled. Her gaze never leaving her baby boy.
"I want to marry Jax." Harley said giving abel a reassuring hug.
"I know baby" Gemma pursed her lips
"You think he'll marry me?" She looked to Gemma with pleading eyes.
"He loves you baby." Gemma looked at her
Before Harley could say anything she noticed the van pulling into the lot and clay stepped out of the front passenger seat. Jax stepped out of the back off the van and Jax headed towards the garage completely blowing off Harley and his son. Clay led the rest of the crew into the clubhouse. Clay and Jax both had bruises scattered across their face and both women connected the dots. Harley knew that clay and Jax had tension brewing for a while now because of the Donna incident. Harley handed Gemma Abel and went in the same direction Jax did. She opened the door and Jax was sitting in the floor with his back rested against one of the walls inhaling smoke from a freshly lit cigarette.
"I missed you." She whispered lovingly as she crouched down to be face to face with Jax.
"I'm sorry. We both knew this was going to happen." He sighed and ran his ring clad hands down his bruised face. She lowered her butt to the floor and sat directly in front of him and she reached her hand out and cupped his cheek.
"Shit happens. We'll get through it together." She flashed him a beautiful smile and he melted into her hand.
He reached out and placed his hand on her stomach and shock waves went through her.
"I think it's gonna be twins." She grinned
"I hope not" Jax huffed
"My boobs are gonna get huge" She wriggled her eyebrows and shook them which caused Jax to giggle.
"Has the morning sickness started yet?" He asked her with a concerned look
"I can't watch horror movies without puking in the floor" She snarled and Jax let out a full belly laugh.
"Come on. Let's go to bed. I wanna sleep with my old lady and my son tonight." He smiled as they got off the floor and headed towards the clubhouse.
