      Today marked the six month of pregnancy, which meant I was now about to be in my third trimester. We had decided to go ahead and do a baby shower, since Emi came early, and there was a good chance this baby may come early as well. So, to avoid that headache, we decided to have a baby shower earlier than normal people would have it.

        Anyhow, being six months pregnant, my stomach was pretty noticeable. Besides that, I couldn't fit half of my clothes from before. With that being said, I had decided to wear a dress today, a nice flowy sundress. The dress was black, but had little motorcycles around the bottom. Honestly, it was very cute and I loved it as soon as I laid eyes on it at the store about a month ago.

        Once I was dressed, I went around the house to make sure all of the children were dressed as well. Normally, for baby showers, the men would leave and only women and the father would be around, but not with my family. Everyone stays when it comes to my family, and everyone gives a gift or so. The kids are obliged to get a gift, but if they want to the can. Again, with that being said, once the child turns sixteen, or has either had a child or is pregnant themselves, they are obligated to give a gift as well. I know it all seemed confusing, but that's just how my family worked.

"Are you ready to head to the clubhouse?" Marshall asked, and I nodded.

"Yeah, all the kids are ready as well." I replied, and he nodded before grabbing his keys.

      We piled into his truck, before driving down to the clubhouse. I laughed when I seen they had one of their vans out, knowing it meant there was a lot of gifts being given today. So, the seven of us walked inside, and seen that there was more than fifty people inside of the clubhouse. Jax escorted Marshall and I over to the couch, before telling us to have a seat.

"Alright, we can start handing gifts now." Gemma stated, before everyone gathered around.

       The girls sat around us, except Whitney, since she had suckered Opie into holding her. Marshall and I sat next to each other. Emi sat beside me, and Lanie sat beside her on the arm of the couch, whilst Hailie sat beside Marshall, and Cela sat beside Hailie on the arm of the couch. Jax was the person handing out the gifts, announcing who the gift giver was each time he handed Marshall or I something to open.

"I've got to pee." I said, once we were halfway through the gifts.

       Jax and Marshall helped me climb past all of the gifts and discarded gift wrapping stuff, making sure I didn't trip, fall, and injure myself or the baby. Once I was past everything, I was able to head back into the bathroom. When I walked into the bathroom, I was surprised to see it had been cleaned almost spotless. I shook my head, thinking these boys had cleaned so much just for my baby shower. They really were such an amazing family to have.

      Anyhow, once I was done doing my business and washing my hands, I walked back into the front area of the clubhouse. Again, Jax and Marshall helped me back to my spot, before I was able to sit back down on the couch. Jax started back handing gifts, which we were halfway through. I was honestly surprised to see so many amazing things from everyone. There was enough diapers to last me until the baby was a year old. There was enough bottles, pacifiers, bibs, and burp clothes to make sure I didn't have to buy more. There was at least thirty outfits for each stage from newborn to one year. There was plenty of diaper wipes to last at least three months. They even went as far as getting a tall hamper with a lid, and filling it with baby shampoo, baby lotion, diaper rash cream, medicines, baby laundry detergent, baby safe nail clippers, hairbrushes, hair bows, hair pins, and hair ties. I had everything, including jackets, shoes, mittens, socks and beanies. I was pretty much set until the baby was like six or nine months old.

      Anyhow, we were down to our last fifteen gifts, which made me happy. I wasn't complaining about getting all these gifts, I was just tired, which was normal for someone who was six months pregnant. The last few gifts were very much needed as well though. I recieved a carseat, highchair, stroller, and a play pen. Tara then handed me her gift, which happened to be a baby monitor.

"Definitely needed this." I said, and everyone laughed.

      I had one in mine and Marshall's room for Whitney, as well as Hailie and Emi, so I was definitely going to need one for the baby. I didn't have one for Lanie or Cela, since they were old enough to come get me, and they wanted way more privacy since they were older than the other girls. Marshall wasn't too happy with them saying that, but he soon agreed when he had heard Cela talking to me about boys. We were having, what everyone calls "the talk." He was a bit grossed out, and so he gave them more privacy.

"One last gift!" Jax exclaimed, and I was confused, before I seen Marshall get down on one knee beside me.

"We've been through some rough shit, on both sides of our relationship. You've been there for me through thick and thin, as I have you, no matter how hard shit has gotten. You've taken care of our girls like no one else in the world could ever do. You're the best girlfriend and mother to our children that I could ever ask for. I was hoping you'd make it even better, by becoming my wife. Kori, will you marry me?" Marshall asked, and I felt tears roll down my cheeks.

"Yes." I squeaked out, before Marshall placed the ring on my finger.

     He quickly got up from his position and wrapped his arms around me, before placing his lips on mine. He had officially made me the happiest woman in the world right at this moment...

A/N: I hope you guys liked this chapter. I know you probably didn't expect him to pop the question at the baby shower, but he did. Also, I know he has said before that he'd never get married again, but this is a fiction story, so not everything is true or accurate completely.

Love you guys!
