Earning His Princess

Chapter 8

Chapter 8

A little later, Jax and I are alone in the room with Abel and I just keep replaying shit in my head. I know they have a past and I know Gemma said he loved her and she loved him. She's going to try to go after him and I'm gonna lose him. I am in Jax's lap and lost in my thoughts when I feel him kiss my temple. "What's on your mine Darlin?" he asks. "Just thinking." I tell him. He tilts my chin up to look at him and says "Talk to me." and I see concern in his eyes. "I know about you and Abel's doctor." I tell him as I move to stand and he lets me. I walk over to the incubator and just look at Abel. I feel his arms wrap around me and he says "I'm yours baby." he tells me and I just nod. "I just know you loved her and..." I start and he stops me by turning me to face him and kissing me softly. When we separate, he tells me, "You're the one that I'm married to. You're the one that I am spending my life with and the one that my son is going to grow up calling mama." he tells me. "Are you sure Jax?" I ask, my insecurities coming through. "Absolutely. I love you Eva Teller." he tells me and I look at him shocked. I crash my lips with his and whisper against his lips "I love you too Jackson." I turn back around in his arms and just look at our son.

When we leave the hospital, we head out to his bike and I ask "Head to mine?" He kisses me and nods and says "Hell yeah." We head home and as soon as we get inside, he pulls me to the couch and to straddle him. Cupping my face, he kisses me softly and when we separate, I put my forehead to his with my eyes closed. "Move in with me." I whisper. He crashes his lips with mine before carrying me to the bedroom and when he lays me on the bed, he whispers "Fuck yeah." He starts kissing down my neck and we start to shed clothes in between kisses before he enters me. Thrusting in and out slow and easy, he makes love to me and I feel all the love and passion that he feels and it's overwhelming. When we both find our release, there are tears in my eyes. "I love you Jackson." He wipes my tears and says "I love you too." I snuggle into his side and we both drift off to sleep.

I wake up a little later and can't get back to sleep. I slip out of bed without waking Jax and find myself at one of my spare rooms. I open the door and lean against the doorway and picture it as a nursery for Abel. My mind starts drifting off to a child of our own someday, if he even wants that. I feel his arms wrap around my waist and I lean back into him as he kisses my bare shoulder. "You okay?" he asks. I turn in his arms and kiss him softly and say "Yeah. Woke up and couldn't get back to sleep." I tell him. He looks back into the room I was looking at. "What were you thinking about?" he asks. "I think we should make this Abel's room." I tell him but don't look at him. "What is it?" he asks concerned. "I know you just had Abel, but Jax, I'm gonna want more kids someday." I tell him. "So do I babe. I want a house full." he tells me and I smile before kissing his lips. He takes my hand and leads me to bed. I snuggle into him and fall asleep.

We get up the next morning and after breakfast, he tells me he has to work. "I think I might go see Abel before meeting your mom at the shop." I tell him. "Sounds like a plan babe." he tells me. We head outside and he kisses me deeply before heading to his bike and me to my car.

I pull up at the hospital and walk into Abel's room and he's looking up at me. "Hey little dude. How's my boy doing?" I ask. "He has a mother you know." Tara says as she walks into the room. "A mother that signed over her rights and we've filed papers for me to adopt him so yes, he is my boy." I tell her calmly. "You know he won't stay with you, right?" she asks. "I'm not doing this with you. I'm here to see Abel." I tell her. "Do you have his crow yet?" she asks. "I have his last name." I tell her. "That doesn't matter in that life. You might be his wife but I will always be his Old Lady. I'm the one with his crow and he can't give it you if I still have it and I'm not covering it. I will have my Old Man." she tells me and I just shake my head and look at Abel. "I'll see you later little dude." before walking out the door and leaving her standing there.

I walk into the shop and Gemma is standing there already. "What's wrong?" she asks concerned. "Nothing. Just tired." I tell her and she says "Bull shit. Talk." I shake my head and say "I just want to get this done." She shakes her head and I know I'm not getting out of it. "You can tell me or I can call your Old Man." she tells me. "Not my Old Man apparently." I mumble. "What are you talking about?" she asks. I sign and say "How does the crow thing work?" I ask and she looks at me confused. "Can I get his crow if someone else already has it?" I ask and she sighs. "She still has his crow." she says and I nod. "She told me that I might be married to him but he will always be her Old Man. Is she right?" I ask. "Technically yes. If she still has his crow then she's his Old Lady." she tells me and I shake my head. "I gotta go." I tell her before heading out the door. Gemma picks up her phone and calls Jax. "Hey Ma. What's up?" he asks. "You better head to Eva's." she says. "What's wrong?" he asks concerned. "Just get there." she tells him before hanging up.

I head home and walk into the house and to the bedroom. I lay on the bed and sob. How could I have been so fucking stupid? I hear the front door open and hear him call out. "Eva? You here babe?" I quickly wipe the tears as he walks into the bedroom. He walks over and sits on the bed, against the headboard. "Come here babe." he tells me and I move over in between his legs and lean into him. "Talk to me babe." he says softly. "I love you." I tell him. "I love you too but that can't be what's wrong." he tells me. "I went to see Abel today." I tell him and he kisses the top of my head. "Tara came in and heard me call him my boy. Telling me that he has a mother and then started telling me that I might be your wife but I will never have your crow." I tell him. "Why won't you?" he asks. "She said that you can't give me your crow as long as she still has hers and she's not getting hers covered up." I tell him. He tilts my chin to look at him and says "Listen to me, Eva. I love you. Not her. Let me handle her." he tells me and I just nod and he pulls me closer. "I don't want to lose you." he tells me. I look back up at him and say "I'm not going anywhere." He kisses me softly and we just sit together in silence.
