Mass Destruction

Chapter 25

Corrie's POV

Jax and I are spending the entire day at the river with Abel; we're avoiding club talk and instead focusing on our engagement and having fun.

Right now I'm lying with my head on Jax's chest with him playing with my hair. Abel is baby-talking to his toys on the other corner of the blanket.

Jax and I have been successfully avoiding club troubles for the better part of two weeks, but I can't anymore. I need to know when he's going to prison, what's going to happen when they do go to prison.

"I love the fact that we're not talking about the club right now, but baby I need to know what's for what when you go to prison." I tell him. I hear him sigh as he continues running his fingers through my hair.

"Why spoil a good day?"

"Because I need time to prepare Jax, please" I beg him.

Jax sighs, "We're giving ourselves up at the end of the week"

"Today is Saturday!" I'm angry now, I sit up and look at him, Jax is lying on his side with his head perched on his hand, "You're just telling me now?"

"I knew you were going to react like this"

He has some cheek, "You can't keep shit like this from me Jax" I raise my voice, "You can't go to prison and not tell me"

Jax grabs my face with both his hands when he sits up, he's my eye-level now. "Things are going to be okay. We'll be okay"

"There's only three of you going to prison" I whisper, afraid my voice will break from the worrying, "You don't even have protection"

Jax smiles, "One good thing about the Cartel, they're getting us protection. We'll be fine babe, I swear to you."

I frown as the tears fall down my face at a rapid pace, I slap his arm hard, "Do not ever withhold information again, I will break your fingers"

Jax snorts with an amused smirk on his face, "You and what army?"

I slap his stomach, "Shut up"

His smirk falls, getting replaced with a genuine smile, "I'm sorry. I didn't know how to tell you. But you'll be fine without me. You've got Gemma; Opie; the guys. You'll be fine"

"I will never be fine without you" I can't even imagine living a life without him, "So come back to me."

"I will" he says, "I'll come back to you and our boy."

Nodding my head with a sigh, I kiss Abel's cheek as he crawls closer to us. He takes the teddy bear out of his bag and adds it to his collection of toys.

Jax wraps his arms around me again, he's sitting up fully now. His mouth latches to my neck and gives it gentle kisses.

"We're engaged" Jax whispers, "That's a happy thing, let's bask in the happiness"

I snort at his choice of words and laugh as he shushes me with another few kisses on my lips. "Lie down with me"

I lie down on his chest as he kisses my temple, his hand grips my chin as he brings our lips together. "We're engaged"

I beam and kiss him again, "Wanna talk about wedding stuff?"

Jax groans, "How about I show up on the day, look as sexy as I always do and you arrange everything?" he bargains with a smirk. I give him a warning glare, "I'll hang you up by your balls; you self-acclaimed sexy man"

Jax snickers and kisses me again, his phone rings breaking up our bubble.

He fishes the phone out of his jean pocket
