Appetite For Destruction

-034

I sat on our bed cross legged staring at the piece of paper in front me that read my blood results. Tara said judging by the levels, I'd be about 4 weeks pregnant something that blew my mind. I'd never considered being a mother. Ever. I'd always just assumed I'd either be murdered eventually by Andrew, and before that I'd always been doing my own thing.

I was waiting patiently for Happy to get out of the shower and I was going to tell him. The sooner I found out his thoughts, the easier it would be to figure out what the fuck we were supposed to do next. He appeared not a moment later standing in the door way, his skin still glistening a little from his shower.

"Sit" I said pointing at the end of the bed in front of me.

"What's going on?"

I handed him the paper and waited as his dark eyes scanned it quickly "what is this?" I lent towards him, pointing at the bottom where it said the gestation and confirmed that I was indeed pregnant.

He looked from the paper to me and back again. I watched as his brain ticked over this new information before he spoke again "pregnant?" He almost whispered as he looked at me.

"Four weeks roughly" I hid my face in my hands waiting for his response but he didn't have one. We just sat in silence for a few moments before I spoke again "so now what?"

He looked confused as his face screwed up "what do you mean now what? Now we're having a baby"

"You want to keep it?" I felt a wave of shock take over me as I looked into his eyes which seemed sincere "do you think it's smart with how the clubs going?"

He looked almost insulted "why would we have not kept it Evie? The clubs the club, it'll always be there baby or not"

I stared at him blankly for a second as I considered what he was saying before I spoke again "and what about Claire?"

I watched his face change from calm and understanding to dark and angry "why the fuck would she matter? She was a piece of pussy who thinks she matters...fuck her Evie"

I nodded "okay so we're doing this?"

"Yeah we're doing this. No matter what happens to me or the club Evie, you will be the best mom and do what you need to do for it" he grabbed my hands as he spoke before he lent into kiss me "and it's gonna be a boy"

"Right now it's a grain of sand so let's not worry about what it is" I laughed as I pulled him into me enjoying the safe feeling that come with being so close to my love.

A week later I arrived at the clubhouse looking for my mother but what I found sitting at the bar was Claire with Phil. I was exhausted this baby in my belly was sucking every bit of energy from me, and I all I could manage was sleeping and crying evidentially. But when I saw the redhead sitting in front of me I was over taken with anger.

"What the fuck are you still hanging around here?" I sneered as I stepped behind the bar looking for a soda.

Claire smirked at me "guessing you haven't spoken to your lover boy?"

I rolled my eyes "can you just go back to Tacoma? I'm sick of looking at your head"

"Scared I'll take your man?"

I walked around the other side of the bar and grabbed her by her hair, dragging her outside behind me before I chucked her on the floor in the parking lot. Tig, Piney and Bobby sat at the picnic tables watching and I could hear Tig clapping and cheering from behind me as I looked down at the woman in front of me.

"You're not even worth the beating" I muttered as I envisioned the lecture I'd get from Happy for endangering the baby, I spun and went to walk inside.

"Knew you were a pussy" Claire laughed from behind me and I spun around bringing my foot down on her fingers before I brought my fist down on her face.

"Get the fuck out of here, I'm telling you this as when Happy hears about this, he will kill you" I smiled politely at her before twisting my foot a little on her fingers and walking away listening to her sob. I felt victorious and less angry after releasing some of it.

Tig clapped as I walked towards him and I let out a laugh "don't encourage me"

"Yeah don't encourage her" Piney agreed before he stood "can I get a word Evie?"

I nodded but felt confused as I followed him over towards his bike "what's up?"

"I want you to know how proud I am of the woman you've become, your dad would be proud too" he started and my confusion got worse at his emotional words but before I could speak he continued "you've always been like a daughter to me Evelyn, and I want you to know how much I love you"

"Are you dying old man?"

He chuckled "some things just need to be said sweetheart. Now make sure you take care of your brothers"

"Brothers?"

"Opie is as good as a sibling to you and you know he makes stupid choices, you're the only one with a brain amongst the lot of you"

I laughed leaning in to hug him "I appreciate the soppy words Piney"

"I'm gonna head up to the cabin, let Opie know I'll be there if he needs me" I watched as he climbed onto his bike and waved as he rode away.

His words made me think something deeper was going on, never in my whole life had we had a meaningful chat like that. But I didn't have time to think about that before Happy rode in, climbing off he wrapped his arms around me "you okay?"

I nodded "I'm fine" and I let him lead me back into the clubhouse for that drink I wanted.
