Appetite For Destruction

-035

Two months later I laid on our couch watching an old episode of the Simpson's as Lux laid on my legs and I kept a bucket next to me. Whatever baby Lowman was they were making me sicker than I'd ever felt in my life. I still couldn't wrap my mind around the fact I was going to be a mother, it just seemed so foreign to me even though I was now pushing thirty.

I thought about the last couple of months events, both Kozik and Piney had died, Opie tried to kill Clay and Jax took his position at head of the table. Tensions with my mother and Tara were at an all time high, I felt like I was stuck in the middle of a war alone whilst going through my new life change.

I had also disowned Clay. I wanted nothing to do with him after Jax allowed me to read our fathers letters and finding out he killed Piney and then tried to kill Tara. I was so frustrated Clay was even still breathing but Jax had promised me it was with a purpose. Things had quieted down if only slightly, Happy was home most nights and I was enjoying every minute of it.

My phone buzzed on my chest and I outwardly groaned the last thing I wanted to do was socialise but seeing Jax's name light up across my screen I figured I better answer cause if not he'd turn up at my door "what?"

'That's not a very nice way to answer the phone Evelyn Teller'

"Oh my god Jax, what do you want?" I sighed

'I'm going to text you through an address and I need you to come. Tara and I are gonna get married'

"On a Wednesday afternoon..."

'Stop being such a moody bitch I can't take another five months of this, get to the address I'm not asking you' he stated and then the line clicked dead.

I threw the blanket off myself dramatically as I stomped down the hall to get dressed. An almost thirty year old who was still being bossed around by her big brother, does this ever end?

Arriving at the location Jax had texted me I was confused, it was an escort agency. I almost thought he'd texted the wrong address but the line of bikes out the front suggested otherwise. Pushing the heavy silver door open I stepped in and was greeted by a blonde with her tits pushed up to her chin "hi babe, what can I do for you?"

I smiled back at her but before I could respond Happy grabbed me by the waist "she's with me" I watched as the blonde looked almost disappointed but I didn't spare her another look.

"What's the go? Why is everyone here?"

Happy looked at me and I watched his jaw clench "how much do you wanna know?"

I rolled my eyes "none of it currently, where's my stupid brother?"

He pointed at Jax in the corner of the room speaking in hushed tones with Chibs in the corner, I kissed Happy's cheek before moving towards Jax "what's the deal?"

Jax smirked at me "hello baby sister, how are you?"

"You're getting married? What's Gemma think about this?"

"What Gemma thinks doesn't matter. How you feeling?"

"This kid is sucking me dry" I growled a hand instinctually falling on my lower stomach.

"Get used to it" he pulled me in kissing my forehead before pushing me towards a room "go find Tara"

"Ay, Ay pres" I knocked on the black door "Tara?"

Her voice sounded on the other side of the door and I opened it gently "hey" she smiled at me sitting in front of a mirror.

"Marriage?!" I asked as I sat down on the bed in the middle of the room "god I hope I don't catch anything from this mattress" I laughed and Tara laughed too.

"Yeah marriage. Jax is getting arrested again tonight, I figured why not you know?"

I pinched the bridge of my nose at the arrested comment but made no comment of my own about it, the last couple of months and the foetus inside of me had sucked any of my fight out of me currently. My brother could handle his own shit, as long as Happy was safe and outside to take care of me, I didn't want to know.

"You sure you wanna do this Tara?"

"I love him Evie. I'll stand by him" she smiled at me "come on let's go"

I followed her out and stood next to Happy and my mother to watch the quickie ceremony. It was over fairly quickly, but as we watched Happy grabbed my hand and pressed a kiss against it and I felt my face flush with warmth as I looked at the father of unborn child. Once it was over the club all rushed off to some meeting and I was left with Gemma.

"Where've you been mom?" I asked quietly once everyone had cleared out.

She looked at me unsure before she answered but a tall man appeared next to her and she changed the subject "Evie, this is Nero. Nero, this is my daughter Evie"

I smiled up at the dark haired Nero "hi, nice to meet you"

"You too, you look a lot like your mom" his eyes were kind and I felt instantly comfortable around him.

"I hear that a lot" I laughed "well, I'm going to head home. I don't feel so hot. We aren't finished with that conversation" I pointed at my mother before kissing her goodbye and waving at Nero.
