A/N: Hello Lovelies! Let the Christmas nightmare begin! As it's my daughters first Christmas everyone wants to come to me to see the baby on her first big day. I can't cook, I start fires, so this is hell for me. I have a million and one things to do, I'm sure I'll be around, but if I don't update, just know I'm using a fire extinguisher on sugar cookies 🤦🏻♀️ Happy holidays lovelies xxx"Are you stuck in there?" I laugh as I hear Mollys voice and climb out from the refrigerator
"I thought I'd get a jump start on the deep cleaning." I smile as I wipe the sweat from my brow
"You're in a good mood." Molly says as she ties her apron around her waist. Maybe it's because Charles and I are officially divorced, maybe it's because Tobias had a sleepover at Cordelias and I had a sleepover with Derek last night, or maybe it's because my life seems weirdly normal right now.
Tobias and I have been here for three months now and we have settled into our little routine, I've never seen Tobias happier, he has friends, he has a lot more freedom and I love watching my happy healthy little boy. His arm is cast free, although he insisted we keep the smelly thing because Evie and Ace covered it in art and all his friends signed it.
"Wouldn't have anything to do with the noises coming from your room last night would it?" Molly smirks
"How did you know?" I ask
"You know what gossip is like in the clubhouse." She giggles, I roll my eyes
"How's Greta?" I ask, Greta is Needles Grandmother, I met her a couple of times before I left and she came into the bakery a few weeks ago, slapped me upside the head and said
"Get your girls out and get him back already." I wouldn't have expected anything else from her, she may be 94 but she's the feistiest woman I've ever known
"She's going crazy, threatening to sign herself out AMA, but it's Needles I'm worried about, ever since she fell he is stressed and isn't sleeping." Molly sighs
"When do they think she can go home?" I ask
"Next week hopefully, I'm thinking of offering to move in with her, Needles old bedroom is on the other side of the house so we would have privacy, but we would be there if anything happens again." Molly shrugs
"Greta would love that." I chuckle
"I know, she swears she's not going anywhere until she gets great grand babies. Last month she served oysters and tried to give Needles a fertility tea." Molly giggles
"Better get at it then." I laugh
"Oh hell no. I'm only nineteen, I'm not ready yet, besides I'm on the injection, have been for years to control my painful periods." She shrugs and then her eyes bug out
"What's the date today?" She gasps as she runs to the calendar on the wall
"No, no, no, no!" She shakes her head frantically
"I forgot! I've been so busy with here and Nonna I forgot it was due like a month ago." Molly covers her mouth with her hands
"It's ok, take a breath." I say as I wipe my hands on my apron and guide her to a stool
"I'm nineteen, I can't be a mom. I have this place, Jacob has the shop and we have Nonna. Oh my god I'm an unwed teen mother, they're gonna put me on MTV." Molly rambles as she stares into space and I try to suppress my laughter
"Oh my god, my dads gonna hold a gun to Jacobs head until he marries me, oh god, Aunt AJ will shoot him." Molly gasps
"Ok calm down honey, just because you aren't on birth control doesn't mean you're pregnant." I remind her
"I've been feeling nauseous all week, I thought it was because I'm worried about Nonna and Jacob." She looks up at me, her eyes rimmed with tears
"Well there's only one way to find out, want me to go to the store?" I ask, she nods.
"Ok, I'll put the 'back in five' on the door and I'll be right back." I smile as I squeeze her shoulders.
"It has to be wrong." Molly whimpers as she looks at the ground
"Five positives aren't wrong, you're going to have a baby." I smile excited
"What am I going to do? How can I run this place with a baby? And Jacob the tattoo shop? And taking care of Nonna?" I wipe a stray tear from Mollys cheek and pull her into my arms
"First of all, we have eight months for you to teach me your recipes and I can manage the place for a while, second Ace and Evie can take care of the tattoo shop while he supports you. And Greta? Oh she's gonna be all over you and this little baby." I smile
"I've never even held a baby before." She mumbles into my shoulder
"Neither had Scarlett when she had Jessica, you're surrounded by Moms honey and we'll all be there if you need us, me included. When I had Tobias you think Charles helped me with night feeds? Or changed a diaper? I did it all myself and I survived, you have Needles, Nonna and the whole club. Plus you and Natalie will be pregnant together." She nods against me but when she pulls back I can see she's still freaking out
"Want me to call Needles?" I ask
"What if he's mad at me for forgetting? What if he thinks I baby trapped him?" Molly gasps
"Have you met Needles? He's gonna be so happy and you didn't trap him, whenever I see you two together he can't keep his hands off you, he's super cute." I smile and Molly nods. I call the shop and ask Ace to send Needles over when the back door nearly breaks off it's hinges
"What happened? Molly are you hurt?" Needles almost knocks me over to get to Molly when he sees her crying
"I'm sorry." Molly says as she falls into his arms and he looks at me confused, I motion with my eyes to the counter full of positive tests and he looks at them before pulling Molly back
"You're pregnant?" He asks and she nods
"I'm sorry, I've been so busy I forgot and my birth control lapsed, I'm sorry Jacob." She sobs
"Are you fucking kidding me?" He says as he stands up
"We're gonna have a baby? I'm gonna be a daddy?" His face lights up with the biggest smile and he sweeps Molly off her feet spinning her around
"I'll give you two a minute." I smile as I back out of the office
"Does this mean you'll let me marry you now?" I hear Needles ask and I smile, I hope I have what they have some day. I guess I did once, Derek was that excited when I told him I was pregnant, when I told Charles I was pregnant with Tobias, he just looked at me like I'd told him dinner was ready.
I'll always regret leaving Derek, I know we are sleeping together on and off, but I don't think he wants more than that, I do, but then I can't expect it after I hurt him, breaking his trust and his heart. I think the best I can hope for is having my club family and making Tobias happy.
