Mass Destruction

Chapter 88

Jax is restless the entire evening at home. He's now hauled up outside by the pool drinking a bottle of whiskey.

Corrie finds him there after waking up alone. His posture is slumped, that poor boy has the world's problems on his shoulders and Corrie has no idea how to help him.

She wraps her arms around his waist from behind and rests her head on his back.

"Come back to bed baby" She whispers softly. He turns around in her arms and lets his head fall down to the crook of her neck. Jax wraps his arms around her tightly.

"I keep on fucking up Corrie. I keep on breaking promises to you and my club and I don't know what to do anymore."

"Hey" She makes him sit down on the lawn chair and sits on his lap. Corrie wraps her arms around his neck, "This doesn't land on you Jax. Not entirely. Stop taking on the world's problems."

"I caused this" he growls out, angry tears form in his icy blue orbs. "I made the deal to get out of guns. I didn't want to break a promise to you, and now my club house is blown to fucking pieces."

Corrie knows words won't make him feel better so she settles on a tight hug with a kiss to his chin.

"You're not alone in this babe. I'm here for you, forever. Don't do this on your own, lean on me."

"Don't ever leave me" His eyes fill with more tears and soon there's a river of tears falling down his cheeks in a rapid space. "I'd drown without you."

"I'm not going anywhere."

Jax presses a kiss to her stomach, "Can we go to the hospital tomorrow, see how long our baby has been baking?"

Corrie grins, "Of course gorgeous man. I love you Jackson, never forget that. There might be chaos at the club but here in our house you can relax."

Jax nods, "I love you."

The couple walks hand in hand into St Thomas the next morning ready to find out about their possible pregnancy. Jax is still reeling in shock and anger from the previous evening's events and Corrie is trying to keep his mind off it.

The prospects are cleaning the club house right now – or what's left of it.

Corrie runs a hand through Jax's short hair as they wait for their appointment. "What are you going to do for a club house?"

Jax shrugs, "I don't know"

Corrie sighs and presses a kiss to his cheek, "You'll figure it out"

"Can we talk about something else?" He snaps at her causing Corrie to retract. She sighs, "Are you ready to find out how far along I am?"

He nods

Corrie sighs at the obvious heartache on his face, she pecks Jax on the lips. "It'll be fine."

"Mrs Corrine Teller" The nurse calls, "Doctor Lewis will see you now"

Jax stands up first and pulls her up, they walk to the room.

"Welcome Mr and Mrs Teller. I hear congratulations are in order" the man grins. Corrie lies down on the bed and pulls up her shirt upon the doctor's orders. Jax sits down next to her and grabs her hand.

"Let's get started. Have you been experiencing morning sickness? Any discomfort?"

Corrie nods, "I've been sick these last few weeks, bloated and nauseous, I've also been experiencing mood swings."

"Yikes, sounds bad for the husband" the doctor jokes causing Jax to chuckle. "I sleep on the couch more than in bed, now I know why at least."

The doctor smiles as he continues checking the ultrasound. "Well Mrs Teller, Mr Teller, congratulations. You're going to be parents. It seems you're fourteen weeks along."

Corrie beams loudly as Jax tear up. He stands up and kisses Corrie on the mouth, "You're pregnant baby."

"We're gonna have a baby"

Jax grins and kisses her again, "Thank you for continuously making me the happiest man on earth"
