Chapter 104

"Hey guys" said Tinsley after gathering her emotions at the sight of Abel taking his first steps.

The whole bunch looked towards her and greeted her.

"He's walking Tins. Can you believe it?" Asked Jax. And bless his outlaw heart, he was crying.

"I saw. I'm so proud of him. He's getting so grown. Can you believe he will be 1 next week?" said Tinsley, her voice cracking at the emotions she was trying to cover.

"It's been quite a year" said Chibs.

"Yes it has" said Gemma.

"We should really get planning on his party ahem" said Tinsley.

"Don't you worry about that baby. You got plenty to worry about right now. I'll make the arrangements. All you guys will need to do is show up" said Gemma.

Tinsley knew Gemma was dying to know the result from the doctors office so she caught her when no one was watching and gave her a thumbs up. The grin that appeared on Gemma's face was one of the biggest, brightest, most genuine things Tinsley had ever witnessed. The only other time Tinsley had witnessed that smile was the day she and Jax got married. Had that really only been a few weeks ago? Now all she had to do was tell Jax. She wasn't sure when to tell him. If she told him while everyone was here, if he had a bad reaction, maybe the company would keep his blow up from being to bad but if his reaction was one of pleasure, well she wanted to share that with him all alone.

As everyone sat around joking, Tinsley interrupted them long enough to ask if the guys would unload the stuff out of the SUV. It didn't take long before they had everything in the house and to her surprise, they were actually helping her out things away.

As Tinsley places the last item away, Jax yelled from the living room.

"What's for dinner tonight?"

Instead of yelling back, she walked into the living room and looked around at the crowd. It still shocked her that she had moved here not knowing anyone and now here she was, a family of her very own choosing. They might be a wild and rowdy bunch, but she wouldn't change any of them for the world.

"Well, since everyone's already here, how does a big family dinner sound?" Asked Tinsley.

"You won't hear any complaints for me" said Chibs.

"None from me either" said Bobby.

"Means I don't have to cook" said Gemma.

"Ok, well what would you guys like. I'm in a cooking mood so name your wants. Nothing is too complicated." said Tinsley.

"Lasagna" said Juice

"Alfredo" said Chibs.

"Steaks" said Clay.

"Well you guys are going to have to decide. I've got some thing to do upstairs and when I come down, I need y'all to have made a decision." Said Tinsley.

"Ok. No restrictions? You'll make anything" asked Bobby.

"Anything y'all agree on as long as it ain't chitlins or liver" said Tinsley.

"I'm just going to pretend I know what a chitlin is" said Clay.

"It's pig intestines. Makes the whole house smell like pig shit for days after cooking them" said Tinsley.

"Well that's fucking disgusting" said Jax.

"It's considered a 'Southern Staple' where I come from but you can best believe, there has never been any pig intestines near my mouth." Said Tinsley.

Just talking about the foul smelling things had her suppressing the urge to gag. Her grandfather used to cook them for ever single holiday- even Valentine's Day. The smell was something you never forget. If Tinsley never smelled another one for the rest of her life, well, that would be perfectly fine by her.

As she walked towards the stairs, it dawned on her that now was he chance to tell Jax about the pregnancy. When she got closer to the couch, she patted Jax on the shoulder and leaned down to whisper in his ear.

"Come with me"

Jax got the biggest grin on his face at the mention of him coming with her upstairs. He quickly staggered to his feet, letting the crutches support his weight and headed for the stairs. If he had been in normal physical condition, she was almost willing to bet that he would have taken the stairs 3 at the time. It was pretty obvious that he thought she had plans for a little afternoon delight but that's not what was about to happen. Or at least that's not what she was planning on happening. You put the two of them in a room or anywhere alone for that matter, it almost always ended up with then tearing each other's clothes off and gasping for breath when it was all said an done. She just hoped he wasn't upset when he realized what she was about to tell him. She was about to drop the bomb of her pregnancy on him. She couldn't hold it on much longer. And if they ended up fucking like rabbits after she dropped the bomb, well she wouldn't complain about that either. Who was she kidding, she hoped with all her heart that was his reaction and not one of anger.

▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️

When they finally made it to the third floor, Jax was winded. For him to get in such good shape, it had take pretty much all of his energy to make it to the top floor. Once inside, she laid down on the bed, propping his leg up on the body pillow Tinsley had laid across the foot of the bed.

Tinsley walked over and climbed up onto the bed, snuggling into Jax's side. She rested her head over his heart and just listened to it beat for a few minutes.

"So you go me all the way up here, what's the plan?" Said Jax

"I need to talk to you about something but if I'm being honest, I'm scared of your reaction" said Tinsley.

"This doesn't sound good" said Jax.

"No, it's wonderful news. Or at least I think it is anyway." Said Tinsley.

"Well, spill" said Jax.

Gathering a big breath and trying to calm her nerves at the same time, she sat up cross legged on the bed turning to face Jax so she could look at directly in the eye.

"Well, I don't know any other way to say this so I'm just gonna spill. I'm pregnant" said Tinsley.

Jax sat there in stunned silence. His face went from shock, to happy, and then came full circle to pissed.

Uh-oh

"What the fuck do you mean your pregnant?" Said Jax.

Well, that wasn't the response she was looking for.

"Just what I said. I'm pregnant." Said Tinsley.

"But how? You have that implant thing in your arm" said Jax.

"Had. I had it removed this morning" said Tinsley.

"But if you had it removed this morning, there is no way that your pregnant. We haven't been had sex today unless I completely forgot all about it" said Jax.

"No, we haven't today. I took a home test yesterday and got a positive result. I went to see Dr. Greene today to confirm. According to him, I'm somewhere around seven weeks." Said Tinsley.

"But that impossible. You got that implant thing in your head as soon as you possibly could. And we didn't have sex the whole after the babies we born until the day we got married" said Jax. He was getting more and more pissed as the conversation went on.

"No, we did have sex one time." Said Tinsley.

"When? I don't remember." Said Jax.

"We had been drinking all day. One thing led to another and just as you were about to come, you pulled out. That's the only time we had sex with out me being on the implant" said Tinsley.

"Are you telling me that you got pregnant and I didn't even come? Are you fucking serious right now?" Asked Jax.

"Yes I fucking serious. It's possible Jax" said Tinsley.

"I call bullshit. You had to have been ducking someone else. You can get pregnant without the guy actually hitting" said Jax.

"Now it's my turn to ask. Are you fucking serious right now? Are you actually sitting here telling me that because I got pregnant off of your pre-cum, that I had to have been fucking someone else? Do you even hear yourself right now?" Said Tinsley.

"Oh I hear myself load and god damn clear. I didn't but so there is no way that you are pregnant by me. You might be knocked the fuck up, but the kid damn sure isn't mine. How many guys you been sleeping with Tinsley? How many do I see on the street every god damn day? How many of the smile on my fucking face when they see us out and think 'yea, I know how the pussy feels'" said Jax.

"You are an unbelievable piece of fucking shit. I can't believe that thought you would be happy about this. How could you think that I would cheat on you. I'm with you pretty munch all day every fucking day. How would I have time? And if I'm not with you,bum here with the kids or at the fucking club house? What? Do you think I'm being guys to the club house to fuck while your working on cars? Do you think I be stupid enough to bring dudes here to fuck when your mom lives across the god damn street? I seriously can't fucking believe you right now" said Tinsley.

"And I can't fucking believe you. I give you my heart and you turn around and cheat on me. Did you fuck him before the wedding? Did you get one last fuck in before pledging your love and faithfulness ness to me?" Said Jax.

"NO! I HAVEN'T FUCKED NO ONE BUT YOU DUMBASS. Why would I?" Said Tinsley.

"Who knows. Everyone has their reasons for doing dumb shit" said Jax.

"You know what? If that's the way you want to play this, go ahead. Me, the kids, this baby that your claiming isn't yours will be abso-fucking-lutely fine with out you." Said Tinsley as she got up off the bed and began packing all her clothes into it.

"Your not talking my kids anywhere" said Jax.

"Watch me" said Tinsley.

Slinging the bad over he shoulder, she walked out of the bedroom slamming the door. She went down to the kids' rooms and strapped them into the car seats and throwing clothes for the all into the duffle she had packed. Carrying the duffle and two car seats in each arm, she stomped down the stairs and right out the front door, not looking at anyone standing in the living room.

Just as Tinsley made it to thr SUV, Gemma came running out the door.

"What the fuck is going on?" Asked Gemma.

"Ask that piece of shit you call a son" said Tinsley.

She sidestepped Gemma and climbed up into the SUV. Backing out the driveway, she didn't know where she was going but she knew she was going to get as far away from Jax as possible. Maybe it was time to go home. Home being North Carolina...

So without a word to anyone, she headed for the interstate and headed east.
