His Baby

~ Chapter 25 Part 2 ~

~ CHAPTER 25 Part 2 ~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jax drops us off home, he says that Ellie asked to meet him urgently, promising that he would call later. When I get home Scarlett is also home, Noah's car is in the driveway. I walk into the house and they are watching a movie in the living room- none of my family are home.

"Hey guys," I say and Scarlett runs to us, she takes Violet and Noah smiles and says hello. Scarlett doesn't mention Jax, rather she begins to boast about the baby to her boyfriend.

He's extremely nice.

I sit on the couch next to them and we watch a movie. I lay Violet on my chest and I study her- I find that I do this a lot, but I can't help it. She is a product of me, well and Jax. Violet doses on and off over the hour, and I can hear Scarlett and Noah giggle and whisper.

I smile at them, I remember what that was like with Jax. Violet finally falls asleep and I manage to close my eyes and rest. I am so drained and exhausted, this is way to much. I finally feel myself falling asleep when my phone beside me rings

I look at the caller ID and I don't have the number saved or recognise it. Scarlett looks up and I show it to her and she frowns at me, and mouths speaker. I nod and I answer the call instantly putting it on speaker

"Hello" I say

"Is this Vicky" I hear and I recognise the voice.

"Ah this is Victoria Bell" I say gulping "Who is calling"

"Ellie" she says and Scarletts eyes snap up to mine

"Hi Ellie, how are you?" I say to her awkwardly, I have no idea what she wants

"Don't sweet talk me, I know who you are" she replies "How fucking dare you lie to me"

"Where is Jax?" I say

"That's not the point, I know exactly who you are"

"What is that then?" I ask

"You are a slut, a massive slut" she says and my eyes widen, matching her's, this also catches Noah's attention

"What do you mean?" I ask her

"You know what I mean" she says "As if Sheppie wasn't going to tell me about his baby"

"Oh that" I say

"How dare you not tell us" she says repeating herself

"Ah-" I go but she cuts me off

"We are going to take her 50/50 and go to court if you protest" she replies

"Um sorry, you aren't going to do anything" I say

"Ah yes I am, I have rights. You are going to be hearing from our lawyer, and If I hear you spoke to Jax about this, I am going to go for full custody" she says and with that she hangs up on me

I look up at Scarlett completely shocked. I look down at my phone, and go to message Jax, but I don't. I want to write him a long and mean text. But I look down at her sweet face- I can't put myself in a situation where I lose her.

I also know that Jax would never do this to me.

Well I didn't think he would. He said he wasn't angry at me, that it was okay. But then again I don't know who the new Jax is. The old Jax would have never let anyone speak to me or treat me the way she has. The old Jax would have stood up for me and he would have not gotten a lawyer to defend himself.

I'm so angry that I don't have any tears to cry. Scarlett comes to sit by me.

"It's okay Scar" I reply and I see Noah shake his head "Just put the movie back on" I say to her and I see her look at Noah unsure

"I need a distraction" I then say and she nods, and goes back to sit with Noah, and I sigh.

I never wanted this. All I wanted was to get through my exams, go to work, and celebrate Scarlett's graduation.

Jax finding out was never part of the plan and this is why.

Noah leaves after a couple of hours, leaving the 2 of us home with the baby. I told Scarlett what happened earlier and she's probably just as angry and confused as I am. Jax was fine, and he was excited at the most- and now Ellie is threatening me with lawyers

She did however make me promise that she is still going to be Violets favourite parent and I laugh. Violet loves Scarlett and is always going to love her. Although, she has been very clingy and is crying more than usual.

I don't know what I'm going to do about Ellie and Jax- can they sue me?

"It's okay," I say, rocking Violet. She has been fussy ever since she had her vaccinations today. The doctor told me that she might be, but she wasn't last time.

"Maybe a bath?" Scarlett says "Listen T, this thing with Shep is going to be fine, Ellie is being ridiculous"

"Yeah, I know," I say and Scarlett moves to the bathroom and I can hear the bath running, in the meantime I undress Violet and I notice that she has a giant rash all over her body that is bright red

"What the fuck" I say

"What's wrong" Scarlett replies and walks over to us, and I point to her rash

"What the hell is this?" she says and I shake my head. My poor baby has a major rash all over her body. I feel her forehead and it is burning up.

"She has a fever," I say and I start to panic, what is this?

"Does she?" Scarlett asks and feels her forehead and I see her face turn white

"Shit," she says

"What are we going to do?" I say

"What did the doctor say?" I hear her reply

"I don't remember" I reply

"Okay, that's fine," she says and we both look at each other starting to panic

"Fuck, mums in surgery and Jane- call Jane," I say and Scarlett calls Jane.

Jane tells me not to panic and to go to the emergency room, and she will meet me there. But I can't breathe- I cannot believe what is happening, I feel so helpless as a parent.

"Don't you think you should call Shep?" Scarlett says to me, as she is sloppily placing things into the baby bag, whilst I am cradling Violet who has now calmed down slightly, but she is still whimpering.

"No... oh, wait" I say "Can you please message him," I say and I have her message Jax to meet us at the hospital, I grab her baby bag and I load her in the car, and I get in beside her whilst Scarlett puts the car in reverse.

"We're fine, it's okay" Scarlett says "Tori, it's all right, she's going to be fine" she then says

"I know, I know," I say back to her, but I don't know.

I'm stressed.
