Angel snuggles into my chest as we both take a second to enjoy the moment.

Jax sneaks his head in to let us know they are going to check on Royal then takes off.

“Have you seen him? How bad is it?” Angel whispers, looking up to meet my eyes.

“It wasn’t good, baby. But Royal’s a fighter, he’s going to make it through this.” I pull her in closer, but it’s not close enough. It never is.

“What about you? How are you feeling, Luck? You gave me quite the scare, you know that right?”

Angel nuzzles her face into my chest as I lean down to kiss her head. “I’ll be fine. Everything hurts, but it’s nothing I can’t handle,” I tell her.

“And you? What landed you here?” I ask.

She takes a deep breath before pushing off me to look me in the eyes.

“Luck, I’m in trouble, and I don’t know how to fix it,” she says, searching my eyes for something.

“Whatever it is, we can figure it out, Angel.”

“I’m going to tell you something, and I need you to not freak out,” she says to me.

My head cocks to the side as I study her. “Okaay,” I draw out, unsure what I’m agreeing to here.

She takes my hand in hers and holds it in her lap, looking me in the eyes. “Lucky,” she hesitates, swallowing hard. Taking a deep breath, she knocks me for a loop with what comes out of her mouth next.

“Luck, I’m pregnant.” Her eyes bulge, but she doesn’t look away. She wants to see my reaction.

I’m taken aback by her words. I wasn’t expecting that. Not expecting that at all.

“Umm…” My mind goes blank. Pregnant. Angel’s having a baby.

What does that even mean? She’s too young to have a baby. Does this ruin any chance we had of being together?

Fuck.

I’m too scared to open my mouth and say anything. What if I say the wrong thing and then she hates me?

“Lucky! I just told you that I was pregnant. I need you to use your words and say something. I’m freaking the fuck out right now, and I need you!” she hisses in a hushed tone.

Both of our eyes look to the door then back to one another.

“Am I the first to know?”

“Yes! The doctor just told me, and I’m kinda losing it over here,” she says.

I pull her into my arms, trying to comfort both of us before I stick my foot in my big mouth.

“Do you know—” the words get stuck on the tip of my tongue. But I don’t need to finish. She knows what I’m asking.

“I’m so fucked. I have no idea who the daddy is. I mean I kinda have an idea, but I don’t want to say it out loud.”

“You aren’t fucked. We’ll figure this out, baby. No matter what happens, I’ll be by your side. We got this,” I tell her.

Angel pulls away again to meet my gaze. She looks devastated.

“Luck, the baby might be yours,” she whispers, making my heart swell with pride. A smile spreads wide on my face.

Angel and I made a baby.
