"I won't be broken
I won't be tortured
I won't be beaten down" ~Orion Michael De La Cruz~ "Love you sexy Mama." Orion replied as he moved his hands over and around her belly, around to her back and pulled her closer. "Mmm..." He mumbled after kissing her. He wished they had time for some baby making practice. Of course they had one already a baking, but it didn't mean he didn't enjoy the practicing part. "Let's go out there. Start greeting guests and get some food in you." He stepped away but took her hand in his. Her hand was so tiny and soft in his large slightly roughened hand. He loved all her soft and round curves. It made him want to touch and explore her constantly. He had to get his wife out of the bedroom before he gave into his urges. He didn't really think his guests would enjoy overhearing them having sex. It would be extremely awkward since his parents were there and her Uncle was present. He kissed her hand and gently pulled her toward the door. He was anxious for her to see her surprised baby shower. ~Ryder~ I have the answer

Grace letbher fingers intertwine with Orion's and she happily followed him out of the room, finally down the hall. It was pretty quiet for people having already arrived, and she was going to ask Orion if anyone had showed up, because she didn't want to eat without e erypne else being there. But as they rounded the corner to the living room and her eyes adjusted on all the decorations, and people, she first smiled. "Oh my gosh, you guys..." Then Grace felt the waterworks starting to come so she turned and quickly hid her face in Orion's neck to hide the fact that she was crying. Damn hormones. She was so happy and surprised and humbled and excited that it was just too many emotions to deal with. So her little pregnancy self couldn't help but to cry happy tears. With Thomas she had never had a baby shower, and this was so incredibly sweet of all of them to do for her, Orion, and the baby.

"I won't be broken
I won't be tortured
I won't be beaten down" ~Orion Michael De La Cruz~ Orion pulled Grace closer to him protectively. He leaned in toward her head and kissed her cheek. "Surprised Grace?" He whispered, hoping she was pleasantly surprised. He rubbed her back lightly. He lead his wife over to her Uncle who was holding Thomas. "Archie, Thanks for coming and all your help." He let go of Grace's hand. "I will go get you a drink." He says quickly and disappears briefly. He returns a few minutes later with a drink and a small plate of crackers, cheeses and meats. He had even put a few baby carrots, and celery pieces. "I am sure you are hungry by now babe." He kissed her cheek, handed her the plate and took Thomas from Archie. Thomas was babbling happily and seemed to be fully charged from his nap. He set the squirming child down and watched him run off yelling and looking for his new favorite person. Tyson, naturally. Since the boy spent all morning playing with Thomas. ~Ryder~ I have the answer

   Grace Marie De La Cruz
Grace Preggers Outfit
Grace was absolutely surprised, more so touched by the fact that they had even thought of doing this. Archie was grinning off to the side, mostly because he thought it was a little comical the way that pregnant women could go from 0 to 100 and back to -100 in like ten seconds. Emotions completely haywire. "I can't believe you hid this from me." She murmured, wiping at her eyes and placing a quick kiss to Orion's cheek when he moved off to the kitchen. Thomas didn't even seem to care much that she was out of the room because Tyson had him outside in the back yard playing with a ball and letting out all the energy that he had recharged from his nap. "No problem. Anything for Gracie." He leaned forward and kissed her forehead, briefly placing his hand over her stomach and then he moved outside to play around with Tyson and Thomas. It was also a little awkward with Joshua being there and the fact that Archie was with Lena now. It was almost like the man wasn't too pleased seeing her happy with someone else. Namely him because of his ties. When Orion returned with the plate of snacks, Grace turned to him and smiled, immediately picking at the snacks on the plate and even handing him some meat and cheese on a cracker.

"I won't be broken
I won't be tortured
I won't be beaten down" ~Orion Michael De La Cruz~ Orion accepted the treat from his wife. Soon after Archie left Shandee and her sister Sherri walked over to Grace. "You look so beautiful! Being pregnant really agrees with you!" Shandee gushed happily. Sherri smiled at Grace. "Congratulations you two." Sherri said softly. "We were so worried you would find out! I had to stay far away from you! I am so bad at keeping a secret!" Shandee admitted. "I am going to go see if Cadie needs help with anything. Congratulations, and again you look so beautiful!" Shandee said and bound off to find Cadence. Joshua moved over to his son and daughter-in-law. He smiled at the pair. "Congratulations. Do you two have a name picked out yet?" He asked with a small smile. He was doing his best to ignore Lena and Archie. He still could not believe Lena and Archie were together. He would never had thought those two would end up together. After all Lena had sworn off bikers and the whole lifestyle. Yet here she was with Archie, blowing him on the regular from what Joshua had gathered. Secretly Joshua blamed Lena for what the trainwreck his daughter was. It was no wonder Cadence had always had a thing for bikers, when her mother had never moved passed that phase in her life. It seemed David had been her safety net. Joshua pulled out a envelope sealed with a card and $400 in it. "Not sure what you two still need for the baby. Excuse me." He said as she saw Elena, his ex wife making her way over to them. He quickly exited the house, escaping through the kitchen. He kept walking, not wanting to stay in the room that Lena was in. She was still just as beautiful as ever, but he did not like her. Not when she was shacking up with one of his long time enemies. He stepped out in the yard and stayed away from Archie. He had no plans to ruin Grace's Baby Shower. He could be civil to his exes and Archie for one day. Orion forced a smile as his Mother stepped before them. Immediately she hugged Grace and then Orion. She stepped back and smiled at the pair. "With two children now, I am sure you two will need more help. I can always take Thomas overnight whenever you two need a break." Elena offered and Orion shook his head. "No. No thank you. We are okay, Thomas doesn't sleep out." Elena frowned at Orion. "I saw Cadie with Thomas at the playground, not that long ago. If you can trust that whore with your child you can definitely trust me." Elena snapped immediately angry with her son. She still hated that Orion and Joshua were trying to have a relationship with the b*****d child of Joshua's ex mistress. "Whoa! Ma! C'mon! None of that. No name calling needed. Let's step outside." Orion slipped an arm around his Mother and lead her away. He looked back at Grace and mouth 'I'm sorry!'. Killian stepped up beside Grace and gave her a side hug. He kissed her cheek. "Hey Mama-to-be!" He smiled at Grace and watched Orion and Elena a moment. "Ah....see your Mother-in-law already came over to say hi." He gave her an apologetic smile. He knew how horrible Elena could be. Orion couldn't stand her most of the time. "Grace, I want to introduce you to my daughter Alyvia." He said as he pulled his daughter closer. "Her Mother is working right now, but I hope you don't mind I told her to stop by after work." He was positively beaming with pride as he introduced his daughter. ~Ryder~ I have the answer

"I'll be there. I've got Thomas's day bed done that I want to bring by for her."Jasper nodded to Orion with a chuckle. He walked out of the establishment with the man and over to his bike. Once to his place, Jasper moved the bed from his shop into the back of his truck and covered it back up. Then he went upstairs to shower and changed his shirt and pants into a new pair of jeans and black tee. Dressed and ready, Jasper grabbed his Kutte and walked out of his apartment and down to the truck. He drove quietly drumming his fingers on the steering wheel. He parked just outside the house next to the curb. Getting out of the car he moved to the front door and knocked. Waiting to see who was already here and who yet they were waiting on to show. Hearing the party in the back, Jasper shrugged and walked around the house. He smiled seeing so many people there already. The man moved himself over to the bar area and grabbed a beer before heading towards Grace's direction, where Killian and a young girl stood.

Grace Marie De La Cruz
Grace Preggers Outfit
One after the other people were coming up to them, and Grace couldn't help but reach her free hand down to slip into Orion's. Normally she loved people, and talking to people -- but this was a little overwhelming. Especially when Orion's mother came forward and congratulated them. Grace wasn't even sure what to say when the woman snapped about Cadie, instead released Orion's hand and watched him move her outside, and away from where people might hear her little outburst. Grace finally exhaled the breath she had been holding and gave Orion a small smile when he turned back to her, then turned to Killian and hugged him back. "Hey, Kill. I don't really know what to think of that.." She was speaking about Elena, of course. Smiling down at Alyvia, Grace reached her hand out. "Such a beautiful name. It's nice to meet you, Alyvia. Of course her mother can stop by. There's so much food..." Her eyes moved to Jasper as he walked inside and she gave him a wave. "Hey, Jasp! Have you met Alyvia?"

Lyn nodded her head and picked the second earring on the dresser to put in her ear."I'm fine hon. Let's go see your sister and uncle." Plus all the Angels that were sure to be there; gladly including Lincoln she was sure. The doctors had told Maralyn and Dereck at the last appointment that she was due anytime now.
Yet, Lyn felt it important that Dereck see his family; be with all his family as much as possible. She hadn't been counting down the days until his trail. All she knew was that it was still coming. And quickly at that. Instead she tried to live each like it would be their last for a while. Certainly she would miss him while he had to be ... away.
Lyn turned slowly in his arms, her own arms raised and rested on his shoulders. She smiled playfully up at him,"Come now. You don't want to be the party pooper, right?"

Dereck Michael Thompson 
Dereck tried to keep the thoughts of his trial and such out of his mind. She didn't need to think about it every second of every day, even though she probably did anyway. When Lyn turned in his arms he ducked his head forward and pressed a kiss to her lips. "Alright, but as soon as you get tired or uncomfortable we are leaving." A few seconds later the front door opened and there was a knock on their bedroom door before Nate ducked his head inside. "Let's get to seein Gracie!" He hadn't seen the blonde since before he had been in jail, and now she was welcoming a little girl and he hadn't even been able to congratulate her. He'd also picked up a giftcard to Babies R Us for the woman to go crazy spending. Dereck also opted on getting some cash together in a card -- because he didn't want to bother Lyn to go shopping with him and he had no idea what the hell Grace needed.
Soon enough the trio pulled up and parked, Dereck making sure to help Lyn down from the truck as Nate made his way to the house, moving around back and walking inside with no issues. He didn't really care what any of them thought, just that he was here to see the mommy to be -- and eat some food.

Killian stroked Alyvia's hair lovingly. This was the first time he was finally introducing his daughter to his family. He knew they would make her feel welcomed, but he was a bit nervous about what she would think of them all. He glanced over at Jasper after he heard Grace greet his brother. He looked over and grinned at him.
"Late to the party....typical Jasper. You have to make an entrance." Killian teased easily. He knew Jasper would know he was kidding. Killian was pleased that Alyvia remembered to thank Grace for her compliment and even handed over the card she had picked out for the event.
A few minutes after Jasper arrived Wolf, Grif, and Hammer showed up with Lincoln. The four men looked around and then fanned out. They made the rounds and said their hellos, slowly making their way toward Grace. Lincoln made it to Grace first and he handed her a large Diaper Cake.
"That is from Meg, I got you a gift card so you could do your own shopping. Apparently that is in-personal so Meg got this..." He explained breathlessly.
Cadence appeared through the crowd of people with a plate piled high with food. She stepped up beside Lincoln and eyed the Diaper Cake.
"Grace, I brought you food. I can take that and put it in the dining room with the other presents if you want." She offered and then spotted Alyvia.
"Hello Alyvia, are you hungry? Killian the other kids are out back if you want to introduce Alyvia to them." Killian looked down at Alyvia expectantly. He wasn't sure if food or playing was the more important priority currently.

Jasper smiled at Grace and moved to hug the budding woman. "Grace, it's been some time, but you look wonderful. How are you feeling?"Stepping back, Jasper looked down to the brunette next to Killian. "No I haven't met her. She sure is a beauty. Must take after her Mom, eh Killian?" Jasper asked with a teasing smiled to the other man. He put his hand up near his shoulders, as he mocked the man back, "Hey man you're the one bringing lovely ladies on your arms."Then in came Lincoln and the newest members of the club. And after them came Cadence. Jasper's blue eyes took in the woman's form as he raised the beer to his lips. Lowering his bottle, Jasper took the diaper cake and diaper bag from Lincoln. "I'll take these Linc. Go get the guys a drink, huh?" Before he left the group to follow Cadie and put the gifts where she motioned, he turned to Grace and gave her a friendly wink, "When you're ready Grace, I got that day bed for Thomas in the truck."Alyvia stayed close to her father's side as she met all these new people that were apart of her father's life. She was polite as her mother taught her, but she wasn't sure what to make of anyone yet. The blonde woman seemed nice though. Cadence she had seen a few times talking with her mother, and the man that came forward with a bunch of diapers she remembered seeing at the fair. Her eyes looked up to Killian, unsure when it seemed he was looking for an answer from her of what she wanted to do. "Ummm... I could eat. She was excited to be meeting her father's friends, yet nervous at the same time.

Location:Reapers House Company: Dereck, Nate,
Lucky, Kevin, Archie? Wearing: Wearing Maralyn Ó'Conchobhair Maralyn smiled as she returned his kiss."Alright." She conceded to him. As Nate made his entrance into the room, Lyn smiled and stepped away from Dereck so she could slip her feet into her sandals."We were just coming." The man's excitement to see Grace was quite adorable in her opinion.
The red head followed the two men at a slow waddlish walk to the truck awaiting outside. The ride was not terribly long. She hadn't seen Grace for some time, and she was sure Cadie was going to be there as well as possibly Shandee. At the thought of the new widow, Lyn felt a pang of sadness pass through her heart. She wondered how the woman was fairing.
Arriving at the house of the party, Lyn exited the truck with Dereck help before following him in. The couple trailed after Nate, and Lyn playfully whispered to Dereck with a smile,"I forgot how close Nate and you sister were. He's practically bouncing in to see her."Her eyes looked around at all the decorations and her smile faded to a look of horror. Her hand grabbed Dereck's arm,"Oh God, did we bring a gift?" Leave it to her and this pregnancy brain to forget Dereck had mentioned a shower for Grace and if they had gotten her something.

"Oh yeah, she definitely takes after her Mother. they are both freakin' gorgeous. I am just thankful my ugly mug wasn't passed on to Alyvia." He chuckled a laid one large hand on Alyvia's shoulder. Clearly he was enjoying showing off his daughter.
"Alright, I am going to get this beautiful girl feed and watered. Then take her outside and introduce her to all the other children. Excuse me guys. Grace, you are looking very beautiful. Thank you for including us all." He guided his daughter through the crowd of people and into the kitchen.
Immediately Lena introduced herself and began to prepare a plate for Alyvia, and then a plate for Killian. She was apparently the nurturing type. Seems that was yet another thing she passed on to her daughter.
"Here you go sweetheart. Eat up." Lena said with a smile and set the plate down in front of Alyvia. She set Killian's down and then started to prepare plates for her boys.
Cadence lead the way to the dining room. She rearranged some of the presents to ensure there was plenty of space for the presents that Jasper had offered to carry in. She stepped aside and waited till he had set the presents down.
"Are you hungry? I could get you a plate." She offered, she seemed calmer then she had been around Jasper in a long time. It was probably do to the fact she was no longer overthinking her every move and word.

Dereck Michael Thompson
Dreck placed his hand on the small of Lyn's back and led her around the house, placing his mouth next to her ear. "Grace was the first person Nate came out to. They are pretty close....and yes I brought a gift card." He kissed her cheek and lead Lyn inside, going right toward Grace instead of even stopping to see anyone else. He'd nodded to Archie and would join him outside at some point. "Hey, Gracie..." Dereck moved and hugged Grace, handing over the card and stepping back as the blonde moved and hugged Lyn.
"I'm glad to see that you guys came...how are you feeling Lyn?" She looked like she was due any day now, and with how Grace was feeling tired Lyn probably felt about 100x more tired.

Her frame walked with him into the house and up to the guest of honor.She watched with a smile as the siblings greeted one another. And then Grace turned to her. Lyn returned the hug as well as she could,"Of course we came, Grace. How could we miss it?"She responded before drawing back from the woman,"I'm doing just fine. Glad to be out of the house. How are you and your new bun in the oven?"
