"I freaked out, okay? I hadn’t told anyone about us yet You were in a da I had so much to explain and I just needed to focus on you"

"Why? I wasn’t going anywhere," he smiles

"Not funny, man," I retort

"So you chased her off?" he asks

"Oh,fit until she left," Cole adds

"Cut him some slack," Quinn chimes in

"I yelled at her to leave" I finally admit

"In front of all of her friends?" Jax asks, and I shauess I needed to follow in your footsteps, big brother" I try to give him a snarky smile

"Jackass" He lies back and seems to letit won’t be for long "Quinn, wake up! Geez, I thought you’d be more excited to seehiain I don’t like the Em you leave behind," she says to him

She quickly swipes at her eyes and laughs through the tears "It’s okay, it’s okay! Keep going" She points to the box in his hand and he pops it open to show her the two-karat diaasp at the sa

"Emerson Moore, every day you find a neay to save me Please,as I live"

"Pregnant girl? Who the hell is pregnant?" I question, since everyone else has obviously been struck dumb

Jax looks at Quinn in bewilderment "Didn’t you tell me"

"You were in a coma! I didn’t think you could actually hear ive him a dirty look

"Oh shit, they don’t know?" Jax rushes to ask

"WHAT?" Em yells Quinn doesn’t answer Em She doesn’t look at Jax or host-boyfriend Well damn

"Quinny?" Cole whispers

"II just haven’t found the time to talk to you yet" she stutters It takes Cole three long strides to cross the length of the room before he falls to his knees in front of Quinn Immediately, he latches onto her hps and looks up at her fro to tellto sound as hoarse as Jaxon’s Quinn looks around the room uncomfortably All eyes are on her and I feel for her
