Evening came around and the guys were heading back to the clubhouse Ricky was hosting them at, with a plan to meet in the morning at the diner before flying home. Rose was sad to leave the place, but she knew she needed to be home where her family were. She didn't want her boy born anywhere else.

Rose knew Drew was going to miss his gran very much, but she also knew he was excited to start a new life, it was going to be the best thing for them all.

Ace joined Rose back at her home, Drew deciding to spend his last night in America with Dana.

Opening her door, Rose laughed, "They really didn't leave anything behind did they" she mused.

Ace chuckles, "They left the bed and a bag of clothes for the plane in case you wanted to change, they'll collect the bed tomorrow when we wake up" he tells her.

Rose nods her head as she lets out a yawn making Ace smile, even when she was sleepy, she look gorgeous.

Rose walks into her room, placing her jacket down she moves towards the bathroom, Ace had already stripped off and jumped into bed with nothing but his boxer on.

She was amused "Are you comfortable?" she inquires.

"I would be more comfortable if you would join me" he says with a smile, but Rose saw the mischievousness sparkling in his eyes.

Rolling her eyes humorously, Rose walks into the bathroom to do her business and brush her teeth then returns, standing next to the bed she looks at Ace with a raised eyebrow, he wasn't going to turn away when she stripped nor did she expect him too.

Unbuttoning her jeans she slowly pushes them down her thighs, glancing at Ace she sees him watching her with hooded eyes, biting her lip to stop herself from laughing, Rose pushes her jeans off and then steps out of them, removing her socks as she does.

Placing her hands onto her legs she slowly drags them up her body until they reached the hem of her shirt.

A groan escapes Ace's lips as he watches Rose tease him, "Rose you need to stop" he says already feeling her member twitch t the sight before him.

She smiles, she had spent most of her pregnancy horny and unable to satisfy herself, this was the first time she was alone with Ace and she was going to take advantage of that, her tiredness no longer an issue.

"What if I don't want to stop?" she says softly.

Looking up at the beautiful girls face he sees her bottom lip held between her teeth and that was all it took to lose all composure.

Jumping up, Ace grabs a hold of Rose and pulls her onto the bed, laying her on her back he hovers over her, his eyes raking over her shirt covered torso.

"Are you sure, I don't want this to be another reason I'm in the doghouse" he says.

Rose smiles, reaching up she wraps one hand around his neck, her fingers locking around his hair and tugs him down till he was inches from her lips.

"I'm sure" she says, fresh minty breath dancing across his lips, his tongue darting out to taste the delectable flavour.

Ace needed no more confirmation as Rose places her soft lips onto his. Their lips dancing with one another until Ace darts his tongue across her lips and she moans at the euphoric feeling it sent through her highly hormonal body. Their tongues battle for dominance until Ace wins making him smirk in delight.

Rose wanted him closer and pulls his torso till it was resting on her own, he held himself up with his forearms not wanting to crush his unborn child.

Ace trails kisses down her jaw to the nape of Rose's neck. Her breathing increased as Ace kneeled on the bed, one knee between her thighs lightly pushing against her sensitive area, the only cloth between them was her underwear.

His hands trail down sides covered in the shirt until they landed on her bare thighs and he made his way back up, his hands lifting the shirt as he moved, revealing the small bump which he left a kiss, the small gesture had Rose whimpering in need.

Leaving the shirt resting at the bottom of her breasts, Ace's hands dances across her flesh as he leaves wet open mouth kisses. She wriggles on the bed "Nathaniel" she moans out in irritation, she wanted him.

He chuckles at her frustration, his laughter vibrating across her body making her groan in annoyance, "Nathaniel Ace Mathews, stop fucking about, I have waited months for this and now you're just teasing me" she whimpers.

One hand skilfully to the clasp of Rose's bra and Ace detaches it in one motion and he pulls the bra from underneath her shirt. Carelessly throwing it to the side, he tugs Rose's shirt and she sits up allowing him to pull the shirt over her head, again tossing her clothing on the floor.

He stares at the beauty before him, however Rose felt redness grow in her cheeks as she looked at Ace looking at her nearly completely naked. She moves her arms to cover up, "No, don't" he whispers like saying it any louder would scare Rose.

She places her arms back by her side just as Ace leans down and places a passionate kiss to her lips, his hands trailing down her side till his finger hook into her underwear.

"I love you" he says as his lips disconnect from Rose's she couldn't help but smile.

His member twitched with need as he removed his boxers, placing a kiss on her lips again he entered her, both moaning in pleasure at the contact between the two, it was a feeling she almost forgot, Ace was the only guy she had sex with and after tonight she was sure he would be the only one.

*

Rose was hot when she woke up, the smooth chest her head rested on was the culprit of the heat source, Ace was still sleeping when Rose woke, she took the opportunity to trace his tattoos on his torso and chest.

The soft feeling of her fingers woke Ace, "Are you enjoying yourself?" he asks with a lazy smile.

Rose looks up to him with a smile, but that smile turned into a groan as she rolled away from him, her naked body wrapping up in the bed sheets.

"What?" he was confused, she was okay a minute ago.

"Hormones" was all she muttered as she buried her face into the pillow. Ace laughed and rolled over, holding himself up with on arm, he left a light kiss on her shoulder making Rose smile in content.

Ace laughs "Okay hormonal baby mamma, we need to get up, the guys will be here soon to dismantle the bed to take to the jet" he says his forehead resting against her back as he drew random patterns on her back.

Rose nods her head but neither made any move to get up "We should get up" she confirms.

"Mhh" he replies, again neither move, he begins to leave a trail of kisses up her back, her body shivering from the touch and arching towards him wanting more, but after last nights rounds, Rose was unsure if she would be able to walk let alone move.

"Ace" she lets out in a breath.

"Yes Rose?" his morning voice teasing Rose, she could already feel herself melting.

"What are you doing?" she says barely above a whisper, if the room weren't filled with silence, he would never have heard her.

"Continuing last night's adventure, I never got to fully explore the body that was carrying my son" he murmurs against her skin, each word vibrated through his lips onto her skin, she couldn't help but moan.

Ace smiled at how sensitive she was to his touch.

Rose couldn't respond as the doorbell rings and Ace groans in annoyance making Rose laugh.

She sits up in bed, putting her feet over the edge she stands, but not without wincing "Did I hurt you?" Ace concerned for Rose; he didn't want her in pain.

She looks over her naked shoulder at him and smiles, "No, I'm okay, just sore, this is only the second time I've done this, both of them containing many rounds" she giggles.

Ace smirks "I like a girl with stamina" he says as his eyes rakes over her bare behind.

Grabbing her underwear and bra she slips them on then heads out the room.

Ace's eyes widen and calls after her "Don't answer that door naked" he yells.

Rose laughs and opens the door as the knocking gets more erratic, "You do know I heard you the first time, right?" she says.

Surprisingly, everyone including her father and Drew were stood in front of her as Rose stood in her underwear.

"And you do know you are stood half naked opening a door" Drew observes with a cheeky smile.

Rose opens the door wider so the guys could come in "No one knocks like my crew" she says as the door closes, Scott places a kiss on his daughters head completely unscathed by the fact she was in her underwear in front of nine guys.

"Why is everyone here, I thought only two of you would take the bed down?" she questions.

"Figured we would all come here and then Dana's saving a trip back and forth to the airstrip" Leighton says.

Rose nods her head, as Ace walks out wearing nothing but his jeans, his shirt in his hand, "Why are you walking around half naked?" he scolds, grabbing he shirt and pulling it on her head before kissing her on the lips.

"Relax, I've walked around in less with the older guys, and the boys have seen me in underwear before" Rose tells Ace.

He wasn't happy about it, but he saw that none of the guys were looking at Rose below the neck, and Scott nor Leighton had an issue with it, he sighs, "Fine, but I still don't like it" he mumbles and Rose chuckles placing a kiss on his cheek.

The guys took apart the bed and carried it down to the car, Rose puts on some pants and Ace puts on a shirt and they head to the cars, Locking up the apartment, she took the key down to the ground floor and left it for the owner.

When they got to the diner, Rose was the first through the door and she stopped short upon seeing two boxes full of food and Dana currently adding more "Dana, what are you doing?" Rose asks.

Dana looks up and smiles once she placed more food in the box "I told you I would be giving you some food for the trip" she says with a smile, like this amount of food wasn't an issue.

Rose shakes her head "Yeah, some food, not your entire content of food".

Dana shrugs, "Well you do have eleven boys to feed on the trip, that little baby and I doubt the snacks on the plane will cover that" she says.

Rose laughs, if anything her father would have forgotten to restock the food from the trip to Australia.

Everyone sat into two booths, only a few other customers were in the diner as it was still early, Dana never bothered to ask what they wanted, she had already cooked a full breakfast for them all including Rose.

Goodbyes were hard, Scott thanked Dana for looking after his little girl and Ace for his girl and son, he was also reprimanded for what happened, and Ace nodded his head and apologised to Dana for what he did.

Drew held onto his grandmother for dear life, tear threatening to spill when they finally separated, when it was Rose's turn she almost cried herself, "Thank you Dana, for everything, and for letting Drew get out of this hell hole" she says.

Dana smiled and brushed a strand of hair from Rose's face, "Don't thank me, you've helped me so much and knowing Drew will be taken care of and you will be there to look after him, taking him away from this place is enough" she says with a teary smile.

"Well if you ever want to visit, just let me know and I'll have you over in no time" Rose told Dana who nodded in appreciation, "And I will send a photo of the baby when he's born".

Dana nods "Make sure you do" she chimes.

Ace and Drew carried the boxes of food to the cars, Ricky and one of his guys driving so they could take the cars back to the compound as they borrowed them from the club.

At the airstrip, the guys loaded onto the jet, Rose stayed behind with Leighton and her father as they said their goodbye's to Ricky.

"Thank you for all your help" Scott says as he hugs Ricky, followed by Leighton.

"Not a problem, let's hope this doesn't happen again" Ricky says looking at Rose with a pointed look.

She grinned "Don't worry, it won't" she confirms.

Risky nods in satisfaction, he looks at Rose and smiles, Scott and Sam were so much alike, he never thought Rose would look so similar too. "You have the same spark as Sam" he says, and Rose smiles sadly.

Scott too had the same spark, but it was never as vibrant as Sam's, probably because Sam was always trying to shield Scott, but Ricky saw the spark in Rose, even after this past month, Ricky was still trying to wrap his head around having a kid.

Scott nodded his head "I see it more and more everyday" he added to the comment of his old friend.

Ricky chuckled, "Never thought you would have been the one to have a kid at a young age, then again like father like daughter" Ricky laughed making them all laugh.

"What can I say, I take after my dad" Rose giggles.

Everyone boarded the plane, and settled into their own thing, Drew joined in on a card game Ryan, Tommy and Jack were playing, Leighton and Scott discussed work, and the others were left to their own devices.

Ace sat beside Rose who fallen asleep on the ascent of the plane, her head resting against his shoulder. He occasionally conversed with one of the guys.

Rose slept the entire plane ride, the nurse told Rose that when she was tired she could sleep like the dead for hours but fourteen hours was a little eccentric she thought as Ace woke her up with a look of concern, "I thought you were dead, we kept trying to wake you but she never responded" he said worriedly.

Rose smiled tiredly at him "Sorry, I must have been really tired" she spoke softly.

Ace scooped her up in his arms and carried her out of the plane where the guys were already loading the cars with Rose's belongings.

The car ride home was another hour in which Rose slept. As Scott drove, he couldn't help but look at his sleeping daughter, she had never slept thins long and never so heavily that she couldn't be woken, he felt something was wrong, but he didn't know what.

The other guys were also worried, Scott got her to eat something when they arrived at the house, but she fell asleep again on the couch. Everyone sat in the dining room eating take out, no one bothered to cook. Not that any of them could cook, Rose usually cooked if they didn't get takeaway.

The rest of the baby things were taken into Rose's room, they replaced her single bed with the double brought back from Australia and placed the single bed in storage for now. They left Rose to organise her baby things, she was a neat freak about things like that and Scott thought it would be nice for Rose to organise things how she wanted, after all she was the expectant mother.

Rose fell asleep on the couch at ten in the evening, she woke at eleven the following morning, a blanket placed over her at some point during the night.

Rose sat up and rubbed her eyes, chatted came from the kitchen and she stood, wobbling a little before moving towards the talk.

James spotted Rose in the doorway and smiled, though he was concerned like everyone else, he didn't want to scare her, "Rose, you're awake" he announces ceasing all talk in the room.

Rose saw they all had the same smile on their face, but their eyes told a different story "Why are you guys looking at me like that?" she wonders groggily.

"Were just concerned, you have never slept this long, first fourteen hours on the flight and we couldn't wake you, then an hour in the car and now another thirteen hours, that almost twenty eight hours in a row" Scott tells his daughter, she looks at him a sends a lazy smile his way.

"Sweetheart are you okay?" he wonders hoping he would tell her if there was something wrong, he knew she would. She would never put herself of her baby at risk on purpose.

"Yeah daddy, just tired" a Freudian slip. Scott was on his feet in an instant stood in front of Rose examining her face as she lets out another yawn.

Rose then realised what she said, she never called him 'Daddy' unless something was wrong, it was kind of a code word as such in case they were in danger, but it was also used when she was unwell, Rose slipped back into her childhood ways when she was ill. The worst however was when it just slips out without Rose thinking. That only meant it was worse than originally thought.

Rose felt her eyes begin to close again, this was more that just being tired, she was about to fall asleep stood up.

"Okay, we need to get you to the hospital" Scott observes "Leighton get the keys, everyone stay here, Ace come on" he calls out.

Looking down at his daughter he smiles, "Come on sweetie" he says as he picks her up, Rose wraps her arms around her father's neck but she had no strength to hold on, she was suddenly weak and she herself knew something was wrong.

"My baby" she whispers as she slipped unconscious again.

Scott looked down at his little girl "Stay awake Rose" he urged, but feared it was too late. She was out cold before they even left the house.
