One full year. That's how long he had been in charming, been patched into SAMCRO from SAMBEL. He missed his homeland but knew he would probably never be setting foot on his native soil ever again. After being painfully disowned by the IRA and having his wife abandoned him for the man that left him physically scarred for life and his daughter had probably no idea who he was anymore. Although these factors were constantly on his mind, he was very grateful for the brothers he now had, they had patched him over with open arms, didn't ask that many questions, but all knew the back story. Tonight was a celebration, few new member were being patched in. Gemma, the queen of SAMCRO, had once again gone out of her way to make this a night to remember. You could smell the pig roasting through the clubhouse and into the garage, the fridge and bar was fully stocked. He watched her running around trying to finish a few things up before she left. Apparently she had to go out and pick up someone at the airport. He was slightly confused about it because he didn't understand why one of the prospects couldn't go, but she insisted that she go pick this mysterious person was. He even noticed Clay was acting almost nervous about this fly in.
"Aye, what's the deal with the flight coming in?" he asked Bobby his first true friend in the club.
"I'm pretty sure I have a good idea on who is coming, haven't seen them in a couple years but heads up, stay on their good side"
Confused by his friend's statement, Chibs decided to go upstairs and clean up in his dorm room in the clubhouse.
Gemma drove to the airport exciting to see her longtime friend. She hadn't seen her in a few years but was always in contact with her. It was crazy to think that her best friend had become so successful in such a short amount of time and able to cover her tracks of the other things that she was involved in. Gemma pulled into the parking lot and walked to the arrival gate to wait. About twenty minutes later she saw the plane landing and began to pace, trying to patiently wait. Within several minutes people began to exit the gate slowly. Then through the crowd she saw her walking through looking fabulous as ever.
"Well look at that sexy thang strutting her stuff towards me" Gemma exclaimed while reaching for an embrace.
"Oh Gemma stop! I'd prefer the least amount of attention drawn to my visit" she laughed
"sure Celina, us ladies not wanting attention is almost as believable as us going to church on Sunday" Gemma smirked as she walked toward the baggage claim "I'm glad you're home love, and you came just in time, new member being patched in, big party at the clubhouse"
"So is that an invitation to forget about my problems for a weekend" Celina laughed.
"Honey our house is your house; you damn well know you'll forget everything by the weekend"
They grabbed her bags and headed to Gemma's car. Celina smiled to herself and thought how great it felt to be home.
A few of the guys we're outside when Gemma's car pulled into Teller Morrow. Clay stopped working on a customer's vehicle and smiled. "Someone go help with her bags" he yelled towards a few prospects. "Her?" Chibs questioned bobby. "Knew she was coming, like I said stay on her good side" bobby smirked as they walked towards the vehicle. Just then the passenger down swung open and a beautiful tall brunette with fire engine red streaks through her hair emerged. Chibs stopped dead in his tracks and couldn't help but stare.
"Well are you just going to gawk like a school boy or are you going to bring my bags inside."
"Aye, sorry lass, where would you like me to bring your bags?"
"To my room upstairs? Really Gemma where are you guys recruiting these days" she laughed and walked past him towards Clay. "Clay hunny, it's been too long you never come to visit me anymore" she deeply hugged the man. "You're too busy for us to keep tabs on you anymore, not like you need it though" he chuckled. "Well business before pleasure, besides I'm home for a week I expect to enjoy myself and have a break from my crazy life. Now care to introduce me to these new members? Plus I'd like to see some familiar faces as well." Her gaze went across the yard looking to see who all was there.
"Jax and Opie should be here soon sent them on a few errands. Piney is at the bar and well bobby helped Chibs bring your bags upstairs…"
"Chibs?" Celina interrupted "yea the staring Scotsman" clay laughed
Celina grinned "Gemma doll come with me upstairs and help me pick something out to wear tonight and clay, I'll be expecting that introduction when I come back" she said as they walked towards the club house . As both women were heading to her room they past bobby and Chibs and she shot him a smile.
"She likes you" bobby nudged and chuckled. Chibs thought to himself on how this evening could be very long and sighed.
