This was originally set as a one shot but it turned out too long so I'm splitting it into two chapters, for all the Tig/Venus Shippers..I know you're out there.

Venus/Tig

Chapter 1

…

Venus sat in front of dresser, applying the last few curls to her hair with her curling iron; she looked up when she heard the front door. She wondered to herself who could be dropping by at such a late hour.

"Who on earth, can't a girl have five minutes?" She muttered with her southern drawl.

The person on the other side of the door kept knocking, the sound getting louder.

"Alright' alright' I'm comin'…this better be an emergency."

She walked to the door and threw it open ready to yell at the person on the other side but stopped dead when she saw who was standing in front of her.

"Joey…"

"Hey Aunt Venus."

"Oh darlin', what are you doing here."

"I wanted to come home, can I come in."

"Oh yes of course honey, come on in."

Venus took the bag Joey was carrying and put it on the floor beside the door as her Son stood in the middle of the room looking around before his eyes landed on her.

"Were you going out?"

"No darlin', I just like to look nice…do I look okay?"

"You look great Aunt Venus."

"Okay Joey sit down, why don't you tell Aunt Venus what happened?"

"Look your friends were really nice and all but why couldn't I just stay here with you, I don't know those people."

"Did they do anything to you, darlin' if they did you tell me and I…"

"No, they were really nice. They took good care of me but…"

"What, sweetheart tell me."

"They weren't you, please can't I stay here with you."

"I only have the one bedroom darlin' and I…" Venus saw the sad and disappointed look in her Son's face and couldn't bare to see it any longer. "Okay, you stay here, why don't you get cleaned up, I'll make you something to eat and then you can get some sleep, you can have my bed."

"Where will you sleep?"

"I'll be fine here."

"Are you sure you weren't going out."

"No darlin', go on and change and I'll bring you a sandwich."

"Thanks Aunt Venus."

"Go on now."

…

Tig pulled in to the driveway and made his way up the stairs and used his key to enter the apartment, he walked in to see Venus fast asleep on the couch, the lights dimmed. He closed the door quietly and came to kneel beside her; he gave a small smile as he brushed a strand of hair from her face, stirring her from her sleep. She opened her eyes to see bright blue ones looking down at her.

"Alex, what time is it."

"It's nearly 11pm, I know I'm a bit late but I…."

"No, I fell asleep."

"Are you okay?"

"Why."

"You seem…I don't know baby…out of it."

Venus got to her feet and began pacing in front of him; he got to his feet and placed his hands on either side of her to still her. She looked in to his eyes and saw the worry in them.

"What is it baby? Talk to me."

"It's Joey."

"Joey?"

"My Son."

"Oh, wait but isn't he with your friends?"

"He was, he showed up here a few hours ago."

"Where is he?"

"Through there."

Tig moved away and went in to the bedroom to see Joey curled up under the blankets, fast asleep.

"Erm baby, you changed those sheets right, after we..."

"Well of course I did, what am I gonna do Alex…he wants to stay with me."

"Well you are his father, god it feels weird saying that."

"It's what I am."

"I know, I know baby."

"Are we okay?"

Tig looked up when he heard the uncertainty in her voice, the worry that covered her face. He walked up to her, bringing his arms around her before kissing her.

"We're okay, I just forget sometimes."

"Alexander I…."

"I do love you, trust me…baby, please."

"What am I gonna do about Joey?"

"He's your Son, let him stay with you."

"But what if he finds out the truth about me, over hears it from someone."

"Baby sit down for a minute."

…

Venus stood staring at Tig for a few moments before she gave in to his pleading eyes and came and sat beside him.

"Look, baby you need to tell the kid the truth sometime and maybe now is the right time."

"The right time, you think now is the right time to tell that young boy that his Aunt Venus is actually his Father."

"He already knows about your changes and he knows why you changed, what your Mom put you through, made you do…nearly made him do."

"He thinks she died from a heart attack when we argued."

"A heart attack?"

"Well what was I gonna say, that Jax Teller shot her through the head?"

"Okay, okay baby calm down."

"He'll hate me, the minute I tell that boy I'm his father he'll hate me."

"No he won't, you gotta give that kid some credit Venus. He's bright; you sat him down that night and told him what that bitch of a mom did to you, what she was prepared to do to him and how you saved him. The only thing left is to tell him this and you know what, I think he'll be cool with it cause he handled the rest just fine."

"Cool?"

"That kid loves you; he found his way back here in the middle of the night to be with you."

"I'm scared Alexander, I'm so scared."

Venus brushed a tear away as she leaned back and in to Tiggs arms, he placed a soft kiss to the top of her head as he held on tightly to her.

"We'll tell him together."

She drew back and looked back up at him. "You'd do that for me?"

"I love you baby, of course I would."

"Oh Alex, thank you."

They lapsed back in to silence before Tig spoke again.

"I've been something, to so with us."

"Oh…"

"Don't sound so worried baby."

"You're having second thoughts aren't you?"

"No, you gotta start believing what I tell you. I…love…you and that won't change, you're the only person who gets me, still loves me even though you know all the shit that goes on around me…and you still wanna be with me. I'm not goin' anywhere."

"Then what is it?"

"I'm serious about us; I want us to be like any other couple."

"Alex darlin', we'll never be a normal couple."

"I'm sick of hiding us, I wanna take you out, have you on my arm and be proud that your mine."

"Oh…I would love that." She smiled through tears.

"I wanna tell the club."

"You want…are you serious?"

"They're my family, the only ones who have been there through it all. There for me when my Daughter was killed, I need them to know."

"I adore them all, you know I do darlin' but what they don't accept this…what then."

"Then I walk."

"Leave the club?"

"It's either the club or you and I don't think I could go a day without having you here with me."

Venus looked down at him, his eyes glistening in the dark. He brought his hand to her face as he pulled her closer to him, covering her soft lips. The kiss deepened as Venus found her way onto his lap.

"Alex darlin' we can't do this here."

"Sure we can."

"Joey is right next door, now he's a sound sleeper but I don't want him waking up and findin' us like this."

"Then we'll be extremely quiet baby, I can if you can."

Tig covered her lips once more, a small moan escaping her mouth. "Oh gawd, okay just keep it down."

…

The next morning Joey walked out of the bedroom to find Venus wrapped in the arms of Tig, he vaguely remembered the man from the bus station the night Venus had said goodbye. He stood watching them for a few moments, a small smile on his face. Venus stirred when Tig began to snore, opening her eyes to see Joey watching her.

"Oh my gawd Joey, I…"

"Morning Aunt Venus."

"You're up, I...Alexander wake up."

"Huh, what are you…oh hey buddy."

"Hey."

Venus stood up and pulled her dress down while Tig got himself together.

"So, are you hungry…I'm sure I have something suitable for you."

"Toast is fine Aunt Venus."

"Toast okay…Alex would you like some."

"Sure baby, I'll just go clean up."

Joey watched as Tig walked away to the bathroom, making his way to the kitchen he found Venus putting the bread in the toaster.

"So…he knows where the bathroom is huh."

"Oh Alex, he's a friend that's all…he…"

"Aunt Venus, I'm not a kid anymore…he called you baby, as weird as it sounds, it's kinda sweet…he seems nice."

"He is nice, he's the sweetest, loveliest man and he loves me for who I am."

"Then why try to hide it from me."

"I don't know."

"If he makes you happy that's all that matters, you deserve it…all the shit grandma put you through."

"Your grandmother was complicated soul; some people shouldn't be parents…or grandparents."

"Did she really do those things to you, the stuff you told me about?"

"She did darlin' and I'm sorry, I never wanted you to know those things."

"No, I'm glad you told me…kinda makes me understand why Mom hated so much too."

"Your toast is ready."

"Thanks."

"Oh and on another note…don't let me hear you swearing like that again, not in this house."

"Sorry Aunt Venus."
