"You stay here with the bags. I will go get us a cab." Rebecca Costley sternly told her sixteen year old daughter. When the only response was an eye-roll, Rebecca shook her head and headed off to get a cab for the two of them. When she walked out into the sunshine, she took a deep breath, she couldn't believe that she was back on the west coast. It was a little over sixteen years since she had been on this side of the country and now here she was back to face her demons. Well one of her demons, the others could remain buried as far as she was concerned.
"What the fuck do you think you are doing here?" A female voice called from behind Rebecca. Rebecca took a deep breath and turned around to see Gemma Teller, or was it Morrow now, with her hands on her hips and a deadly glare on her face.
"How the hell did you know I was coming?" Rebecca asked.
"Doesn't fucking matter." Gemma snapped back. "I will not have you come back here to fuck up his life again. So get your ass back on whatever plane you just came from and get the fuck out of California. You are not wanted here." Gemma yelled taking a threatening step closer to her. Only to have someone step between them.
"Back the hell away from my mother." The young girl snarled at Gemma. Gemma was shocked speechless.
"You whore." Gemma snapped looking at Rebecca.
"What the hell did you just call her you bitch?"
"RORY!" Rebecca reprimanded her daughter. "I do not need you to fight my battles."
"Really, then why the hell are you dumping me here and still loving with Austin." Rory snapped at her mother this time. Rebecca went to say something, but was stunned silent when the sound of a lot of motorcycles stunned her silent. Rory turned and looked in amazement, as a bunch of bikers pulled up alongside the SUV, that must have belonged to the woman who was threatening her mother.
"Mom, what the hell are you doing?" A tall, blonde haired man, asked as he got off his bike taking his helmet off.
"Making sure the trash stayed the hell out of Charming." Gemma growled.
"Fuck you Gemma." Rebecca cried out. Rory had a look of shock cross her face.
"Why do I feel like I am missing something." The guy asked.
"You and me both." Rory spoke up. Making not only the guy but the rest of the bikers turn to look at her.
"HOLY SHIT!"
"No Way in hell."
"Becca?"
"Oh Shit." All came at the same time, from different guys on the bikes. Now they all got of their bikes and made their way over to them.
"She looks just like him." A heavy set, and hairy man stated.
"OH he is gonna be pissed." An older man with grey hair stated. "Half-Sack take Rebecca here and her daughter back to the clubhouse. Jax, Bobby and Juice. Follow Gemma and make sure she goes home." He ordered.
"Like Hell I am. I won't let this tart come back into his life and screw his life up again. Now we found out he has another daughter that she has kept hidden for however many years. I should kill the bitch right now." Gemma yelled at the guy.
"Wait. What the hell did you just say?" Rory cried out looking at Gemma. "Did you just say that he has no idea about me?" She quickly took in the faces around her and when they all had the same look that said the statement was true, Rory turned on her mother.
"You said he never wanted me. That he knew and didn't care. You are a lying goddamn bitch." Rebecca stopped her daughters rant in a matter of seconds, but smacking her across the face, making everyone take a step closer. Rory took a minute to compose herself, she rubbed her cheek for a minute then glared at her mother. "I hope Austin kills you." And with that she turned and began to walk away.
"Rory get back here." Rebecca yelled, as she began to follow her only to have Clay grab her arm and pull her back.
"Jax, Opie. Go get her bring her to the clubhouse." Both men quickly went to try to catch up to the girl in the crowded airport.
"You want to explain to me why you are showing up sixteen years later with his kid?"
"And what the hell did she mean about you dumping her here?" Gemma added. Seeing the mother and daughter fight, Gemma saw a little bit of her father's stubborn attitude in there.
"She has become to much, I can't handle her anymore." Rebecca explained hanging her head in shame.
"And you just thought that you could show say hey you have a kid. drop her off and leave." Gemma yelled. "Wow your just as shitty of a mother as you were a wife."
"Fuck you. YOu don't know what it was like with him."
"Please it was nothing to do with him. IT was all you and you know it." Bobby snapped. Making everyone who didn't know what was going on, perk up with interest, because Bobby usually didn't care what the hell went on with anyone if it wasn't club business he didn't care.
"Is that all you came to do?" Clay asked.
"Yes. MY boyfriend and our daughter are waiting for me at the gate for our plane to Houston. It leaves in a couple of hours."
"Well let us save you the trip. Get the fuck out of charming." Gemma growled. "Juice grab the girl's things and put them in my car." Rebecca watched mouth open as the guys began loading up her daughters life, and Gemma got back into the car. Everyone went to get back on their bikes, but neither Opie or Jax had come back with Rory yet.
"Clay." Rebecca called quietly. "Take care of my girl, please. And ummm can you give this to Alex?" She handed a letter over to him. Clay took it reluctantly.
"She will be taken care of you know that. It wasn't long ago that you showed up on our doorstep looking for a family. We take care of our own." Clay explained.
"Tell them I am sorry. For everything."
"ONly if you do me one thing." Clay stated, taking a step closer to her, taking an intimidating stance over her.
"What?" She asked.
"Don't ever come back." Rebecca let a tear slid down her face, but she nodded her head, turned and walked right back into the airport.
"What the hell just happened?" Clay asked as he wiped his hand over his face.
"WE just adopted Tig's kid." Gemma explained.
"Fuck." Clay laughed out.
"YEah, just wait till he finds out." Bobby laughed, everyone gave a nervous laugh along with him.
Rory had just kept walking. She didn't care anymore, she had nothing left. Her mother had a new family and didn't want anything to do with her. And now she was being sent to a father who knew didn't even know she existed. When she finally got to the end of the road, she simply took a seat on the curb. She put her head on her knees and just sat there trying to think of what the hell she was suppose to do now.
"You gonna sit there all day?" A voice called from behind her. She turned to see the blonde haired guy from earlier and another guy standing a few feet behind her. She simply just shrugged her shoulders.
"YOu mind if I sit?" He asked, as he sat. Again he only got a shoulder shrug. "So your name's Rory right?" He asked. She simply nodded her head. "I'm Jax, and this is Opie." She only nodded her head again.
"So your Tig's kid." Jax stated more than asked.
"Do you need something or are you just gonna annoy me to death?" Rory snapped. "Cause if you just here to annoy the hell out of me, you can happily go away now."
"You need to come with us." Opie stated simply.
"Why?" Rory asked.
"Cause we were told to bring you back."
"I don't know you, so why the hell would I go with you."
"Cause your mother just went through the security gate." Gemma stated.
"What?" Rory yelled standing up.
"She left."
"Un-fucking-believable." Rory shook her head, and then kicked the trashcan that was near.
"Come on. Your coming with us." Gemma said holding out her hand. Jax looked on in surprise, his mother didn't like outsiders, especially he female kind. But i guess since she was daughter it was different. Hell this whole situation was new.
"I don't really have a choice now do I." Rory replied, as she began walking beside Gemma.
"We will figure this all out when we get back to the clubhouse." Gemma explained. Rory kept her head down as she saw that all the bikers were still there and they were all staring at her. "Hop in." Gemma called as she opened her door and got in. Rory hesitated for a second, took a quick look back at the airport entrance, wiped a tear away from her eyes and opened the door.
"Let's go." Rory stated, more trying to convince herself that she was ok than were silent the whole ride back to the clubhouse. The guys all sped ahead to give Tig a heads up to what had just happened.
As the pulled into what looked like an auto-shop to Rory saw the same lines of bikes and the same guys standing at the front looking at the car, waiting for her to come out.
"Take all the time you need." Gemma stated, placing a comforting hand on Rory's knee.
"Which." Rory began, took a deep breath then began again. "Which one is he?"
"See Jax?" Rory nodded. "The guy with the curly hair standing next to him. That's Alex Trager, Or Tigger or Tig as we call him." Gemma explained, only to get a huge laugh out of Rory. "What?" Gemma asked with a curious smile.
"You all call him Tigger?" Gemma nodded her head. "Abby, my little sister started it, but all my friends call me Roo." Rory laughed.
"Tigger and Roo?" Gemma asked, both girls shared a laugh over the situation. The guys all just stared in confused silence as they all watched the two women laughing like maniacs in the front seats of the car. Tig went to take a step forward, but was stopped by both Jax and Clay's hands. "Let her come to you."
Since the guys told him, he had had an array of emotions flood him. Now he was just curious, he wanted to meet what would be his first born daughter.
"What the fuck are they laughing at?" Tig growled. Finally the women exited the car. Gemma walked straight over to Tig and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Then kissed Clay and remained at his side as Tig took a step forward. Rory had only taken a couple of steps from the car and stopped, not wanting to approach the group of men.
"All of you lazy asses, get back to work." Clay yelled, Tig turned to look at his best friend. Clay nodded and walked with Gemma back to the office.
Tig walked up to the young girl, who had his eyes, Rebecca's hair, and according to CLay, his attitude. "Hi." He stated.
"HI." She stated back.
"Come on." Tig motioned for her to follow and began walking to the building opposite the auto shop. Rory gave a quick look to Gemma who was standing at the office door. Gemma gave the girl a comforting nod, and watched as the girl followed her father into the clubhouse.
"Things just got interesting around here." Clay stated from beside his wife.
"IF she is anything like Rebecca, we are definetly gonna have our hands full." Gemma stated.
