SEASON 5
Okay, so this story just popped into my head last night at work. It is set during season 5 and involved Nero and his henchman Lupe and Fiasco. They haven't been in many episodes, but there is a bit more info on them in this YouTube video by sutterink: BeforeTheAnarchy: Episode 7 "SAMCRO's New Neighbors" I'm not even going attempt to embed that code. Anyway…

Gemma didn't deal with rejection well. Especially when her own flesh and blood was responsible for it. When Nero told her to 'ask her son' why they couldn't be together Gemma nearly had a fit. But now, this just wouldn't do. She would not be replaced. She was sitting outside the Elk Lodge. Watching some little Latina tart half her age kiss Nero goodbye. As he headed back inside something in her snapped. She was out of her SUV and across the parking lot before she even registered her anger. And by the time Nero ran out at the screaming and pulled Gemma off the young girl she had bashed the tarts face into her small Camry a half dozen times.
"What the fuck is wrong with you?! What are you doing?" Nero screamed for help from inside as he literally picked Gemma up off the ground and threw her at one of the men helping to carry in boxes.
Gemma was in shock. The girl's blood covered her hands and jacket.
"Juan, call Fiasco! Call Jax Teller! Get him here, and their doctor!" He knelt down to the young girl on her knees in the gravel parking lot. "Matia, Jesus, Matia, sweetie talk to me."
"That was Nero. He needs us at the Elk Lodge, now. Chibs, call Tara tell her to bring her medical bag and meet us there." Jax snapped his phone shut as the majority of SAMCRO took off on their bikes. A medical emergency at a whore house that wasn't even open for business yet could not be good.
And as expected a problem with their newest half legit investment had nearly the entire club rolling into the Elk Lodge 20 minutes later. Jax Tig Happy Greg the Peg and Chibs on their bikes, Juice and Clay in their now standard van and Tara mere moments later. The men pulled weapons and rushed the door, Jax pushing Tara with her medical bag behind him for safety. They were expecting signs of a shootout, maybe vandalism. Not Nero's psycho henchman holding a gun to Gemma as Nero stood off to the side not bothering to hold him back all while an escort held a bag of ice to a bloodied woman's face.
"What the hell happened? Jesus ma, what did you do now?" Jax knew instantly his mother was at fault, there wasn't a doubt in his mind. Tara rushed forward to the girl, along with Chibs to assist her as well as protect her from their obviously angry 'business partners'.
"Here, let me see." Tara pulled the ice back revealing a very busted nose and a soon to be black eye.
"Jesus, did you do that to her?" Jax stepped up to his mother who was held firmly in Lupe's arms, pointing at the hurt girl.
"You and my man here need to work this out; I ain't on your side for this one Jax." Nero warned.
"Look, I know you take your job seriously, but you can't kill my mother for beating the shit out of one of the whores." Jax stepped towards Fiasco, whom he now recognized as the man who had insisted on a tit and finger to prove the death of Emma Jean.
"Your mother beat the shit out of my pregnant wife. I'll take what ever the fuck vengeance I want for that." Fiasco spoke perfect English with a slight accent.
"Jesus" Jax groaned wiping a hand over his face.
"Fucking hell."
"You have got to be kidding me."
A chorus of shocked voices came from the Sons situated around the room, weapons still drawn.
"You beat up a pregnant woman?" Jax half asked half screamed at his mother.
"I didn't know she was pregnant. She doesn't look pregnant." Gemma finally attempted to defend herself.
"All the more reason not to go around arbitrarily beating up random women!" Jax yelled as he heard Tara mumbling to the still bleeding woman.
"How far along are you?" Tara asked calmly giving the ice to Chibs to hold.
"5 months. She didn't hit my stomach." Matia spoke for the first time in a quivering voice free of any accent.
Tara nodded and pulled out a stethoscope to listen to her small baby bump. "Any cramping?" She asked as she moved the stethoscope around.
"No, but I'm nauseous."
"Aye lass, you probably swallowed a good amount of blood." Chibs assured her.
"He's right. The heart beat is strong, but you should still go to a hospital and get checked out." Tara put the stethoscope away and smiled to reassure the girl.
Jax nodded at Tara and turned back to the man that had yet to lower the gun from his mother's face. "Look, she's okay. Baby's okay. Take your wife to the doctors, I promise you will never see Gemma again."
"No." was all Fiasco would say.
"Fiasco please." Matia pleaded standing up with the help of Chibs.
"She broke Matia's nose. I want her nose." Fiasco decided after a glance at his wife and finally lowered his gun.
"You want her nose?" Jax asked. "You know what tit for tat, fine. Have her fucking nose." He threw his hands up in the air and turned to Gemma. "Maybe this'll teach you to do what you're fucking told and stay the hell out of club business." The last thing he needed as a new president was his own mother fucking up a brand new business venture. The MC men looked on with a range of emotions at their president who just gave a man permission to physically hurt his mother. Some were in shook, some were proud he had taken a stand for the club and not his mother.
Fiasco grinned and holstered his gun. "Jackson don't you dare let him hurt me. Jesus, I'm sorry alright? You happy? I'm fucking sorry. Nero do something!" Gemma pleaded.
"You want me to do something? You beat the shit out of my baby sister 'cause you saw me kiss her cheek." Nero yelled stepping closer to her. "You are a jealous woman Gemma. Too jealous, and I do not find it attractive. You come near me or my family again and I won't call your son. I'll let my boy kill you any way he sees fit." Nero resisted the urge to spit on Gemma and walked over, wrapping his arm around Matia and taking her out of Chibs firm hold.
Fiasco eyed his wife once more before taking the last step toward Gemma. But Matia knew the look she just got. As the rest of the men prepared themselves to watch their former queen get punched in the face Matia flew out of her brothers arms and grabbed her husband's wrist as he pulled his knife from his belt.
"Fiasco you will not cut off that woman's nose!" She yelled at her husband.
"Whoa!" Juice said in shock taking a step up to be in line with his brothers.
"Hey" Clay yelled stepping forward as well.
"Fuck no. No." Tig stepped closer as well when he saw the knife.
"Jesus bro! I meant you could break it, not fucking have it literally!" Jax finally pushed himself between Fiasco and his mother who was still held firmly in Lupe's arms.
"I don't want her nose Fiasco. Just drop it. Come with me to the hospital. I don't want fucking vengeance." Matia yelled at her husband but all he could see was the blood on her face.
"Matia, she can't get away with this." He ran a hand down her cheek and pulled her close whispering in her ear, "What if she hurt the baby?"
Matia pulled away from him. "You don't know if she did. Just take me to the doctor Fiasco, please." She rested her hand on her small bump and Nero pulled her back into his arms. Fiasco sheathed his knife and the reached around Jax to pull Gemma to him by her hair.
"If you hurt my child I will skin you alive." He seethed into her ear quietly, but loud enough for the impossible silent Sons to hear. Next thing anyone of them knew he spun her around and planted her face into the wall so hard it caved in the dry wall.
Matia and Tara both jumped and let out loud gasps as most of the Sons either cringed or winced. Tig stepped up and caught Gemma before her unconscious body hit the floor.
"Hey!" Jax grabbed Fiasco's arm as he turned to collect his wife; Happy stepping up next to him to prevent him from being harmed. "My wife will take you to St. Thomas and take a look at the baby. If the kid's fine, this is done and settled." The last thing Jax needed was a psycho going after his mother.
"And if"
"And if" Jax interrupted Fiasco, "God forbid anything is wrong we will decide together what the punishment will be." Fiasco growled in response as Jax released his arm.
"Chibs, go with Tara, I'll meet you there." Tara and Chibs nodded and left as Fiasco took his wife in gentle arms that didn't seem possible after what he did to Gemma and led her out to her car.
"Nero" Jax rubbed the back of his neck. "I'm sorry."
"Save it Jax. I'm going with Matia to the hospital. Our business arrangement stays the same, but if, and only if you keep that woman out of my, and my men's line of fire." Nero pointed to Gemma, still lights out in Tig's lap and jogged out the door to catch up with his sister.
"Jesus Christ, alright, put her in the van, get her to the hospital. Someone get her car out of here. I gotta go to the hospital. If that kid ain't 100% Fiasco's gonna go all Happy on my mother." Jax walked out trusting his men to follow orders.
Juice snickered and glanced at Happy who didn't seem fazed at being used as a scale of vengeance seeking.
Clay awkwardly knelt down next to Tig and examined Gemma's broken nose. "Take her to the hospital Juice, I'll take her SUV."
"Are you supposed to be driving yet?" Juice dared to ask, receiving dirty looks from the rest of the men present.
"Is this your first?" Tara awkwardly tried to make small talk as she applied gel to the ultrasound wand.
"Yes." Matia nodded and smiled, best she could at least, with her nose now set and bandaged.
"Were you trying or was it a happy accident?" Tara went on as she started the ultrasound.
"Very happy surprise. We tried for 2 years and finally gave up. When I started getting sick I wouldn't even take a test. I was so worried I would jinx it. Tara, if something is wrong with this baby Fiasco WILL kill Gemma." Matia admitted, sounding terrified.
Tara gave her a sympathetic smile and continued moving the wand around. "Is that why you had him wait in the hall?"
"If something's wrong I need to be the one to tell him, preferably while he's handcuffed to something very heavy." Matia said, completely serious and Tara gave her another small smile.
The baby looked perfectly healthy although nothing would be 100% till it was born. A fleeting thought popped into Tara's head that she could lie about the baby's health and use Fiasco to rid herself of Gemma. But Tara couldn't do that. Even though she wouldn't actually hurt the baby it just wasn't in her to put these nervous and excited prospective parents through the worry of something being wrong.
"As far as I can tell everything is just fine." Matai let out a huge sigh of relief along with a few tears of joy. "Do you want to know what you're having?"
"You can tell already?" Matia asked shocked.
"The baby's in the right position."
"Yes, please yes." Matia nodded her head emphatically.
"You're gonna have a boy."
"A boy? Oh my God." Tara couldn't help but smile and give the excited woman a hug before she rubbed the gel off her stomach.
Jax Chibs and Happy sat outside the examination room along with Lupe as Fiasco and Nero both paced outside the door. The rest of the men were with Gemma or finally back at the clubhouse.
"Hard choice; letting a man do that to Gem, and in front of you, for the good of the club." Chibs spoke up.
"Gemma needs to learn there are consequences to her actions. It's not the clubs sole duty to clean up after her shit." Jax defended the bold move.
"If the Lass or the baby aren't okay you gonna let him kill her?" Chibs dared to ask.
"I'd ask nothing less if it were my family." Happy added. Jax raised his eyebrow briefly and wondered if every criminal family had their own version of Happy.
"Let's just hope everyone is okay." Jax caved, resting his head in his hands.
The door opened and Tara stepped out, Fiasco and Nero both rushed into the room. "Gemma's gonna live another day. Matia is carrying a perfectly healthy baby boy."
Lupe jumped up at that and started spurting happily in Spanish as the other men shared a sigh of relief.
"I'm gonna set her up with a doctor here. She told me they've been trying to get pregnant for years now. And she said if anything does go wrong Fiasco will umm, make good on his threats." Tara tried to be subtle in the public waiting area.
"Then find her the best doctor here. Club will pay." Jax kissed Tara and nodded her away. "Chibs, pass on my congrats to the happy family. I'm gonna go tell my mother the good news."
I have 2 more chapters planned for Fiasco and Matia. I want to get them out before Tuesday incase Kurt Sutter throws a wrench in the new Elk Lodge story arc and makes my story completely farfetched. Not that is already isn't. So check back for updates soon!
