So here I am starting another story when I know I really shouldn't but oh well.

Please enjoy and review!
Gemma was stood in the waiting room as Wendy was in with her OBGYN getting her first ultra-sound. She couldn't believe that after finally managing to pry her son away from the junkie bitch, Wendy had managed to get pregnant, with Jax's baby no less. If she'd known that Wendy's appointment was today she would have been in there with her son's ex, but she'd only found out when one of the nurses (who spent her nights being a crow eater) had called her after Wendy had arrived at the hospital. If she wasn't afraid that the slightest amount of stress would send Wendy back to shooting up, she would have stormed in there, but she was choosing to be the bigger person and waited outside instead. She was torn from her thoughts however, when she heard yelling coming from one of the rooms down the hall, and saw an older couple be thrown out of a room, when they tried to go back in security escorted them from the hospital. She saw the nurses whisper amongst themselves and she realised who the couple were. The Sutherlands, they had been in Charming almost as long as the Oswald's, everyone knew who they were. The couple had always thought they were better than everyone, they saw themselves above everyone, including the Oswald's. And because everyone knew who they were, everyone knew why they were in the hospital. Their daughter had overdosed on prescription pills while her three-year-old kid was in the house, and she had been brought to the hospital to have her stomach pumped. What Gemma didn't know however, was why they'd just been thrown out of their daughter's hospital room, but if there was one thing she was good at, it was finding shit out that people would rather stayed buried.
Mia stood at the foot of her sister's bed, she had already been on her way to Charming when she'd heard what her moronic sibling had done. By the time she'd reached St Thomas, her lawyer had already drawn up papers naming her the legal guardian of her niece Zoe and ones that said that her sister Ava relinquished her rights as Zoe's sole parent. If her sister wanted to ruin her life, then that was fine, but she wasn't about to let her ruin Zoe's life, there was no way in hell that was going to happen. So when she arrived at the hospital she'd managed to distract her sister's parents with a CPS employee who wanted to take Zoe away from the family, and headed upstairs. When Mia showed Ava the papers, her little sister had shaken her head and refused to sign them, as siblings the two weren't close, as children they'd been raised in the foster system in England, until one day the Sutherland's had come to town and adopted a four-year-old Ava, leaving a seven-year-old Mia behind.
"You're really going to leave this up to chance?" Mia asked, "CPS is downstairs right now, they're not going to leave Zoe with you or your parents, at least with me you know she'll be safe."
"She's my daughter," Ava protested.
"Yeah, and no one is going to believe that she'll be safe with you, a pill popping, drug dealing, alcoholic."
"And you think you can do better?! Your life has always been so easy hasn't it?" Ava sneered, ever since she'd been reunited with her sister she'd always felt jealous of her. Mia had a successful life, she wasn't burdened with an unwanted child, she wasn't an addict and whatever it was that she did for a living kept her in the green all the time.
"Easy?" Mia scoffed, "Easy! You call being raised in the system easy? You were too young to remember what living in those homes was like, you know why, because you were adopted, and the people that adopted you weren't neglectful, they weren't abusive. They put you in the best schools and gave you everything you ever wanted, you're the one that got pregnant by a man you don't know, you're the one decided to get hooked on drugs. You screwed yourself, I'm not about to let you fuck up Zoe's life. Now are you going to sign the papers of your own volition or do I have to make you?"
"She can stay with my parents," Ava said, "they can be her guardians."
"Your parents knew you were screwed up and still let her stay with you, you're signing the papers and I'm going to take care of Zoe."
"That's not happening." Ava replied, she tried to be strong, but she didn't know her sister, if she had, she would have just signed the papers and been free.
Mia looked at the pathetic image her sister made in the hospital bed and cruel smile spread across her face, reaching into her bag she took a file and threw it in her sister's face, and as Ava read through it her face became pale. "What is this?"
"Evidence that you've been buying your drugs from some known, and unknown dealers in and out of Charming, evidence that you've been selling drugs to minors, if you don't sign those papers, I'm going to make sure that these make their way to the District Attorney, and you will end up in jail for a very long time, not even Mommy and Daddy's money will get you out of the hole that I put you in. Now it's your choice, jail time, or the ability to live your life child free?"
Her green eyes burned into her little sister's matching ones, the only thing that shared apart from their mother's DNA, Mia knew that she had her, there was no way that Ava was going to risk prison just so she could keep her kid. Sighing Ava broke eye contact with her older sister and picked up the papers that she'd been handed before and signed them, from that moment she was no longer a mother to her daughter, and despite the fact that she resented the fact that her sister had gotten what she wanted, Ava had never felt more relief in that moment.
Smirking, Mia snatched the documents from Ava's hands before she could change her mind and stuffed them in her bag, she would pick up Zoe and get them sent off to her lawyer immediately, she'd never planned on having kids, but Zoe was her blood, and she would take care of her as if she were her own. "Pleasure doing business with you sis." And with those final words, Mia walked out of her sister's life.
It was only a few minutes after she'd left, that Ava's parents walked in, and when they'd heard what their daughter had done they had screamed at her, screamed and cried and begged her to tell them that she hadn't done what she'd said she had. They'd been escorted out by security and soon after were on the phone with their lawyer, trying to undo what they believed was their daughter's biggest mistake.
Mia stood at the window of a room in the only decent hotel in Charming, Zoe was asleep in the bed, it was clear that the girl didn't have the most stable childhood, she hadn't even questioned it when she'd been picked up by an aunt that she'd never met before. Sighing she moved over to the bed and crawled in beside her niece. With her niece living in Charming, Mia had decided that it would be prudent to have a house there, so she'd bought one six months ago, but it had required plenty of work to be done to it in order to get it up to standard. That was why she was already on her way to the small town; the contractors had finished their work and she was going to check it out and furnish the place. Tomorrow she would have to get the place set up to live in and with no one to watch Zoe it would be a long day for both of them tomorrow, she'd didn't know the first thing about kids, but she'd learn fast.
So here's the first chapter, it's a little short I know, but the second chapter is longer and the will start to interact with the Sons.
