DISCLAIMER: KURT SUTTER OWNS WHAT YOU KNOW

NIKKI

Five years, I can't believe I have been married to the most wonderful man ever for five years. I sat in the rocker of our nursery, holding Mikayla in my arms as I rock her for her nap. She has her daddy's eyes and my hair, the most gorgeous little girl on the planet if I say so myself. She's turning three today and I really hope she sleeps before the party tonight. Jax was getting the boys, since it was Friday, after work and then everyone was heading here for swimming and food. The last five years have been calm, nothing really out of the ordinary.

When Jax and I progressed to new levels, we made sure the boys knew what was going on. They were there when we got married and Tara ended up delivering Mikayla because my OB had an emergency C-Section with another woman. Tara and I still don't talk and I let Jax deal with his ex-wife, it's easier that way. I didn't work and really didn't need to as Jax was owner for the shop now that Clay and JT were both gone, Gemma made sure in the wills so that her son wouldn't be without what his father built up. I smile as I watch my little girls eyes close and slowly get up to put her in the crib before heading out to make sure we don't need anything else before everyone gets here. She was Jax's princess, that's for sure. I hear the door open as I shut the door to Mikayla's room just a tad and smile when I see Sam.

"Hey, you get everything settled in?"

She smiles and I pull us out some water, texting Gemma to get the cake on her way here.

"Oh yea, it's been rough with getting Kim from that awful woman, but Matt and I think this move is good on her."

I nod. "Agreed, new place, new family. Jax and I are here and she loves the crap out of Abel and Thomas."

Sam laughs, "I told Matt that she's going to be a Teller like her Auntie Nikki; he told me to shut the hell up as she's never getting married."

We laugh and continue to talk about little things. Matt was opening a Tattoo shop across from the shop and Happy was throwing in the towel on inking so that Matt could get some clients. Matt did my crow that sits happily between my wings on my lower back. He also did Jax's when Mikayla was born. Hers was a pink rose with her name on the opposite side of his chest by Abel's. All the guys started going to him if they wanted one and Matt gave them a discount if the other members from out of town came to get one also.

"Knock Knock."

We get out of our musings as Gemma comes through about the time I hear Mikayla start to stir and open the door. I laugh as she screams for Gemma and runs as fast as she can to her grandmother. I take the cake from Gemma and sit it in the fridge so the icing doesn't melt. Matt comes in behind Gemma and I hand him the meet to get ready, letting him know Jax is getting the boys from their mother.

"Mikayla, go get your suit on. When daddy gets here with your brothers you get to get in the water."

"Ok, mommy. Gamma, will you help?"

Gemma smiles at the girl in her arms, "Of course, baby girl."

I smile as they head back to Mikayla's room. I give Sam the things for salad as Kim goes to the bathroom to change into her suit and I pull out the stuff for fried potatoes. I start peeling them as I hear Jax and the boys pull up. The boys holler out a "Hello" as they make their way to their room, to change most likely. They live in the pool when they are here. I feel arms wrap around me and sigh as Jax kisses my neck to say hello before grabbing a beer for him and Matt and going outside.

"Sam watch the potatoes. I'm going to change for Mikayla."

"Sure, hun. Jax ok?"

I turn to look at him before answering. "Things with Tara."

She just nods and I walk back to change, bumping into the boys. "Stop running Abel, Thomas you to."

"YES, NIKKI." I hear them holler as Jax grabs them to get them to slow down.

I close my door and pull my black tankini out as I usually did when the kids were here. As a mom, I try not to show too much when I have all three of them. After they are asleep though, my darling husband has been know to convince me to wear the bikini's again. I finish pulling my bottoms up when Jax squeezes into the room.

"Ma's got the kids and everyone's getting here, babe."

I nod and turn around, letting Jax tie the top on for me. "Everything ok when you picked them up?"

I watch him shake his head through the mirror. "I think it's bad, babe. Abel and Thomas flinched a bit when I got there today."

I turn to face him and took his hand. "Did you ask them about it? Tara?"

He sat and pulled me to him. "Tara was asleep, Thomas says she does that a lot. George just sat in the living room with a beer. I didn't get much out of them."

I hugged him to me and sighed. "Talk to Matt. If this is like what happened with Kim's mom, Jax...the boys aren't safe."

I feel him wrap his arms around me and kiss my stomach. "I know, I will. Right now, my baby's turning three. Let's just try to have fun ok?"

I kiss his lips, "Ok, Mr. Teller."

He smiles and spanks my ass as I leave him to change.

I come out and wade into the water a bit so that I can keep up with Mikayla. We were teaching her how to swim so that if she fell in, she'd be alright. Abel and Thomas learned after about week of Jax moving in as it's a lot safer that way. I smiled as I heard all the kids laughing.

"Thomas, what happened?"

I look up and see Gemma holding Thomas' leg. I watch as Jax gets to him and takes him out to see the damage. Someone touches my arm and I look to see my dad. I nod and let him take care of Mikayla while I head over to Jax. One of the kids hurt always makes me hurt, but giving what Jax has been observing with the house those two live at, I'm scared. I get to Jax, who's with Matt, to see Matt put his hand over a bruise, a hand shaped one. I feel the tears and Jax looks at me.

"Dad, I'm ok. Can I go back in, please?"

Jax just nods and let's Thomas go. I turn and walk into my house, sitting at the kitchen table. I hear someone walk in and I know it's Jax. He bends down to my level and makes me look at him. We stare at each other and his hands cup my face, wiping the tears.

"They can't live there if they are getting hurt." I whisper.

"I'll talk to Tara when I take them home. Try to anyway, she seems to be sleeping every time I go over there."

I nod and he hugs me before we go back out, trying not to think of what those boys are going through.

Everything went smoothly, thanks to the adults not questioning Thomas and Abel anymore. I notice a similar bruise on Abels back and showed Jax without anyone noticing. He sighs and takes a picture of it like he did Thomas' leg. Gemma helped with the cake and Mikayla blew her candles out like a pro. She sat in Jax's lap while she opened her presents, always the daddy's girl. She got loads of toys and some clothes. Jax and his mom keep the kids busy while Sam helps me clean up as everyone slowly starts to leave for the night. I sigh as I put the last of the food in the fridge and Sam and Matt are the last ones here. I hear Jax tell the boys to get cleaned if they want a movie before bed. I smile as they walk through to their bathroom, my husband trailing behind with Mikayla. Kim gives me a hug as Matt and Sam head out the door and I sigh, heading back to my room. I see Abel sitting in the room and I walk in to sit with him.

"Hey bud, you ok?"

I sigh as he wraps himself around me and I try to keep the tears as I hug him back.

"Momma's sick and George isn't nice, Nikki."

I pull back and cup is little face in my hands. "What's wrong with your mom, Abel?"

"I don't know, but she's always sleeping. George drinks a lot of grown up stuff and hurts Thomas. I got hurt the other day for protecting him. Momma doesn't do anything and George says if I tell daddy, he'll hurt momma and Thomas."

I pull him back into me and look up to see Jax leaning against the door and Thomas next to him. I watch my husband pull Thomas into him and hug him as they walk in. Jax sits on the other bed and leans over to touch Abel's knee. "He's not going to hurt you anymore, Abel. I'm getting you out."

He nods and looks up at me. I smile. "We'll do what we can. You may have to help though, can you do that?"

"How?"

I sigh, "Talk to a police man. It's really hard for a good daddy to get his kids out of a dangerous place, but if you help...Thomas too, we can get you out."

Both boys nod and I see Mikayla looking at us. I smile and reach out to her. She runs and climbs next to me, giving Abel a kiss. I look at my husband as he looks at his boys and sigh. We have a long road ahead of us, but we'll get through it...we always do.

I take Mikayla and put her to bed while Jax gets a movie for the boys and tuck her in. I lean over and whisper "I love you" before kissing her forehead. I get to the switch and Jax walks in to do as I just did. When he gets to the door we say "Good night" once again, turning off the light. After shutting the door, Jax takes my hand and leads me to our room. He shuts the door as the kids were basically out as their heads hit the pillow. He comes closer to me and I let him wrap me in his arms, just holding me. I know he needs reassurance and whisper. "You're a good dad, Jax. We'll help them."

"I hope so, baby." He whispered back.

I smile and kiss him softly. "Let's go to bed, we'll bathe in the morning."

He nods and lets me lead him to our bed. We get into our bed clothes and then get under the covers. I pull my husband to me and he puts his head on my chest. I run my fingers through his hair like I do our daughter when she's not well. I smile as I feel him relax under me and know he's finally asleep. I close my eyes and keep my fingers running through his as sleep comes to me too.

And a sequel...I was already debating on it and some of you want one so here it is. Hope you like this one also and if my juices keep where they are, this may end up a trilogy, which I haven't done yet. Please let me know what you think of this first chapter, it'll let me know if I should keep up or not. Till next update-Brianna
