Just something I'm trying out.

Enjoy! :D

"Come on Tommy." I pick up my little five-year-old and then put him down once he was out of the car and he holds my hand. We walk around the car and up the familiar lot that I had parked in. "Still the same old shithole." I chuckle to myself as I look around. I look down to Tommy as he holds his teddy bear and then he looks up at me and smiles; I share his joy before we start walking towards the garage. The sounds of power tools meeting with metal rang out as the sound of Harley's pulling into the lot behind us made me aware of someone now pulling up. I feel Tommy hide behind my leg and his grip on my trousers. I look down to him and give him a reassuring smile as I run my hand through his brunette hair; same as his fathers.

I look back up to see that the bikes had been cut off after they were parked and saw two familiar faces from my past and I could feel the nerves build up in me but I knew that coming back here was for the best interest for myself and my son. Still holding Tommy's hand, I walk closer to the men getting off their bikes and shake my head as the blonde idiot of my brother looks over to me.

"Riley?" He asks, a puzzled look coming over his face as he looks at me and his nephew; who he may never have seen before but all for good reasoning.

"In the flesh Jax," I smirk at him and he runs over to me before lifting me in the air, which I make sure to let go of Tommy's hand for a moment so he didn't get swept off the ground as well.

"Jesus Christ," Jax gasps as he puts me down and looks down at me as the same height difference we've had our entire life still remained. "Where you been? Mom's been going nuts over you the past ten years." He tells me and I look down and shake my head before looking back up at him and smiling again.

"I went to college, remember? I got my degree in engineering and I got something even better." I smile as I look down and gently pull Tommy to stand in front of me. He was still shy and held onto his teddy bear with dear life. "Jax, meet your nephew Tommy." I introduce my brother to my son and Jax kneels down to his height as he smiles at him.

"Hey buddy, I'm your uncle Jax." When that doesn't get a response out of Tommy he looks down to his teddy bear.

"That's a really cool teddy bear. What's his name?" He asks and I knew that Tommy would answer because he loved that bear more probably than I loved Tommy.

"Toby." The small, innocent sound of my little boy's voice speaks as Jax stands back up to be back in level with me. That's when I take notice of the others that had suddenly appeared around.

"As I live and breathe, Riley Teller back in Charming." Clay laughs as he walks over to me and pulls me into a hug.

"It's good to see you too Clay," I reply as he pulls away and then looks down to Tommy.

"So when was I going to be told about this?" He looks to me as he gestures to Tommy who was now pulling at the plain white t-shirt I was wearing. I look down to him and he reaches up for me and I give into his little puppy dog eyes and pick him up and rest him on my hip.

"I can explain everything once I've got this little guy in for a nap and he is out of ear's range." I reply and Clay nods his head and then I'm saying hello to everyone and giving hugs to everyone greets me and welcomes me home.

"Come on, you can stay in my room in the clubhouse until you can get yourself a place." Jax offers and I nod my head as Tommy starts to get fussy in my arms and I could tell he was growing tired after refusing to take his nap in the car.

"Once you've settled the little man, come find me and Jax in the chapel baby girl." Clay kisses the top of my head and then heads off towards the clubhouse.

I quickly go back to my car and grab Tommy's bag out of the back seat and his favourite blanket before following Jax into the clubhouse. As I walk through I try to keep Tommy distracted with his teddy bear and blanket to try and at least make him tired so that he will have his nap. Jax opens the door for us and I quickly enter and frown at the mess that is around us.

"Sorry about the mess, haven't had time to clean." He apologises as he picks up a shirt from the floor.

"Don't worry about it. It's better than a motel." I assure him as I put Tommy on the bed and get prepared to put him for his nap.

"I'll be in the clubhouse when you need me." Jax goes to leave but I get and stop him from grabbing his wrist.

"Is it okay if I talk to you after I've explained some things to you and Clay? It's about why I'm back." I sigh as I look back at Tommy. Jax puts a hand on my shoulder and pulls me in for a hug. I couldn't but find myself trying to fight back the tears that were brimming in my eyes. After everything, finally getting this kind of hug from my brother I couldn't hold it in anymore.

Once Tommy was happily asleep, I got up and pulled his blanket over him and pressed a gentle kiss to his temple. I brush his hair from his face and smile down at him. If it weren't for him, I couldn't imagine where I would've ended up. I go to the door of Jax's room and take one more glance back at Tommy before shutting the door and going to find Jax. When I can't seem to find him, I head over to the chapel and see that he was sat in there with Clay.

"Hey." I clear my throat and they both look towards me.

"Hey, come in." Jax says as he gets up and closes the door behind me as I go to take the seat to the left of Clay. I clasp my hands together and lay them on the table as Jax walks around and takes his seat next to me.

"So what brings you back to Charming, baby girl?" Clay asks as he leans back in his chair. I take a sudden deep breath and then look up at the two.

"When I left, I went to college. I wanted to get my degree and then come straight back and help out with the garage. But…" I pause for a moment and feel my chest go numb for a moment. "I met someone. George. He was great and took care of me during college and once I had finished I decided to stay with him and not long after was I pregnant. We were both prepared for it, George had got himself a job in a garage in Florida and I was going to start there once Tommy was born and old enough to go to pre-school." I smile at the memories what was beginning to look like the most in life that I could ever ask for, but it soon disappeared when I remembered why I'm here and not back in Florida back with George. "But, turns out that George's family were in pretty serious debt and because his Dad couldn't pay that off… the loan sharks started coming for us. We almost lost everything. But they just kept coming back. They… they threatened to take Tommy." I had to stop myself as the tears began to build up again from earlier today. Jax had put his arm around my shoulder and had my hand on his own. "One night, George came home but he wasn't alone. They had hired a man with a gun to come to our house and he pointed the gun at Tommy and demanded that if we didn't pay the last of the loan off then he would come back and finish the job." At this point, the floodgates had opened and I was crying. "We paid what we could but they weren't happy with it. The man came back again but George… he made me hide with Tommy… I just remember hearing the gunshot… I waited for a while before coming out. George was nowhere to be seen and I saw blood on the carpet… I took everything I could and left without a second thought. I don't know if they killed him or if they have him somewhere. But I knew that I had to get out of there for the sake of my son's safety. I won't let anyone hurt him." I finished and Jax had pulled me into a hug and I just wept into his chest.

"You and that boy aren't going anywhere. We protect our family and you are family." Clay says as he reaches out to me and I smile at him. Ever since Dad had died, he had stepped up into his boots and took care of Jax and I. I looked at him as a step-father.

"We'll find the bastards that ripped your family apart and make sure they don't come looking for you again." He promises and I feel a sense of relief wash over me. "I think it's time that we told your Mom that you're back." He smiles at me and we all get up. I was excited to see my Mom again and even more excited to introduce her to her new grandson.
