Tania was sitting in the office of the Teller-Morrow automotive shop, waiting for her family to get back. Her cousin Jax, her husband Opie and Chibs and Tig were getting released from Stockton prison and she couldn't wait to see them.

Tara, Jax's fiancé, was pacing the floor, impatiently waiting for them to get back as well.

"Can you stop that Tara?" Tania asked, watching her move from one side of the room to the other, "You're making me nervous."

Tara stopped and looked over at Tania. "Sorry," she replied, smiling at her, "I just can't wait to see Jax. I'm assuming you are just as excited to see Ope."

"Ope and I have been having a difficult time Tara," Tania explained, "Ever since our miscarriage a few months ago, we have just grown distant. But yes, I am excited to see him. I'm hoping that we can start out fresh. A clean slate."

"I didn't realize things had been difficult," Tara replied, sitting down beside her on the couch, "You two hide it pretty well when you are with us."

"It's different behind closed doors," Tania mumbled, "I think he blames me somehow for the miscarriage and I don't think he likes it very much that Chibs and I have grown closer in the last month or so."

"The miscarriage wasn't your fault. That was beyond your control," Tara exclaimed, "and as for Chibs, he has been around since you were 14. That's a different kind of relationship and Opie shouldn't be bothered by that."

Tania agreed with Tara about that and it bothered her that just a day before Opie went in to Stockton, he had stated that he wasn't sure if he should be jealous of her relationship with Chibs or not. They hadn't ended things on a good note and she partly suspected that he had done something on purpose so he could go to Stockton with Jax, Chibs and Tig, just to get away from the situation. It was a ridiculous thought, but it was a thought that she couldn't shake. She had every intention of making things right with Ope when he got home.

Both Tania's and Tara's heads perked up when they heard the beautiful sound of a bunch of Harley's pulling into the parking lot of Teller-Morrow. They ran outside and watched as they all paraded in.

Gemma walked up to them with a smile on her face. "You girls excited to have your boys back?" Gemma asked. They both nodded their heads in unison.

"Where's Opie?" Tania asked quietly, looking over at the guys. All the guys were there, but Opie was missing. Her heart sank, something didn't feel right.

Tania watched as Tara ran and jumped into Jax's arms and he swung her around. It was a beautiful sight, but he looked sad and a little pissed off. Tania watched as Jax pulled Tara over to the side and he said something to her quietly, her hand went up to her mouth. That couldn't be good, Tania thought. She quickly looked around at everyone else and noticed that no one looked happy, no one was celebrating like they typically would when someone got released from jail.

Chibs slowly approached her and grabbed one of her hands in his.

"Chibs, what's going on?" Tania asked quietly, "Where's Ope?"

She could see the tears form in his eyes and he was unable to say anything. He was overcome with emotion as he pulled her into his arms. She wrapped her arms around him, but she was confused and no one was telling her anything.

"Tania," she heard Jax say as he approached them, "We need to talk."

"Jax," she whispered, still holding Chibs' hand and now reaching out her other hand for Jax's, "Where's my husband?"

"There was a situation in Stockton Tania," Jax replied, "We had no control. Opie volunteered...Ope was beaten to death."

Everything around her became a blur and her legs gave out. Chibs reached out and caught her and sank to the ground with her. Jax fell on his knees in front of her and he cried. Tania could feel the sobs take over her body, she no longer had control over her emotions. She pressed her face against Chibs' chest and she cried until she couldn't breath. She began to hyperventilate as she tried to catch her breath.

"Chibs, take her into the clubhouse," Gemma said, taking control of the situation, "Get her inside."

Chibs stood up and lifted Tania in his arms and carried her into the clubhouse. She had her arms wrapped around his neck as she still struggled to catch her breath. Chibs took her down the hall to the dorm room that Opie had been staying in the last couple months and laid her down on the bed.

Tania curled up in a ball and continued to cry silently. Chibs felt helpless.

"I've got it from here baby," Gemma said to Chibs quietly, "Thank you."

"You're welcome love," Chibs said, "Let us know if we can do anything else."

She nodded at him and then closed the door. She left the light off and went and sat down on the bed beside her niece. She didn't say anything to Tania, but just sat there and ran her hand through her hair, trying to soothe her.

Tania's heart was broken and she could feel the earth closing in on her, making it so she couldn't breath. She couldn't see her life without him in it. Her and Opie had been together for 20 years, since she was 15. He was her sweetheart and the only one that really truly understood her, and now he was gone. What was she going to tell her kids. How was she going to tell her six year old and her 8 year old that their daddy had gone to heaven?
