I walk back into the room to find Tommy still soundly asleep on the bed, cuddling his teddy bear Toby close. I smile at the image in front of me. I sit on the edge of the bed and move his hair from his forehead. He looked so peaceful and innocent when he slept; it made me hope that he would also be this innocent and the world wouldn't change him. I'm already worried for him as he has already asked where Daddy has gone. I hate lying to him but to keep him from the dark things in the world, small lies have to be told.
"Hey sis," Jax voices sounds as I turn to the door and see him just walking in. I smile at him before putting my finger to my lips and pointing my head towards my son. He points to the doorway and I look at Tommy again before following him out. "What did you want to speak to me about?" He asks as we head outside of the clubhouse.
"It's about Tommy." I sigh and then walk out of the clubhouse doors and sit on one of the picnic tables; Jax does the same as me. We both lent on our knees with our elbows. "When we left the house, I left some of his medicine behind. He was born with the same heart defect as us and when he wasthree we found out he was asthmatic. He got it off George's side. For three weeks he kept having fits but the doctors put him on his inhalers and some painkillers but in the rush I forgotmost ofthe painkillers." I explainand shake my head when he offers me a cigarette. "I have about three weeks worth. If he doesn't have those painkillers then he will have a fit again and right now I don't have the money to get him any-"
"Hey, calm down." Jax interrupts me and puts a hand on my shoulder. "You've got family here now, we will help you out." He assures me but again I shake my head.
"No, Jax. I can't ask you to do that for me." I tell him as I look at him and sit back up.
"You won't have a choice if I tell Mom." He chuckles and I tilt my head at him and give him a glare.
"You always pull this card on me." Ihit him in the shoulder before he says he has to go back into the clubhouse for a club meeting. I knew how it was, club business is kept between club members. I slap my legs before gettingup and walking back to Jax'sroom to see Tommy sat up rubbing his eyes.
"Mommy?" He calls and the smile that pulls at the corner of my lips make me remember why I love being a mother; especially to my little boy. He may have a few medical issues but he was my special little soldier.
"You ready for your medicine little man?" I ask as I go into one of my bags and pull out his inhaler and his bottle of medicine. He smiles and shows me his little white teeth. I ruffle his hair before giving his medicine and then once he was all set, I took him by the hand led him out of the room and into the clubhouse. I sit him on one of the stools and walk around the bar and look through the fridges to find anything that doesn't contain vodka. Luckily I find a orange juice bottle, I open it up and put it on the side for Tommy and he happily takes it and begins to down it.
"Hey, hey easy. You'll give yourself a bad stomach." I warn him and he ducks his head and gives me his little angry puppy dog eyes. "Alright, but I'm not staying up all night again." I point my finger at him and he smiles at me again.
I look up as the doors to the chapel open and all the men start to pile out and a young prospect joins me behind the counter. He hands out beers to everyone while some of the men look between me and Tommy.
"How's my grandson and daughter?" Clay asks as he comes sits next to Tommy who looks up at Clay with the little wonderment in his eyes whenever he meets someone new.
"Little man needs to learn how to hold his orange juice." I say as I give Tommy the look he always smiles back at me but this time he just jumps down from the bar and runs across the room to one of the guys in a kutte. "Tommy!" I call him but he looks up at the man before tugging on his kutte. I go to move towards my son but Clay stops me. The guys turns around, the first thing I notice about him is the scars on is face and he looks down at Tommy; who raises his arms and shows him his bottle.
"Will you hold this for me, please?" He asks in his little sweet voice as he gives the guy his little puppy eyes.
"Aye, little man." The thick Scottish accent comes from the man as he takes the bottle for Tommy before he ran back over to me.
"Mommy, I made a friend." He tells me with his little smile as he jumps lightly on his toes while looking up at me. I shake my head and pick him as the guy walks over to us.
"Chibs, you remember little Riley don't you?" Clay asks as he gestures his bottle towards me. Chibs looks at me and I tilt my head.
"Ya got to be shitting me. Little Riley?" He takes his sunglasses off and I almost instantly recoginse the Scott's man. "Jesus Christ, when did ya grow up? And have a kid." He asks as he pulls me into a little sidehug which I return with a laugh.
"Since when did you get old?" I throw my own question back at him and he puts a hand on his chest.
"Ah missy ya hurt me." He says and we share a laugh.
"Mommy! That's my friend!" Tommy whines as he steps in front of Chibs. Clay and I laugh at him as Chibs picks him and puts him on his shoulders.
"Aye, this is my wee little friend. Think he should get to be a real man." Chibs says before he walks off with my son on his shoulders. I shake my head as I watch Tommy giggling his little head off as Chibs ran around the clubhouse with him on his shoulders.
"His a handsome little man." Clay says as he nudges my arm and I look up at him and smile.
"Yeah," I sigh and look back at him. "He gets it from his Dad." I grimace a little at the mention of George. Clay puts an arm around my shoulders and gives me a reassuring squeeze.
"Everything will be fine, baby girl. We'll find the bastards that took him from you pair." He promises me and I smile at him before I walk over to where Chibs was finally putting down my son on the pool table.
"Now remember,if ya good for ya ma then I'll let ya have another go around the clubhouse." Chibs promises him as he hands his orange back.
"Yay!" Tommy cheers and I laugh at the pair. Chibs looks at me as he puts his sunglasses on his shirt.
"Hard to believe ya have a kid of ya own now." He says as Tommy sticks his tongue out at Jax who was walking over to Clay. "Wasn't long along ya were about as big as my hip." He laughs and I shove him gently.
"Yeah well I've grown up. Twenty nine and have a five year old. I think I'm doing well, unlike you grandpa." I tease him and he looks shocked at my comment before he taps Tommyon his shoulder.
"Hey little man, ya Mom's being mean to me." Then that led to them both chasing after me in the clubhouse.
Yeah, things were looking slightly up for us now.
Okay, so that's the second chapter and Riley met Chibs again and Tommy has a new best friend. What do you guys think? I am aiming to put Gemma in the next chapter because every girl needs her Mom in their life. But let me know what you think about this chapter, I like to hear your opinions. :D
