Clay sighed and put his phone away. He didn't want to rush this run but he wasn't going to keep Chibs from his family. He walked back over to the niners. "Sorry about that boys just some important family business. So, you think we got a deal." they continued to check over the guns when they were content the paid Clay, loaded the guns and left.
"Alright guys i know you wanted to relax but we need to get back to the clubhouse." the guys were confused and a little on edge. Gemma knew not to call on a run unless it was urgent. Clay wasn't gonna say why until they got there. He didn't know how chibs was gonna react. "Gem just wanted us home for dinner. I guess she made us a huge meal." the boys cheered they could definitely go for a home cooked meal right now. They only had to drive about an hour to get back so they had to move.
Sophia was awaken by the rumbling of motorcycles. She felt slightly sick with nerves. What if he didn't want her here? Or didn't want anything to do with her? She was pulled out of her thoughts when Gemma walked into the room. "Come on baby they're home. He's gonna be happy to see you." Gemma wrapped her arm around her shoulder as they walked outside. Clay walked over, hugged and kissed Gem.
"Chibs get over here!" the boys ooohed as Gem called him over. He flipped them off as he walked over. He saw Sophia standing their and looked at Clay and Gemma. That couldn't be who he thinks it is. "What's going on?" Gemma whispered in Soph's ear telling her that it was ok. She looked up and the second Chibs saw her face he knew exactly who she was. "Sophie?!" with tears in her eyes she nodded. He pulled her into a tight hug fighting his own tears. He had missed his family more than anything and was more than happy seeing her here.
But that happiness was soon replaced with worry. Last time he had seen her she didn't have those scars and was not allowed anywhere near him. "Lassie what are you doing here? Where is Fe and Kari? Are they here with you?" she shook her head and explained that they were still with Jimmy. If they were still with him then how did she get away? "The guys at SAMBEL helped me get away. I was beaten daily because i didn't listen. They told me where i could find you." he hugged her again. That bastard had put his hands on his daughter.
"I set her up in your old dorm. I figured tomorrow you can figure out sleeping arrangements. Maybe cook up a big meal. If she wants to help she can." Chibs nodded and told himself that he had to thank the guys in SAMBEL for getting his daughter here. He looked her over and took note of all the differences. She had scars littering her body and the same scars on her cheeks. She wasn't the same girl he knew. She didn't have that shine in her eyes. When she was younger she was the most obnoxious and carefree kid he had ever seen.
Soph muffled a yawn. Mixed between the lack of sleep the past few days and jet lag she was still exhausted. Chibs wrapped an arm around her and led her up to her room. "You need to get some rest Soph. we'll catch up when you are able to keep your eyes open." she laid down and yawned. "I'm sorry i showed up without telling you." Chibs just shook his head. He didn't care about that all he cares about is that she's safe.
"Don't worry about that. Do you want me to leave?" she shook her head and told him to stay. He sat next to her as she closed her eyes. He ran his fingers through her hair as she fell asleep. Chibs was afraid this was some sick dream. All he's been thinking about lately is his family. But to see one of his daughters in this shape made him worry about his other girls. Someone lightly knocked on the door and slowly walked in. "how she doing?" Clay leaned up against the wall looking at the pair.
"Poor girl is exhausted. I can only imagine the last time she got some rest." he could see the bags clear on her face. He let chibs know that he can take some time to take care of his family. He thanked him and laid next to her so if he fell asleep at least he would be comfortable.
