I took Eve into the house and purposely sat her in my mom's lap so she didn't even attempt to get up and help. Eve snuggled into her grandma's shoulder and watched the young and the restless. I walked back out to the car and started grabbing groceries and took them into the house. I've grown a lot in the last three and a half years. I bartend and waitress back home. I'm also back in school, trying to better myself so I can be the kind of mom Eve deserves. I sighed. I've came a long way from being Jax Teller's old lady that's for sure. We had met purely by accident.

I was coming home from my cousin Stacy's birthday party in Lodi, when my car had decided to take a major shit. I lifted the hood and tried to see if the problem was minor, like me forgetting to put water in it, but from the look of all the smoke It was definately not going to be a simple fix. I kicked the tire and sat in my driver's seat. I seen an older pick up truck coming down the road so I hopped out of the car jumping up and down. The truck pulled over and I walked over to it. The guy driving rolled down his window. He was a pretty big guy, I really couldn't get a guess on height with him sitting down but I'd guess 5'11", his beard was a reddish brown color and he had on a black beanie. His eyes were a beautiful shade of brown, almost like milk chocolate.

"Car troubles?" I didn't even notice he had some one else in the car with him so I must have been gaping like an idiot. The passenger had medium length blonde hair, barely grazing his shoulder. I also noticed the black hoodie that read 'SAMCRO' .

"Yeah I was just leaving my cousin Stacy's house and the piece of shit broke down." I said looking back at my car and definately not at the gorgeous blonde who asked the question. The beanie guy got out of the car and I was sure my mouth hung open. Remember what I said about 5'11"? Well I was definately wrong. This dude was at least 6'4". The blonde laughed.

"I think you scared her Ope," the one called 'Ope' turned and stared at me and I snapped out of it.

"I'm sorry I just didn't realize you were so..." I swallowed hard.

"Big? Yeah it happens. I'm going to check under your hood but I'm thinking we may have to tow it back to TM." I nodded not even sure what or where in the hell he was talking about. The blonde walked over to the car with him and I felt awkward just standing in the middle of the road but I stayed there any way. It was only a few short minutes until blondie came back. He had mustache growing in but it was really only noticable when the light hit it and that was the same with the hair on his jaw line. His eyes just sparkled such a clear blue. He snapped his fingers in front of my face and I realized I had been caught staring, I blushed.

"Sorry," I said looking at the ground. He took his hand and lifted up my chin, making me look at him.

"Hey there's nothin wrong with starin'. It's a compliment. Now back to your car, it looks like you've managed to blow the head gasket. It could get pretty expensive. You're going to catch a ride with us back to TM, then someone will tow your car to the shop. And just so when you call your cousin about the hot mechanics, I'm Jax and that's Opie." I didn't think it was possible for my face to get any redder, but I was wrong. I caught Opie rolling his eyes and it caused me to laugh.

I got into the truck and sat in the middle of the two. I kept drawing circles on my knees to keep myself distracted. Opie reached in front of me, his arm grazing my leg, to turn up the radio. I tried to scoot over to my right and Jax mirrored Opie's movement, only he changed the station. He had a smile on his face and I figured he did it on purpose.

"Seriously,its not cool picking on me. My car spazzing out on me is all I can take today." Jax smiled in my direction and my heart sped up.

We conversated the whole way to TM- which turned out to be Teller-Morrow mehanic shop. I don't feel like a complete idiot now. Jax got out of the car and I followed him.

"You can have a seat over there darlin'. We're going to talk to someone about picking up your car." He motioned to the picnic tables across the parking lot. I nodded and walked over and sat down. It didn't take long for the blonde haired wonder to come and sit across from me. We talked and talked until a group of guys motioned for him to come on.

"Its time for church Jacky boy," he nodded and stood up. He looked down at me.

"I'm sorry but I gotta go. Here's my number call me some time." I smiled as he grabbed my hand and pulled out a pen and scribbled on it. I looked up at him and he winked.

"I never took you for the type to go to church." He chuckled and started to jog toward where ever the other guys went.

I was thrown back into the present, and I was standing by the trunk of my car, I had the bag with the roast in my hand. Things had been so good then. That was before things with Tara, hell that's before I even knew who she was. I finished grabbing my groceries and headed inside. I replayed my visit with Gemma in my head. I couldn't believe she called me a biker whore. I'd never even looked at a biker before Jax. I wonder what she was thinking when she saw Evelyn. I guess I would never know. I quickly put the groceries that I wasn't using for dinner away and seasoned the steaks. I grabbed the skillet from the strainer and threw the steaks in. I started peeling potatoes

I started to get lost in my own thoughts. I heard the tiny pitter patter of feet and I looked up and saw my daughter trying to 'hide' behind a kitchen chair. I shook my head smiling. There's no way he couldn't love her. I put the potatoes on to boil and then I walked into the living room. Mom was looking at me like she knew something was up but I shook my head and held up my hand.

"Later mom," she nodded, understanding that I didn't want to talk about it in front of Eve. I got up and went and flipped the steaks. I heard the phone ring, causing me to jerk it was so loud. I heard mom pick up the phone.

"What do you want?" I heard her say, no hello or anything. "And what's that supposed to mean? I missed out three years with my daughter and this precious angel because of YOUR SON'S stupidity." She drew out 'your son'. My hear flew up to my throat. Gemma was on the phone and the last thing I wanted was for them to argue. At one point and time my mom and Gemma had became really good friends and yeah that took a shit quick after Jax dumped me.

"She is somethin Gem, I understand you want to know her but that's entirely up to Candy." I walked into the living room and towards mom's chair and held out my hand.

"She wants to talk to you." I took the phone from her.

"Look I will let you see my daughter on two conditions," I said as I walked out of the room and into the kitchen away from Eve's little ears. I also flipped the steaks while I was in there. They were close to being done so I hovered around the stove.

"Do not bombard me with Jax, I don't want for you to set up a meeting so he can meet her we're both grown adults he can call me; and two I have to be there. Right now you're a stranger and I have to be there the first few times so she gets comfortable." I flipped the steaks one last time, waiting on her response.

"Jax and the guys are doing a run up to Eden tomorrow, so the clubhouse is free." I nodded into the phone. She better not be setting me up.

"You better not be fucking with me Gemma, you're the one that will be losing out." I heard her laugh.

" Honey I'm trying to keep what little family I do have left. I'll see you tomorrow around 1. I'll make lunch." She hung up the phone and I turned off my steaks. My stomach started flipping. Jax was on a run so I wouldn't have to deal with him being there but I would have to deal with him eventually. He at least needs to know he has a daughter. I looked down at the crow that took up more of my left boob's clevage. I could have been more if he would have given me a chance.
