"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!" Jax threw his MC cut at Denise, who put it on to cover herself up. She pulled her pants up fast and looked at the group before her. Tara had grabbed Lila and yanked her away. Because of Lila's yelling and Jax and Tara yelling to calm down and drilling questions, the entire club was on the barn in a matter for moments. Happy and Juice got there first, and saw Lila in the corner, pinned by Tara, Opie fixing his pants, Denise's torn shirt, Jax's cut covering her, and Jax's red face and angry glare.

"Whoa…" Happy said and covered Juice's eyes. Juice threw his hand off as Bobby, Tig, Chibs, Clay, and Gemma ran in.

"I'LL FUCKING KILL HER! I SWEAR! FUCKING WHORE!" Lila screamed and Tig and Clay walked to her.

"Don't push it!" Clay got in her face and stood her up.

"Juice, Happy, take Lila to the clubhouse." Clay demanded and Lila was stood up. Tara followed Lila out, glaring at Denise. Denise cleared her throat and Jax glared at Opie.

"Really… Denise…" Chibs said and Clay put his hand up. Clay moved to Denise and grabbed her arm, yanking her to him.

"You have been back a month! Couldn't you keep your tits in your shirt!?" Clay got in her face and then backhanded her, knocking Denise to the ground.

"Daddy…" Denise held her face and Jax moved to Clay, grabbing his arm.

"No… Leave her.." Jax looked down at Denise as Opie pulled his hair back. Jax moved to him and got in his face.

"Op.. My sister? Again?" Jax shoved him and stormed off.

"Jax!" Denise stood up and Clay shoved her back down.

"COOL OFF! In one hour you get your asses to the clubhouse! You.." He pointed at Opie and Denise. "are going to fix this!" Clay motioned and the rest of the MC walked out.


Denise and Opie stood outside the doors to the clubhouse. Denise's cheek was swollen and already bruising. Opie looked down at her and she looked up at him. Denise's shirt had been replaced with a basic SAMCRO halter top. She had Jax's MC cut on her arm. She didn't look nervous, but Opie did. Denise sighed.

"So.. what happened.. was this a one-time deal? Or-" Denise started to ask, but was cut off.

"I am going to work it out with Lila.. I lost my head, it can never happen again." Opie said and shoved the doors open. They both walked in and Lila charged. Opie stepped in front of Denise and caught Lila in mid-swing.

"Let them fight!" Clay called out. Opie looked over, stunned, and Jax looked at Opie. The entire club stood there.

"Lila wants her turn at Denise, let it happen. They want to fight over Opie, let it be." Clay said simply and Tara looked horrified. Denise looked at Lila as Opie held her arms.

"You're serious? I could kill her…" Denise said and looked at her father, begging him not to let this happen.

"You wanted to fuck her husband, she deserves to fight you." Clay said and the club nodded slightly or fully. Happy and Juice started taking bets.

"It will be a one on one, last lady standing. No jumping in, no weapons, nothing!" Clay looked at Lila and Denise, and stood between them.

"Fine…" Denise cracked her knuckles and Lila stood up, ready to go. Chibs and Tig pushed the tables and chairs away to open the floor up for the fight. Denise stood in place, waiting. Lila looked at Opie and punched him.

"I deserved that…" Opie said, barely affected by the hit. Denise snorted and motioned. Before she could get the words to go at it out, Lila jumped on her. Denise fell back and Lila went for her hair, using her nails to scratch at Denise. Denise grabbed Lila's hair and pulled her off, slamming her fist into Lila's face. Denise yanked and slammed Lila's head into the bar and threw her over.

"Jax.. stop this.." Opie asked. Jax shook his head, looking at Opie.

"Whatever happens to them.. is on you.." Jax said and went back to watching the fight. The club members were hooting and hollering and egging them on. Denise slammed Lila against the bar wall and a few bottles fell and shattered.

"Not the Tequila!" Bobby called out and watched as Denise was kicked in the stomach. Denise grabbed Lila's ankle and spun her, then grabbed her head, slamming it into the bar top again.

"Done yet?" Denise threw Lila across the bar again and jumped up on it. Lila put her hand up and Denise jumped down.

"You can have him.. it's not worth getting this messed up…" Lila said and Denise nodded, walking away.

"Opie.. Did you hear that? Her pretty face is more important than you.." Denise said and moved to Opie. Piney looked at Lila and then grabbed the tequila.

"Seriously? You said you loved him." Piney shook his head at Lila, who managed to stand up.

"Yeah.. well… let's just say she hasn't been completely honest about her love." Denise said and never stopped looking at Opie.

"Is she worth working it out with now?" Denise walked away. Jax and Tara watched her walk, then Tara ran after her.

"Denise.. your bleeding." Tara disappeared out the door and Opie moved to Lila.

"I would have fought for you… And this is what you do for me? Get your stuff and get out of our house… MY HOME!" Opie yelled and then stormed out. Lila looked around, holding her nose. The club members cleared their throats and looked down on her.

"I did love him…" Lila said and ran out, crying. Jax sighed and looked at Clay.

"Well… at least she still has it… Prospects.. Clean!" Clay said and pointed at the prospects and then motioned to the bar.

"Holy shit. Denise can fight…" Juice said and looked at Tig.

"No.. that was a brawl. I have seen Denise bring people to within an inch of their life. She makes Gemma look like Mrs. Beaver." Tig smirked and laughed at his joke. Jax slapped his arm and shook his head.


"You know what you did wrong.." Tara said, wiping the blood from Denise's lip. Denise looked at her let out a deep breath. She nodded and winced as Denise poured peroxide and rubbed her lip. The door was heard and after a moment Opie walked in with Jax.

"Lila's gone. I'll go by the house in an hour, make sure of it. I know Denise was a mistake, but I can't believe Lila gave up to save her face. She was never an old lady." Opie said and Jax sighed.

"Do you still love Denise?" Jax said and sat at the kitchen table. Opie sat next to him and leaned back, running his hand through his hair.

"I don't think I never stopped. Not with Donna, though I loved her with all my heart, not with Lila, I have always had the thought of what we could have been. Donna was the closest I came to getting over Denise, but when she died…." Opie looked at him.

"Maybe you should talk to Denise, instead of just fucking her." Jax said and rubbed his eyes.

"I was going to talk to her. I was going to tell her to leave me and Lila alone, but she pointed out things she knew, things that I knew were wrong. A ton of issues I could not deal with, that Lila never had the guts to tell me. Birth control pills, day after pills, the bitch was lying from the beginning. She never wanted anymore kids, she didn't want what I thought we wanted. She just.." Opie covered his face and let out a deep sigh.

"Jesus, Op. She never told you anything? Why would she lie?" Jax asked and Opie shook his head.

Tara looked at Denise, hearing this conversation and looking at Denise for validation. Denise nodded and Tara shook her head. Denise's eyes started to water and Tara shook her head.

"Don't cry.. The pain is not that bad." Tara whispered and Denise shook her head.

"That's not why. I still love him.. and I never stopped.. I just.." She cried and Tara hugged her.

"Did you hear that?" Jax asked Opie, shot up, pulling out his gun. Jax motioned and moved towards the bathroom. They both circled the bathroom and Opie yanked the door open and Jax and he jumped in, guns pointed.

"What the fuck!" Tara cried out and Denise, jumped up, yanking her own 9mm out. She put it down instantly and looked at the two men.

"Jesus! We thought you were.. How did you beat us here?" Jax said, hiding his gun. Opie put his away and looked at Denise Denise looked up at him and shoved by him, running out of the house.

"Denise!" Jax said and Opie ran after her.

"Jax.. let them go. She still loves him." Tara said, standing up, looking out of the bathroom door.

"He still loves her too." Jax put his hands on Tara's shoulders and breathed deeply.

"Let them talk.." Jax said and started to clean up.

"Or we could listen in.." Tara said and got a guilty smile. Jax looked at her and they both moved for the front door.

"Denise! Wait up!" Opie ran after her and yanked on her arm.

"NO! Your wife basically put her face and her porn fucking career ahead of you and you still want her! You can have her! I don't want to have to deal with this! You get your way. I am leaving. I can work from LA's satellite and never be seen again!" Denise looked at him and kept walking, ending up at the end of the driveway.

"You don't have to! Denise I-" Opie ran after her and a van pulled up. Denise turned to Opie and two masked guys jumped out of the van and grabbed her.

"STOP! JAX!" Opie called out and pulled is gun. Another guy jumped out of the van and slammed Opie with a bat, knocking him out. They grabbed him and Denise screamed, then getting hit herself.

"OP!?" Jax yelled and saw the van take off.

"What happened?" Tara ran out too and saw Jax running down the driveway.

"Call the club! Someone just took Opie and Denise!" Jax looked at Tara as he ran to his bike and jumped on.
