Anyway, here is the next chapter! It's a little shorter then usual, but oh well, who cares?

Chapter four

It was three hours later when they arrived back at the Teller-Morrow garage. It was well past five pm and Stephanie's stomach decided to make itself noticeable by grumbling worse than an angry grizzly bear.

"You're hungry," It wasn't a question that Jax asked, it was more of an I-state-the-obvious.

"No kidding, I haven't eaten since breakfast yesterday" Stephanie answered him.

"Come on, you staying with me anyway, get your shit and we'll go to my place, see what's in my fridge," Jax told her.

"I'm staying with you? When was that decided? How drunk was I?" Stephanie asked, knowing very well she hadn't had alcohol in over a week.

"Don't be annoying, go get your bag," Jax just said.

Jax watched how the young woman disappeared to the dorms. Well he wasn't really looking at the woman, more the ass that went with her.

"That's one nice piece of ass," Tig mentioned when he came to stand next to him.

"That it is," Jax said appreciating the view.

"You gonna hit that?" he asked, chewing on a piece of gum.

"Are you crazy? She's my best friend," Jax told him.

"Friendship is the best base of a relationship," Tig said wisely, and to Jax amusement, totally serious.

"Thanks Dr Phil, I'll remember that."

"Let's go, I'm starving," Stephanie had arrived back, with her duffel bag strapped across her shoulder.

Jax started to walk to his Harley, laughing, was Tig seriously just offering him advise on his love-life?

"Later Tigger!" Stephanie yelled and she followed Jax back to his bike.

"Jesus Christ, do you ever go grocery shopping?" Stephanie was getting irritable after only finding a jar of pickles, one box of cookies and a massive amount of beer.

"Usually mom does," Jax admitted and Stephanie almost laughed out loud.

"Jax, you are thirty years old," Stephanie mentioned and Jax shrugged.

"So?"

"Grown up men do not need mommy to do their grocery shopping," she told him.

She walked over to the living room were she had thrown her leather jacket and took it back off the couch.

"Where are you going?" Jax asked and Stephanie raised her eyebrows.

"To Siberia. Where do you think I'm going?" she asked and Jax shrugged, how was he supposed to know?

"WE are going to the grocery store, I'm gonna teach you to shop," Stephanie told him and Jax groaned.

"Can't we just order pizza?"

"You do realise you were born with a heart defect, right? To much fastfood is gonna kill you," Stephanie said seriously. Jax sighed but took his keys and went along with her to the outside.

It took them four minutes to reach the store, God she loved Charming, everything was so close by, if you took five left turns, you ended back up were you started.

Stephanie took a shopping cart and pushed it to Jax who look at it weirdly.

"This, my friend, is a shopping cart, it is used to put stuff in so you don't have to carry it all," Stephanie said, in a voice she would use when she was teaching her six year old sister something.

"Seriously? That's brilliant," Jax said sarcastically.

"I know, right!" Stephanie was being very bubbly and happy right now.

"Now you want to buy normal food first, then the frozen shit, or else you'll stuff will melt before you hit the exit," Stephanie told him.

Stephanie threw a lot of stuff in the cart and Jax had to admit that while he hated shopping, this was pretty fun. Watching her so…carefree. She had been a little withdrawn the whole day and figured it had to do with her sister's kidnapping, he guessed that was normal though.

"Oh, chicken nuggets!" Stephanie yelped excided and Jax laughed at her childlike attitude.

"What are you? Five?" he asked and Stephanie stuck out her tongue.

"Don't stick that out unless you planning on using it" Jax warned her and Stephanie suddenly blushed, was he flirting with her? She wasn't really used to that and didn't know how to handle it. Tig, she could handle, Jax, not so much.

"Come on, lets go pay for this shit," Jax said, smiling at the cute little blush on his best friends cheeks.

She could deal with Juice's an Chibs' flirting, hell, she could even deal with Tig's perving, but a few words from him and she was going red, what was that about? Did she like him? Did he want her to like him? Why was he thinking this shit? He was not a girl!

Going back on the bike was a tad bit difficult with six bags, but eventually they made it work…somewhat.

"I cannot believe you dropped a bag while driving the bike, we had to stop and pick up everything off the street! You're so lucky I was the one with the glass jars," Stephanie told him when she stormed back into Jax' house.

"Well, you try balancing three bags full of shit while driving a motorcycle," Jax yelled, since Stephanie was already in the kitchen.

They were laughing loudly while putting everything they bought in the right cabinet and keeping the things Stephanie wanted to make for dinner apart.

"Anything I can do to help?" Jax asked, being the nice person he was.

"Yeah, put you ass in the couch, and leave me alone," Stephanie told him.

"Fine, and here I thought I was being nice" Jax huffed playfully.

"Oh please, you could set the kitchen on fire while trying to boil an egg," Stephanie went over to the sink to wash her hands.

"That was one time!" Jax yelled offended.

"Not to mention the microwave you managed to explode, Sorry Jax, I trust you with my life, but not with anything in the kitchen," Stephanie told him.

"Fine," Jax said and he took a beer out of the fridge. He went behind her and kissed her cheek and then made his way to the living room.

While Jax was watching the news, Stephanie started chopping up vegetables for the spaghetti-sauce she would be making. It was all very…domestic, Stephanie noticed, she kinda liked it…

"Dinner's up!" Stephanie yelled while putting the pan with sauce on the table.

Three seconds later Jax was in the kitchen, obviously very hungry.

"Looks great!" he said smiling while sitting down.

"God damn, I forgot how good this shit was" Jax told her when he took his first bite.

Stephanie smiled, Jax used to love her spaghetti when they were younger. She remembered a time he asked her to make it three weeks, every evening again until one night she was sick and tired of making it and she made something else.

They were silent during their meal, every once in a while Jax moaned in delight after having another bite and Stephanie just smiled but for the most part, they just enjoyed each others company and the food.

Until Jax' cell phone rung, anyway.

"Yeah," Jax answered his phone.

"Okay, just give us ten minutes to finish dinner," Jax said and then hung up.

Stephanie didn't ask anything, just looked at her best friend with a certain look on her face.

"Juice needs us at the clubhouse, said he has news," Stephanie's stomach turned a little and food was the last thing on her mind right now.

"Is it about Nathan? Or Abby?" she asked but Jax shrugged.

"Didn't say, We'll know soon enough, come on, I'm not hungry anymore," Jax said and got up from his chair.

Stephanie followed him and silently put her jacket back on.

They were at the clubhouse soon enough and Jax and Stephanie just ignored everyone and walked straight into the chapel were Juice and Clay were talking.

"Hey guys," Juice greeted them.

"Did you found something?" Stephanie asked…

Yeah, did he? Find out next time in "Family, love and asskickin'" Hope you enjoyed the chapter! Please review and let me know what you think.

love yous!!!
