Gemma Teller slammed down another plate in front of her husband Clay and daughter Hadley. It was eight o'clock in the morning, and it was way too early for all this noise. "Mom, I said I was sorry for not calling." Gemma slammed down an orange juice in front of Clay. Hadley winced, but continued "and I'm sorry for not coming home for a over a year." Gemma sat down pretending to ignore everything except for the toast she was breaking up for her pet cockatoo. "But most of all. I'm sorry that you were not the first person I saw when I got into Charming."
Clay looked back and fourth between the two women, happy that for once it wasn't Hadley and him going head to head. "I have an idea. Gemma why don't you go to hospital and sit with Abel, he needs his grandma. And Hadley how about you come with me to the shop. You can do the phones and paper work." Gemma soften at the thought of her grandson Abel. Giving Clay a smile she let him know that was okay.
Hadley mouthed the word thanks to Clay for her appreciation for calming down her mother. "That's a great idea. I needed to go back to the Shop to pick up my jeep anyway.
They finished their breakfast in silence, before leaving Hadley went into the kitchen to say bye to Gemma. "Mommy please don't be mad at me. Can we please go out to eat tonight? Just the two of us."
Gemma resisted the urge to hug her baby, give her a kiss on the cheek, and tell Hadley that she loved her. She stayed strong wanting to give out some tough love. "Okay baby. Around 5 at the Bistro in the mall." Hadley reached out and squeezed her moms hand. She watched the pair leave while lighting a cigarette and mumbling to herself how Hadley was way too much like her.
It took Hadley all morning just trying to get the office organized. Who ever was in charge of paperwork while Gemma was gone had no idea what they were doing. Right before lunch the prospect Kip came in, it surprised her how excited she was to see him. She scolded herself, she didn't even know this guy and he wanted to be in the SONS. Hadley just couldn't help it, he was just so cute and awkward. He knocked on the office door, even though it was wide open for customers coming and going. Than he wouldn't even come in until she invited him inside. "Hey Kip. Having a good day so far?"
Half-Sack watched Jax's little sister fidget with her dress trying to pull it past her knees. She was so cute and so unavailable. A part of him thought it was no big deal he could think a girl was attractive. A bigger part thought about how he was lucky to have one ball and why risk it. He knew if any of his future brothers found out he was checking out Hadley they would rip his cut right off and cut off his ball and maybe even his dick too. Before he knew it his mouth was opening "Think run later, but for you." Kip stood up straighter. He was just being friendly and there was nothing wrong with that. "I meant I might be going on a run later with Juice, Chibs and your brother. So I wanted to give this to you now." He handed her an Ice tea and a candy bar from the vending machine. "I heard it was your first day back working here in a long time. Thought you could use a pick me up."
"Thank you so much. I forget how crazy this place could be. I really needed this." Hadley was about to give him a one arm hug but jump back when she saw Jax in the corner of her eye. She did not want to get Kip into any shit.
"That is just so sweet grunt. But maybe you should finish up your work in the shop. Were leaving in twenty minutes. Oh and bring a shovel with you." Half-Sack turned around and left without another word.
"You can be such an asshole Jax. I hope you know that." Hadley sat on the desk while he took the chair directly in front of her.
"He is a prospect. I'm supposed to be an ass. Anyway he was in here for no reason, just to suck up to the vice president's sister."
Hadley rolled her eyes and let out a dramatic sigh. "Is their a reason you're here right now?"
"Yeah, I wanted to say how much I missed you and that I'm glad your home." He learned over and kissed her temple. "Love you Haydes."
"I love you too Jaxs. But I can tell you have something on your mind."
"Just found some of Dad's old shit. Just got me thinking about him."
Hadley moved off the desk and sat into the chair Jax. "I miss him every day."
"I was reading some old journal entries. Got me thinking if he wanted the club to turn out like how it is. He sounded like a hippie and now where running guns."
"Who knows what he was thinking half the time. With Thomas and you he was teaching you about bikes before you could ride a two wheeler. Than we would go up to Piney's cabin and they would spend all door outside talking about the good old days. The next day he would go back to the club and we could hear him yelling at Clay from the back room. He talked to every single person in a different way."
Jax smiled thinking about how complex of a man there Dad was. "Maybe he had multiple personality disorder." The siblings laughed together, than sat in silence thinking about all of their memories growing up as Tellers. Yes it would loud and sometimes crazy, but they were always loved. Dad always made sure to be in the front row Hadley play opening night no matter what. Jax stood up. "I've got some club stuff to do. See you later."
