Ariel took one more look around the kitchen, living room and dining room to make sure that everything was okay. After she assured herself that it was she quickly went upstairs to change clothes. Once she picked out an outfit she took a quick shower n then did her make up and hair and was head back down the stairs just as she the first of the motorcycles pulling up. "Daddy and Angelina they're here."

Angelina came down the stairs and looked at her Mom. "Do I look okay Mom?"

Ariel smiled and walked over to the girl she has raised like she was her own. "You look beautiful baby. Are you ready to meet your Dad and the rest of the guys?"

Angelina swallowed but nodded. "I'm ready Mom. I won't have to move out of here will I?"

Ariel shook her head. "Not if you don't want too baby."

Angelina nodded and then looked at John. "Are you ready to see your son Grandpa?"

John grinned and nodded. "Yes, Pumpkin I am but I'm nervous. It's been a lot of years that I let him think I was dead."

Ariel shook her head as she looked at her Dad. "Everything will be fine Dad. I may not know Jax but from what I saw of him at the garage everything will be fine. Don't stress yourself out over this and I mean it."

John smiled and kissed his daughter on the head just as a knock sounded on the door. "Okay Princess I won't. You had better go and answer the door. I'll take Angelina into the kitchen with me to get drinks."

Ariel nodded and took in a deep breath and let it out before she headed towards the door. She hoped that everything would be okay like she thought it would. After making sure that it was Clay and the rest of the Sons at the door she pulled open the door and smiled. "Glad you could make it Uncle Clay. I take it you found the house pretty easy."

Clay chuckled and nodded his head. He stepped forward and kissed Ariel on the head. "Where is your Dad at?"

Ariel chuckled and pointed into the house. "He's in the kitchen with Angelina getting drinks. Before you or any of the others see him or my daughter I want to make a couple things clear."

Clay looked at Ariel and saw the look in her eyes and nodded. "Okay Sweetheart. Why don't you lead us to the living room then?"

Ariel nodded and then turned on her heel as she led Clay, Jax, Opie, Happy, Chibs, Juice, Bobbie, Koz and Tig to the living room. Once she was there she turned around to face the group of guys who were walking into the living room. Oncey they were all in there she looked at them with a hard look. "I'm warning you now there will be no talk of guns or anything like that around my daughter. She's had it rough the last couple of months and she is finally getting better and back to her old self I will not have a single one of you make her backslide. You will keep the cursing down to a minimum around Angelina and you will be respectful of her and my house. If you are not I have no qualms in making whoever is being an ass leave. Do I make myself clear?"

Clay nodded. "You are Sweetheart and if any of the guys get out of line I'll let you deal with them before I do."

Ariel gave a nod and then looked at the group of Sons again. "Now I also will not having you upsetting my Father. He had heart trouble this past year and I will not risk him having a heart attack. If you have something to say to him about what has happened in the past then say it but do not constantly bring up the past. My Dad and Clay did what they did because there was no other way. There hasn't been a day that went by that my Dad hasn't missed Jax or the club but he knew that if he came back that Gemma would have him killed."

Clay nodded. "We already talked about what went down Darlin. Now tell your Pop to come out because we have a lot of catch up to do."

Ariel nodded and then looked at Jax. "Are you ready to see our Dad again for the first time in years? Are you ready to meet your daughter?"

Jax smirked a little and nodded. "I'm more than ready. And don't think I don't want the whole story about my daughter at some point."

Ariel nodded. "We can meet for drinks later this week. After tonight I'm completely booked up until next week."

Jax nodded and then said "Do you mind getting them then?"

Ariel shook her head. "Have a seat boys I'll be right back with John, Ariel and your beers."

After she spoke she made her way towards the kitchen and couldn't help but smile when she saw her daughter and Dad waiting with the beers. "Okay you two can come on out now. I had my little chat with them."

Angelina and John both nodded and John said "How does Jax seem?"

Ariel smiled and shook her head. "He can't wait to see you again and he can't wait to meet Angelina. Clay explained to the guys earlier why you left like you did and why you let everyone think you were dead. I don't think we will have any problems on that score. Now come on lets take the boys their drinks and you guys can visit with them while I make a phone call. I need to make sure that Wayne locked up one of the properties he went to look at today."

John sighed and shook his head. "You work too much Ariel. You really need to loosen up."

Ariel sighed and shook her head. "You know why I work like I do Dad."

John nodded and grabbed five of the beers leaving Ariel to carry the other four plus her own drink. He led the way into the living room. After handing out the beers he had he watched as Ariel handed out the ones she carried before he took in a deep breath and let it out before looking at each of the Sons that was sitting in his living room. "Hello boys."

Jax looked at his Dad and then stood up and took two steps to him and pulled him in for a hug. "Hello Dad it's good to see you."

John smiled and hugged Jax back and said "It's good too see you too Jax. I have missed you so much and I'm sorry."

Jax shook his head as he looked at his Dad. "Nothing to be sorry about Dad. I understand why you did what you did. Plus out of the whole mess I got a sister to look after now."

John chuckled and said "Ariel don't need much looking after, Son."

Jax looked over at Ariel and then at Angelina and he said "You must be Angelina."

Angelina swallowed and then nodded. "Yes, I'm Angelina."

Jax smiled and walked over to her and held out his hand. "I'm Jax and I'm your Father."

Angelina swallowed again and nodded. "You look just like you do in the picture I have of you just a little older."

Jax raised an eyebrow but before he could say anything Ariel said "I'll let you all talk while I go and make a phone call. I'll be back soon."

Jax looked at her and then nodded and watched as Ariel walked away. "Where is she off too?"

Angelina chuckled and said "She had to call someone about one of the properties she owns. She works night and day and doesn't sleep for days on end."

Jax frowned at that. "Why not?"

Angelina looked down at the floor and said "She lost her someone she cared about a couple months ago."

Jax nodded and then said "Well let me introduce you into the other guys."

Angelina nodded and followed Jax over and shook the hands of the guys she was introduced to. When they came to Happy she grinned. "You don't look very happy."

Happy let out a raspy chuckle and said "It's a nickname kid."

Angelina nodded and then sat down by John and listened to the men talk. She couldn't help but smile when she noticed how happy her Grandfather was. She looked over at the man she knew to be her father and when she saw him looking at her she smiled.

She looked up when she heard her Mom coming back down the stairs and she called out "Is everything okay Mom? That is your I'm pissed walk."

Ariel chuckled as she walked into the livingroom. "Everything is fine Princess. I'll deal with it later. For now lets get to the Dining room to eat."

Ariel smiled as she saw that everyone was getting along. She was glad that they were. She watched as the guys, her Dad and Angelina walked towards the dining room and she smiled again but soon the smile was wiped off of her face when she heard tired squealing and two seconds before the first bullets hit the window she yelled "ANGELINA GET DOWN! EVERYONE GET DOWN! NOW!"
