Wow thanks for all the reviews for the last chapter. I didn't think I'd get that many even if they were just to vote for a name. Anyway authors note and poll results so far at the bottom of the chapter. Make sure to read the authors note.

Also so you know and don't get confused, the italics are someone else's third person POV and the normal font is Dallas' POV.


Chapter 07

He watched as she said something to the man he learned was her brother, hurt evident on her face. His eyes followed her as she walked away wiping at the bottom of her eyes. He pulled his camera up to his eye and started snapping photos of her form as it retreated down the street. He turned the camera's lens towards the automotive shop and clubhouse and started snapping a few photos of the buildings and the people. By the end of the day he was hoping to know who everyone in that lot is.


I walked into the diner as my cravings for strawberry cheesecake and chocolate milkshakes started to set in. I came here almost every day to get one or the other, sometimes both. if I couldn't come and get it myself, Opie, Donna, dad and sometimes Jax got it for me.

I sat at a table near the window, ordering two slices of cheesecake and a chocolate milkshake with the waitress that came over to take my order.

When she walked away I looked out the window at nothing in particular as I thought about what just happened.

Opie's accusation hurt. He knew me better than anyone, even our parents. I knew telling Opie what happened would clear everything up but I couldn't bring myself to tell him or dad. He was right about one thing. I was ashamed I didn't know who the father was. I was even more ashamed about what happened and it was stopping me from telling them about it. I still didn't know why I was able to tell Jax.

I heard someone clear their throat, interrupting me from my thoughts. I looked at the person to see it was Samantha. She and I had become fast friends in the last two weeks. She worked here as a waitress and always took my orders when she worked.

She gave me a small friendly smile as she sat down across from me. I guess it was her day off because she wasn't wearing her uniform. "No work today?"

"Not today, thank god. We're short staffed, so I've worked three twelve hour shifts and one twenty-four hour one. I'm exhausted." She said letting out an exasperated sigh. "I just had to come pick up my pay check."

"They should've hired me when I applied for the job."

"Why didn't they?" she asked. She knew I had applied for a waitress job, I'd met her on the day I had the job interview. When she asked if I had the job all I told her was that I didn't get it. I never told her why.

"Because I'm pregnant."

"Are you serious?" She asked. Her face was a mixture of shock and disgust. "That's why they didn't give you the job?"

"Would you hire someone who will need to take leave in a few months after starting work?"

"Of course I would! Especially if the need money to support their child" she said. "Do you want me to try talk to my boss?"

"No, I was offered a job but thanks." I said giving her a small smile to show her I was grateful for her offer.

"Who offered you a job?" She asked.

The waitress came back with my order before I could answer Samantha. She placed the cheesecake and milkshake in front of me before walking over to another table.

"She's a bit up herself, isn't she?" I asked looking at Samantha before breaking off a chunk of cheesecake to eat.

"She's one of the new girls." I didn't miss the slight roll of her eyes. "Mommy and daddy cut off her allowance so she had to get a job. Should teach the spoiled bitch a thing or two about working for money." She scoffed as her eyes creased into a frown

I let out a slight chuckle. "I'm guessing you don't like her?"

"You guessed right. I had to train the brat, and I did try, I really tried to have patience with her but she drove me crazy." she said making me let out a proper laugh.

"We all have that one person we can't stand."

"That is true." she sighed. "So back to what we were talking about, who offered you a job?"

"The Queen of Charming."

"Gemma offered you a job?" She didn't sound too surprised.

I nodded shoveling another forkful of cheesecake into my mouth, eating and swallowing it before answering her. "I told her I wasn't getting anywhere looking for a job and she offered me one. It's just helping in the TM office and running a few errands."

"That's great." She smiled. "Now you'll get to see Jax more." she teased. She'd seen Jax come in with me or for me a few times.

I rolled my eyes. "Nothing is going on between Jax and I."

"Not yet anyway." She smirked.

"We're just friends." I sighed.

"For now." she said still smirking. "Just admit you find him as attractive as us ladies who can only stare from a distance do."

I let out a loud and very unladylike snort. "You'd have to be blind to not see how attractive he is."

"So what's stopping you two?"

"Like I said we're friends. Nothing will happen between us." I sighed again wishing she'd give up on the idea of me and Jax being together. Crush or no crush I already knew him and I weren't going to happen. "Plus why would he want to be with someone who's going to have a baby? And a baby that's not even his."

"You never know, he might make an exception for you."

"I don't think he would. We're ju-"

"Just friends." she said interrupting me. "I get it but having a baby shouldn't stop you two from starting something if you both wanted to."

I rolled my eyes as she glanced out the window before looking at her watch. I was about to say something when she cut me off again.

"I have to go pick up my kid from daycare and take her for her routine check up appointment." She said as she stood up and slung her handbag over her shoulder.

She'd been a solo mom since her husband died in a car accident. She had two kids, a son who was eight and her daughter who was almost five. "And I'm pretty sure he's here to see you."

Her gaze went back to outside. I looked out the window catching a glimpse of familiar blonde hair. I sighed. "I have no doubt about that."

"Well have fun, I'll call or text you later."

"Okay." I said looking back at her giving her a small smile. She returned the smile before leaving the diner.


He frowned seeing the familiar blond that just walked into the diner. He didn't like him already, especially with the attention he gave her. He was starting to wonder if there was something going on between the two and he just hadn't gotten enough proof to prove it yet. He picked up his camera and started snapping photos of the two as the blonde sat across from her stealing some of her cheesecake with a wide grin that made him want to shoot the blond square in the forehead. He'd never thought of any guy in LA as a big threat but now she was in Charming, Jackson Teller was becoming that threat. And cutting her fuel line had become a big mistake when Jackson had come to her rescue before he could. He shouldn't have waited those few minutes and she should have known Jackson was on tow truck duty if he'd done his research properly.


"Hey! Get your own!" I scolded Jax as he sat down across from me, stealing a piece from my cheesecake.

"I don't want my own." He threw me an innocent smile as he tried to take some more. I smacked his hand away but he tried again.

"Aren't you meant to be at work and not playing damage control between me and Ope?" I asked him letting him have the last little bit of cheesecake. I started drinking my milkshake, keeping it away from him so he couldn't steal that from me, as well.

"I'm not here to play damage control." he said after eating the last bit of cheesecake. "Mom wants something to eat and since I wasn't really doing anything, she made me come here to get her a burger. I didn't even know you were here until I walked in."

I laughed. "You're such a Momma's boy."

"Why? Because I'm getting her a burger?"

"No, because you just are." I smiled, teasing him slightly. "Just don't let her take advantage of it, you know how she gets."

"Your kid could turn out to be a momma's boy or girl."

"So they should be, I'll be the only parent they'll have." I pointed out.

"Not if you find someone to settle down with."

"I don't want to burden someone with a kid that's not theirs." I sighed.

"When you find the right guy he wouldn't look at your kid as a burden, he'd love it like he or she is his own child." He said making my heart flutter. Somewhere deep down I was beginning to hope it would be someone like him. "You're a great woman and this kid will no doubt be an awesome kid, any guy would be lucky to have you both."

"Can we move off from me and finding the right guy?" I asked. "I'm a little put off guys right now."

He was about to speak when my waitress from earlier came back over interrupting us and throwing a flirty look at Jax.

"Is there anything that I can get you, handsome?" she asked with a sickly sweet tone. I rolled my eyes as he flashed her one of his panty-dropping smiles.

"I'll take two cheeseburgers to go," he told her then looked at me. My eyebrows creased into a small frown.

"Anything else?" the waitress asked.

He smiled at me not taking his eyes off me as he replied to the waitress. "Yeah, I'll have two pieces of cheesecake and a chocolate milkshake to go also."

"Okay," she said, her smile fading and her sickly sweet voice dropped as she turned to me. "Is there anything else I can get you?"

"Just the bill, thank you." I said plastering on a fake smile.

"I'll bring your order over when it's done." She said turning back on the charm when she looked back at Jax. She turned on her heel and walked away with an extra swing to her hips.

"Seriously, I can't take you anywhere without some trashy tramp hitting on you!" I frowned turning my attention back to him. He just laughed. I rolled my eyes again. "By the way, she's jail bait and she's only working here because rich mommy and daddy cut off her allowance."

"And who said I was going to go there?" he asked raising an eyebrow. I could tell he was amused by my outburst when that stupid smirk of his crossed his face.

"You sound a little jealous."

I scoffed. "I'm not jealous."

"Only jealous people scoff like that." He said still smirking. I knew he was trying to push my buttons.

"I'm not jealous!" I glared at him. "Why would I be jealous?"

He shrugged. "You tell me."

"There's nothing to tell."

"If you say so."

Our banter didn't stop until Jax's order was placed in front of him and we were handed our bills. I paid for mine while he paid for his. After he left a nice tip for the waitress, we walked out of the building. He handed me the milkshake and pieces of cheesecake telling me they were for me.

"Do you want to come back to the clubhouse?" He asked as we walked over to the tow truck.

"I might as well." I nodded and walked over to the passenger's side of the truck and got in. He got in and turned on the ignition before pulling away from the curb.


He started the car as he watched the pair get into the truck and pull away from the curb. He stayed three to four cars behind them as he followed them to their next destination. He was happy when they pulled back into the lot. It meant nothing suspicious could happen between them. He parked his car a couple meters from the lot, watching her follow the blue eyed blonde into the Teller-Morrow office before making their way into the clubhouse.


A/N: So that is it. Don't forget to review. So I don't know if any of you guys are Once Upon A Time fans as well but I certainly am. I already know I'd be slightly terrible at writing a OUaT fanfic on my own and I have a good idea for one, I just wanted to know if there is anyone who would like to co-write a story with me? Just let me know through PM if you're interested.

OKAY... On to poll results... This does include the review votes too...
