*two months later*

Bethany was on the lot with Trae and Ryann. She had the baby in the infant seat. Trae was playing on the playground with Abel. A truck pulled onto the lot and opened fire. Bethany pushed the infant seat back to where she was sure that Ryann wouldn't get hurt. She could hear the screaming followed by more gun shots. She had no idea where her son was.

"Trae," she yelled.

"Mama," he screamed.

She looked up to see him in his father's arms. She was glad that he was safe. He was deposited into her lap. She checked him over and kissed his head. Trae looked up at her with fear in his eyes.

"Mama, where's sissy?" he asked.

"She's over there," Bethany replied.

Trae squirmed to get out of his mother's arms and ran over to his screaming sister. He knelt in front of the seat. Bethany watched him check over his sister just like she had done to him and when he was satisfied that his little sister wasn't hurt, he leaned down to kiss her cheek. He sat there next to her seat and rubbed her leg. Bethany watched in amazement that her little girl began to calm down. That day solidified the relationship between her children. She looked at Juice who put his arms around her and nodded. Trae looked up at him. Juice smiled at him. Bethany walked over to her son and picked up the infant seat. Trae followed her into the clubhouse. She took the baby from the infant seat.

"Kids ok?" Gemma asked.

Bethany nodded. Opie walked over to check on his niece and nephew. Trae looked at his uncle and smiled.

"Mama," he said.

"What baby?" she asked.

"She ok,"

Bethany nodded. Trae nodded back with a very serious look on his face.

"My sissy," he said.

The attitude over his sister was now gone. Bethany watched her son with his sister. Juice walked over to them. He pulled Bethany into his arms again. She sighed heavily.

"You guys ok over here?" he asked.

"Yeah, I don't think we have to worry about Trae being irritated with his sister anymore babe," she said.

"Yeah?"

She nodded. It was sad that it took them having something bad happen for her son to decide that his sister was ok but she was going to take it. Ryann began to fuss in the infant seat. Bethany moved to pick her up. Trae went to his dad. Juice picked him up and hugged him tightly. Bethany grabbed a bottle and sat down on a bench to feed her daughter. It didn't take long for an officer to show up on the lot.

"Can I help you?" Clay asked the officer.

"We had a report of shots being fired over here," he said.

"Nope, we had a vehicle that backfired a little bit ago,"

"You sure?"

"Yes sir,"

The officer looked to everyone else on the lot to look for confirmation. They all nodded and agreed to it. The officer left the lot. They knew that they were going to be watched a little closer now at least for a while.

"Baby, maybe you should take the kids home," Juice said.

"Yeah you're probably right," she replied.

"I'll be home in a little while."

"I'm gonna finish feeding her first. Otherwise I won't even make it home,"

Juice nodded. She sighed. Trae looked at Juice.

"Daddy, you come too," he said.

"I'll be home in a little bit. I gotta finish working," Juice said.

Trae shook his head. Juice kissed the side of his son's head.

"Yeah son, I have to work. You'll go home with mommy," he said.

Trae whined on Juice's shoulder. Juice sighed. Clay walked back over where they all were standing.

"Johnny Law ain't leaving anytime soon," Jax said, walking up.

"True, best bet is to head home and call church a little later," Clay said.

Jax nodded. Juice shifted Trae in his arms and nodded.

"I'm gonna head home with my family then," Juice said.

"Fine, you can do the work I need from your house," Clay said.

"Ok."

"Jax will be by with the information I need you to find."

Juice nodded. Bethany finished feeding their daughter. She burped her and moved to put her back into the infant seat. Juice walked to her SUV with her to load the two kids up. He put Trae into the car and buckled him into his seat. He kissed his girl and headed to his bike. He followed her home. She unbuckled Trae and let him run up to the door. She took the infant seat out of the back. Juice pulled into the driveway and turned off the bike. He got off it and walked toward the front door. Bethany followed him.

"Juice," she said.

"What babe," he asked.

"You think that was an isolated incident?"

"Babe, we're safe here. It's all right. We'll take care of it."

Juice sighed. He knew that he was going to have to get her to calm down. It was a very different feeling being on the lot and having something happen like that with your kids there. Juice had never been that scared before. He had been determined to never let anything happen to his kids and there had been no stopping it. He wasn't going to show her that he was scared. He had to keep his cool so that she wouldn't freak out.
