Chapter 10
Jax
I placed Thomas in the stroller and put the packed bag of food in the basket underneath the stroller. Once done, i walked ahead of Abel and Luce listening in to their conversations.
"I love green. It's my favourite colour" said Able when asked. He pointed to a bush with small, purple flowers and ran to it and picked a flower and gave it to Luce.
"Why, thank you Abel" I heard her say to him, admiring the little flower. Beaming, Abel ran to my side and slowed to a walk so that he walked beside the stroller. Thomas was already asleep. We got to a place in the park where there was no people and Luce and I started to unpack the food i brought. I even remebered the picnic blanket Tara bought for these sorts of occasions...
"Jax...? Did you hear what i said?" asked Luce. I blinked a few times and ran a hand through my hair. I looked at Luce and she was holding an empty cup and the lemonade bottle.
"Oh, um. Yes please, sorry I was just remebering, um i was..." I looked at Abel who was eating his sandwhich that Luce had made him and smiled sadly.
"Bever mind. It doesn't matter" I finished. She frowned but didn't say anything. She poured the lemonade into my cup and passed it to me then poured herself one as well as Abel one. I had given Thomas his bottle. Since of course now he decided to wake up.
It was quite a beautiful day. The sunshine was lovely and soon after he had finished eating, Abel was begging to go and play on the playground with the other children.
"Make sure you are in our site" warned Luce to Abel.
"Yes Lucy!" He yelled, running to play. I started to pack the things away and Luce helped the process. After we sat for awhile enjoying the sunshine, not needing to even say a word. Luce broke the silence first.
"Thanks for a lovely day Jax. Your boys, they are beautiful children."
I looked at Thomas playing with his tiny bear and smiled. I looked at Luce and said,
"Thanks for coming. I think the boys needed you here today. Expecially Abel. You have got him wrapped around your little finger, you know? Not sure if that's a good thing or not" I joked. She hit me lightly, laughing.
"Kids love me, what can i say" she replied moving closer to me on the blanket. On this blanket, we must have both looked like little school children, crossed legged and all. i didn't even cared who saw to be honest. Nothing or no body could destroy this perfect day was what I thought to myself. Suddenly, there were four shots and i heard a yelp and gasps of air and i pulled out my gun and tried to aim at the tires of the car but only got the boot of the car. I walked back quickly and saw that Thomas was with a woman from the park and someone had Abel too. They looked at me funny. That's when i saw her. In my haste to get the car back with shots, i didn't see the damage already done. Two shots hit. One in the shoulder and ne in the leg. Soon the ambulance came and took her away and Chibs and the guys showed up.
"What's the plan, brother?" asked Chibs. I looked down at my shirt and looked around to see the cops coming towards our group. I shook my head and blinked slowly, trying to think.
"Club meeting in an hour's time at the new clubhouse, til then.. Make inqueries. Figure who did this. I don't care how. They could have hurt my sons... Luce..."
"She's tough" said Tiggy, patting my shoulder. i hope so, I thought. I hope she is so strong. Because i need her. I can't lose her too.
