Hello! I love and appreciate all of your reviews. :) Please keep them up. Chapter 10 already! O.O I am just as surprised as you guys are. I can't help but comment of yesterday's episode (since here it is technically almost four in the morning). We all knew that Gemma was going to get pay back for Tara – didn't expect it to be at the hands of her son. Nor did I count of Unser dieing – what the fuck, man?! Did not see that coming – like, AT ALL!

Juice shut down the chinese plot with one move and didn't kill Marilyn Manson's character so double points for him. Still love his character and the actor – I always thought that someone should have been there for him. "Just let me finish my pie.." lol. :)

Gemma in the garden, somewhere she apparently almost was when she was younger – or at least it was her favorite place to be. Anyways, did anyone else know that she is Kurt Sutter's wife?! I didn't know that..

I hope Jax lives past the season finale or I am sooo gonna be pissed.. him and Nero might try to go at each others throats. As long as they don't kill Jax, Chibs, Happy, or Nero – I am gonna be a happy SOA fangirl like I have always been..

Anyways on with the story.. :)

...

Of all the places that Happy and her went on runs, Janelle could honestly say that Charming was her favorite. It was home, it brought comfort to her being in her hometown. She missed it. Something in the air seemed to welcome them as the group of bikers that she was with crossed the sign that welcomed them back to Charming last night.. and as much as she was here the last few weeks she was trying her best to adjust. It was different having her mother and brother around her constantly, a often good more than bad kind of different.

Though the growing weight of her stomach told her she needed to find a home for Happy and her to raise their baby in. As much as she loved her brother, she wouldn't see the three of them moving in with him.. and they couldn't stay at the clubhouse because she would be damned if her baby girl was going to be around whores and the bar twenty four seven. Hell. No.

Janelle brought it up to Happy last night after they settled in after a shower and she agreed with her thinking, and while they would always have a room here, they both agreed that it was best to have a place of their own. She looked at him now, blinking the tiredness out of her eyes and stretched, smiling when she saw his face was relaxed and leaned over to press a kiss on his lips when his eyes shot open.

Rough hands tangled through her messy hair and flipped her gently so that he was half on top of her and staring uncharacteristically soft into her eyes, she smiled just as softly and leaned forward to close the distance.

Tomorrow she had to do that Taste for Change. She smothered a groan thinking about the long day ahead of her to help her mother out, but to be truthful it was probably not even going to be that bad. Her mother started it years ago to raise money to help out to schools when Jax and her were growing up. Music department instruments, books, etc. She let out a small sigh that turned pleasurable when Happy kissed the spot just below her ear. She loved it when he did that, when he interrupted her depressed thoughts and abruptly halted her thought process.

She smiled before it dimmed down, and she couldn't help her head tilting and her eyes glazed over in pleasure as his rough padded hand slowly started to move down her body.

Janelle jumped off of the step stood and stepped back from the huge 'Taste for Change' purple lettering banner she was hanging to see if it wasn't crooked before she nodded, satisfied and when to see her mother making sure they had everything that they needed for tomorrow. When Gemma looked up at her her smile when she was talking to Luann had almost disappeared and she seemed.. was that actually weariness in mother's eyes? "I... I have news." She continued when her daughter gave her a curious raised eyebrow, "April Horbart.. came around here and … asked if her ex husband can come tomorrow to watch his son's band play.."

It took less five seconds for Janelle to blink at her mother, her expression silently asking if she had lost her mind, "Are you fucking kidding me?" Her mother sighed knowingly, this was exactly why she was hesitant. Why she rushed though her explanation of said woman wanting to come tomorrow. She knew her daughter well. Gemma tried to say her name when she was cut off, "She actually had nerve to show up here? Asking..." Janelle eyes widened in fury, as if the whole thing was based on stupidity.

"Honey, blood pressure. It isn't for Kyle." Gemma paused when her daughter hissed for him to not say his name in front of her, and continued to try and convince her daughter that it was the right thing to do. "Or for April – it's for their son. He hasn't been allowed to come to anything related to the schools."

"And for good reason!" Janelle hissed, her eyes still wide as they looked upon her mother's face. "Because of that bastard, Opie was caught and chucked into prision. Left for the cops to find him. I don't give a damn if she said it's not for him or her. Is he still gonna be here? Even after at the end of the day is he the one that fled? Turned his back on a club brother? Donna was turned against us because that fool left one of my best friends for the cops. April just doesn't want to sit down with her kids and tell them that their father had something great and lost it by turning his back on the people that counted him as friends. No way in hell am I going to socialize with the likes of that after what he did to Opie. You can bring it up to Clay, you can have this bull shit request voted in – but may god help that asshole if he comes anywhere near me.. Now if you will excuse me, I still have things to do."

Gemma tried to call her daughter back, her voice growing firmer as seconds went on and Janelle's boots got farther away. She sighed again, louder this time as she remembered Janelle's words of murder as soon as she heard that Opie was left by Kyle to find for the cops to find. Luann wrapped an arm around her and stared at the woman she counted as a niece before turning back to her friend, and shrugged half sarcastically, "That went well.."

Gemma looked at her friend with doubt in her eyes, and shook her head before turning back to the things she was working on before hand, "As well as to be expected.."

…...

Happy's arms were what brought her back to earth as she found herself spacing out and smiling as the kids jumping in the inflatable bounce house, his hands rubbing soothing circles on her stomach before she spun around in his arms, kissing him lightly before pulling him toward Jax as she caught sight of him, Bobby in an Elvis outfit, and Tig right behind them as they pulled their bikes off to the side.

Janelle pulled out her phone texting Tara to hope she was having a good day at the hospital and that she would save her some of the food, she smiled as she got back a message saying that she didn't have to do that before it turned into a glare as the asshole himself stepped out of his truck that she would honestly love to take her Louisville slugger to a few places with a smiling younger girl that could have passed as a sweet butt in those tight black shorts and a slutty tank top.

His kid, a girl, was the first to spot him and couldn't help herself by running up to him and his son followed to greet him. The slut in training looked awkwardly out of place, good she wasn't welcome here anyway. April pulled him out to the side, arguing with him and while Janelle couldn't understand most of what they were saying she did clearly get the last thing April said, "This was a bad idea!"

Sweet Jesus, thank you. She has seen the light. Janelle grit her teeth, aware of her brother's eyes on her as he stepped to her, whispering for her to calm down in a soothing voice that he used when they were younger. Comforting her after Thomas, their little brother, died. She grabbed Happy's hand, looking at him and sharing her annoyance for even the idea of Kyle being her and her desperate plead to just have fun today, before he smiled softly down at her and nodded to the guys as she dragged him away quickly before she could give into the temptation to land Kyle in the hospital.

Too many witnesses. Supposed to be having fun. He isn't worth your time, your anger.. He should have his head split open with a – No. Too many witnessed. Supposed to be having fun.. Janelle sighed, slowly relaxing in Happy's arms and a smile formed on her face that grew with each passing moment that she was with Happy and away from Kyle.

"Auntie Janie!" Janelle smiled as she turned from the food stand only to laugh as Harry, Opie's son, hug her legs before she reached out her arm and hugged their daughter as well.

"Oh, my little munchkinlanders. You have grown since the last time I saw you." She offered them some of the food she just got, "Want some?" As soon as the four of them sat down at one of the tables, Janelle placed the plate in the middle of it before pulling out her phone and text one joint text to Happy, Opie and Jax that she was with Donna and the kids before putting it in one of the pockets in her black faded jeans. She looked at Donna and asked her how she was doing, keeping the conversation light until one of kids noticed the bounce house and the two women laughed before directing the kids to it.

Seeing the kids laughing as they accidentally bumped into each other, apologizing and continued to bounce reminded Janelle of the younger her and how she thought about things. Life, paired up with the death of her younger brother, changed her. She grew protectively fierce to the very end and she had no shame in the things that she had done. Maybe that was why she scoffed at the idea of Jax clinging to that blasted manuscript – even if it was the last piece of their dad and how they viewed things.

She still couldn't believe that her father, the man she looked up to when she was younger, didn't value what he had in her mother and them in the end. She remembered their times in Ireland, when he made trips there to pull together a Sons charter there. She remembers vaguely a sights, the laughter... and as much as she wished she could condemn him for leaving them, because dear god did she want to, she knew that she was too young to understand what was going on anyways. She had no clue what transpired between her parents and she didn't really want to ask. It wasn't her business, completely pushing aside that the front page of the manuscript was 'To my children : Thomas, who is already at peace – and my twins Jackson and Janelle : May they never know this life of chaos.'

She caught sight of it when Jax brought her to the Nevada boarder. 'Already at peace'?! Are you kidding me? From what she remembered he was never home when Tommy was alive and her father didn't exactly come rushing home to console her mother when – Janelle shook her head, coming back to earth and catching herself staring at the multicolored bounce house in thought, completely unaware that a new face to Charming that belonged to a man behind a booth was looking at her intently.

"Hey, Janelle.." Said woman looked at her dark haired friend with a raised eyebrow, the act getting Donna to stop biting her lip and put on the face of a strong confident woman that was both clueless and kind in her question, "A man that's here, when we pulled up I asked Opie about it and he said that he got out of the MC when I recognized him as being a part of it at some point.."

Donna lowered down the volume to what she was saying as she caught the irritation that Janelle had on her face and was becoming more pronounced as she kept speaking. So not only did the man be a part of the MC but from the looks of it Janelle wanted to murder him and cook him on one of the grills that were behind the stands serving food, and little did she know she was dead on. Janelle couldn't believe that Donna didn't know, mostly likely Opie not wanting Donna to get mad or start trouble here - "What is it Janelle?"

Old ladies could may or break a club : that was what her mother always told her. That old ladies had to stick together and Janelle wasn't going to lie to her friend no matter what.. Ah, well.

"Hey Don, why don't go sit down at a table, watch the kids play as we talk? I have a feeling it's gonna be a long, question interrupting frequently, story.."

Donna eyebrows shot up in fury after when she did what she was asked of her. Janelle told her why Opie most likely didn't tell her, but from the look in her eyes Donna could tell her friend didn't agree with her being kept in the dark about this type of thing. She was Opie's old lady, and he should have known that Janelle would tell her something at the very least.. but more importantly that her irritation for Opie, was the pure irate stroked fire that burned through her veins at the thought that this man Kyle took her old man, her husband, the father of their children, away from them just because he got a little scared.

She was going to kick his ass if she came acrossed him for all the chaos that she was put through, she glared at the table in front of her as if it was the source of all her problems and looked up sharply to lock eyes with Janelle to see the same look being shared between the both of them. They were going to make sure this Kyle paid for his cowardice.

One way or another.

Yess, my faithful readers. Donna and Janelle are gonna at least try to take the Taste for Change by storm. Almost feel sorry for Kyle.. almost.. who am I kidding, let him burn for what he did to Opie. Kick his ass. *fist bumps the air once excitedly like an energetic anime character.* Janelle knows she has no choice in the matter of if the asshole could come or not but Janelle is Janelle and doesn't really give a shit if someone doesn't like her opinion. :)

Please review. Thank you.
