The big day was finally here. After being closed for almost two weeks, Dani's café was ready to be reopened. It had gotten a complete overhaul, not even looking remotely the same, but she couldn't wait for her clients to see it.

For the occasion, Gemma had helped her decorate the café with balloons and banners. Ever since Dani told her about her and Jax, they had grown even closer. Gemma came to see her practically every day. It seemed like she was really part of the family now.

She also didn't mind the respect she received. Dani was Jax Teller's old lady now, not just some hang around. People were getting her drinks and offering to help her out with the café. It seemed as if they were looking up to her. The only one who hadn't talked to her yet was Ima, but she couldn't say she was looking forward to that conversation so Dani decided not to go look for her. There was no point in fighting about Jax, he was hers now.

"Your father would be proud," Gemma said. They were admiring their work, checking if all the banners hung straight. The entire morning they had spent preparing and Dani was sure she would go insane if she had to blow up another balloon.

Gemma's words touched her. She could only hope her dad would've liked the direction she went in. It was a little less conventional than he'd probably go for, but no one could deny the café looked great. "Thank you, Gemma," she replied. "That means a lot."

"Is everything else ready?" Gemma asked.

Dani nodded. "It took me an entire night to prepare everything, but I'm pretty sure it is all covered."

Not wanting to bother her employees, Dani had spent the whole night baking cakes, making sure everything was ready to go. Coffee was practically keeping her alive at this moment.

"Good," Gemma said, turning her body towards her. "I'm sure it's gonna be a success, sweetheart. You really outdid yourself."

Dani looked around her café, having to admit she did pretty good for herself.

"So, I'm not really good with speeches," Dani started. She was standing in front of a large audience inside her café. It seems like the whole town had showed up from the opening. The police, all her regular customers, everyone. They had all gotten quiet to hear her make a speech before officially opening the café. "But I just wanna thank you all for coming, I really appreciate it. Without all of you I could've never gotten the café back to where it was before, so once more, thank you so much."

Gemma handed her a scissor so she could cut the ribbon that she had hung between the opening in the bar. Dani smiled as she accepted it. "And I now declare this café open!" She cut the ribbon before getting a roar of applause. Her heart started to beat faster. She did it, she really did it. The café was open again and better than ever.

"First drink is on the house!" Gemma shouted over the noise, which resulted in an even louder uproar.

Dani cocked her eyebrow, wondering what that was about.

"Don't worry, I'll pay for them," Gemma said. "Just focus on the party, and not on the business. I'll take care of it."

"Thanks, Gemma," Dani replied. She turned around to find Jax, finding him in the corner of the café, talking to Chibs and Tig.

When he spotted her as well, he came towards her, embracing her in a hug before placing a kiss on her forehead. "I'm so proud of you, babe," he whispered in her ear.

"I can't wait to get back to work," she replied. "Don't think I'll ever get a job as a decorator."

"Gemma will gladly take that job from you," Jax snickered.

Dani spotted Bruce darting over the floor, dodging all the guests while being followed closely by Lana who had also taken a liking in the puppy.

"I'll get us something to drink," Dani said.

Jax nodded and she made her way through the crowd to the bar, accepting kind words from everyone she passed. Luckily Half-Sack and Opie's wife Donna had offered to manage the bar so she had the time to actually enjoy the party.

"Two beers, please," she told Half-Sack with a smile.

"Sure thing," he replied, turning his back towards her.

Dani rested against the bar. The café was completely packed and she expected tomorrow to be exactly the same. She had called all her staff to come into work tomorrow, wanting to be prepared for the lunch rush.

Turning her head to face the bar again, her eyes rested on the person next to her. Dani's heart skipped a beat when she saw who it was.

"Wendy!" she exclaimed. "Didn't know I invited you?"

This was the first time Dani had seen her since she knew about the pregnancy. To be honest, she figured Wendy didn't have the balls to show her face around Charming ever again, but clearly she had been wrong. Did Jax know she was here?

"I didn't know you had to have invitations?" Wendy replied.

Dani rolled her eyes. "I hope you are not drinking," she said, referring to the drink in her hand, which could either be a regular coke or coke mixed with something a little more strong.

Wendy raised her eyebrows. "So you know?"

"Jax doesn't keep anything from me," she snapped back, although that wasn't entirely true. There were a lot of things she didn't know about Jax, some things she'd rather not know. The SAMCRO thing wasn't her business, but she did wish he would let her in a little more.

"Yeah, what is up between you two anyway?"

Dani glanced over her shoulder to look at Jax, being glad she was finally able to answer that question. "We're together," she replied.

"And you okay with this?" Wendy nodded towards her belly that seemed to have grown a lot bigger since the last time Dani had seen her.

"Not like I can do anything about it, can I?" Dani shrugged.

She felt a hand appear on her waist. "Everything alright here?" Jax said.

"Yeah," Dani nodded. "Wendy was just leaving."

Wendy frowned, but got the hint. "Nice talking to you, Dani."

Closely, she followed Wendy disappearing through the crowd, being able to breath again as soon as she was out of sight. Not wanting to start a fight at her own party, Dani managed to keep her anger under control.

"Don't be so hard on here," Jax remarked.

Dani turned around to face him. "What?"

"Just be nice."

What was up with his sentimental bullshit? Before Wendy was pregnant he wouldn't even look at her, let alone tell Dani to be nice to her. "It's my party, I do what I want," she told him, before slipping past him to go look for Gemma.

"Are you hiding?" Dani said, after finding Gemma in the parking lot behind the store.

"Just trying to enjoy my cigarette in silence," she replied. She extended her arm to offer Dani a drag, but she declined as she didn't smoke.

"Guess who just showed up?" Dani sat down beside Gemma in the door opening, extending her feet in front of her.

"Wendy?" Gemma guessed.

"Yeah," Dani nodded. "You need to have a talk with Jax though. He was telling my how I should be nice to her and shit."

"Jesus Christ, he's turning soft." Gemma put out her cigarette next to her. "Don't worry, I'll talk to him."

"Thanks," Dani said. Since things were finally going great between them, she didn't want Wendy to complicate things. Even though she was the mother of his child, Jax had to remember who she was exactly. A baby shouldn't change things.

She caught herself trying to dodge Jax for the rest of the evening, finally having to confront him again when almost everybody had left. It was already in the early hours of the day, and she could safely say she had had an amazing time. The working day would be hard though, as she probably wouldn't get any chance to sleep, seeing as the café still had to be cleaned and be made presentable for the first customers tomorrow.

After all the people helped her cleaning also left, it left her and Jax alone in the café. He was sitting on a bar stool, waiting for her to finish locking up. "Come here," he said, offering her his hand.

Dani obliged, not wanting to stay mad at him forever.

"I'm sorry for the Wendy thing okay?" he apologized.

"It's fine," Dani replied, glad he apologized. Maybe Gemma already had a talk with him?

"Good," Jax smiled, moving his head forward, his hands cupping her face.

Dani felt a little surprised by his reactions, but gladly went along. Her lips moved on his, her hands grabbing his back.

Jax stood up, lifting her in the process. He placed her on the bar, but before he could do anything further Dani stopped him. "Not where everyone can see," she laughed, referring to the big windows which covered the front side of the café.

"They might enjoy it," Jax replied, but he picked her up again, slowly walking to the kitchen of the café. Dani placed soft kisses in his neck. He closed the door behind them. "This better?"

"Much better," Dani said. As she was lowered on the crowd, she made sure not to hurt her head. The kitchen tiles felt cold under her skin, but luckily Jax's body was hot enough to warm her up.

Dani was very thankful she had kept the fleece blankets given to her by Gemma. She had placed one on the ground while another one covered their bodies.

"We will regret this so much tomorrow," she said, pressing her body against Jax's again after stepping out in the morning air to retrieve them. The hard floor would definitely leave her body aching after laying on it for so long.

"We'll survive," Jax laughed.

Dani rested her head on his chest, softly listening to his heart beating. Her eyes fell on the clock hanging on the wall opposite of her. "Shit, Lana is already coming in an hour." She hoped to at least catch a few hours of sleep before starting to work again, but more time had passed than she expected.

"Ah, don't worry, babe," Jax said. "That gives us plenty of time."

He smiled as he moved his body on top of hers again, giving her soft kisses.
