JAX

I throw my arm at the alarm, hitting the off switch before rolling back over and wrap my arm around my wife.

"We have to get Abel up." She sighs and I pull her tighter.

I mumble something about 5 more minutes and she giggles. I roll over and lay on my back while she sits up and pulls my button up on, making sure she's covered before pulling my boxers on and heading to the kitchen to make breakfast. I loved watching her in my clothes, made my clothes sexy. I get up and slip my sweats in place before going to wake up my son. I was taking him and then heading to the shop. Now that's he's older, he knows the dangers of my bike and how to hold on. I have take him and Thomas around the block to get them used to when they were just visiting.

Yesterday, I took Abel to the bike shop to pick out a helmet, telling Thomas he gets to when the casts are off. We did bring him back a shirt though. I have a feeling both of my boys will get a bike and that scares me a bit. I'm just glad they aren't growing up in the club the way I did. Sure we have our moments, but no one's been in jail for something major since I took the gavel. I pad down to the boys' room and turn the light. "Up Abel, Nikki's got breakfast going."

I hear them move around and I turn to head to the kitchen, knowing my little bit will be up shortly. She usually climbs in bed with us and goes back to sleep so this is new for three of us. I kiss my wife as she gives me a mug of black coffee and I sigh as I drink it. Abel comes down and takes a plate of waffles from Nikki before sitting down and eating. I take my own plate and sit to eat as well. Thomas makes his way, Mikayla holding onto his scooter. That girl hasn't left her brother's side since we told her the specialist was here to help make him better.

Mikayla climbs into her chair and Thomas sits, Nikki putting their plates in front of them. Nikki makes her plate and sits as I finish. I kiss her temple and get up to take a quick shower and then dress to get Abel on time. By now, all of Charming knows what happened last week. Because of this, Nikki and I set the alarm about thirty minutes early to give us enough time to get a routine before changing it. I grab a pair of jeans and some boxers while the water heats up. I get in and take the quickest shower I remember ever taking and get out, wrapping the towel around me.

I blow dry my hair so it's dry since I can't wait for it to dry. I pull on my boxers and jeans, opening the door to see that my lovely Nikki has put out a SAMCRO shirt for me. My cut and Kabar sitting next to it with the door closed. I slip the shirt over my head and my cut over it, clipping the Kabar in place. I slide my sneakers on and grab my wallet, bike keys, and smokes.

"Ready, Abel?" I ask as I reach the Living room.

"Yea."

I wait while Nikki gives him a hug, Mikayla and Thomas also, before let him lead me out the door.

I strap my helmet and put my glasses on, straddling the bike. Abel gets his helmet on and then I help him on the bike, making sure his feet are on the pegs I had Happy install for me. He wraps his arms around me and I back up once he tells me he's ready. He has his hands fisted in my shirt, but I don't care. It lets me know he's holding onto me as tight as he can. I nod at my family as we drive to the school. The ride was shorter than I thought and in no time, I'm dropping off Abel. I sit my feet on the ground and help my son off, watching as he goes in to the gym. I kick my stand down and go in to talk to the principal.

"Yes, Mr. Teller."

I take my glove off and shake her hand. "Tara's not allowed to see the boys. I need to take her name off the sheet."

I watch the lady nod and then pull up Abel and Thomas' sheet for pick up.

I make sure Nikki and my mother are on it and then add Matt and Samantha since Kim's in Abel's cass. I thank her and then go back to my bike. I get on and start it, strapping my helmet. I bring up the kickstand and then head to work. I pull up and park in my usual spot, leaving the helmet on the bars. I head to the table to smoke since we're not open yet. I'm never here this early, it's weird, but worth it. Nikki had text me to ask how the ride was and I send her a fine and let her know that I took Tara off the pick up. I flip my phone and take a drag, the others starting to get here. I nod as they all start their day and drop my snipe, heading to a bay. I was working with Juice on restoring a classic Impala and since he was here, we could get started.

The inside was actually not that bad, just needed some cleaning and maybe fixing the hoses. The old lady died and left it to her grandson. I get under and check the bottom while Juice is working on taking out parts to clean. I get some of the dirt and grime off the bottom and scoot out when someone kicks my foot. Happy helps me up and I look over to see Wendy. I had talked some more with Nikki and we came to an agreement about the woman. Abel wanted to meet her, but on our terms. I walk over to her, wiping the grease off my hands.

"You said to meet at 9, I'm early."

I nod and gesture for her to sit. I take out a smoke and offer her one.

"I quit all of it this time. Five years sober since the last relapse."

I nod. "That's good. Abel wants to meet his birth mom. Nikki and I discussed it and actually think you could help."

She puts her arms on the table. "How?"

I had told her about what Tara did to them and so I sigh, taking a drag. "Tara can't see them till she is sober for two year without relapsing. We think if he sees you, it may give him hope for her. I told him you were sick like Tara and that's why he hasn't met you, Wendy. He asked."

She sighs and waves at my mother before answering. "I'll do what I can, but Jax...she may not want to get better. If she doesn't want to, she won't."

I nod, "Nikki and I know that, but the boys don't. We got them a Specialist for children like them. She thinks it's a good idea. She also said that with them already being as comfortable around me and Nikki as they are, they may heal fast."

I put out my cigarette as she takes in what I tell her. We both know that Abel is the only reason she's getting this shot.

She looks off for a moment and answers. "When?"

"This weekend. The boys start their sessions today and we have a group one on Friday. Saturday gives Abel enough time to ask questions if he wants."

She looks at me. "Where?"

"The park. It's public and the other two can play. Thomas has an appointment this morning. We called the doctor that he had the other day and asked about a boot for his leg."

She sighs and gets up. "Ok. Let me know when."

I nod. "As soon as I talk to Abel and Nikki."

She smiles and heads back to her car.

I get up and wave at my mother, going back to help Juice. Gemma already knew why she was here anyway so I didn't have to explain it. I tell Juice that I need the hose to clean the bottom. We get the tow and move the Impala over to the lift since no one's using it and back the car on it with Rat and Bobby's help. Once it's in place, Bobby pulls the lever. We stand back as it's the first time we needed to use it since rebuilding.

Bobby pushes the lever back in place and I go to get the hose. I connect it to the tub and then Juice stands by the knob while I walk the hose to the car. I give the signal and he turns the water on. We all stand back as water sprays everywhere, nasty shit also. We knew it was bad though as the guy told us it was in his grandma's garage under a tarp since his grandfather died. I get all grime off and then Rat steps under, carefully, to examine the parts.

"Everything seems alright, Jax."

I nod and Rat gets back as I give the signal to Bobby, who lowers the car back down. Rat and Juice get it back on the tow and we move it back in place before breaking for lunch. I wipe my hands as I see Sam and Matt pull in across the street. Sam waves me over and I sit the rag down. I get across the street to see her holding a bag.

"From your wife."

I open it to see roast beef on sourdough and can feel the water in my mouth.

"Thanks, I put you and Matt on the list for the boys."

She nods. "Alright."

I kiss her cheek and nod to Matt, heading back to so I can eat quickly before helping more with that damn car. In order to stay on schedule, we at least had to get all the hoses out of it and the parts cleaned and sit out to dry. I eat my wife's food she sent me and get back up to get some hoses off while Juice finishes his lunch. I write down what is needed and take a list to mom.

"Hey, these are for the Impala. I got the numbers, if they don't have them, let me know."

She nods and picks up the phone. I turn and head back with Juice.

"Hey, if you start spraying, we'll get done before you leave, Jax."

I nod and take the parts in the bucket to the tub. I dump them out and then turn the water on. I spray each part individually, placing it back in the bucket when I'm finished. I bring them back and sit them out on the tarp that we had out. Juice takes the bucket. "It's 2:45, get home. I can finish."

I smile and nod, heading to wash up and go home. I make quick work and before I know it, I'm pulling up at my house. Mikayla runs out to me while her mother sits on a chair and Thomas on the step. I pick her up and walk up to my family.

"Like the boot." I tell my son as I sit in a chair by my wife.

"It's easier to get around. The doctor told me to be careful getting dressed but that's about it." He comments.

I turn to Mikayla, who's playing with my cut. "Yes, baby girl?"

"Daddy, why can't I talk to the lady?"

I look at my wife, who smiles. "She wants a session too."

I smile down at my daughter. "She's here to help Thomas and Abel, maybe you can say hello when she's finished."

Mikayla nods. "Ok."

I let her down and she plays tic tac toe with Thomas using chalk. I take out a cigarette and light it up, asking Nikki about their day. She tells me that the tutor was alright, but isn't very patient. She also tells me that Sam took Mikayla to the park today so she could go with Thomas and that Tara tried to see him. She also told me that she told Roosevelt that we were taking him in and so met them there to hold off Tara. I really hated keeping the boys from her, but she needed to get better. Maybe not being able to see them will give her in push to get better and get rid of the fucker. The door opens and I grab Mikayla so that the doctor can get out, Abel behind her. She nods at me and lets Kay ask her questions. We watch as she gets in her car and leaves. I turn my daughter in my arms and smile.

"How about we do nachos for dinner?"

Her face lights up and Nikki chuckles. "We can do that."

The boys nod and Nikki helps Thomas stand. He seems to get around better with the boot, so that's good. The boys go to play on the Wii while Mikayla shows me some pictures she drew and Nikki goes to see about the Nachos. It's only 3:30 so it should be long enough. Nikki makes them from scratch and all the kids love them. She has told me plenty of times that the can spices aren't good for you. I hear the boys cheer at the game and Mikayla goes to inspect. I follow out of her home and head to mine, putting the Kabar in it's new box. I sit my wallet and things on the dresser also before heading back down to my kids and wife. I stop to look into the boys room and watch as they are trying to show Mikayla how to play a Mario game. I smile and head to my wife. I wrap her in my arms and push her hair away so I can kiss her neck. "He do alright?"

She nods, keeping to her task. "Much better since the boot. You talk to Wendy?"

I keep my arms around her and put my head on her shoulder. "She wants to help. Told me to let her know what time on Saturday."

She nods, "Gemma still wants her time with them in the afternoon, so about 10 or so probably.

"Alright, I'll talk to Abel while you're bathing Mikayla."

She nods and I finally move to get a drink, pulling out some for the kids and sitting them on the table while I'm at it. I sit for a bit outside, texting Wendy about Saturday when I hear my wife tell the kids to wash up. I come back in and touch her hip on the way by to see if they need help. Abel has lifted his sister to help her and I smile, walking to check on Thomas.

"You got it alright?"

He nods, smiling at me in the mirror. I smile back and wait on him, pulling me to him as we head to eat.

Here's Jax, hope you liked this one. Thanks for the reviews, favors, and follows as always. Please remember to leave me little notes about what you think! -Brianna:)
