Gemma woke up early and couldn't help but smile at the scene that met her eyes. Scattered throughout the living room were her boys and more than one of them had their guns within reach in case they needed them for some reason. She stood up and carefully made her way through the living room and into the kitchen. She wanted to fix breakfast so that Crystal, Katie, Daniel, and Annie all had something to eat once they woke up. When she heard a noise at the doorway to the kitchen she turned her head to look and smiled when she saw Bobby standing there. "Good morning, Bobby."
Bobby smiled and finished walking into the kitchen. He went straight over to the coffee pot and got it started with the coffee he saw on the counter. Once he was finished with that he looked at Gemma. "Good morning, Gemma. What shall we make for breakfast this morning? I do believe that Crystal and Katie need to eat and more than likely the two kids will be hungry once they wake up."
Gemma nodded. "I was thinking scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, french toast, muffins, and some biscuits. . Luckily I did some grocery shopping yesterday after I sent Clay to pick up Katie, Daniel, and Annie from the airport. I know that Crystal did some shopping yesterday as well but she didn't pick up much because she was way too nervous."
Bobby nodded. "I noticed that about her. I can't really blame her for being weary in public but she needs to at least spend some time in public. She may feel better and safe spending all of her time in the house but her son and niece need to be outside. They are both young and need to be able to act it even though they are on the run. I do wonder though how she is going to handle going to the prison with Clay and Jax this morning if she couldn't handle a trip to the grocery store."
Clay who had heard the end of what Bobby said cleared his throat and said "I actually thought about that last night and I think that Crystal will do just fine at the prison. She will have Jax and I with her but she will know that there are correction officers on hand if something happens. I think her need to see Otto is greater than her fear of being out in public. Besides I am pretty damn sure that she feels one hundred percent with Jax seeming as she let him sleep in her bedroom last night. I never thought I would see Jax fall for or care for anybody ever again after the shit that bitch doctor put him though but here he is and I can actually see him falling for Crystal. I couldn't believe it when I saw that he couldn't take his eyes off of the girl last night. And to see her get lost in his eyes like she did was breathtaking to watch. If two were ever made for one another I am pretty sure it is those two. I will be talking to Jax though because after everything Crystal has been through she doesn't need hurt again. If he wants to be with her then he needs to be one hundred and fifty percent sure of that decision because I have a feeling there will be no what happens on a run stays on a run when it comes to her. She has been hurt way too fucking much and she deserves someone who will give her one hundred and fifty percent of their attention."
Gemma sighed and nodded even as she started cooking breakfast for everyone. "I agree, Clay, but you also have to remember that Jax has never had a problem being faithful if he truly cared for someone. I don't see Jax sticking his dick anywhere other than in Crystal even if he has to wait for it. I have never seen the look on his face that he had last night. He never even looked at Tara the bitch like that when they were together. He wasn't aware of anything last night except for Crystal and that was a first. Maybe he will be just what she needs to feel that she is able to be in public."

Jax laid right where he was and watched as Crystal slept. He let his eyes run over her body and frowned. He didn't like how thin she was especially since he could see her ribs even through the baggy shirt that she had on. He leaned over and placed a kiss on her head before he gently climbed out of the bed. He wanted to go out and talk to Clay and his mom before she woke up. He made his way out of her bedroom and quickly checked in on the two kids before he continued down the hall and into the living room. He smirked when he saw his brothers all starting to stir from where they had crashed the night before. He stepped over Opie and Chibs and made his way to the kitchen where he saw Clay standing in the doorway. He smelled food cooking and knew that his mom and Bobby were cooking. He stepped around Clay, walked into the kitchen, and over to where he saw a pot of coffee. He grabbed a coffee mug out of the cupboard he knew that they were in and poured himself a cup before he turned around and leaned against the counter. "Good morning, Ma, Clay, and Bobby."
Gemma smiled at her son. "Good morning, baby. Did you get some sleep last night or did you spend the whole night watching over Crystal?"
Jax chuckled and shook his head. "I got some sleep. I woke up about thirty minutes ago and then just laid there watching her sleep. I don't know if any of you have noticed but she is too fucking thin and I can see her ribs poking out even with the baggy shirt that she put on last night to sleep in. I left her sleeping and came out here because I wanted to talk to you guys. How exactly are we going to get Crystal to Stockton? I don't think her car will make it. It really needs a thorough going over. I also want to know if you think she will be able to handle going to the clubhouse so that her and Katie can use Juice's laptop to shop for some clothes."
Gemma chuckled and shook her head. "I think that Crystal will be able to handle going to the clubhouse as long as we keep those who are not Sons away from her. She seems to feel safe with everyone here. We will need to make sure though that we keep the Crow eaters away from her because we all know they love to run off with their mouths and start shit. As for how you will get to Stockton you can take my car if Crystal doesn't feel safe riding on the back of a bike. While you and Clay take her to see Otto, Jax, I will make sure one of the boys takes her car to the shop and gives it a good looking over. Clay, don't forget that you need to see if you can find out where LuAnn's car is since it was left to Crystal. I will help Katie with Daniel and Annie today and we will be at TM when you three get back from Stockton."
Jax's eyes hardened. "If the Sweetbutt's even dare to say one wrong thing to Crystal, Katie, Daniel, or Annie they will wish that they never stepped foot into the clubhouse today. I will not put up with any of the saying shit when they shouldn't. How soon will breakfast be finished? If it will be soon I'll go wake Tig, Katie, Crystal, and the kids up. The girls and the kids need to eat."
Bobby smiled from where he was pulling muffins out of the oven. "Breakfast will be finished in about fifteen minutes, Jax. I think it would be a good idea to go ahead and wake them up so that they have time to go to the bathroom and get dressed."
Jax nodded and then kissed his mother on the head and walked out of the kitchen to go wake Tig, Katie, Daniel, Annie, and Crystal up so that they could get ready for the day and so that they could eat a home cooked meal.
