This stroy is lightly based on an episode of The Flying Doctors.I loved it so much so I did a little rewriting for SOA
Fay and chibs are stuck in Piney's cabin during a storm.
Back in charming everyone is curious about what is going on between them.
They get back in Charming and Fay gets cornered by Tara and Chibs by Juice.
Then she finds out he's married to Fiona
"So what do you thing is going on with the two of them now?" Tara asked Gemma during diner.
The whole family had gathered around the table.
Gemma just smiled as she fed Thomas a spoon full of veggies.
"The cabin is fully stocked so I'm sure they will have everything they need."
They won't need much!"Tara smiled; "Stuck in that tiny cabin in a storm"
"What, Fay and Chibs no way that's gonna happen. All they do lately is argue." Jax said joining the conversation between his mother and his wife.
"Exactly! "Tara replied.
"How is that a sign for romance?"
"Men!" Gemma sighed; "It's like in those romance novels. They start out almost hating each other but the reason they argue is because they are secretly in love."
"Sure mom whatever, I still don't see this happening. You have been reading many of those novels?"
Gemma shot her son a look that could kill.
Fay parked her car in Gemma's driveway and grabbed the carseat with baby Keira.
Behind her she heard the familiar sound of Chibs bike pulling up.
"Aye!"
"Hi."
Chibs walked Fay to Gemma's door.
"I guess i'll see yeh sometime today."
"Yeah."
"Yeh need to rest lov."
"No time, I need to work I have a deadline."
"Get some rest ok?"
"I'll try."
Fay walked in and passed Gemma in the hallway.
Gemma raised an eyebrow and took the babygirl from Fay.
"I'll put her down sweetie, you take a shower and relax ok."
Fay nodded and headed into the bathroom.
Chibs went back to the clubhouse took a long cold shower and went to the garage.
Jax and Juice were working on a car when he came in.
"Hey old man, how was it!" Jax asked his sergeant.
Chibs just ignored the question and went about his business.
"The storm i mean man, how was the storm? "
Chibs just sighed; "wet loud and long, but yeh know all that."
"Come on Chibs tell us, you were looked in a cabin with a beautiful girl like Fay all night. Jax here has his old lady but I still need some pointers man!" Juice asked his friend.
Tara had made her way to Gemma's house and dropped of the boys.
"She's not telling me anything, you try!" Gemma told her as she picked up Thomas.
Tara went upstairs to find Fay.
"Hey, you tired?"
"I'm ok."
"I heard you got stuck with Chibs in the cabin."
"Yeah."
"You want to talk about it? I heard you talked to Fiona. That must have been weird!"
"Yeah!"
"So what happened last night, you and Chibs talked?"
"Yeah we did."
"So?"
"So what Tara, what do you want me to say. Where should I start?"
"The beginning would be a nice start?"
"Ok I got up yesterday, fed Keira..."
"Fay! The cabin and Chibs that's what i meant!"
Fay's view:
Fay had gone up to the cabin to think. Keira was sound asleep and she was thinking about earlier events.
Earlier that week she was at Tm when the phone rang. She awnsered as Gemma was busy.
"Teller Morrow Garage how can I help you?"
"Put Filip on now!"a voice demanded.
Fay was surprised to hear an irish accent ; "He's busy at the moment can I give him a message?"
"Aye tell him to call me!"
"And me would be?"
"His wife!"
Fay felt the earth shutter. Chibs was married and he never told her.
She felt her heart break, for the forst time in a long time she was allowing herself feelings about man. Strong feelings she hadn't felt since she had been a teenager.
When Chibs came into the office later that day and wrapped his arms around her waist, she had pushed him away.
Chibs was surpised and grabbed her wrist.
"Aye what is it lassie? What did I do to yeh to make yeh so angry?"
"It's what you didn't do!"she spat out.
Chibs looked at her puzzled
Fay tossed a piece of paper at him and rushed out.
She got in her car and drove of.
Chibs looked at the piece of paper .
Chibs call wife at...
"Oh god no! " he sighed.
Fay had raced home and picked up Keira from the babysitter.
She called Gemma from the car and told her she needed some alone time to think.
Gemma had told her to take the keys for the cabin.
"Chibs"
"Aye!"
"I just got a strange call from Fay, what the hell did you do?"
"Why do yeh think I did something?"
"Because Fay is upset and the baby's fine. The only think I can think of is You! "
"Fiona called here. Fay took the call!" Chibs told Gemma as he showed het the note.
Gemma smacked him around with it; "You idiot, you have a change at being happy again and you let this bitch screw you over again."
"I don't even know where Fay's at."
"She's at the cabin. Make this right! Fiona should not be a factor in this."
Flashback:
Fay was alone with her thoughts when she heard a bike arrive at the cabin.
She knew it was Chibs without looking. She always senced he was around since the day Keira was born.
That stubborn old scotsman had gotten under her skin and she felt like a sucker for it.
"Fay open up!"
"Go away!"
"I'm not leaving untill you understand."
"what's there to understand, you're married! You kissed me but you're married to someone else."
"Fay open up, I'm not haven this talk through a door and I don't wanna scare Keira!"
Fay sighed and opened the door.
She stood there, arms crossed across her chest.
"Talk!"
I'm not involved with Fiona lov!"
"She's your wife . How much more involved do you want it to be."
"She has been with another man for years. Took my little girl away from me and had her raised by abother man,The same one who did this" he said pointing to his scars.
"Jimmy O?"
Filip nodded.
"How?" she asked him stepping away from the door so he could enter.
Filip told her the whole story. In the short time he had gotten to know Fay, he had learned that just like Tara wanted as little secrets as possible.
Sometime during their conversation a storm had broken out and rain was pooring down.
"I'm sorry Filip but I've been lied to too many times in my life, especially by people that claim they love me. You should have told me!I thought we were friends."
"We are! I'm sorry Lov!"
"Sometimes being sorry is just not enough!"
"Fay please?"
Fay just turned around and faced the window.
Chibs'phone rang.
"Aye Jackieboy, what is it? What? No that's not ganna !"
Fay looked at Chibs questionable.
"Ok I'll tell her!"
"Tell me what?"
"The storm has cassed the road to the cabin to flood. There is no way we're getting out of here tonight."
"What?"
"Sorry lov yeh stuck with me overnight."
Fay's View:
"Come on Fay I thought we were friends don't do this to me!"
"Do what?"
"Don't you trust me?"
"Yeah I do."
"Then why haven't you said a word to me about what happened last night at the cabin." Tara said; Don't you want to blab about it all over the place. what's the point of being girls if we can't , you know gossip, occaisonally."
Chibs view:
Juice came up to Chibs who was under the car he was fixis. It had an oilleak and Chibs was annoyed with it.
"You could just tell me what happened last night!"
Knock; "Ouch!" Chibs bumped his had against the car at his comment.
"Aye Juice boy what do yeh wanna hear, I knew she was interested but that phonecall had almost completely ruined me chances."
Fay's View:
"So we have total privicy here, Gemma's with the kids." Tara told her friend; So what happened?"
"Oh man I feel like I'm in highschool all over again."
"Isn't that what you are suppost to feel like?"
Fay blushed highly.
Flashback:
"I needed an excuse to get Chibs out of there , just so I could relax for 10 seconds and gather my thoughts about him staying there the whole night. So I asked him to get some fire wood."
"I started looking though the cupboards for some food and luckely Gemma had it fully stocked."
"he was soaking wet when he returned and he took of his shirt,so I handed him an extra shirt I had found but he refused to take it."
"Why don't you put this on?It will keep you warm."
"Yeh have to be joken me! What is it Fay? Me body driving you crazy?"
"Yeah right! with boredom maybe."
"Maybe I should put the wet one back on so I get pneumonia and then you need to nurse me back to health."
"You are incredibly!"
"So I've been told!"
Fay's view:
"He actually said that?"
"Word for word!"
"He was just trying to make me nervous."
"Did it work?"
"Not for a second!"
Chibs view:
"She was nervous, I could tell."
"Did she deny it?"
"Aye! Blushing and all!"
"I love it when they do that!"
"Me too Juiceboy me too!"
"She cooked us diner and fed Keira her was cute and very I decedid To take me chance."
Flashback:
"What would you say if I told yeh you're gorgeous?"
Silence!
"Nothin'!... ok"
"What would yeh say your smile drives me crazy!"
"I never smile at you!"
"Yeh do occasionally."
He stared in her eyes.
"What would you say, if I said I'm sick of you making everthing into a joke!"
"I'm not joken this time. no jokes no fights. I'm not tryin'to be funny."
She was confused.
"I want yeh !" Chibs walked up to Fay and closed the distance between them.
"you think you're so smart but you're not!"
"I've wanted you since the first day I met yeh!"
Fay turned around and foccused her attention on the dishes.
"Has it ever crossed yeh mind that there's a reason we fight most of the time?"
"You are unbelievable!Even if there is any chemistry between us it will never happen. You are married Filip! I'm not setting myself and Keira up for that."
"Fiona and me are married, aye. But we haven't been together since before I left Ireland. She went to be with Jimmy."
Fay snorted.
"I find yeh incredibly attractive and I'm kinda sure you feel the same way about me!"
At that time Keira started to fuss so Fay focussed her attention on the little girl.
After a while the little girl had gone back to sleep and Fay knew they were going to continue their conversation.
"Look after I left Ireland I had shut down completely. Who is it's right mind would look at me and not see a monster. But in time the scares healed and I got into a routine. I kept te smart comments commin, I kept uninvolved, just sweetbut, but I don't think I want that anyomore."
So many things were going though Fay's mind.
"Why would you think people only see your scars?"
"Aye it sometimes is all I see lov!"
"That's just .. wrong!"
"I remember when I first saw yeh! Shades on top of yeh head and like Tara dressed in black maternityclothes. And then there was that radiant smile!"
"You remember what I was wearing?"
"Aye, Yeh looked beautiful just a little sad. I thought to myself Oh no, not another beautiful woman! But then I found out you're one though lady and smart and funny. And then Keira was born. Yeh allowed me to be part of have told me I was shallow, but that's not the way I feel about yeh!"
"You are married and have a daughter and you didn't even bother to tell me. That's shallow Filip."
"I didn't want to mention that to yeh now would I!"
"I wouldn't have cared!"
"Maybe!"
Chibs view:
"What do you mean just small talk. You're not gonna do this to me are you!"
"Do what juiceboy?"
"Get this far and then clam up. You can't do this to a guy. I'm in training here!"
"Sorry That's between me and the lass!"
Flashback:
"Fay I never planned on this! I never planned on fallin'for yeh! Fiona made my life difficult."
"So how do you see this then? You and me? You and Fiona? You can't have both! I need to know. I need to protect Keira from things that could hurt her. And having you in our lives but the constant risk of your wife claming you is not good for either of us!"
"Aye, I need to talk to Fiona then. Because this, between us ain't goin'to pass!"
Fay rubbed her hands over her arms.
"yeh getting cold and tired. Yeh need to get to bed."
"There is only one here!"
"Yeh take it, i'll sleep in the chair!"
"Filip, you can't, You'll ruin your back. The bed's big enough just sleep there."
"Yeh sure lov? "
"Yeah!Let's just sleep and we'll figure out how to go about this together."
"Does that mean yeh like me too?"
Fay snorted; "Like you didn't know!"
Chibs wrapped his arms around Fay and burried his head in her neck.
"Night love!'
"Night Filip!"
