Branding

Delia reached over her head to grab the phone before the kids. She barely glanced away from the movie in front of her before answering. "Yeah."

"Hey darlin'." Delia smiled at the voice coming through the phone.

"Hey baby."
"What are you doing right now?"

"Watching a movie while the kids are napping."

"Where's Neeta?"

"I gave her the day off." Delia pressed pause on the movie.

"Can you meet at the clubhouse when they wake up?"

"Is everything ok?" Delia was instantly worried. Jax usually didn't ask her to come to the clubhouse in the middle of the day.

"Everything's fine." Jax reassured her.

"Ok." Delia glanced at the clock. "They should be up in about an hour. If it's really important, I'll wake them up now."

"No, let them sleep. I know how cranky Abel gets if he doesn't get his nap. I can wait."

"Ok. I should be there in about an hour and a half."

"Alright darlin'. Enjoy your movie."

"Love you." Delia said when Jax returned the sentiment, she hung the phone. Just as her movie was finishing, she heard Charlie start to whimper. "Momma's coming." Delia called out as she walked towards Charlie's nursery. "How's mommy's little baby." Delia reached in and lifted the baby from the crib. "I think someone needs a diaper change." Delia laid Charlie on the changing table. "Do you want to go see Daddy?" Charlie got a big smile on her face. "You love Daddy, don't you?"

"Mama! Mama!" Delia heard Abel yell. Finishing with Charlie, she lifted her daughter up and went into Abel's room.

"Hey little man." Delia set Charlie on the floor with some toys. As Delia was lifting Abel from his crib, they heard the sound of a motorcycle pulling into the driveway.

"Daddy! Daddy home!" Abel yelled. Delia though so till there was a knock on the door. Delia set Abel in his and put Charlie in there too.

"Watch your sister." Delia went to the living room. Carefully, Delia peaked outside the windows. She relaxed when she saw a familiar bike. "Hey Kip." Delia said opening the door.

"Hi." Kip said, "Jax told me to escort you over the clubhouse."

"Sure." Delia was use to Jax's overprotectiveness. "I'll just be a few more minutes."

"Take as long as you need."

"Do you want any coffee or anything?"

"I'm good. Thanks." Kip said. Delia got the two kids ready. Kip helped her get Abel and Charlie into the truck. Delia waited till Kip started his bike before pulling out of the driveway. When they got to the clubhouse, Jax swaggered out of the garage bay.

"Hey darlin'." Jax said. He helped Delia down before going into the back to grab the kids.

"Daddy." Abel yelled seeing his daddy.

"Hey little man." Jax handed Abel off to Delia before going around the truck to grab Charlie. "How's daddy's little princess?" Jax laid Charlie up on his shoulder. The family of four went into clubhouse.

"Well if it isn't the next Prince and Princess of SAMCRO." Bobby said. He took Charlie from Jax as Gemma grabbed Abel from Delia.

Jax throw an arm around Delia's shoulder. "Let's sneak away while the kids are distracted." Jax whispered into her ear.

"Do you think they would notice?"

"I think our two beautiful children have them distracted." Jax steered her towards the back rooms. Delia casted one more look at her children before following Jax. Shutting the door behind them, Jax framed Delia's face in his hands, pulling her lips to his.

"Mmm, how was your day?"

"Getting better."

"Cheese ball." Delia grinned. Jax sat Delia on the bed. "Mmm a nooner. I like the way you think." Delia wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I'm glad you minds as dirty as mine, but that's not why I called you here. Though, we could squeeze that in."
"So why did you call me here?"

"Happy's in town for the night."

"OK. So you're not coming home tonight?"

"No babe. I'll be home tonight. Happy's here as a favor to me." Jax said. Things started clicking in place for Delia. "I love you. You're the mother of my children. I want everyone to know that you're mine. I want to put my crow on you."
"I would love to have your crow on me." Delia said. She pulled his head down for a kiss. Just as hands were traveling south of the border, there was a quick knock on the door. Jax reluctantly pulled away from Delia and opened the door to reveal Happy.

"Hey man."

"Jax. Delia." Happy sat his bag down on the bedside table. "Ever had a tattoo?"

"No." Delia said as Happy began pulling out his tattoo gear.

"It's gonna be painful."

"I'm sure I've had worse." Delia said. Jax's jaw clenched at the mention of Caleb. Happy pulled out a medium size book and handed it to Jax.
"I drew up a few designs." Jax flipped through the pages, showing them to Delia.

"I like that one." Delia said pointing to a larger design. It was a crow with its wings extended, mouth open in a caw. In its talons, the crow held a scythe with two blood drops dripping off the tip. Inside the scythe was Jax Teller. It was a clear mark of possession to anyone who would see the mark.

"Where do you want it?" Happy asked.

Delia looked up at Jax. "You decide." Jax thought for a second before deciding on where he wanted it.

"Turn over baby." Delia lay on her stomach on the bed. "I want it right here." Jax pointed to the top of her shoulders.

"Alright. Take off your shirt." Happy told Delia. After glancing at Jax, Delia slipped her shirt off, keeping her front facing away from Happy. After shaving the area and wiping it down, Happy placed the outline down on Delia's skin. Lifting it off, Happy looked up at Jax. "Look ok?"

The crow's wing span reached from shoulder blade to shoulder blade. The head of the crow rested on the back of her neck while the talons and scythe reached down to her bra strap. "Yeah, looks great man." Delia jumped a little when there was a sudden buzzing sound before relaxing into the bed. Jax sat up by her head and held her hand while Happy put needle to skin.

Four hours Happy walked back out into the main part of the clubhouse. "Give me the bottle of Jameson."

"She not doing good?" Tig asked

"She's fine. I need a drink." Happy unscrewed the cap and poured himself a shot. "Never seen a tattoo virgin take it as well as she has."

"You always done?" Gemma asked

"I got some shading to do." Happy said before going back into the room. "You still good?" He asked Delia

"Yeah. It's not as bad as I thought it was going to be." Delia took a deep breath before Happy finished the rest of her tattoo.

About fifteen minutes later, Happy sat up. "All done. Go take a look." Delia went over to the mirror and peaked over her shoulder.

"Happy, it looks amazing." Delia's eyes met Jax's. "What do you think?"

"It looks fucking sexy baby. Might have to do you face down a lot more now."

"JAX!" Delia blushed with a laugh. "Before you put away all your stuff. Do you think you could do one more for me?" Delia asked Happy before looking at Jax. "That's ok right?"

"Your body darlin'."

"What you want?" Delia explained what she wanted and Happy nodded. "Sure. Where you want it."

"I was thinking about right here." Delia ran her finger down the length of her ribs.

"Ribs are painful. There right over the body."

"I know. But it's what I want and where I want it." Happy nodded before drawing a quick stencil to show Delia and Jax. About an hour later, Delia and Jax walked into the main part of the clubhouse.

"Let's see it." Gemma said. Delia smiled at her before turning around. Delia had her hair in a bun and slipped the neck of the t-shirt down. Delia turned around and Gemma hugged her. "Congratulations."

"Thanks." The boys all had a shot together.

-SOA-SOA-SOA-SOA-SOA-SOA-

Jax stopped in the bedroom doorway as he took in the sight of his old lady. Delia stood in front of the mirror in there room wearing nothing but a pair of short shorts and her bra. Delia looked up and caught his gaze in the mirror. "Hey." She said.

"Hey." Jax walked over to her and wrapped his hands around her from behind.

"Are they asleep?"
"Out like a light." Jax swept the hair off the side of her neck so he could lay a kiss on her neck. "Mmm you smell good."

"Thanks." Delia smiled. Jax ran his hand down her side, softly grazing over her new tattoo. "It's true you know."

"What?"

"This statement." Delia wrapped a hand around his on her side. In elegant script, across her ribs, Delia had 'That Which Does Not Kill Me, Make Me Stronger'. "He tried everything he could. But I'm still here and I have you and our kids." Her tattoo was her testimony to everything she went through with Caleb. Everything she endured during her time with him, everything she overcame, and all the future problems that might arise.

Jax turned her in his arms. "I love you."
"I love you too." Delia put her arms around his waist. Delia let her arms drop from his waist. "Come here."

"What?"

"We never really got around to that nooner." Delia said grabbing the hem of Jax's t-shirt.

"I think I've created a monster." Jax said unbuckling his belt.
"You love this monster." Delia jumped up as Jax wrapped an arm under her ass.

"You this means your mine forever." Jax said lightly touching his crow tattoo.

"I know. This crow also means your mine forever too."

"I'm not gonna have a problem with that darlin'."

"Good. Now can we have sex? I've been really like really horny since getting tattooed."

"Monster. I definitely created a monster." Jax muttered into her neck as he laid kisses on it. Jax laid her down on the bed when Delia suddenly arched up. "Babe?"

"Still a little sensitive on my back."

"No problems darlin'." Jax flipped them to where he was on the bottom. "This gives me a good view of those bouncing tits."

"Such a romantic." Delia muttered as she straddled his lap.

"You know it."

Just as things were getting heated, a cry broke through the baby monitor. "Damn." Delia muttered into his neck.

"Mama! Mama! Mama!" They heard Abel yell from his bedroom.

"Shh, don't move, maybe he'll go back to sleep."

"MAMA!" Abel screamed even louder.

"I have to go get him before he wakes up Charlie." Delia muttered. She slipped on her robe before making her way across the house. "What's up little man?" Jax rested an arm behind his head while listening to her and their son.

"Mama I scared."

"Scared of what baby? Did you have a bad dream?" Jax assumed Abel nodded because then he heard Delia say, "It's ok baby. Mommy and daddy aren't going to let anything happen to you. Try closing your eyes for mommy, ok?"

"Ok." Abel agreed. Jax didn't hear anything after that till Delia placed Abel back in the bed. "Goodnight baby."

When Delia walked back into the bedroom, Jax was sitting up in bed. "I got a question for you?"

"OK."

"How attached are you to the two cockblockers that are our children?"

"Very and don't call them cockblockers." Delia said as she crawled into bed.

"Darlin' I swear they know when my dick gets in a two inch radius of your pussy." Delia swatted at his chest.
"Did you have a point?"

"Come away with me?"

"What?"

"Just for the weekend."

"I don't know. What about the kids?"

"My mom will watch 'em."

"Jax, I don't know. I've never been away from them for an extended period of time."

"They'll be fine and we'll have some adult time." Jax pressed a kiss the side of her neck.

"Jax…"

"Come on darlin' you know you want to."

"When?" Delia asked

-SOA-SOA-SOA-SOA-SOA-SOA-

"You have both our numbers. If she gets fussy, just give her, her blanket. Abel likes to lie next to her while she goes to sleep." Delia said two weeks later as she passed Charlie into Gemma's arms.

"Honey I've done this before." Gemma said, "Plus it's only two nights." Gemma patted her back.

"I know. I know. But this is the first time I've left them alone…overnight."

"They'll be fine." Gemma reassured.

"Delia, let's go." Jax called from his bike.

"I'm coming." Delia kissed Abel and Charlotte's head. "Mommy loves you. Be good for grandma and grandpa." She kissed Gemma's cheek next. "Thank you for watching them."

"You're welcome baby." Delia went over and climbed on Jax's bike.

"You are so pushy."

"Got you down here." He shot her a smirk

"Do you want to get laid tonight?"

"Love you."

"Love you too." Jax started his bike and drove the highway. "Where are we going?" Jax had refused to tell her where he was taking her.

"You'll see."

"Tell me."
"Sit back and enjoy the ride."

"No, tell me where we're going."

"It's a surprise." Delia slid her hand down Jax's chest to the crotch of his jeans.

"Please baby."

"Not gonna happen." Delia gave a teasing squeeze. "Whoa baby. You're gonna make me crash.

"Oh my bad." She said with pretend innocence.

"Mmhm." Jax drove for another hour before pulling into a long, dirt driveway.

"Oh Jax, it's beautiful." Delia said as she got off the bike. The cabin was made of dark wood, nestled perfectly into the trees, giving the cabin a secluded feel to it. "Where did you find this place?"

"It's Piney's. He uses it when he wants to get away." Jax grabbed their bag. He led her into the main room of the cabin.

"I take it back. Your about to get very lucky." Delia grabbed Jax by his cut. He dropped their bag and lifted her into his arms. "Jax!" She giggled as she slapped his butt. "Caveman."

"I'll show you caveman." He tossed her on the bed.

-SOA-SOA-SOA-SOA-SOA-SOA-

The next morning Delia woke up alone in bed. She stretched, grabbing the sheet and wrapping it around her. She wondered out into the living room of the cabin. "Jax?" Delia didn't get a response. "Where the hell is that man?" She went past the front window just as Jax's bike pulled into the driveway.

"What are you doing out of bed?" He asked when he came into the cabin.

"I got lonely. Where were you?"

"Getting breakfast." Jax held up the bag from a diner up the road. "Now get back into bed." Delia giggled but got back into the bed. The couple ate their breakfast in the bed.

"Mmm thank you for breakfast." Delia said leaning over to kiss his cheek.

"I get up early, get you breakfast, and all I get is a kiss on the cheek."

"You want something more?"

"Hell yeah."

"How about this." Delia gave him a kiss on the lips.

"I think I'm gonna need a little more." Delia took Jax's face in-between his hands and laid a passionate kiss on his lips. By the time they pulled apart, Delia was in Jax's lap. "Marry me."

"What?" Delia sat back in his lap. Jax just grinned at her before digging in his pants pocket.

"I love you. You're the mother of my son and I'm the father of your daughter. Marry me and let's be a family…officially."

"Ok."

"Ok?"

"Yes. I'll marry you." Jax pulled her head down and laid a kiss on her. "Mmm I love you."

"I love you too."

"Show me." Delia whispered against his lips. Jax smirked at her, happy to show her how much he loved her.

-SOA-SOA-SOA-SOA-SOA-SOA-

The next morning, it was Jax who woke up in bed alone. Scrubbing a hand over his face, Jax pushed the covers off his body and sitting up in bed. When Jax didn't hear the shower running, he stood up from the bed. Throwing on yesterday's boxers Jax made his way into the living room. He noticed that the door to the cabin was open and headed in that direction. Stepping into the doorway Jax noticed Delia sitting in one of the chairs.

"Hey." He said softly.

Delia looked up at him. "Hey. Did I wake you?"

"Missed your ass pressed against me." Jax sat in the chair and put Delia in his lap.

"Sorry. The sun was shining and I couldn't resist coming out here to bask in the beautiful sun shine."

"No worries darlin'." Jax said.

"What time are we leaving today?"

"Anytime you want."

"Look; don't get me wrong. I loved these last two days. I really have…but umm…could we leave now? I really miss my kids."

"Put some pants and a bra on and it's a deal." Jax said

"I love you."

Delia pressed a quick kiss to Jax's lips before jumping out of his lap. Jax watched her run into the cabin with just his tee shirt covering her. After getting dressed and packed, the pair was headed back to Charming. Delia held on to Jax as they drove through the heart of Charming, passing the way to their house, and Gemma's, heading towards the Clubhouse. Delia saw several heads lift at the sound of the motorcycle pulling into the lot. As Jax was backing up the bike, Gemma and quite a few Sons came out to see them. Delia practically flew off the bike towards her children. Jax followed his old lady at a slower pace. Jax picked up Abel as the little boy collided with his legs and Delia scooped Charlie out of Gemma's arms.

"Something you want to tell us?" Gemma said pointing to Delia's left hand. Delia brought her daughter to her chest before looking at Jax.

"Go ahead darlin'."

"We're engaged!"
