Opie loved taking care of his kids. He hadn't been able to be there for his oldest and he had missed five years out of his other twos lives. He wasn't going to make a mistake with these two. No more jail time for him. The first two months of their lives was more than enough for him. He was determined to keep himself going and stay off police radar. Staci walked into the room with her son in her arms. She lay him down to change him. He was fussing about it. She changed him as quickly as she could and scooped him up. He calmed down as soon as she was standing up again. Opie stared at his wife.
"How the hell do you do that so fast?" he asked.
"Practice," she grinned.
He shook his head. He knew she was right but he needed the extra practice to catch up to her level of quickness. She stared at him. He changed Carsyn but not before she peed on the bed. Staci laughed. He rolled his eyes.
"At least that wasn't with him, cuz you would be wearing the pee instead of the bed dear," she laughed.
"Very true. I'll get a prospect to deal with all this," he said.
"Whatever you gotta do babe."
They walked back out to the bar area. Opie looked at the newest prospect.
"Go change the sheets on my bed," he said.
The kid looked at him funny. He gave him a look and the kid shot down the hall. Opie sat back down on the couch. Tig had just walked into the bar. He looked at Opie.
"Hey brother," he said.
Opie rolled his eyes. Things hadn't been the same after the whole Donna situation. Opie was fairly certain if it hadn't been for Staci he would have ended up dead. He had virtually lost the will to live for months after Donna died. Finding Staci gave him a chance to find himself again and fall in love with her all over. He had missed her and moped for years after he had come back to Charming. Finding her again made it all worth while. She was staring at him, trying to read his mind. He smiled.
"What are you thinking?" she asked.
"How lucky I am to have been able to find you twice," he said.
"I came with baggage both times Op."
"I don't care. I have you and no one can change that."
"Yes they can, Op. You know that just as well as I do."
Opie shook his head.
"Over my cold dead body," he told her.
"Some of them are willing to do just that," she said.
"I don't care. I would be willing to take that risk just to know you are here now."
He sighed. She smiled. He leaned over to kiss her. He didn't feel the guilt with her that he had felt with Lyla. He knew that Staci was just waiting to deal with Lyla now. She was going to do it and there would be no stopping her. Opie didn't want to stop her. He was just as pissed that he had spent 7 months in prison and missed the first two months of his twins lives. Jax was willing to let her deal with it anyway she seemed fit. She was just waiting now. She was letting Lyla think that she was safe before she made her move. She wanted to catch her off guard.
*1 month later*
Staci was satisfied that she had given Lyla a false sense of security. She left her babies with their father and grabbed Gemma on the way. Gemma wasn't too certain about this one so Staci dropped her off to help Opie with the kids. She went alone to find Lyla.
