It took a lot of convincing but I finally got Opie, Thomas and Jax To Agree that the best option would be for us to head to Ireland and look for uncle John.
"How are we going to convince our parents to let us go to Ireland?" Thomas asked as he looked around the table at us.
"Our dad would be a lot easier to convince than your mom" Opie added and Jax shrugged.
"I mean i was going to do this after I graduated anyway. No time like the present I guess. She's going to insist on coming with us though." Jax informs us and I take his hand in mine and give it squeeze. I know this is all to much for him and but I always want to let him know that I'm here for him no matter what crazy adventure we're gonna go on.
"Is not telling her an option?" I ask as I look between Jax and Thomas and they both shrug "We can tell her that were going some place in the states. Maybe like San Diego. We can go for the long weekend we have coming up."
Thomas perks up and shakes his head "No. We can tell her were going to see some friends in Chicago. We still have the old house. We can convince her to let us all stay there. Tell her this is all to much and that we need to think about everything that's happened." Then he looks to me and Opie "We'll tell your dad the truth so he can help us get there cause let's face it, how are we even going to get there?"
Opie grunts and stand up "Let's talk to my dad first we can figure it out from there. He'll help us I'm almost sure of it."
"What exactly is the plan?" Jax asks "I mean. We go to Ireland, we look for our dad and then what?"
Opie sits down slowly as if he thinking of the correct answer bus hasn't come up with any. Thomas is biting his lip and looking at his brother like Jax has the answers and me well. Sure I think we should go find my uncle but we really hadn't discussed what that would mean for everyone involved.
"Ok how about this" I speak up and they all look to me "Thomas you should go see your mom and see what she's Going to say to you. Make it seem like you never met up with us, act like you know nothing about what's going on and opie you go talk to dad and find out more information. Try and find out if it would be a good idea if uncle John was here and what they would do if he was. Jax and I are gonna look threw copies of the bi laws see if there's anything else in there that stops this first son rule coming into play, besides uncle John signing over his rights. Then We can come back here to talk about it come up with a game plan and then bring it to the table about us going to Belfast"
The boys are nodding their head and then Thomas and Opie are getting up. "Got it boss" Thomas jokes.
"You think this is bossy?" Opie snorts and chuckles "Just you wait till we get to Belfast"
Jax looks at me and I just shrug with a smile then watch the boys mount their bikes and ride off.
"We should head out to" Jax turns to me and tucks a piece of my hair behind my ear.
"We have a little time" I tell him as I stand up and drag him with me. "Right now all I want is for us to get on your bike and drive somewhere we can watch the sun set"
"My bad ass biker girl wants to be all romantic?" He laughs and I narrow my eyes as I grip his shirt to pull him closer to me.
"You got a problem with that?"
He reciprocates by pulling me in by the belt loops and kisses me softly "Not at all"
"Then let's go before we miss it."
He nods and kisses me one more time before pulling away and handing me my helmet. "Just Tell me where to go, gorgeous"
"Flattery will get you..." I pause and watch him as he get on his bike and then holds out his to help me get on "Everywhere" I wrap my arms around his midsection and kiss his neck "Flattery will get you every where" he laughs and shakes his head as he fires up the bike and speeds out of the lot.

After about 20 minutes of directing him where to go we pull up to a little park. Off to the right is a small children's playground. My favorite part of the whole place is the amount of willow trees there are. One in particular, stands out and that's where I pull Jax towards.
The willow tree sits on a small hill and has he perfect view of the town below, but what's even better is the view of the sunset that beginning to turn the sky beautiful hues of pink and orange. It's beautiful. I take a minute to look at my surroundings. The twinkling street lights down below, a bird flying to its nest, a little girl giggling on the swing and then finally Jax, taking a seat on the ground, his back braced against my favorite willow tree and I can't help the smile that spreads across my face. In this moment everything's ok.
He looks up at me and smiles "Come sit with me" his smile is almost as beautiful as the sunset and I can practically feel my heart jump start just at the sight of it and as I move to sit between his legs with my back pressed against his chest I realize, that even though the sunset maybe my favorite view, Jax's smile is beginning to take that top spot.
I settle into his embrace as he wraps his arms around me and lean my head back on his shoulder. "Thank you for this" he whispers against my cheek before pressing a kiss to it. "I know today's been a crazy ass day but I like where we are right now"
I smile "I wish you'd stop thanking me. I care about you, baby. A lot. And at the end of it all, with what ever we decide to do with what ever we find out I want us to just...be us. That's why I wanted to come out here." I turn a little bit to face him and say "This Place reminds me that I'm one tiny person on this big ass planet and there are people going threw a lot worse than what we are right now."
He smiles and drops his lips to mine for a, to brief for my liking, kiss "Very insightful Winston" I roll my eyes but smile despite myself.
For the rest of the night we watch the sunset and we even stay for a little longer just talking small talk and share little trivial details about each other.
"We should start heading back, babe" I can already hear the reluctance in his voice and I can't blame him, I definitely don't want to leave our bubble either. Nodding, I stand up with a sigh and wait for him to join me.
Hand in hand we walk back to the bike but before I get on Jax pulls me in front of him and leans his forehead against mine "Promise me that no matter what if things get to crazy, you'll say willow and we can get on my bike and come here. Just to remind us that there are people going threw worse shit than this"
With a smile, I run my hands threw his hair and pull his face down to mine for a passionate kiss before I whisper against his lips "I promise"
The ride back to Charming is tense. I can tell neither one of us want to endure what's to come. As we pass that welcome to Charming sign I can feel it, I can feel the shift, the difference in the air. And somehow I just know...
This was the calm before the storm.
