Notes: I do not own or claim any of the original characters nor the show of Sons of Anarchy. The only characters that are my own is Jamie thus far.

I'm kind of starting to get into Season 2, not so sure about what's gonna happen. Deciding what events to do/leave out. This chapter is pretty much right before they go to Stockton and the whole Dion/Juice thing happens.

Jamie had her headphones in, tank top off, and fingers working nuts onto a bike. Weeks had passed of her not talking to Juice, and she had moved to Tacoma for a break from Charming. Gemma and Clay weren't so happy about that, more Gemma than Clay being angry though. At least out here, she was left alone to work on the bikes and she wasn't dealing with that stupid Arian group that Zoebelle so loved. She was another one of the guys out here, for the most part anyway. Koz even left her alone and last she heard, Happy was off NOMAD again. The boys knew she was here to clear her head so they let her work on the bikes without questions. She did tend to get over absorbed in her work, though, to the point where anyone could sneak up on her. Oh, that boys LOVED that.

Someone tugged her headphone out of her ear and she spun around. "Happy!" She smiled, giggling when he picked her up in a hug. "How was going NOMAD?" She asked gently, watching him.

"Alright," he gave a shrug.

Her fingers caught the patches and she looked at them, quirking her head. "You're SAMCRO…"

"Patched me over 3 days ago," he gave a nod.

"Congrats," she smiled a bit, setting her iPod down before going back to the bike.

Happy leaned against the wall to watch her for a moment before speaking up. "I'm here to take you home, Jamie," he knew his words were not welcome when she growled.

"No thanks, Happy."

"See, I'm under strict order to bring you home willing or not."

She sighed, setting the wrench on the lift and leaning on it. Jamie really didn't want to go back to Charming, not with all of the shit that had gone down since she was here.

"Boss said he has no problem with me being here since I clean up."

"Yeah, well. Clay said you come home, or you come home."

"When do we leave?" She groaned.

"Tomorrow."

"Awesome," she grumbled.

The ride back to Charming had been a long one with a stop off at a hotel in the middle of nowhere Oregon for the night, accompanied by some wild sex. There was no riding with Happy if he didn't get laid, and by no riding, it's meant that he was a bigger asshole than usual.

It was almost 4:30 when they finally rolled into the TM lot, backing their bikes up in the line. Surprisingly she felt happy to be home, even though she had been dreading it the whole way home.

"I still hate you," she said to Happy when he walked up to her.

"That's not what you were saying last night-" he laughed when she punched him in the ribs.

"They must be in church," she motioned to the doors as she sat down with a bottle of whiskey. Happy sat beside her, letting her rest her legs in his lap. They weren't there five minutes before the doors swung open. No one seemed to notice them sitting there until Opie tripped and nearly fell on his face.

"Watch out for the floor, op," Jamie cracked. They all stopped and turned.

"Jamie!" Chibs smiled, meeting her for a hug. One-by-one they got their hugs and Clay kissed her forehead, saying "I'm glad you're home."

"Me too, Jelly," Jax said softly, hugging her again.

"Aren't Tig, Bobby and Juice missing?"

"Ran up to check Cara Cara."

Jamie nodded with a soft sigh, having heard of their venture into the porn business. She loved Luanne dearly, and Otto too, but porn was a little too weird for her.

"Any requests for dinner?" She piped up, giggling when the boys lit up as if they had been offered tons of candy. There were too many questions and answers all at once for her to really get what they wanted. As soon as they shut up, she said "So, Lasagna and Chicken Alfredo?"

There was a communal 'hell yes' so Jamie set to cooking for her boys.

They were almost done eating when three weather beaten brothers walked in. Jamie dropped her fork and grabbed a stumbling Juice with Chibs' help, Jax grabbing Tig and Opie helping Bobby. Jamie pulled Juice's cut and shirt off, checking the scratches on his chest with a sigh.

"God damn Mayans, man. They came into our land and tried to run us off the God damned road," Tig snapped, watching Chibs check him over.

"Roughed us up a bit," Bobby's voice seemed so small.

"They shot at us too, I went off road but just hit some bushes," Juice shrugged.

Chibs shook his head, saying something about Jesus Christ and Apostles and Mother of Christ or something.

"They're in our borders," Jax growled.

"Jax, Opie, Happy. Go do a patrol. Don't go near Cara Cara, you hear?" Jamie watched as a very road tired Happy filed out the door behind the other two. This is when she felt the worst for the boys.

"This is gonna hurt, Juice," she pressed an alcohol filled swab to one of his worse off cuts, beginning to scrub it clean. Juice winced, closing his eyes and tensing as he dealt with the rather annoying sting.

Between Jamie and Chibs they had the boys cleaned up and comfortable in no time. Clay handed Jamie a gun, grumbling, "Do you have your knives?"

"Always," she nodded.

"Keep watch here. Call if you need us. Killer!" Tig looked up. "You've got Killer 2 here to help." Tig just nodded, obviously ready to fall asleep.

"Love you, Pops."

"Love you too, Jamie." With that, Chibs, Clay and Piney left.

Jamie didn't stop pacing as the storm outside intensified and the hours drug on. There hadn't been any calls, no texts, no word of what was going on. Tig, Juice and Bobby were sleeping so Jamie kept bouncing around to entertain herself.

"Jamie. Sit down." Juice's voice was so filled with exhaustion. Jamie looked up at him, sighing as she saw how run ragged he looked.

"Not until I get word," she shook her head.

Juice sighed and slowly stood, pulling Jamie into a hug. "They're ok. And welcome home."

"Yeah. A great welcoming," she grumbled, almost melting into his chest but he stumbled a bit. Jamie forced back onto the couch with a blanket. "Sleep." He didn't protest to that and Jamie went back to bouncing around.

Her phone finally went off at 2:07 am and she answered it.

"Yeah?"

"Everyone ok there?" Opie's voice made her smile a bit.

"Fine. You guys?"

"Well. Jax, Happy, Sack and I had a run in with the Mayan's but we're ok. Clay and them are ok too."

Jamie breathed a sigh of relief, nodding to herself.

"We're on our way back now. Wait up for us?"

"Of course, Opie," Jamie hung up and was relieved they were all ok. The other three were still sleeping comfortably, Tig mumbling something about dolls and Bobby was snoring away. She didn't relax, though, if anything she bounced around more until the roar of bikes hit her ears. In walked a very soaked through Clay, Chibs and Piney so she set to work warming them up. Dry shirts, blankets and some coffee to warm up those cold, road tired bodies. It was almost 3:30 when the other four came in, Opie limping heavily with the help of Happy.

"I slid off the road, hit a really slick spot on the highway," Opie stood so Jamie could check him out, wincing when she pressed her fingers into his hip.

"You're ok. Bruised but ok," she nodded before setting to warming them up. None of them took the coffee, they just crashed on the couches and pool tables. Her boys were all dozing quietly wrapped up in their blankets, hair dripping with the rain water. There were all so tired looking even as they slept in their various, and sometimes awkward, positions. These were boys and despite all hell breaking loose within two hours of her being home, she was glad to be back in Charmingtown.
