Lexi stared at the sign in front of her car. Shaking her head, she grabbed her bag from the passenger seat. Gemma stood in the door way of the office and walked out as Lexi got out of her mustang and looked at her.
"Good to see you again Mrs. Morrow." Lexi said as Gemma got closer to her.
"Hello Lexi." Gemma said as she stared at her. "Thought I had bad memory huh?"
Lexi just shook her head as she looked around the garage.
"Have a seat by the pinic tables, I go get our slightly retarded child." Gemma said as she headed towards the garage.
Without watching Gemma any further, Lexi walked over towards the tables and sat down as she watched garage only a few feet away buzz with life of drills and people talking.
"Over there." Gemma said whispering to Juice who looked over in Lexi's direction. "Don't screw up."
"I won't momma bear." replied Juice as he walked away from her.
Lexi stood up the moment she saw Juice coming towards her.
"Hello Mr. Ortiz." Lexi said looking at him as they shook hands. "I'm Lexi Kennedy, I'm handling the case for your daughter Ava and son Gabriel."
Juice nodded at her as they sat down while Gemma walked back over towards the office and sat down in a chair by the door leaving it open.
"Mr. Ortiz I am aware that you went to family services and asked about some paperwork that would allow you to transfer your father rights over to your friend Filip Telford along with his wife Jordana Telford." Lexi said as Juice nodded at her. "Could you explain to me why you want to choose that option for your children?"
He looked at the garage then looked back at Lexi who had a pen in hand.
"I am not sure how to raise two kids alone." Juice replied looking at her. "I mean, I love my children don't get me wrong but Jade was there to do everything. I mean I helped but she always did it. I just think that with Jordana and Chibs they'd have a better shot at growing up with reasonable parents. They have three already and doing a damn good job."
Lexi wrote down a few things and looked back at him.
"Mr. Ortiz."
"Juice. Strange but I'd rather be called that."
All she did was nod at him and put her hands together in front of her on the table.
"Juice, can you sit there honestly 100 percent tell me you want to hand your children over to your fiancee's family?" Lexi asked Juice looked at her. "Or are they the ones who want you to do this? Are they the ones who believe that they would be better off with them instead of their biological father?"
Juice shook his head and put his hands together on the table close to hers.
"They don't have a clue that I asked about those papers." Juice said looking at social worker. "I can't handle raising two children right now. I just lost the woman I loved and looking at those children every day would remind me of the life I was suppose to have with them and their mother. With Chibs and Jordana having them, I know that they would be taken care of and I could see them whenever I was ready. I know they wouldn't keep me from them."
"Are you sure about that?" Lexi asked with a raised eye brow. "Are you sure that if you were to sign those papers and they were given full legal custody of them they wouldn't go back on their word?"
Juice shook his head at her question.
"They aren't like that. Jordana is one of the few women I trust with my life." Juice replied looking at her. "She is a great mom and a great aunt. Her husband is a wonderful guy like a father to me. I couldn't ask for better people who would do this if I asked them to do this for me."
Lexi grabbed the pad and started writing.
"I want to gather some more information from you if that is ok?" Lexi asked looking at him. "I want some information about your family history. If you could give me some of Jade's as well it's be great. Her sister wasn't the best person to deal with."
Juice nodded at her for a few seconds before seeing Gemma standing in the doorway of the office looking at him.
"Hi." Jordana said looking at Chibs as he walked through the back door of their once happy home.
He only nodded at her as he walked through the living room towards their room to gather more of his things to take back to the club house.
"Are you going to speak to me? Or are we going to do the silent treatment thing?" asked Jordana as she followed him down the hallway.
"Does it really matter what I have to say to you?" Chibs asked as he was throwing things into a bag. "I can be civil with you for the sake of the kids but right now? I don't want to say something I'll regret. But I do have a question for you, why did you marry me if you wanted Jackie boy?"
Jordana looked down at the floor for a few seconds before looking back up at him.
"I don't know honestly, I mean I didn't expect it to happen." Jordana said with a shrug. "I went to the club house for a routine call and the next thing I know I'm in bed with him and I'm sorry!"
He shook his head and looked at the picture next to the bed that was a picture of Brandon, Brianna, Kerrianne, Jordana, and himself. Looking back at her, he sighed and took a deep breath. Sitting down on the bed he had touched in few days, Jordana walked further into the room and stood in front of him.
"Do you love me?" Chibs asked just above a whisper.
Jordana looked a him with a raised eye brow.
"Do you love me Jordana? Or was it a lie?"
Getting down on her knees in front of him, Jordana caused him to look at her. Grabbing a hold of his hands she stared at him.
"I love you with my whole heart, I wouldn't lie about something like that." Jordana said as he just stared at her. "You gave me children Filip, you gave me a life I wanted. A family with a lovely husband. You want to know why I slept with Jax after that one time?"
Chibs was unsure if he wanted to know the answer but nodded his head anyways without speaking a word.
"Because I was scared." Jordana said as he looked at her with a confused look. "My feelings for you are so strong that they scare me. I know that I sound like some teenager in high school. I mean come on. I had a crush on you for years. Jax was my first love and the only guy I truly cared about sexual wise. Til you came along and god knows the sex is amazing."
He shook his head as she got up from her spot. Standing up from the spot on the bed he looked back at the bag then quickly pulled out a set of papers.
"You actually filed?" Jordana asked as she took the papers and stared up at him with a hurtful look in her eyes.
"It doesn't matter what you say or do Jordana." Chibs said nodding at her. "I know that you'll always have Jax in the back of your mind and you always wondering what might have been."
She looked at the papers in front of her with shaky hands as he started putting things into his bag.
"So your bailing on me?" Jordana asked with a low voice. "On our family?"
Tears started to slowly form and fall down her cheeks slowly as he stood up straight from packing the bag and grabbing the handles.
"Not me, you." Chibs replied as she stared up at him with already red eyes. "When you slept with Jackson, you bailed on our family."
Before she could reply, Chibs walked out of the bedroom leaving her standing there looking at the papers with tears running down her face.
"Are you sure that's all you know?" Lexi asked as Juice nodded at her. "When I return to the Telford home I'll see what Doctor Telford can tell me about her family history."
Juice nodded at her as he noticed Tig standing in the garage looking at him.
"If we are done, I really need to get back to work." Juice said nodding towards the garage.
"Oh yes, that is fine go right a head." Lexi said nodding at him. "It was nice to meet you Mr. Ortiz, I mean, Juice."
He nodded at her once more before getting up from the table and headed back to the garage. Gemma looked at him as she walked past him over to where Lexi was gathering her things together.
"Did he pass Lexi dear?" Gemma asked looking at her.
"I can't really say yet, I mean he gave me all the answers to the questions without thinking twice about them." Lexi said as she put her back on her shoulder. "I just need a few more things before I make my choice on rather the children will stay where they are with Doctor Telford and her husband or with their father or in foster care."
Gemma raised an eye brow at her.
"Foster care?" Gemma asked as Lexi nodded at her. "What makes you think they would be better off in foster care? They have a whole family support system here. Sure we aren't blood but we are a family."
Lexi took a deep breath and looked at Gemma.
"If somebody would've came and put me in foster care I know that my childhood would have been better." replied Lexi looking at her. "But hey, nobody came to my resuce so I'm coming to their rescue."
Gemma shook her head as Lexi walked towards her car as Gail's Honda Civic pulled up causing Gemma to cuss under her breath.
"Where is that pig headed son of a bitch?" Gail asked as she slammed her car in park scaring Lexi who was almost hit by the car. "Where is that son of a bitch wants my company in the divorce?"
"Calm down, that is the social worker." Gemma said eying Gail who got out of her car. "Go sit in my office now and I'll bring Tig to you."
Gail without another word knew better to question the older woman's order and walked off leaving Gemam and Lexi alone in the lot.
"And you say these children would be better off here?" Lexi asked as she threw her bag into her car. "I highly doubt that."
Without another word, Lexi got into her car and drove off the lot as Gemma walked to the garage.
"Tig go talk to your wife before I kill her with my hands if she just cost our family our children." Gemma said with a hiss.
