Delta chuckled on her bed as she watched Tiggy try to maneuver on the air mattress. Every time he tried to turn the slightest bit, the air mattress would nearly fold in on him, nearly knocking him off onto the floor. His pillow would flip over underneath him and his blanket would tangle in his legs, causing him to readjust on the air mattress all over again. "I told you that the mattress need more air."
"I need a real bed. That's what I need." Tiggy retorted before collapsing onto his back and giving up on getting comfortable. "You should be sleeping anyway. You have a big day tomorrow. Never thought I'd see you marrying a club member if I'm being honest."
"You're not the only one." Delta smiled, looking at him over the edge of her bed. "There are just some things you can't help."
Tiggy clasped his hands behind his head, gazing up at the ceiling. "So, why did you decide to even go out with Ope if you knew you didn't want to be with him? Isn't that what women do? Date so they can find their future husband."
Delta giggled. "I agreed to go out with him for the same reasons you are nice to girls. I wanted to fuck him." She ran a hand through her hair, turning onto her back as well. "I don't know when it changed. One day, we were sneaking around. The next, he's pushing through with his divorce so we can be together."
"But, he didn't get divorced the first time he and Donna split." Tiggy stated, a frown taking over his features.
Delta sighed. "I made him go back to Donna." She bit her lip, closing her eyes just thinking about the last night her and Opie were together before he left to go back to his wife and kids. "I certainly wasn't ready for a serious relationship. That's all Ope wanted. He still loved Donna, and she wanted a normal husband. They had kids together. I couldn't destroy a family. I was still in high school with not a clue as to where I was going."
Tiggy yawned, stretching out and closing his eyes. "How did you two get back together after he left Donna for good?"
Delta smiled. "Talking about crow eaters." She let out a small chuckle. "Honestly, I could talk to him about anything. I don't know if it's because we grew up together or what, but I don't hide anything from him. Well, not anymore at least. We've seen each other at our bests and at our worsts, and I'd rather spend my time with him on his worst days than with anybody else on their best days."
She looked out the window beside her bed, seeing the moon shining down on the front lawn below. "I don't know what I'd do without him, and that scares the shit out of me. I've never been a person who needed anyone around to just be there, but, even now, I can't wait to see him." She sighed. "Have you ever felt that way, Tiggy?" When she didn't hear anything from him, she peered over the edge of the bed. "Tiggy?"
Tiggy hummed softly before a loud snore erupted from the back of his throat, causing Delta to giggle into her pillow. He turned on the mattress, his pillow flipping over into his arms before he hugged it to his chest.
Slipping from her bed, Delta snuck out of her bedroom and headed downstairs to get away from the noise. She knew what his snoring was like during her nights at the clubhouse. Sleeping a foot from him would only prove to be useless. When she reached the bottom of the staircase, her eyes darted towards the kitchen lights showing Gemma sitting at the small table. She slowly padded over. "What are you doing?"
Gemma looked over her shoulder to see Delta in her pajamas. She gave her daughter a small smile and gestured to the seat beside her. "What am I doing? What about you? You're the one getting married tomorrow. You should be asleep. The bride doesn't need to have bags under her eyes."
"Tiggy set up camp in my room. There is no way I can sleep soundly in there." Delta chuckled before sitting down beside her mother and seeing the photo albums spread out on the table. "What are these?"
"Memories from when I was your age. . .and a little older." Gemma smirked before tilting an album to show Delta. "That's the day I met your father. He didn't know I was sleeping with JT yet and nearly begged me to go up to his room."
Delta laughed before she pulled on another album. "How fitting. This is your wedding to Daddy."
Gemma smiled fondly at the pictures. "I was pregnant with you then. About four months I'd say. Couldn't tell then though." She looked back to the album in her own hands. "I looked like an elephant when I married JT."
"Well, I guess we can say I broke one family tradition." Delta smiled. "I'm not pregnant for my wedding."
"Which I'm happy about. I don't think any little girl out there dreams of being pregnant at her own wedding. I know I didn't." Gemma stated before gazing over at her daughter. "How are you doing with everything?"
"With which everything?" Delta asked. "With Hale everything or with the wedding everything."
Gemma shrugged. "Pick one."
Delta smiled and closed the album in her hand, pushing it aside gently. "Never thought I'd be excited to marry a biker." She rested her arms on the table, leaning against it. "As long as Hale doesn't show up, it should be a great day. As much as I'm against the idea of bailing right now, it will be nice to have a break from this drama for a week or two. I think Ope mentioned something about riding to Vegas for a couple days."
"That sounds like the perfect trip for you." Gemma said with a small smile. She brushed back some of Delta's hair. "I didn't think it'd be this hard. I've always wanted you to have your own life and have some of the experiences I've had. Now that it's here, it's a hard pill to swallow. Not that I don't love Opie. My God, he's like another son to your father and I."
Delta slid her hand into Gemma's and nodded. "I know what you mean." She shrugged with a small chuckle. "But all these years, you've worried about me leaving Charming and never coming back. Now, you're never getting rid of me."
Gemma laughed and pressed her forehead to Delta's. "You'll still find a way to make it out of Charming. We won't all be here forever. You'll come back, but I know you won't stay here. Even I didn't stay here. I left and came back with an army of bikers. Knowing you, you'll come back with a team of attorneys who can get the club out of trouble."
"It's not a half bad idea." Delta shrugged.
"You're smart like that." Gemma whispered before kissing Delta gently. "I know you'll do right by the family and right by the club, no matter where you are." She caressed Delta's cheek before pulling back. "C'mon, we need to get some sleep tonight."
Delta pointed towards the living room. "I'll probably crash on the couch. Tiggy will keep me up all night with his snoring if I go back upstairs."
Gemma stood from her chair and held out her hand. "I'll join you."
