"Mama! Mama!" Shouted the twins flying at Jez when she came in the room. Jez caught them in her arms and kissed the tops of their heads. "Yes, yes Mama's here. Were you good for Grammy?" She asked them. They both nodded eagerly. "She mad at you Mama," Skylar told her. "Real mad," Ayden added. Jez frowned. "Why don't you go play with Daddy?" Jez suggested. The twins held on tighter shaking their heads. "Angel can I talk to you in the kitchen?" Fallon called from the kitchen doorway. She didn't look happy. "Menace, Mayhem go get Daddy. Grammy and I have to have a grown up talk," Jez told them. Reluctantly the twins let go and Jax picked them up. "Let's go play with Daddy's bike," he told them taking them outside. Jez took a deep breath and headed into the kitchen.
Fallon stood in the middle of the kitchen arms folded across her chest a huge frown on her face. "Thanks for watching the twins," Jez offered. That set Fallon off and all Jez could do was stand there. "What on earth were you thinking Angel? Taking off like that, twice! You have two kids now. You scared them. And what if you didn't come back? What if something happened? You went in with no back up, no story. You're well known to the other clubs. You're lucky they didn't recognize you. At least Jax was going in with a story. And Jax! He'd never admit it but you scared him half to death. No idea where you were going with little protection, dressed like that!" Fallon yelled. Jez sighed. "I'm sorry Fallon. I'll be more careful in the future. But Fallon I'm in the club and don't plan on changing that. It's a risk every time I walk out that door," Jez pointed out. Fallon took a breath seeming to calm down. She closed her eyes and leaned back against the counter. "I know. And I'm not trying to change you, I've given up on that. I just wish you would think things through some more sometimes instead of just acting," she sighed. Jez smiled. "Can't do that Ma. I'm my father's daughter," she replied. Fallon gave a small smile. "Yeah, you most certainly are. You're a piece of work Angel," she said going over and hugging Jez. Jez laughed. "Just think about how the twins will be," she said. Fallon rolled her eyes. "Oh they're already bad enough. And probably shouldn't be playing on a motorcycle," Fallon pointed out. Jez shrugged. "They'll be on their own bike sooner or later."
Fallon left and Jez and Jax were playing on the floor with the twins when the doorbell rang. Jez looked over at Jax. "We expecting anyone?" She asked. Jax shook his head. Jez looked at the twins. "Hide," she whispered to them. They flew over to the closet and opened the door. They looked back and Jez nodded and they continued in. Jax looked at Jez and she nodded pulling her shiv out. Jax went over to the door and opened it. "Took you long enough," Joby said on the other side of the screen door. "Just a little over protective?" Justyn asked beside him looking at Jez's shiv. She sheathed it and heard the closet door rattling. "Watch out chaos is about to occur," she warned hearing the twins arguing too excited to perform the simple task of opening the door. Justyn and Joby quickly stepped inside and Jez opened the closet door. "Uncle Joby! Uncle Justyn!" The twins yelled tumbling out the door but quickly getting up and flying full force at Joby and Justyn. Joby caught Ayden while Justyn caught Skylar. "Yes, yes easy now. So who's excited to be two tomorrow?" Justyn asked looking at them both. "Me! Me! Me!" The twins shouted bouncing around. Jez rolled her eyes. "If you both don't relax tomorrow wont come," she warned them. They both froze and starred at her mouths open in horror of the idea. Jax started laughing and shook his head. "Don't listen to your mother, you'll have your birthday," he assured them. Smiles reappeared on their faces as Jez raised an eyebrow at Jax and her wings ruffled slightly. "Don't worry Mama. We still listen to you not Daddy," Ayden assured her. "Mama's always right," Skylar added. Jez looked at them with an amused frown. "Traitors," he mumbled. They just stuck their tongues out at him.
Joby and Justyn were on their knees trying to teach the twins how to fight. Jez was in her room cleaning and sharpening her shiv. Jax was at a dealing. Jez was sheathing her shiv satisfied with it when she heard Ayden from the living room. "Ouch asshole!" She yelled. Jez sat their for a minute frozen. "Quit being a bitch!" Skylar shouted back. "Crap," Jez mumbled to herself then went to the living room. Joby and Justyn were sitting back on their heels trying to suppress smiles and laughter. The twins were on the floor a tangle of limbs and wings. "What's so funny?" She asked the two men hands on her hips. Justyn grinned. "They're their mother's children alright," he replied. "In attitude and mouth," Joby added. Jez gave them a sarcastic look then cleared her throat. "Ayden Alexa and Skylar Neil Trap," she said sternly. Immediately the twins stopped scrapping and jumped up to their feet. "Yes Mama?" Ayden asked. "Where did you learn those words?" Jez asked them. "You Mama," Skylar replied. Jez frowned. "I never said bi, I only said one of those words," she replied catching herself. Joby chuckled catching it. Jez shot a glare at him then turned back to the twins. "We learned bitch from Connor and Brice Mama," Ayden pointed out. Jez rolled her eyes. "Great," she sighed. She bent down and got down on their level. "Okay you two listen and listen carefully. First never ever listen to Connor or Brice unless Mommy or Daddy say so. Secondly those are grown up words and are off limits. Understand?" She asked. Both nodded obediently. "If I hear that out of your mouths again no birthday tomorrow and you'll be one for a whole other year," she threatened. Ayden squinted at her. "No we wont. Daddy said we'll still have a birthday," she replied smartly. Jez frowned while Justyn and Joby broke out in laughter. "Go play with Uncle Joby," she told her. Skylar came up to Jez and tugged on her sleeve. "What's up Menace?" She asked him. He leaned in and whispered in her ear. "I believe you Mama. I'll behave," he assured her. Jez smirked. "Alright baby, go play with Justyn," she replied kissing his cheek.
Jax came home after Jez put the kids to bed. She was putting bows on the furniture boxes. "Nice wrap job," he commented pulling his sweatshirt off. Jez threw a discarded bow at him. "You can do better?" She challenged. Jax smirked. "Nope," he replied going over and giving her a kiss. "You'll never believe what the twins said today," Jez told him satisfied with the bows on the boxes. "What?" He asked curious. "Asshole and bitch," she replied with an amused smile. Jax looked a little confused. "You've never said bitch around them though my guess is that they got asshole from you last night," he replied. "That's what I said. Apparently Connor and Brice taught them that one," Jez informed him. Jax shook his head. "Wonderful," Jax said sounding sarcastic. Jez nodded. "Oh well I told them it was a grown up word and if they use it again they wont have a birthday. Which Ayden replied with Daddy said it wasn't true," she said raising an eyebrow at him. Jax shrugged with a winging smile. "That's my girl."
Before they got into bed after Jax had taken a shower he looked over at Jez. "Justyn is going to be late tomorrow," he told her. Jez raised an eyebrow at him. "Oh really? Why?" She asked. "Club business," Jax replied matter of factly. Jez's eyebrows pulled together in thought. "He didn't say anything about it today while he was over," she pointed out. Jax rolled his eyes. "He didn't know about it then. Kail was talking to him when I left the bar," he replied making a face at her. Jez stuck her tongue out at him. "I don't see why Kail had to make it tomorrow. It's the kids birthday," she complained as Jax crawled into bed. He kissed her cheek. "Because club business never sleeps. Don't worry about it. Kail's given his word that Justyn will be there," he assured her. Jez stared at him. "I don't know how don't ask me just accept it," Jax said before Jez could ask any questions. She frowned. "If he doesn't show up I'm taking it out on Kail," she told him. Jax nodded with a smirk. "Yes I told Kail that and he is well aware. Since you'll be yelling in one ear and Ma in the other."
