A/N: Sorry it took so long to post. Writer's block and had lost my edge do to some haters and it made me not want to write. Anyway Enjoy!

~Two Months into the Fourteen month sentance~

It had been two months since Valerie Lowman witnessed her brother, stepfather, and husband get carted off to jail. It had been hard. She spent all of her time either with Tara and Abel or she would drive all the way to Happy's sister's and stay with her and her husband.

She also drove Diana to her and Happy's mom's in Bakersfield alot. Also add on the fact that while her mom was on house arrest Valerie had to run the garage. Though she liked being busy. It made the time go by so much faster. She was broken out of her thoughts when she felt someone put an ice cube down her shirt.

"What the shit! That's cold!" Valerie exclaimed as she looked and saw her older sister laughing at her. "Rane Quinn you're Ol' Lady is about to get it!" she called to the current acting President of SAMCRO.

Rane Quinn was actually the President of the Nomad charter, but with most of SAMCRO in Stockton they needed bodies and all they had were prospects. Currentlly it was only Chibs, Piney, and Opie. Kozik was the SAA of Tacoma and he had been trying to patch but Tig wouldn't get his head out of his ass. And then there were the prospects. Phil, Rat, and Miles.

Valerie didn't trust Miles one bit. She mentioned that Phil may be overly polite and nice, but he gets the job done and Rat was the same way. Okay she was only an Ol Lady, but with her father being John Teller she was often asked to share her opinions.

Valerie didn't mind one bit. Besides she spent more time at her apartment than before. She knew because Clay was locked away. She was safe. Valerie was broken out of her thoughts by her slightly older sister.

"Get off me ya feckon prick!" Looking over she saw Miles putting the moves on Trinity.

"Hey asshole back off and leave my sister alone. She's an old lady to a patch, more importantly the acting President of SAMCRO and the President of the Sons of Anarchy Nomad charter." Valerie snapped.

"Sorry, but she is just so hot!" Miles said as Kozik punched him in the face.

"Clean the bathrooms asshole." said Kozik. "Hey Val how are you doing?' he added wrapping his arms around her and hugging her. Valerie was fine with it because she knew how much her husband loved and trusted Herman Kozik, his best friend.

"I miss my husband Koz. I know I have you, Trin, Diana, Lyla, Tara, Opie, and Piney I just feel alone at times though." said Valerie.

"Hey what is college like? I want to still be in the porn business, but ever since getting together with Opie I want to be off Camera and be a director or studio owner like Luanne or both. Come to find out I need to take classes in film, producing and business." said Lyla.

"If you embrace it, it can be fun. Though challenging. Studying and making the grade is no joke." said Valerie.

"I can vouch for Val on that one. Though I was studying to be a doctor. It's hard and you really have to study and give the effort. Though I did party on the weekends. I would go to a couple of frat parties and in medical school in Chicago I went to some get togethers. Then I met Josh and he hated me going out with my friends and got jealous and just showed his true colors as the abusive prick he was." said Tara.

"Lyla if you want to get ahead and take it a step forward you can do it, but it will be hard. I remember Freshman year in my dorm on a Friday night studying for a major test." said Valerie.

"Two a.m. study sessons. Man I remember those." said Tara. "Though it's not boring living in the dorms." said Tara.

"My dorm was at the SAMTAC Clubhouse. I guess mom feared for my safety so she set me up there. Though I was safer away from here, you know the story on that one. Anyway Freshman year I was in my dorm wearing short black cottton shorts and a green middrift top. I had my door open because the heat was cranked all the way up and I was hot. It was January and I was studying for a major test. Now Freshman year is a weed out year and I was determined not to be weeded out. Anyway I was laying on the queen sized bed in my dorm with my headphones on studying at 3 in the morning and I hear: WELL IT'S FORTY BELOW AND I DON'T GIVE A FUCK, GOT A HEATER IN MY TRUCK AND I'M OFF TO THE RODEO! Kozik was drunk off his ass singing rodeo song." said Valerie.

"Oh shit too funny!" said Tara as Lyla and Trinity laughed.

"I wanted to stay in Tacoma all the time and do one class after the other until I graduated and not come home because, well the reasons I got my own apartment when I was eighteen." said Val. "Mom wanted me to come home on breaks and see her. Though I did tell a little white lie a couple spring breaks. Happy knew all about them. Freshman year I came home, Sophmore year I went to Lake Havesu, Junior year I went to Vegas." said Valerie.

"I don't regret anything. College, medical school, or my residency at Chicago Prespitaryan. My only reget is Josh. Now I love my job, and I love my friends and my future sister in law." said Tara.

"I love you too Tara. So you want to stay at my apartment or do you wan to head over to my Happy's sister's, and crash there for the night?" Valerie nor Tara hadn't been alone since Jax and Happy were arrested.

They either stayed in Happy and Valerie's apartment, Happy's sister's, Opie and Lyla's, or Jax and Tara's.

"Lets stay at my place tonight. Also can it just be the two of us? I have something to show you." said Tara.

"What is it?" Valerie asked.

"Some letters were sent home with Jax from Belfast from Moureen Ashby." said Tara.

"I got some letters also that were sent home to me. I'm gonna need a five liter box of Chardonnay for this one I have a feeling. Lets go to your house and order a pizza or two. Can Lyla come?" asked Valerie.

"Lyla this all stays between the three of us. Not a word to Opie." said Tara.

"I promise."


The kids were in bed and Tara brought her letters and Valerie brought hers. "Okay we'll switch you can read Jax's and I can read yours and Lyla can read a letter when we are finished. Abel is crashed and won't be up till eight in the morning. We've got wine and snacks." said Tara.

"Okay. Damn I'm nervous." said Valerie.

"Sounds good. Thanks for letting me in the loop." said Lyla.

"There is only one missing and that's Diana, but I don't want to invlove her yet." said Valerie as she began reading letters from her father.

Tara looked at the letters sent home to Valerie. John really loved both his daughters Valerie and Trinity.

Valerie sweetheart I know you have been through hell and put through the ringer in life and in Belfast. Please know your father, know the truth. I'm not mad about the fact your mom is Conner Melone's sister. Gemma is a hard arse, power hungry bitch.

"Okay I really wish I could drink after just reading the cover letter." said Tara.

"Why do you think I spend all my time at Diana's or in Bakersfield?" said Valerie.

My Dearest MO,

I talk about Jax, Gemma, and Clay all the time, but i haven't forgotten about Trinity and now little Valerie Grace Teller. I don't know whose idea it was for me to let my daughter be raised by Gemma. I get Conner protecting his reputation. I mean an Irish King with a sister who is a Madam in Stockton. I fear for her and Jax. Trinity she had you and your brother to keep her out of the harshness of the life. Valerie I feel will be the punching bag for Clay and Gemma and an vulnerable target for enemies cause she so trusting.

Dear Mo,

Clay tried it and I faked my death, but I cannot tell you where I am. I am constantly worried about Valerie and Jax. I don't want them going down the wrong path, but with Valerie she's only safe with the club. Jax can take off and do what he wants, but Valerie is vulnerable without it. She needs an organization to keep her safe and protected. I just hope she gets it.

Dear Mo

I'm fucking scared. I just have this fatherly feeling that something just isn't right. I fear for the safetly of my youngest child and I just have this feeling that fucking piece of shit Clay is abusing her. Your brother is telling me to stay put, but I want to fly to California and put a bullet in his fucking head.

My Dearest Mo

After having years of fear I'm glad to say that Valerie left home for college. Yes it's in Tacoma and she will be staying in a dorm at the SAMTAC clubhouse, she'll be safe and protected. I hope she never comes back to Charming and never comes near Gemma or Clay again.

My dearest Mo

Valerie found someone. She met him cause his dorm was next to hers. This is what people have been telling me. He is so nice to her, respectful, and Valerie is falling and falling hard. Hopefully she finds her one in this one.

"How did he know everything?" Tara asked.

"The Irish Kings. No wonder why mom didn't care and was always hurting me. I wasn't hers. I'm the daughter of some whore who just happens to be the sister of an Irish King." Valerie got up looking for something stronger than wine. Pulling out a bottle of Jack Daniesl she fixed herself an extremely strong Jack and Coke.

"I'm sorry that your dad knew the entire time what was happening and he didn't do shit about it." said Tara.

"I just wish I could put a bullet in Clay's skull. It's all in here. The affair, John's affair with both an IRA Shot Caller and a King's sister, but also Gemma's affair with that shitbag as the phone rang.

"Hello," said Tara. "Shit is he okay? Alright I'm on my way, and I'm bringing his sister and his best friend's fiance." she said hanging up the phone.

"What happened?" Lyla asked.

"Jax was shived by the Russians." said Tara.

"Shit lets go. You're driving none of us can." said Lyla.

"Let me call the club to see about an escort." said Tara.

"Screw it that's my brother lets just go!" said Valerie. Tara had insisted that they wait for a club member to escort them to Stockton. Valerie then took all the letters, hers and Jax's, and put them in Happy's safe. Tara drove them back to the club to get Kozik, and he escorted them to Stockton.


"Jax!" Tara was a scared to death.

"I love you Tara, and I love you Valerie, and Lyla I love you too cause you make Opie very happy. Jax fell asleep then all doped up.

"Shit. It's about to get bloody with the Russians." said Valerie.
