Chapter 45: The New Normal

A few weeks had passed since we had been to Dublin. I made it to 34 weeks and all the furniture had made it to Kaylee's house. The twins had also made it past our 32 week mark we were aiming for and Tig and I couldn't be happier. We knew every week they lasted inside of me, the healthier they would be when they finally made their grand appearance. With it being October 4th, it felt nice outside. Today Tig and I were going to start decorating the twins' nursery and we were going to keep the window down for the fresh Dublin air. Tig and I decided to just paint the walls with motorcycles and butterflies. We didn't want to go all out like we had in our house because we didn't know how long we were going to be here. Tig and I took our time painting the walls and we even added a couple of rainbows and dinosaurs. The nursery looked a mess but we liked it. It fit perfectly with our little weird family.

After we had the walls painted we left it to dry and moved to the living room to sit with everyone. Abel immediately reached out for me to take him out of Jax's arms. Jax shook his head softly before saying, "Damn, Reba. You've just got my kid wrapped around your finger don't you?" Tig laughed at his comment as Jax continued with, "Keep on Tig. I'm going to have Alec wrapped around my finger and we'll trade kids."

Tig moved to stand by Jax before saying, "I have a feeling Alec is going to be a mama's boy. He's probably going to be obsessed with Reba the minute he comes out. He already fights for her attention over Skye."

Chibs shook his head before saying, "Oi, what do ye mean he already fights for attention over Skye?"

I smiled at my brother before saying, "Sometimes whenever we're lying in bed at night, I'll be able to tell which baby is where. They already have such different mannerisms. Anyway, I'll go to rub where Skye is at and Alec will literally try to move over to where my hand is. Eventually I just have to caress my entire stomach so Alec will settle down."

Happy smiled from where he sat beside Kozik and said, "Girl, he's definitely made for this life isn't he?"

Rubbing my belly in contemplation I say, "Only if you guys try to go straight. I'll support him no matter what, but I would be more understanding about it if you guys went straight and Skye had an opportunity to join as well."

Wendy squeezed Jax's hand before saying, "Jax has decided he wants to get SAMCRO straight. It's going to be tough trying to get the other charters to do it, but we figure he starts with SAMBEL since we're here. He's already been talking about it and Keith seems to be okay with it which is always a good sign."

Gemma leans into Nero's side as she says, "I'll be happy to see JT finally got his wish and SAMCRO reformed." Gemma smiles to herself in thought before saying, "I never told you this before, Jax, but your dad had this grand idea to begin working with the law. He wanted to form a partnership with them. He figured it was the safest way for SAMCRO to survive for years to come. He never wrote about it in his manuals because he was scared Clay would find it." Gemma paused for a moment before saying, "When we get back, you need to talk to Piney. He and Keith were the only ones of First Nine who wanted to think about the long term aspect of the club."

Kozik finally chimed up saying, "If Piney believes it; how much do you want to bet Opie believes in it too. He's not smart enough on his own to take down Clay, but I bet you he'll be more than happy to help you take him down. He's a follower not a leader and there's nothing wrong with that. It just happens sometimes."

Kaylee spoke up saying, "You need to think about who will help you so that way you can target each person individually to get them following your cause."

Jax thought for a moment as I chimed in with, "Well we obviously know we can trust everyone in this room, Uncle Bobby, Piney, Opie, and Marcus. Everyone else is a wildcard I think."

All eyes turned to me as Tig said, "How did you put that together?"

Smiling a big smile I say, "I'm nobody. I don't get noticed. It kind of works in my favor though. I can easily observe without being suspicious."

Tig leaned down and pressed a quick kiss to my cheek as he said, "God I love you, Reba."

Squeezing Tig's hand I say, "I love you too." Turning back to the room I continue with, "We know Major is bad obviously. He's the reason I almost lost the twins. I can't prove it, but I feel like Clay is working with him. I don't know how else he would've known I was in Charming."

Chibs interrupted me and chimed in with, "Aye, and ye can bet if Clay is working with Major, then Unser probably is too. I never could stand the sight of that old man."

Gemma asked next, "Do we know about Juice?"

Chibs quickly said, "I sponsored him so I would hope he wouldn't act like them, but I can't say for certain."

Happy shook his head before saying, "I have a feeling we're divided half and half and I just don't understand why this all happened."

Feeling a chill go down my spine I say, "He wants me. We know he wants me." I chew on my lip for a moment before I say, "As soon as I deliver the twins and it's safe for me to leave them, we lure him out. We lure them all here. Maybe get Marcus to go in and hold down the fort while we lure everyone else here."

I was met to a chorus of people screaming no at me. The saving grace in my situation was Wendy. She speaks loud and clear for the room to hear, "Stop treating Reba like she's some fragile girl. She said when it's safe we just lure them all here. It's smart. As soon as their here, we can get her back into safety. We literally have the numbers here if we are going to pull this off. SAMBEL is backing us up. We know every secret there is to know here. We can pull this off. I know we can."

Tig tries to speak up with, "I am not putting the mother of my children in danger. I don't care how safe it is. We'll find some other way to do it." Tig looks at me and says, "You're not doing this, Reba."

Jumping off the couch I say, "Are you guys seriously forgetting that I am a big girl and I can make my own decisions. I lost T.O. for my first ultrasound. I have been through hell and back. I am going to do this. We are going to do this. I didn't say let's just jump into this crazy plan of mine. No I want us to plan so there is no chance any of us could get hurt."

Being the first to come to mine and Wendy's side Kozik says, "What's your plan then, Reba. Talk us through it."

Smiling softly at Kozik I say, "We reach out to Marcus and Uncle Bobby first and foremost. We let them know when I'm going to make my first appearance publicly in Ireland. I'll have someone with me. Maybe Kaylee if she's up to it. Then it just takes a little bit of time for Clay to reach out to Major. Major will more than likely confirm that it's Kaylee and let him know I'm around SAMBEL. He's going to get pissed but it'll be okay. Then he'll coordinate to get himself here. With any luck he'll bring along some of the people there who are completely and irrevocably on his side."

Tig ran his fingers through his hair before saying, "It's too risky, baby. What if he's already here? What if he doesn't recognize Kaylee? There's too many what if scenarios with your plan."

Ravi finally speaks up saying, "I'll go with them when it's time to make her appearance. He'll definitely recognize me. He'll probably get pissed I'm with someone else now. We can also make sure someone from SAMBEL is spotted in the same picture." I move to hug the man who had become my dad as he says, "Just promise me you'll carry a gun on you at all times in case he is already here or something."

I nod my head softly as Ravi kisses my forehead before I say, "I know how to negate him already finding out I'm here." Curious eyes turn to me as I continue with, "We make a fake shoot. We pretend like Tig and I have moved on to Florida just until after I deliver. Then I came back so Kaylee could meet my babies since she's Chibs' mum and Ravi's new partner. It's believable."

Happy chimed in with, "I don't think it should be Florida. There's literally no hiding your bump now, Reba. So the minute you post pictures, you're going to have Clay tracking you down because you've been pregnant all along. He's going to be fucking livid. And you can't fake a shoot from early on, because Major will know something is up. He felt how pregnant you were at the water park he should have a general estimation. He'll probably put you further because even though you weren't but 23 weeks pregnant, but you're bigger than a singleton pregnancy because you're carrying twins. There's a definite size difference between twins and singles. I agree with Tig. I think it's too risky. And don't you send me your death glare."

Thinking for a moment I say, "Well, what if we use some pictures we have from before I was ever showing. That way Major thinks he succeeded in causing a miscarriage and Clay never knows. Best of both worlds. What if we Photoshop the picture in somewhere?"

Nero speaks up with, "I know I don't know the situation as well as everyone else, but what if we Photoshop the picture in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. He thinks y'all are in Dingle right? Dingle isn't that far of a jump from Paris in retrospect. It's how far?"

Kaylee informs the room, "It's 18 hours from Dingle to Paris. But that can be a weekend trip honestly. A lot of people do stuff like that since Europe is so small in general."

Nero nods his head at Kaylee and continues with, "Alright so, we take some proper pictures of Kaylee kind of dressed like you and Tig. We also need to get a picture of Chibs since he should definitely be there with you three."

Chibs speaks up with, "Aye, so me and mum can dress similar to they did. Then we need to take a picture together and find someone who can piece the three different things together."

Happy chimes in with, "Alternatively, we can just drive to Paris and have someone Photoshop Reba's belly out." Everyone just looked at Happy as he laughed and said, "What I have good ideas sometimes."

Jumping up as quickly as I could with my bump I say, "Alright. I'm packing my bags and we're doing this. I've always wanted to go to Paris."

Jax shakes his head slightly at me before asking, "Who else is going with you for protection in case something happens?"

Happy jumps up from the couch saying, "I'm going. I flew out with them. It's a smart idea to take a couple of selfies with Reba for her page too."

Wendy nods in agreement with Happy as she says, "Take one or two people from SAMBEL too. Just make sure they know not to wear their cuts and make sure it's someone Clay has never interacted with."

Gemma nods her head and directs towards Jax, "Go and ask Keith if they can have a couple of prospects and one member. It'll be a good test for the prospects. He can see if they work on protection duty."

Jax nods his head at his mom and says, "Alright. I'll go and ask Keith now. I'm sure he'll say yes."

As Jax walks out of the house Gemma stands up from her spot and with her hand out says, "Alright. Those of you going to Paris, hand over the cuts now please. It'll be better not to bring them at all." Tig, Happy, and Chibs all walked to their respective bedrooms as Jax came back inside from his phone call with Keith. Gemma looked over towards her son and asked, "What did Keith have to say?"

Jax sat back down before saying, "Keith wants to go, but I had to convince him not to because He's the most recognizable SAMBEL member. He's sending his two most trust worthy prospects and his Sergeant at Arms. Clay has never met his sergeant, so he figures it's the most responsible person to send with the prospects. He's making them go ahead and bring him their cuts to."

Gemma nods her head at Jax as the three boys come back into the room with their cuts in hand. Each one of them hands Gemma their cut as she says, "I suggest you guys start packing. I say you book the train, ferries, and hotel tonight. You guys can leave tomorrow. I'll take you to the train station. Remember take lots of pictures. Try to keep Reba's belly out of the pictures. If not we'll Photoshop or crop it and look out for one another." We all nod at Gemma and move to our rooms to pack as Gemma books the train to take us from Belfast to the water where we'll get onto a ferry to cross over into Britain. We'll get a bus to take us to London followed by a train to take us all the way to Paris. It would've been easier if I could've flown, but we weren't hopping on another plane until after I had the twins.

I know it's been two months, but at least I didn't wait another six months to finish and upload this chapter. I hope you like it still. I have mapped out the rest of the story in my brain and I have figured out there are only 7 more chapters and an epilogue to go. If you guys have stuck with me this long, thank you. If you also read Happier, I've been doing a little bit of work on it. I've got a Doctor Who fanfiction in the works and 2 Twilight fanfictions in the works. I'm also now writing a book and that's a process in itself. My sister and I are also working on a combined book and that's part of what has taken me so long to get this chapter out. I promise we are finishing this story and Happier. I still have the Facebook page up and it's actually been published now. The page is Dream-Searcher and the numbers for that url are 106782314312703. I can't figure out how to do the thing where you type it and it doesn't go anywhere. Anyway. I do hope you guys enjoyed and thank you for sticking with me on this journey.
