Clair went to bed that night feeling peaceful. It totally helped getting out for the day and talking to the one family member, her dad's sister, who knew what she was feeling what what she was going through at the moment. Plus she got closer with Donna, and with Donna so on the fence about the club she needed just to get out for a bit to regroup.
Ellie and Kenny loved Aunt Diana's pool and the two swam the entire time the adults were laying out and visiting with one another.
Clair had fallen asleep in her husband's arm after a round of love making. They didn't talk about her getting physical with him, but he never brought it up. Though he was no stranger to throwing hands in the ring with whatever brother pissed him off at the time. Though he would never ever lay a hand on a woman unless he was in danger aka his life was on the line, and it was kill or be killed.
The next morning she woke up in her husband's arms and the two made love once again, and as the two were laying in post orgasmic bliss when Clair brought it up. "Happy I'm so sorry I hit you yesterday. It was so wrong of me. I was just pissed off, and you know the reasons why, and I just lot my shit after you tried to get in between me in the punching bag." she said.
Happy leaned over and held her passionately kissing her on the lips. "I understand baby. You were stressed and you totally lost it. You are not abusive. You just boiled over because of shit that's not your fault. I know that once again your past is bothering you, but trust me. If you were out of line I would be the first to say something and verbally put you in your place." he added.
"I'm sorry, and I love you." said Clair.
"I love you too Clair Teller, my beautiful wife." said Happy as the husband and wife began making love once again.
Happy was on the phone with Lee, President of the Tacoma Charter, Clair was playing pool with Tig, Chibs, and Bobby were at the bar, Gemma was on her laptop, and Clay walked out of the chapel.
"Well Stahl tried to get us all, but she didn't, and it looks like she has nothing so she has to go home. We are free of the ATF ladies and germs!" said Clay as they all cheered.
"Well now that you are in a good mood I want you take a look at this for Jax's house." said Gemma.
"What the the fuck? The prospect can do this for a lot less." said Clay.
"Abel is going to be home in few days, and I want it all good for him." said Gemma.
"CLAY COPS!" Juice yelled slamming his laptop shut as the door was kicked in and agents stormed in pushing everyone on the ground. Clair hit the ground in order to avoid confrontation, and to show she was cooperating.
Stahl walked in with a smirk on her face as she grabbing Bobby slamming his face on the table. "Robert Munson you are under arrest for the murder of Brennan Hefner." she said.
"WHO?" Bobby faked not knowing who the hell she was talking about. Clay was the first person to talk.
"I'll call Rosen. You just sit tight Bobby!" said Clay as Stahl kicked him.
"HEY, WHAT THE FUCK!" Clair yelled as she got kicked, and then Gemma yelled out.
"FUCKING BITCH!" she yelled as Stahl kicked her too.
"Manners darlings manners." said Stahl leaving with the other agents.
"Cock sucking fucking bitch!" Otto ranted. Clair got up and walked over to Gemma to help her up. Despite what all she had heard and seen about the matriarch she felt the need to help the older woman out. She got the life she had stumbled into, and besides her dad's sister she needed a mother figure. Luanne would have been fine, but she didn't have any kids.
"CHAPEL NOW!" Clay hollered across the room. All the sons went inside, with Happy pausing to embrace his wife giving her a passionate kiss on the lips. Gemma saw it and remembered the comment she had made at Funtown about how she wanted her marriage to be when she was their age.
"Are you okay Gemma?" asked Clair.
"Yea. I'm fine. No thanks to that fucking bitch Stahl. How are you doing. Bitch kicked you too." said Gemma.
"I took much worse from my ex. It was just a love tap compared to him. Though Stahl is a bitch though trying to suck up a dry well." said Clair.
"I love that baby girl. I'll have to remember that one." said Gemma as the two Ol' Ladies began cleaning the clubhouse while the Sons were in the chapel. Though it was getting heated because they overheard a couple things.
"There were only two others at that hit. Ones here and ones in jail, and the other is...," Clair heard her uncle.
."DON'T EVEN SAY IT!" Jax exploded.
"Calm it little brother. I have to agree Opie is no rat." said Happy
"The only reason Opie ain't here is because he doesn't know about it. My son is no rat." said Piney.
"No he isn't. I spent yesterday afternoon with Donna and the kids, and let me tell you something Gemma they are not rats. We went to my dad's sister's and swam in her pool with the kids and Veronica showed up also. I have a feeling Stahl is going to do something to make my hot headed Uncle, and your stubborn ass husband do something stupid!" Clair ranted to Gemma.
"Okay I got Clay, and you got your uncle. Though let your Ol man on what you are doing because before everything he's your number one. I agree I've known Opie his entire life. He is no rat, and neither is Donna." said Gemma. The two women embraced as the sons came out of the Chapel.
Clair told Happy what was up, and he gave the okay. Though it turned out that Juice had found out that ATF had paid off most of Opie's debt, and had him in a WITSEC house in Stockton. Mary had shown up bitching about it.
Clair was stressed as hell as she fixed herself a triple shot of Bacardi 151, and Orange Pineapple Juice in a tall tumbler with ice. Happy told her that Tig and Clay were convinced that Opie was a rat, but Clair figured that Stahl would set him up and make him look like a rat.
Though without any proof all she could do was wait. Otto took her aside once again and said that he was afraid for her if she ever crossed Clay, and that he would protect her no matter what. Though a phone call could've revealed a dark secret.
"Oh shit I need to take this. Excuse me." Otto said as he walked out the door. It was like everything was about to come out before he knew how to deal with it. Okay Otto and Allson were together, and then she went to Nashville, and was with this Douge Stevenson. The truth was all Douge wanted was someone to share his life. He was a orphan. Allson on the other hand was the twin sister to Alexander Trager.
Otto Keith Delaney was the the brother to Diana Diaz Alvarez, and the biological father to Clair Trager-Teller. In a nutshell Doug Stevenson was mentally retarded and sterile, and Otto was having problems with his wife at that time. He made a mistake, but Clair was no mistake. That was why he had took her aside. Clair thought Diana was Doug's sister, but wrong he was Otto's sister.
"Now isn't a good time sis." said Otto Delaney.
"I'm sorry I just wanted to call to see how you were doing. I love you, no matter what shit gets thrown our way." said Diana.
"Sis I am fine, and I miss you. I'm so over all of this shit on my end. Should we tell Clair the truth? I feel bad for lying. I guess my fatherly instincts pulled her aside and caused me to voice my suspicions on shit. I don't' want to get into it since you are married to the Mayan Prez." said Otto.
"Don't let Clay know the truth. He will take advantage and exploit the fact you have a daughter who is not only connect to yourself, his right hand, and now the Mayan President. Yes he knows that already, but you. He almost put you in jail. I wouldn't put it past him to try to do it again. Listen maybe you and I should tell her together along with her husband, and best friends Veronica and Donna." said Diana.
"It's like being so tight with her husband's cousin in college, and being roommates was like pushing her into our world. Like it was meant to be." said Otto.
"Well it's up you, my husband, and myself to protect her. Yes her husband is a good man, but I worry about him siding with Clay. Jen already swears he killed her brother John. She has a lot of hatred in her, but doesn't extend it to her daughter." said Diana.
Clair had no idea about the family secrets. All she cared about was Opie, and she embraced him when he came back. Though Uncle Alex found bugs in his truck and in his phone. Clair insisted that it was all a set up by that ATF bitch Stahl. Problem was Tig didn't believe it, and thought that Opie was a rat. He influenced his President. Clay Morrow.
It was Abel's homecoming party and everyone was having a good time. Otto and Luanne where just being that cuddly couple. Piney showed up, and Clay joked about giving Abel his first beer.
Wendy was there also since she was waiting to get into sober living. Clair was glad she was trying to get her life back together. Maybe she could know her son in the future if she would just kick the damn drugs.
Happy had his arms around her waist and was just kissing her neck as she had her turn holding Abel. She loved her nephew so much, but she hated what her ex took from her so she had anger. She looked over as Tara kissed Jax in front of everyone. Clair shook her head. Highly inappropriate. What was her deal?
Otto told Luanne about his daughter and sister, and Luanne loved him so much she accepted it and stayed with him. He had helped her go from pornstar to porn producer. Now they were just watching their daughter, Otto's, with Happy who has been nothing but a great husband to her.
Seconds later Tara was storming out and Juice as asked to escort her home. Then Opie and Donna were getting ready to leave, but Donna wanted to stay and help clean up. Clair offered to drive Donna to the store.
Opie ended up taking the kids in Donna's car, and Donna wanted to take the truck so she could lay down and rest in Clair's lap because she was tired, and she trusted her new friend. Plus the truck had a bench seat, and she figured that why not have a little cat nap.
Clair smiled as she watched Opie and Donna embrace as she kissed Happy as he opened the driver's side door of Opie's truck for her before helping her in the driver's seat kissing her again before shutting the door. "I'll hang out here with Jax till you two get back." Happy told her.
"Okay see you in a bit. Love you." said said Clair kissing her again before starting the engine.
"Love you too." said Happy as Donna got into the truck waving at Opie and Happy before laying her head down on Clair's right leg.
Tig had left he party a bit early to get his stashed car. He would have taken the rat out during the gun/cash exchange with the Mayans, but when he saved his life he couldn't go through with it. Now Clay told him to make it ghetto and gangster so he jacked a gangster SUV, and came back to Jax to watch for Opie's truck.
He sat and waited as he watched Donna's car go one way and Opie's truck go another. Putting on his mask he followed the truck.
Clair pulled up to a stop light, and she accidentally braked a little hard because, a dog ran ou in front of her, and her cell phone slid off her lap and onto the floor. Leaning down shots rang out and she felt a bullet graze her upper arm as she protected her head along with Donna's as glass came flying in from the shots.
When the shots stopped Clair raised her head and saw a black Range Rover that had pulled up beside her, and in the driver's seat was a guy with a mask on. She could read his lips. Oh shit shit shit was what he said, like he knew he fucked up. He was after Opie, and it was mistaken identity because Opie and Donna traded cars so Opie could take the kids home.
Clair grabbed her right arm feeling the blood seeping through, and even though the guy had a mask on she saw the eyes. She knew those eyes, and at the moment she felt like she died. Her heart shattered into pieces. She felt betrayed by her mother's twin brother.
"DONNA! DONNA!" Opie yelled.
"I'm fine babe. I was laying on Clair's leg so I wasn't hit or anything. Though if Clair hadn't dropped her cell phone she would have been killed. She got a graze on her upper right arm though." said Donna feeling shaken up.
"I'm glad both of you are okay. Some son of a bitch was after Opie and saw the truck, but instead went after his best friend's sister in law, and his wife instead." said Jax hugging them.
"Shit babe you scared the fuck out of me. That was a close one. I'm so glad you are okay, and so thankful." said Happy clinging to his wife.
"Mrs. Winston, and Mrs. Teller. Do you have a minute to tell me what happened?" David Hale asked. "Mrs. Teller do you need an ambulance?" he asked.
"Happy will take me to the ER, and it's minor so I'll be fine." said Clair.
"Alright ladies can you tell me what happened?" David asked.
"Clair was driving us to the store to get some detergent to help with some cleanup after Abel's welcome home party. I was tired so I broke a minor law and laid my head on Clair's thigh and took a little cat nap. Next thing I know she breaks and is leaning down to get her cell phone, and shots rang out. She covered my head and leaned down, but she caught a graze in the arm. I didn't see anything. I waited until I was sure the person was gone." said Donna.
"Okay thanks. That is very helpful. Clair Teller what happened?" David asked.
"i came up to the light and accidentally braked a bit too hard because a damn dog ran out in front of me, and the light went to red. I had my cell phone in my lap so when I braked it fell to the floor. I leaned down to get it, and that's when the shots rang out. I got hit in the arm, just a graze, and I just stayed down and covered my head and Donna's. When the shots stopped I lifted my head, and I saw a black Range Rover beside me, and I saw this guy with a ski mask. The windows were down and I heard him yell oh shit before he sped off. I have no idea who he was." Clair lied about not knowing. One she wasn't a rat, and second despite it all she still loved her mom's twin brother, and that was why she was so hurt by everything. Third she knew it was all Clay. Yes Tig insisted that it had to happen, but it was all his best friend. She just knew it.
"Okay we have enough for now. Stay local." said David as he walked away. Seeing June Stahl the good deputy lost his shit and got right up in her face. "I told you shit would go down if you did this. Now two innocent women were almost killed tonight, and one was shot."
"Hey back off!" David punched the ATF Agent in the face fed up with Stahl's shit. As much as he wanted to hit her, he didn't hit women. Donna left with Opie on his bike, and Happy drove Clair to the hospital in Opie's truck before driving them back home. He had no idea the whole story, and Clair and Donna's story was the same to the club as it was to the cops.
Though Happy knew something was up the way his wife cried herself to sleep after sitting at the clubhouse bar hitting the wine hard. Plus she laughed when Tig slammed his head into a mirror. Something had gone down and Happy Lowman Teller was determined to find out what it was.
A/N: I didn't want to kill Donna so I changed it up a bit.
