Ava groaned as she rolled over in her bed the next day. She had one day left before she had to be back at work, and she had more unpacking to do. She aslos had to make a trip to Stockton to sort out her little brother.

What the hell was going on? She had gotten a text from his girlfriend Emily saying that she needed to tell them both something, and to meet her at Stockton. Ava had so many balls up in the air that she was tempted to just roll over and go back to sleep. Though she was the responsible one out of all three of Marisol Winston's children. It was as though Ava was the oldest instead of the middle child at times.

Getting up and taking a quick shower she threw on jeans and a t shirt along with a pair of comfy sneakers. Leaving the master bedroom she took a peak in the guest room and smiled as she saw her Uncle sound asleep. Something was going on with him, and he just wanted to be around his family. She wasn't going to pry, and she was going to let him have the spare room as long as she wanted.

Laying down a note saying that she had to go to Stockton, and a spare key on the nightstand she left the room and went downstairs. She saw Happy crashed on the couch and Kozik on an air mattress with a comforter on both of them. Ava saw the open box and figured that the other two Sons helped themselves the night before. She didn't care. Ava trusted them both in her home.

Leaving two more spare keys for the sleeping Sons and a note saying she had shit to take care of in Stockton she left the house and locked the door behind her before she got into her Nissan and drove off.

In between texting Alex, and keeping some of the girls in line Lyla was doing overtime at the studio. It hurt alot loosing Luanne. She was like a mother to her, and a friend. Not just a boss. Now Jax was the one in charge, and all of the actors made the decision to do double time on the sex cams to help Jax out. Lyla had no idea where Ima was though. She was always a selfish bitch!

Gemma knew that Jax had gone to see Otto to tell him about Luanne. She knew that the poor man was heartbroken, and decided to drive to Stockton to see him also. Even though they had a weird friendship, Luanne was her best friend. Hell one of the only females, besides Tara and now Lyla, that she tolerated for long periods of time.

Grabbing the keys to her Escalade she left Clay a note and walked out of her house and got into the car and took off.

For Jax it was one clusterfuck after another. First Ima, Christy, and Camille were busted for prostitution. From what Ima told them someone paid them each ten grand to help out Darby so Darby could say he got some high end pussy. They just had to say that Jax put them up to it which was a total lie.

The Sons would never work with Darby or allow hookers in Charming. Leaving them in jail instead of bailing them out Jax went back to the clubhouse. Clay was waiting for him, and the first thing he did was get on to him about the porn studio.

"After that shit with Darby, and some of the girls we are shutting down Carcara. Thats it." said Clay.

"That is bullshit. Carcara is our only income besides TM." Jax shot back.

"We got another gun source. The Chinese are going to be our distributors." said Clay.

"And where are these guns coming from?" asked Clay.

"Humas." said Clay.

"Humas? That's what your putting our future on?" Jax said in disbelief.

Hitting the redwood table in frustration Clay looked at Jax straight in the eye. "SAMCRO deals guns. You had your run in porn. It got us tied into prostitution, and got one of our Ol' Lady's killed. Shut it down!" said Jax.

"It's a legitimate business." Jax argued.

"So is car repair, but that doesn't make my skin crawl. Shut it down." said Clay.

"This is bullshit." said Jax.

"Wanna know what's bullshit? A brother whiltering away in Stockton because his wife was killed. If we hadn't got into porn then it wouldn't have happened." said Clay.

"You really wanna lay the guilt of a dead wife on me? Well by just a stroke of luck we may have had another dead wife, but that would have been your fault." Jax fired back.

"You remember what I said if you mentioned Donna or the incident again?" Clay asked.

"Yea. Here I'll make it easy for you." Jax took out his gun, and handed it to Clay before turning his back to him. "I'm right here, do it." said Jax.

Clay shook his head and put the gun down on the table. Jax grabbed the gun back and put it back in his holster. "You need a vote to shut Carcara down. It won't happen. Just because you cant jerk it because of your arthredic mitts doesn't mean the others will vote to shut Carcara down. Go fuck yourself Clay." Jax walked out going to the bar and pouring himself a shot of JD before slamming it back.

"Jax you are right. It won't ever pass. The guys spend most of their downtime there anyway, and with Tig seeing Lyla. It'll never pass. Just relax and calm down. You and Clay are too hotheaded for your own good." said Bobby.

Walking into the visiting room Ava took a seat beside her brother's girlfriend, and in front of her brother. This was something that was coming for awhile, and Ava only hoped that she could talk some sense into her brother before he did yet another stupid thing he would regret later.

"Thanks for coming." said E.

"Okay little bro what do you need to tell us?" asked Ava.

"I want you all to forget about me. Angel certainly did and so did dad. Please don't come see me in here again. I just don't want to see anybody. Also Emily you have your entire life ahead of you. You got accepted to Stanford college, and I want you to go, and find someone else.

"So just like that you get to make all the decisions about our future?" Emily fired back.

"Charming is only an hour away from here, and I'm not going to turn my back or stop visiting my baby brother. We all fuck up and make mistakes, and I want to hold on what family I have left. I have no parents. We just lost mom, and well my dad died in crash years ago." said Ava.

EZ slammed his fist on the table causing the guards to look their way. Not caring he just snapped at both his girl, and his older sister. "I killed a cop. I'm looking at twenty to life. I don't want you guys to wait on me. Live your lives and fucking forget about me. Also Emily I'm sorry, but this has to end. You have a future ahead of you instead of waiting twenty years for me to get out. If I get out." he said.

Ava was about to argue when Emily beat her to it. Pulling some papers out of her purse she threw them down in front of him. "Okay so you just fucking made your own decisions without talking to me? Well guess what I'll fucking make my own decision on this then since you are saying it's over!" she snapped before storming out as both Ava and EZ looked at what the papers were. EZ was a daddy, and Ava was about to be an aunt for the second time.

"You are the biggest fucking idiot I have ever seen in my life. If you weren't in jail right now I would punch you in the fucking face." Ava got up and chased after Emily as EZ got his grip, and started yelling for her.

Gemma Teller Marrow was feeling overwhelmed with how sad Otto was when she came to see him. He had left the visitors table crying. Gemma had tears in her eyes also grieving for her best friend. She was broken out of her thoughts by a commotion.

"EMILY EMILY, EMILY!" A guy was screaming at the top of his lungs as a young girl ran out, and an older woman in her twenties chased after her while the guy was yelling one of their names. "NO STOP EMILY!" the guy screamed in pain as the guards grabbed him and threw him on the ground before carrying him off.

"Assholes." Gemma muttered cussing the guards.

Emily ran out of the building crying and Ava followed her right out. The older woman pulled the seventeen year old girl into her arms as she sobbed. "It's okay. It will be alright." said Ava.

"No it won't. Diana would never allow me to live with her pregnant. She is a selfish bitch even though she gave birth to me, and all she wants is what will benefit her. Besides EZ doesn't want me or this baby." said Emily.

"Come live with me in Charming than till you go off to Stanford. You got a full scholarship, and I'll help you raise him or her till my little brother gets his head out of his ass. I have a nice little cabin, and I'm sure that I can get you a job. You know what since you are good with numbers I own a business, I can see about you doing the books. How does that sound?" Ava asked.

"Are you sure? I mean even though I'm no longer together with your brother, but you are being very generous." said Emily.

"We have all been dealt shitty hands. It's all in how we overcome them. So yes you are welcome to come stay with me." said Ava.

"Thanks." said Emily hugging her as Ava walked Emily toward her car. This was a new beginning.

It was yet another middle of the day sneak off and shag in the storage closet in her store with the man she had a beautiful daughter with, and a man she had loved, and been with since she was nineteen.

Their time was unique, and what started out as an affair turned into true love. She was what his wife wasn't. Tough yet tender, and had a heart, and wasn't out to use anyone for her own agenda. She was real.

Maybe it was the fact that her older brother walked such a fine line of two very extreme sides of the man. IRA Shot caller, and priest. It was his idea that John Teller faked his death, and then came to Belfast to start over. At least until they could figure out what to do about Clay and Gemma.

Both the IRA, and SAMBELL where sworn to secrecy, and all that Clay and Gemma knew was that Maureen Ashby was married to McGee the President of SAMBELL. That was just the cover story to all the other charters. On paper John Teller was John Ashby, so as far as the legit side of Maureen's brother's career there was no sin. Only the adultery over twenty years ago.

A/N: A little bit of a Belfast twist. Hope you enjoy!
