Samantha woke up in a pool of sweat. It was another nightmare. She was scared for her life and didn't know how to tell anyone. She rubbed her face and looked under the covers and saw she was still dressed for the most part. Jax was asleep next to her. Rubbing her face again she turned the clock to her it was four am and she wanted to go home. She didn't want to give him hope for something good and for this to become personal. Sammie crawled out of the bed finding her stuff on the desk. She didn't want to wake him, but she knew she needed to go before this went further. Samantha was already regretting what she was going to have to put him through especially on the next gun deal with the IRA And Jimmy found out She was back home. Samantha smiled at him sleeping like an angel with his son's name tattooed on his peck. She wondered what would be there if it was her. But she had to stop those thought no matter how bad she wanted them to be real. She jumped to get in her jeans and didn't bother with her shoes. Samantha just wanted to go before she made thing worse then they would become later down the road. As she creeped out the door she noticed a couple girls and a biker on the pool table and a few laying on the bar. She just shook her head and it felt like the old days when she had to sneak home when she was staying with her brother Jacob. She got to her car without anyone noticing and she knew she was in the clear. She left her head lights off till she got to the main road and speed off to her house. Though she didn't want to be there either especially with Tara living behind her. The two girls use to be friends and use to be okay with Sharing Jax till Tara got Jealous because Jax tend to Give Sammie more attention. But that is when it all changed. Sammie became distant because she didn't want to be hurt but she was still was. Pulling into the drive she headed right for the front door. But when she got to the steps there were rose petals at the door and pink roses and a letter. Samantha got scared and quickly took them inside. She knew who they were from but was scared to find out how he knew. She put the Roses on the counter and locked her doors and made sure the security cameras were working before she hopped into the shower and get some sleep in her own bed. But Her dreams wouldn't escape her anytime soon. Plus she had to adjust to her life now in Charming. The morning came peaking through her window and her phone was going off It was David. He was calling to check on her. She rubbed her face from under the pillow and said "It's too Early." David was at the park on a jog and wanted to make sure she made it home and not into her case or Jackson Teller's bed so soon. David said "Just wanted to make sure you were still alive." Sammie stuck her hand out from under her blankets and grabbed her watch it was nine am. She grumbled and said "I am fine I am home. Nothing Happened. I did sleep it off at the clubhouse. No I didn't sleep with him also why are you calling me so early." pulling her head from under the pillow.

David laughed at her and said "Thanks for that clarification. your boss called me this morning and Parker will be here monday and you mark in Vega's is looking for you." Sammie Groaned and said "I know I came home to roses and I know they weren't from Jax." as she stretched and grabbed her phone. David sat down on a bench and said "Are you ever going to tell me about that?" Sammie crawled out of her bed in her thong and a baggy hoodie and said "Maybe when this case is over. But I can't risk something happening to you because of how deep i am in with everything." "Are you going to tell Jax?" He asked if she would blow her cover but that would only happen if Jimmy made the drop on her or if she had to. Sammie walked into the kitchen looking at the flowers and grabbed a red bull from the fridge and said "If I have to. Oh thanks for stocking the fridge I appreciate it I didn't want to have to go shopping." She pulled the card from the envelope and just as she suspected it was from Jimmy using his nickname for her which was his Irish Rose. She even got a Irish rose on her ribs for him. It was part of why she couldn't get Jax's because she didn't want him to see it. David smiled and said "Your welcome do you need anything else." "No..I have to get dressed at meet Jacob at the storage Unit to get all the little shit. Then I am gonna get some paint and work on this house and stay inside after last night." She said lighting the card on fire in the sink. Sammie was scared for everyone around her with how deep she was in. She was also frightened he knew where she lived now. David could hear some angst in his sisters voice and said "What is it Sammie?" He could tell something was wrong but since jax broke her heart she never opened up anymore. Sammie rubbed her face and said "Nothing I Just feel guilty I guess." "For what Sammie?" David Asked her wondering if she was regretting things after being as close as she was to Jax last night. "Nothing and Everything in one I guess. Just those homecoming vibes you know." She said biting her nail and looking at the plate of food Jax brought over last night and just shook her head. " Yeah I figured you were gonna have that. But your not doing this to hurt Jax or the Club. It the bigger picture." David said trying his best to get through to her but all she wanted to do was cry because she was going to be bringing a world of hell on a family that probably didn't deserve it. Sammie wiped her eyes crying and said "I know its the bigger fish not the little one. But still it hurts to be doing this. I mean I love him at one point and now what am i doing." David just want to go over there and hold her and let her cry out whatever it was but she only did that to Parker these days. David said "Do you want me to come stay at the house Till you girlfriend gets in to town?" He knew that his sister and parker were a thing just because of the conversations he would have with her when he couldn't get to his sister because she was with Jimmy. Sammie wiped her eyes and said "No I will be fine. I'm just scared. But I am a big girl." David had never heard Sammie say she was scared and he wondered what happened to her in Las Vegas like so many others would. David just smiled and said "Well Call me if you need anything okay?" "Yeah yeah yeah..Go be a normal person and let me wake up." She said with a smile and he laughed as they said their good byes.

Sammie decided to turn on some music and start prepping for her day. She had a few thing to do but hopefully none that involved Jackson Teller or Tara Knowles. She flipped open the suit case on the couch and went through what clothes she had decided on a pair of blue jean short and a short sleeved Metallica shirt and some wedge sandals. Sammie was about keeping herself and her life basic as possible when she didn't have to pretend to be other people. She went into the bowl with all her keys in it she grabbed the one for her Dodge truck that she bought herself and fixed it up. She got in her truck and started to back out and head to the storage unit. Samantha had arrived before her older brother and decided to sit on the tailgate of her truck and just soak in the sun and close her eyes. She wished she stayed and never left and she wouldn't be in this mess. One of her phones was going off and she knew the ring tone well. She Looked at her work phone and it was Parker. She was probably calling for Jimmy since she was still undercover. Sammie looked at it and answered and said "Hey baby girl." "Hi Lovely how are you doing?" Parker asked sitting in Jimmy lap as he kissed on her neck. She hated being this close to him with out Sammie. Sammie said "Hungover why?" she heard Jimmy in her ear and Parker said "Jimmy just wanted to make sure you recieve the flowers he sent." "I Did Thank him for me." She said knowing he would take the phone from her, which he did. Jimmy smiled and said "Sammie my little irish rose, when are you coming back to me." Sammie sighed and said "I don't know if i can. Not after the last time. Besides I have to deal with my mothers stuff out here in charming because my brothers are jackasses and you know this" as she sat up hoping Jacob would hurry up. "I also know he is there. Have you been with him. Is that why you are hungover." Jimmy said with a smile running his fingers down Parkers bare back thanks to her dress. Samantha rolled her eyes and said "No though it was very hard not to since he wanted it so bad." she wanted to make him Jealous and it was working. Jimmy growled and "said you are mine and always will be Sammie remember that no biker bitch boy is going to stop me. So I will be down there in a couple of weeks and you will come back with me or I'll kill ya right in front of him." He was trying to scare her and it worked but she murmured "not if I kill you first." Jimmy heard her say something but couldn't tell what and asked "What did you say?" "Nothing Jimmy.I gotta go my brother is here so i can get my stuff out of storage." Sammie said hanging up her phone as Jacob pulled next to her.

She hopped off the tailgate and said "Took you long enough" As he was getting out of his Porsche. Jacob smirked as he lowered his sunglasses and said "Yeah well I figured morning for you was late afternoon since you were out half the night." Sammie shook her head and crossed her arms and said "What do you do follow me? I swear to god I am twenty three years old I am grown up." Jacob shook his head at her and pulled the storage locker key out and said "No I Didn't but one of my golf buddies seen you knock some dude out at the dog." He was proud that she learned to defend herself. "He also said you were throwing back shots with Samcro too." he added unlocking the door and he and sammie opened it together. The siblings all store their stuff here and it was obvious whose was whose. Sammie smiled and shook her head at him and said "So What? I was throwing back shots with everyone. I haven't been home in four years and I didn't come back for us to keep fighting over bullshit you nor dad can control." as she grabbed a few boxes and took them to her truck. Jacob sat on his trunk and watched her and said "I don't want to fight about that either. But you have been doing good for yourself to fall back into that." Samantha looked at him and said "Looks can be deceiving Jacob. Trust me. Just because I look fine doesn't mean I am." "What's that suppose to mean?" He asked her. Sammie stopped loading boxes and said "Trust me you don't want to know. Everyone says they want to know what happened while I was gone. But I don't think anyone could handle it." She herself couldn't handle it or process it because she had no time. There was never time to process everything that happened the four years she was away. Jacob wondered what that meant but didn't want to push her and have her flip out on him. Jacob looked at the ground as she seen a box marked closet and it was opened this had some personal stuff in it and she couldn't bear to look into it because it was stuff of he time with Jax along with other private moments through her teenage years. Sammie shook her head digging through some of her stuff like she was looking for something specific. Jacob who was roasting in the sun decided to come in to the unit and watch her and asked "What are you looking for?" Samantha looked back and said "A box from Grandma Spencer's it had a lot of stuff from her past and stuff she would bring from Ireland." "Oh Kennedy my youngest is using it for a school project its all we had of that side of the family's stuff. Since Grandma went back to Ireland." He said looking over at her.

Samantha stopped digging and said "Oh okay. I just wanted Grandma's Diaries out of it. Mom use to read them to me when i was kid like they were little adventure stories. I wanted to read the ones she would skip over " As she sat down on the ground biting her lip. Jacob smiled sitting on his toolbox and said "Yeah i remember those. I am sure i can get them and bring them to you. She wasn't into reading those at least not yet." Sammie smiled and said "I am surprised. She would love the stories of grandma she was a badass when she was my age. She was the only female cop back then. It really inspires me." as she smiled and stood up brushing the bush off her butt and legs. Jacob smiled and said "I Bet there is. It their anything else you want out of here?" Playing with the keys since he had a golf game he wanted to get to. Sammie laughed and said "Mom And Dad's LP Collection." It was a joke but she had been after those since the family split and Jacob would never part with them but he said "Yeah right.. David ended up with that one. I only got dad's record Player and you got moms." He let out a laugh as he said that. Sammie looked at her older brother and said "Want to look for them?" She was just trying to bond with him since she had been gone and she just wanted to be protected by anyone who might care enough to. Jacob looked at his watch and said "I would love to but I have a golf game with the Mayor in twenty minutes." Sammie smiled and looked back at her truck filled with Boxes and said "Yeah i should go unload that stuff before i go to the hardware store and get some paint ." "Finally gonna get rid of that Piss yellow on the inside she though looked good." He said as they closed the storage door together and Sammie said "Yes as much As I love moms house she had no sense of color. I am just gonna probably just go with neutral tones honestly cause i have a lot of black and wood stuff. " "That will be nice. Want any help I can send Gavin over to help you out." He said offering up his sixteen year old son who wanted out of his house for the summer. Sammie smiled and said "No I will be fine I am sure he has a girlfriend he wants to impress and be around at his age. Not his aunt." "I wish that boy is forever on the computer doing what i don't know. But he remind me of you. Minus your smart mouth and Biker boyfriend." Jacob said teasing her.

Samantha lowered her shades and said "But that's why you love me because life would have been boring if i was the good Catholic school girl daddy wanted." as she opened the driver door. Jacob laughed and said "True. But seriously if you need anything let me know and i will bring grandma's box to you after dinner tonight." "Great. Call me before you call me because I don't know where i will be. I was invited to the teller-Morrow barbeque." She said still debating if she would make an appearance or not. Jacob just shook his head and said "Already falling back into your old ways." "One of us Hales were bound to have a good relationship with them. Besides its good for us all to keep SamCro close and not our enemy because they could blow this place to shit if they wanted." She told him as she got into her truck. Jacob smiled as he got in his car and knew she had a point. He was the first to drive off then it was Sammie. She pulled her cigarettes from her purse and lit one before driving off. She wanted that box because Jimmy told her one day that her grandma promised her to him because of money trouble Grandpa had put her in. Jimmy knew all about her and her life because he had watched her. She didn't know anything about the promises grandma made before she decided to stay in Ireland after their mother had passed because it was to hard for her. Sammie was hoping to find something in the diaries and figure out a way around it if what Jimmy said was true. When she got home she found a letter addressed to her in the door. She grabbed it and unlocked the door dropping some of the boxes she had in her arms on the couch. It looked rather old and there was no return address. Sammie put it on the table before going out and grabbing the rest of her boxes. Once she cleared her truck she decided to sit down at the kitchen table. She stared at the letter just looking at she didn't want to read it fearing what it could be or who from. But she had to bite the bullet and find out. Her life was already insane what worse could a letter do.

Sammie downed a shot of fireball and opened the letter pulling her legs to her chest to read it. It was from Jax it was something he wrote while he was in Jail but never sent it to her. He had dropped it off when he realized she wasn't home when he woke up waking up to find out she wasn't there. Jax was now sitting at the club house. He and Gemma were sitting at a picnic table talking. Gemma said 'So did you talk to her?" as she passed him the joint. Jax shook his head no and said "She wasn't home figured she must of been running errands since she did just move back." "Yeah or she could be doing some sketchy cop shit too." Gemma said looking at her son. Jax looked at her and said "We both she isn't that type. Just because she is a cop doesn't mean anything." "I Just don't trust her. She tried to pull you from this family." Gemma said to him trying to get him to see her side. He looked at her and said "I am still here though. Dealing with a wife who could be pregnant with my kid or someone else's. a president who is holding me back from my potential because he wants to keep running guns when the pussy business is where it is at." He passed her the joint back and Gemma said 'Yeah that's such a tough life. But she broke your heart and that nearly killed you. Jax tapped his lighter on the table and said "Get your facts straight before you go against her. I Broke her heart, I nearly killed her and that what nearly killed me. Because I broke the one person who got me even though she didn't come from this." "My bad I didn't know. I Just remember you a mess after she left and that shot gun wedding with Tara." Gemma said apologizing. Jax looked at her and said "I only married Tara for Abel's Sake because I know my son deserved his parents to try. IF I could of done it all over again i would of begged her to stay and done whatever i needed to to make her smile. Because last night was the first time I smiled for real since she has been gone."

Gemma smiled and looked at her son and said "She definitely brings something out in you I haven't seen in a while. You should invite her to the house for the cook out tonight." "Yeah I will get right on that Tara is already on her high horse about her since She wants to play her little games." Jax said rubbing his head. Gemma felt bad for her son and said "That bad huh?" "Yeah she keeps trying to pick a fight with me in front of people. But she knows I won't touch her. I have only slapped her once and that was for something way back in high school because it was something about You. I want to file for divorce but I want to know if this one is mine." He said thinking about Tara, But also wondering what Sammie was up to right now. He just wanted to be around her and just sit and talk like they use to. It never was about he psychical stuff till she was eighteen. Yeah they would make out but they usually just laid on a blanket and Talked about everything. Him and Tara were pure psychical and no real moral ground of how they wanted things or real conversations that mattered. Gemma shook her head and asked "What makes you think it isn't?" "that week in Chicago no one could get a hold of her and she was suppose to be at her moms. Ever since then its been toxic and she wanted to be separated and whatever else." He told his mother what his marriage was like. Gemma pat his hand and said "what's your heart tell you?" "I don't know with Sammie back its like a sign. Like I want to believe her but I have my doubts especially when I try to do the right thing." Jax told his mom, who looked at him and said "Well it must be hell of a sign then Because you use to follow Tara Blindly wherever she wanted and now its like a whole change." Jax looked at his mom and just pat her hands and said "I grew Up mom and now to know I might be able to fix what I broke. Because I thought I would never see her again." as he stood up. He was going on a bike ride to clear his head and to resist going to see if Sammie was home since that's the only person he wanted to be around right now.

"I'll be back in a bit. I am going for a bike ride. I'll make it back for dinner." He said kissing her cheek. Gemma stood up and kissed his and said "I gotta go get steaks from the German and go check on Tara before I start setting up. Clay is already got the smoker going with the brisket and ribs." Jax rolled his eyes under his shades and said "Let me know how she is." "I Will" Gemma said with a smile watching her son get on his bike and put on his helmet. Gemma had a lot to do before the cook out but wanted to check on the grandkids. Tara was cleaning house while Abel was down for a nap. She was pissed off about her situation and prayed that this baby was Jax's because she herself didn't know the father either. She had spent a week in Chicago around the conception date with a guy she met when she would go visit her mom. But they were just a fling and she wanted nothing serious with him. But she too worried about if this baby wasn't Jax's it was sort of why she pushed him away. As she was cleaning she spotted Sammie outside doing yard work. She wondered what life her ex friend had after Tara laid claim to Jax by giving him what his heart's desire which was to fuck since he wasn't getting it from Sammie since she was a good little catholic girl. She wanted to go talk to her but knew it would just end in a fight so she didn't bother. Sammie was in the back yard finishing up mowing the grass since neither of the boys bothered too. She felt her phone vibrate in her back pocket and it was Jax this time. She smiled and answered it "well good morning sunshine." Jax laughed and said "I have been up for a few hours now beautiful. But i woke up and you were no where to be found. Did you run away already?" "No I had things to do besides I didn't need my brothers giving me a hard time after the first night and i ended up in your bed." She said going to sit on a wooden swing set that her and her sibling built when they were kids. Jax smiled and said "We didn't do anything so you know?" "I know we didn't but still..Not a good look for the rookie." She said biting her bottom lip.

Jax was sitting at a red light on his way out of town to go on the highway just to ride and said "True..My mom wanted me to invite you to the cookout they do every Sunday during summer if you can remember those." Sammie let out a laugh and said "Yeah i Remember those. I remember Clay and your mom walking in on us in the laundry room. I was so mortified. " "You I was the one with my pants down." He said with a laugh. Sammie laughed and said "But you weren't the one on your knees with a dick in your mouth either." "yeah i think that is when my mom warmed up to you because she thought your were going to be some goodie too shoes priss." He said thinking about all the good times he and Sammie use to have up at his moms house and the craziest spots there were caught making out. "Well I was but someone just kept finding his way around that. But at least she use to like me." She said wondering how Gemma felt about her now that she knew she was a cop for Charming Police Department. Jax smiled and said "She still does...More than Tara anyways. She has never slipped you weed laced brownies so you would calm down." Sammie let out a laugh and said "Oh Hell No had tara become that bad?" She forgot who she was asking and then said "you don't have to answer that. She is the mother of your kids." Jax just smiled and said "Its Okay and yes she has. Abel and the life Changed her and now its like she can't be reached or she just doesn't want anyone around. I Don't know but she has pushed my family and her family away and keeps pushing me. So I am not sure what flipped in her." Sammie said as she started to swing a bit looking back at Tara's house and said "this life isn't forever one. Do you want me to talk to her?" Jax was stunned at her willingness to talk to her. He figured she would of despised her for everything like he thought she did him. "you don't have to do that Doll. I am sure after last night we aren't her favorite people." He said

Sammie wondered if Tara knew that nothing happened it was just kissing and flirts. "you think she knows." Sammie said a little worried. Jax shrugged his shoulders and said "honestly probably not but she comes up with crazy shit only a guilty conscious can come up with. So Will you come tonight?" "Yeah I guess I can I am not doing anything anyways but waiting for paint to dry." She said looking at the sky as she was swinging high. Jax smiled and knew it would be his chance to have a conversation with her. "you don't have to if you don't want to I just figured we might be able to talk sober." He said knowing these two would never be sober around each other because it was the only thing that eased their nerves since Sammie had yet to experiment with drugs other than Cocaine she did with him once or twice and then Jimmy while she was in Vegas. Sammie let out a flat Ha and said "Good Luck with that. Because me having a conversation remotely sober is hard to get out of me. I go back to that shy girl." "Doesn't seem your so shy right now." He said teasing her not knowing she was already hitting the bottle. Sammie smirked and said "So you think I've had a few shots already." "Its not even noon yet." He said teasing her. Sammie stopped swing and said "So Its five o clock somewhere and I am literally alone in this house with Memories. Oh By the way thanks for that mysterious letter. That wasn't creepy at all." "Have you read it?" He asked her still sitting at the light even though it was green and getting honked at. Sammie said "not Yet but whatever you are doing you better go because it sound's like Angry people are behind you." With a laugh as she jumped off the swing landing on her feet and heading for the house. She had read it but didn't know how to process any of it. He was begging for a chance to make it all up to her and apologizing for not treating her better. She wanted to give him that but she was honestly scared to because of the hell she had endured and still endured.

Jax smirked as he decided on the road that stayed into town and said "They will get over it. Do you want me to stop by and help with anything?" "Nah I am good just waiting on the paint in the kitchen and living room to dry. Does your mom need me to bring anything?" She asked thinking about what to wear and what to bring. Jax said "Just yourself and whatever you plan on drinking because it has become BYOB. But I am sure their will be plenty to share." as he pulled into a parking lot so he could turn back around to the highway since she said no to him coming over. "I can do that.. Do you want me to grab you anything from the liquor store?" She asked out of instinct just to be kind. Jax shook his head no and said "whatever you get should be fine. Plus I got a stash at mom's house still." "I bet you do..I Will see you there then. " She said with a smile as she walked into the house. Jax said "Looking forward to it. I won't be there till later I am going on a ride right now. Kind of wish you were with me." "I bet you do but we both know I would be on my own bike." She said as she decided to cuddle to a teddy bear in her bed. "Still would be nice." He said Sammie smiled and said "Go Enjoy your ride. i am going to read this letter and might take a nap." "Well I will see you tonight and dream of me." He said teasing her as he hung up. Sammie hung up her phone and said "Always do." which was true but they were nightmares of Jimmy hurting him or killing him because of her. She still wish she knew about what Jimmy was talking about. She knew she could get answers from her dad but he would never talk to her. He acknowledged her as his but never really treated her as such. She wondered if he knew about this arrangement and didn't say anything.

Sammie fell asleep readding the letter over and over again. She tried to wrap her head around how badly Jax felt for what he said was corrupting her and pushing her away. He said he regretted everything and only wanted her. It was nice to come first but she knew their lives were different and he was putting the MC first over Tara so what would change that. Plus she was putting her career over what she felt even though she just wanted to tell him. Jax was enjoying his ride and the thought of being able to talk to her as normal has he was going to get her. He started to wonder what happened to her in Vegas because she seemed completely different then when she left but couldn't put his finger on what. But he was enjoying this side of her that was fun loving and enjoying a vice or two. He himself had vices and she was one of them as he was for her. As Sammie slept Parker was in Las Vegas with Jimmy who was helping her pack for Charming. To him he thought he was sending her to return Sammie to him and go through with his plan which was to marry her and make her his. Jimmy made Sammie get the irish rose so it showed her loyalty. It was loyalty that she only showed Jax but never got his crow because she left the day she was suppose to get it done. Jimmy kissed parked neck and said "Bring our rose home. Because I can tell you are just as sad without her." wrapping his arms around the Latin Beauty. Parker was a tan irish latin beauty. She had green eyes and a caramel complexion. Her mother was Born into The IRA and her father was in the Cartel and created her. She had been with Jimmy for almost a decade since she was sixteen years old and Jimmy promised her mom to keep her safe after she passed since she was his niece. Parker kissed his cheek and said "I am sad without her, But it is going to be hard for her to come back especially after that fight." "She will forgive me Sammie always forgives me." Jimmy said sternly. Parker had seen the fight and heard the news the doctor had given her.

The night of the fight Sammie had told Jimmy she was pregnant and he was drunk and he stabbed her seventeen times in her stomach. She had refused to do drugs with him and drink and it was making him tweak out and her threaten to slit her neck if she didn't when she cried the news out. Jimmy wasn't ready for kids with her just yet. But this move may have caused her never to be able to have children again. Parker was the one who called David to get him to convince her to come home. Of course the Fbi already had a cover story about what had happened so none of their case leaked. David thought she had gotten stabbed by a perp in a fight which was true but he didn't know all the other gory details that only Parker, Jimmy, Samantha and their boss knew. Parker looked at him taking his hand and said "I hope so because we both know what's waiting in Charming for her. You have seen the letters he sent her and you never let her seen." Jimmy grasped Parker by the throat and said "She will forgive me and as for what's in Charming I hope she does Runs to him Because I will destroy him and that little bad of misfit motorcyclist he has because with out the Ira business they are nothing. Clay depends to much on us because of a deal elders made." Jimmy let go and grasped her face giving her a passionate kiss and said "But Don't worry your head about that. Just let me know how she is and I will be in Charming soon because it seems our friends had a set back with their warehouse. Seems it went boom." Parker looked in his eyes and knew then he had something to do with that. Because it was right after Sammie had told him she was going home to take a small town cop job somewhere with lest chance of dying. Jimmy knew the girls were cops but thrught they were dirty and on his payroll. But they were FBI all along. Parker shook her head and asked "What if I can convince her to come back?" She bit her lip as she asked and Jimmy smiled and said "Oh trust me she will one way or another because the Hale family doesn't want little secrets to come out about how whey really got their start and Honor an agreement." as he kissed her again biting her lip making her bleed a little.

Parker pulled back and licked the blood off her lip and was making sure she had all she would need for her move to charming from this lavish life she had in a penthouse. Her plan was to help her friend figure out how to get out of this life and how to get her out of the agreement with Jimmy. But there wasn't a ways she could see from this point of view. But she hoped when she got to Charming she would see the smile she first saw when they met and not all the tears she had become. Jax was headed home from his ride. He ended up at a park where he and Sammie would come and sit in high school. This was the half way point between here and Vegas where they joked about going to get married so many times just so she didn't have to deal with her brothers. But he wanted her to have a life outside of Charming no matter how bad he wanted her to stay. Jax smiled at the thought running through his head at what could happen tonight and might if things went right. Sammie was still asleep in her bed till she heard someone banging on her door and wondered who it could be. She wasn't expecting anyone or anything today. She put on some legging that were on the floor and hollered "I am coming.." The Banging continued and Sammie couldn't see who it was cause they had the peephole covered like a pro. Sammie rubbed her eyes as she opened her door and it was Tara. She had Abel asleep in a stroller and fluid leaking from her legs. Sammie looked confused of why she would be here when this happened but she unlocked the screen door to let them in. Sammie grabbed a towel out of her Laundry basket to sit on the couch for Tara to sit down while she got the stroller up the stairs. Tara didn't want to be here but she couldn't get a hold of jax or Gemma. Sammie closed the door behind her leaving the sleeping toddler reclined in the stroller and looked at Tara who started off with "Trust me I am not thrilled I am here either but I can't get ahold of Jax or gemma and I need to get to the hospital fast because these contractions are no joke. My water broke an hour ago and I just was able to try and walk over here."

Sammie rubbed her face not prepared for this today and said "Okay let me get some clothes on. Stay right there." She rand to her bedroom trying to call Jax but it went to voicemail. She said to the voicemail "Uh meet me at Saint Thomas Tara is in Labor and came here because you nor your mom are answering." Sammie was super confused and grabbed some regular clothes and all the other things she required for the day. Sammie made sure her badge was on her hip just in case someone tried to pull her over for speeding since she had yet to out fit the truck or her mustang with lights and sirens. As she walked back out dressed in jeans and the same band tee she was wearing before and tennis shoes she looked at Tara who was ready to cry. Sammie just shook her head and being the good person she was ran over to her grabbing her hands and making her open her eyes and breath through it. Sammie looked at her with a smile and said "We need to go to the hospital because if I have to deliver Jackson teller's baby in my truck I will be mad." "Why because you can't have kids?" Tara was making a rib because Sammie though she couldn't have kids due to a genetic defect. But Now she was more than sertain kid may never be possible after Jimmy violence. Sammie looked away wiping a tear away and said "Lets get you and your son in the truck because I get you are hormonal right now and might say some off the wall shit because he loved me first and you hold that over me but you won. So drop the grudges and the smart remarks because Right now I am the only person here to help you." as she stood up and holding the door open for Tara. Tara knew she struck a nerve and sucked up her pride and stood up going to the truck. Sammie just shook her head and grabbed the Stoller with Abel in it for her. Tara put the towel down on the leather seat and got in. Sammie finally figured out the Abel's car seat was apart of the stroller and hooked him behind them in the middle so he was easily accessible.

Tara was groaning from contractions and Sammie tried to call Jax one more time from her phone But just straight to voicemail. Sammie just hung up and sped off for this hospital. Once they got there the staff took Abel up to daycare since Tara was a nurse here. Sammie just went with her so she wasn't alone. She was still trying to call Jax since that was the only number she remembered. Tara was getting angrier by the minute and started to yell at her. Sammie just started to laugh anytime she did this and finally Tara asked "What is so funny?" Sammie looked at her and said "This whole situation. You are mad at me because of Jax and I honestly don't care . But I am here still being a friend and helping you and him in this mess of a relationship you have." Tara sighed as the contraction ended and ate a few ice chips. She looked at Sammie and said "And I appreciate you being here. Most people probably aren't answering because I have pushed them all away." Sammie shook her head at the statement as the doctor came into check her. Sammie excused herself trying to call Jax one more time. This time he finally picked up. He had just gotten to his Mom's where he had signal and said "hello gorgeous." Sammie smirked leaning on the railing of the stairwell and said "Hello to you too. Why haven't you answered your phone?" Jax got worried and said "I had no signal I just got to my moms what up?" Sammie scratched her head and said "Oh your second born is about to be here and you can get your proof." "Wait how did you know?" Jax asked having questions. Sammie said "she came to my house when you nor Gemma answered the phone. So you might want to speed your ass down here because if i have to be her coach and help her deliver this baby I will kill you. Because she is driving me up the wall with her bipolar attitude towards me." She seen the doctors come out looking for her and Jax said "I am on my way. Where is Abel?" "He is in daycare right now and I am pretty sure she is about to have this baby so hurry." Sammie said with a smile as she hung up the phone.

The Nurse found her in the stairwell and told her that Tara was going to be pushing soon. Sammie couldn't let her be alone and went into the room and sat behind Tara so she could push back on her. Tara looked at here and asked "Did you get a hold of him?" Sammie nodded her head yes and said "Yes now you focus on getting this baby out okay." Sammie put all other thoughts out of her head as Tara just took a breath and as the next contraction she pushed against Sammie whole held her strong even though she could hear the agony she was in. Even though Sammie and Tara weren't ones to see eye to eye, Sammie had respect for her to be able to grow life and have this experience. She hid her face watching as the baby started to crown through the mirror they had for Tara to see. Tara collapsed onto her needing oxygen and Sammie rubbed her shoulder giving her a hug and whispered in her ear "Two More good pushes and you can see your son. I Know you wanna rest but he is almost out." Tara nodded her head and removed the mask and let out the first good push passing the shoulders taking a breath out and the doctors were pushing her telling her she was almost there. Sammie wanted to cry watching this because she would probably never be in this situation. Tara pushed back one more time and the little boy was out. She fell back onto Sammie and her vitals started to flat line. Sammie started to freak out but would stay with the little boy once they pushed them out of the room. Thomas was big and a healthy baby boy. The nurses took Sammie Up to the Nursery where she could sit with the baby and hold him if she wanted since Tara agreed to let her stay with him till Jax came. Jax had gotten back on his bike and headed for the hospital wanting to meet the little boy Tara was carying and if it was his even though part of him didn't care because he would still claim him even if he hated Tara.

Sammie was sitting in the nursery rocking Baby Thomas and feeding him a bottle since it was his feeding time. The doctors were able to revive Tara, she had just popped aneurism in her brain from the pushing that no one knew she had. She was now in recovery and would wake up in her own time. Jax had gotten to the hospital and went looking for Sammie Tara and his son. His first stop was Tara and the doctor told him that she had had the baby boy and a brunette was with him in the nursery who helped Tara with the birth. They also told him about Tara's condition and he stopped to see her first before going to see Sammie and his son. Sammie was reading Thomas a story who was fast asleep in her arms. He looked like the perfect blend of Tara and Jax and it made her heart melt. She wanted to know what this feeling was with a baby of her own instead of being an aunt or a step mom. Jax was watching from the window as Sammie was reading to him. He wished he could give her that gift but he too knew the chance of her getting pregnant not the situation now but because of her genetic issues. Jax came in with a smile looking at them. Sammie looked up seeing him and stood up putting the book away putting her finger to her lips and said "I just got him to sleep. But He is definitely your son. He went for my boob cause he thought I was Tara." as she passed the little boy to his father. Jax smiled seeing the wet spot on her tee where her nipple was and said "I see he still got to nom on it." he was a little jealous of his little boy but Sammie just shook her head and said "I'll leave you guys alone." patting Jax's back and walking out. Jax kissed his sons head and said "You are a lucky little man to get to second base with that one." Sammie smiled watching father and son Bond. She headed for the elevators to leave But Jax was right behind her and asked "Can we talk?" "Sure.." Sammie said as he pulled her into a stairwell grasping her face kissing her. Sammie was wondering where this was coming from but was going with it.

Jax let go and said "Thank you.." "For what I was just being a normal kind human being." Sammie said grabbing the railing to stop herself from launching at him. Jax shook his head grabbing her face so she looked him in the eyes and said "For coming home. Since you've been gone I feel its been one wrong choice after another. But The second you come home it feels like the universe smiling down on me and giving me a chance to right those wrongs." Sammie wanted to cry because she didn't want to hear those words she didn't want him to love her like he always had because she felt like a bad person even though she was doing good. Sammie fought to look away to cry but her made her look at him and said "What is it Sammie? Because I know I have fucked up and I settled. I['ve fucked hundred and maybe thousands and I can only still see one face. Even with Tara I could only see you. My Sons should be yours and I fucked that Up and I am sorry." He kissed her lips and pulled her into him. Sammie took his hand and said "I need to show you something." before this could go further she had to be honest about part of her life that she had for four years. Jax looked at her as they went into an empty room and she locked the door. Jax looked at her wondering what she wanted to show him. He looked at her as she sat him down on the bed and said "what ever it is you can tell me Sammie." "well it has to do with the last four years but I want to show you as I tell you." Sammie said removing her shirt. Jax seen the stab wounds to her stomach and just wanted to kiss them away wondering if that was what she wanted to show him. Jax said "Jesus christ what happened Sammie? Who did this?" Trying to stop her from showing him more. But she had her shirt raised revealing bruising on her rib and the irish rose tattoo and said "Jimmy O'phelan did this to me. Because the last three years while I was in Vegas. he found me at one of his night clubs knew who i was kept talking about some deal he made with my moms mom and he sunk his teeth in me. He made me get that rose because he said i was to be his wife one day because that's what my grandma promise him when i was of age. He knew my past and who I was and what I did and didn't care. My bosses started a case and I had been undercover at least till last week when he did that because things weren't going his way."

Jax was stunned by the news but still wanted to kiss all her scars away which he could see there were a few all that were not is visible places. He was still trying to wrap his head around this but said "He can't hurt you anymore I won't let him Sammie I promise you that." as he pulled her in. Sammie sighed and said "I wish it were that simple. Because I can't put your life at danger because I am in danger Jax you just had a son." as she tried to push him away. Jax grabbed her wrist pinning her to the wall and said "My life was in danger the second you came back to town because you are like a drug I can't get enough of when you're around. When you are around I feel a little less shitty about myself and you make me smile like no one else can I promised you that we would fight whatever battle either one of us had head on." Sammie winced a little as he pinned her and said "That's when we were kids. We are two grown ass adults right now and you have a family. Trust me Jax you don't want any part of this." "Yeah I Do because Jimmy and Clay do business and if clay knew about this it would end business and we would need to find new ways to earn. Which I have been looking into for the club but i get ignored. " Jax said getting mad Sammie rolled her eyes at him and said "Yeah right. not if he sees all this. How did you get seventeen stab wound to your stomach?" Sammie wanted to cry and not look at him in the face but he made her. Sammie said "Jimmy...He was in a mood and I had missed a period and was telling him I was pregnant and he took his knife and stabbed me. He left me in the penthouse to bleed out. Thank god house keeping came in and found me." just breaking down. Jax was stunned to hear she could get pregnant and wonder if she still might be able to after this. But He put his mind back on track and felt heart broken for the world of hell Sammie must have lived in.

Jax pulled her into his arms and kissed her head as he said "I am never gonna let anything Happen to you I promise." Gemma was looking for Jax and Sammie since a nurse had told them she seen them head this way. She looked through the cglass and seen Sammie pinned to a wall by her son and just shook her head. She thought only these two. But her son caught her eye as he held Sammie. Jax lifted Her chin and said "Don't leave i will be right back." Sammie wiped her eyes nodding her head seeing Gemma and put her shirt back on before anyone else saw. Gemma smiled hugging her son and said "Sorry to interrupt whatever was happening but I wanted to meet my grandson." Jax looked back at the door and said "you weren't interrupting anything. We were just talking." "With her shirt off?" Gemma said raising an eyebrow at him. Jax rolled his eyes and asked her a question "I Clay and the guys still out at the house?" "Yeah why?" as he took her to the nursery down the hall. Jax said "I just need to talk to him at the table. It's something Sammie and I were just talking about in there." As he stopped his mom from going in just yet. Gemma crossed her arms and said "What shit has Charmings finest wrapped you head in now?" Jax looked at her mad as hell but said "now you and i both know that girl has been through some fucked up shit in her life and she has no reason to lie. But before I go telling you I need to go talk to Clay and try to convince her to show him what she showed me." "What her boob job?" Gemma said poking a little fun that she had filled out more as she grew up. "Mom...This isn't a joke. It's serious and it involves the Irish." He said keeping it hushed so Sammie didn't hear them if she came out. "what's Sammie got to do with the Irish?" Gemma asked wanting to know. "I'll let you show her and tell you after I tell Clay and convince her to show him the seventeen stab would and the ribs not to mention the fucking tattoo." He said anger at his mother but kept it quiet. Gemma looked around and put on a fake smile and put her hand on his chest and said "Ok then. Do you want me to stay here with the baby and tara while you two do whatever?" "That would be great. I will return I promise." He said kissing her cheek letting her go in.

Sammie watched Jax and his mom and decided to take the stairs. She knew what Jax was going to convince her to do and she couldn't tell anyone else because she was scared of what it would do to this family and the world around her. But when she got to her Truck she realize her keys were missing. Jax must of Taken them off her belt loop which made her angry. Jax came out twirling them around his fingers and said " Do you really think you could show me something like that and I wouldn't try and stop you from leaving AGAIN?" Sammie shook her head and smiled a bit and said "No but I thought I could try." "After that Bombshell If you are not in david's eye sight You will be under mine or some of my guys. Does David know?" Jax asked her as he handed her the keys. Sammie unlocked the tail gate and pulled out the built in wrap for the bike to go up out. Sammie said "Not everything you know. He thinking i was stabbed in a robbery gone wrong." "well I think you need to fill him and your superiors in on what you just told me or I will. But First you and I are going out to my moms and We are showing Clay." Jax said determined to make her tell someone that mattered since it looked like she had been used at as punching back for three years when she took her top off. Sammie protested "Jax no...Not today...No I can't let this get out. My superiors don't even know because he scares me that much. The only person that Knows other than us and jimmy is my partner/girlfriend Parker and she helped me lie because she's had it bad but not as bad as me." Jax looked at her as they strapped the bike in and said "Then why show me. Because that was the biggest sign in my life that we need to get out of the business we are in. Clay's been stuck on a deal made by men who aren't even around anymore. you were like the daughter he never wanted around so if you think he won't end it over that. You really have changed."

Sammie handed him the keys as they closed the tailgate. She knew he was going to make her go because of the business and Jax wanted to prove something to her and the world. It was admirable but Sammie was scared more now then ever of how this would effect Jimmy. As they got into the truck and said "I haven't changed that much but i figured I was the girl who broke you heart and made you settle so I figured my words were shit." Jax looked at her starting the truck and kissed her hand and said "I never painted you that way. Tara tried to but i set everyone right and owned up to my actions. Why did you help her today?" Sammie looked at him pulling her hand away and said "Like I said i was being a kind person and I'm not that heartless. I left you like two voicemails but eventually picked up. But she was ready to push by the time i hung up. I really just did it for you because I know its what you both would have wanted before if you couldn't make it if i hadn't left." Jax took her hand back and held it and said "I am glad you were home." "Me too." She said looking at him with a meek smile trying to stop all the thoughts in her head right now. The car ride was silent until Jax asked "Think you might be able to have kids again?" Sammie looked at him flabbergasted and wondered where this came from and said "You just had one and you want more already. I think you just wanna see what our kid would look like. But last visit said my chances are still 50/50 either way." Jax smiled pulling her to him and kissing her head and said "can you blame me seeing you with Thomas you looked made for that life. And it should of been you with both my kids but I fucked up and i will always try to make that up to you now that you are home." Sammie snuggled into his chest for a moment till they pulled into a long drive way which meant they were here.

Sammie sat up and looked at the party and it was bigger than normal but there were other charters were here to help with whatever they could after the warehouse blew up. Clay seen the truck pull up with Jax bike in the truck bed and shook his head. "Man just had a kid and he is already thinking about Pussy." Clay said shaking his head sipping his beer. Juice who was three sheets to the wind and said "Can you Blame him? you have seen her tape right." Opie looked at Juice and knew the tape he was talking about because the guys had found it accidentally going through old Cara Cara tapes. When they upgraded the studios to digital. It was of her and Jax after her eighteenth birthday and Jax convinced her to do it and He even had one of the prospects as the camera man. IT was very rough and not to mention hot to see the catholic school girl they all know into so freaky stuff. Clay looked at opie who had a smile on his face and said "What tape?" Opie tried to stop laughing and said "The one of Jax and Sammie before Cara Cara went digital." "Wait that tape is real. I Heard jokes but never saw it." Tig said as he was coming from the kitchen. Clay looked back and said "Probably for good reason. But how come I never knew about this tape." wondering about it. Opie said "Jax came in as it was getting good and threatened to kill us if it got shown to anyone else. But I am guessing he forgot it existed." as he watched Sammie fighting Jax up the hill. She was protesting this whole thing. Jax stopped and looked at her and said "I will toss you over my shoulder and not care because You are going through with this." "Jax no I already have told to many people and you don't know what Jimmy is capable if you have something he wants or you cross him." She said digging in her heels. Jax looked at her and said "Okay I warned you." As he went to pick her up and throw he over his shoulder.

Sammie stopped him and said "I'll walk thank you." Jax smiled and took her hand heading up to the guys. Sammie hid behind him ad the guys were already drinking and giving him hell. Clay smiled and pulled Sammie into his lap kissing her cheek and said "Glad you could make it." He looked at Jax and teased him saying "shouldn't you be at the hospital." Jax smiled a little thinking the way clay was with Sammie was a bit creepy but ignored it and said "We need to have a meeting at the table. It has to to do with the Irish." Clay lifted her off his lap and looked at the guys and said "We will be back princess have a few jello shots and hang out." as Clay kissed her cheek Jax took her hand and pulled her to him and said "It involves Sammie." Clay tapped his beer on the table and the got the crews attention and they headed out to the garage. Its where they met when they were out here. everyone knew to stay out of there when they locked the doors and shut the garage. Once everyone was inside and they were sure the doors were locked Clay looked at Jax and asked "Why Did you call us here VP?" Jax looked at Sammie who was grabbing a bottle of beer from the fridge and said "Because Sammie just shared some interesting news about our IRA buddies and what they do to little girls." Clay looked at Jax and then at Sammie. Clay knew Jimmy's past but never thought Sammie Hale was on the radar. Clay looked at her ad she finished her beer in one drink. Jax looked at her and said "you can tell them or I can." Sammie let out a sigh and took off her shirt throwing it off at Jax. The guys thought this was a show but were all in gasps when they seen the bruises on her torso and the old scars along with the seventeen new ones. Clay felt sick to his stomach and wondered what happened he also spotted Jimmy's Irish rose tattoo on her.

Sammie looked at Clay who was going to ask the first one and said "He made me get that because apparently I was promised to him by my grandma on my moms side. But never told me why i was the bargaining chip." Clay wondered if this had anything to do with the hales climb in political success before they had Samantha. Clay looked at her and said "You sure it was Jimmy O'Phelan?" Sammie wiped her eyes as Jax handed her shirt back and said "Yeah I have been living in that fuckers penthouse for three years when he found me at a nightclub and found out who i was. My superior in vega put me undercover until he left for dead the night I am assuming the gun warehouse blew up because he was bitching about a loss of income when I came in to the office because we were suppose to go to a benefit about a week ago. But decided to stab me 17 times." Sammie stood by Jax who wrapped her in his arms and said "we need end our business because Sammie is one of Charming own." "And something you stick you dick in to. How are we suppose to make money?" One of the guys said who was a prospect. Clay looked to Jax and it was a good question with out gun money things would be dry for a while. Jax looked around and said "The two businesses that are big in Cali are weed and Pussy. We can look into those ventures but Sammie should of been of our own if we let women actually wear a cut if she wasn't gonna be my old lady. Because she stands for what Charming is about and what The people who came before us believe in and that was doing the right thing by the people around you." Sammie stood back as Jax made this speech and admired him for a moment but was scared still because she knew if Jimmy found out what revolution she had just started in the Sons because of her he would make sure to murder them all. As Jax finished his speech Clay looked at him and said "all right VP Lets take a vote. All against getting out of business with the Irish raise your hand." There were a few hands that went up then Clay said "all for looking into alternative business ventures." More than half the crew raised their hands and Clay looked at Jax who had pulled Sammie back into his arms and said "We Will try it your way VP." As he handed Jax a beer and toasted him.


OMG another chapter down. OMG this came out better than expected
