Chapter 5
We hang out at the house and the kids are in the floor watching a movie and I am snuggled into Opie's side on the couch, watching the kids. He leans down and whispers "You okay?" I just nod. Kissing my temple he says "When the kids go to bed, we can talk." and I just nod again. After the kids are in bed, we head out the the back steps. He sits down and pulls me to sit on the step in front of him, between his legs. I lean back into him and he says "Talk to me babe." I take a second to get my thoughts together a little more and ask "How's this going to work Ope?" but I don't look up at him. "You're my girl. How do you think this will work?" he asks. "I mean, with the kids. I love you. I love Kenny and Ellie but they lost their mom. How are they going to handle me being your girlfriend? You're Old Lady?" I ask. "Babe, listen to me. Ellie helped me pick out what shirt to wear. The kids love you. I explained that I was going to tell you that I wanted you to be my Old Lady and they are fine with it." he tells me. I look down at our fingers intertwined in front of me and say "You know I'm going to want to get married someday and have a kid of my own." I tell him. "I know." he says and leans down close and whispers "That's the plan sweetheart." I look up at him and he kisses me softly and says "I told you I love you." I smile softly and say "I love you too Harry."
That night, I spend in Opie's bed. The next morning, we get up and I start breakfast. Opie gets the kids up and as soon as the kids walk in they hug me good morning and take their plates to the table. We sit to eat and I don't say much. "Are you okay?" Ellie asks. "Yeah baby. Just are you two okay with me and your dad being together?" I ask and they both smile. "Yeah. We like you. You're nice to us and you talk to us about our mom. And Daddy likes you a lot." Ellie says and I look at Kenny and he smiles and says "We want you to move in." I look at him shocked and then at Ellie and Opie and all three are smiling. "Are you sure?" I ask. "We're sure babe." Opie tells me before kissing me softly. "Okay then." I look down at my plate with a huge smile on my face.
A little later, the kids are dropped off at school and we head to the garage to work. Walking into the clubhouse for coffee before work, we walk in holding hands and everyone looks at us and smiles. "About fucking time." Jax says and Opie pulls me into his side. "How'd this finally happen?" Jax asks. "She was trying to drive drunk and I stopped her. Made her crash with me." Opie says and Jax smirks. "Not like that. But I had a wedding to go to and my mom was making a big deal about me not going alone so Gemma told Opie and he showed up as my date." I say. "That's not all." Opie nudges me, smirking. "The night he made me crash with him, my drunk ass confessed that I love him and at the wedding he confessed he loves me too and now we're together...moving in together." I tell Jax and he pulls me into a hug before hugging Opie. "So, you his Old Lady now?" Bobby asks as he walks up. I look at Opie and he arches a brow. I stand proud and look into Bobby's eyes and say "Fuck yeah I am." before being turned to Opie and he crashes his lips with mine.
That night, Neeta has the kids and I am at the bar with Gemma and Tara. "How are you doing with all this?" Tara asks. "Good. Really good. We talked to the kids and apparently they were all on board with him and I being together. Ellie even helped him pick out what to wear to the wedding." I tell them and they both smile. I see Happy setting up his tattoo kit and look over at Opie. Holding out his hand, I smile and say "Showtime." before walking over to Opie. I take a deep breath and take my seat and hold out my arm for Happy to prep. "You ready little girl?" Happy asks. I look at Opie and smile wide before saying "It's long overdue."
