Chapter 09: We Can't...

Kali looked at Jax knowing that if what they told about their life then everyone would be in danger and he didn't want any more casualties to happen in their town. After a couple of minutes standing around Opie told the guys to get in their bus, and they'd tow it back. Once they were back at the garage Kali noticed her mothers car and Tara's were both in the lot, meaning so were the kids.

"Stay here," Jax held up his hand as the Space Monkey boys climbed off the bus with Anna and stood there looking around wondering what was going on.

"Fuck you're gonna need a place to stay," Kali said watching as Jax walked into the club house. "There's a motel about two mile up the road. Only place available,"

"Can't we stay with you?" Anna asked, wondering why her friend would want to send them away.

"Not enough room. Plus I'm going between living my mom and living with my brother," Kali answered looking at Opie who shook his head at her, and then laughed.

"She's trying to say she lives all over the place with each of us," Opie said before he walked over to the office to see Clay sitting in it. "Bus has a busted engine, and bare front tires," he indicated to the bus so that Clay could see it. "Apparently the shorter one is the father of your grandson,"

"Thanks Ope, I'll get Dog to look at it. You go to 'church' we have a meeting," Clay told him, nodding as he stood up.

Kali looked towards the office and watched as Opie walked back over to her followed by Dog and Clay. Clay smiled at her and held out his arms, Kali smiled and walked over to him and gave him a hug. Dog walked over to the bus and unhooked it from the truck and went around to the back of it to have a look. Kali tossed her keys to Opie knowing that they had a meeting and that all members would need their cuts.

Gemma and Tara were sitting in the club house, with Jackson, Abel and Thomas sitting on their laps. Abel and Jackson poking their tongues out at each other to see who would laugh first. Both women looked up as Jax walked in, looking quite concerned with what was going on.

"Mom, Tara we could have a problem on our hands. Kali's old man is here," Jax said walking over to Tara and kissing the top of her forehead. "I'm gonna take the kid out to his mom,"

"Alright, Jackson go to your Uncle Jax," Gemma told the small boy who ran up to her and gave her a kiss before running over to Jax and taking his hand.

"We see mommy?" Jackson asked looking up at Jax who nodded and took his nephews hand and led him outside.

"Come on kiddo, lets go see your mom," Jax said as they got to the door he crouched down and picked him up.

Outside Kali had walked away from her friends with Chibs and was sitting on her bike again looking at them, wondering what she was going to tell them. Chibs shook his head at the young girl and then laughed when he saw Jax holding Jackson who was now squirming. Kali laughed too, watching as Jax put Jackson on the ground and ran straight up to her.

"Mommy!" he grinned laughing as Kali bent down and picked him up.

"Hey kiddo, were you good for Gramma and Aunt Tara?" Kali asked giving him a cuddle and a kiss.

"Yes mommy," Jackson kissed her back and then looked around and saw his dad. "Daddy!" he grinned pointing over her shoulder as soon as he saw Sam.

"Go on, go give your daddy a hug," Kali smiled at him putting him on the ground and then watching as the little boy ran over to his father to give him a hug. "Chibs keep an eye on him for me please?"

"Sure thing, darlin'," Chibs smiled, before leaning against his own bike and proceeding to watch the boys of Space Monkey to make sure that they didn't try anything.

Jax and Kali walked back into the club, and went to talk to Gemma. Kali didn't know what to do about Sam, she was totally lost. They were in the middle of something and him turning up with his band was a bad idea.

"You have to get rid of them, we can't protect your family. They're too high risk," Gemma told her daughter as she stood up from the couch and went over to her wrapping her in her arms.

"I know, mom. I just don't know what to do," Kali sighed, resting her head on her mothers shoulder as she hugged her. "What do I do?"

"Tell him that he can't be here, that you don't want to see him again," Gemma pulled her daughter back and looked her straight in the eyes.

"Kali, you know mom's right. It's for the..." Jax started to say before she cut him off.

"For the good of the Club, I know," Kali said before she remembered that there was something else that she hadn't told them. "Crap...Just remembered there's something else I haven't said. Can you get everyone in 'church'?"

Jax nodded, wondering what his sister had forgotten to mention. Soon after Jax walked out, Clay walked back in followed by the other members of SAMCRO. He motioned for Tara and Gemma to go outside with the kids.

"Baby, take over from Chibs and keep an eye on the grandchildren," Clay told Gemma as he kissed her on the cheek.

"Will do babe, you take care of business," Gemma replied watching as Jax kissed Tara and baby Thomas and toddler Abel.

"Chapel now," Clay motioned for them all to head into the 'church' and to take their seats. Once everyone was inside Clay looked to Kali. "What did you forget?"

"You're not going to like this, but not only are Hale and Roosevelt looking into the Sons. A man called Lincoln Potter is, he's with the US Attorney's but there's something fishy about him," Kali said, she didn't know how she had forgotten this fact. "You saw him the day you came home, he rode through town on a bike,"

"The scrawny dude?" Clay raised an eyebrow looking at her. Kali nodded, he was the one.

"He's I don't know," Kali said, biting her lip as she looked to them. Tig stared at her, wondering just how she could have forgotten. "Tigger stop staring at me, I have had to do a lot around here, and I'm sorry if things slip my mind once in a while."

"Kiddo, don't apologise," Jax looked at her and nodded, his way of saying that she had every right to forget things.

"I do have a question though, how do I get my friends out of Charming safely? They don't know anything about me. Chibs, Happy, Ope and Jax saw how surprised they were when I turned up on my bike earlier," Kali said motioning to the older men who nodded.

"It's true, they were shocked. Don't think any of them realised she was one of us," Opie nodded, looking around and his eyes resting on Piney as he spoke. "They were genuinely shocked,"

"How shocked?" Clay questioned, at that question Jax started laughing.

"They were kind of silent, like stupid silent," Jax managed to get out while still laughing.

"Hey! I told you that they don't know anything. Hell up until Jax picked me up they'd never heard any MC language," Kali said, smiling at them before she started to laugh. "Cage. That was the one thing that confused them the most. What do I tell them? To get them to go?"

"Tell them, that they have to leave. And to never come back to Charming," Clay said taking a breath as he looked to the young women.

"It's not going to be that easy, Jackson is his son," Kali said looking to him and then to Jax and Opie both men knew what she was thinking. Taking a deep breath she got a whiff of the weed that Piney had started smoking.

"Talk to him, tell him as little about the MC as possible. Jax, you stay with your sister you hear me?" Clay said looking to both of the Teller's as he spoke and picked up his cigar.

"Yes brother," Jax nodded, before Clay picked up the gavel and taped it on the table to signify the end of 'church'.

Outside Gemma and Tara were watching the children playing. Jackson was back to poking his tongue out at his cousin Abel while baby Thomas was still sleeping in his stroller while the Space Monkey's talked to Anna to see what they could do.

"Hey mom, I'd like to introduce you to Jackson's dad," Kali said as everyone walked out of the club house. Jax sat beside Tara and wrapped an arm around her pulling her close. Chibs and Opie walked over to the bus to see how they could help Dog out.

"Baby, of course," Gemma smiled, standing up and following her daughter over to her friends. "They just stayed there. Don't think they know what to do," Gemma whispered in her ear.

"Mom, this is Sam," Kali said grabbing Sam by the hand and puling him away from Peter and Anna. "Sam, this is my mom Gemma,"

"Hi Mrs Teller, it's a pleasure to meet you," Sam smiled at her, he realised that she had been watching them the entire time that they were outside. "Kali we're gonna head to the nearest motel...I would like to see more of Jack though,"

"I know, I just...well I don't know what to do," Kali admitted, which wasn't easy for her to do. Jax looked after Kali and Gemma and saw both women talking to Sam.

"It's best if you go, I know you want to see your son. He's safe with us," Gemma told them, she was back to being a fierce mother bear as she liked to put it. "She can't tell you anything, go to the motel that I'm sure by now one of the guys has told you about,"

"Mom! I'm sorry guys, trust me when I say that it's best if you go," Kali sighed, looking to them. Anna took that moment to say something.

"No! I haven't seen you in forever and now you don't want anything to do with us, what's the go?" Anna questioned, Kali ran a hand over her face and pulled her gun from behind her back.

"Jesus Christ! Kali put it away," Jax jumped up from where he'd been sitting and ran over to her.

"Jax, they have to see what they've gotten themselves into," Gemma and Clay both said watching to see what Kali was going to do with her gun.

"This is crazy, Kali just put it away," Jax said as Chibs walked up to them, Tara had stayed back with the three boys.

Peter raised his eyebrow and hand, moving slowly towards the gun. "Can I try?" James did a double take and swatted Peter's hand down, glaring at the slightly younger man. Peter shrugged him off as if to say 'It was worth a shot,'

Daniel had been distracted by a crow in the distance, turning to poke James on the shoulder he started talking to him. "Hey James. Did you ever wonder if crows really circled for dead thi... Hey Kali...When did you start carrying guns around? Where did you hide that thing anyway, you weigh like five pounds.." Sam also had done a double take, and seeing Kali with a gun freaked him out just a little. He was not used to seeing a beautiful woman holding something so dangerous. He passed out, James smirked, starting to tap him his shoe while Daniel found a stick to poke him with.

Clark went straight into full panic mode, his eyes went wide and jaw dropped. "I think...I left something...over here..." he stuttered, Clark thought he would be the heroic one and picked Anna up throwing her over his shoulder as he started to go back to the door of the bus. This earned him a few punches and protests from Anna. Anna just wanted Kali to show her how to shoot it. Clark nearly ran straight into Opie who had been standing behind him.

Kali sighed and put the gun back in her pants and pulled her shirt over it, before she turned away from them and spoke. Jax couldn't help himself and he'd started laughing.

"I'm sorry, but like I said there are some things about me that you are safer not knowing," Kali was still facing away from her friends as she spoke. Her eyes had landed on Jax who just shook his head at her, while still laughing. "I've been able to handle a gun since I was a teenager. You can blame the way that I was brought up if you like, but that doesn't change who I am,"

"She's not that little, she knows how to hide a gun," Opie said as Clark turned back around to face them.

"She's still the same person that you guys love, she just has a lot of secrets. Trust me when I say hat it really is better that you don't know everything," Gemma said, as she kissed Clay on the cheek. "This here, this is a family,"

"I'm kind of curious," Daniel said quietly as he stared at Kali's back and noticed what exactly she was wearing and then realised that all the men were wearing similar things. "What are you wearing?"

"It's called a cut, kutte, colours," Kali answered turning around to face them. "It's an M.C things. It's how we identify other members by what they wear..." Kali went over and prodded Sam with her foot before she sat on him. "Sam get up would you,"

"Don't say to much, Kali," Tig said from behind Opie, as he, Juice, Piney, Kozik and a couple of others had turned up to see what Kali was going to do.

"Eff off Tig, I'm saying as little as possible here," was Kali's reply, she knew his voice from anywhere. "Guys, can you please just go? I'd tell you more if I could. I'll get one of the guys to drop the bus off in the morning,"

"But I wanna see how it's done!" Anna whined as she slapped Clark on the back forcing him to put her down.

"Anna are you sure?" Kali asked with a grin, Gemma looked at her smiling.
