Chapter 11A: I Feel A Change Coming On

Not long after and both Jax and Kali were sitting with their mother she was telling them about what happened the year their father died. Tara had given Gemma letters that Maureen Ashby had slipped into Jax's bag while they were in Belfast, Tara had found them. Gemma was telling them exactly what they needed to hear.

"Mom, why are you telling us this?" Kali questioned, looking at her brother and then at her mother as they both took it in.

"Because, Clay has to die," was Gemma's response, she wanted her children to know the truth about what happened.

"You hid this from us for years," Jax took his sisters hand in his, and kissed it as their mother stood up and walked over to them.

Gemma kissed both of her children and then walked from the room leaving the two of them to talk. Kali looked at her brother, whatever decision he made she would go along with. Jax looked at her and the two of them sat and read the letters that their father had written. It was then that they knew what they had to do. Jax and Chibs met up with Happy, the Galindo Cartel and the IRA to sell the IRA guns. While Kali went to Opie and Lyla to make sure that Opie was okay, while she was there Jax called her he needed her back at the warehouse.

"My sister is SAMCRO, she's with me all the way," Jax was talking with Romero and Luis, he wasn't listening to anything else they said until she was there.

"Your sister has nothing to do with this," Luis stated, they hadn't discovered the full details of Jax's sisters involvement in the club.

"She has everything to do with this," Jax said he heard a bike pull up and Chibs call out that his sister was there. "Let her in," the doors opened and closed and Kali walked in and up to her brother.

"Jax, what's going on?" Kali questioned, putting a hand on his shoulder as she spoke.

"They're CIA, Kal," Jax told her, Kali raised an eyebrow at her older brother and then looked at the two men in front of them. "If you take the club down, you do not take her down. She's my kid sister,"

"Jackson? You need to tell me exactly what the hell is going on," Kali took a deep breath as she looked at her brother and then at Romeo and Luis.

"Miss Teller, your brother will be taking over the MC," Luis and Romeo explained to Kali and Jax exactly what needed to happen.

After the left Kali pulled Jax aside and hugged her older brother, she couldn't believe what he was about to put himself through. Was he really about to let his fiancée and children leave the state without him? And take over being president of SAMCRO, something that should have happened years earlier.

"Jax, if you keep this deal happening you better make sure as hell they don't go back on it," Kali stated, she didn't need to go back in not after all these years.

"I know kiddo, I know," Jax wrapped an arm around her and pulled her closer. "I'll protect you no matter what and that's a promise,"

"I know Jax," Kali replied, they needed to work out how to keep the deal under wraps. "We'll work it out,"

Jax and Kali walked from the barn, and headed back to the compound. Jax told her to tell everyone that they had church at 8 that night to tell them that Jax was going to be President and that Clay was permanently stepping down. That night as the Sons sat around the table Tara arrived, causing Kali to wonder who was looking after the boys as she had left her son with her. Lyla had picked up Jackson and was looking after him until Kali returned, and the nanny was looking after Abel and Thomas.

Later that week, Jax asked for a meeting to be set up with Damon Pope, after they discovered that Tig had accidentally killed his daughter – while on revenge for the men who attempted to kill Clay (not knowing that it was Opie). Tara believed that Abel and Thomas needed to socialise with other children, so they had enrolled them in the hospital daycare. That same night, the moment that Chibs, Jax and Bobby walked into Jax's house they saw Gemma and Tara face to face with Kali standing away from them watching the argument unfold.

"Tara, they'll be okay," Kali wrapped an around her shoulder and pulled her close. "Stay with the boys, I've gotta go," Kali kissed the side of the older ladies head.

"Where are you going?" Tara questioned, looking at her she shook her head she couldn't say where she was going. "Your brother tells me more,"

"I know, I promised I'd keep an eye on Opie and on you," Kali told her, before walking from the house and getting on her bike and riding off

As she rode away, she dialled Penelope she needed a friendly voice to talk to and to say thank you for helping them get her nephew back and to ask for someone to look after her big brother should anything go south. Penelope and Kali talked as she rode to Opie's house, and saw that Roosevelt was standing at his door. Opie opened the door, and saw Kali standing out of the sight of his men.

"Sorry to wake you at this late hour Opie, but we're looking for Jax. You haven't seen him?" Roosevelt questioned, Opie shook his head he hadn't seen his bestfriend as soon as Roosevelt had gone Kali rolled her bike up to Opie's and around the side.

"Ope, how are you doing?" Kali questioned, walking up to the front door and wrapping an arm around him.

"Gotta help your brother," Opie kissed the top of her head, and looked down at her. "What can you tell me?"

"Ope, I can't lose him," Kali told him as she looked at him taking a deep breath before she continued. "Help him, protect him if you can,"

"I know kiddo, you don't need to ask me," Opie told her, he knew why the younger Teller was there she was there convince him to go back to the club. "Love you kiddo, help Lyla,"

The next day as Jax, Chibs and Tig were being arrested for murder, Opie and Kali arrived. Both of them reversed their bikes, before going over to her mother and now sister in-law. Kali shook her head at Tara and glared at Jax, before she smiled at Roosevelt. Opie walked upto Roosevelt who asked if he was there to say goodbye to his friends. Opie decked him and then the officer behind him so that he would get arrested.

"Can I have a word with my brother?" Kali questioned, she wanted to speak to Jax quietly before they got put away. Roosevelt nodded and motioned for his men to let the two speak.

"What are you doing?" Jax hissed at her as she wrapped her arms around him. "What did you say to Ope?"

"I didn't have to say anything," Kali whispered in his ear she couldn't let the police hear her. "He's your best-friend,"

"Times up Miss Teller," Roosevelt said, Kali kissed Jax on the cheek and then stepped away from him and walked over to the Sons, Happy putting an arm around him.

"What's he doing?" Tara questioned looking to Gemma as she spoke.

"Staying close," came Gemma and Kali's reply before Kali walked into the clubhouse followed by the others.

"Chapel now," Kali spoke calmly as she motioned with her head for them to follow her. Tara looked at the young girl wondering how she could possibly get them all to listen to her.

Kali walked into Church and waited for Happy, Juice, Bobby and Phil before motioning for them to close the door behind them. Kali shook her head at Phil, she wanted him out he didn't need to know what she had done. Happy opened the door and Phil walked out.

"Close the door!" they all shouted at him, Happy had already sat back down and they all started laughing as Phil shut the door again.

"What did you do Kali?" Bobby questioned, stroking his beard as he spoke.

"Asked Opie if out was really what he wanted, reminded him that Jax was his best-friend," Kali told them, taking a deep breath before she continued. "I know he wants out, he can't live without Donna, we all know this,"

"Hope you know what you're doing," Happy said, they all did and so did she.

"Ope and I have already talked, if anything happens while he's on the inside we're to organise for Lyla to become Kenny and Ellie's legal guardian," Kali answered, she really hoped that nothing happened she'd told him to protect him if he could. Opie would have done that without her asking.

"You know you didn't have to say anything to Opie, he would do anything for your brother," Bobby sighed, as they all leant against the table.

Meanwhile on the inside Jax was telling Opie about the letters that they had read, about Clay killing their father about Piney knowing about it. Opie wanted revenge for Clay killing his old man. The two men fought with in the cell they had been locked inside until Jax told him about RICO about who Romeo and Luis were.

"I had to make the choice, save the club or Kill Clay," Jax told him, with Opie response being that he made the wrong decision. "I know,"

"They want a son, let me," Opie leaned against the sink, Jax shook his head he couldn't let him do it. "Your sister will whoever hurts you, you know what,"

"I know," Jax closed his eyes as he spoke and they both sat on the bed as the guard came back.

"Who's it gonna be boys?" the guard questioned, Jax told them they were still deciding on who it would be.

Less than an hour later and they were watching helplessly as Opie was beaten to death, Jax didn't blame his sister he knew that Opie would have done it either way. Tig and Chibs beat against the glass wall as they watched Opie fall.

Back at the compound Juice had left to go with Clay where-ever the older man needed. That was the task that Jax had given him. Happy and Bobby were at Tara's with her and the kids. Happy playing with Abel while Bobby sat at the table with Tara. Kali sat alone at the table before getting up and leaving to head back to her house. She needed to check on Lyla and the kids, Bobby had tasked Phil with staying with her again.

"How long have you been in for?" Phil questioned as the two of them made their way to the bikes.

"I was eighteen, back in 2000, and before you ask Jax backed the decision," Kali answered, which shut him up as they got on the bikes and rode to her house. "Go home Phil, we'll be fine," Kali told him, before she put her bike in the garage and walked into the house.

"Is that you Kali?" Ratboy called out, they'd asked him to stay with Lyla and the kids.

"It's me, where's Lyla?" Kali asked walking through the house and seeing him sitting in the kitchen with Jackson on his lap.

"Bedroom," Ratboy motioned, as Jackson saw that his mother was home.

"Hey little man, come with mommy," Kali held her arms out for him as Ratboy put him down, Jackson ran over to his mother. Kali picked him and carried him down the hallway to his bedroom, putting him in and closing the door. "Mommy will be right back,"

"Kali?" Lyla questioned, looking up as she heard her voice. Kali walked in and sat beside Lyla seeing that she was crying, Kali instantly knew what was wrong something had happened in County. "He's gone,"

"Lyla, I'm so sorry," Kali wrapped her arms around her and pulled her close hugging her tightly. "I'm right here,"

The next morning Jax called Kali as they were leaving County and then called Tara, knowing the two girls wanted to keep their kids as far away from Gemma as they could. Kali sat with Tara and the kids waiting for the boys to arrive back at Teller-Automotive. Jackson and Abel were quietly playing together while Tara held Thomas talking quietly with Kali.

"Kali, we need to talk now," Jax motioned for his sister to follow him, Kali nodded and stood up following her brother into the club-house. "Did you know?"

"Jax, I knew he wanted a way out," Kali told him, as soon as the words left her mouth Jax pushed her up against the wall. "Jax, he would have done it either way! You know it as well as I do!" Kali pushed back, she wasn't about to hurt her brother and he knew it.

"Kali, my best-friend is dead," Jax let go of her as his eyes started to tear up, he wanted to take the anger out on someone but not her. "This stays between us,"

"He was my best-friend too," Kali told him, as she wrapped her arms around him and her own eyes started to tear up too.

"What do we do?" Jax leant against the wall and slid down it pulling his sister with him.

"We get the bastard who made this whole thing happen," Kali answered, her arm wrapped tightly around her brother and they joined their heads together. "Jax it will be okay,"

"Love you kiddo," Jax took a deep breath turning his head slightly and kissing her forehead. "I know and we will make the bastards pay,"

Jax and Kali sat on the floor for a moment before everyone started filing in. Chibs looking between the two wondering if they'd had at it, before he walked over and pulled the two of them up. Kali smiled a little at Chibs before the older man pulled her into his arms and hugged her.
