Chapter 16: Kiss Me Like No-Ones Watching

The next day Kali received another phone call from her brother this time he was begging her to come home. He was on her side with their mother not being near his children. That was the last straw for her, she couldn't stay any longer.

"Kali, get home now please," Jax told her the instant she answered her phone.

'Jax, what's going on?' Kali questioned, as she packed hers and Jacksons belongings again. 'Jax?'

"Abel, child services was called," Jax answered after thinking for a second before he spoke again. "I don't want mom near them. Wendy's going to give us hand,"

'I understand, I'll be there tomorrow, let Jack spend the day with his dad,' Kali told him, pausing before she spoke again. 'Why were they called?'

"Abel told them that mom hurt him," Jax said and then told her about the scratches down his arm.

'Jax...tell Abel that his aunty's coming home,' Kali sighed, before she and Jax ended the phone call and Jax went back to talking with his mother, Nero and Wendy before Chibs interrupted them and told them that it was time.

That night, Chibs went to Althea, both of them feeling guilty about who they were with. Chibs feeling guilty that he was essentially cheating on Kali, though she knew what was happening. Althea because she didn't know what else to do. He had to tell he what she wanted to hear not what she needed to hear. Tig went to see Venus and they talked with Tig ending up telling Venus that he was completely in love with her. Jax went home to Wendy and the boys, and was sitting talking with her when Abel walked in.

"Hey little guy, what are you doing awake?" Jax questioned as Abel crawled into his lap and Jax's arms found his way around him. Jax sat with him in his lap and told him about who his real mother was. Abel took in what Jax was telling him and thought for a second before walking over to Wendy and giving her a kiss and a cuddle and disappearing down the hallway to his bedroom.

"A little heads up would have been nice," Wendy said after Abel had disappeared, Jax knew that Kali wouldn't have liked that he'd told Abel but he had to. Jax walked down to Abel's room and went and sat on his bed tucking the little boy.

"Love you daddy," Abel said as Jax kissed him on the forehead. "Is Wendy my first mommy?" Abel asked before Jax had a chance to walk out of the room he heard him say something that confused him.

Jax pulled out his phone and pulled Abel into his lap and dialled his sister's number again. Holding Abel close as he did so.

"Hey Jax, what's up?" Kali yawned, he'd woken her up with the call.

'Did you know?' Jax questioned, kissing the top of Abel's head. 'You told me to talk to Abel, did you know?'

"Jax, your not making any sense. Did I know what?" Kali replied, sitting up on the couch that she was sleeping on. "What did Abel tell you?"

'He just asked me if mom killed Tara so that Wendy could be here, only you know not in those words,' Jax said, now Kali was concerned over just what had she left behind this time, even though she was returning in the next day or so.

"I didn't know, all I asked Abel was if he was okay. And he said that he heard mom talking and then mom took the phone and I hung up," Kali answered running a hand through her hair and looking down the bus. "Mom did what?"

'Abel said that 'Is that why Gramma killed his other mommy so that his first mommy could have him?',' Jax answered, he was confused over what his mother had done.

"Fuck, I'll be home as soon as I can," Kali told him, it may have been midnight bit she needed to finish packing her things and make sure that her dog had been fed. "Has anyone fed Rocko?"

'Thanks kiddo, yeah Tig has been,' Jax answered before the two of them both hung up their respective phones.

That morning, Jax headed to TM and talked with Unser he wanted to talk to him to find out if he knew the truth about what had happened but didn't know how to get it out of him. He also wanted him to get a meeting with Juice. Chibs and Tig turned up soon after and were told that he would fill them in later.

"Hows things between you and princess?" Tig questioned, looking at his friend and then at glancing behind him at Jax who had disappeared.

"Difficult," Chibs answered as his own phone rang and he looked it and laughed. "Speak of the devil,"

"Let it go to voice mail," Tig laughed and the two of them walked into TM together while listening to Kali's voice-mail.

'Oi asswipe, answer your damn phone. I'll be home soon, finishing up here today and then its a 6 hour drive home,' Kali left the message on Chibs phone with a laugh at the end of it.

"Damn it Tig," Chibs laughed as they headed inside and upstairs to look at Bobby's books about the clubs accounting and all his notes.

Kali walked over to Sam's bunk and shook him she needed to talk to him before she did anything drastic. Sam didn't budge but Jackson did and he looked over his dad at her.

"Hi mommy," Jackson yawned and looked at her through tired eyes.

"Hey little man, we're gonna go home tonight," Kali smiled at him causing his eyes to light up when he heard the word home. "I'm gonna call your uncle Chibs again and talk to him, okay?"

"Okay mommy," Jackson smiled and then curled back up next to Sam. "Daddy, mommy said that we're going home tonight,"

"Come on babe, need you to pick up," Kali ducked outside of the bus waiting for him to pick up and was grateful when he did. "Hey, you alone?"

'Hey Darlin,' Chibs looked around the room and walked out to the hall way. 'I am now, what's going on with your brother?'

"Abel...Abel told him that mom killed Tara...look you have to act as though you don't know anything, promise me that you will," Kali told him she had tell him, she had to tell someone about what was going through her brothers head.

'Darlin, what are you talking about?' Chibs questioned, leaning against the wall as Jax arrived.

"Jax found out that mom killed Tara...that's what Abel told him," Kali said it again, and could hear the older man nodding. "I'll be home late tonight," she was close to tears as she spoke and he could tell.

'It'll be alright darlin, I'll see you tonight,' Chibs told her, before they both hung up and Kali called Jax again.

Hours later and Kali had put her son in the car and was getting ready to drive the six hours back to Charming. Jax had gathered the sons in Alvarez's garage and told them what Gemma had done to Tara and that everything that had happened since was his mistake. It took her around 5 hours to get back to Charming and she may have ignored needing to pee in doing so. Kali arrived at Alvarez's garage as they were talking about what happened.

"I'm interrupting you all right now, everyone out, I want to talk with Jax," Kali stood at the end of the room as Jax was talking about loving the entire room.

"Not now Kali," Jax said before standing up and walking from the room.

"Jackson, now," Kali sighed, moving to run after him as Chibs grabbed hold of her arm and pulled her to him. "Babe, not now," Chibs kissed the side of her head and then let her walk out of the room catching up with her brother. "Jax, I left Jack with Wendy. I love you big brother,"

"Why? Why did mom have to do it?" Jax questioned, as he stopped and faced her finding her arms wrapped around him.

"I honestly don't know, but I need you to tell me exactly what you found out today," Kali said not letting go of him as she spoke.

"A lot of shit, I can't go into it. Talk to Chibs," Jax said as Nero turned up, Kali glared at him he had been helping their mother unknowingly.

"You talk to him, I'm going to talk Chibs," with that Kali left the garage and headed outside to where she found Chibs waiting for her. "Hey you,"

"Hey Darlin," Chibs wrapped an arm around her and the two of them walked to a quiet area of Alvarez's garage. "Everything okay?"

"Honestly, I don't know. What happened when I was gone?" Kali questioned, it had only been three days.

"Your brother got an APB put out on him, I'm worried he's going to do something stupid," Chibs told her, kissing the side of her head.

"You and me both, I'll see if I can get the APB thrown out," Kali told him, why Jax hadn't told him that herself she didn't know. "Look after him, I can't be involved in this if it goes south and he knows that,"

"I love you and your brother. I'll do what I can to keep him alive," Chibs told her still with his arms around her as they stood against the wall.

"Love you too," Kali smiled at him, reaching to his face and pulling it towards her. "What else did Jax say?"

"Something about Barosky," Chibs told her as he took in that she had actually just that she loved him.

"Jax can't kill him, trust me on this one," Kali said taking a deep breath as she looked at him, he nodded in agreement.

The next day they met again at Alvarez's garage, Kali was tagging along she needed to convince her brother that he couldn't kill Barosky. She didn't know that he had already killed Jury, and that he was going to be talking with the other Presidents. As they were talking Kali stood in the doorway, she shouldn't have been but she was. It was how she found out about the mayhem vote.

"Darlin, come sit over here," Chibs had grabbed a bottle from the bar at Red Woody and was sitting on the couch.

"The Mayhem vote...it can't happen," Kali whispered sitting beside him, and resting her head on his shoulder.

"I know, go talk to Packer when they come out he'll understand," Chibs told her, his hand on hers. "Don't worry about your brother,"

"I can't not worry about him," Kali sighed, glancing up as they saw the door open and the Sons walking out. "Jax?"

"Kali?" Jax motioned with his head for her to follow him, before he wrapped his arms around her. "Kiddo, it's going to be alright," Jax hugged her kissing her on the forehead at the same time.

"I really wish people would stop saying that," Kali laughed, she had to as she hugged Jax tightly before slapping him upside the head. "Do not kill Barosky, just don't...trust me on this,"

"Fine," Jax muttered pulling away from her before he spoke again. "I don't want you involved in what's going down,"

"I know, just promise me you're not going to do any stupid shit," Kali told him before she walked away from him and started to head out the door.

"Jackie, trust your sister,"

Kali walked outside of Red Woody and slid down against the wall and pulled out her phone. She wasn't about to rat on the club, but she had to do something that would help them. Jax knew that Kali was planning on doing something they all did, just nobody knew what. Kali ran a hand over her face before looking at her phone and putting it back in her pocket.

Hours later Gemma had disappeared to Oregon, which was where Jax eventually tracked her down. The Sons all knew what he was planning on doing, and he hadn't planned on running into Wayne. Wayne was in Oregon because Nero had asked him to go and arrest Gemma, anything to keep them safe. Jax told Wayne that he should go home, when Wayne refused Jax shot him.

"Don't, mom, just don't," Jax told her he didn't want to listen to any excuses. "I love you mom, but no excuses,"

"All the other things because of the lie. I never saw any of that coming. I know there's no apology that can touch what you're feeling," Gemma looked at Jax as she spoke, he'd sat down in one of the chairs opposite her. "I'd like to go out to the garden if that's okay?"

"Kali knows, why do you think she hasn't left you alone with Jack?" Jax questioned, as they walked out to the garden, when Gemma didn't answer he raised his gun before lowering it and putting his hand to his head.

"I love you and your sister," Gemma said before telling him that he had to do it because it was who they were. Jax raised his gun again, listening to his mother as she spoke before he fired and killed her.

Jax called Kali from one of the burner phones telling her that it was done, before he rode back to Charming. As he was on his way back to Charming the SONS and the Niner's were killing the Chinese. Kali waited patiently for any one of the SONS to arrive at her house, she didn't care who turned up, she was grateful when it was Chibs who turned up though.

"We can either..." Kali started to say before Chibs took hold of her hand and led her down the hall to her room. "Or not,"

Kali and Chibs made their way down the hallway to her bedroom, removing articles of clothing one by one. Neither of them cared that her son could enter the room at any moment. Chibs pushed the door shut with his free arm as he removed her underwear with the his other hand and threw them onto the floor. Kali slowly lowered his so that they were both newly naked in her room. Chibs playfully pushed her towards the bed, her pushing back at the same time until they bumped into the bed and she was on her back. Chibs climbed on her straddling her before she reached up and grabbed his face with her hands.

"Darlin, what are we even doing?" Chibs questioned, as she pulled him in for a kiss.

"Shut up and just kiss me already," Kali smirked at him her hands still on either side of his face. Chibs removed her hands from his face and forcibly kissed her as he thrust inside her at the same time. Kali traced the out line of Chibs' tattoos as continued to press their bodies against one another. Chibs mimicked her actions albeit only briefly before moving his hands under her and picking her up.

After a while the both collapsed side-by-side, her draping her arm across his body briefly before she stood up with the urge to go to the bathroom. Kali disappeared into the bathroom before returning seconds later and falling back into bed with him just as he got up to do the same thing before he dragged her with him.

Jax had gone home to Wendy and had subsequently had sex with her. Tyler Yost and the One-Niners had decided that Jax had to go, why? No one really knew why. The following morning Jax had woken to an empty bed and was walking to each of his sons rooms and enveloping them in a hug before kissing them on the head. He wanted to see his sister but at the same time he didn't as he knew that they would both end up in tears it was already going to be hard enough for him. Jax went to TM where he stood in the shell of the club and was met by Kali who simply wrapped her arms around her brother.

"Jax, please don't...I'm not coming to church...I can't I've told Chibs to make mine..." Kali said as Jax wrapped his arms tightly around his little sister and kissed her on the forehead.

"I know darlin," Jax kissed her again, not letting go of her. "Come this morning for the vote about T.O,"

"I will, but after that I'm not," Kali told him, Jax nodded knowing exactly why she couldn't do it. "I'll do anything you guys want me to but not that, I've got a meeting with Penelope later,"

"Do what you need to," Jax told her as they walked out of the shell of TM and headed for the bikes. "Get up to anything last night?"

"...sleep..." Kali grinned at him before they both got on their bikes. "You?"

"Same," he smirked before he tore off and went to Red Woody.

When they arrived at Red Woody, Jax walked in followed by Kali. He walked over to Lyla and kissed her on the top of the head and told her that he loved her. Kali raised an eyebrow realising what her brother was spending the day doing. Chibs looked at Kali, and offered a smile he'd left her place early that morning, not that he'd wanted to mind you he just thought that her son would ask too many questions. Jax winked at Chibs he knew what they'd gotten up to. Kali slapped her brother upside the head.
