Charming Is Not so Charming

Chapter Two: Chaos in Only a Few Hours of Being Home

Juliet unlocked the door to her mother and Clay's home. The spare key was exactly where it had always been and looked around. Her mom looked dark colors and walked down the hall to her old room. She smiled once she seen that it was clean. She dropped her bags down on the floor beside her bed. She walked around the room and seen old pictures of her with Jax, and Opie and a few with Clay, Chibs, Bobby and Tig.

Juliet, by appearance looked a lot like Gemma. Long dark hair with caramel streaks, brown eyes and a 'no shit' attitude to match. She always knew deep down that she would be back here. She also knew that she would, like her mother, become an old lady to a member of Samcro. What could she say? She loved a bad boy and a man in a cut.

Juliet smiled when she seen a picture of her and her childhood best friend, Tara Knowles. They were about 16 in the picture. Tara had become her best friend after Tara starting dating Jax. Her brother and Tara were childhood loves and when she left Charming, it crushed Jax. Tara and Juliet were not only best friends but often partners in crime. On more than 10 occasions, Juliet found herself behind bars along with Tara, Jax and Opie.

Juliet removed the pistol from the back of her shorts and sat in on the dresser and decided she needed a bath to wash of the traveling grime. She went into her bathroom and grabbed a quick shower and was getting dressed when her cell rang. She seen the Charming area code and knew that it was most likely her brother. He told her that something happened with Wendy and that she needed to come to St. Thomas.

"I'll be there as soon as I can." She said hanging up.

She got dressed, threw on a little makeup and blow dried her hair. She got into her car and drove towards St. Thomas Hospital. Halfway there, she saw blue lights flashing behind her.

"Shit." She said with a sigh as she pulled over.

A sheriff walked up to her driver's side and stopped.

"Juliet Teller."

"David Hale." She said with a smile.

"Deputy Chief Hale."

She nodded.

"I shouldn't be surprised that I'm pulling you over for reckless driving and excessive speeding." He said.

"Well unlike all the other times, I have a really good excuse."

"Oh, yeah?" He asked with eyebrows raised. "What's that?"

"Seems like my brother's pregnant crazy ex-wife just got rushed to the hospital." She told him. "So I'm trying to get there."

He sighed, apparently buying it.

"Ok, go." He told her but put his hand up. "Only this once, Juliet. I'm serious. Next time I have to pull you over for speeding, I'm hauling you in."

"Got you, no more driving like a bat out of hell."

He gave her a small smile and began to walk away.

"Juliet?"

She turned to look back at him.

"It's good to have you home."

"Good to be back, Deputy Hale." She told him putting on her best smile. "I mean Chief Deputy Hale."

He got into his off road police SUV and drove away.

"Wow." Juliet said shaking her head. "I didn't even have to show him my boobs to get out of a ticket."

Before she left Charming, she would often get pulled over by Deputy Hale, once he come out of the Police Academy and started working at the police station, she would talk her way out of a ticket and more often that once flash him. He once even booked her on indecent exposure. She giggled and headed to St. Thomas, this time doing the speed limit.

She got to the hospital and got out of her car. She saw her brother walking out.

"Jax." She called to him.

He turned and pointed back to the hospital.

"Go inside. I've got something to take care of."

She seen Chibs and Bobby come out.

"Jesus." Bobby said surprised to see her.

"Hi, Uncle Bobby." She said giving him a quick hug.

"No time, sweetie." He told her giving her a quick hug. "Gotta go with Jax."

"Ok." She said as she seen them mount their bikes.

She headed inside and seen her mom and Clay.

"Princess Juliet." Clay said with a huge smile.

"Hi, Clay." She said with a smile.

He wrapped her in his strong arms for a long hug and let her go.

"Hi, baby." Gemma said giving her a hug and a kiss. "Good to have you home."

"I've been here for a few hours and already mayhem."

Clay smirked.

"What's the news?" Juliet asked. "Wendy ok? The baby?"

"The druggie bitch is fine." Gemma said. "We're not sure about the baby yet. He's 10 weeks preemie. He has CHD and a tear in his abdomen."

Juliet nodded. Her mom, Jax, late brother, Thomas all have the 'family flaw'. She was lucky not to have inherited it. She was the only one of Gemma's three children not to.

"What are they going to do?"

"They want to go right in and fix his belly and if he's ok, then his heart." Clay spoke up. "Tara's assisting."

"Tara?" Juliet asked. "She's back?"

"Yeah." Gemma said not pleased.

"Can we see the baby?"

"Yeah." Clay said.

Gemma and Juliet went to the NICU and seen Abel hooked up to all kinds of machines and in an incubator.

"He's so little." Juliet said looking at her nephew. "Tara will help the best she can, Mom."

"Yeah." Gemma said putting her arm around Juliet's neck.

"Well I was looking forward to meeting my nephew but not like this."

"Surprised that you don't have kids yet."

"What is that supposed to mean?" Juliet asked amused. "Are you saying I'm a whore?"

Gemma smiled and turned to look at her.

"Takes one to know one."

Gemma let out a laugh.

"Yeah, I'm glad you're home."
