lennon9091: I don't know about the I love you... think with this story I just slipped it in a no-big-deal spot because with everything they've been through the words are just verbally confirming something they've known for a while now :):) thanks for reviewing!

Jimmy was still a no show. The guys were nearly finished packing up all the guns on to the truck. We'd be leaving soon, without what we came for...

"Juice."

I looked over at Jax, nodding. "Yup."

He nodded to the barn doors. "Keep an eye on O'Neill." I looked over to him, seeing the guy walk out of the barn.

"Got it." I nodded, looking it Happy. "Hap." I gestured for him to follow.

We followed him out, seeing him heading for the bushes. It all looked a little suspicious, like something wasn't right...

"Where the hell is he going?" I looked to Happy, even though I knew he wouldn't know.

"Hey, where the hell are you going?" he yelled out to O'Neill.

O'Neill turned to us with a sigh. "Gotta murder a shite." he turned back around, shaking his head as he continued to the trees. "You wanna watch?"

"Do you?"

I looked up at Happy shaking my head. "No, I'm good."

We stopped before we got to far, not wanting to see whatever it was he had to do. There's just somethings I can't do, not even for the club.

The sound of the barn doors closing before yells and shouts followed had us turn around, seeing the teens who had been stadning around run to their car. The barn doors locked.

"Hey, what are you kids doing?" I asked as we ran towards them. "Hey, hey!"

"Get over here!" Happy called as they drove off.

We rushed over to the barn doors, trying to get the chain off but there was no use. We could here the guys yelling on the other side, the truck starting.

"Stand back." I told Happy, pulling out my gun. I shot at the lock, trying to break it to get the guys out.

Happy grabbed me, pulling me out of the way right before the truck drove through the doors, everybody running out, as far away from the barn as possible. But it was the truck that exploded, the sound deffening as the flames erupted, burning high in the air.

I fell to the ground, the blast pushing me back. Buzzing filled my head from the explosion, my vision blurred as I tried to sit up.

Everything cleared, and I took in the scene before me. Both Sambel and Samcro guys hurt, bodies and parts on the gorund from the few Irishmen who had been on the truck. But it was Chibs that my eyes locked on as he fell to the gorund, pulling his nephew into his arms.

SPOV

I stood next to Kerrianne, my arms around her protectively as we stood in front of Father Kellan. I wasn't sure how I felt about all this. This man, he had Abel, refusing to give him back. But I knew, here at least, we'd be safe until the guys got back.

"You're safe now. No harms gonna come to you." Kellan nodded, speaking my thoughts. "Let's take the ladies to the rectory. I'll have someone to watch over them." he nodded to Maureen and Fiona. "We'll let Sean grieve." I looked down the isle at the man who was sitting in the middle of the church praying. He was the oher guard, the dead one his brother...

"Come on, girls." Maureen spoke up, all three of us and Fiona moving down the isle towards the rectory.

My head throbbed from where Donny had hit it, a lump surely grown by now.

"Thank you."

I looked over my shoulder at Fiona. "What for?"

She looked to Kerrianne who was still beside me, having practically glued herself to my side now. "For protecting us."

"I'm only doing what Chibs told me to." I shrugged, feeling as if it were no big deal.

But she shook her head. "It means a lot, love." her eyes moved to my head before she added. "We'll get an ice pack on that, fix you right up." she offered before we all fell into silence once more.

...

I decided to stay with Fi and Kerri. Mum and the others went back awhile ago, th three of us left at the church. I didn't mind, I had actually come to see Kerrianne as like a sister to me. I'd protect her with my life.

"Where's my family? Fi! Kerrianne!" Chibs voice called.

The door to the room we were in opened as Chibs got sight of his wife, daughter and myself sitting in a loungeroom, Fi reading while Kerrianne and I played go fish around the small coffee table.

"Oh, my girls." he smiled, throwing his arms around Fi.

Another person walked in, my eyes falling on them... Juice. He took one look at me, ice pack pressed to my head.

"Shit." he stepped towards me, kneeling on the ground beside me.

I shrugged, smiling at him as he lifted the ice pack from my head, taking a look at the bump. "I'm fine. We're all fine."

He nodded, placing it back on my head. "When I heard-"

I leaned forward, silencing him with a quick kiss. Leaning back, I looked both him and Chibs up and down. "Anyway, it should be us that are worried. We heard about the explosion..."

Chibs sighed, looking to the ground. "Our boys are okay. But... Paddy..."

"Oh, Chibs." I got up moving towards him, throwing my arms around him. "I'm so sorry."

He didn't say anything, just hugged me back. We stood like that for a moment, and I think it helped him, at least a little...

Pulling back he nodded to Juice. "Juicy boy here's gonna stay with you. He'll keep you safe." he told Fi and Kerri.

"Can Scarlett stay too?" Kerrianne's small voice asked as she looked to her dad.

I smiled. "Of course." I moved to sit back on the ground, picking up my cards. "I'm having too much fun here to leave. And well... Juice can be a bit of a bore." I grinned, looking over at him.

He shook his head turning to Kerri. "I'll teach you how to play real card games... not these boring ones Scarlett's had you playing."

Chibs laughed looking between the three of us, his arm around Fi. "Looks like you'll have your hands full love." he kissed Fi's head as the two of them watched us sit on the floor, playing cards.

...

Juice and I sat on the ground outside Kerri and Fiona's room. He had tried to get me to go to sleep, but it was easier said then done. With Abel gone, my trust for Sambel weak, my mum wanted, the guys going back to jail... it was all too much...

I rested my head on his shoulder, both our guns in our hands. "Look at us." I grinned.

He laughed. "Yeah. We're not a normal couple."

"Bikers, guns, and gangs. Not exactly your typical lifestyle." I sighed as his arm snaked around my waist. "What made you join?" I looked up at him, head still on his shoulder. "You never did tell me..."

"I got into some trouble back in Queens... so I came to California. I never knew my dad, was never close with my family. I had no friends, no home. I was on the run. So when Chibs invited me to be a hang-around, I jumped at the opportunity. And when they finally let me prospect, things looked like they were getting better. I hacked into the police department's mainframe and fixed up some charges on Clay's record. That was enough to get me my patch... and my family."

I grabbed his free hand, entertwining our fingers. "You breaking the law... best thing that's ever happened to me." I kissed his cheek. "If you hadn't of run off to Charming-"

He turned so he could kiss me, shutting me up. "I'd break a thousand laws for you." he grinned, I couldn't help but laugh, pulling him back down to my lips.

"God, I love you." I mumbled against his lips.

"I know."

...

The next day went by pretty quickly, nothing really happened. It wasn't until Jax walked into the room that I noticed how long I had actually been at the church.

"Hey." I stood up from the couch where Kerri, Fi and I had been sitting, Juice on the ground. Stepping around him I walked towards Jax. "What's up? Everything okay?"

He shrugged. "I need to talk to you... in private."

Nodding, I followed him outsdie the room, closing the door behind us. We walked down the hall until we were sure no one would hear us, before he turned to me.

"Trinity's our sister."

My jaw dropped. "What?"

"Turns out our father came to Belfast after Thomas died." he shrugged.

"Trinity-" I shook my head. "Maureen and dad?" he just nodded. I remembered how Juice had said we looked alike, and now that I thought about it, she really did resemble Jax and I. "Holy shit. We have a sister... Wait." I frowned. "How'd you find out?"

"Gemma and Maureen caught us in the back room of the shop..." he answered, his eyes flashing with guilt.

"Jesus Christ." I hit his chest. "What the hell were you thinking? What about Tara? Huh? Idiot." shaking my head I went on. "What were you gonna do, Jax. Sleep with her and then just go back to Charming? After everything they've done for us. You idiot. Do you have control over that thing, or what?" I gestured to his pants.

He smirked, nodding as he looked to the ground. "Love you too, sis."

Hands on hips, I just rolled my eyes. "I love you, but you're an idiot."
