I am having a terrible day. So, here's the next chapter. Hopefully it'll make someone else smile :):)

SPOV

I stood behind Kerri, braiding her hair . We laughed as Fi told us some stories from when Chibs was younger. All the while Juice stood in the corner, content in just listening and watching.

His phone started to ring. Looking at the screen he moved to the door. "It's Chibs," he told us before walking out of the room, my eyes following him.

"You two remind me of when Fillip and I were together." Fiona smiled sweetly. "Completely in love." I blushed at her words.

Kerrianne sighed. "You think I'll ever get a boyfriend who loves me like that?"

Scoffing, I answered, "You're too gorgeous and kind for guys not to fall head over heels. Your mum will be chasing them away, there'll be so many." She just laughed.

Juice walked back in, smile completely gone, replaced by worry. "We gotta go. You guys are in danger."

That's all he had to say before we shoved our things into our bags, rushing out of the place, looking for father Kellan.

JPOV

We walked into Maureen's kitchen, Fi and Kerrianne in front of me, Scarlett and the priest behind. We saw Jax leaning against the bench, looking as if he'd been crying, a mess. Gemma standing by him, pissed.

"What happened? What is it?" Maureen asked us, as she closed the front door.

"Clay called, said Fiona and Kerrianne were in danger," Kellan answered. "Told us to meet here."

"Jax?" Scarlett moved to her brother. "What happened?"

Gemma pointed to Kellan. "You. You're the one who twisted him up. What the hell did you say to him?"

I looked from Gemma, back to where Jax stood, Scarlett's arms around her brother. Something was very wrong. Very, very wrong.

SPOV

The sound of bikes outside had all of us moving to the front door, my arm still around Jax's shoulder. I hated seeing him like this. It was bad enough when Abel was gone, but now these people were playing with that, ruining everything.

Clay, Chibs and Bobby got off their bikes, heading towards the stairs as we walked down to them.

"What's going on?" Juice asked from the front.

"Sean Casey's dead." Clay answered flatly. "They tortured him for information. Had to be for Fiona's location."

Kellan froze on the stairs as Fi and Kerrianne rushed down to Chibs. The priest just shook his head at Clay. "It's not for Fi, it's for the baby."

"Abel? Why?" Clay's attention was completely on Kellan now.

"Jimmy needs a way out of the country."

Jax rushed down to where Kellan stood on the stairs. "What?"

"He's gonna use your child for leverage."

"The hotel." Jax ran down the stairs. "Come on!"

I followed as the guys moved to their bikes, mum with Clay. I grabbed Juice's spare helmet, getting on beside him. "Go!" I yelled over the roaring of his bike as soon as I was ready.

He rode off, following the Jax and the others, speeding through the streets.

...

We walked into the hotel, Jax leading us towards the stair.

"Juice, Happy, Chibs, stay here, keep an eye out for Jimmy," Bobby called over his shoulder.

"You got it," Happy answered, the three of them stopping in the lobby.

Juice grabbed my hand. "Be safe."

I nodded before going with the others, rushing up the stairs.

Jax led us through the hotel, knowing exactly where to go. We all stayed close behind him, ready to do whatever had to be done. He stopped at a door, all of us pulling out our guns as Bobby moved to stand close to the door nodding at Jax.

"Go," Jax told him.

Bobby pushed the door open, freezing. "Holy shit." He walked in cautiously, the rest of us following.

I stopped sold at the sight of the dead couple. They looked so... normal. How could Jimmy do something like this to them? And where the hell is Abel?

"Oh, shit. Where is he?" mum exclaimed as she caught sight of the bodies. She looked over at Bobby who had checked the whole room. "Abel?"

He shook his head. "Nothing," he sighed. "We gotta get out of here. Now."

I knew he was right. But I was too worried about Jax to really care. The way he looked at the couple, as if he thought this was all his fault. He looked utterly defeated...

"I did this." He refused to look away from the couple.

I stepped in front of him, looking into his eyes. "Jax, this wasn't you."

When he didn't say anything, just stared blankly, Ope rested a hand on his shoulder. "Come on, brother."

Jax shook his head. "You should all go." He moved to the woman lying on the ground.

I turned to Clay who nodded at me before looking over to mum. "Gemma," was all he said before we all started leaving the room.

Mum stopped by Ope who nodded at her. "Go ahead. I got him."

I grabbed her hand, needing the comfort of my mum. If Jimmy had done this to two innocent people, what else would he do?

JPOV

We sat around the Sambel table, Samcro and Kellan meeting. Chibs sat with his family, Jax between Scarlett and Gemma. All of us, we had no idea where to go from here. Abel was gone. We didn't know where Jimmy had taken him, what he was going to do with him. We knew nothing. We just hoped the priest could help us.

"Jimmy has your son," Kellan spoke to Jax. "He's reached out to the council. He wants safe passage to the States in exchange for the boy. I've advised they make the deal."

Jax stared at the priest, hate and anger filling his eyes. "So, what happens now?"

"Council considers it. Probably wants to meet with you. Till then, we wait," Kellan answered simply.

"None of this shit would have happened if you told us where he was when we first got here," Clay noted, just as pissed as the rest of us.

"I'm trying to help this family."

"Help us?" Scarlett shook her head, getting out of her seat. "You son of a bitch." she lunged for the priest. Jax grabbed her, the rest of us guys up, ready to stop her too.

"Hey, hey." Jax moved to stand in front of her. "It's not his fault."

"That's bullshit!" Clay went to grab Kellan, Bobby and Ope grabbing him to keep him back.

"Enough!" Jax yelled. When everyone seemed a little calmer he turned to Kellan. "I'm done listening to dead men. But don't pretend you were trying to help us." Jax moved towards the priest, Scarlett sitting back down. "Greater good or not, we were just a means to your own end. You don't give a shit about this family. And the John Teller you knew 20 years ago... he didn't give a shit either."

SPOV

I paced outside, hands shaking nervously. It was cold out, my breath coming out foggy. But I didn't care. I wasn't going anywhere until I saw Jax and Abel. I was terrified somehting bad was going to happen, that Jimmy would just kill Jax or something like that...

"Hey."

I turned around, my eyes landing on Cherry. Out of everyone I had expected it to be, she was on the bottom of that list.

"Heard you were around here." I looked to her as she pulled out a smoke, standing next to me. "Sorry I haven't come to see you... things have been a little hectic, you know?"

"I get it." She nodded, sighing as she looked to the ground. "I heard about Half-Sack..."

My heart ached at the mention of my late best friend. There never a day that went by that I didn't think about him, how I could have changed things...

"I was there when it happened. Got knocked out by Cameron... he left me there lying on the floor next to Kip."

"Shit." She shook her head. "I had no idea."

I just shrugged cold heartedly, trying not to get too emotional about it. If I let myself get worked up, I'd make myself sick.

As the silence went by, I knew I should say something to make her feel better... "He loved you." She looked up at me with question. "Up until the day he died."

"He didn't get another Old Lady?"

"No, hardly ever saw him with croweaters too. He was hung up on you, too in love." A smile formed on my lips as I remembered the countless times he'd drunkenly rant about her.

She dropped her cigarette to the floor, extinguishing it with her shoe. "I heard you and Juice are official now."

Cherry and Kip had known from day one that Juice and I had something. Even before we had slept together, before we had done anything. Through the flirty comments and suggestive looks, Kip and Cherry were the only two that could tell there was more behind it all.

"I know you and O'Neill were... something." I had heard about O'Neill and McGee, how they had been killed after Samcro found out the two of them had been on Jimmy's payroll. I didn't grieve O'Neill, though I had know McGee, a First Nine and friend of my father. But I showed my respect to Cherry. "I'm sorry."

She just shrugged, hugging herself. "Don't be." With a sigh she moved around me. "It was nice seeing you. I hope everything with Abel goes well... you and Juice too."

I offered a small smile. "It was good seeing you Cherry."

She just nodded before turning around, heading for the clubhouse. I felt bad for her. After years of hanging around The Devil's Tribe in Nevada before finding Kip, only to be shipped off to Belfast where she became a sweetbutt again. I wondered if she'd ever get a break...

A car pulled up, my eyes landing on Jax as he parked the car.

I rushed forward, pulling the door open worriedly. There had been a little voice in the back of my head saying we'd never get Abel back. I had to see him, to make sure that voice was wrong.

And there he was, sitting in the baby carrier on the back seat. My hear leapt from my chest as joyful and relieved tears began to pour from my eyes. Reaching for him, I pulled him into my arms, rocking him softly as I kissed his head over and over. Jax got out of the car, smiling at the sight of his baby in my arms.

"He's home."

Jax nodded, resting a hand on my back before leading us inside.

...

"Mazeltov!" Bobby cheered, everyone raising their glasses and cheering back.

I sat on the couch next to mum as she held Abel. His had gripped on to my finger, and I found myself on the brink of tears yet again as I looked down at his sweet face.

"Welcome home, kid." Clay nodded to Abel, my smile growing.

Everyone laughed and talked around us, but I was set on Abel. My eyes glued to him as his little hand held my finger, his eyes looking around the room. He was the sweetest thing I had ever seen. I had never been happier.

I felt someone kiss my head, their hand resting on my shoulder.

Looking up I smiled at Juice as he leaned over Trinity to get to me. He smiled back down at my nephew and I, straightening up. "I'm gonna go load the truck." he told me.

I nodded, usually right behind him ready to help. But this time I just smiled back down at Abel. "I'll be right here," I told him, not looking back up.

Once he was gone, Trinity moved back over so she was closer to me, looking down at Abel. "He's beautiful."

I turned to her, the first time we'd actually been this close since I found out about John... "He's your's too, you know." Her eyes darted to mine, surprised I knew the truth. "Jax told me everything." I simply shrugged.

Her face softened as she smiled. "He's a good brother that lad."

I shrugged. "He's a pain in the ass. You'll learn once you get to know him." She just laughed.

Calming down, her eyes landed back on Abel. "It's always just been my ma and me." I noticed how she didn't add McGee to the equation. "I've always thought that was it for us. Not unless I had a baby..."

To find out, after all these years, that you had a family you'd never met... I guess we both knew how that felt. Although, I had always had the club, my mum and Jax. I always had someone to turn to throughout the years. But she only had her mum.

"Pass me your phone," I told her, and without hesitating she gave it too me. I entered in my number, the club's number and Jax's. Passing it back I nodded. "You need anything, you give us a call." I nodded to where Jax stood, Bobby and Ope behind him the three talking. "We're only a phone call away."

She smiled, nodding. "I should go talk to him," she noted as we continued to look at our brother. "I'll be back," she told me before getting up, moving to Jax. Ope and Bobby moved away as she stopped in front of him.

...

I walked beside Chibs as we stepped of the stairs, moving to the truck. He threw his bag up, Juice catching it, his eyes locking on mine before he grinned. I shook my head, smiling, feeling better than I had in months. Everything was falling into place, finally it was all working out.

Chibs kissed me on the forehead. "I gotta go say goodbye to my girls."

I nodded, giving him a quick hug. I knew it pained him to leave his family once again.

Juice climbed off the truck, stepping up to me and wrapping his arms around my waist. I smiled up at him, hands on his chest. I couldn't wait to get home, to be with the rest of our family.

My phone vibrated in my pocket. Pulling it out I smiled down at the contact, Tig's name flashing on the screen. "I'll be home soon Tiggy. No need to get your panties in a twist."

"Lett..."

His voice is what told me something was wrong. I could tell just by hearing him say my name, sounded defeated and pissed all at the same time.

"What happened?" I asked, Juice looking down at me with a frown, the happiness left my body as it went tense.

I listened to Tig as he told me about Tara. I looked over at Jax who was distracted by the sight of his son in his arms. I couldn't do this to him, not now. Telling him Tara was missing would just devastate him.

"I can't tell him Tig. I can't do that." My voice shook.

"I'll tell him," was all he said.

I stepped out of Juice's arms as he still looked at me questioningly. But I just shook my head at him, moving over to my brother.

He looked up at me, his smiling falling as he looked me in the eyes. "What is it?"

I offered him the phone. "You need to take this."
