The next morning Gemma walked into the house around nine seeing the boys watching TV and Jax and Kris eating breakfast in the kitchen. "Mornin' baby" she said kissing Jax's cheek. Kris looked up from her coffee mug as Gemma kissed her cheek.
"I don't understand" Kris laughed "It's nine am, and you look like you just got out of the salon. How does this happen? I look like a wet rat." Gemma and Jax laughed as she took a seat next to Kris. "You're supposed to deny, deny, deny" she said rolling her eyes at Jax
"I didn't say anything" he said defensively "You look fabulous Kris"
"Nice try" Gemma chuckled "You know I'm not waiting" she said impatiently
Kris rolled her eyes "Not yet, Gem."
She reached into her oversized bag and tossed a pregnancy test on the table "Yes. Let's go."
Kris looked at Jax with pleading eyes "Ma" he laughed "Not now."
"I wanna know if I'm gonna be a grandma again!" she said pushing the test towards Kristina "Let's go"
"But I promised Jess I'd wait for her"
"Okay" Gemma replied as if that wasn't a problem. She reached back into her bag and tossed another test on the table. Kris and Jax laughed and shook their heads.
"You must've looked quite interesting buying these" Kris smiled and took a deep breath "I don't need to pee though"
"That's fine" Gemma smiled "I'll out wait you. But I will go and see if the other pain in the ass is awake yet" she said grabbing a test and walking out the back door.
Kris tilted her head to the side and looked at Jax "I know" he said apologetically
"I really wanna wait."
"Let her have this, babe. C'mon."
She took a deep breath and sighed "She ain't comin' in the bathroom with me."
"She might try. She's seen it all anyway." he chuckled
Kris giggled and shook her head "In a medical environment. She ain't watchin' me pee. No way."
Jax grabbed the box and held it up "After you"
"Ugh" she groaned "If it's negative I'm gonna be upset."
He stood up and walked out of the kitchen "You'll be fine!"
She put her coffee down and walked out of the kitchen, following Jax down the hall. "We gotta hurry up" she chuckled walking into the bathroom and grabbing the test from him. "Your mom is gonna be back in here any minute." Jax smiled and shook his head, he knew how relentless his mother was and they couldn't keep this from her even if they tried. Kris popped the cap onto the test and tossed it on the counter while she washed her hands. "Got about two minutes" she said impatiently and sat down on the toilet seat, bringing her knees to her chest, staring at the clock on her phone.
As if on instinct they heard the back door open and Gemma came walking into the back door "I knew it" she laughed storming down the hallway and making her way into their bedroom "Jess is still sleepin'. Well?"
"Got about another minute" Kris said biting her thumb nail. Jax looked over at Gemma and glanced towards the door. Gemma smiled and rolled her eyes with a nod, heading out of the bathroom. Kris looked up at him and smiled "Thank you"
As much as she loves Gemma with every bit of her heart, she didn't need an audience and she'd know thirty seconds after the fact anyway. Looking down at the test, Kristina took a deep breath and her face fell. She got up and threw it in the garbage, storming out of the bathroom ahead of Jax and got into bed. "Shit, Kris" Jax said softly "It's still early, you don't know for sure."
"This is why I wanted to wait!" She pulled the blanket over her head. "I'm going back to sleep"
He rubbed his face frustratingly and sat on the bed next to her, pulling the blanket down "You want my mom to take the boys for a few hours?" She sniffled and kept quiet, keeping her face opposite of him. He got back up and walked out of the room.
"Well?" Gemma asked. Jax shook his head and leaned against the wall "Shit" she whispered
"That's why she wanted to wait Ma. Can you take them for a few hours? She crawled right into bed." Gemma nodded and grabbed the boys' jackets from the chair, quickly zipping them up and headed out the door. Jax walked back down the hall and got back into bed. "C'mon, babe." he drawled
She shook her head "I didn't want to do it right now. I said it."
"I know. But pretty much the same thing happened with the boys, you remember?"
"Yeah" she sniffled and put her head on his chest, wrapping her arm around his waist.
"And when you went to the hospital, they were able to tell. You didn't even know before that. It might not show for a week. So don't be upset. And please don't be pissed at her."
Kris shook her head "I'm not mad at your mom. Why would I be? She's excited. I'm pissed at my fucking uterus and hormone levels, that's what." she said wiping the tears from her eyes "Stupid fucking hormones. I don't get it. It's over a day now, it should show up, right?" Jax chuckled and shrugged his shoulders. "This isn't funny!" she cried, and tried to push herself off of him but he held her against his chest.
Jax chuckled again "I'm not laughing at you. Look, I ain't a doctor, but you sure as shit sound pregnant."
"No! The test said no!"
He rolled his eyes and nodded "Take another one later. Alright?"
"No" she protested. "I'm not taking another one."
"Yes. You don't know if you'll get a different result. Please?"
"No" she repeated
Jax ran his hand through his hair "Fuck that test. You're just as much of a delight right now as you were two years ago- stubborn as all hell. You're taking another one later."
She rolled over and pulled the blanket up over her head "No. I'm not."
"God, fucking kill me right now. Please." he groaned "Kris."
"No" she repeated, making him laugh.
"Kristina."
"No."
Jax stood up and walked over to his sneakers, slipping them on his feet. "I'm going to the store. I'm picking up another test for you and when I get back, you're gonna nap and then take it later on. End of discussion."
"No, I'm not"
"Girl, if I gotta hold you down, that's what you're gonna do."
"Where's she at?" Julie asked walking into the backyard with Happy around six seeing Opie and Jax sitting at the table.
"In bed with Jess." Jax sighed
Happy chuckled "She got bored with your ass?"
They all laughed and Jax shook his head "Gem came over this morning and begged her to take a pregnancy test. It was negative so she crawled right into bed."
Opie took a deep breath and sighed "Which caused Jess to get all upset so they've been locked in there since noon except appearing for the occasional cigarette."
Julie sighed and looked towards the house "Shit. Alright let me go see what I can do." She said as she walked inside. "Kris?" She called out
"In bed" Kris groaned. Julie walked into the room to see the two of them under the covers still in pajamas with a bottle of wine.
"I see we did our hair and makeup today" she chuckled
"I'm never getting out of this bed." Kris sighed "Ever." she pouted. Her and Jess scooted over to let Julie in.
Julie kicked off her shoes and crawled under the covers "Why you being all mopey?"
Kris scooted down into the bed and grabbed the pillow, putting it over her face "Because, the test was negative!" she whined, her voice cracking.
Jess pulled the pillow away from Kris' face and cuddled up to her "The fuck is wrong with you two?" Julie laughed "Shit. You didn't get your period yet, chill."
"I can't chill. I'm all wound up."
"Hey, I agreed to stay for a few months and do my dad's work from here. I ain't stayin' if you're gonna be all crazy and shit."
"You're stayin' because you're getting a ride of a lifetime."
Julie rolled her eyes "For now. We'll see what happens the next time the conversation is brought up."
"He didn't dismiss you. And that's what Happy does. He'll tell you to fuck off if he feels like it. The fact that he said he cares a lot about you? Fuck, that might as well be a marriage proposal."
"Well I asked him when he wants me to come back here since I've been at his place every night, his response was 'don't push it Tiny, I didn't kick you out yet.'"
Jess and Kris chuckled "Well, he never ever let's girls over his house. Consider yourself married." Jess smiled. They heard footsteps walking down the hall and the three men appeared in the doorway.
"How you doin'?" Jax asked seeing his darling wife with a messy bun, glasses and blanket pulled up under her arms sandwiched in between Jess and Julie.
Kris furrowed her brow and pointed to the TV "Daryl Dixon. That's how I'm doin'."
Opie rolled his eyes "This that crossbow mother fucker she keeps talking about?"
"You mean your daughter's future husband?" Jess winked "So she says."
"Fuck outta here." Opie scoffed "He's how old?"
"In real life? Mid forties."
Jax, Happy and Opie grimaced "What are we eating for dinner?" Jax asked ignoring the TV
"I'm not hungry" Kris pouted "I just wanna lay here, and watch the Walking Dead."
"You gotta eat somethin'. My mom's keeping the boys, they're lovin' the catering service over at her place."
"Maybe I should go there then" she smiled
Jax rolled his eyes and chuckled "I'm asking you what you want to eat. I'll go and get it."
"I don't care" she sighed "Whatever you want"
"Chinese?"
She scrunched her face and shook her head "No"
"Pizza?"
"Eh" she groaned.
Jax pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed. Happy took his gun from his holster and held it out for Jax "You wanna do it yourself? I'll put it right between your eyes, quick and painless."
Jax and Opie laughed "Kris" he begged "I'm asking you, what do you want?"
"I don't care"
"Give me the gun" He pleaded, taking it from Happy's hand "No pizza, no Chinese. Sushi?"
"No"
He rubbed his face and shook his head "What about tacos?" Jess chuckled "Mmm. Ope, get tacos."
"Good call" Kris smiled "Tacos"
"And a bottle of tequila" Happy grumbled, "Tiny, you start actin' like that and I'll fucking kill myself."
"Don't worry Hap. I ain't as crazy as her ass." Julie replied grabbing Kris' wine glass. "Bye now" The men slowly shuffled out of the room and left the girls to the TV. "You're gonna be the death of him, you realize this?"
"Nah" Kris chuckled "He loves me too much."
"Oh, I don't doubt that. But you must've been a real bitch when you were pregnant."
Kris scoffed and shook her head. Jess snorted "Yeah, okay"
"I was not!"
"Whatever you say" She chuckled.
"I wasn't!" Kris pouted "Jules?"
"Yeah?"
"Can you get me more wine?" she asked, nuzzling her shoulder
Julie rolled her eyes and sighed, tossing the comforter off herself and standing up. "Anything else princess?"
"Daryl Dixon"
"Can't do that Kris. Your husband will be back soon." she called out as she made her way out of the room.
"He can show me to use that crossbow. Any day." Jess mumbled into her glass "Any. Day."
"I'd brave a zombie apocalypse for him. Hands down."
Jess snorted and shook her head "How you think the boys would hold up in a zombie apocalypse?"
Julie came back into the room and scooted back into the bed handing her cousin the cold bottle of wine and an empty glass for herself "Honestly? I think Tig would be the last one standing."
"Zombies?" Julie asked
Jess and Kris nodded with a chuckle "Tig would have the zombies running from him. He'd go after the hottest ones, regardless if they had a face or not." Jess added. Kris and Julie howled with laughter "I'm pretty sure that's true. I mean, the boys have been to jail, but I dunno how long they would last."
"Kris! C'mon!" Jax called out from the living room.
She groaned and threw her head back "I wanna eat in bed"
Julie hopped out and slipped on her shoes, pulling Kris' arm. "Let's go. You need to get up."
Kris huffed and scooted off the bed with Jess "He better put on Walking Dead" she grumbled walking out of the room with her wine glass. "Channel thirty" Kris said sitting next to him on the couch
Jax sighed and handed her the remote "There isn't enough alcohol in the world" he said under his breath.
Happy popped the top off the tequila bottle "I beg to differ" he said taking a swig and handed it to Jax.
The girls returned to work that Thursday, keeping themselves on pins and needles and agreed they'd try to take their minds off of it all- although they were the only two that felt that way. When they dropped the boys off in the cafeteria, they walked upstairs and Jess followed her into her classroom. Chris was already there, piled under the mound of paperwork he didn't bother to do over break. "Hey sweetie" Kris said, dropping her bag on the floor. "We've got a half hour before we get to hear screaming"
Chris rolled his eyes and groaned "I'm fucking exhausted" he sighed, checking off the papers. "Madison had some sort of virus and was up all night last night."
Kris nodded and took a seat at her desk "Need some help?" she asked, grabbing a pen from her cup holder
He grabbed a stack and tossed some in front of her and Jess "How's Jax and Ope?"
Jess smiled "Good. Happy to be home. How's Kara?"
Chris nodded and continued on his work without responding. Over the last year and a half, their marriage had been rocky to say the least. They were trying their damnedest to work everything out for their two kids, their drama helped alleviate the absence of the boys for Kris and Jess, keeping their minds elsewhere at work. "Surprised you two ain't knocked up again yet."
Kris and Jess snorted and shook their heads "Jerk." Kris smiled
"I'll take that as a yes?" he asked raising an eyebrow
Kris shrugged "Maybe. Not one hundred percent sure."
"I'm thoroughly excited to ensure your psycho ass for nine months while pregnant. You were a delight the last few weeks before you delivered the last time."
"Why does everyone keep saying that?"
They both looked over at her raising an eyebrow "You serious?" Chris asked
"Yes!" she whined "Was I really a bitch?"
"Deadass" Chris snorted, walking over to the window and sliding it open, letting the cool air into the room "I see you got yourselves a detail again?"
The girls gave him a confused look and peeked out the window "Fuckin' Jimmy" Jess sighed shaking her head. She walked over to her bag and pulled her phone out dialing Opie "Why is Jimmy here?" she asked without even saying hello "Opie, everything is fine. We can't keep going through this. I'm not asking, I'm telling you" she growled. Chris chuckled and looked over at Kristina who was biting her lip, trying not to laugh "Mira! Pandejo." (look! asshole!) she seethed, causing them both to shout with laughter "Listen VP, let's get one thing straight. You don't make the rules here, I do." Kris brought her hand to her forehead and sighed listening to Jess tear Opie a new asshole "I don't give a shit. Get him outta here or I will. You've got ten minutes before I go outside and cut his ass up" she growled, hanging up the call. "I miss the good ol' days when you could slam a phone down for more emphasis" she said out loud to the two of them.
"Aren't you being a little tough on him?" Chris asked waving to Jimmy from the window
"Fuck outta here. Comes back after a year and expects me to go back to living by his rules? I ain't playin' that. He's got ten minutes to get Jimmy out of here." Kris' phone chimed and she looked over to see a text from Jax causing her to let out a loud laugh as she replied back "What's so funny?"
"The fuck is wrong with Jess?' And I replied back 'Get rid of the escort.' to which he just replied 'Ain't happenin'"
"He better fucking get rid of him. I don't need a babysitter."
"What crawled up your ass?" Chris asked
"Nothing" she replied with the same tone
They raised their eyebrows at Jess and nodded returning to their work. They heard the kids running up the steps and sighed "alright. We got this, only today and tomorrow." Chris sighed
Jess tossed down the pen and headed out of the room meeting her students and Ashley next door. "Hey hon" Ashley smiled and was only met by Jess' glare. "You okay?" She asked, as they headed inside
"Opie's got us a detail all day. Told him to tell the kid to go but he won't." Jess sighed putting her bags in the closet.
The students were unpacking and Ashley snickered looking out the window. They could hear Kristina and Chris laughing loudly next door "well, looks like you made biker boy pretty spiteful." Ashley said pointing
Jess' eyebrows furrowed and she stalked over to the window seeing Tig and Rat join Jimmy in the parking lot. "That fu-" before she could get the words out she checked herself realizing where she was. "I'm gonna kill him."
"She's gonna kill you, Ope" Jax said as they worked in the garage with the toddlers running around the lot.
"Good" Opie chuckled "I bet she's fuckin losing her mind right now. Can't wait for that text. You would've done the same damn thing."
"This ain't about me"
"Yeah. This time."
"She's pissed as shit. I've heard her talk to you like that once. Just once."
Opie ran his hand over his neck "She was like that since she woke up. I don't know what crawled up her ass."
During her lunch break, Jess stormed out of the building through the parking lot, heading for Tig, Jimmy and Rat. "Why are you still here?" She scowled
"Jeeze" Tig chuckled "nice to see you too sunshine"
"Anyone ever tell you you look like Sofia Vegra? Especially when you're pissed?" Jimmy asked
She unlocked Kris' car and sat in the passenger seat with her feet dangling and lit a cigarette "Real cute, Jim. She's about twenty pounds lighter than me. And much bigger tits."
The men laughed and nodded "Ope never liked the skeletons." Tig smiled
She shook her head dismissing his comment "This shit is a pain in my ass. Don't you all have better things to do?"
"It's what we're told" Jimmy replied
Jess rolled her eyes "and just magically the two of you appear? Why?"
"Well because Opie said you were bitchin'" Rat smiled "by the way, with your windows open, we could hear you screaming from here."
Pulling on her cigarette she raised an eyebrow "oh yeah?"
"Who's Jeremy?" Jimmy asked
Jess laughed loudly and finally smiled for the first time all day "oh it wasn't that bad! You didn't hear Kris?"
"That's expected" Tig nodded "She's been shouting all morning. And Chris had his head in his hands like he was gonna cry while she's holding coffee and explaining some shit on the board."
"You don't need to tell me. I'm right next door. You guys can go. We've only got three more hours. I'm sure you have better things to do." She said tossing her cigarette butt
"Ope said to stay. We're staying." Jimmy replied.
Jess huffed and picked up her phone, dialing Opie's number. "Yeah?" He gruffly answered
"Tell them to leave" she replied
She could tell he was rolling his eyes "They ain't leaving Jess. So get on with your day."
"You spiteful ass. You send Tig and Rat over here because I told you to call Jimmy back?"
Opie chuckled at his wife's temper "Yep! Now go back to work."
"Not till you send them on their way. You've guys got other shit to do. It doesn't look good with three Sons sitting in the lot at an elementary school, Opie."
"Don't care. Go back to work."
"Listen, VP." She growled "you don't wanna start shit with me right now. Call them back."
"Bye Jess." He said condescendingly as he hung up.
She stared at the phone and her jaw dropped. "That mother fucker. I'm gonna kick his ass."
"Someones all bright and kind today." Jimmy sarcastically mumbled
"I'm gonna send out the princess. Just you wait." She seethed marching back inside.
"The fuck crawled up her ass?" Tig asked as his phone started buzzing. He pulled it from his pocket seeing Opies number. "What's up?"
"You ain't leavin'" Opie said
"I know. You've got yourself a fucking delight. She's on somethin else right now."
Opie sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose "Yeah, I can tell. Just ignore her." He said hanging up the phone.
Kris looked as though she had the morning from hell when she walked out during her lunch break around twelve-thirty. "What's goin' on guys?" She asked, taking her keys out of her pocket.
They all chuckled and shrugged "You talk to Sunshine?" Tig asked
Kris rolled her eyes "She's on fire today." she smiled, lighting a cigarette.
"On fire? If she could've reached through her phone to smack Ope, she would've." Jimmy said "Why she so pissed?"
"Dunno. She was pissed this morning. But it's entertaining."
"For you." He groaned
"Well my lunch break only lasts until about one fifteen, we're out in about ninety minutes. I'm gonna go grab coffee. You guys want anything?" They nodded in reply as she got into her car "Alright, I'll be back in about twenty minutes."
Kris thought maybe buying Jess her caramel latte would calm her ass down but it just made her more awake to kick Opie's ass when they got to the garage around twenty after two. She couldn't have been quicker to hop out of Kris' car when she pulled in and made eye contact with Opie, pointing to Gemma's office that was empty at the moment. Opie looked at Jax and rolled his eyes with a smile, bracing himself for what was sure to be quite interesting. He closed the door behind him and she was standing against the desk with her arms crossed. "Well?" she asked, raising her eyebrows
"Well what?"
"You gonna apologize?"
Opie squinted in confusion "Apologize? For what?"
"Let's see…. hanging up on me, not removing the detail when I told you to… I can go on."
"I ain't apologizing for shit. The fuck is up your ass today?"
"My ass?! You're the one with the problem. Nothing's wrong with me."
"Well it sure as shit sounds like something is" he said, leaning up against the door. "You've been acting like a bitch since you woke up. What the fuck is going on?"
Her eyes widened and she brought her hand to her mouth as her eyes watered "Fuck you Opie" she cried, running out of the office. She picked up Gabby and got into Kris' car, slamming the door shut.
Opie walked back into the garage and looked at Jax and Kris "What happened there?" she asked
"Your guess is as good as mine." He sighed
Kris nodded and looked over at Jax "What time you guys comin' home?"
"Six or so" he said
"Alrighty. And Ope.." she chuckled "I wish I had an answer for you, darling. I'll see what I can get out of her."
Opie went back to working on the car in front of him "You do whatever you're gonna do. She's gotta calm the fuck down."
Kenny and Abel of course declared they would stay with their dads at the shop until they were ready to come home. Ellie was already home with Juice and Kerrianne waiting for everyone else to arrive. She saw Jess climb out of the car with Gabby, she clearly wasn't happy.
"You wanna sit with me?" Kris asked, helping the twins out of the back seat.
Jess shook her head "I'm fine. Gonna help Ellie with homework and start dinner." she said, heading into the house.
Kris took a deep breath and sighed grabbing her bag from the floor of the car. Juice and Kerrianne walked out of Jess' house and made their way across the grass. Kerrianne pointed backwards and winced, not knowing what was going on. Kris shrugged and unlocked the door, letting the two of them in. "She okay?" Juice asked
Kris shrugged again greeting her dog and letting him outside. "Been like that since this morning. Argued with Ope just now. I'm leaving it alone."
Juice nodded "Alright. You good here?"
"Yeah we're good. You guys can go and enjoy the rest of your afternoon" she winked
Kerri rolled her eyes "Disgusting. Bye Kris."
Jess put Gabby down for a nap quietly as soon as she got in and kicked her feet up, trying to drown herself in work. Three hours later, around six, she was starting dinner and dreading for Opie to come walking in the door and start up an argument. At that moment, he would've gotten the knife she was using lodged into his arm. She almost always had some sort of mellow music playing when she cooked, but angry Eminem was doing it for her at the moment and Ellie appeared from her room and sat down at the table, lowering the music so she could hear herself think. "Hey" she said softly at Jess who had her back turned to her.
"How was school?" Jess asked without any emotion in her voice. She looked through the doorway and peeked over at Gabby, making sure she was still engrossed in her coloring book.
"Good. You okay?"
Jess tossed the chicken she was cutting up into the pot "Yep. Why?"
"Are you sure? Eminem really isn't your everyday thing."
Jess sighed and ran her hands under the sink "I'm fine, El"
Ellie pulled her mouth to the side and shrugged "I'm sorry. You don't seem like yourself."
"Just tired." she said, grabbing her beer from next to the sink and sitting at the table with Ellie.
"My dad make you mad?" Jess chuckled and brought the beer to her lips with a nod "What did he do?"
"Nothing for you to worry over, sweetie."
"Oh, c'mon" she pleaded "All I get to hear all day is the drama from my friends. This is good stuff. I promise, I won't tell."
"Baby, it's not my place for me to ever say anything against your dad to you. No matter how much he might make me mad."
"So? Just tell me what happened. It's not saying anything against him."
Jess rolled her eyes and took another sip "I was just upset that we had Jimmy sitting at the school. I was a little mean about it, so your dad sent over Rat and Tig too. I called him and told him to have them leave. He wouldn't have it. Keep in mind colorful words were exchanged on my part. And then when I went to pick up Gabby, I went to talk to him and we just both said some things. That's all."
"But why were you upset about Jimmy being there?"
"Because we don't need a babysitter."
"You tell dad that?"
Jess chuckled "Yep. Sure did."
"I'm gonna use your words against you right now. I believe it was 'He has one of the biggest hearts of anyone I've ever met.' and 'He does it because he loves you.'"
"El" she smiled
"What? When I was mad at him that's what you said."
"It's different El. Different conversation."
She smiled and shrugged, hearing her dad's bike pull into the driveway "I tried." Opie walked into the house with his guard up as if he was bracing for impact. Gabby jumped off of the couch and ran up to him, inciting him to pick her up as he walked into the kitchen. "Hi daddy" Ellie smiled sweetly, trying to read his mood.
Opie kissed Gabby's cheek and passed her off to Ellie "Watch her for a few minutes." he said waiting for her to leave the kitchen. Ellie looked over at Jess and walked out, really wanting to hear what this conversation was going to be about- she thrived on hearing them argue, for the main purpose of learning how Jess got over on him each and every time. Opie grabbed a beer from the fridge and sat at the table looking over at Jess who still wasn't looking at him. She leaned over and turned the music back up, and walked back to the stove. "Jessica" he sighed in an aggravated tone, turning down the volume.
"Ope, please. I'm tired. I'm not in the mood to argue."
"Sit down."
She took a deep breath and put the lid back on the pot. Turning to face him, she leaned up against the counter top, finishing off her beer. "I'll stand."
"What is going on with you?"
"I'm tired of your shit, that's what! You've been home, what? Like eighteen days and already starting shit up? C'mon, Opie. I did this shit by myself for a fucking year. I don't need you to come back and all of a sudden start changing things."
"I put Jimmy on you because of the problems we're having right now. I don't do things for no reason. Don't question what I do, ever."
She rolled her eyes and scoffed "Really? Don't question what you do? You've got a lot of fucking balls. What have you been doing the last year? Wanna know what I've been doing? Raising three kids and working and going to school. That's what I've been doing. And we've been just fine."
"Just fine? You call coming to see me once a week and sobbing just fine? Sometimes missing work so you could come without the kids and really break down? I call that hanging on by a thread, Jess. And I wasn't on fucking vacation. How long you been waiting to throw that in my face?" he asked, his volume was increasing and he took a deep breath to control his nerves.
"That has nothing to do with Jimmy following me, and you know it. This…" she began, motioning between him and her with her finger "This is different now. And you're gonna start listening to what I have to say. The day you were taken away in handcuffs, was the day I stepped up and took care of everything."
Opie chuckled, rubbing his beard "Everything? Was the club not forking over a grand a week from runs just so you didn't have to scramble? And they were paying all the bills? And stashing some away? And took care of your fucking school books? My mom was here practically every day, and you had Gemma and Fiona. WE went away because you all decided to hang around out front and we risked it all to get you back. So if you think this is my fault for leaving…" he rolled his eyes and tried to get back on topic "It is what it is. I put Jimmy on you for a reason. You wanna fight me on it, you'll get an even bigger detail. Period."
Jess arched her eyebrow as if she was challenging his authority. "And what if I say no?"
He gave a sly grin "You said no today, how well did that work out for you?"
"Well, what if I just decide to tell my boss I'm concerned? She'll call Roosevelt and you'll all be forced to leave." she thought she was being intimidating, but it hardly ever worked on him.
"And? They'll sit on the corner. You wanna get them arrested for trespassing? VP's old lady calling the cops on the Sons? Don't care what you say, Jess. You wouldn't do it."
She pushed out her chair and walked over to him punching his arm as hard as she could "Asshole!"
Opie snickered and looked up at her "Ouch"
"Dinner will be done in five minutes." she said taking the bottle of wine from the fridge "Enjoy." she walked away from the kitchen and opened the basement door, locking it behind her. Opie went to follow her but realized it was locked, he rubbed under his eyes with his thumb and middle finger and looked down the hallway- Ellie was standing there trying to hold in a laugh.
"What you smiling about?" he asked
Ellie shrugged sweetly "Daddy, she's gonna kill you in your sleep."
"Yeah" he sighed "I know. Do you know why she's upset?"
"Well… she sounds like I do every few weeks…."
Opie rolled his eyes "Thanks"
"Kerri said before that she might be pregnant. You think that's it?"
He shook his head and sighed "I dunno baby."
"Maybe you should ask her?"
"And get stabbed?"
"You've been shot before, you can handle it."
Opie chuckled "C'mon, let's eat."
Skillfully picking the lock after Gabby went to bed around eight, Opie walked downstairs and Jess was laying down watching TV. "You better?" he asked as calmly as he could. Jess glared up from the screen towards him and then looked back. "You wanna eat something?"
"I'm fine" she mumbled as he kicked off his boots and laid down next to her.
"You gotta eat something, Jess"
"Are you fuckin' deaf?" she sassed
Opie's jaw dropped and he looked at her not sure as to what to say "Jessica. What the fuck? What is going on with you?!"
"Can you go sleep upstairs? I just… You're pissing me off right now."
"No. I'm not going upstairs. Tell me what the fuck is going on with you."
"Nothing!" she shouted "Stop asking me! I'm pissed off! That's what! And I'm tired of your shit! Go away!"
Opie threw up his hands and marched back upstairs, slamming the door shut behind him. He tirelessly ran his hand through his hair and pulled his cigarettes out of his pocket "It'll be okay" Ellie said confidently looking up at him from the couch "Daddy, just apologize."
"Ellie…" he sighed, putting his cigarette to his lips and lit it "Not now"
"I'm not trying to get into your business. But I'm just telling you what I know will make her feel better. Just say you're sorry. Even if you don't even know what you're sorry for." Opie looked at her as if she should stop talking, but she was his daughter after all, and that wasn't going to happen. "Don't say I didn't warn you. You say sorry, you'll save yourself a lot of headaches if you do."
Opie didn't respond but just sat quietly. He silently smoked his cigarette and knew Ellie was right but he also knew if he went to talk to her right now she'd probably have an aneurism. Ellie could tell he was beside himself, and felt like she had to help- she could easily use this against him during their next argument. "I'll be back" she said, patting his leg and standing up. She walked into the kitchen and put left overs on a plate for Jess and headed downstairs. Jess was in the same position Opie had left her "you okay?" She asked putting the plate down on the nightstand. Jess nodded and stubbed out her cigarette. "You gotta eat something." Ellie pleaded handing the food to her.
Jess smiled and nodded "thanks"
"Don't thank me. I just want you to feel better."
"El. I'm fine."
"Wasn't it you that told me I had to be honest with you? Come on."
"I told you before, I'm just tired" she said with her mouth full of food.
"Alrighty" she sighed "but Dads worried about you."
Jess raised her eyebrows in response and continued eating. Her and Ellie sat quietly until she was done and set the plate down on the nightstand "go get some sleep. You've got school tomorrow." Ellie nodded and took the plate and skipped up the steps. Opie was still sitting in the same position as she left him, watching tv.
"Goodnight daddy" she said walking down the hall and closing herself in the bedroom.
Opie waited about another half hour before deciding to go test the waters again. He turned off all the lights and headed downstairs. Jess was on her last glass of wine, the bottle sitting empty next to her. "That really a good idea?" He asked
Jess shrugged and emptied the contents of the glass into her mouth "makes everything that much better."
"You ain't gonna be saying that tomorrow."
Jess grabbed her lighter and put a cigarette between her lips "I'll be fine" she said
"Can I sleep here or am I gonna be stabbed?"
She lit her cigarette and walked over to the door, opening it and leaning against the frame "Sure"
"Sure you're gonna stab me? Or sure I can sleep here?"
"I guess we'll find out, won't we?"
Opie rolled his eyes and pulled his stash from the nightstand "Come sit down"
Jess tossed her cigarette out the door and walked over to the bed, crawling under the covers. "You sharing?" she asked as he lit the joint
He smiled and nodded, exhaling smoke and handing it to her "Anything for you, baby"
Jess inhaled and exhaled smoke, passing it back to him, putting her head on his shoulder. Opie looked down at her, slowly exhaling "You're not feeling well, Jess. You gotta let me help you."
"I'm fine, I'm just tired."
"So then let me take care of you"
Jess brought her hand to her mouth "I'm sorry!" she cried, wrapping her arm around his waist
Opie chuckled and put his arm around her shoulders "Shit. Babe you're fucked up right now"
"I know!" she sobbed "I'm so sorry Ope. Fuck!"
He rubbed her bicep with his thumb "Just take it easy. Go to sleep. Alright?"
She nodded and closed her eyes, taking a deep breath "I love you, Opie. I'm really sorry for today"
"I know baby. I love you too. Just go to sleep."
Jess was lightly snoring within minutes against his chest. He looked down at her and shook his head, she was most definitely pregnant. He knew it. She wasn't like this with Gabby- calm, collected and woke up with morning sickness only a handful of times. He remembered when Donna was pregnant with Kenny- she was awful, and that's putting it mildly. He just had to get her through the next day and then force her to go to the doctors after work- "maybe she'll calm the fuck down if she finds out" he thought to himself.
Kris woke up around four thirty and couldn't go back to sleep. She stared at the ceiling, listening to Jax and Slash snore made her chuckle to herself and she couldn't imagine being outnumbered by males six to one if her next baby was a boy, but also knew she'd end up in drag out fights if she had a girl by the time her daughter was a teenager if she was anything like her- or better yet, her father. She crawled out of bed and walked into the bathroom, rubbing her hands over her face and staring in the mirror. She looked up on the shelf and looked at the pregnancy test that he had bought her the other day. "What the hell, why not?" she said out loud to no one but herself. She leaned up against the counter staring at the test watching the first line appear and waiting for the next. She didn't even need to wait the full allotted time before the next line appeared. She snatched it up and bolted out of the bathroom, leaping onto the bed making Jax sit up suddenly, trying to focus his eyes. "Jax!" she smiled, pushing the test against his chest.
Still half asleep, he looked down and realized what it was "Ew, Kris…" he groaned, rubbing the sleep from his face
She shook his shoulders "The cap is on it. Relax, jerk. Look!"
He rubbed his eyes and tried to focus on it. She wrapped her arms around his neck and he fell back down onto the bed, pulling her in which incited Slash to excitedly jump up on top of them, making direct contact with his crotch. "Ow FUCK!" He shouted bringing his knees up into the fetal position.
"Shit!" She hissed "Are you okay? Slash! Off!" She growled. The dog tilted his head to the side, almost challenging her.
"OFF!" Jax grunted, making him leap off of the bed and run out of the room. "God dammit" he sighed
Kris chuckled and kissed the side of his head "Are you okay?"
"Those fucking claws" he moaned, stretching his legs out
"Daddy!" Jackson shrieked, fully energized, running into the room.
Kris exasperatingly sighed "And now, he's up. Baby, go back to bed."
"No!" He whined, jumping up on the bed and leaping onto his father knees first as Jax put his hands out as fast as he could to catch him before he was screaming in agony.
"Jackson" she growled
The boy paid her no mind as he got all the attention he needed from his dad "Daddy. Ho fame." he said putting his hand to his mouth
Jax sighed "I know buddy. What do you wanna eat?"
Grinning that same grin that his brothers and father give off he squeezed Jax's cheeks "Frittelle"
Jax glanced up at Kris "Pancakes" she mouthed
He nodded and chuckled "Alright little man, let's go." he said putting his feet on the floor and carrying the boy out of the room.
Kris sighed and laid back down "I'm super excited about the baby. This is great Kris, I love you so much." she mumbled to herself and rolled her eyes. She looked at the clock and it was already five-fifteen. Kris got up and grabbed a towel, making her way into the bathroom to shower. As she was curling her hair, she wondered how she was gonna tell Jess- she promised she'd wait for her, but after seeing her friend yesterday, there was no doubt in her mind as to what her results would be. When she walked into the kitchen after six, Jax was sitting on the couch with Slash, Jackson, JT and Abel watching TV. The four of them had their legs stretched out and heads leaned back. She chuckled and shook her head as she went for the coffee pot. "Abel" she smiled, sitting down next to him "Go get dressed, baby"
He groaned "I wanna go to the garage today"
"We'll go after school. Promise."
"Can you bring me to school and pick me up?" he asked, looking up at Jax
"I'm not allowed to bring you anymore?" Kris playfully pouted "I'm not cool enough, I get it."
"I wanna go on the bike" he pleaded
Jax proudly smiled "No problem dude. Go get dressed." Abel ran off down the hallway and Kris scooted over. Jax put his arm around her shoulder and kissed the side of her head "You good?"
She nodded and smiled "I'm good. When we gonna tell your mom?"
Jax chuckled "She's gonna know the second she looks at you. We won't even need to say anything. And…." he said stretching his neck "I believe we all just won money."
"You and your many talents Teller. Closing the deal each time. We still don't know about Jess."
"You mean the widow?"
Kris snorted "You think Ope's dead?"
"Think?"
"Oh c'mon. I bet it's a boy too. One angry Winston, beating the shit out of her from the inside out."
"Still, we won money. And I'm collectin'"
"So then I need to call your mother now, don't I?"
Jax shrugged and smiled "Gotta keep the peace, baby."
She rolled her eyes and chuckled, leaning for her phone on the coffee table. She put the phone to her ear and listened to the ringing. "Hey mama. No of course it's all okay. I'm sitting here with the boys, but…. Guess what?" Jax could hear the muffled screaming on the other end of the phone "Yes. I know, I know, I love you more. No, I gotta go to work, but I'll be by later on. Byeee" she chuckled, putting her phone on the armrest "She's really disappointed"
Jax laughed and shook his head "I heard."
"She's on her way over to get the boys to bring 'em to the garage." Abel came running down the hallway with his backpack "You want Daddy to help with your hair?" He tossed his backpack down and nodded "You're being summoned" she smiled over at him "I'm not cool enough apparently"
Jax chuckled and stood up "What can I say?"
"You're stealing my boys away from me and you haven't even been home for three weeks. No fair." she pouted, pulling JT onto her lap
Gemma pulled up and raced into the house "Mama!" Jackson shouted, leaping off from the couch and running over to her.
Gemma picked him up and kissed his cheek "We're gonna go to work with Daddy. Go tell him to get you dressed. You too" She said pointing to JT. They both took off down the hallway and Gemma walked over to the couch, sitting next to Kristina. She wrapped her arms around her shoulders and kissed her cheek "When's the doctor appointment?"
Kris chuckled "Gem, I found out literally an hour ago. I gotta call and make an appointment. Don't worry, you'll be the first to know, grandma."
"I better be. Where's your sidekick?"
"Burying Ope in the woods somewhere?"
Gemma snorted "From what I heard, she was on a warpath yesterday."
"Aw man, everyone's gotta chill. She just wasn't feeling well."
"It's a boy" Gemma said knowingly "Definitely a boy."
"LEAVE IT ALONE!" Jess shouted walking out of the front door. She stormed into Kris' house with her school bags "Are you ready?"
Kris and Gemma looked up at her with expressionless faces "Is everything… okay?" Kris asked
"I just need to get to work. Please?"
Kris nodded and stood up, grabbing her bags from the floor "Alright. Jax! You gonna drop of Abel?" JT ran down the hallway in his underwear wrapping his arms around his mom's leg.
"Shit! JT!" He shouted running after him with jeans. He scooped up the boy "Yeah I got it" he said kissing her cheek
"Make sure you bring a change of clothes. He isn't completely potty trained yet"
"Yeah yeah" He smiled walking back down the hallway
Kris looked back at Gemma and shook her head "I got it" Gemma chuckled "Go"
"Ope is taking Kenny?" Kris asked heading out the door.
Jess rolled her eyes and shrugged "Guess so. Can we just go get coffee please? I need a minute to clear my head" she said slamming the door shut and grumbling as she settled her bags onto the car floor.
"Please do me a favor" Kris begged "Please"
"What's that?" Jess asked as she rolled down the window and lit a cigarette.
"Tell me what's goin' on" she said, rolling down her own window and taking a cigarette from Jess.
"I don't know, he told me just now that he wants me to go to the doctor after work. I told him I'd go when I wanted to go."
"I'll go with you"
Jess turned her head and smiled at her "When'd you find out?"
She glanced at the clock "About ninety minutes ago. At least I got a few more weeks before I need to give these up completely. Ain't ready for that yet. And you… Gem said it's a boy."
"You mean a stubborn asshole like his father?"
"Jess… you're on a roll" she chuckled "You're absolutely on a fucking roll right now."
Jess snorted and nodded "I broke the coffee mug" she laughed "He tried to make me coffee… way too much sugar. I threw it in the sink"
Kris laughed loudly and slammed her hand against the steering wheel "Jesus Christ, Jessica. That's what you were yelling about?"
"No" she smiled "He told me to wait until Jimmy got here to follow us to work."
"Girl…" she drawled, pulling into the parking lot to get her friend coffee before she too ended up experiencing her wrath "You finish your cigarette. I'll go grab you coffee. Shit." When Kris returned, Jess had her feet up on the dashboard and had her face in her hands, "Jesus Christ" she sighed, putting the coffees in the cup holders. She wrapped her arms around her "Jess, sweetie… you sure you can go to work?"
Jess nodded and wiped under her eyes "God I'm so fucked up right now" she sniffled
"I can see that" Kris chuckled "You're really fucked up. Why you crying?"
"I texted him to say I was sorry." she said picking up her phone and handing it to her friend.
Kris looked at the message "I don't understand?" she asked seeing Opie's reply "He said it's okay, I love you. What's wrong with that?"
"He said it was okay!" she sobbed
She laughed loudly and shook her head "I'm sorry for laughing. Holy shit you're fucked up right now. Take a few deep breaths."
"He's gonna kill me."
"He's not gonna kill you. You just need to relax."
"I'm gonna kill myself" Opie groaned sitting on the bench outside of the clubhouse. "I'm gonna fucking kill myself."
Jax chuckled and patted his shoulder "You'll be alright brotha."
"Jackie" Chibs called out, walking over towards them "We got a problem. Luann called, apparently theres some interesting fellas hanging around."
"Mexican?" Opie asked. Chibs nodded and put his phone in his pocket.
Jax stood up and put his sunglasses over his eyes "Alright, we'll head over. Hap's got one of his guys from Tacoma headed down this afternoon, so let's make it quick."
Arriving at the club, they noticed three men from the Byz Lats Cartel sitting at the bar talking to Ima and a new girl that they hadn't met yet. "Gentlemen" Jax drawled, coming up behind them with Opie, Chibs and Happy. "Can we help you?"
"Just enjoying the view" one of the men said without making eye contact
Opie put his hand on one of the men's shoulders "I think it's time you leave"
One quickly drew his gun and pointed it at Opie's head before he could reach for his own. Jax, Chibs and Happy drew their guns "Get out of here!" he yelled at the girls
"They stay" the angry gunman growled. Opie threw his right elbow back and made contact with the man's jaw, giving him enough time to remove his own gun from it's holster, putting him in control. Grabbing the men by their collars, Jax, Happy and Opie dragged the three outside, releasing them with a push towards their car.
"What do you want here?" Jax asked
"You. Jax Teller, hear you're responsible for putting the hit out on Lorenzo on the inside. He was my cousin."
"I don't know what you're talkin' about. But our girls have nothing to do with that shit."
Nero pulled up and rolled down his window "What's goin' on? Torres?"
Chibs, Jax, Happy and Opie looked between the two "What you doin' here, 'mano?" Torres asked
"Was just gonna ask you that" Nero replied
"Sons are responsible for Lorenzo"
Nero chuckled softly "You don't know that. They're with me, you got a problem with them, you bring it to me."
Torres sighed and shifted his weight from side to side "This ain't over."
"That's fine. But nothins goin' down today. Now you all gotta take the word back that the Sons aren't responsible." Nero gave Torres a look that indicated the conversation was over and he was to be on his way. They got into the car and took off, the four men were looking at Nero and waited for him to speak. "You hear from 'em again, you let me know."
Jax raised an eyebrow "I think we gotta talk."
"Old business, old crew. Still got respect though, and you know I'm on your side. You got nothin' to worry about."
"Hope so" Jax said quietly as his cell phone started to ring. He reached into his pocket and turned around to answer "Yeah? Nah, out right now, what's wrong? You can't wait till you get out in two hours?" he sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose "Where are they?… Alright, give me twenty minutes." he hung up his phone and turned back to the men. "She forgot her glasses" he chuckled "And can't go another two hours without em."
Nero chuckled and nodded "Go make the old lady happy, Pres. Spoke to Gem before, congratulations."
"Thanks" he smiled "Gonna be a rough nine months. And now I'm being summoned to go fetch her glasses. You comin?" he asked Opie
Opie sighed "Yeah, I guess."
"What time is Koz coming in?"
"Around two. Got a little while." Happy said
"Alright, let's go. Before I'm shot."
After getting her glasses from the house, Jax and Opie arrived at the school around a quarter to one, handing off their guns and Jax's knife to Tig and Jimmy in the parking lot before heading into the school. Jess's kids were at gym and she was sitting in Kris' room with her head on the desk while her friends were loudly laughing and playing music. "Ah, you're the best" she smiled looking up at Jax as he walked into the room, shaking Chris' hand "You couldn't leave the kutte on the bike, Prez?"
Opie pulled up a chair next to Kris' desk and Jax chuckled pointing to Jess "Jess, you okay?" Jax asked
"What time is it?" she mumbled, with her face against the desk
"Ten to one." Kris replied "Drink your coffee. You'll be fine."
"I gotta get the kids in twenty minutes" she whined, picking her head up and putting it on Opie's shoulder "I'm so tired"
He shook his head and sighed "I know, babe."
"You guys done for today?"
Jax sat on top of one of the students desks "We got a new guy coming in from Tacoma. So we got a vote and then gonna welcome him in."
"Wonderful" Kris chuckled "I guess it's you and me tonight, Jess."
"Gem is gonna be there. You guys should just come after here. We'll leave early."
Jess sighed and sipped on her coffee "Just what I wanna see, a parade of strippers."
"Maybe you can give one of 'em a black eye and feel better" Kris suggested
"I'll go, but if that slut is there, I'm gonna get arrested." She warned, glaring at Opie
"I doubt she'll be there" he sighed "Just get through the next hour and you can catch a nap when you get there."
She leaned over and looked at the clock "You guys stayin till we leave?"
Opie looked up at Jax and nodded "Yeah, we'll hang around."
Kris snorted and shook her head "You're ready for thirty screaming ten year olds?"
"Aw, how bad could it be?" Jax asked "I'll wait."
The three of them raised their eyebrows "I'll go get 'em. Be right back" Chris said heading out of the room
"You wanna meet by crazy bunch?" Jess sighed at Opie "C'mon" Opie looked back at Jax and Kris with a subtle smile knowing he should've brought earplugs. "Ash had to leave early. So it's just me. You can go in, I'll be right back." Opie walked into the room and sat down, putting his feet up on the desk and looking around the room. She had pictures hanging of the kids and him along the wall next to her desk- and most certainly bold to have pictures of them two with his kutte on. He could hear shouting and hollering as Chris walked past the room with his class and other kids filed into the room staring at him, unsure as to who he was. He quickly put his feet on the floor and remained seated "You're Ms. Winston's husband?" a boy asked standing in front of the desk. Opie smiled and nodded extending his hand to the kid "This is Jeremy" Jess said putting her hands on the boys shoulders and raising her eyebrows. "Go sit. Homework notebook." Opie chuckled and shook his head as she grabbed a stack of papers from her desk "Let's go! Homework notebooks! I wanna see 'em!" she called out. She tossed a stack in front of Opie "Let's go VP. I'm putting you to work. Everyone gets one each."
"I don't get to sit back and watch?" he asked
She chuckled and shook her head "Not a chance." she said turning her back to him and handing out the papers "Jeremy! Get in your seat!" she growled seeing the boy antagonizing another by poking him and running away "Jeremy!"
"Ms. Winston!" the other boy Michael whined "Tell him to STOP!"
"Jeremy!" she shouted, tossing the papers down and walking over to him "Do we need to step outside?"
The boy rolled his eyes "No"
"Good. Then get in your seat" she demanded, following him back to his desk. She picked up the stack again and Opie watched her as he handed out the papers.
"Jess" He said quietly looking back at the boy who got up again to start something.
"STOP!" Michael yelled, shoving him back. Jeremy laughed and leaned forward shoving Michael harder pushing him against the desk and with the blink of an eye they were both on the floor.
"Britney go get Mr. Sanchez!" She shouted, running over to the two and shook her head at Opie who had to use every ounce of self control not to intervene while he watched her grab the back of Jeremy's shirt as he fought her mercilessly to stay on top of the boy. Chris ran in and grabbed Michael's shirt collar and Jeremy's from Jess, pulling both out of the room.
"Ms. Winston are you okay?" Britney asked helping her pick up the stack of papers on the floor that fell during the tussle.
Jess stood up and straightened out her shirt "I'm okay, sweetie. Hand out the papers please? I'll be right back." Opie looked over at her as he sat back down at the desk talking to a group of her students, she nodded and half-smiled letting him know she was fine. She walked over to the doorway where Chris was standing with the two. Michael walked back in and went to his desk quietly and the classroom went silent as they heard their teacher raise her voice- even they found it just as entertaining as Opie "Let me tell you something little boy! You pull that garbage in my classroom again, you can get used to where you're sitting because you're going to be in third grade again next year! You hear me?! You get in that room, you sit that butt in that seat and if you get up without permission, you won't have a chair to sit in! Am I clear?!" Jeremy walked back in with tears in his eyes and a scowl on his face as he stomped over to his desk. "Attitude gone as well! NOW!" she seethed. The students that were talking to Opie looked at him and tried not to laugh.
"Does she yell like that at you too?" a boy chuckled
Opie laughed and rubbed his hand over his beard "Every day"
"I do not" Jess sassed "You guys causing trouble?"
"He said you're mean to him" Britney laughed
"I am not mean. I thought you said I was the nicest teacher you had."
"But-"
"No buts. You gotta pack up, let's go." Jess reached around the desk and grabbed her large tote bag, tossing folders and papers inside. "So how early are you actually leaving tonight?" she asked
Opie looked up at her and smiled "That's your question?"
"I'm tired. And as much as I know that I need to be there to be all smiles to welcome in the new guy, I need my bed." She glanced over at the clock and smiled "I'm gonna bring 'em out. I'll be back in ten minutes. Alright lets go! Let's go! Move it!" she shouted as the kids all grabbed their bags and jackets, running out of the room.
Opie shook his head and Jax walked in with Abel. "I'm pretty sure she'd have the Cartel running back over the border." Opie laughed
"You break it up?" Jax asked
"She didn't want me to. Wasn't easy, man. Kid was fighting her." Jess walked back in with Kenny and sighed, grabbing her bag from the desk and continuing to pack it up "You sure you're okay?"
"I'm fine. Fucking kid. That happens almost every day."
"I don't want you doing that anymore, Jess. He was fighting you."
"Ope, I don't have a choice. If I don't attempt to break it up, I can get in trouble."
"And I'm tellin' you, no more."
She narrowed her eyes and scoffed "You never answered my question. What time we leavin'?"
"Depends babe. You let me know when you wanna leave."
"I wanna go home now."
Jax chuckled and shook his head looking at Opie "We gotta vote him in first and stay a little while."
"Alright" she sighed, grabbing her heavy bag and slinging it over her shoulder "Ugh. I need a drink, let's go"
Opie stood up and pulled the bag off her shoulder "Shit, what's in here?"
"My sanity" she chuckled heading out of the classroom.
