It's been two weeks since I made the move to Charming and have yet to run into the infamous Sons of Anarchy club. The streets of Charming are quiet with a few people going in and out of shops. I wave towards some locals that I have familiarized myself with while being here and park in front of my diner. My new employee/ friend stands out front with two kids holding each hand. Jumping out of my jeep I grab my things before calling out to her.
"Hey Donna! Who do we have here?"
"Hey Gia. I'm so sorry I couldn't get a sitter today and-" I wave my hand to stop her.
"Seriously Donna its alright! Were just tidying up and taking inventory so its no problem!" I tell her with a smile on my face. She breathes a breath of relief before introducing the kids.
"Thanks again Gia! and this little guy here is Kenny and this is princess Ellie!" She lifts both hands of the kids. Crouching down to the height of both of the I stick my hand out for them to shake. They each give me a little shake before hiding behind their mothers legs. Both Donna and I giggle at the two of them. Tiny little grumbles come from their bellies which makes Donnas face turn pink in embarrassment.
"Do you guys like chocolate chip pancakes?" I ask both kids who nod their heads in excitement.
"With extra chips and whip cream?" Kenny asks with wide eyes. I nod my head and laugh as both kids shriek and jump yelling Yesss!
"You don't have to-" the look I send her stops her from saying anymore.
Donna settles the kids on a table as I serve up pancakes on each plate for the four of us. We give each kid a plate and they give us a quick thanks before digging in. We sit on the table beside them and fall into a comfortable conversation in which Donna tells me more about her family and husband. I learn that Donnas Husband Harry or Opie as they call him was a part of the Sons but after being set up and serving time for five years he promised Donna a clean break from the club and has tried to earn clean legal money.
"So it's been tough with the bills piling up but not having to worry if or when he'll be home is worth it. I know he misses the club but-"
"Aunt Gemma!" Both kids has caught our attention with their yelling and hands waving crazy. Donna stills for a second before looking behind me and muttering shit!, under her breath.
Turning my attentions in their direction I see an older woman with black hair and gold highlights wearing jeans, an open jacket, and leather boots walking towards my diner. the people on the streets quickly move out of her way and as she gets closer I see that her shirt has the same logo on it as the bikers who passed me two weeks ago. Turning to Donna I ask who is that woman.
"That Gia is the Queen of SAMCRO Gemma Teller Morrow. Her husbands the President and her sons the V.P."
As Gemma comes closer to the shop I ask Donna if I should let her in and she tells me
"Mmmhmm. It's either let her in or she breaks the glass and let's herself in!" I go to unlock the door but Donna stops me and does it herself. Both kids run and greet Gemma with a hug and kiss before she turns to me and says
"Well who's this little chica?"
Well Shit. Hello to you to!
