Kelley stood in the back of the room watching the Sons celebrate Abel's homecoming. She started to fade into the background when Chibs worked his way to her. "How are you doing love?"

"I'm okay." Kelley's answer was automatic, but it also wasn't true. Chibs just looked at her, raising his eyebrow. "I'm fine, or I will be. I promise."

"You are safe now. We won't let anyone hurt you." Chibs told her, Kelley nodded her head fighting back tears. "You are a hero to all of us." Kelley turned when the door opened, Tara walking in. She watched as the doctor zeroed in on Abel and Jax.

"I need to go."

"You aren't staying anywhere but here sweetheart. We take care of our own." Clay spoke up, his hand reaching out to Kelley. She smiled and took his hand; he pulled her into his arms lifting her off the ground. When Clay set her down, he kissed her lightly. "You get me; we take care of our own."

"Aye. I understand." Kelley smiled when she felt another pair of arms wrapping around her.

"Come on, I'll take you to Jax's room. You can stay there tonight; we will figure something else out tomorrow." Tig told her leading her down the hallway.

"Thank you, goodnight." Kelley kissed him lighting quick on the cheek. She closed the door, bonelessly sliding down the wall. She felt the shaking start, and she fought against the terror threatening to take over her body. She sat for several minutes before making her way to the bathroom. She stood under the spray of hot water, letting it soothe her aching muscles. The bathroom was filled with steam when she stepped out wrapping a towel around her body.

Kelley stepped into the room, stopping short when she saw Jax sitting on the bed, Abel fast asleep in his carrier on the floor. "Hey, you left so quick. I wanted to check on you."

"I'm fine, but thank you." Kelley told him, her hand resting on the towel, hoping he didn't see the shaking that was now returning.

"I don't believe you. You are trembling." Jax told her closing the distance between them his arms wrapped around her smaller body, tucking her into his chest. Kelley breathed in his scent, trying to calm herself. Jax felt her relax, and his body noticed that she was warm and almost naked. His lips brushed her bare shoulder, and he felt her shiver in reaction. Jax tightened his grip on her, tilting her face up to meet his.

When his lips touched hers, she wrapped her arms around his neck deepening the kiss. "Thank you for bringing my son home." Jax told her before kissing her again. When his hand joined hers on the towel she gently pushed him back.

"You have an Old Lady Jax."

"Not anymore." Jax told her, trying to pull her closer but Kelley held him off. "I drove her way. She's not my Old Lady. Please." It was the plaintive tone in Jax's tone that did her in. She stepped closer to him, lifting her face back to his. He quickly pulled the towel and it pooled at their feet. Kelley's hands pulled at his clothes itching to feel his skin.

When they tumbled to the bed, they were already slick with sweat. Jax pulled her on top of him, his hands guiding her hips as she rode him slowly. He could only take so much before he rolled pulling her beneath him, before entering her again. She bit her lip to keep from crying out. While he might have driven Tara away she was probably still in the main room. Jax emptied himself into her, his head falling to her shoulder his breathing just as heavy as hers. They laid in silence still joined when Abel woke up, his cries moving Jax. Standing up he pulled on his boxers, before going to his son. He lifted Abel up, cradling him to his chest. He sat on the bed as Kelley sat up pulling on Jax's discarded t-shirt.

Jax looked from Abel to Kelley a smile crossing his face. "Really thank you."

"You're welcome." Kelley told him, her hand reaching out to Abel. There was a knock at the door and Chibs entered without waiting.

"The boy's already took care of Jimmy."Kelley looked at the clock surprised that it had been done so soon, but it had been hours since she left the group. Jax winked at her.

"I'm a good distraction."

"That you are love." Kelley told him smiling at Chibs. "Now it seems I owe you all a boon."

"No darlin' you don't, just stay. Stay here and be with Jax." Chibs told her after seeing how happy Jax was. Kelley nodded before he closed the door again.

Jax put a now sleeping Abel back in his carrier, laying back down with Kelley. As she drifted to sleep she thought about how fast things had changed. Her life was full of broken ties, and tonight she was making new ties, hopefully never to be broken.

The end!
