A/N: Hey there readers! I'm really excited about this story. It's flowing from my mind and onto the page with a lot of ease. I've had this chapter written down for a few days, but it was finding the time to sit down and type it up that got me. I would like to take a second to thank the lovely people who have reviewed my story so far! I am so thankful that you've reviewed, and you have made me want to keep going. I'm glad you're enjoying it, and I hope you continue to. Oh and I apologize ahead of time, I can't write accents to save my life, so if Chibs's accent stinks… yeah. Here's chapter three…
Like Father, Like Daughter
Chapter Three: "Our landlord is gonna love us!"
The alarm noise that woke Alex up was not the actual sound of her alarm clock, but the lovely popping sounds of the guys' Harleys. She opened her eyes with a smile on her face. No matter how many times she heard that noise – and being employed at the clubhouse, it was quite frequent – she would never get tired of the sound. She heard her cell phone go off, and rolled over to her right to get it off of her bed side table.
When she picked it up, it was a text message from Jax saying that they were outside waiting to come up and in. She had forgotten to tell them which apartment Kimber and she lived in. As she stood up to throw some sweat pants on, she remembered that Kimber had brought Chibs over a few times when he had decided to stay at their clubhouse. Alex fixed her top so she wasn't flailing all over the place, walked down the hallway banging on Kimber's door as she rolled past, and walked down the stairs to meet the guys out front. "Oh boy," she thought to herself, "One or two bikes is fine, but the whole caravan. Our landlord is just gonna love us." She chuckled as she finished the last few stairs before the door.
Walking out she saw Chibs, Jax, Clay, and Bobby, Happy, Opie, her father, and Juice. She walked up to them and waved slightly because she was quite fully awake yet. Tig grabbed her shoulders and pulled her into a –surprisingly gentle – hug. She subconsciously snuggled into his shoulder, and the guys all saw him smile softly – a genuine, true smile because he really did love Alexandra with all his heart.
Alex turned toward Chibs, but stayed in her father's embrace and smirked. "Filip, I know you know which apartment is mine and Kimber's. Why didn't you just bring the guys up?" She let go of her father and turned to look directly at Chibs.
"I donna know whatcher talkin' about." He said dismissively. Alex's smirk turned into a grin. She knew, he knew what she was talking about. Things between Kimber and Chibs were still kind of a secret. Alex wasn't stupid, and Kimber basically told her everything. He just didn't want the fellas to know yet.
She nodded while patting Jax on the arm, "Alright then boys, let's go on up." They followed Alex up the stairs and to the fourth door on the right. She knocked a special knock – meant for her and Kimber to know it was one of them – and waltzed in. Kimber was sitting, dressed comfortably, at the little kitchen table. Alex walked in and picked up her cigarettes from the counter. She felt eyes on her, and she rolled hers.
"Well don't everyone talk at once. You might overload me. Make yourselves at home boys. I have to go get dressed for the drive." Walking out of the kitchen, she lit up a cigarette on her way to her room.

Once everyone heard Alex's door close, all the men seemed to find their place in the kitchen. Jax was sitting on the counter where Alex had picked up her cigarettes, Chibs was leaning on the refrigerator – which was conveniently behind Kimber, Tig was sitting at one of the spots at the table, Happy, Opie, Clay, and Bobby were standing against the door way, and Juice was sitting next to Kimber. She was crunching on some cereal when she felt eyes on her. They weren't Chibs's, no, his were familiar. So she looked to her right and it was Juice. She could tell he wanted to talk to her, but he seemed hesitant.
"What?" She asked. Juice just shook his head and looked away. Kimber watched the direction he looked, and it was down the hall toward Alex's room. She had an inkling about what he wanted to talk to her about, but she figured she would let it go for the time being. Kimber looked to Clay, "So you're sure you're okay with me comin' down?"
Clay nodded, "I wouldn't want Alex to be alone anyway, and she trusts you. A lot. I've heard very good things about you after Alex and Gemma's phone calls." Kimber smiled. She was glad one of the toughest old ladies to roam the earth liked her. It was basically, any friend of Alex, is a friend of mine.
Chibs piped up, "So whenever the lil' lady comes down, you're more than welcome ta follow." As Kimber turned to look at him, she saw him cock his eyebrows at her once. She blushed discreetly and threw a chunk of cereal at him. It missed completely because she didn't was to milk or anything on his cut. He still swatted at it out of reflex. Alex walked into the kitchen with her things, catching the end of Kimber and Chibs's flirting.
"Aw, well aren't you two cute." She made a kissy face at them and let her stuff drop.
As Kimber walked by to go get her bags she mumbled, "I hate you right now." Alex saw the blush and laughed as Kimber took a swing at her as she walked down the hallway.

Around 9:30 they left and they were now just arriving outside of Charming's city limits at 1:00 in the afternoon. Alex was brimming with excitement. She was going to be able to see everyone that she hadn't seen in quite some time. Gemma was one of them, then Piney. She missed the clubhouse in Charming. She had rather fond memories in there. Even though most of them were with the guys, she was okay with that. She wouldn't have it any other way. Her mother was still kicking herself for letting her roam in the clubhouse when she was that young.
As everyone was pulling in to the TM parking lot, Alex and Kimber could see people coming out of the wood work. A daughter to one of the Sons was coming back, and they were ready to have an all out party for her. Kimber watched where Chibs parked his bike, and as soon as Alex parked the car, she hopped out and went to talk to him. They needed to either get the relationship news out of the way, or something. It was getting hard to hide from people, especially since Alex said she had mentioned something that morning by accident.
Alex on the other hand, jumped out of the car and ran straight over to Gemma. Gemma gripped her up in an enormous hug, and didn't let go for quite a few minutes.
"Baby girl, you have no idea how much I missed you!" She hugged Alex again, and Alex nodded into her shoulder. When her mother was working down the road, and Alyssa couldn't babysit, Gemma and her office was where you could find Alex. Alex was attached to Gemma's hip when her mother wasn't around. That or she was in the garage annoying Piney, or Bobby.
"I missed you too Auntie." Gemma stood back and held Alex at arm's length. There really was no denying that Alex was Tig's daughter. With her almost midnight black, long curly locks, her midnight blue eyes, the bat shit crazy look in her eyes that was hidden behind a wall of innocence. Oh yeah, she was Tig's daughter.
"Baby, you are so beautiful. I'm glad you're the more feminine version of your father and not the other way around." They both laughed and Alex whistled for Kimber because she could visibly see her. Kimber's head popped up from the picnic table, and next to Chibs. Alex smiled and waved her over.
Once she got there she introduced Kimber to Gemma, "Gemma, this woman right here kept me sane throughout all those years. This is the girl I would always tell you about. This is Kimber. Kimber, this is my Aunt Gemma. My second mom when mine is away." Kimber went to shake Gemma's hand, but Gemma pulled her into a hug, and was basically thanking her for keeping Alex out of trouble for all those years.
Everyone came to say their hellos to Kimber and Alex, and once that was done the party was in full swing. Kimber looked at Alex as she saw Chibs leave to his dorm room. "I'm going to disappear until tomorrow morning. I hope you don't mind."
Alex smiled and shook her head, "Go. Have fun. Don't do anything I wouldn't do." Then Kimber was off for the rest of the night. Alex just sat there, enjoying the family feeling she always got at a party like this. This time it was for her, and it made her feel amazing. After a while she got bored though. When Alex gets bored, that can be a bad thing depending on how bored she actually is.
She made her way into the clubhouse, to find Juice sitting by himself at a couple of desks pushed into a corner. She supposed it was his 'office' area. She smiled and walked up to him.
"So whatcha lookin' up?" She leaned over the screen so Juice could see her face, and he smiled slightly up at her in a nervous fashion.
"Oh nothing really. Just some things Clay was wondering about. Nothing about you, or your friend though." Alex nodded and laughed while lighting up a cigarette. She sat down next to him, not really caring if he minded and he went back to typing away. There was a silence between them for a while, but oddly enough – given that the boy was so awkward – it was comfortable.
Yeah, Alex was glad to be home. This was going to be fun.
