RECAP: "Why did you clean in there?" Clay asked, voice softening

"The doors were open slightly and it needed to be cleaned." She all but whispered

Bobby only smiled at the girl. She was merely trying to find her place with the club. If cleaning was what she had done for her husband and father then perhaps this is what she felt comfortable doing for them too.

"She's been cleaning the entire clubhouse for weeks." The elder prospect finally piped up

"What?!" Tig exclaimed

"Yeah. We help her move all the furniture out of the clubhouse. She'll sweep the entire room, then mop it. We'll put the furniture back. She'll clean all the chairs and tables. She'll wipe the bar down, use some spray on all door handles. She cleans the kitchen too. Sweeps & mops the hallway. Every now and then she'll wipe down the walls as high as she can get to." He nervously replied

"Well. Thank you for keeping the clubhouse so clean." Clay chuckled

She just looked around at all the guys staring at her. Chibs noticed she still wasn't really making eye contact with anyone. Tig told her to put away her supplies and head to their room. She barely nodded before bolting from the large group. Clay told everyone to have a seat in the clubhouse while he called Gemma. She was in the Teller-Morrow office so it didn't take her long to arrive. Clay explained about Lilia cleaning the clubhouse, and Church, and wanted to know what they should.

Gemma thought they should give the girl a little money for all the work cleaning she was doing. Clay didn't agree with his wife. After all, they were housing and feeding her for free. He felt that was payment enough. Jax agreed with his mother. He felt that she should be compensated for working at the clubhouse. Gemma was quick to add that she never did anything to harm the club and that cleaning was just her way to trying to find her role with them. Clay didn't see any reason to pay the girl just for cleaning.

Bobby told him that she cleaned the kitchen. She cleaned the clubhouse. She cleaned Tig's room. She cleaned Tig's bathroom. If that didn't deserve to be compensated for then the Elvis impersonator didn't know what did. Clay retorted that no one had asked her to clean the clubhouse. Tig's room was now her room so why did she deserve to be compensated? Gemma gave her husband a look that said she wasn't going to back down from her argument.

Clay finally relented and said they could pay her a little money for cleaning the clubhouse. It made Tig happy to hear it. Gemma thought it would be good for her to earn her own living. It might not be much just yet but it would go a long way in helping her recover from everything she had been subjected to her whole life. Gemma told the prospects to make sure she always had enough cleaning supplies. Clay told the prospects to help her anytime she needed it. Everyone watched as he got up from his seat and headed out to his bike.

Later that night, Tig headed off to his room for the night. He still wasn't used to the idea of someone sleeping in his room permanently. He shut the door and looked over to his new bed. She was still fast asleep. He was glad Gemma bought plain bedding since he was afraid she'd get something girly for Lilia. As much as he hated to admit it, his room smelled and looked better after the girl's cleaning.

He stripped down and went to take a shower. Although he normally didn't care, he all of a sudden didn't want to go to bed on a new bed with new sheets with her for the first time and be all dirty. Once he was done showering, he slipped into an old pair of pajama bottoms and climbed over her and into their shared bed. He turned the light off on the way through his room. It took him a few minutes of moving around to find a comfortable spot on his back but he finally got comfortable enough to drift to sleep.

He awoke sometime later to the feeling of something warm close to his side. Not remembering he was now sharing his bed, he reached for his gun in preparation for whatever might come. Once his eyes adjusted to the dark, he looked around and discovered Lilia had scooted over to him in the middle of the night. Seeing that it was just the young woman, he let his gun go and shut his eyes. He drifted back to sleep in no time.

One early-ish morning a week or so later, Bobby found himself standing in the doorway to the kitchen watching Lilia as she looked around. He wondered what was going through her head as she just looked around at the tiny kitchen. 5 minutes had passed and she was just standing there. He began to wonder if she was sleep-walking!

"What's up, darlin'?" Bobby finally asked, making her jump

She didn't hear him walk up so when he spoke, he startled her. She turned around and gave the big man a sheepish smile.

"It needs updating." She very quietly replied

"What do you mean?" He asked, curious as to what she was going to say

"Appliances. Counter space, cabinet space." She said

"Do you cook much?" He questioned as he moved into the kitchen

He watched as she nodded her head yes.

"Do much baking?" He inquired

Once more she just nodded her head yes.

"Cool. I'm the resident baker. I find that it's good for the soul. And of course all the guys love it when I bring in fresh baked goodies." Bobby chuckled

She smiled slightly at the statement.

He left the girl alone in the kitchen before finding himself a seat at one of the empty tables. A few thousand dollars and they could update the kitchen. Give her a bigger space to work in, updated appliances. Clay and Jax had been the only ones to actually enjoy her cooking but that didn't mean the rest of them couldn't benefit from it too. The financial officer wanted to bring it up with the VP first. It would also be beneficial to the club when they were on lock down. Get a big deep freeze too.

Jax finally made his way into the clubhouse and found a seat with Bobby. The two men exchanged friendly words as Bobby sipped a cup of coffee. A few minutes later, with a low voice, Bobby said he wanted to run something past the VP.

"What's up?" Jax questioned curiously

"This morning I found Lilia standing in the kitchen." Bobby stated

"And?" Jax asked, confused

"She was just looking around. I got her talking a little bit and she said the kitchen needed updating with more counter and cabinet spaces, new appliances, etc." Bobby stated

"Uh, ok." Jax stated not entirely sure where this was going

"It might take a few thousand dollars but I think we should expand the kitchen. Give the girl more counter and cabinet space. Get updated appliances and at least one huge deep freeze. She cooks and bakes, Jax. Think about it." Bobby stated

"We could have our own in-house chef!" Jax smiled, eyes twinkling

"It would be good when we were on lock-down too. All that girl has ever known was cooking and cleaning. It's what she's most comfortable with. At least right now. Gem said that cleaning was her way of trying to find her niche within the club. Cooking might make it easier for her." Bobby explained

"I'm all for it." Jax said, "How do we pay for it? You know Clay won't want to spend club money on this little side project."

"Why don't we take up a collection from all the guys? It's going to benefit everyone." Bobby offered

"Sounds like a great idea! I'll have Juice get an assessment on the work and appliances. How big should we expand the kitchen to?" Jax stated as Tig and Chibs entered the clubhouse

"Wha are we talkin' bout?" Chibs questioned as he sat down

Jax got the pair caught up on their plans. Tig was surprised she had talked to Bobby at all. To hear that she thought the kitchen could be updated shocked both Tig and Chibs. The Scotsman thought updating the kitchen for her would be an excellent idea. It would give her something else to occupy her time, give her something else to do for and at the club. Jax said he would ask for their money when they had a solid estimate of the work and appliances.

Tig watched as the girl walked out of the kitchen with three steaming cups of coffee. She placed one in front of Jax, Chibs, and finally Tig. She was subservient to Tig and everyone knew it. Slowly everyone began to stir for the day so she headed back to the room she was sharing with Tig. Bobby thought it would be a nice surprise for the young girl. Once Juice was up and awake, Jax pulled him aside and asked him to look into the things he wanted to know about for him. Juice replied that he'd have all the information the VP wanted by the end of the day.

Later on that day while everyone was either out on club business or working in the garage, Lilia took the opportunity to get out her cleaning supplies. She was in the middle of sweeping the clubhouse when Happy entered. He had never really believed she cleaned as well as the Prospects had let on she did. Since there were no seats due to them all being outside, he hopped up on the bar and just watched her work. It made her nervous, since she was still a bit frightened of him, that he was just hanging around watching her work.

She kept her head down and focused on what she was doing. Lilia mopped the entire clubhouse including the kitchen, hallway to the dorms, and the room she was sharing with the SAA. While the floors were drying, she took her little bucket filled it ΒΌ the way full with hot water and 2 capfuls of Fabuloso. Happy watched intently as she took her rag and began feverishly wiping down all the chairs and tables. Once the tables and chairs were cleaned, she began wiping down all the leather couches. As everything was drying, she began cleaning the windows.

Happy watched as emptied her little bucket and refilled it. She carefully walked into the kitchen where she began scrubbing everything down in there as well. She washed out the coffee pot and cleaned the inside of the refrigerator. With a careful glance at Happy, she took her bucket, rags and Old English and made her way into the Church room. Although she wanted to do a good job, she also wanted to get back to her room and away from the creepy man watching her like a hawk.

As much as he hated to admit it, she did an excellent job cleaning the clubhouse. She didn't cut corners, didn't neglect anything. The clubhouse had never looked cleaner than when she started cleaning it. He watched as she began putting all the tables and chairs back. The prospects moved the couches and loveseats back for her while she cleaned up all her supplies.
