A/N: Thank you all for the great reviews. I know the story is going pretty slow right now, but it'll pick up soon. I just wanted to get some kind of back story in before all the good stuff started happening. I will try to get one or two new chapters up a week, but it's summer time so bear with me :) This is going to be a pretty long story, I have some pretty big plans a head.

Charlie drove down the road in her bright red Dodge Challenger; she had been on the road for five days and her ass was numb. She had graduated the month before and the whole family came out, her dad, her brother, Tig, Juice, Chibs, Gemma, Clay, Bobby, even some of the new prospects had come to see her graduate; Everyone but Jax. Her brother had told her throughout the four years of her schooling that Jax had been through a lot. Apparently he had hooked up with this crow eater named Wendy, got married and then they had a kid. When Opie had told her that Jax had a son, a little pain struck her in the stomach, jealousy? Envy? She wasn't sure. She had always wanted to be Jax's old lady, ever since they were little kids. And the fact that he was with a woman who was just like every other crow eater made her sick to her stomach.

Jax sat at on the picnic table at the club house, a smoke in one hand a beer in the other. He was trying to get his thoughts under control. Earlier that day Opie had broken the news to him about Charlie coming back, and Jax's heart jumped into his throat. So much had changed since the last time that he had seen her. He knew that she wasn't an eighteen year old girl anymore; she was a twenty-two year old woman. He knew that not going to her graduation was a dick move, but luckily he could use Abel as an excuse as why not to go. The moment that Charlie had left for Virginia he knew that he was in love with her, and he was a pussy for not telling her. He constantly wondered what would have changed and how their lives might be right now if he had told her. "Fuck." He ground out as he tossed cigarette onto the ground.

Charlie could drive to the clubhouse with her eyes closed, and that's where she was going. She knew that was where everyone was going to be. Four years. Four years. She just kept repeating in her head. What did he look like? What did his son look like? Were he and Wendy still married? She had so many questions and not enough answers. She hadn't been able to ask her brother because she thought it would draw to much attention to it, since her and Jax weren't that close any more. A few seconds later she pulled into the lot of TM. Not a lot had changed in the four years she had been gone. Everyone's bikes were lined up as usual and she could see that Jax's bike was second, meaning that he was now VP, a fact that didn't surprise her one bit.

Juice leaned against the garage door and looked at the beauty of a car that just pulled into the lot and the fine ass woman that got out of it. "Yo boss!" he yelled into the garage letting them know that they had a potential client in their midst, yet from the looks of it there was not one thing wrong with that car, or the girl. Opie was the first one to walk out of the garage to see Juice gawking at his little sister, he smacked him on the back of the head and walked towards her "keep your eyes off my sister Juice." was all he said before Charlie was jumping up into his arms for a hug.

"OPE!" Charlie yelled as she ran towards her brother, her arms snaking around his neck and hugging her brother tight. Sure it had only been a few months since she had last seen her brother, but it felt like a century. Opie's strong grip held onto his sister, kissing her on the top of her head before putting her back on the ground "missed you small fry" Opie said but trailed off when he noticed his sister staring at something behind him. Charlie's eyes locked on Jax's the second he was out of the garage. He was in his usual attire, loose jeans and a white t-shirt. No cut though because he was covered in grease, obviously working.

Jax heard her voice and he stopped dead in his tracks. He dropped the tools he was working with and walked out of the garage. Their eyes burned into each other as they both walked slowly towards the other. They didn't notice the dozens of eyes staring at them, or the mumbles in the back ground. Once they got to each other, their faces were a breath a part. Jax took his fingers and ran them slowly over her cheek as Charlie's tongue slid over her bottom lip "Hi." She breathed, and that was all she got out before Jax's hands were twined in her hair and his lips crashing down onto hers. Reflexively her arms slid around his neck and pulled him closer to her, her body fully pressed against his as their kiss became more passionate.

"Well I'll be damned…" Gemma said as she watched the spectacle going on in front of her, which was about to get worse as a very angry Piney walked out of the club house "Charlotte Pricilla Winston get your ass over here now" Piney boomed in a voice that could be heard throughout the compound. Charlie pulled her lips away from Jax's and suddenly what just happened hit her. She put her fingers to her lips and turned around to see her father standing there with his oxygen take in hand and her brother with the same look on his face as their dad. "Fuck…" she mumbled to herself as she slowly pulled herself out of Jax's grip, knowing this was not going to be good.
