It had been two weeks since Jax had told her he loved her; it was still hard for her to wrap her head around it. Jackson Teller loved her….
-flashback-
Charlie's eyes locked on his, trying to read them "You love me…" She said and gripped his shirt "Don't be joking with me Teller cause I will never talk to you ever again" She threatened, not being able to bear if this was his way of joking with her. Jax looked down at her, a smile on his face, and nodded. He had expected her to say it back but instead being the Winston that she was, she threatened him. "Yeah darlin, I have for a while, I guess I was just too much of a pussy to tell you." And there it was, he finally said it out loud, and there she was still just gawking at him. Did she love him back? Was he stupid for saying it so soon?
Charlie was trying to process what was happening. Did she finally get to have the man of her dreams? Was it really that easy? What would happen now? There were a million thoughts running through her head, but that little birdie on her shoulder was screaming at him TELL HIM YOU LOVE HIM BACK YOU FOOL! "I Love you too Jax, I always have."
-end flashback—
That night they had made everything official and told everyone. Opie was still skeptical about it, mostly because this was his little sister, and he knew Jax Teller's reputation with girls. Her father was happy for her, but just as skeptical. But here they were, in Jax's house, weeks later, in his dorm cuddling. It felt surreal. Charlie looked up at the man who had his arms wrapped around her. "You're being awfully quiet" she said.
Everything was so calm at the club that it was actually starting to worry everyone. Last night at church it was decided to do a run up to Tacoma to see how that brother charter was doing. "Just thinking about the run…" Jax said looking down at her. Things with the two of them were still fresh, all though Charlie had been sleeping at his house almost every night and taking care of Abel most of the day. He should have been surprised how quickly she had stepped into the mom roll, but then again he knew her inside and out, and knew that she wanted nothing more than to be a great mom. Charlie chewed on the inside of her lip. A run so soon after they just made it official, him being gone for a whole week, she wasn't sure she could handle that. "What happens on a run…" She muttered before he cut her off "Nothing is going to happen. I'm gonna stay away from the crow eaters and sweet-butts…" he smiled. He knew that if he even looked at a girl in a certain way that all of her 'uncles' would be all over him like a pig in shit.
A small smile spread on Charlie's lips, he wasn't going to do anything on the trip, but regardless she still didn't want him to go. She rolled onto her stomach and looked at him "I can't believe you're going to leave me here a whole week with your mother…" she said with a chuckle and nudged his side with her fist. Jax smirked and pulled her up to him, so that her mouth was level with his "Babe, if anyone can handle Gemma, it's you." He said before pressing his lips soundly to hers. Charlotte returned his kiss and pressed her body against his, and as if on cue there was a loud obnoxious knock at the door "VP, let's go, were leaving in five." They heard Tig yell on the other side of the door. Falling back to the bed Charlie let out a laugh and looked at him, and Jax was looking right back at her "Don't they know how hard it is to ride with a hard on?" Charlie laughed and kissed him again "I could help you with that, but they'd probably come knocking again in the middle of it and that'd be even worse" She giggled, finding this amusing. Charlie got up and slid on one of his Sons of Anarchy shirts and a pair of sofee shorts.
His eyes never left her body, watching her getting dressed was almost as sexy as watching her get undressed. "You won't think it's funny when I'm in the middle of making you cum and someone interrupts." He said as his eyes grazed her body once again. Charlie knew Jax well enough to know he was teasing her, but she was going to tease him right back, run or not. She leaned against the wall and sucked one of her fingers into her mouth, before running her hand over her toned body and into the hem of her shorts and panties "ah, but I don't have to ride tonight, so I can always take care of myself…" she replied sexily. Jax hopped off the bed and walked over to her "fuck the run"
He gripped her hair in his hands and kissed her hard, his hips pressing against hers. He let go of her hair with one hand and slid it up her leg, wrapping it around his waist so that he could lift her up. Once her legs were wrapped around him, he pressed hard against her. He was only in his boxers still so she could feel him hard against him. She now wished that she hadn't had put her shorts on, they'd both be one step closer to being satisfied. While their make out session got more heated they didn't hear the knock on the door, or the door open. "Jesus Christ…" they both heard at the same time, and they both knew instantly who it was before the door slammed shut. Opie.
Charlie leaned her head against the wall and let her legs slide down. She could hear him breathing heavily "Go take a shower; I'll go tell the guys that you'll be a few minutes longer…" She said letting out a defeated breath of her own as she fixed her clothes. Jax leaned in and kissed the top of her head and made his way into the bathroom, knowing that she could convince anyone in this club to do anything. She headed outside and saw all the guys turn and expect it to be Jax. Clay put his hands on his face and sat down "You're killing me sweetheart" her 'uncle' said to her. A smirk crept onto her face as she shrugged "Sorry, don't know what to tell you." She said as she scanned the room "Where's Op?" she asked when she didn't see her brother "Said something about dumping chemicals in his eyes" She heard her father reply with a skeptical look. He wasn't dumb, he knew what they were doing in there, but at least he didn't have to see it.
She made her way outside and looked for her brother; he was over in the garage working on his bike. He was one of the few that were staying to keep an eye on the shop and the ladies, herself included. "OP!" she yelled out before she heard a loud popping sound. She wasn't sure what she heard until she felt a liquid running down her side. She put her hand to her right side right above her belly button. She turned her head and saw a set of ape hangers riding away. Finally the pain hit her and fell to her knees. By this point everyone had heard the gunshot and running out to see what happened. Opie who had witnessed almost the whole thing had started running to his baby sister "Charlotte!" he yelled as he slid and caught her before she fell on the ground.
Jax was one of the last ones to make it outside, and saw Charlie laying bloody in her brothers hands "Someone call 911!" he yelled as he made his way over to his girlfriend, kneeling down by her side. "I already did…" Juice said quietly, watching everyone gather around her. A few minutes later, which felt like eternity to everyone else the ambulance arrived. Charlie had passed out at this point, but Chibs kept checking for a pulse to make sure that she was still alive. The EMT's checked her out and transported her to Saint Thomas, Jax going in the Ambulance with her, Piney and Opie rode in the truck to the hospital and everyone else followed on their bikes. They had to make sure that Charlie was alright before they called Church to figure out what retaliation would be.
Charlie woke up in a hospital bed, a huge pain in her side and a bunch of beeping monitors, plus her hand was asleep. Why was her hand asleep? She opened her eyes slowly and saw her blonde haired man, asleep on her hand. She smiled and wiggled her fingers, trying to wake him up. A few seconds later he stirred and looked up at her "Hey darlin" he grinned and leaned up to kiss her forehead "How ya feelin?" he asked as he sat back down. "Like I was shot…" she said bluntly and moved her robe out of the way to look at the bandage around her side. "Nothing was ruined right? I still have all my parts right?" she asked looking at Jax. He smiled and nodded, "Yeah, and the surgery went well, but there was something else the doc had to tell us but she said she wanted to wait till you woke up." He said and leaned down and kissed her lightly "You scared the piss out of me Char…" He admitted as he rested his forehead against hers.
After talking for a few minutes the doctor eventually popped in and said hello. "So doc, tell me I'm all in one piece" Charlie laughed softly and slid her thumb slowly over Jax's hand. The doctor smiled and nodded "Surgery went perfect, ran a few tests as protocol, and then we had to do some more tests because of what we found." She smiled and leaned against the bed "Congratulations Ms. Winston. You're roughly four weeks pregnant."
