Hey Everyone! I'm back! I've been working on the past couple of chapters and was wondering if I should have split them up a little more but oh well. This is what you all get. lol. I sure hope you enjoy the chapters!


Juice


The area though bright and filled with various coloured bikes seemed dark and menacing. Deciding on meeting at the secondary location of the Northern Devils and not their actual Club house had been a good move for both the Northern Devils and with SAMCRO. It was one thing to impede on another clubs turf but to barge into their house was on a different level. This had led them to a bike repair shop just south of the city limits. For people driving by it would seem like normal repair shop, and not an MC hangout.

Jax and Opie stood in the forefront as Chibs, Tigs, Happy, Bobby and Juice stood behind watching closely at the oncoming group of burley men. Much like SAMCRO, Northern Devils was extremely diverse with various men standing proud behind their MC. What caught Juice off guard was the large man who had the President badge sown to perfect on his kutte. He was a large man with a football player stance with strong willed shoulders that stood broad and strong giving an aura of dominance that one wouldn't want to mess with. Thick brown hair that was slicked backed showing off a vine type tattoo that wrapped around his neck, dark menacing brown eyes that bore into every single member of SAMCRO.

"Evening Gentlemen." The President spoke clear with a tilt of his chin to acknowledge every single one of them.

"Evening." Jax spoke back trying to assert his own dominance with not much success. There was just something about this guy that screamed leader.

"Glad to see you all made it safe to our little neck of the woods. Names Roman." Sticking out his hand for Jax to take and at that moment it had seemed as though everyone forgot how to breathe as Jax looked down at the hand.

"It's a beautiful drive. I'm Jax, and this is Opie." He replied, taking a hold of his hand for a firm shake. A smile formed on Roman's lips as he let go of Jax's hand and moved to Opie's. Everyone who had held their breath let out an audible noise as Roman beckoned for the group to follow.

"You're a lot younger than I thought." Roman commented taking a look at the whole group.

"Must be something in the water." Jax joked which granted a laugh from Roman as they continued to walk side by side.

"Must be. Your guys can hang around here while we chat." He pointed towards the small area where the members from Northern Devils sat.

Looking back Jax tilted his head towards the group "Shouldn't be too long fella's. It's been a long drive so why don't you all just take it easy and meet our new friends."

Everyone nodded as they walked towards the tables and sat down. Juice had sat next to Tigs who was already eyeing up the woman that worked at the shop as he talked idly with Chibs about the idea of having something different instead of the regular croweaters from home. Instead of indulging in on their conversation Juice pulled out his phone as he sent a message to Nora.

"How's your day going? As cliché as this will sound it would have been nice to see you before I left."

Too much of his surprise he received a message back almost instantly "That's funny I was just thinking the same thing. Not bad though, just trying to get everything together for when I go home for the week."

A frown appeared on his face "I just realized I won't see you for 2 weeks. That sucks."

"The 2 weeks will fly by and before you know it we'll see each other again."

A sharp elbow pierced into Juice's side as the men started laughing "We're here on what could be considered a vacation and instead of taking in the sights you are glued to your phone." Tig remarked with a sharp laugh of his own. Juice knew what he meant by 'sights' and it wasn't that Juice hadn't appreciated the woman that were staring at him, he just had something better albeit not official at home.

"You got to stop fanning over that girl, Juicy. You need to focus on what you have in the now." Chibs took that moment to speak up as he pointed towards a leggy blonde working on a bike across from them.

Shrugging Juice sent a quick "I'm counting down the days." Before pocketing his phone to take a look at the blonde they were all fanning over. He'd give it to them she was extremely attractive and the fact that she could work on a bike gave her even more credit than an average croweater.

"So, who's going to go talk to her?" Tig asked, rubbing a hand along the stubble of his chin.

"None of you." A voice spoke from behind them. In unison the men looked over their shoulder to see a spiky brown haired guy. He wore the customary kutte with Northern Devils stitched across the chest.

Looking forward again to give a double take Tigs shook his head "That's your chick?"

A proud smile streamed across the blonde guys face as he nodded his head "You bet, been together for three years. I'll go easier on you guys because you're not from around here." He smiled briefly before turning stone faced "She's mine though, so hands off."

"You got it…Ugh, what did you say your name was?" Tig asked.

"Beau." He replied idly while looking at the blonde instead of the guys.

"Nice to meet you, this is Chibs, Happy, Bobby and Juice." He fanned a hand around the group as they all tilted their heads.

"Sup guys. So you part of SAMCRO?" he asked as if missing the fact they were all wearing their kuttes.

"You bet." Tigs replied.

"Cool cool. Well if you need anything while ya'll are here let me know and we'll get something setup for you all." Looking down he gave them all a smile before walking towards the blonde to show the men just who she belonged to.

"Douche' canoe" Tig muttered under his breath before looking over at Juice who had lost interest in the conversation well before it had started.


Nora


"You're sure?" Brad asked for the fifth time since he'd entered the room and Nora was soon regretting asking if he could stay with them.

"Yes, jeeze. Brad If you couldn't stay with me and my family I wouldn't have told you that you could." She hadn't meant to sound so sharp but it was starting to get on her nerves that he felt the need to ask so many times after she'd told him 'yes' to begin with.

"No, I know. I just." He sighed then ran a hand across his face "It's just that no one has ever actively helped me out and I don't know. It's hard to believe I guess."

Feeling the world's biggest asshole, Nora sat beside Brad as she smiled weakly "It's what friends do. You deserve at least a week of relaxation…" she paused "Well, besides my Dad and his thousands of questions I'm sure he'll have."

Tilting his head to the side to look at her he gave a questioning glance "If he thinks we're dating I'll make sure to clear that up."

"No" Shaking her head as she waved her hands to dismiss his words "It's not that. He's, well. He can be kind of extreme."

Scrunching his brows together he tried to figure out the words she was telling him "What do you mean extreme?" his words were slow and deliberate.

Sighing, she never wanted to reveal anything about her family but with Brad putting her in the position and her blindly agreeing to help him she knew it would only be a matter of time that he put the puzzle pieces together "Well, you see he's kind of in this group of motorcycle enthusiasts." Before he could put in a word that she knew was coming she added "It's not like the MC group we have in town. They're just a bunch of guys that really like biking. He looks intimidating as hell and I know if you look past his rough exterior you'll see that he's a really good guy. I mean he is my Dad after all." She tried to make light of the conversation at the end but the way that Brad had stared straight ahead thoughts clearly running around his head made her think that the joke hadn't seeped through.

"Not like the Mc group here…" he repeated those words still looking straight ahead at the ground.

"Honestly he's a sweetheart. I just thought you should know before we get there." Patting his leg softly she wanted to switch the topic so bad, but she knew it would be useless as he was clearly trying to form questions.

"So just a group of guys that like bikes?" he asked now looking at her.

Nodding her head she smiled "Yep, he has a regular job and a regular life." Half of that was true but he didn't need to know. He was a loving father and husband but he didn't have a regular job at least not one that required a suit and tie like his family.

"Okay." He blew out a breath then stood "I look forward to meeting your folks…and Sister?" She'd only mentioned her sister once or twice to him and that was about it. Nora was actually surprised he'd remembered.

"You bet, just one. You'll love her." Smiling she watched him walk to the door.

Pausing just as his hand curled around the door knob he looked at her "Thank you again Nora. You're a good friend."

"You know I'll always be here for you."

"Thanks…" he whispered before opening the door and leaving the room.

Turning her attention towards the bag that she'd been packing before Brad had come around she was satisfied with the things she was bringing. The usual necessities along with her outfits that her parents despised, they would always tell her that she shouldn't hide the way she looks and to embrace the Nora they once knew. Sure she was more tomboy then her preppy self but that hadn't stopped the old Nora to appear once and a while. When Magi had made her wear the dress with her hair down she felt almost like her old self and it felt good. She wanted nothing more to bring that back but there was also that questioning voice in the back of her head that would tell her that someone from SAMCRO could recognize her. That could open some pretty bad doors for her should anything ever happen between SAMCRO and Northern Devils.

Shaking the thoughts away she continued to pack until everything was in its place and she was ready to go even though they weren't leaving until tomorrow afternoon. Sitting on the bed she reached for her phone to see that at that exact moment Magi's name appeared on the call display.

"Hey" she happily said, she'd only seen Magi once throughout the week and that was the incident from the cafeteria and after classes when she'd dropped everything off for her.

"Nora…" Magi's scruffy voice as if she'd been crying said over the phone.

Panic set in as she sat straight up "What's up Magi?"

"I…Oh god Nora." She fought out the words.

"Magi, tell me what's going on."

"I'm…I mean we're…I mean I…Nora I'm pregnant."

Freezing in place Nora clutched the phone as she heard her friend sobbing through the phone "You're sure?" she tried to even her voice out but it came out as a squeak.

"Ye-yeah. I took four tests and they all came back positive."

"Have you told Opie? Is it Opies?" her words came out without thought and as she asked her last question she clenched her eyes closed as she heard her friend sob even more.

"Yes" she scream sobbed out "Of course he is. I didn't have sex with anyone else and no I haven't told him. He told me that he'd call me when he got back from his trip. Fuck Nora what am I going to do?"

"First of all you're going to come over and we'll have a girl's night."

"Okay…" she whispered.

"Okay" she repeated "I'll see you in ten."

"See you in ten."

When Magi had reached the dorm and called Nora she bounded towards the stairs to let Magi in. When she'd reached the final stair and Magi came in sight Nora's stomach fell. Magi was standing in a baggy sweater, sweatpants, her hair a disheveled mess and eyes with dark black smears of makeup caked the bottom.

Opening the door Nora grabbed onto Magi's sweater sleeve to pull her into a well needed hug "It's going to be okay" she said into Magi's hair.

Feeling her nod Magi hadn't replied only sobbed even more when they made contact. Not caring who was watching Nora held Magi and let her cry. Every so often Nora would run her hand up and down Magi's back as she made soft soothing noises in hopes that would calm her. When Magi had shed all the tears she could she stepped back to look at Nora "Thank you."

"Of course. Let's go upstairs and we can chat." Taking a hold of Magi's hand Nora guided her towards the stairs to her dorm. People who were sitting the halls made quiet remarks but both continued to walk up they reached her dorm room. Once both were settled on the bed Nora reached for a box of tissues along with some make up wipes.

"So, when did you find out?" Nora asked opening the makeup wipes container to pull out a cloth and handing it to Magi.

Gratefully taking the cloth she dabbed at the dark splotches below her eyes "This morning I took the first test, and then throughout the day. After the fourth I knew it wasn't faulty testing it was true. Nora I don't know if I'm ready to be a Mom. I have so much life to live and honestly. I never thought Opie and I would be like a real thing."

"Life works in weird ways Magi." Nora said knowing all too well what Magi meant with Opie and her not actually being a thing.

"But a baby…Why couldn't I get something else like a cold sore?" sighing she finished cleaning under her eyes then handed the makeup wipe back to Nora to throw in the trash.

"You know you don' t have to keep it." Nora commented as she took the cloth then threw it in the trash.

"I know…I just don't know what to do." She sighed into her hands that now covered her face.

Half smiling she moved to sit next to Magi then draped an arm across her shoulder to pull her into a half hug "The one thing you need to do is tell Opie." She whispered.

"I know…" she breathed out "I just don't know how to tell him."

Resting her cheek against Magi's head she hugged her close "Just tell him the truth."

"…Okay…" Magi replied dropping her hands so that one sits on her thigh and the other overtop her stomach as she looked down at it "But not tonight. Can I crash at your place?"

"Of course, you can sleep in the bed and I'll sleep in the chair." she replied still in the same position as before.

"Thanks, Nora." Pulling away Magi looked up at Nora and smiled "You're a good friend."
