Ride with the Devil Chapter 2 - A New Kind Of Family, a sons of anarchy fanfic

It was hours later and Savannah was sitting in the spare dorm Gemma had made up for her. It had been decided by all that she would stay at the clubhouse for the time being while they put out feelers to see just how much danger she was in. Despite the sadness she was feeling about her parents she couldn't help but to feel a bit lighter. She had loved her family growing up they were the perfect parents , but here, she couldn't help but feel like maybe this being a part of this family was something bigger, something more solid and stable. This was a family deep down. How many people had families that would literally take a bullet to save your life after only knowing you for minutes?

"Hey Doll, you okay?"

Savvy looked over to see Tig standing in the doorway. He was leaning against the doorway with a pleasant smirk on his face. You couldn't quite call it a smile on Tig. But it was friendly, not menacing or mean just Tig.

"Aye. I'm fine thank ya. Just thinkin' bout everythin' that's going on. It's Tig right? Did na get ta talk ta ya much earlier."

"Lot's going on. You know, Chibs is real happy you're here. Despite the circumstances that brought you here he's practically bouncing off the walls that you're here."

She couldn't help but smile at that. Especially because of who it was coming from. She may not know Tig but she knew him enough to know he wasn't one to talk much. She watched him then, he was watching her to, looking at her like he was drinking her all in.

"What's yer real name Tig? Can't really be Tig, tha's more like a nick name if I ever 'eard one."

"You're right. It's not my real name. But, if I tell you my real name what are you giving me?"

"Wha' da ya want if ya tell me Tiggy?"

"Oh doll, that's a loaded question. How bout I tell you now and you owe me. I'll let you know when I decide what I want."

She bit her lip at that statement. She could feel her cheeks flush red at the look in his eyes. She had never felt so wanted. Being here near him was going to interesting to say the least.

"Sounds like a deal ta me."

"It's Alex. See ya round dollface."

*Tigs POV*

Jesus. He was in deep. Tig knew there was no way he was gonna be able to stop thinking about her. He knew she was his the moment he saw her. After the interaction he had with her in the dorm he knew what he wanted from her. The fact that she responded to his verbal advances made him feel that much stronger. She was going to be his. She was perfect old lady material. She would be the first to wear his crow. He had never given a bitch his crow before. Not even the twins mom earned that right. Stupid gash took his girls and flew the coop when she knew she wasn't getting shit with him.

"Ey Tiggy. Think it's bout time had a li'l chat you and I. Bout me niece."

"Aww shit Chibs. You gotta be shittin' me."

"She's me girl brother. She's na a sweetbutt fer ya ta fuck with. Specially na right now. She's seen and dealt with enough shite."

"Look, Chibs man it's not like that. "

An incredulous look crossed over Chibs' face at that. Tig knew how it sounded. He was never one to be serious. Always had a different bitch in his bed each night. No one, except Gemma, really though he had it in him to be serious about a woman.

"Jesus Mary and Joseph. Ye can't be serious Tiggy. She's young enough ta be yer daughter. Fer fucks sake she's my daughter! If ye hurt her I'll kill ye ye hear me! Fuck. If she wants ye though I won't stop ye. All I want is fer her to be happy. Especially now."

"Hold the fucking phone brother. What the fuck do you mean she's your daughter? I thought she was your niece!"

*Gemma's POV*

Gemma was in deep thought about one Savannah Erin Telford. She felt for the girl. Something about her just pulled everyone around her in. She could see it in all the guys faces earlier when she told them about her parents. Gemma was just thinking about what she could do to help the young girl feel more at home when she walked into the end of a conversation she was sure Tig and Chibs did not want any one over hearing.

"Hold the fucking phone brother. What the fuck do you mean she's your daughter? I thought she was your niece!"

"That's what I'd like to know."

Gemma couldn't help but smirk at the identical shocked look on the face of the two men in front of her. One obviously wanting to be more than friendly with the young Irish girl and one who was obviously keeping a bigger from her and everyone else in his life.

"Oh shite."

*Chibs POV*

Shite. Shite. Shite. That's all Chibs could think when he looked between Tig and Gemma's faces. He was hiroyally fucked. This was not a secret he had ever planned on telling anyone. Truth of the matter is that Savannah Erin Telford is not the daughter of Seamus and Moira Telford. She was their niece. When Savvy was just a baby her mother died from complications during labor. Chibs and Lily were never in love, they only stayed together for the baby. After she died Chibs knew he wasn't the kind of man who could take care of a baby alone. So a desperate Chibs took a baby Savannah to his youngest brother and pleaded for them to take her and raise her as their own in the safety of the country. It worked well, until she was ten and Jimmy O found out about her.

"She's me girl. Her ma died givin' birth to 'er. Lily and I did na love each other. But we loved the babe we made so we were going ta keep 'er. When Lily died I knew I could never be the father that Savvy needed. So I took 'er to me brother in the country and he and 'is wife took her in. Things were fine. But after I got sent here Jimmy O found out about 'er and started threatening them. That's why they stopped me from talkin' to her when she was still a wee one."

"Jesus brother, fuck. Well this just complicates the shit out of things."

"Aye. Tha it does. But I stand by wha' I said before. You treat 'er right and make 'er happy and I'll support ya. But ya can't tell Savvy what ya know. It'll break her heart. She doesn't need that right now."

"Well, well. Is our little Tiggy growing up? She got you on the hook already? I have to say I couldn't have picked a better girl for you. Proud of you. Chibs, you need to tell the club about what Savvy really is to you. This makes things a lot different."

"Aye. Yer right Gem. I'll tell 'em at the next church. Shite this is all fallin' apart."

Chibs new that eventually he would have to tell Savvy that he was really her father. With the whole club about to know the truth someone was bound to let it slip. His money was on Juice. The boy was smart when it came to computers and that shite but when it came to common sense he was clearly lacking.

*Savannah's POV*

Dream: She was in the basement again. Hiding from the screams and blood and death that she knew was above her. Separated only by a rug and the small patch of floor that lifted up in order to hide her down there, she knew she should do something, that she should try to save her parents but she couldn't. She was frozen down there. Suddenly the dream changed, she could hear the feet above her circling her. Before she could even blink the floor was ripped up and Jimmy O was evily grinning down at her. "Now what are ye doin' down there lovey. Come now, Uncle Jimmy wants to have some fun with ye before I kill ye."

Screaming Savvy woke with a start. She knew it wasn't real. But she couldn't stop shaking. Jimmy O terrified her. Nothing scared her more now than the thought of Jimmy O finding her. Once upon a time he used to be someone she trusted. Until she found out the truth about who he was and what he had done. He had taken everything from her. Killed two of the most important people in her life.

"Savannah? Sweetheart it's Gemma. You okay in there?"

"Gem? You can come in."

Gemma walked in and Savvy could see that she was worried. She was glad it was Gemma that was here though. The bad dreams were too much and she didn't think she could handle one of the guys coming in and fretting over her. Especially Chibs and Tig. She knew her bond with them was stronger than the one she had with the other members of the club. But Gemma, Momma Gemma, she could handle that, she may be just what Savvy needed right now.

"What's wrong honey?"

"Just a bad dream Mama. I dreamt that things went differently. That Jimmy O found me hidin' in the basement. That he was goin' ta do things ta me before he killed me. Gem I can't take that. I'm terrified he's gonna find me 'ere. What if he goes after ya because of me?"

"Don't you worry you're pretty little head sweetheart. He won't hurt you. All those boys out there, especially Tig and Chibs, they won't let it. And neither will I. You know, I never had a daughter before, but I think if I had she'd be something like you. Now I'm about to head over to the hospital and see Abel. Want to come meet him?"

"Aye. Thanks Gem, I'd like that."

She knew Gemma was right. These boys were her family now. And family takes care of one another. Maybe it was time for her to talk to Chibs. Tell him what she already knows. Filip 'Chibs' Telford was her father. And she loved him. Despite what he probably thinks, she understands why he did what he did. And she was thankful for the 23 years he had given her with her family in county cork. But now, now it was time for them to make up for the relationship they weren't able to have before.
