" Ma, Clay. Nina has to talk to you." Jax said as we got to the bottom of the stairs.

" Ok. What is up baby." Gemma said as she handed me and Jax a beer.

" I got an interesting phone call from one of my girls that is coming." I told them as I took a drink of my beer.

" What did she have to say?" Clay asked.

" well you are not going to like it. The girls and I are requested to be at the crab feed next week." I told them

" absolutely not. I will not have my brother's girls let alone my children's mother in one of those uniforms." Jax said raising his voice.

" I agree with Jax on this one Nina." Clay backed Jax.

" Uncle Jim is the one that requested us to be there. A plus is that all of the Sons are to be there and the military boys come home tomorrow and will be there too." I said as I massaged Jax's shoulders.

" Fine. I will not make that big of a deal about going but I hope everyone knows that if they even look at you wrong that they will have to deal with the whole club." J ax said as he kissed my hand.

" What do you say about this Clay?" Gemma asked.

" I do not like those uniforms either but I trust Nina's judgment on if they are protected because after the show I got this morning I would not mess with her and I don't think Tig would either and he cant keep his dick in his pants." Clay said as he got another beer.

" What show Nina Bug?" Gemma asked.

" I kicked Half Sack's ass and Uncle Clay got a week of dish duty at the clubhouse." I said with a chuckle.

" I take one day off of work and I miss an ass kicking and I change to see Clay do dishes. This is bull shit." Gemma said with a laugh.

" enough laughing at my expense and lets go tell the guys because I can tell they are not going to like it." Clay said as he slipped in his cut and kissed Gemma.

" Auntie Gemma can you watch the kids they are all asleep?" I asked pulling on my sweatshirt.

" If you have to ask then I have taught you nothing." She said heading for the stairs.

Meanwhile at the Clubhouse…( Kip's POV)

" Prospect why didn't you tell me about your past?" Chibs asked as he walked into my room.

" I didn't tell anyone because I am ashamed of it. My mom wrote me in Iraq after her and my dad got in a fight over me. She wrote that I ripped her family from her. She said that it was my fault that my brother turned down the NFL to be a marine and that my sister did not marry her high school boyfriend because I filled her head with love non sense. That crushed me so bad that I never looked back to where I came from because I thought that my dad felt the same way." I said with a tear in my eye.

" You mom is a bitch. She has never liked people thinking for themselves. Things she blamed you for were not your fault. Ky has always wanted to be like his big brother. Meg's ex boyfriend was a dick and treated her like shit. She wanted to marry for love not money or power." I heard from behind me. I turned and saw Sara standing at the door. " Sorry to eavesdrop but Clay is here and he wants to see everyone in the living room."

" It is ok to eavesdrop because I know you and Shelby know what she is like and thank you for that." I said as I passed and kissed the top of her head.

(Nina's POV)

" ok Nina has an announcement to make." Clay said "the floor is yours Nina"

" Thank you. Shelby or Sara did one of you guys get a call from your dad?" Shelby nodded. " ok so you girls know what this is about." I said

" Yea I told Sara but not the guys." Shelby added.

" Well I got a call from your sister tonight Kip." I told him.

" Is something wrong?" he asked.

" Not exactly." I said then Kip interrupted me with " what do you mean ' not exactly'."

" Well Uncle Jim called and requested that all of us girls work the crab feed next week." I told him.

" No. I will not have my sister and friends being paraded around like they are pieces of meat. Not happening." Kip yelled.

" I said that to Half Sack. But Nina assured me that they will be ok because all of the military guys and all of us will be there." Jax told him. " Between them and us I think they will be ok."

" What do you say Clay?" Tig asked.

" I agree with how they are paraded around but I trust Nina's judgment on protection. I think we should go because I don't what the HA on my ass. But I want one of us with the girls at all times." Clay said.

" Even in the bathroom?" Sara asked

" yes even in the bathroom. But no funny shit because we will be in Top Hatter country." Clay concluded. I turned to Shelby and asked " are you ready to face him. And to talk about it?"

" Yea I am ready to face him and what he did to me." She said turning to face Juice. " I have to tell you guys some thing."

" Good ahead sweetheart. We are all listening." Piney told her.

" well 5 years ago I had a boyfriend and he keep pressuring me into sex and I keep telling him no. well my mom got cervical cancer and she could not have any more kids. She really wanted a boy. Well I volunteered to carry my brother for her. I took a home pregnancy a couple after the egg was implanted to see if it took and it did. Well David came over and found the pregnancy test and I accused me of cheating on him." She started to sob.

" it is ok sweetie you don't have to continue if you don't want to." Opie told her.

" No I need to. Well he was really mad and he got violent towards me. He pushed me around and then he kneed me in the stomach and threw me down the stair in my house and left. My mom found me and took me to the doctors to see if I was ok. I started to bleed on the way there and I had a miscarriage. I killed my baby brother. He was mi familia and I was suppose to protect him and I failed at that." she said finally breaking down.

" OK that is enough for tonight. Come on Shel lets get you to bed." Sara said. " Nina will you finish for her?"

" Sure. I love you girls and I will see you in the morning." I said as the exited the room. " As you can tell even 5 years later she still feels guilt. Her due date is coming up next week so she might be distant then. So don't push her to talk to you. Let her come to you. He made it look like she tripped down the stairs. So when I was pregnant I was not allowed to walk down stairs by myself. We have keep her away from the crab feed the past five years but we cant make excuses anymore because Jim will catch on."

" why would someone do that to her. She is so selfless." Juice asked.

" because he was a dick and did not deserve her." I told him.

"Does her mom know what really happened that day?" Opie asked.

" No she does not. I cant face her with the truth. My dad would flip out and chain me to my bed and never let me leave his sight." we heard from the bar. We all turned to see Shelby.

" Shelby come here." Chibs said. She walked over to him and sat on his lap. " you never have to worry about anyone here hurting you ok. We all love you like a sister and a girl friend. So never be afraid of us."

" Thank you guys for being so excepting of my and my problems." she said as she walked around and gave everyone a kiss on the cheek.

" we all have our share of problems little one." Clay said as she walked down the hall to her room. " Juice you better take care of her or I will personally beat your ass."

" Don't worry Clay I will I promise. I am going to bed good night." he said exiting the room.

" I feel bad for her Clay what are we going to do?" Opie asked

" we wait and see if the ass hole tries anything at the feed. But it is late and we have a busy day tomorrow so we are going to take off. Good night boys." Clay said exiting the room followed by me and Jax.
