Chapter 16

"Everything ready?" Gemma asked Danni, the latter rolled her eyes and nodded.

"Yes mom, for the last time everything is ready" she said smiling a little and her mom just sighed.

"Good" she replied and then walked away.

"God, Abel is one spoiled kid" Cherry chuckled at the way Gemma was making everything absolutely perfect for his birthday.

"Yup, just wait until it's Conner's birthday, we'll have to go through this all over again" Danni grinned. Cherry and Donna laughed before they went off to make sure nothing was out of place or Gemma would kill them.

"Hey baby" Juice said as he came up behind her. They were outside and around the side a little from the main entrance.

"Hey" she replied as she turned in his arms.

"Gemma finally accepted that everything was perfect?" he asked her grinning and she chuckled.

"Yeah…or at least I hope so" she laughed and he just stared at her smiling.

"Good, you've been stolen from me all day" he said "It's not fair" he complained and even pouted the slightest bit and she grinned.

"Aw, poor baby" she cooed before she leaned up and sucked his pouted lip into her mouth nipping it a little.

Juice wasted no time in pressing her closer to him and initiating a proper kiss. His left hand cupped the back of her head and tilted it so he could delve his tongue into her mouth real deep and a moan came from the back of her throat. He backed her against the brick wall still kissing the hell outta her before his hands started to roam and she bit his lip sharply making him groan before she was kissing him again. As he stepped closer still and their bodies pressed against each other fully Juice moved his hands from her ass to grab her face as he kissed her harder but Danni did the opposite by moving her hands from his neck down to his back pockets and unashamedly pressing him closer.

He trailed kisses down her neck to give them both a chance to breath as her hands moved up the back of his shirt dragging her nails against his skin causing a groan to erupt from Juice and he sucked harder on her neck before his mouth was on hers again. Juice grabbed the back of her thighs underneath her blue summer dress and he lifted her easily into his arms. They were really getting into it when they heard Gemma yell "They're here!" and Danni pulled back with a sigh as Juice groaned and leaned his head against hers.

"Come on baby, we need to" she said with a soft smiled stroking his cheek.

"I know" he said pouting again and she kissed him quickly but pulled back as he tried to deepen it again "Ok, ok, let's go babe" he said grinning and she rolled her eyes with a small laugh.

When they got to the entrance again they saw Abel throw the car door open and run for them. It looked kind of like he was excited until they looked closer. He looked upset and when Jax and Tara got out of the car with Connor it was clear Tara had been crying and Jax was half sad half furious.

"Auntie Danni!" Abel yelled and threw himself at her. She bent to his level and hugged him tight when she saw his tears.

"Hey, hey, baby boy what's with the tears?" she asked him gently.

"Mom…momma not…not my momma…" he cried into her neck and Danni froze looking up at Tara again. Only a few seconds later and another car pulled up and out stepped Wendy.

"Oh fuck no" Danni muttered furiously wanting nothing more than to knock the smirk right off of her face. She guessed Tara would do it herself if she wasn't so upset. Juice put a hand on her shoulder in both comfort and restraint and she took a deep breath. She pulled back a little and looked at Abel, he looked so sad and lost that her heart broke for him. Gemma had a hand on her heart not really knowing what to do right now but they all looked pretty pissed at Wendy.

"Come with me?" she asked Abel softly and he sniffed nodding to her so she lifted him up. She looked over at Tara and Jax who were watching her and they both nodded to her giving her permission to try and fix this for them.

She sat them both on a bench far away from everyone else but they could still see them. Abel had stopped crying but he still looked extremely upset and Danni can honestly say she never wanted to kill Wendy more not even for all the shit she'd done before. The look on his face was enough for Danni to kill the bitch with her bare hands.

"Honey…what did Wendy tell you?" she asked him.

He sniffed again before he spoke "Sh…she said that momma wasn't my real mom…momma but she was and that she was meant to be with daddy not momma" he stuttered.

Danni took a deep breath in an attempt to calm herself down and stop her from marching over to Wendy fight the fuck now "Abel?" she questioned and the little boy looked up at her "Do you trust me?" she asked him.

He nodded his head "Yes auntie Danni" he said quietly.

"And you know I'd never lie to you?" she asked him and he nodded again "Ok, then I need you to listen to what I say alright? I'm going to tell you the truth about all of this" she said and he turned to her more nodding again.

"You're momma and daddy were in love when they were teenagers but your momma left for a while. While she was gone your daddy got married to Wendy and she got pregnant…there was a baby in her stomach" she clarified for him and his confusion turned to understanding "Your daddy didn't love Wendy though so they broke up but were still going to have the baby…that baby was you Abel" she said and his eyes widened "Let me explain ok?" she asked and he nodded quietly.

"Wendy didn't take care of herself and everything she did affected you because you were in her tummy. She took drugs…things that are bad for you even though she knew that it could harm you. You were born too early baby boy, because of what she did to herself you came into the world a little earlier than planned but your momma had come home and she saved your life" she continued and Abel's little eyes widened again "Your momma nursed you back health, she looked after you every day while you were in the hospital…but Wendy she didn't want to be a momma, she signed some papers to say that she wasn't your momma anymore" she paused letting him get his head around that. This was way to fucking much for a 4 year old. Wendy the fucking bitch…

"When Wendy went away your daddy and momma got back together because they still loved each other. And your momma…she loved you the second she saw you even though you didn't come from her tummy. So, eventually your momma adopted you…she signed papers to say she wanted to be your momma and now she is. Wendy is not meant to be with your daddy Abel; your parents are very much in love. They're married and they have two children that they love with everything they have, baby I promise you. Everyone here with the exception of Wendy is your family and we always will be" she explained to him.

"But…if momma didn't have me in her tummy then how can she be my momma?" he asked curiously tilting his head.

Danni sighed "Well…your uncle Tig and uncle Juice and uncle Chibs…all of them, you think of them as family don't you?" she asked him and he nodded straight away "Ok, well they're not all blood related but they're still family. They're your uncles because they love you and they want to be your family. It's the same for your momma darlin'; she didn't give birth to you but she is your momma. She's the one that baths you, she feeds you, she teaches you, she helps you…she loves you and that makes her your momma" she told him.

"So Wendy didn't want to be my mom?" he asked and Danni nodded hesitantly "But my momma wanted me even though I wasn't in her tummy?" he asked and Danni nodded again and Abel grinned.

"So blood doesn't make you family, it's if they act like it?" he asked her and she chuckled at the intelligence of the 4 year old.

"Yeah baby, that's exactly it" she nodded.

"I want my momma to be my momma" he said nodding fiercely.

"And she wants to be your momma too" she replied running her hand through his hair.

Abel grinned toothily up at his auntie "Thank you auntie Danni…I...I think I get it now" he said nodding "I love you" he said hugging her tightly.

She smiled at him and hugged him back "I love you too kid" she replied and he hopped down off of the bench and ran again towards everyone else but this time with a smile on his face. He ran straight to Tara and dived into her open arms, you could practically see the relief rolling off of her. Everyone was smiling at Danni and looking at her in amazement as she solved their problems yet again but she was too busy smiling at the small family to notice…until she saw Wendy trying to sneak away.

Danni took long strides towards Wendy's car which Wendy was skittering towards. As Wendy opened her car door Danni reached her and slammed it shut again stopping her from leaving. Wendy turned towards her in a fright and then looked at her with wide eyes as Danni silently fumed.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" Danni asked through gritted teeth.

"He's my son, I have every right to say that to him if…" she started but Danni slammed her hand against the door by Wendy's head in anger.

"You have no fucking right to do anything concerning my nephew. You gave up your rights Wendy. I fucking warned you to back off" she snapped at the other woman.

Wendy licked her lips and tried to look indifferent by scoffing "We're done here" she said and opened her door again which Danni slammed shut again. They were now both standing face to face with their left sides to the car and their right sides to the club who were watching it play out.

"No, if you keep pulling this shit then I'd say we're just gettin' started" she spat at her.

"Danni I didn't mean…" Wendy tried again.

"Don't!" Danni hissed "Don't fucking lie to me Wendy. Not only did you tell him that but you did it on his birthday…his fucking birthday! Did you even know it was his birthday? You're his "mom" right?" she asked condescendingly "You should know when his birthday is" she said.

"I…I didn't think…I mean…" Wendy stuttered.

Danni shook her head "You didn't fucking remember did you?" she asked and Wendy looked away "You are nothing to Abel. You are nothing to me. You are nothing to Jax. You are nothing to anyone here do you understand? I told you to stay away from my family Wendy and I meant it" she seethed at her.

Then Danni leaned in real close "If you ever come at me or Jax or anyone here through Abel again…I will kill you!" she hissed at Wendy who flinched at her tone and the look in her eyes. She knew that Danni would do it too. Nobody fucked with her family or anyone she loved and got away with it.

"Are we fucking clear? You stay away from Abel" she stated and Wendy finally met her eyes again before immediately looking away and nodding.

"Auntie Danni! Come on! I want to look at the presents!" Abel shouted in excitement pulling his mom and dad towards the entrance but looking back at her.

Danni took a deep breath and dropped her hand from the door and stepping back. She turned to Abel and smiled "Sure darlin' I'm coming" she said and he clapped before shooting inside. Danni glanced back at the still frozen in fear Wendy before she walked towards her family and Juice wrapped an arm around her waist while her mom squeezed her hand gently and they entered the clubhouse not looking at Wendy again.

"Can I open them now?" Abel asked his momma and she chuckled.

"You need to wait a while" she said smiling and he sighed remembering that he had to wait the year before too. But then he ran off to the bouncy castle that Gemma had gotten for a few hours.

Danni saw Tara let out a huge sigh and she patted Juice on the chest before walking over to her friend and sitting down next to her. Tara looked at her and gave a small smile as she grasped her hand and gave a small squeeze.

"Thanks Danni. I would've killed the bitch myself I was just so worried and upset" Tara said shaking her head.

Danni shrugged "Nah its ok, I don't mind…really" she grinned and Tara laughed.

"Yeah, I'd bet you'd take any opportunity to hit her" she said and Danni just smirked not commenting "Thank you for explaining it to him though. I didn't even know where to start…" Tara sighed.

Danni shook her head "It's really ok Tara. He knows now and he's accepted it…you know he still loves you right?" she asked and Tara nodded.

"Yeah I know…it was just a shock for him. As soon as you finished talking to him and he ran at me he told me he was sorry and that he loved me. I'm just glad that he's ok with it" she said and Danni nodded.

"Yeah…you might need to explain it again in a few years just to make sure he really understood" she said.

"I know, I will but hopefully he'll have the same reaction" Tara said but she looked a little worried.

"I know he will. He's a smart kid Tara. He loves you and he knows the basics so it'll be fine. Don't worry about it" Danni said patting her hand and then getting up as the other woman smiled at her.

Jax squeezed his sister's arm as he passed her in a silent thank you and she just smiled at him as she walked back over to Juice who immediately wrapped her in his arms again. He pressed a kiss to her jaw as Gemma walked towards them with Clay stopping in front of them.

"We gotta do something about Wendy" Gemma said and Danni sighed.

"I dunno what to do" she replied and Clay sighed this time.

"Maybe she's taken the hint this time…I really thought you'd kill here out there baby" Clay said to his daughter.

"I restrained myself only because Abel was out there" Danni said huffing and Juice tightened his grip on her.

"She's not taken the hint…I don't think she will unless we do something" Gemma said shaking her head.

"What did you have in mind?" Clay asked his wife.

She shrugged and Danni sighed "She's not…physically hurt anyone but…"she started.

"Dove, she hurt you remember?" she asked "You let it go when it's you, you always do you only ever react when it involves someone you love" she continued and Danni sighed again "Look, she almost got you killed, got you put away, tore you and Jax apart, almost killed Abel, tried to ruin Jax and Tara and then pulled this shit today. She's progressing and I'm not gonna let her hurt someone" Gemma said strongly.

"We only ever see her when she comes over here though" Juice commented from behind Danni.

"We'll just need to wait and see what happens" Clay added.

"Fine" Gemma sighed "But she does one more thing and…" Gemma started but Danni didn't want her mom getting into any more trouble than she already had.

"I'll take care of it" Danni interrupted "We don't need you killing her and ending up on the run again" Danni said and her mother rolled her eyes.

Gemma made to say something but Abel shouted "Cake!" and they looked around to see Jax walk in with a big birthday cake that the girls made. They sang happy birthday to him which made Danni chuckled a little at the big bad bikers singing.

"Make a wish" Tara encouraged him and he closed his eyes tight before he blew out the candles and they clapped.

"I wished for…" he tried but Danni covered his mouth with her hand.

"Dude, you can't tell us your wish! If you tell it won't come true!" she exclaimed acting like a kid herself.

"Oh right, ok" he grinned shrugging sheepishly.

Danni turned to her brother and sister-in-law "Do you teach him nothing?" she asked shaking her head.

"Shut up Danni, you're suck a kid" Jax laughed and she stuck her tongue out "Way to prove your an adult" he said.

"For your information big brother, I stuck my tongue out maturely ok? There's a difference" she said and he just shook his head in amusement and bemusement.

"Presents?" Abel asked.

"Presents" Jax and Tara said together.

"Presents!" Abel cheered and ran at the birthday presents and Kenny and Ellie got cake from their parents.

There was a knock at the door as Abel ripped open a present from Gemma and Clay. Two seconds later Bobby came back into the room followed by Agent Sanders and Danni sighed heavily. Bobby said something to him, probably told him to wait there, and then made his way over to Danni.

"He says he has reason to take you in again" he told her.

"What the fuck for now?" Juice asked angrily.

"Don't know, sorry" Bobby apologised.

"No its ok, not your fault" she said and then Abel ran at her.

"Look! Look auntie Danni, I got a remote control car!" he said excitedly.

She squatted down to his height "That's cool dude, I might steal it sometime" she said and he pouted a little making her laugh "Kidding kid. Listen…I have to go just now" she said and his face fell.

"Why?" he asked upset and Danni wanted to punch Agent Sander's face in then and there.

"I have to go sort something out…it's really important baby boy, I'm sorry" she said and he sighed a little.

"Its ok" he said quietly and she hugged him tightly.

"Hey" she said tilting his head up "See that big present over there?" she asked and he looked his face lighting up.

"Yeah?" he asked.

"That's from me and uncle Juice. Happy birthday baby" she said and he squealed happily running over to it.

Danni stood back up and shook her head at her parents who looked like they wanted to kill Agent Sanders. Then she nodded to Jax and Tara "Sorry" she said and they shook their heads at her with a glare to the Agent. She leaned up and kissed Juice quickly "Stay calm baby" she said "Love you" he kissed her again "Love you more" he said and she smiled a little before walking over to agent Sanders.

"Hands behind your back Danielle" he said smirking again and she looked over at Abel making sure he was occupied and wouldn't see her being arrested before she turned around and let him cuff her.

The drive was silent until Danni saw that he wasn't taking her to the station but was heading further and further away from it. "Where are you taking me?" she asked him.

He smiled almost lovingly at her in the mirror "You know I admire you Danielle" he started "You're a very beautiful woman, you can clearly take care of yourself, you didn't take your fiancé's shit, your good with kids, your loyal…there's nothing about you that someone couldn't love" he said and she got a little nervous. It was like a switch was flicked and suddenly he seemed like a creepy guy rather than someone trying to lock her up.

"What's that supposed to mean?" she asked him kind of unsure if she wanted to know.

"It means that I've been looking into your life and trying to put you behind bars but…along the way I realised that even I couldn't not love you Danielle. And now that I realised that I love you…we can be together" he explained as though it were the most normal thing in the world.

Danni panicked a little now. Great, he's not a normal cop. He's a creepy stalker, delusional cop.

Oh shit…

What do ya think?
