Okay, so this chapter and the next one were actually written as one but since it was about 9000 words long, I decided to break it up into two to keep it exciting. So I'd say; Enjoy!

I own nothing accept Christina Teller!

It had been about a week. All the time Christina had been busy making her house ready. Even though it was furnished and everything padded, there was still a lot she wanted to change. Elliot had already put in the hardwood floors she loved so much and put a grass mat in the backyard. So she only had to decorate it, paint her walls the right color, install all her stuff, buy some other stuff and make her bedroom and closet ready. Now, the closet was the biggest problem. Apparently, Christina had too much clothes and shoes which was going to be a problem. So eventually she decided to transform the storage cabinet, which was located in between two of the three bedrooms, into a small walk-in-closet. Christina had taken over some clothing racks from Luann and installed them into the storage cabinet. Clay had put some shelves on the wall which held all her shirts, pants and jeans. Her underwear was safely in her bedroom in a dresser.

Now, a week later, she was done and very proud on what she, Luann and her mother had accomplished. So there was a lot of need for some fun and release which for everybody in the area would be Fun Town. Her mother had gotten everyone together so they could all go at the same time. Christina had to admit that it was some fun time. Seeing how Bobby, Tig and her brother had gotten in the mini rollercoaster which actually was meant for kids was hysterical. But she had to walk away and look for some fun on her own. Her mom and Claw were becoming kinda hot for each other which gave her the wrong kind of goosebumps. So that was what she had done, she had walked away. Christina was just walking the grounds, greeting people here and there who had heard she had returned. When she arrived at the stands, she took the time to watch each and every one of them. The stands were always her favorites. When she walked past the shooting stand, she spotted a familiar mowhawk shooting targets. She smiled and decided she felt flirty enough today to join him. She put her bills on the counter just when Juice fired his last two shots. The carnie looked at her with a frown, which Christina took as a dare.

'Hitting anything?' she asked Juice while the carnie prepared her rifle.

Juice looked up in confusion but smiled when he saw the bright face and blonde hair that belonged to Christina Teller. 'Yeah, I hit a few', he said while taking the plush tiger the carnie gave to him as a price.

Christina nodded with a knowing smile. She had done this stand thousands of times. With Jax, Opie, Tig, Clay and her dad when she was younger. When she grew up, she began to see this as the perfect shooting exercise. She took the rifle before leaning a little closer towards Juice, putting her lips against his ear. 'The rifle is tampered with. You need to shoot a little bit higher to hit the target', she whispered before standing back up and lining her shot. She emptied the clip fast, not missing a single mark. When all her shots were fired, she lowered her rifle and smiled at the carnies who seemed thrown away. She turned towards Juice, who seemed amazed by her shooting skills.

'And we have a winner!' one of the carnies then yelled out making Christina jump up and down in a fake, happy way while clapping her hands. The other carnie handed her a giant teddy dog, which she had to grab with both hands. She walked away from the stand, Juice walking next to her.

'How did you know that?' he asked as soon as they were out of earshot from the carnies who looked at their backs in a cranky way.

Christina smiled at him before shrugging her shoulders. 'Have been going to this carnival ever since I was a little girl and growing up being surrounded by so many uncles, you learn a few things', she answered. 'Besides, you weren't wrong when you said that Tig was the one to teach me how to shoot'.

Juice smiled and nodded his head. 'You craving some cotton candy?' he asked next, pointing at the stand in front of them.

'Are you nuts? Cotton candy here is gross. Had a lot better', Christina answered.

'Want to share?' he asked, knowing that was her answering yes.

Christina smiled. 'I'd love to share', she said before taking a seat on one of the benches close by.

While Juice got the pink sweetness on a stick, Christina took her time looking over the grounds. Everyone was smiling, some kids whining and crying but except for those, everything seemed peaceful. Something that made Christina wonder when shit was going to hit the van.

She was pulled out of her thoughts when Juice took the seat next to her, holding the fluffy candy out to her. Christina took some before putting it in her mouth, feeling the sugar melt on her tongue.

'So, I take it the guys have given you the 101 on me huh?' she asked with a sneaky grin on her face.

Juice pulled a face. 'What makes you say that?'

'Well, I called the cotton candy gross and you still knew I wanted it. Only a couple of people know that is me saying yes. And all of these people hang around TM and SAMCRO. Who told you?'

Juice smiled his panty dropping smile at her, making her bite her lip, before answering. 'Piney is a smooth talked once he had enough. Jax likes talking about you, especially the embarrassing stuff and Tig… well he is just Tig. Talks a lot about you. But I don't ask him. That would make him suspicious and all'.

'Does he have something to be suspicious about?'

'Perhaps'.

Christina looked at Juice's face while he put some cotton candy in his mouth, his face showing he was totally flirting with her. It was something Christina was glad about. Juice wasn't one to be scared away because she was Jackson's little sister, Gemma's daughter and Clay's step-daughter, right?

'You not scared?' she asked then.

Juice's eyebrows furrowed together. 'What are you talking about?'

Christina shrugged. 'Well, you know', she said while pulling some pink candy from the big ball. 'You and me flirting while I am Samcro's princess, Jackson's sister, Gemma's daughter and Clay's step-daughter?'

'Not really', Juice admitted but she had pointed something out that he hadn't realized himself. 'Should I?' he then asked, suddenly kind of nervous. 'I mean, it's not like something is happening right? We are just flirting?'

Christina laughed at him. 'Don't worry. Yes, we are just flirting. And if something happens, if being the operative word here, they would just warn you. You're already family. They know you better than any outsiders. Besides, I'm sure my mother would be thrilled. She made it her life's mission to make me an old lady. Even after six years of total absence she still wants me to become an old lady. Something about "ruling Samcro with my brother when she and Clay step down".'

'Sounds like your mother', Juice snickered. 'My mother wanted me to stay out of trouble while your mother gets you into trouble'.

'Well doesn't that sound romantic', Christina said in a sarcastic tone. 'I'm seriously starting to think something is terribly wrong with her'.

Juice laughed with her while shaking his head. 'What is it like?' he asked next. 'Growing up in all of this?'

Christina had to think about that for a moment. 'It is chaos', she said because there simply wasn't any other word for it.

'The good kind of chaos or the bad kind?'

'Little bit of both. Sometimes a little more bad than good or the other way around. It just never seems to balance out which is kind of exhausting if you ask me'.

'I don't think it's exhausting at all. It just gives me energy', Juice commented. When Juice arrived here he felt like a big pile of failure and disappointment. But when he got into the Sons that changed. He felt like he had become something.

'Yeah', Christina signed in content. 'It does give you energy sometimes. It's home after all'.

Both of them smiled before taking another piece of cotton candy. Out of the corner of her eye, Christina saw three people walk their way, arm in arm like a nice and close family. Looking up, that was exactly what she saw. To be precise; Karen, Elliot and Tristen Oswald.

'Christina!' the now young teenager called, untangling her arm from her fathers before running towards the blonde.

Christina stood up just in time to catch the squealing girl. She smiled brightly while she held the now beautiful young girl. Christina had seen Tristen grow up. She must have been her age when she started babysitting the girl every time her parents had to go to a party of out of town, which was a lot. She had helped her with all the crises while growing up, homework, cooking, taking care of herself and a lot more. Leaving Tristen behind may have hurt her more than leaving Jackson back then.

'O my god! I can't believe it's really you!' Tristen screamed in an overjoyed way. 'Dad told me you had returned but I just couldn't believe it!'

'Well, I'm really back!'

'That's amazing! We could go horse riding again sometime if you want. Dad got me this great new thoroughbred and he is absolutely beautiful. Maybe if mom and dad have to go somewhere again. I mean, I can take care of myself now but it would be really nice to have someone around again. Someone to talk to'.

'Ow sweetheart, of course we can. But you have to ask your dad first', Christina answered before looking behind the girl. 'Hi Elliot. And Karen, it's so nice to see you again'.

Karen came walking forward with a watery smile. It was almost as if she was happy but she wasn't which Christina didn't understand. But the older woman hugged her regardless, holding her like she would hug an old friend. 'Tristen is right. It really is amazing you are back. How are you?'

'As good as I can be', Christina smiled and made a pirouette for Karen, the two of them smiling before Christina turned to Elliot.

'How is the house Christina?' Elliot asked her before curling an arm around his wife's waist.

'Totally ready. I'm busy moving everything that was still at my mom's house but after that I will be moving in'.

'Just give me sign when you are completely installed than we will start the payment the month after'.

Christina nodded, truly happy by the amount of time Elliot gave her. She was pulled back when a throat was cleared behind her. Looking over her shoulder, Christina saw Juice standing there awkwardly, obvious he didn't know what to say.

'O shit! I'm so rude', Christina said before walking back towards Juice. 'Juice, you know Elliot and Karen Oswald right?'

'Yeah of course. How are you doing sir?' Juice said as politely as he could.

The elder Oswald's gave him a slight nod, making them almost look scared and on their toes.

'And this is Tristen Oswald. I was her babysitter until the point that I got out of town. Tristen, this is my… friend Juice'.

'Hi!' Tristen said in her cheery way. 'It's nice to meet you'.

'Likewise', Juice said and smiled wide at her making Tristen look away while her cheeks started to redden.

'Well, we really should go again. It was nice seeing you again, Christina. You know you are always welcome', Karen said while laying a hand on Tristen's shoulder.

The young girl looked hurt but wasn't going to speak up right then and there. Christina saw through it. It was the same face Tristen always got when her parents had to leave unexpected.

'Hey', Christina then said which got Tristen's attention. 'Why don't you come by my house later this week? You can sleep over in the guestroom, we can bake cookies and watch chick flick like we used to. I can do your nails and hair again'.

Tristen's face lightened up immediately. Quickly she turned around to face her parents. 'Please mom, dad. Please can I stay over at Christina's sometime? I will behave, I swear! I just really want to go. I has been such a long time!'

'Yeah Elliot! It has been such a long time. We have so much to talk about', Christina said while pulling the same begging face Tristen was giving her father. Juice just watched a couple of feet away, trying not to laugh while he saw Elliot starting to crack.

The man's eyes drifted off towards Juice's position for a moment before looking back at both girls in front of him. Christina had said they were friends, right? He signed before smiling kindly. 'Okay, alright. You can stay over at Christina's later. But you will have to call first to see if she doesn't have to get to work the next day, okay?'

Tristen started jumping up and down, clapping her hands excitedly before hugging her father. 'Thanks daddy', she whispered.

'Yeah, thanks Elliot', Christina smiled. 'Well, you have to go so we will go as well. Call me Tristen? Your father has my number in case of an emergency'.

'Will do', the girl answered before walking away with her parents. Christina kept looking at their backs while the little, happy family walked into the crowd. Next, she felt Juice's body join her again.

'They are…' Juice started but really didn't know how to finish his sentence.

'Yeah', Christina said with a smile looking up at him. 'They have that effect on people. Richest people in Charming'.

'You would think that all that money would at least warm them up a bit', Juice commented while they started walking again after Christina had picked up her giant dog, holding its head under her arm.

'They don't', she answered. 'You would think so but they really don't. Many have tried and none have succeeded. The only thing they love more than their money is that little girl'.

'You really babysit in that giant ranch?' He wasn't going to deny it, he was curious about it.

'Yes, I did. Tristen and I used to bake with the maids, play hide and seek in the stables or watch movie marathons in the home cinema. I loved that job'.

'Elliot seems to like you', he said.

'He does'.

'What was that about a house he was talking about?'

'Ow, that. He rented me a house which was one of his newest investments. It is a nice one story house with a porch around the house all the way to the backyard. It's furnished so that helps with the costs'.

'You mean, he is not making you pay extra for the furnished part?'

'He's not. So I guess you could say he likes me'. Christina grinned in a sneaky way at him, her eyes glistering like a naughty girl who had just found her Christmas presents the day before Christmas.

Juice could only smile and shake his head like he didn't agree with her. 'You are such an asskisser'.

'Am not!' Christina squealed. 'I can't help it Tristen loves me like an older sister'.

'Oh yeah sure', Juice said before he stopped walking and turned towards her. 'By the way, do you really see me as a friend?'

So he had caught that, Christina thought. 'Well what else could I have said? Maybe; "This is Juice. He is a friend of my step-father and brother. You know, who are both part of the Sons of Anarchy MC. Oh, and he is too by the way but he is not dangerous at all. No, why would you think that? The tats? No, he just put those up there because they make him look dangerous. So that means your daughter is completely safe with me". That smile you gave Tristen helped your case though, might have saved me'.

'Ah, so it was just so you could keep seeing Tristen', Juice said with a megawatt grin on his face. 'What if you would have said I was your boyfriend?'

'That would have gotten me into trouble. Trust me', Christina answered.

'With who? The Oswald's or your mom?'

'Did we not have a conversation a couple of minutes ago? My mother would start buying bridal magazines if I would ever become your girlfriend'.

The seriousness on her face made Juice laugh at her, not having heard the words she had spoken, but soon he got pulled out by the ringing of his phone. He got it out of his pants pocket before looking at her. 'I have to take this', he said.

'Yeah sure. Knock yourself out', Christina said.

Juice winked at her before walking a couple of steps away from her so he could pick up his phone, all the time he felt Christina's eyes on his back. After a couple of fast words he hung up again, having gotten the massage. He walked back to her holding his phone up. 'It was really nice and everything but I have to go', he said when she was in earshot.

'Too bad', Christina said with a sad face. 'Now who is going to pretend to be my boyfriend so everyone will not only stare at me for coming back to Charming but also because a cute Son is walking next to me, me walking with a giant Labrador in my arms which makes it looks like a romantic date'.

Juice looked around, indeed seeing a lot of people staring at the two of them. 'Is that what the looks are about?' he asked.

Christina nodded. 'Yeah. It's not the tattoos if that's what you were thinking. This is a real "it's not you it's me" moment'.

'Aren't you going a little fast with that? You are breaking up with me before we even got together', Juice said in a teasing way.

Christina tried to hit his shoulder but he was out of her reach way to fast. He walked away from her but not before winking and smiling at her over his shoulder.

The young blonde woman signed in total content while looking at the reaper on his back which was slowly getting smaller and disappeared into the crowd. But wait, what did just happen?

As soon as Christina had heard what had happened to Tristen the next day, she had gotten ready and driven to the hospital. Getting out of the elevator on the right floor, she started walking towards the right room number Elliot had texted her a couple of minutes ago.

Christina held the big Labrador under her arm, her handbag over her free shoulder which contained more than just her phone and car keys. She carried a deck of cards, chocolate, nail polish, pictures from her travels, a movie player and movies with her, wanting Tristen to be totally comfortable.

Elliot was the first thing that got her in the right direction. She saw him standing next to a room, a phone to his ear and a worried expression on his face. When he saw her at the end of the hall, he quickly hang up the phone before Christina arrived. She hugged the man without even a word. Christina was not even sure what to say.

'God I'm so sorry Elliot', she whispered when the two had let go. 'Really how can something like this happen?'

'I don't know, which is part of why I wanted you here', he said.

Christina furrowed her eyebrows, waiting for Elliot to elaborate. He signaled towards the waiting area chairs before walking over. Elliot let himself fall down in one of the chairs, signing heavy while Christina sat down next to him.

'I need your help', he said. 'Tristen is in shock so she is not saying anything. You are the one person she has always liked, loved even. She thinks of you as an elder sister. I'm sure you can get her out of her shell'.

'I can try', Christina said. 'I have everything with me I need and more'.

'That's good', Elliot said with a quick nod. 'Another thing is… Things like this never happen in Charming. Like really never. Which makes me think it is someone of the outside. You are the daughter of one of the First 9, Jackson is your brother, Gemma is your mother. What do you think about this? What does… Samcro think about this?'

'I don't know if they know yet, that is point one Elliot. Two, I'm sure it has to be someone of the outside. Samcro would never let any of this happen. They would have known if it was someone from Charming. I think it would be best if you ran this by them. Tell them I have sent you if you must. They can help. If you want to find the person who did this to your little girl, you need their help Elliot'.

The man nodded his head at her, before smiling weakly and standing up. 'I will take Karen for a bit. She can pack some stuff for Tristen at the house. She just didn't want to leave because nobody would be with her'.

'I will stay until you guys get back. Or one of you gets back', Christina said and gave the man a reassuring smile.

Elliot kissed her forehead before walking towards the door of Tristen's room. He opened it without knocking, Karen looking up at them. She stood as soon as she saw Christina appear in the doorway, pulling her in for a hug as soon as she was in her reach. Karen sniffed a bit before letting go of Christina. 'Thank you for coming', Karen whispered. She didn't want to wake her daughter who was sleeping in the hospital bed. It had taken hours to get her to sleep and when she finally had drifted off she seemed really restless.

Christina nodded before Elliot and Karen made their way out of the room. The young woman kept looking at them until they had closet the door behind them. Looking at the bed and slowly stepping closer to it, Christina saw the visible wounds the pour girl had to look at in the mirror. Her face was bruised, her lip split and bruising's all over her arms and probably on her body too. The thought made Christina cringe in pain because of what happened to Tristen. Christina put the big Labrador in a chair which stood in the corner before sitting in the chair Karen had just set in. She pulled out her phone and looked through her messages. She just had one of her mothers, asking her why she wasn't there for breakfast. Quickly she replied, telling her mother as short as possible what had happened before putting the phone back in her purse. Seeing Tristen lay in the bed so broken brought tears to Christina's eyes. She put a warm hand on top of Tristen's which woke the pour girl up.

Tristen froze for a second before she recognized the touch. She opened her eyes and looked at the blonde in chair at her side.

'Christina?' Tristen asked in a weak voice. 'What are you doing here?'

Christina looked up when she heard Tristen speak, smiling as much as she could but knew the girl could still see the worry on her face. 'Your father called me, told me what happened. He asked me to come to comfort you and help you, like a real sister would do', she answered.

'Where are mom and dad?'

'Your dad had to go see some people. He said he would drop your mother off at the house so she could grab some stuff for you. They will be back soon I'm sure'.

Tristen bit her lip but let it go soon when she felt the pain, caused by the split. She was too afraid to look up, seeing the pain on other people's faces made it even harder for her.

'How are you feeling?' Christina asked.

Tristen shrugged. 'I don't really know how to feel', she admitted. 'I'm… okay I guess. The doctors say I need to rest a lot but I will be healed in a couple of weeks'.

Christina heard the slight tremor in her voice, making her sounds afraid. 'But you don't think you will be healed in a couple of weeks', Christina thought out loud, 'do you?'

Tristen didn't answer, a silent confirmation.

'Tristen', Christina whispered while giving the girl a slight squeeze. 'What happened yesterday? Who was it that did this to you?'

'I don't remember', Tristen answered but Christina didn't believe it. Tristen kept her eyes down not looking up at her but she still saw Tristen's eyes blink mutable times. It was her tell, how you saw she was lying.

'Trissie', Christina said before she stroked her hair out of Tristen's face. 'You don't have to keep secrets from me. You can tell me everything, remember. We made a promise to each other such a long time ago'.

'I know', the girl answered with a broken voice. Looking up, Christina saw the tears streaming from her eyes. 'I know I don't have to keep secrets but… mom said I couldn't tell anyone. I promised her I wouldn't talk about it with anyone except them. I don't want to break our promise but I don't want to disappoint mom either'.

Christina's face fell. Seeing the battle in such a young girl broke a peace of her. Instead of pushing the matter, Christina let it go and pulled Tristen towards her. While Tristen broke down in her arm, Christina held her and stroked her hair in a protective way. 'Shh. It's okay sweetie. You don't have to break any promises. You don't have to tell me about it. It's going to be okay, Trissie. That's my promise to you'.

'I'm so scared Christina', Tristen said in between sobs. 'What if he will hurt me again? What if…'

'Hey! Shh it's okay. Didn't I say it's all going to be okay?' Christina asked while she pushed Tristen back a little so she could look her in the eyes. 'Didn't I just promise you?'

Tristen nodded her head, tears still making their way down her cheeks.

'That's right', Christina smiled while rubbing the tears off Tristen's cheek with her hands. 'I promised you Tristen. You are safe, it's all going to be okay and I swear to you: nobody is ever going to hurt you again'.

Tristen nodded her head before pulling back into the hug, feeling safe in Christina's arms. 'I love you Christina', she whispered in her neck. 'Please never leave again'.

'I will never leave Charming again Tristen', Christina whispered and kissed the younger girls hair who was still slightly trembling in her arms. 'I will always be here for you'.

Liked it? Hated it? Anything at all? Just let me know in a review! Next Chapter: The aftermath of Fun Town.

BTW; I'd really like to make some meme's for you on my Tumblr (Fic profile: heavyliesthecrown-fanfiction), answer questions about Christina if you have them and maybe even give you some visuals of my inspiration. You can ask me and follow me on . For those of you who want to follow my personal Tumblr (mimsie95).
