AN. So the original chapter was intended to continue from the last chapter as the prologue of the story but it hasn't turned out that way. I really wanted to pick up a few more years later but felt that if I did, no one would really understand why I did it. So instead this picks up two years later.
And lastly, all pairings are as they are on the show.
Two years after Thomas' death- 1992
You could never truly get over someone dying.
JT was hardly ever around now. When he was, he was the best father to his three kids though. He was very tentative and made a habit to keep up to date with their education and all the parent/teacher evenings with all three teenagers. He'd even made it to plays his girls were cast in and occasionally sports games they participated in and he loved his wife.
Gemma was always the strong willed, head held high woman who never let her guard down about her baby boy's death but sometimes she couldn't help it. She was always dishing out the ways and good advice about being the good old lady but she needed someone to be there for her.
Occasionally JT and Gemma would let their guards down, only willing to comfort each other in their own home.
Jax. Jax hadn't really shown much light after their baby brother died. He was more laid back, never really caring about this or that and occasionally would lash out at Freya for shit she asked about in regards of Thomas.
Megan tried her best to keep her grades up and not let their brother's death ruin her chances of wanting to become something more for her family. She at least owed it to JT and Gemma and also Thomas who would forever have a special place in her heart.
Then there was Freya. Her stance was much like Megan's. She wanted a better life for herself. She wanted to do something to help kids like Thomas and she was going to succeed even if she had to crawl her way out of a bloody battle field to do so.
The club life seemed to have threatened them from the massive Mayan heat they were receiving and a few guys from up north were visiting for protection and backup in case shit got hectic.
Freya POV
"You know, I hate this fucking shit" I scolded as the clubhouse slowly packed to capacity. I watched as members from all around slowly piled into the clubhouse which had me curious in the least. The only thing I was glad about was that besides me Jax and Megan, Opie was the only other club kid in SAMCRO. Uncle Tig had two daughters but they didn't live with him. That went the same for uncle Bobby and uncle Chibs. The rest of the members didn't have family's.
"You know it's mandatory baby girl" my dad rasped as he pulled both me and Megan into his arms.
Yeah, that was about all I knew. Aside from my dad and the club getting a little heat from the Mayans, everything seemed to be quiet, which set me on edge. Quiet wasn't ever something good in our world. It always meant trouble was soon about to hit us. Well, I guess you could say that lockdown meant as such.
"Go find Opie and your brother, tell them we're gathering now" dad asked of me and Megan.
I groaned but kissed his cheek before leading Megan away. "You know, I was supposed to hang out with David this weekend-" Megan cut herself off mid-sentence when she slammed into my back when I stopped slamming into a wall of a man in the middle of the hallway. "What the heck?" She scoffed behind me.
"Sorry babe" he smirked down at me. That was one thing that drove me crazy.
"Happy" I cheered in excitement wasting no time in jumping into his arms, my legs wrapping around his waist and his hands gripping my ass.
"That's right baby, I'm back" I grinned from ear to ear before he had me backed against the wall pulling me into a much needed breath taking kiss.
"I thought you were staying up in Tacoma."
"Change of plans and I guess the element of surprise was on my side." I couldn't stop the massive stupid grin forming on my face when he pulled me in for another kiss.
"Ugh, you two disgust me. I'm gonna go find the boys."
"Come on babe" he gestured for me to walk in front of him towards the main room and I groaned.
The club all knew about mine and Happy's ten month relationship including my parents. At first dad was dead set against it seeing as I was jailbait and shit but then he saw how happy Happy made me, no pun intended. He re-ignited that spark back into my life when Thomas passed and cared for me in no ways that anyone ever had before.
I didn't care that he went by Tacoma killah or the club's enforcer or whatever other name they called him. I knew he did the bad shit for the club but he wasn't aggressive as the club made him out to be and he wasn't quiet or awkward or fearful like they said. The guys all gave me their opinion of him but I got to know him in ways he wouldn't ever let another person beside his mother in on. I didn't actually think he let any other girl know him like I knew him. To me, outside of the club he was sweet, genuine, thoughtful protectively possessive and loving in more ways than one.
Third person POV
"First off, I just want to apologize for the inconvenience but as you all know, we've been getting a little heat from a few allies of ours so this is just a precaution" JT rasped. "Keeping it brief, I'll only keep to the basics. I can assure everyone that we will make this out alive. Thank you to Lee and Tacoma and Reggie and Rogue River for all your continued protection with this. Hopefully we'll have everything settled by the end of the week. If you have any problems with living arrangements, be sure to ask my queen, if you have any security questions, ask Piney my VP. As for SAMCRO and the visiting chapters, church in a half hour." JT finished.
Freya groaned as the members resumed their previous conversations and Freya turned back towards Happy while Jax and Opie stood to their right.
"How long are you guys here for?" Jax asked.
"Don't know yet but we should be outta here by the end of the week" Happy answered but kept his eyes trained in on Freya.
"Well then we have to make the most of it" Freya whispered in his ear when she pulled him down.
-o0o-
While all the chaos was happening downstairs, all four teenagers sat up on the roof overlooking TM. It was truly the best place for them to just hang out without being crowded by the club. It was also the bed place to hide out from Gemma who was searching around for them. Currently their conversation topic had been all about Megan going on and on and on about rather wanting to be with her boyfriend David Hale.
"You know what Meg's, your not the only one with a social life" Opie snapped. "Donna was supposed to come over."
Megan sighed in frustration, raking her hand through her hair as she did so. The boys- even Freya- were beginning to get annoyed, all because she'd rather be somewhere else.
"Shit I'm sorry. I was just excited for the date we were gonna go on."
Opie softened at that. Although he didn't like the dipshit she was dating, seeing her smile about something was still slightly hard to come by. Thomas' death obviously hit close to home.
"Where was the dipshit taking you?"
"A rock concert in Stockton. Metallica were supposed to be playing."
"No fucking way" Opie's eyes bugged out of his eyes.
"Sounds like he's kissing your ass" Jax scoffed although deep down he was jealous- he was just too arrogant to admit it.
"Whatever Jax" Megan scoffed. "Don't be jealous now."
Jax glared at his two sisters for a moment before scoffing once again. "At least Tara's coming around so I won't be spending my time with you three."
"I'll have Hap so count me out of that boat" Freya smirked. Actually she was gushing about spending time with Hap while Megan and Opie groaned.
"I could always call Donna. See if she'll come hang out with us."
"No. You wouldn't" Megan groaned. "I'll be a loner. I'll have to hang with the guys. Better yet, Gemma will order me around to do shit." Although Gemma and JT had adopted Megan, she called them their names out of respect for her own parents who'd died in a car accident when she was eleven.
"No you wouldn't" Jax smirked. "We can all hang out with each other."
"That sounds even worse. All you three will ever be doing is liplocking and I don't take to kindly having it rubbed in my face."
"Suit yourself."
"Hey Freya, are you okay? Your lookin kinda pale" Megan stated with furrowed brows.
"I'm not feeling the greatest."
"Maybe you should go lay down."
"I think I will." Without another word, Freya made her way back down. Her eyes squinted when she looked back up to the roof then back towards dark brown eyes watching her with caution. She couldn't help but bite the inside of her cheek and made her way to him.
"Been wondering where you got to" Happy smirked, pulling her to him.
"I wasn't that far. Where'd everyone go?" She asked looking out to the empty lot.
"Take care of shit. Me and a few of Tacoma are on watch here."
"Goodie. How about that game of pool you owe me?"
"Your on."
For the rest of the afternoon they played one on one enjoying their flirtatious time together before Jax, Opie, Megan and Tara came in wanting to play doubles with each other.
"Anyone bring their cards? I feel like playing poker" Freya smirked.
"This is a motorcycle clubhouse Freya, this place is bound to have a pack somewhere" Jax joked knowing exactly where the guys kept their cards. He made his way around the bar and pulled out a new pack of playing cards.
A roar of motorcycles stopped the pack from proceeding with their intentions of wanting to play.
"Sweetheart, come here a sec" Lee grinned with waiting arms. Freya hadn't spoken to him since the last time he was here so she smiled.
"Hey uncle Lee. How's it going?"
"Good darlin. I was wondering where you'd gotten too. Listen, when this shits over, Louise wanted you to ride back with us. Now, don't go getting all excited but you have to be the one to ask your parents."
"I will. Thank you uncle Lee." She had no idea where that came from but she loved spending time in Tacoma with one of her two godfathers and his family. And she'd be lying if she said spending time with Happy was an added bonus.
A few moments later she could feel Happy's breath on her skin and shivered at the sensation.
"What'd he want?" Freya smirked while casting her eyes over everyone filled in the clubhouse.
"Nothing much. I'm just suddenly feeling sick right now" she rasped feeling rile building up in her.
"Your feeling kinda warm. Go lay down and I'll bring you something" he rasped softly placing a kiss to her crown.
-o0o-
Freya didn't know what it was that had her throwing up all night and the next day but she hated getting sick. The thought of not managing to hold anything down, lying in bed lazy instead of getting out for the day pissed her off to no end.
A knock at her door caught her attention and she perked up over her covers to see her mother coming in with a tray full of things.
"How you feeling baby?"
"Same as last night. I wanna go home mama" she pouted like a child.
"I know baby but we're on lockdown remember and as much as your father and I want to take you home, I'm afraid it's out of the question." Being treated like a kid from Gemma made Freya feel loved however. She was treated as the sick patient and it warmed her heart to know Gemma cared for her like she was her own child.
With a sick sigh, Freya curled back up in her blankets and dozed off again.
Around lunch time another knock pulled her from her deep slumber and she let out a croaky come in.
It was Happy. He walked in with a warm smile- one that he rarely showed anyone- and pulled his kutte off without saying anything.
"You feeling okay babe?" He rasped once he was under the covers and pulling her closer.
"I am now that your here. Thanks for holding my hair back while I blew chunks" she scoffed. She felt it was actually embarrassing for her boyfriend to witness that.
"All good babe. I'm not here just for the sex" he grinned as he drew soothing circles over her hipbone causing a tingling sensation between Freya's middle.
"Stop baby. Your makin me horny" she moaned causing Happy to smirk.
"Shit, I'll stop" he pressed a kiss to her shoulder blade then waited until she twist over facing him before relaxing some.
"You'll still be here when I wake up right?"
"Yeah. Just sleep babe."
