…Chapter Three…

The next morning, Desirae got woken up by springing out of the bed to empty everything she had, into the toilet. "Never drinking again." she muttered, to herself after ten minutes or so. "Worst hangover ever." suddenly, she heard a knock on the door, and she looked up. "Oh, mornin' Chibs."

"Morning, Love." he chuckled. "Have a fun night?"

"You could say that."

"Okay, when you're ready, I got some coffee waitin' for ya." he smiled. "Your favorite."

"Awesome… I'll be out there in a few minutes."

"I'll be waiting." Chibs laughed, walking out.

Once Desirae heard the door shut, her eyes widened. "Oh, shit! Happy." she muttered, poking her head out of the bathroom, but found out that the bed was completely empty. She didn't even bother to notice that Happy was gone, when she ran in, going face down into the toilet.

After Desirae washed up, she changed into a pair of low rise jeans and a short navy blue t-shirt - showing off both tips of her star tattoos, which were below her belly button. The two of the many tattoos she's gotten over the years that she's been gone, since June of '07.

On the way out of the bedroom, she put her hair up in a messy bun, and slipped on her flip flops, then walked out to the main part of the clubhouse.

"Here's your coffee, Desi." Chibs held up the cup, then sat it down on the bar counter.

"Thanks." she sat down on the bar stool and took a sip. "You're the best."

"You're welcome." he ruffled her hair.

"So." she quickly fixed it, looking around. "Where is everybody?"

"Either working in the garage or somewhere." Chibs waved his hand and sat down next to her. "What are you doing today?"

"First - I need to figure out is my mothers house is still standing, so I can live in it with Jaden." she sighed. "But majority of the day, I want to spend time with him and possibly go shopping for some things." she shrugged. "Buy me a new phone, you know, shit like that."

Happy walked into the clubhouse and stopped in his tracks, seeing some ink peaking out from the bottom of Desirae's shirt. Not only did it make him curious, to find out what the rest of it looked like, but it made Desirae even more sexy, which also made him wonder if she had anymore ink on her. He wanted to go up to her, but decided against it, so he walked back outside, got on his bike, and went for a ride.

...

Gemma and Jaden walked into the clubhouse, fifteen minutes later. "Hey, Desi."

"Hey." she nodded, then smiled. "Hello, my handsome boy."

"Hi, Mommy." he gave her a hug, then he hopped up on the bar stool, on the other side of Chibs. "Oscar!" he yelled.

"What's up, Little Man?"

"Can you get me my usual?"

"Coming up." Oscar nodded. "Just give me a minute."

Desirae nudged Chibs. "What's his usual?"

"Chocolate milk."

"Yeah." Gemma leaned up against the counter. "He loves it."

Oscar came back, reached in the little fridge, and pulled out a kids size chocolate milk. "One chocolate cow." he opened it and set it in front of Jaden.

"Thanks, Oscar."

"You're welcome, Buddy."

"So." Gemma started. "What's on your agenda for today, Desi?"

"I was telling Chibs that, I'd go check out my moms house, go shopping, and spend some time with Jaden."

Gemma went into her purse and pulled out a set of keys, putting them in Desirae's hand. "Take the Beamer… his booster seat is already in there."

"What will you drive?"

"I got a pile of work to do in the garage, but if I have to go anywhere, I got the Escalade."

"Oh, right." Desirae nodded, then looked over at Jaden. "When you're done with that, we'll go somewhere and hang out… just you and me."

"Okay, Mommy."

Desirae finished her coffee and got off the bar stool. "I'll be right back." then she went back into the room, grabbed her purse, sunglasses, and walked out to the bar. "Ready, Jaden?"

"Uh-huh." he hopped off the bar stool.

"Okay." Desirae put on her sunglasses. "We'll be back later."

"Be careful." Gemma called out before Desirae and Jaden walked outside.

As they were getting into the Beamer, Jax and Kozik pulled up on their bikes, and parked them with the others. "Where you going?" Jax asked, walking up to the drivers side window, with Kozik going over to the passenger side.

"Jaden and I are gonna spend some time together."

"Not by yourselves."

"Jax, we'll be fine."

"No, Des, someone is going with you to make sure both of you are safe."

Kozik raised his hand. "I'll go."

Jax stared at him for a couple of seconds, then nodded. "Where ever they go, you go."

"You got it, VP." then Kozik got in his bike and started it back up.

"Jax." Desirae groaned. "We'll be fine."

"I know you will, now that Kozik is going." he winked at her, then waved at Jaden. "Have fun, Buddy."

"Okay, Uncle Jax." then as Jax walked over to the clubhouse, Desirae drove off, with Kozik riding behind her.

...

"So." Kozik stood there, standing next to Desirae and Jaden, with the three of them staring at her mothers house. "What are we doing here?"

"I just wanted to check it out… I need to find a place for Jaden and I."

"But why your moms? What if she comes back trying to take over?"

Desirae sighed. "You know what? You're right… I don't want her living under the same roof as my son, if she's strung out or whatever."

Kozik looked down at Jaden. "Hey Buddy, how 'bout you get in the car and buckle up, while I talk to your mom. We'll be leaving in a few minutes."

"Okie dokie." he nodded, then did as he was told.

Desirae raised her eyebrow. "What?"

"About six months ago, Miranda went over to T - M, wanting to see Jaden - higher than a fucking kite, but Hap, Gemma, and Tara wouldn't let her."

"Well, good… what happened after that?"

"She left and nobody's seen her since."

"Damn." Desirae shook her head and sighed. "One day, she'll get her shit together, but I highly doubt it."

"From what Gemma described, Miranda didn't look like she had anything together. She was just a mess." Desirae shook her head again, staring at the house, then Kozik nudged her. "Where to next?"

"To get me a cell phone."

"Well, let's go." Kozik smiled and got on his bike. "Ready when you are, Princess."

"Okay." Desirae got into the Beamer and both of them took off, from Miranda's house.

...

Happy was searching around the clubhouse for Desirae, but her room was empty. He wanted to tell her that last night shouldn't have happened, because he felt like he took advantage of her while drunk off her ass.

As he walked out from the hallway, he noticed Jax giving him a funny look. "What, Man?"

"What are you looking for?"

"You seen Desi?"

"Yeah, she left with Jaden and Kozik, why?"

Suddenly, Happy got pissed off, and out of the corner of his eye, he spotted Gigi. He scoffed, walking away. "It doesn't matter." then he went up to Gigi, grabbed her arm, and headed back down the hallway, into his room.

Jax thought it was strange, but he shrugged it off, headed out of the clubhouse, and over to the garage. "Hey Ma, what'd you want?"

Gemma looked up and frowned. "Clay's hands are getting worse. He won't talk to me, but maybe you can get him to step down."

"After all that fighting we did after Donna was killed, what makes you think he'll listen to me?" he paused. "We may have put that shit aside when we went looking for Abel and while we were locked up, but neither of us has forgotten about it." seconds later, his phone rang. He took it out of his pocket and didn't recognize the number. "I'll talk to you later, Mom." he said, before walking away, then pressed the talk button. "Hello?"

"Hello, Handsome."

"Who's this?"

"It's Desirae, Silly…"

"Oh, what's up?"

"I got me a new cell phone, so save this number."

"A'ight, but while you're at it, get a pre-pay too, because you never know when you might need it."

"Good idea." there was a ten second pause, before Desirae spoke. "Hey, have you seen Happy at all today?"

"Uh, yeah… earlier."

"Do you know where he is?"

"He went in his room with a crow - eater."

"Oh, okay… I'll just talk to him later, it's not that important anyway." she lied. "I gotta get going, still shopping."

"Bye, Des."

"See you later, Jax." she said, then hung up her phone.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Kozik asked, studying her face.

"Nothing, but Jax wants me to buy a pre-pay, just in case." she put on a fake smile. "Ready to do some more shopping? "

"You bet." he winked, then looked down at Jaden. "Wanna ride with me?"

Desirae's eyes widened. "What?"

"It's okay, Mommy, I ride with Uncle Jax, Happy, and Kozik all the time."

Desirae frowned at Kozik. "Oh, really?"

"Oh, come on, Des." he laughed. "Jaden's fine, he always wears a helmet, and we're always careful while he rides."

"Can I go with him, Mommy?"

Desirae stared at Kozik for a few seconds, then nodded. "Okay."

"Yay!" Jaden hugged her leg.

"Let's go, Buddy."

"Wait." Desirae grabbed Kozik's arm, before he walked away, and pointed her finger in his face. "You be extra careful."

Kozik put up his hands in defeat. "I'll be one hundred and ten percent careful."

"You better." she gave Jaden a kiss on the top of his head. "Have a fun ride."

"Love you, Mommy."

"Love you too, Baby."

"Where's my kiss?"

Desirae glared at Kozik. "Don't push it." he laughed out loud, then as him and Jaden got on his bike and got situated, Desirae got into the Beamer and drove off, with Kozik and Jaden beside her, to go do some more shopping.
