Chibs let Jax get his punches in, he didn't fight back, he deserved everything he was getting. Opie pulled Jax off if Chibs, Tig helped him up to the picnic table.

"What the hell is going on?" Opie asked looking at both men.

"This bastard is leaving my sister!" Jax was trying to break out of the hold Opie had on him.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Opie asked.

"Tell him..." Jax taunted.

Chibs was wiping the blood away from his lip and nose. "I don't love her, I never did. I'm leaving her, Quinn sent my papers accepting me into Nomad, all you have to do is vote on it."

Opie turned around and sucker punched Chips in the face. "You are an unbelievable bastard. She's been through hell, and you're leaving her."

Both Jax and Opie walked into the clubhouse to get a drink, only Tig remained by his friend.

He looked at his friend. "I don't buy it Chibs. Tell me what's going on."

"Tig, I can't stay, with her. I can't keep her safe. The best thing I can do is leave her and the babies."

"Damn it man, you do still love her!"

"Promise me, you'll watch out for her and Fillip and Mackenzie."

"Don't do this! Look who her family is, she'll always be in some sort of danger...so will your children. She's safer if you're with her."

"I've made my decision."

Clay came storming across the parking lot. "Church in 10 minutes ass hole!"

It was an unanimous vote, Chibs was voted Nomad. He rode out that afternoon.

She went into their bedroom and packed all his clothes into a box, she carried it down stairs. She would have Jax take it to Fillip's house and leave it, she looked around the house. She would be strong for her children, she didn't have time to be weepy. She heard the rumble of motorcycles coming down her drive, she walked out to her porch.

Jax, Opie, and Tig got off their bikes and walked up to her. They tried to hug her and she pushed them away, and went back into the house they followed her.

"I'm fine. I'd appreciate it, if you'd come back later and take that box to Fillip's house. It's the rest of his clothes."

"Sis.."

"I'm fine."

"He went Nomad..." Tig said.

She closed her eyes and let the tears roll down her face, Jax wrapped his arms around her. She pushed away from him, the babies started to cry. She wiped the tears away and turned to go up stairs.

"I'll get them." Opie said.

"No! I'm going to take care of my children." She went up stairs, she changed them, and brought them down stairs and put them in their highchairs and fed them lunch.

The three men stood their and watched her, she offered them lunch too but they declined. "I'll have Tara come out tonight and stay with you."

"Look, I'm not some little girl that's going to fall apart! I have children to raise on my own. I don't need anyone to take care of me, I can take care of myself. You three go back to TM and do whatever it it you do." She simply dismissed them.

They walked out the door and to their bikes, Chibs Telford better never show his face in Charming again. Jax and Opie would kill him, consequences be damned.

Kerrianne's plans changed, she flew home to Belfast to visit her mum, in the hospital. It broke her heart, she didn't even recognize Kerrianne. The doctors told her that her mum's mental break was severe and would need to be kept and medicated for the rest of her life. She signed the papers and left for Charming the next day.

She thought of how things might have been different if her Da and mum hadn't been separated. She let the tears freely flow down her face as she sat back in her seat. In a few hours she'd start her future in Charming.

The last three days had been stormy, Gen was waiting for the builders to come start on her new clinic, it was time to go back to work so she could support her family. She wanted to get her stables rebuilt and get a horse. It had been a rough week, since Fillip had left, everyone was well meaning. Checking up on her, dropping by, she had to lay down the law and let them know she wasn't going to crack.

Little Fillip and Mackenzie were both fussy they were cutting teeth, the storm was ragging outside. Someone had shown up tonight unexpected, the headlights lit up the dim living room, she pulled open the door to unleash hell on which ever club member thought she needed cared to. She was surprised to find a rain drenched Kerrianne on her doorstep.

"Kerrianne, get in here. What are you doing here?" She pulled her into a hug. "You're soaking wet!" She went into the laundry room and grabbed two towels wrapping them around her.

"I'm so sorry about what my mum did."

"You have nothing to apologize for, that wasn't your fault."

"I should have seen something was wrong."

She looked into her step daughter's eye. "It wasn't your fault."

"Is my Da here?"

Gen looked away and let out an exhale. "Your Da has left me. He's gone Nomad." Kearrianne started to cry, she dropped to the floor. "What's wrong?"

"I'm starting at Charming Community next week, and I was hoping to live with you and Da...now I don't have a place to live."

"Of course you have a place to live. You can live here with me and your brother and sister."

"But what about Da?"

"I still consider you my daughter, you are welcome in my home always and forever, no matter what. No let's go pick you out a room." Kerrianne hugged Gen.

"Thank you."

"There's a second master down here, which might be quieter for you. There's a room up stairs with us, and there's one down in the basement."

"May I have the second master?"

"If that's the one you want. We can decorate it the way you want. Let's put your things in it, and then you can meet your brother and sister."

Chibs was riding back to his house, in Charming. He was trying to get into town without being detected by his former club, he was at home for ten minutes when Tig came over.

"How is she? How are the twins?"

"Go find out for yourself!"

"I can't!"

"You can't or won't?"

Chibs looked down. "I'm no good for her or Fillip, Mackenzie or Kerrianne! They are better off without me"

"Do you really believe that?"

"Aye!" He pulled out papers and placed them on the table. "Will you take those to her?"

Tig took the papers and left his friend alone, Chibs watched him go. He pulled out his phone and looked at a picture of Gen and the twins. He locked the door and went to lay down and sleep.

The new clinic and stables were starting to take shape, Kerrianne had settled in and had started her classes at CCC. The twins were into everything, they were pulling up and walking along the furniture. They both looked more and more like Fillip, she was watching them play with each other in the living room. She looked at the date on the calendar. Shit! Shit! Shit! It had been two months since they got Belfast, she hadn't had a period for two months. Shit! Shit! Shit! The sound of a motorcycle disturbed her train of thought.

She opened the door to find Tig standing on the porch. "Come in. Look babies it's Uncle Tig." Fillip and Mackenzie started squealing and bouncing up and down, Tig walked over and scooped them up in his arms.

"Hello Trouble 1 & 2!" They gabbled something the two of them understood and then giggled.

"How are you Princess?"

"Fine. The clinic should be done before long. What brings you out?" He handed her the packet of papers, she unfolded them looking at them. "Tell him, if he wants a divorce, then man up! He needs to come out and face me, ask me for one!" She threw the papers down.

"Do you still love him Gen?"

"I know I should hate him but I can't. I love him Tig, he has my heart."

"How's Kerrianne?"

"She's doing great!"

"I think you're amazing..."

"She's my daughter, just as much as lil bit here."

"Does Chibs know she's living with you?"

"I don't know...I have no idea if Kerrianne has talked to him."

"I've got to go, I'll take these back and deliver your message to Chibs." He kissed the twins and then kissed her on the cheek.

She waited for him to leave, she gave him ten minutes before she loaded them up and headed to the hospital.

She was sitting in Tara's office waiting for her, nervously pacing, the twins were sleeping in the stroller. I can't be pregnant, the doctor said it would be difficult. They had repaired her ovary and uterus, she hadn't had the tests done because Fillip had left her when they returned to Charming.

Tara walked into her office. "Hey Gen! What can I do for you?"

"I need a pregnancy test."

"Really?" She rasied her eyebrow at her.

"Yes, because I've become a croweater! Stop! It would be Fillip's!"

Tara laughed at her sister in law. "Let me go get some things and I'll draw your blood."

"Thanks!"

Tara returned to her office and drew her blood. "It could be stress."

"I know, I want to make sure."

"Remember what the doctor said, after..."

"I know."

"Would you be happy, if you were pregnant?"

"Of course I would."

"Would you get word to Chibs?"

"I don't know, he sent Tig to my house with divorce papers today."

"What?"

"If Fillip wants a divorce, he needs to man up and come ask me for one!"

"Okay, Gen. We should know something tomorrow."

"Thanks! Just between us? Everything, even the divorce?"

"Of course."

She pushed the stroller out of the hospital and strapped the twins into their car seat, the roar of a motorcycle got her attention. Her breathe caught in her throat, it was Fillip, he parked his bike and walked towards her.

"Are the they sick?"

"No."

"Why are you at the hospital?"

"I had an appointment."

"Are you well, Lass?"

She closed her eyes and clinched her jaw. "I'm fine.' She couldn't look at him, if she did she'd break down and tell him. The roar of more motorcycles came into the parking lot. "You better leave before you get your ass kicked."

He turned her around, looking at her with sad eyes, he reached out and touched her face. "Love..."

"Don't..."

Jax and Opie got off their bikes and came storming towards them, they jerked Fillip away from her.

"Get your hands off my sister!" Jax snarled.

"He was just checking on his children Jax. It's fine." She smiled at her brother and Opie. They let go of him and he got on his bike and rode off.

"Are you okay?" Opie asked.

"I'm fine." She climbed into her car and drove home, crying all the way.

Chibs was riding down the main drag of Charming when he saw Kerrianne on the street, he turned around and went back.

"Kerrianne, what are you doing here?"

"I'm a freshmen at CCC?"

"Where are you living?"

"With Gen. Where are you staying Da? Sure as hell isn't where you should be!" She looked at him with anger.

"Why are you staying with Gen?"

"Because she welcomed me into her home, told me I'd always have a place there. That she considers me her daughter no matter.. Apparently, you've abandoned her and my little brother and sister. What were you thinking Da? How could you?" She left him standing on the sidewalk, she walked to her car and drove off.
